Chapter 613: Distillation, Dragon Slaying Weapons

After a few words with Layton, Xia Duo returned to the Tower of Time overnight, contacted Cecily to get a bunch of glass bottles and cans from the supplies, and then found a random workshop on the public floor and started to get busy.

The first thing he made was a distillation device, which was not available in the Tower of Time, and although the Tower of Time also produced a small amount of magic potions, the magic potion was more of a liquid magic item than a "medicine".

The maker does not need to know pharmacological knowledge at all, nor does he need to make many complicated production tools, Xia Duo can only choose to make it himself, but fortunately, as long as there is ready-made glass, it is not difficult to make.

In other words, compared to the complex structure and precision requirements of the Mithril components, this kind of distillation decoration that does not require any high-precision and complex structure can be described as very simple.

In a short time, Xia Duo had made a large distillation flask, and a long condenser tube.

Then he took out a bucket of low-alcohol ale from his personal space as a storage for clear water, scooped some with a distillation bottle, and then connected the condenser tube and placed it directly on the alchemy circle.

Although Xia Duo did not know the boiling point of alcohol and water in this world, there would always be a difference, and at most it was water that came out of the condenser pipe.

The temperature in the distillation flask gradually increased, and some mist gradually appeared above the bottle, Xia Duo stopped heating up in time, and it was not long before the first drop of liquid finally flowed from the other end of the condenser tube.

You don't even need to actually taste it, the pungent smell says it all.

Roughly grasping the distillation temperature, Xia Duo set up the container, went to the other end of the experimental table, found a chair to sit down, and began to design a dragon slaying weapon.

Of course, he didn't get the wine for himself, and Shado didn't like the taste of alcohol, and he hated the feeling that his consciousness was no longer in control, and he only did it to ask Broto, the dwarf of the Savile Territory, to help him build a weapon.

Although the Tower of Time has ready-made pure gold, which can be processed into any shape through the alchemy circle, there are differences between the appearance and the actual use, such as internal stress, toughness, and rigidity.

There was a master blacksmith who helped hammer a few times, not to mention anything else, even psychologically, it was better.

In addition, the direct use of pure pure gold is not necessarily the best choice, there are alloys on the earth, and there may not be no stronger pure gold alloys here.

……

If you want to slay a dragon, the most ideal weapon is, of course, a bow and arrow, which can damage the target without contact, but in practice, this is not the case.

Xia Duo had seen the illusion of the green dragon during the snowmelt competition, such a huge body, and it was also covered with scales, how could it be killed with just a few arrows?

Unless it's a magic arrow with special lethality.

If you want to kill a dragon with an ordinary weapon, not to mention impossible, at least you must have the ability to break the dragon scales, "sharpness" is the first element, theoretically as long as it is sharp enough, maybe a string is enough to slay the dragon.

Of course, it is unlikely that such a weapon will be made in reality, so it is also necessary to consider "sturdy", after all, no matter how the dragon scales are broken, it is essentially the mutual impact of the two materials.

If it is not strong enough, "sharp" will have no basis for existence.

Xia Duo does not expect to be able to kill in one hit, so the weapon must be considered to be able to be used multiple times, in addition, the size of the weapon is also very important, after all, this time the imaginary enemy is a dragon, so it is not enough to take a dagger to slay the dragon!

Of course, when designing weapons, Xia Duo didn't need to think too many factors, even if it was just a fantasy, it was the forger who was difficult, not himself.

Xia Duo designed a total of three weapons, a javelin, which is actually an enlarged version of the arrow (head), and a machete, which may be used if you have to use this to try it if you have to fight in close combat.

The first two are basically very conventional, even if the style of the machete is different from the mainstream melee weapons of Nessreel, but it is still a melee weapon.

What he really fancied was the last weapon - the shuttle, of course, it could be called a "flying sword".

Xia Duo once used [Flying Technique] to control the [Veto Blade] to attack in the projection plane, although there were various drawbacks, such as not being fast enough, not flexible enough, and greatly reducing the control time after impact.

But it is undeniable that this can be considered almost the cheapest "magic weapon".

In Xia Duo's mind, it can almost be compared to the electromagnetic gun, but unfortunately, in this world, "electricity" is not the movement of electrons, but the embodiment of elements, and of course, it is impossible to generate "magnetism".

"Magnetism" is also another element that can be transformed into "electricity", but it is by no means just relying on a metal coil, and how to transform it, Xia Duo has not yet figured it out.

"Green Sword Fairy"

In this magical world, the physical manifestations of all kinds of matter on a macroscopic basis are very similar to those on earth, but when it comes to the essence of matter, it is completely different.

One of the most obvious examples is [Flight], which is similar to anti-gravity, which is no different from manipulating time and space on Earth, requiring a lot of energy, but in this world, it is just a 3-ring spell.

If you just want to simply levitate, even a 0 ring [Mage's Hand] can do it.

Obviously, the space, space, and matter of these two worlds are fundamentally different, even if some physical phenomena are so similar.

If you want to make an electromagnetic cannon in the wizarding world, you can theoretically do it, but it can only be said to be a ["magnetic" catapult weapon], which has nothing to do with electricity. In terms of the difficulty of achieving, it is actually far less easy than the [Imperial Sword Technique] pointed to by the [Flying Technique] series of variation spells.

……

The first two weapons, Xia Duo just drew a sketch casually, after all, he is not a professional cold weapon designer, and when the time comes, it will be enough to let Broto perfect it a little, and the spirits (alcohol?) that he distilled himself and almost non-existent on the market (alcohol?). It's not that easy to drink.

However, the shuttle needs to be carefully designed, mainly to integrate the [Sky Breaking Circle] into the shuttle, this magical technology derived from the ancient elven magic arrow, can construct a miniature vacuum environment around the arrow body. (Chapter 242)

This is also the main reason why that kind of magic arrow is silent, as for the extreme speed, there is another magic circle blessing, Xia Duo has not yet analyzed it.

However, he had already researched a special [Imperial Sword Technique], and in terms of extreme speed, he believed that this spell would not lag behind.

……

Time passed little by little, and a pungent smell of alcohol filled the workshop, and Xia Duo added some raw liquor to the distillation bottle from time to time, and then returned to the other end of the laboratory table to continue designing the shuttle weapon.

The design of magic weapons is far more complex than the design of normal magic items, and the most troublesome of them is that the Mithril component of the magic weapon must be designed on the surface of the weapon.

Wait until the weapon is crafted to add to it, instead of prioritizing the Mithril component like normal magic items, the form is only attached.

The shape of the magic weapon is the main thing.

Fortunately, Xia Duo was not without the slightest preparation before, he had been designing his flying sword for a long time, but he had not been able to parse the spells related to [Extreme Speed] from the magic arrow, and he had no special need for flying swords before, so the design had long been stagnant.

Now it's just a matter of regaining the previous progress, and it's a familiar road.
