"Your Majesty, Master Boudreau asks to see you."

Hearing this, Xia Qi's face suddenly froze.

He was going to have a big meal and then a good night's sleep.

I didn't see my heart, but when the words came to my mouth, it changed.

"Let him wait in the side hall first."

As the top elven craftsman, Budro's status in Great Xia is not low.

At the same time, this guy is busy studying and improving his skills on weekdays, and he can't find anyone if he wants to find him, but this time he actually took the initiative to come to see him, and it seems that something is wrong.

After grinding in the hall for a while, Xia Qi also walked to the side hall with some reluctance.

"Boudreau, see Your Majesty!"

"No courtesy. Say, what's the matter?"

Regarding His Majesty's reaction, Budero was also surprised for a long time, and directly presented the things he brought over this time to Xia Qi's eyes.

It's a knife.

Xia Qi picked up the knife, and after holding the handle, with a little force, with a soft sound, the blade appeared in front of Xia Qi's eyes.

Xia Qi's eyes lit up suddenly, and then he exclaimed, "Good knife!"

The blade of this knife is three fingers wide, and at the same time, its north is dark gray, and the blade is fiery red.

The knife pattern on the blade is like a flame against the backdrop of the fiery red color, and you can feel a burning sensation just by looking at it.

And the fire crystal embedded at the end of the handle of the knife shows its identity, it is a magic weapon.

"Master Boudreau, what is this knife?"

"Back to Your Majesty, this war knife was forged by me from the latest elemental alloy I sent."

"Oh, that's it!"

Xia Qi, who heard this, also reacted, when this element alloy was sent, Xia Qi was on his way to the port of the South China Sea to participate in the departure ceremony.

Therefore, at that time, he directly asked Zhang Liang and them to directly throw those elemental alloys to Budro for study.

Later, after participating in the expedition ceremony, he ran to the Dark Elf Administrative District, and after a long time, he forgot about it.

After all, Xia Qi has been doing too much all day long.

There are some things that are not important and you just turn around and forget them.

After realizing that this crimson war knife was forged from elemental alloy, Xia Qi also felt a little interested in it.

Subconsciously waved it, and the blade suddenly cut through the air, bringing a sound of splitting wind.

"Master Boudreau, you better hurry up and say it directly, the war knife that can make you run this trip in person should not be an ordinary spell weapon."

Hearing this, Budro smiled proudly, and then said, "Your Majesty will know if you try it."

Subsequently, everyone moved directly to the martial arts arena of the palace.

Xia Qi, who was holding the crimson war knife in his hand, swung the knife at the moment, and the fire magic crystal at the end of the handle began to emit a dazzling red light.

With that fire-based magic crystal as the core, a series of mysterious spells suddenly appeared, extending along the hilt to the entire blade.

At the moment when the spell on the knife was triggered, dark red flames suddenly erupted, enveloping the entire blade.

At this moment, even Xia Qi's face changed directly.

Before he could think about it, the blazing sword had already been slashed out.

The extremely aggressive knife momentum quickly swept by, and the few wooden stakes used for martial arts training in front of Xia Qi's eyes at that time were directly cut into ashes by his knife!

The temperature is so high, you can imagine it!

"What's going on...... Possibly?!"

As we all know, spell weapons, magic cores, and magic crystals can actually be used as their energy sources, but the elemental power in the magic core is of higher quality than in the magic crystal.

Therefore, spell weapons of the same level, inlaid with magic cores, are generally better than those inlaid with magic crystals.

At the same time, more importantly, with magic crystals, you can basically only forge first-order spell weapons, and you can't reach the second-order and third-order levels at all.

The effect of a first-order fire spell weapon is mainly reflected in increasing the temperature of the blade in a very short period of time through the power of the fire element.

With this high-temperature slash, it causes terrifying destructive power, and even some heavy metal plates can be cut off with a single blow!

But at this time, what happened to this spell weapon was not as simple as raising the temperature of the blade.

The effect caused at that time, among all the spell weapons in Great Xia, there was one similar to it, and that was Adams's Flame Greatsword!

That flaming greatsword is a relic of the previous steppe elf king, and it is a spell weapon inlaid with a third-order magic core!

Of course, to say that this battle knife inlaid with magic crystals has reached the level of a third-order spell weapon, it must be fake.

But according to Xia Qi's judgment, this knife also has a second order.

I can only say that this is really incredible.

Then, as if he realized something, Xia Qi immediately put the knife into the sheath, and then asked Budrou, "Is this because of those elemental alloys?"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

At this time, Budero's face was full of excitement that could not be concealed.

"Tell me more about it."

Elemental alloys are new names made for the convenience of the natives after receiving the new metal from the indigenous dwarves.

If you are more detailed, you can also divide it into fire element alloy, earth element alloy and so on according to different attributes.

At this time, the war knife in Xia Qi's hand used the fire element alloy, but it was more than that.

"Back to Your Majesty, the material for forging this sword is not only the fire element alloy, but also the bluestone powder."

Qingyan powder is like a kind of smelting metal panacea, no matter what alloy it is, it will always be missing in it.

After thinking about it, Xia Qi then asked, "Then, is this elemental alloy itself considered a spell material?"

This question is a bit complicated, and it took a while for Boudreau to just sort out his thoughts.

"Back to Your Majesty, Elemental Alloy can indeed be counted as a spell material, but it is not all."

Hearing this, Xia Qi was also suddenly interested in his heart, and raised his hand to signal Budero to continue.

"According to my personal understanding, this elemental alloy should be tempered to make the elemental power in the magic crystal ore into the ordinary metal material, so that the characteristics of the ordinary metal material have changed."

"To put it simply, a pure elemental alloy is a low-quality consumable, it's like a magic crystal that has changed its shape, and some of the elemental power should still be lost in the process of smelting. Therefore, the elements in this elemental alloy are not as good as a magic crystal."

As he spoke, Boudreau took out another thing he had brought with him this time, an old-fashioned flintlock pistol.

In Great Xia, it is estimated that it will not be found.

After all, flintlock pistols were eliminated long ago.

Boudreau took the flintlock pistol and spoke again, "Your Majesty, please see, the barrel of this flintlock pistol was forged by those dwarves from the alloy of the fire element."

Hearing this, Xia Qi subconsciously fell his gaze on the barrel of the flintlock pistol, and sure enough, if you look carefully, you can still see it.

The barrel of the flintlock pistol had a dark red tinge, but it was very light.

It seemed that he saw what Xia Qi was thinking, and only heard Budero speak: "Presumably Your Majesty has also discovered that although the barrel of this flintlock pistol is also made of fire element alloy, it is very light in color, which is far from this war knife I forged."

"In fact, this flintlock pistol can only be regarded as a half-spell weapon, because the fire element alloy with the barrel is rich in fire elemental power, so when the bullet is fired, it will carry a little blessing of fire elemental power, so that it will become stronger. But that is

In this way, the power of this flintlock pistol is only about a quarter of that of my Great Xia rifle."

"Moreover, the minister has also used it to forge a spell weapon alone, and the actual effect is that it is not even half the effect of a first-order weapon."

Speaking of this, Boudreau couldn't help but pout.

In his opinion, the use of elemental alloys by the indigenous dwarves was a complete waste of materials.

"And the reason why the color of the barrel is so pale is because every time the gun is fired, it consumes the elemental power attached to this fire element alloy, which the minister has already conducted a definite test. When this flintlock pistol was first delivered, it wasn't that pale in color."

Hearing this, Xia Qi's random shooting also changed with the change, and at the same time, he finally knew why Budero said that this elemental alloy was a low-quality consumable.
