Hamfest took Ryan and his group of 3 people around the leafy magic guild, and after walking for about 10 minutes, they came to a spacious place, where there were about 5 or 6 circular buildings, each building was about 100 meters apart, and there were many magic arrays isolated from each other, and the Dimest officer had been waiting outside the hall of the No. 1 crafting workshop for a long time, and when he saw Hamflast and them coming, Dimest hurriedly greeted them and led them into the No. 1 crafting workshop.

As the headquarters of the Magic Guild, a workshop like this for making magic items is naturally indispensable, like the workshop chosen by Hamfest is the top workshop in the entire Imperial Capital Magic Guild, which can not only provide all kinds of normal magic materials for free, but even has more than a dozen large-scale crafting instruments, such as the octagonal-shaped super large magic furnace placed in an inconspicuous corner, Ryan learned from the book that Blair gave him, using such a furnace to smelt magic materials, ordinary people can't afford to use it, because the value of the fuel it needs when it is used is almost equal to Mithril。

"Well, the tools here are quite complete, right?" said Hamfest with a little bit of ostentation, "As far as I know, there is no third workshop of this grade in the entire continent except Mochizuki City. Although it is said that the elves have similar ones, almost no one has seen them with their own eyes, and no human has personally entered and used them, so they are ignored. ”

"It's really good!" Ryan said sincerely, "I once went to a very famous chamber of commerce in the south that makes and sells magical items, where a large number of magical items are produced every day, but they are almost all designed and made by magicians alone, and they are nothing more than small tools, and it seems that no one uses this kind of furnace at all!"

After saying this, Ryan pointed to the furnace he had just seen in the corner, and Hamfest didn't need to look to see it to understand what Ryan was referring to, and he laughed and said, "Actually, we only have one here, and that thing is used to smelt some rare treasures, and it may not be used once in a few years." ”

"Yes, to drive it, the energy consumed is too much, and the gains outweigh the losses. Ryan nodded as well.

"Well, that's the truth. "We usually use these tools here, for example, if we want to smelt some metal ore, we use this small magic furnace, which uses the power of our magicians' magic, as long as a few magicians take turns to relay, there is really nothing that it can't dissolve, but it will take a little more time." ”

Ryan followed Hamfest's finger and saw a furnace similar to the anvil used by ordinary blacksmiths, except that near this furnace, there was an extra stand, and on it was a large crystal ball, which seemed to be mostly used to receive magical power.

"It's easy to use, you throw the ore on top of the anvil, and then put your hand on the crystal ball to activate the furnace, so that the ore can be melted slowly, and you can command the craftsmen to forge it for you with a hammer as you want. Hamfest explained, "If you want to add magic, there's a crafting table over there, and your Mithril quota for this month is already there. ”

Ryan nodded, he had already seen the ten Mithril ingots on the crafting table next to him, the Mithril ingots were not very large, and Ryan could hold them all in the palm of his hand with one hand. Hamfest spoke again: "This is just the amount you need to smelt magic items, and as for you to draw magic circles and magic scrolls, the Mithril powder used is an additional quota." Oh, by the way, you still have a monthly subsidy of 100,000 gold coins, you can entrust the Magic Guild to help you buy or collect materials, or you can take them all for your own use, and the Magic Guild doesn't ask where the gold coins go. ”

"It sounds like a very tempting position," Ryan said with a smile, "I don't have to do anything, I collect 100,000 gold coins a month, and a lot of valuable materials, hehe, I knew that with such a generous treatment, I didn't have to run around for a few gold coins." ”

"Haha! You're really good at laughing. Hamfest also laughed a few times, and then said solemnly: "If you use these gold coins to enjoy, I estimate that even a viscount with a large fief may not be as comfortable as you, but if a magician spends his mind on the study of magic, the consumption is a terrible number, a magic experiment is likely to cost tens of thousands of gold coins, and the gold coins of the materials alone may not be enough to make a magic item, and you will have to borrow money like a guild, and then use the quota in the future to pay it back slowly." ”

"Yes, studying magic is in some way the equivalent of burning gold coins, and there is nothing to do without a certain amount of financial resources. Ryan also said: "So almost all magicians will choose to join a certain force, because with his personal strength alone, I am afraid that it will not be able to support it at all." I remember Victor once said that he would cost millions of dollars to make a magic scroll for the Space-Time Gate alone, not counting his own thoughts. ”

"Well, let's not talk about that. Barbara, go, put that piece of steel ore on the anvil. Ryan turned the subject back to watching Barbara carefully arrange the ore, and then when Barbara walked away, he put his hand on the crystal ball.

