The four mercenaries and Joanna, dressed in black robes, came to the restaurant on the first floor. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Albert, who was hiding outside the door, pointed at Joanna, then pulled a strand of red hair and handed it to Jon beside him. "Be careful. He whispered to Jon. When his wallet was stolen, Albert thought of asking the agile Jon to help him deliver the news. While this doesn't help save Joanna, it at least makes Joanna less scared.

Jon rushed to the five like a dexterous monkey, grabbed Joanna's legs, and said pitifully, "Please give me some money, I haven't eaten all day." ”

"Get out of here!" the sword-wielding mercenary raised his leg to kick, but was stopped by the female mercenary.

"Why are you holding me?!" the sword-wielding mercenary roared.

"Shut your foul mouth. The mercenary looked mockingly at the sword-wielding mercenary, took three copper coins from her purse, and handed them to Jon. "Take it. She smiled good-naturedly.

"Thank you, kind lady. Jon took the copper coin, glanced at the sword-wielding mercenary, and ran away without looking back.

"Is it necessary to kill someone if three copper coins can solve the problem?" the mercenary shook her head.

"I just want to teach that kid a lesson. The sword-wielding mercenary retorted.

"You idiot, I want to kill you. The scar man gritted his teeth and said, "That's just a child, your strength will kill him on the spot!"

"Boss, I ......" The sword-wielding mercenary tried to explain something, but was speechless.

"Three people can also do this task. Scar Man said in a deep voice, "If you're still so stupid." ”

"I... I know. The sword-wielding mercenary swallowed, trying to suppress the fear in his heart.

While several mercenaries were arguing, Joanna's eyes were red and her nose was a little sour. She clutched her red hair tightly, as if trying to hold on to something. At the same time, the fear and despair in her heart were crumbling. "Iber. Joanna cried out in her heart, and the ordinary face appeared in front of her eyes, and her vision blurred by tears gradually became clear. In this moment, the name gave her strength and hope.

Albert stood in the doorway, unable to see through the black robe, but could feel Joanna's change, and her slightly bent back gradually straightened. He smiled, took ten gold coins out of his wallet, and handed them to Jon.

"Didn't you say five gold coins?" Jon was a little strange, but not slow at all. He looked around warily and slipped the gold coins into his trouser pocket.

"Take your mom to the doctor. Albert said, "Don't steal again." ”

Jon nodded, but couldn't say a word. He bowed his head and walked away, but stopped after taking a few steps. "Can you take me and my mom away? I'm willing to do anything. "He's serious this time.

Albert was silent, staring at the watery eyes. After a while, he smiled and nodded.

"Wait until I'm out of all the troubles. Albert agreed.

It was completely dark.

The four mercenaries went upstairs after dinner with Joanna, and after a while, Albert, who was watching in the shadows, also returned to the room to continue his enchantment business.

"Sections 1 to 3 use starry sand, sections 3 to 9 use opal powder, .....," Albert muttered to himself.

As he spoke, he swung his magic pen, dipped it in liquefied silver and magical materials, and quickly applied it to the magic pattern. The process is deceptively simple and seems to be fine as long as the material is correct. But in fact, the enchantment material must be completely filled with the pattern without spilling out the slightest. Not only that, but enchantment also requires coherence, and the slightest pause can be undone.

The Devil's Pattern can be divided into many subsections, with 50-75 subsections for the beginner Pattern, 76-150 subsections for the Intermediate level, and 151-300 subsections for the Advanced Pattern.

Albert's engraved patterns are all rudimentary, and they are fairly easy to enchant. Of course, this is also compared to the intermediate and advanced magic patterns. For a novice enchanter, the primary Pattern is almost impossible to complete. Normally, novice enchanters with no enchantment experience will enchant some ineffective but very simple apprentice-level magic patterns to increase their proficiency.

But now that Joanna is in danger, Albert has no time to practice at all, so he can only leave everything to Lady Luck.

After each section of Albert's enchantment, the enchanted pattern would glow with a faint glow. But he didn't have the heart to appreciate this beautiful and magical scene, and devoted himself to the enchantment.

