Chapter 65: Magic Props
Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
Elsie was not the only one who was tempted to hear that Link was going to make a magic prop, and Servis, who was halfway through dinner, rushed to the union, and with him came the dwarven patriarch Wolfe, who happened to be in the city lord's mansion.
Yoda, who was reluctant at all means, could only ask Link, who was waiting in the union warehouse to choose materials.
"It's okay, let them in. ”
"But ......"
"There are two sides to everything, so think on the bright side. ”
"What do you mean?" Yoda didn't understand what Link meant by 'good aspects'.
"Servis himself is an authentic nobleman, who knows neither martial arts nor spells, and I can make him a purely ornamental magic prop, which can be used to promote the auction in advance. "Anyway, in the near future, the news that the Child of Nature has been invited to become a guild master will spread all over Big 6, and Link doesn't think there's any need to hide it from Sevis.
Both Servis and Wolfe had their eyes fixed on Link, and they didn't look at the vast array of materials that filled the warehouse. If the former covets the title of craftsman, the latter is purely a glimpse of the process of making objects by a craftsman.
"City Lord, you've come just in time. I just signed an agreement with the union to exchange magic items for supplies to Befast, and considering that the finished products of the zuò are to be auctioned, I would like you to give me a reference, what kind of magic products are the nobles usually more interested in?"
When Servis heard this, he immediately felt like a chicken, but Wolf answered Link's doubts before he did.
"Hmph~ Those human nobles have the same preferences, they only like luxurious and delicate things, just refer to the style of the elves. ”
Clearing his throat, Servis said that aristocrats usually preferred items with fine workmanship and intricate patterns, preferably those that fully reflected their noble status and deep financial resources.
Link's gaze swept through the pile of materials, and finally settled on a large pottery bowl filled with a special mineral called 'star sand'. It's translucent, a bit like soul energy, except for it can sparkle like a fluorescent, it's nothing special in itself, because the melting point is too high, and both forging and enchantment only use it as decoration. Especially when making zuò props for the aristocracy, they like to attach it to the surface with high temperatures.
Link walked over and reached out to grab a handful of powdered star sand from the bowl.
Translucency, the properties of light, and soul energy are a bit imaginary, if they can be smelted into a solid state......
[Are you sure you want to use your spiritual power in this kind of place?] Lorelei's consciousness came uninvited again.
[Anyway, what will be reset with the camp the next day, can you keep it for food?] Link felt that Lorelei's stubborn and rigid old thinking was hopeless.
[Even if you want to do it, you want to make something practical?] Lorelei couldn't agree with Link's behavior.
The flames composed of spiritual power took on a dark blue color in the air, and the star sand in Link's hand seemed to be pinched and held by a pair of invisible hands, and soon turned from sand to solid.
"Oh oh oh~" The dwarf's eyes straightened with excitement, this was a temperature that the furnace could not reach, although I don't know how the children of nature did it. All in all, it's great to see it for yourself.
Servis, who didn't know how to forge or magic, certainly didn't know what was so peculiar about the scene in front of him, and in his opinion, Link behaved like a street performer performing vaudeville.
In fact, the blue flame is not the high temperature that Wolf thinks, it is just a manifestation of the visualization of mental power. Link condensed the star sand into shape with pure spiritual power, and the fluorescence contained in the material itself was fused together, making it look like light wrapped in a translucent substance, and Link made it into the shape of a short sword, and the fluorescence became a 'skeleton'. It looks mysterious and bizarre at the same time.
The finished product was shaken, and it was surprisingly not too heavy. Is it because the material itself is very light? In short, it is a thing that conforms to the aesthetics of the aristocracy, and I wonder if Servis is satisfied with it......
"This ...... For me?" Servis was flattered to take it from Link, he also knew that the raw material was star sand, which was often used for decoration, and he didn't expect that smelting molding would have this effect.
"It's not practical, it's just an ornament. Worried about the aristocracy's penchant for showmanship, Link made a point of reminding Servis. It's just a decoration, it's not sharp, it's not sturdy, don't use it for a duel or something.
Servis untied his belt and hung up a translucent dagger about the weight of a precious stone. In terms of appearance alone, this is indeed a piece of delicate and mysterious artefacts. Just like its material, the symbolic meaning is greater than the practicality, and the aristocracy uses it just right.
Not only the half-elf Orlando, but even the dwarves who advocate simplicity have to admit that this ornament is really good-looking. However, Wolf knew more about the preciousness of a craftsman than the illiterate Servis, and he hurried out of the guild and returned a short time later, bringing with him another dwarf, Jim, who was holding gray-brown leather and silver-blue ore in his hands, and begged Link to help them make a magic weapon.
