Chapter 18: The Magical Workshop

Ronan found the basement of the castle, which was a refuge that every nobleman had built and reserved for himself.

The underground space is almost fifty square meters and more than three meters high.

Inside, there was only a rudimentary wooden bed and a wooden table, and the surface had been eroded by time, and the surface had appeared brown mildew, and a stale stench permeated the air.

He threw everything inside out, and after a period of ventilation, went inside.

Then he began to place the materials in his hand on the ground, various metal ingots, sulfur, saltpeter, mercury, sapphire, amethyst, deep sea whale oil, rosemary powder, various essential oil nectar, etc.

"Gold is the base, silver is the firewood, and the burning flame controls the smelted metal."

"I will communicate with the Star Spirit in the vastness of blue, which is the convergence of emotions, desires, and spirits. I will awaken the Divine Mind with the mystical purple, which is the condensation of all imagination and wisdom, and finally I will condense the Aether with the power of magic, which is the law by which all things develop. ”

"From now on, I will engrave my real name, Ronan Ortavisus, here forever, and use knowledge to pry the rules of the world."

The moment the oath ended, Ronan's magic was flowing through his body.

The various materials that were originally placed around him, like wax figures exposed to high temperatures, melted into clusters of distinct colors of light at a speed visible to the naked eye, from the initial mutual rejection, to mutual acceptance, and finally completely integrated.

[The research workshop has been established, and it can be named]

"Ronan's Workshop."

【Naming completed】

Ronan glanced at the window that popped up in front of him called "Ronan's Workshop", and his attention immediately turned to the basement, which had changed dramatically.

Compared to the previous empty environment, there are two more special objects here.

【Ronan's Alchemy Furnace】

[Gold and silver can be put into the driving force, by putting in the metal and the detailed drawings of the dimensions, the final product is obtained after casting, and the final product shall not exceed the cube of more than eight cubic meters]

It was a large, dark gold square furnace that occupied a corner of the basement and was just high enough to top the roof of a house.

In the center of the furnace is a large mouth that stretches out, taking up most of the plane.

Its role is very simple, it only needs Ronan to throw the drawings and metal ore raw materials into it, and it will be able to spit out the finished product on the drawings.

It can help to complete the removal of impurities, smelting, refining, and then processing from metal to finished products, and play the role of blast furnace, lathe, milling machine, boring machine and other tools, and the accuracy is not limited.

Of course, energy can't be created for nothing, and Ronan needs to spend gold or silver to drive the transformation material.

In addition, the final product must be able to fit in the cube space of 2×2×2, and must not exceed this range.

There is no doubt that the effect of the alchemy furnace is very powerful, which means that with enough knowledge and gold, silver and other metal ore materials, a modern industrial system can be built on a small scale in a short period of time!

Well, I should be able to dream of it.

Ronan smacked his lips, and regretted that he didn't enter the factory to make screws in his previous life.

Otherwise, he might be able to perform the trick of rubbing the machine tool with his bare hands.

As for now, it is estimated that I can only use it for weapons and farm tools for the time being.

In this era, there was no CAD aid, not even a ruler with a standard scale.

The crooked lines of the 2D3D drawings are not a few cents, and the error of the finished product has to be calculated in centimeters.

It's not a thing that can do delicate work.

I don't know what the development of technology has been in the Empire's Bachelor's Castle.

Ronan thought to himself, he decided that he must go there when he had the opportunity, even if the development was not good, he could throw some cutting-edge theories by himself and let the scholars there study them.

When the technique is almost perfect, he steals it back and uses it.

The things of a scholar can only be said to understand everything.

After studying the alchemy furnace, Ronan set his sights on another item.

【Ronan's Research Bench】

[You can use special knowledge to enhance the special effects generated by the research of the occult of the specialty, and the knowledge has been unlocked: swordsmanship, mounted archery, and apothery.] Special knowledge at present: Star Breathing Method]

It is a wooden table made of birch wood, on which are placed three large books protected by thick leather covers.

Ronan sat down and opened one of the books labeled swordsmanship.

Thrusts, slashes, parries, blocks, etc., each page has a separate record of the swordsmanship posture he has learned, and it shows a bright flash.

Ronan knew what this meant, and he was able to use the astral breath to enhance one of these gestures.

The Star Breathing Method is a knight's breathing method inherited by Ronan's family, and it is also a technique that Ronan studied and practiced diligently when he was in Triumph City.

He has not been able to break through before, and he is a little disappointed, and now it seems that this is the wrong usage?

Instead of rushing to try, Ronan opened two other books.

Mounted archery and swordsmanship recorded the various postures he learned, but the light was far dimmer than that of swordsmanship.

Ronan understood that this was because of the fit, and that the riding archery and the star breathing method did not match.

And the book that recorded his three prescriptions, the open pages did not shine and could not be strengthened.

After the comparison, Ronan opened the swordsmanship book again, turned it to the page of parry, and chose to strengthen.

Suddenly, a far more dazzling light flickered on the page, and around the figure holding the sword in the picture, there was an additional star projection.

[Swordsmanship (Sharpness -1/hour, Star Barrier -10/hour)]

Ronan sensed the newfound ability in his mind.

For ten mana, he can summon the power of the stars to form a protective barrier in front of him, blocking anything he subjectively determines to be an attack for one hour.

The effectiveness of the defenses has not been tested and is difficult to quantify.

But judging by the amount of mana consumed, the knight's attack will definitely not be broken.

As the swordsmanship intensified, the light on all the remaining pages dissipated.

This is not to say that the Star Breathing Method is useless, but the effect of his training over the years is only enough to strengthen this posture.

Want to strengthen other gestures? Yes, keep exercising and save energy.

Ronan opened his panel by the way, and as the research workshop was established, his level increased.

Name: Ronan Ortavisus

Class: Sorcerer

Talent: Immortal

Specialties: Occult Studies, Spiritual Projection

Level: Lv2

Mana: 20/40 +2/hour

Unlocked Knowledge: Sword (-1/hr sharpness, -10/hr Star Barrier), Mounted Archery (-1/h mount enhancement, -1/standard arrow), Pharmacy (-10/standard vial)

After reaching level 2, his mana and recovery speed are doubled.

Previously, all mana was spent to create a research workshop, so it now only shows 20 mana.

What's more, he has an additional specialty, which will be the most crucial force in helping him develop this frozen land.