His hands trembled slightly, sweat drenching the hem of his shirt. The sweat on his forehead flowed into his eyes, but Albert didn't have time to wipe it, not even daring to blink. Before he knew it, he was getting better and better, and he was in a wonderful state. At this moment, everything in the world seemed to disappear, and the only ones who existed were him and the magic pattern. As time passed, Albert's enchantment rate increased, and the number of places where the glow was lit up increased.

If the other enchanters were here, they would have exclaimed.

Albert's current enchantment proficiency and enchantment accuracy are even comparable to those of a junior enchanter, and it is hard to imagine that a rookie who enchants for the first time can reach the level of a regular enchanter.

That's when the unexpected happened.

Summer is the season of insects, and the oil lamps in the room are covered with insects. And the ghostly light emitted by the magic pattern attracted a few insects that had not grabbed a favorable position. Just as the enchantment was about to be completed, a moth could no longer resist the primordial temptation and rushed into the ghostly light and landed on top of the magic pattern. The moth fluttered happily in the glow, its wings flapping, blowing the enchantment aside like a fan, and a small piece of magic was exposed. Immediately afterward, the ghostly light disappeared one after another like toppled minosumes.

Having fallen short, Albert was so furious that he almost roared at the dim bronze ring.

He grabbed the mischievous moth and thought in his mind about the torture that would torment the perpetrator, and then Albert relented and released the moth.

The purpose of the moth's life is to put out the fire, which is short and pathetic, which in itself is an irresistible punishment, and there is no need to embarrass this little guy again. And if the enchantment fails, he also has a certain responsibility.

Having learned his lesson, Albert lit dozens of candles at his side so that the light could overshadow the glow and attract the attention of insects.

When he calmed down, Albert began to perform a second enchantment. After one experience, it can be said that he is familiar with the road, and the speed of Albert's enchantment has increased significantly. However, the misfortune is not alone, perhaps it is too much of a rush, or perhaps the goddess of luck is no longer favored. Albert failed twice more in quick succession, and as a result, the first time was the same as the raw materials.

Looking at the three failures, Albert wanted to cry without tears, and his emotions fell to the bottom.

Instead of continuing the enchantment, he closed his eyes and meditated for a moment, only to open his eyes when his mood was completely calm. There was only one last Ring left, and he had to succeed. Albert took a deep breath and lowered his head back on the workbench, calmly smearing the enchantment material.

Everything went in an orderly manner, but alas, that wonderful mood never appeared again.

After an hour of busyness, the last section of the magic pattern was finally enchanted. At the same time, the glow converged, and the magic patterns and enchanted materials disappeared abruptly.

"Finally it worked. Albert muttered, looking at the unpretentious bronze ring. No, it should be called the Elementary Flame Ring now, with excitement in his eyes. The moment the enchantment is completed, the magic pattern and the enchanted material will disappear together, but this is not really disappearing, but is integrated into the equipment, so it is impossible to distinguish between normal equipment and enchanted equipment based on appearance alone.

The amplification of primary enchanted equipment is between 6% and 10%, and the same enchantment effect cannot be stacked, no matter how many same enchanted equipment is worn, only one of them will be effective.

A flame ignited in Albert's fingertips, and the temperature of the flame increased by almost eight percent.

He smiled, and although it didn't reach the full 10%, it wasn't a bad result. After all, the materials he used weren't the best, and his enchantment techniques weren't at their peak. If in the Enchantment Shop, the ring can be sold for more than 150 gold. Excluding the cost of wear and tear, the profit is enough to make 10 gold coins, which can be called a windfall profit, but Albert never thought of making a living from it. Enchantments do make money, but they are too draining, and Albert prefers to spend his time on improving his strength rather than gold.

Albert rested his cheek in one hand and played with the magic pen in the other. He stared at his first work, somewhat smug in his heart.

At this moment, the accident happened again.

The sharp tip of the magic pen cut a wide opening in Albert's palm. Hot blood dripped down, staining some of the enchanted materials red. "Damn!" he cursed, and quickly wiped it off. But in his panic, Albert knocked over the box containing the Mithril and Ruby Rings.

Mithril and the Ring rolled out, dyed red as they passed through the dragon's blood. Immediately after, the ring and the mythril suddenly burst into a dazzling red and silver light. At the same time, the red and silver light began to merge, turning orange-red.

The light dissipated, and Albert picked up Mithril and the ring, his eyes full of curiosity.
