The future that Lento paints is fascinating. At least in Gustav's view, Lento's judgment that 'the adventurers as a whole are developing in a more elite direction, and that the equipment manufacturers as trendsetters should quickly seize the gap in the market' are very accurate.

In the Magic Empire, and even in the Arcane Empire, magic items and equipment were very rare and expensive. Of course, the production methods at that time were also very rudimentary, and some were even very bloody. Unable to solve the stability of enchantments and understand the nature of Source Resonance like Arcanists, the former Gear Builders were able to rely on gathering raw materials from living creatures to craft.

For example, the legendary equipment 'Giant Killer Omiral' is a powerful two-handed hammer, especially for Titans, where the Giant's lethality is outstanding. But the truth behind it is very terrifying: Omilal himself was made using the skull of a Molten Giant as a base, and collected the Giant's curse and life essence through witchcraft. Fusioncore giants themselves are great creatures that need to be challenged at a very high level, and the legendary equipment crafted in this way can of course come with the destruction of giant human creations.

After escaping the barbaric era, the instinctive cult of magic began to completely disintegrate from the Arcane First Republic. The production of magical equipment and magic weapons began to move in a more rational direction, and by now, the focus has been on how the arcane model is engraved on the equipment and how to condense and integrate.

Accepting Lento's request, Gustav and Mr. Leok go to the 'Sword and Sorcery' magic equipment workshop run by Lento Marcus.

"We at Sword & Sorcery need equipment with extreme precision, and the accuracy needs to be controlled to an almost demanding level to be able to ensure the integrity of the arcane model etching. On this point, my friend Leok, you are an undoubted expert, and I hope to be able to count on your help. Lento led the two men towards the etching room of the workshop.

"You should know the basics of magical equipment making, Gustav?" asked Lento.

Gustav nodded, and while studying in Igbre, he was exposed to some relevant knowledge.

Whether it is voestalpine or other source-sensing metals, they have a complete set of source-energy coverage within themselves. In order to achieve the etching of arcane models into the equipment itself, the fundamental principle is to construct a 'forbidden' part of the source energy from the source energy corrosive matter on top of these source energy coverages. The main body of the arcane model is realized through these forbidden parts, when using magic equipment, because of the difference in source energy, the source energy will pour into these forbidden parts from the high concentration part, and when the model has the source energy, it can be like an arcane master, and the corresponding arcane effect can be stimulated.

"I know some, Mr. Lento, by eroding the inner cladding of the source-sensing metal, by forming the forbidden areas of space to become the main body of the arcane model. ”

Lento nodded in satisfaction.

"It's easy to say, but it's very cumbersome and complicated to do. Lento made a gesture and continued: "If it is a regular geometry, of course, it is very easy to etch, but often it involves many number theory problems of cylinders, cones, spheres, and torus. After all, adventurers don't want to go on an adventure with a rectangular bar, they need magical equipment that is both beautiful and functional. ”

Gustav was touched by Lento's joke and smiled.

The arcane model itself is a three-dimensional complex collection of figures, and is layered, with the higher the arcane layer, the more layered the arcane. Correspondingly, the higher the level of arcane models, the more effort and time it takes for the magical equipment manufacturer to etch them into the magical equipment, and of course the related number theory operations will be more complex and cumbersome. Generally speaking, the price of magic equipment for etching Level 3 standard Arcane will be around 100 Gold Karin, and then the general rule is that before Level 5 Arcane Model Etching Equipment, the price will increase by a multiple of two for each level increase.

The magic equipment after the fifth level of arcane is already a very rare and precious material, and the price is very exaggerated.

In this situation where three gold cards can make an ordinary family live in abundance for a month, the profits of the magic equipment manufacturer are quite eye-catching. Therefore, it is often only possible for a professional of a considerable level to accumulate enough money to pay for the purchase of magical equipment after going through thrilling missions again and again.

"Here we are, this is the etching room. Outside the etching room, Lento clapped his hands and motioned for Gustav and Leok to stop.

The etching room was silent, with almost no sound.

There weren't many people working in it, and it looked like there were only six employees working. They were all dressed in white robes, tightly wrapped around their bodies, and wore masks and blindfolds together. Enchanting equipment is a very tedious and delicate task, especially after entering the Arcane Age, which involves the planarization of the three-dimensional arcane model, which can be a staggering amount of work.

"It's homework time, so we'd better not go in and disturb us. Lento said softly, even through the heavy glass acoustic enclosure, he remained cautious and careful.

"It's 8:16 p.m., wait another 14 minutes, and you'll get to rest. Lento looked at the time and continued: "At that time, Gustav, you can go in and see it on the spot. ”

Gustav nodded, curious about what he saw.

In the etching room, there are six control stations, and the front of the control table has a view concentration device similar to a magnifying glass. Equipment that needs to be enchanted is attached to the helix on the console, which can be rotated at any time to facilitate the enchanter's etching of arcane models.

The Enchanter holds a delicate nozzle that shoots a corrosive beam that pierces through the surface of the metal with precision, thereby corroding the intact source layer inside the source-sensing metal, creating a forbidden band that is part of the planarization of the arcane model. This corrosive beam is invisible light and can only be seen through a specific device. The blindpatch they wear is capable of catching corrosive beams, allowing the enchanters to accurately grasp the progress of the enchantment.

Their hands are extremely steady, and they have a mechanical demeanor for the manipulation of their fingers, and it is clear that these people are all mentally trained arcanists, and each of them has a considerable arcane foundation.

The enchanter was very engrossed in his work, and even Gustav was infected by this atmosphere.

Fourteen minutes flew by, and as the enchanter received the order to rest for a while, they stopped what they were doing.

Enchanting equipment is quite draining, and in the early days, there were even cases of sudden death of enchanters. Therefore, the current magic equipment manufacturers will make it mandatory for enchanters to take a thirty-minute break after working a magic spell, and at the same time cooperate with the corresponding potion to maintain mental power.

The door to the etching room opened, and the enchanters greeted each other as they stepped out of it.