Dwarves are known to know no magic, nor do they know how to make magic weapons. When fighting, he relies on his naturally rough skin and sturdy** to defend against enemy attacks, which is a disadvantage against mages.
"This is the skin of the abyssal beast you killed in the waters of Sonder City, and it was sold as loot to Valolet when the undead broke the city. It's supposed to be yours. Jim offered the folded beast skin with both hands, and they had nothing to do with the Children of Nature in exchange.
Link didn't reach for Trollope's leather, he picked up the adamantite gold that Wolf was holding.
Dwarves are natural warriors, and are better suited to heavy weapons such as axes and hammers than swords. As for the attributes......
He suddenly had the idea of combining the laws of nature with enchantment.
Are you sure you want to enchant the dwarven weapon?] Lorelei's consciousness didn't say no, but only confirmed with Link whether he wanted to enchant the dwarven weapon.
[Why do you ask?]
[You should know your identity, the child of nature represents a pillar. There is a precedent like Hicks, and the column is very strict about the behavior of the children of nature, and if there is a slight deviation, what awaits you is the disqualification of the disqualification. 】
[The most important thing at this stage is to deal with the Grim Reaper, and to unite all species under the banner of anti-undead, it is not enough to shout slogans. Link's mental power suddenly increased, and all the pure gold in Wolfe's hand floated up.
Feeling the heat from the soul forge, Wolf and Jim couldn't help but take a few steps back.
Unlike the star-sand short sword, which was useless in making zuò, the material used this time was precious metal pure gold, and Link put in more mental power and took longer.
Everyone stared intently at the ever-changing shape of the metal in mid-air, melting and converging together from lumps to knead the rough shape. The final product is a two-handed sledgehammer in the shape of a rock, probably considering the height of the dwarf, the handle part is not very long, and from a distance it looks like a crude stone tool used by the ancients.
Servis, who represented the aesthetics of the aristocracy, shook his head again and again, thinking that it was too ugly. Orlando, who represents the elven aesthetic, just stared at the hammer and didn't say anything. As ordinary people, Yoda and Elsie are more concerned about the efficacy of this magic weapon, and as for beauty and ugliness, it is not in their consideration.
Wolf excitedly took the sledgehammer made for the dwarves, each of whom was a born miner and forger, and he had also made adamantite weapons, and he could feel that this weapon had some kind of power in addition to its weight.
As for what magic was attached, Link's answer was, "Just give it a try." ”
Elsie volunteered to take Wolf to a training ground for new entrants, and gathered a small group of mercenaries to try out Link's first magic weapon.
It was only then that Orlando, who had been silent, spoke, "I think it's better not to test with a living person." ”
"Huh?" the mercenary leader suddenly wondered, what do you mean not to use a live test?
"You should have seen the power of Link's lightning sword, it is a strange thing that he made himself, I am afraid that this hammer is too powerful, if you accidentally cause casualties......"
After Orlando said this, Elsie was also a little worried, but how could he back down at this time.
"You don't have to worry about this, I used the law of double cause and effect when I made zuò, as long as it doesn't touch the ground, it won't lead to its true power. Link gestured to the ground, telling Wolf to be careful not to touch the rocky hammer with the ground.
Causality!
This word surprised and delighted the dwarves, surprised that the children of nature would actually use the law of cause and effect on a weapon that was only of the magic level, and happy that Link had made this weapon very carefully.
Irsi, who was not at ease, asked his subordinates to replace all their leather shields with refined iron shields with higher defensive power, and the new entrants who had been temporarily ordered to rest were curiously gathered outside the training grounds, waiting to see the scene of the dwarves fighting the mercenaries.
Call...... Suck......
Taking a deep breath, Wolf swung his sledgehammer at the human mercenaries who surrounded him.
Bang! Bang!
The dull sound of blows sounded one after another, and the mercenary holding the iron shield was knocked away by the huge force, and fell into a mess, including Elsie himself.
The dwarf's blow is so powerful? can't it? The onlookers exclaimed in surprise.
Elsie, who had fought with Wolf, knew that the dwarves did not have such strength, and this should be the power of magic weapons.
But what Wolf was thinking about at the moment was the true power of Link's mouth.
What happens if you touch the ground?
Unable to control the thought of giving it a try, he slammed the rock-like hammer into the ground.
With a bang, the ground centered on Wolf, or to be precise, centered on the hammer, shook violently, like an earthquake, and the mercenary who had just gotten up could not stand, and fell to the ground.
Wolf looked back at Link, unaffected by the shock, rubbing his chin.
"I think it's a good name, what do you think?" (To be continued!)
