Chapter 90: Blair's Advice
"Ah, so tired, so tired." Farah lay down on his bed without the slightest ladylike image, and sighed and said, "I've been playing for days in a row, and my feet hurt." β
Ryan gently took off her leather boots, gently kneaded her pink calves, and helped her soothe her muscles, and after a while, Faras said with satisfaction: "Okay, I'll sleep for a while, you go and do your work." β
Ryan gave Faras a gentle kiss on the face and whispered, "Sleep for a while, I'll call you at dinner." With that, Ryan walked out of Faras's room and gently closed the door for her.
Although he has returned to the pride of the lion king, although Ryan also feels a little mentally tired, but he can't rest immediately, Ryan still has a lot of things to do, in the past few days of playing, Ryan has a lot of ideas about the production of magic items, and about going to the Blackstone Auction House to find the whereabouts of the Song of the Soul Town, Ryan has not discussed with Flanner in detail, in addition to these, Ryan also plans to take a little time to find Master Blair.
Ryan came to Mochizuki City with a special mission, although he didn't like to be calculated by Luke very much, and he was not very enthusiastic when carrying out the mission, but since he came, there must always be an acceptable result. A few days after meeting Master Blair, Ryan tactfully asked him about the six-member council in Mochizuki City, but unfortunately Master Blair said that he didn't know anything about it either, and only promised to inquire for Ryan.
Now that almost a month has passed, and Master Blair hasn't seen him for more than ten days, I don't know if he has found any valuable news, Ryan is going to meet Master Blair again before going to the Blackstone Auction House, and at the same time ask Master Blair about some information about the Blackstone Auction House.
Ryan casually pushed open Franner's room, and saw Franna sitting at the table admiring a piece he had made a few days ago, and the corners of his mouth suddenly smiled, and he said, "If you have any opinions, just ask." β
When Franner heard this, he looked up and saw that it was Ryan coming, so he stood up and said to him, "Sit down." β
Ryan and Franna sat down together, and Franner poured Ryan a glass of water, watched him take a sip, and then said, "I don't know anything about magic, so I can't comment on the power of your work." But, well, don't be angry when I say it. β
Ryan laughed and said, "I know I'm doing too shabby, you don't have to say anything about it." β
"Then I'll say it. Franner pointed to the ornament in his hand and said slowly: "In terms of materials, I can see that this is made of mythril wire to weave a base, and then set various gems into the energy needed to provide the activation of the magic array. These Mithril filaments look strange, most of them are magic arrays, right? As far as a magic item is concerned, the effect should be good, right? But as far as a carry-on accessory, this look is really ......"
Ryan rubbed his nose embarrassedly, of course he knew how ugly the appearance of the work he made, of course, he didn't blame Ryan entirely, after all, Ryan had never been exposed to the education of those nobles since he was a child, and he didn't know anything about the so-called art, in his eyes, this work was a magic array superimposed one after another, and then inlaid with gems in key parts to provide energy for the operation of the magic array, as for whether the appearance was good-looking, to put it bluntly, Ryan didn't think about it at all, of course, he couldn't think about it if he wanted to, because he had never seen the so-called artwork at allγ
"Perhaps, when I'm hungry for making these things in the future, I'll have to ask Faraz for help. Ryan thought for a moment and said, "With her help designing the exterior pattern, it should be ......."
"Haha, Ryan, you can actually read more books on this for yourself. Master Blair's voice came from outside the door, and as the door was pushed open, Master Blair walked in briskly.
"It's you, Blair. Ryan and Franner stood up together to greet him, but Blair said disapprovingly, "You go on, just let me not be there." β
Ryan smiled and said, "How can this be. β
"Master Blair is a grandmaster in this area, why don't you give me more guidance on Lane. Franner hurriedly said, "Look, this is Ryan's work that he finished a few days ago." β
Master Blair carefully examined the ornaments in Flanna's hand, then nodded and said to Ryan: "Yes, the progress is very fast." If I hadn't heard Lille and York talk about you beforehand, I would never have believed that your work would have improved so much in a matter of more than ten days. β
"As for appearance, I rely on the old man to say a word, don't you care. Master Blair thought about the wording and said to Ryan: "Magicians learn to make magical objects, first of all, to make effective finished products, and those modifications, so-called works of art, etc., can be temporarily abandoned. β
"Admittedly, a magic ornament with a gorgeous appearance is definitely more desirable than a work with a rough appearance, and it may be more expensive to auction, but you should know that these magic items are made for several purposes, one is convenient, and you don't have to keep maintaining a certain magic, such as lighting. The second is fast, no matter how fast the casting speed is, it can't compare to the use of magic items, especially some important protective magic, which can change the tide of battle in battle. Mayne's battle with you, if it weren't for the use of a few magic items, was basically defeated by you as soon as you made a move, what is it like?"
"Of course, there is also an important use to directly improve the overall strength of the user, just imagine that when two evenly matched characters are fighting, the one holding a magic weapon naturally has a huge advantage over the one holding an ordinary weapon. Master Blair explained to Lane, "So the true value of a magical item is whether it can help, not whether it is beautiful or not. Besides, you're just starting to learn, so don't put your mind on flashy appearances. β
"Of course, I'm not saying that every piece has to be ugly, in fact, when you become a master of making magical objects, you will naturally have a way to solve the problem of appearance, such as hiring a few talented artists to create the most suitable appearance based on the sketches of your design. β
"Ah, is that okay?" Ryan cried out in surprise with Flanna, and Blair laughed silently, but his suggestion immediately made Ryan understand something crucial. That's right, as long as you can make a good finished product as you like, then you can hand it over to a professional to design a gorgeous appearance after the finished product, and you can add the necessary modifications without affecting the overall magic effect, isn't this a brilliant work of art?
