Chapter 18 Job Search (1)

After the creak of the door opening, Gustav was able to enter Leok's storefront.

There was no such thing as the dazzling array of casting equipment and the smelting furnace in full swing, and there were only books, lots of books, except for a buzzing periodic sound. The table was full of drawings from the design, as well as a set of measurement tools made of diamonds.

Rulers, triangles, compasses.

Casually looking at the store before communicating with the owner made Gustav suddenly feel a little rude. Quickly turning his gaze to Mr. Leok, who had opened the door for himself, Gustav stretched out his hand: "It's a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Leok, I'm Gustav of Redfarr." ”

Leok is a kind-looking human. Probably because of his age, the corners of his eyes are a little droopy and his beard is half gray.

His build, though sturdy, was not as big as the other blacksmiths. Moreover, Leok was wearing a crisp white shirt and a small cowhide vest, which looked more like a business person.

"Young man, are you here to enlist?" Leok was clearly looking forward to Gustav's arrival, and his tone was patient and calm. With his right hand outstretched, he motioned for Gustav to sit down at the round table beside him.

Gustav, who had been relieved, nodded, sat down, and said, "If your request, Mr. Leok, is a second-class demon forbidden person who is proficient in spiritual powers, I may be able to do it. ”

Perhaps thinking of what happened to him in other blacksmith shops before, Gustav added: "Although my strength and physique are still a little thin for the time being, I am ready to train myself according to the standards of a war officer, and I believe that I will soon be able to reach the standard......

Leok waved his hand and said with a smile: "What a young man with a strong personality. I'm not worried about your strength, in fact, this job certainly requires some strength, but intelligence and number sense are what I need the most. ”

Don't need much strength?!

"Before I do that, I'll make sure, Gustav...... Your two basic conditions. Leok turned, put on his gloves, and removed from the bookshelf behind him a piece of metal with countless patterns, which could take on a pale purple mixed with a hint of pink without polishing. "This is Aojing, one of the most common magic item forging metals. ”

"You hold it," he said, handing Gustav the hand. "It may take a while, but before that, let's have a chat. ”

This is called an interview, right? Gustav had experienced this kind of thing before he came to this plane, and he remembered the process.

"While I really don't have anything to worry about the thieves here, it is prudent to ask where you came from. Leoke served the two of them a white-glazed porcelain teacup and poured black tea into it. "Gustav, your skin color, hair color, and pupil color are not common types, so where is your hometown?"

"The land of mountains and seas, according to inference, was teleported here by an inexplicable spatial vortex. Gustav was already familiar with the story: "The first time I appeared outside this Redfarr, I was spotted by the patrolling guards. After that, I underwent a series of arcane tests, as well as a god test, and under normal conditions, Nata sent to His Excellency Joseph by Rui Si and other liaison officers for investigation. ”

Leok asked, "Is the Joseph you are talking about the silver dragon Joseph?"

"His Excellency Joseph is indeed a silver dragon, and holds the titles of High Dragon Grammarian and High Arcanist. Gustav knew that although Joseph was a little eccentric, his identity was a good guarantee for himself. "Does Mr. Leoch know His Excellency Joseph?"

"In business, Joseph trusted me and ordered a lot of equipment and facilities. Leok nodded, since Gustav knew Joseph and accepted Joseph's investigation, the security level had basically been finalized. "However, if you are a member of the Shanhai Hundred Tribes, you can go to the Shan Hai Hundred Tribes in the settlement in the craftsman area in the future. They are very delicately made and have a different kind of intelligence. ”

"So you're a freelancer now?" Leok asked tactfully.

"There's currently an apprenticeship spot in Igbre," Gustav said, "and because it's a second-class forbidden state, it's hard to solve the problem of using arcane in the short term. Therefore, I think it is better to act as a warrior for the time being, and only mentally train in the arcane aspect first. ”

An Arcanist who has no spirit level and cannot use Arcane is not as good as a warrior who can only use a little swordsmanship in terms of combat power. Gustav's choice was as decisive as that of many second-class forbidden demons.

"Hehe, we'll work on the spiritual level later, now Gustav you can hand me the Ao Jing in your hand. Leok smiled and commanded.

The current state of the piece has changed somewhat, and Gustav can clearly see that where his right hand touches, there are patches of color with very different colors. Where Gustav was held, the color of the Ao Jing became dull, showing the color of metal, and in the surrounding area, it turned from lilac to deep purple, and the original slight pink was no longer visible.

"If the Demon Forbidden holds this Ao Jing, the final result is that the Ao Jing itself will not change. Leok nodded with satisfaction and explained to Gustav: "In reality, many things are insulated from arcane source energy, and the extremely pure forbidden demon trait will not repel the source energy itself. ”

"Only the inferior forbidden demon characteristics, because their own characteristics are not complete, will be repulsed, and then the phenomenon of the source energy matter in this arcane crystal being expelled and enriched in the surrounding parts. In addition, the Demon Breaking trait will cause a lot of purification damage in this piece of arcane crystal, and it will become a metal filament with a slightly better texture, and its value will be greatly reduced. ”

After carefully confirming the state of the piece of arcane crystal again, Leok looked up in satisfaction.

"Very well, Gustav, you are indeed a second-class demon forbidden. Leoke had implicit expectations for Gustav. "However, I need to ask for your consent before I can proceed with the following matters. ”

Gustav was a little nervous, but when it came to the point, he had to go on. "Mr. Leok, what's the matter?"

"I need you to unleash all your spell bits," Leok said with some embarrassment, "Well, at least a semi-standard arcane model's mental space is needed." In fact, I need you to inscribe a non-standard arcane model into it. ”

Gustav was stunned.

In general, Arcanist's spell slot is very tight. There are so many arcane arts to choose from in the same tier that you need to choose carefully to deal with most situations. For the Arcanist, spell slots are valuable spaces that cannot be easily liberated.