After receiving the colorless and transparent crystal ball from the continuous transmission of magic from Ryan's palm, it immediately emitted a red light flame, and the anvil where the steel ore was placed slowly began to redden, and a heat gushed out from there, spreading in all directions, Vivian, who was standing next to her, only felt the heat rushing to her face, and hurriedly pulled Barbara back more than a dozen steps, until she didn't feel the heat before standing down.

The magic furnace that absorbed Ryan's mana quickly reached the specified temperature, and the stainless steel ore placed on the anvil had begun to slowly soften, and the original black ore actually glowed with a red halo, and it was obvious that it was about to melt away. Ryan knew that the so-called steel ore was also called pure gold after it had been smelted, which in itself was just two different names for a metal, the former describing how hard the metal was, and the latter figuratively describing its preciousness as gold.

Hamfest saw that Ryan went all out as soon as he came up, and it only took a few minutes to make the ore soft, and he had the heart to remind Ryan a few words, after all, smelting ore is a long-term thing, even if it takes a few hours, it is normal, he doesn't want Ryan to lose the entire production because of too much consumption at the beginning, so that even the face of the Imperial Capital Magic Guild will be lost.

Unexpectedly, Hamfest hadn't opened his mouth yet, and he actually heard Ryan's voice speaking: "Barbara, such a little ore can only be made into a dagger, you first decide what style you like, and I will guide you to make the finished product later." Well, Vivien, please go get a piece of Mithril, wait and see how much Adamantite Gold is smelted, and then add Mithril to it at a ratio of 1:1. ”

"Okay. Vivien agreed, turning to get Mithril while Barbara crouched down and drew on the ground, her heart filled with longing for her first magic weapon. And Hamfest firmly closed his mouth, and actually dared to speak at this time, and seeing that Ryan's expression was quite relaxed, this shows that he has enough power to deal with it, so why should he talk too much?

After another ten minutes, the high temperature of the entire furnace has been completely dissipated, half of the workshop hall is filled with hot gas, and the steel ore on the anvil has almost melted into a pool of liquid, and as the impurities in the ore are dissolved by the high temperature, the color of the entire steel has slowly begun to gray, which is the true color of the steel.

"Well, throw a piece into it, I think it's a bit small, so I'll have to use Mithril to make up the number. Ryan's words to Vivien almost made Hamfest cry, although this Mithril is free, it can't be used to make up the number, can it? If the value is strictly discussed, that steel ore is not as good as Mithril even if it is ten pieces. This is not because the value of steel itself is inferior to that of Mithril, but because steel must be made into a finished product to be truly worth doubled, and Mithril can be used in various places as long as it is smelted, and the use value of the two cannot be compared at all.

Vivien didn't care how ugly Hamfest's face was at the moment, she liked Barbara very much in her heart, and naturally hoped that her magic weapon could be as powerful as possible, so after listening to Ryan's words, Vivien threw a whole Mithril ingot into it without hesitation.

The Mithril ingot almost cared about the speed of melting visible to the naked eye, and soon the white Mithril melted into liquid, it slowly mixed with the gray steel, which looked very ugly, Ryan did not hesitate to supply the magic energy in his body to this magic furnace, he manipulated the magic furnace to fuse the two different metals of Mithril and steel repeatedly, until the color of all the liquid turned into a bright gray-white, then he said to Barbara: "Almost, do you have a good style?" Come here, and I'll guide you through the dagger!"

Barbara's heart was very conflicted at this time, because she had two different ideas in her head, but she herself didn't know which one to choose, so a hesitant look suddenly appeared on her face. Vivien had gone through this stage, and of course she understood Barbara's feelings, so she pushed Barbara hard behind her back and whispered, "It doesn't matter if the style is styled, the key is to use it conveniently, why don't you hurry over?"

Barbara was reminded by Vivien, and immediately made up her mind, she quickly came to Ryan's side, and pressed her hands on the crystal ball according to Ryan's request, and Ryan pressed her right hand on Barbara's hands, using it to guide her mind to control this magic furnace, just like Ryan had channeled the magical energy in Barbara's body so that she could learn how to use it.

The puddle of liquid on the anvil slowly condensed, forming a rough dagger shape, gradually, the temperature on the anvil began to cool, and the red light on the dagger's rough body slowly dimmed, and after a while, when the entire magic furnace completely stopped working, a strangely shaped dagger appeared in front of everyone.
