176 Chapter 176
The defensive ability of the magic shield comes partly from the solidity of the shield itself, and partly from the protective magic attached to the shield, which can be restrained by both physical and magical attacks when combined. Magic weapons such as the Demon Breaker Arrow, which are specifically designed for magical protection, often fail to make a contribution when encountering a magic shield, and its advantages in this regard are not found in other magical items that are purely protected by magical power.
Especially in times of war, magic shields are obviously better than most other types of armor, so they are also in high demand, and the price is currently rising, which is the main reason why Moller chose to forge a high-grade magic shield.
The star shield he intends to cast, the blueprint comes from Sandra's Book, which is a small round shield placed on his left arm, because of the defensive area, the physical defense is weak, and the main protection is magic.
In fact, it is easier to forge a large shield that is half a human high, and it is much easier to enchant, but a large shield cannot be formed by enchantment alone, and it needs to be forged by a specialized forger to have a stronger structure.
In fact, most of the magical weapons and armor made of metal, such as swords, shields, and armor, are not something that an enchanter can do on his own—they cannot be forged by a forger who is familiar with the characteristics of metal.
Weapon casting itself is a very advanced science, the enchanter only uses the magic array and magic smelting to shape the weapon, it may be very standard, the cold light is both strong and sharp, on the surface it looks like there is no problem, but if you don't enchant, don't add magic, and directly fight with the same weapon forged by the forger, this weapon will be defeated immediately!
Therefore, when forging magic weapons, most enchanters will cooperate directly with the forge, and enchant on the basis of the forging, which can easily get better results.
However, the best magic weapons often come from some enchanters who focus on the casting of magic weapons, they know weapons like forgers, and they are proficient in the enchantment and forging of weapons, and can complete the casting of high-level magic weapons alone, showing the performance of their works more perfectly. For example, the big-nosed old man in Palmmore City, whom Moeller had worked with before, was a master in this area.
Moller hadn't learned much about blacksmithing, and he couldn't find a trustworthy blacksmith in Night City anytime soon, so he chose to forge a small round shield that didn't have to be blacksmithed.
Scraping off a layer of used white ground with magic, Moller re-carved a magic circle with a star shield, and by this time half of the night had passed, and Moller still had 16 hours to complete the enchantment, including the next 8 hours of day.
Three hours later, a circular magic circle appeared in the alchemy chamber, and in the middle of the ring was a triangle made of magic patterns.
Moller took out the casting materials and placed them on the three points where the triangle and the ring magic circle came into contact, and placed a dozen pieces of light blue metal in one place, which were stacked like fish scales in layers, so it was called scale iron.
It is a fragile magical metal that is not very malleable, and is not originally suitable for forging, but with some special enchantments, it can be turned into an extremely strong protective material.
In the second place, there is a clay pot containing a liquid that has a slight chill, called frozen bone water. It is the fruit extract of a water-mutated ice-type magic plant, and it is it that makes the Scaly Iron extremely strong.
The third place is the star soil left over from the previous production of the zuò magic crystal, which can greatly improve the affinity between magic materials and the magic power of the stars, and is also a medium to promote the fusion of metal materials.
The Star Power Alchemy Room is still connecting the magic power of the stars in the sky, and Mo Le controls the magic array in the alchemy room itself, gathering the star power to the location of the frozen bone water and the star soil, using the star magic power to nourish them, and then releases the little golden pig that is attached to the left and right palms, so that it ignites the scale iron.
The flame produced by the burning of the iron is interesting, a green flame that constantly makes a popping sound, and the flames are like bubbles that are constantly extinguished, and it sounds like many people are farting together.
The little golden pig has a great appetite for the flames produced by the burning of any magic metal, and will not be unable to swallow because of the indecent sound it makes, it flies above the flames, takes a deep breath, and then squints its eyes like an old smoking gun and enjoys it.
The burning scale iron gradually showed signs of melting, and Mo Ler withdrew the little golden pig that had absorbed the flames into the magic pattern in his palm, and hundreds of golden-red yuan force filaments appeared out of thin air above his head, and the magic strings in his body vibrate, and a magic lightning smelting array formed in the blink of an eye.
A series of magic lightning hit the burning scale iron, the green bubble flame was beaten into a green firework, and the iron filings flew everywhere, but because of the constraints of the magic array, all explosions were limited to a certain range, and the flying iron filings would soon be dragged back to the center of the array by the power of the magic array.
The striking of the magic lightning can generate a huge amount of heat energy, and for the Scaly Iron that is constantly hit, this heat energy is generated from the inside out, and it is the most conducive to the dissolution of the material. Even though the melting point of the Scaly Iron was already high among magical metals, after being continuously bombarded for two minutes, it completely dissolved into a cloud of sky-blue liquid metal.
