Chapter 17: The Crystal Block: I seem to have gotten weird
The days of laziness always fly by, and the time of just one month passes quickly.
After a leisurely life of exercising during the day, resting in Mondstadt Square in the afternoon, and drinking fake wine in the tavern at night, the guests became aware of the strange boy who came to the tavern every night for a drink.
And Feng Wuwu also knew that the older adventurer at the other table last time was actually Cyrus, the branch president of the Adventurers' Association. Although he was a little offended, he really didn't recognize it, firstly, his attention was on Six-Fingered Joseph, and on the other hand, the branch leader really had a public face.
For a month, the non-serious Barbatos never appeared, and he was not in a hurry, and after the rest, he continued to devote his energy to the great cause of 'feeding the demons', and this effort was not in vain.
On the evening of the tenth day, Wind Carefree continued to throw flames into the crystal block as usual. After consuming nearly half of the flames, he suddenly noticed that another color had appeared inside the original cyan crystal block.
This color is very familiar with the wind and is the orange color that represents the big sky.
What started as a dot quickly spread like a spider's web in all directions, and in just a few seconds, nearly half of the original cyan crystal block was occupied by orange lines.
The abrupt change made Feng Wuwu subconsciously stop 'feeding the demon', and hurriedly took a few steps back and cautiously looked at the mutated crystal block.
This change lasted only a dozen seconds before it stopped. For the sake of prudence, Feng Wuwu waited for another two or three minutes before slowly approaching the mutated crystal block and observing it carefully.
He found that these orange lines that suddenly appeared all started from a single point, and all the lines were like this, which reminded him of a certain picture he had seen on the Internet in his previous life.
The singularity of the universe, the Big Bang.
It all starts from one point and spreads out in all directions.
"What's going on?" Upon discovering that there was no danger, Wind Carefree exited dead air mode and poked it with his finger.
"The hardness doesn't seem to have changed, I don't know if the weight has changed."
Feng Wuwu tried to touch it with both hands, truly feeling the mutated crystal block, but as soon as he made contact, he suddenly withdrew his hand.
"Warm?"
The crystal block suddenly became strange.
Feng Wuwu picked it up gently, felt its weight, and unexpectedly found that the crystal block was much lighter.
"What's going on, is it the flames that melted the crystal?" After thinking for a moment, Feng Wuwu took out a normal crystal block from the basket next to him and put it on the right side of the mutated crystal block.
"The size doesn't change, and the hardness seems to be the same." Everything is unknown, and Feng Wuwu has to be careful.
"Let's try it, and hopefully the change is good." It's all come to this point, it's impossible to give up, you can only go one way to the dark.
Entering the dead gas mode again, Feng Wuwu tried to inject a small amount of flame into the crystal block, observing its changes at any time.
"It feels different than before." This time, he vaguely felt a space, and the space seemed to be filled with a familiar aura, the breath of the flame of death.
And as the flame continues to be injected, the flame increases significantly. This phenomenon makes Feng Wuwu overjoyed, and there is a completely different difference between goal-oriented efforts and goalless efforts. 'Watching' the flames slowly increase, the wind is worry-free and full of power, and I can't wait to work 24 hours a day.
It wasn't until the flames in his body were reduced to less than three layers that Feng Wuwu was awakened.
"You still can't be in too much of a hurry, you have to be steady." After exiting the dead air mode, Feng Wuwu also breathed a sigh of relief.
"I guess it's about the same in half a month."
After calming down, Feng Wuwu adjusted his plan. Adjust from the last day off to the last day off, the two days of rest can better observe the changes of the crystal block, and at the same time, the second day of rest can also do something else, such as...
Look for the Aeolus-sama who doesn't know where.
And so, half a month later
As the flames continued to be injected, the flames inside the crystal block had become almost liquid, and he didn't know how to describe the change. The Flame of Death didn't really exist in the form of flames inside the crystal block, but rather like a fog in the senses of the wind.
From the outside, the dots, which were the size of peanuts, have become the size of an adult's fist. He had a hunch that this change was coming to an end, just the last little bit. I'm afraid, at the moment when the flame is completely liquefied.
He figured that two or three more would be about the same. At this time, Feng Wuwu stopped the 'demon feeding' behavior, not only worried about the changes in the crystal block in the final stage, but also said hello in advance at the blacksmith shop. On the contrary, on the side of the wind god, he doesn't pay much attention to it anymore, and the most important thing now is the production of weapons, and the rest can be put aside first.
In the early morning of this day, after washing, the wind went straight to the blacksmith shop at the city gate.
"Good morning, uncle."
"It's you, it's been a long time since I've seen the wind boy." Wagner smiled and put down the hammer and wiped the sweat from his forehead with a towel.
"I have something to ask my uncle for help again."
"Haha, even if you don't say it, I guessed it, you kid definitely has something to do every time you come over." Wagner's anticipatory expression made the wind smile without worry.
"I can't help it, after all, if you want to ask Mondstadt who has the best forging skills, of course, it's Uncle Wagner."
"Haha, it's okay for you to say this when I was young, maybe I will promise you without saying a word. But now, I don't say yes to anyone easily. ”
"It seems that Uncle suffered a loss when he was young, hehe~" Feng Wuwu deliberately made a gesture of listening, "How about it, when do I have time to treat me, the angel's gift is optional, and it is available in unlimited quantities." ”
Hearing the angel's gift, Wagner's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly spoke as if he was afraid that the wind would regret it, "Hey~ This is what you said, but you can't regret it." ”
"Of course, I never make promises lightly."
"Now I can finally drink enough, hahaha~" Don't look at Wagner as a blacksmith, but at the same time he is also half an alcoholic, besides, as a forger, how can he leave fine wine.
"Tell me about it, Wind Boy, why did you come to me this time, was the weapon worn out last time?"
"No, no, the quality of the two weapons last time was very good, uncle, you are too worried." Feng Wuwu waved his hand, and then pretended to approach the uncle mysteriously, and whispered.
"That's right, when I was out on a mission before, I accidentally found a strange crystal mine, and I think that thing may be the legendary - magic crystal block."
"What do you say? Magic Crystal Block! Wagner was frightened and stood up from his seat, unable to believe what he had just heard.
"You just said the magic crystal block, are you sure it's the magic crystal block!?"
"Uncle, I know you're in a hurry, but don't worry yet." Feng Wuwu took the hand on his shoulder and broke it off with difficulty, "Also, I just said that it may be, but I don't guarantee that it must be a magic crystal block, after all, no one has ever seen this thing." ”
The uncle's reaction was expected by Wind Carefree, for a blacksmith to be able to find and use the legendary magic crystal block to create a weapon, no less than Wind Carefree to defeat the maintainer of Heavenly Principles, this is a feat that can go down in history.
After a while, Wagner gradually calmed down.
"Isn't your kid kid kidding me, why was something like a magic crystal block that is hard to find?"
"Hehe, maybe my luck is better than others." Feng Wuwu put his index finger and thumb together, gestured to the uncle, and then changed his voice.
"How about uncle, do you want to do it, to be honest, I'm not sure if that thing can be used as a material for forging weapons, so I need some advice from a professional like you."
Uncle doesn't ink either, whether this material is a legendary magic crystal block or not, it's always a good idea to try, and he believes that the boy in front of him won't make fun of him.
"Okay, where is the thing, take me to see it."
"It's in my house, come with me."