Moller manipulated the magic array, and the liquid metal ball began to rotate rapidly, and at the same time, at the other apex of the triangle formed by the magic pattern, the starlight shrouded in the starlight began to rise a cloud of light dust, along the edge of the triangle, straight towards the dissolved scale iron.
The stars and dirt that turned into light dust fell on the liquid metal that rotated at high speed, like snow flakes falling in boiling water, quickly melting away.
Moeller observed the state of the liquid metal attentively, although the star soil is suitable for blending into other magic metals, enhancing its affinity with the magic of the stars, but this integration also has a limit, once the excess is easy to cause the magic metal itself to be distorted, so that the enchantment will end in failure.
However, this waiting process was longer than Moeller expected, and it seemed that the fusion of Accumulated Scale Iron and Star Earth was very good, and the upper limit of fusion was not reached for a long time. So as he waited, Moller couldn't help but start thinking about something else.
Of course, this is not desertion, he is still concentrating on the enchantment, but he is also thinking about this enchantment.
Originally, according to Moller's plan, he wanted to wait for the fusion of stars and earth to reach saturation, use the Yuan Force of the Finger Arm to shape it, and then use frozen bone water to change the properties of the Scaly Iron to make it extremely strong, and then he only needed to use the magic of the stars to enchant it to complete the production of zuò.
However, at this time, Moller couldn't help but think of some mechanical structures that were known for their stability, and imagined the possibility of applying them to the casting of magic shields.
Speaking of mechanical structure, Moller quickly thought of the very famous Bird's Nest Water Cube in his previous life, the stability of the triangular structure and the tension of the "membrane", so that the load-bearing and compressive resistance of the whole building have reached a very exaggerated Cheng dù, such a successful high-tech building, can its principles and inspiration be applied to its current enchantment?
The more Mo Ler couldn't help but think about it, the more he thought about it, and soon his eyes lit up, and he remembered a special magic material of the Sea Clan that he had bought in Balombaton City, which was very suitable for making "membranes"!
Having found the right material, a complete solution was instantly formed in the mind of the experienced Moller, and he couldn't help but be very tempted to try this very novel solution.
It is taboo for the enchanter to temporarily change the established plan during alchemy, because enchantment is an organic process of overall linkage, which often affects the whole body, and changing any detail may lead to unexpected consequences, not only the probability of failure of enchantment is high, but also sometimes very dangerous.
However, as time passed, the idea had taken root in Moller's mind and became more and more intense. Because if this plan is successful, it will definitely reinvent this star shield and show many very good possibilities, which is undoubtedly a great temptation for Moller, who has always been obsessed with enchantment research.
After thinking about it, Moller finally gritted his teeth and decided to make a bold attempt - how could the enchanter achieve a wonderful breakthrough and obtain the magical truth hidden in matter and law if he did not dare to try and verify it carefully?
Not long after making up his mind, Moeller suddenly appeared that the speed of the light dust of the stars and earth fused into the liquid metal slowed down, although it was only a little slower, but it was still a strong spiritual power of Moeller immediately appeared, which indicated that the upper limit of fusion had been reached, and at this moment, Moeller released more yuan power than when he had just built the magic lightning smelting array, and surrounded the entire liquid metal.
The splendid magic of magic bloomed in the alchemy room where Moller was alone, just in the blink of an eye, the liquid metal was delicately shaped by Moller's Yuan Force, like a flower in full bloom and a sparrow tail that suddenly opened - a round shield with a diameter of two feet and a slightly convex spherical arc appeared, the interior was hollowed, and the liquid metal was solidified into metal wires, forming a cube like a beehive, rigorous and integrated geometric structure, with a stunning beauty.
It was a very exciting thing to witness the realization of his idea, at this moment Moeller's spirit was very excited, and his energy was also concentrated to the extreme, even the weakness of the excessive consumption of Yuan Force could not distract his attention, after successfully shaping the round shield, he immediately manipulated the magic array to let the frozen bone water at the other end of the triangle quickly pounce, soaking the entire shield in an instant.
The hollow mesh structure allows frozen bone water to perfectly soak the inside of the round shield, and the qualitative transformation of the iron is completed in a few seconds, and the liquid metal is completely solidified, and the original light blue color deepens and becomes a thick dark blue.
Moeller put the prototype of this shield into the detection magic array in the alchemy room, and after some testing, he was surprised by the results - the shield's sturdiness and ability to resist blows and other parameters had already exceeded the range of the 7th order!
Moeller was shocked and pleasantly surprised, he felt that he had really dug up a treasure, and when the "film" was finished, the quality of this shield would definitely improve again, which made him look forward to the final result of this enchantment......
