Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
Wang Qinian came to the alchemy workshop and found the owner of the workshop, Ewell, who was an alchemist who opened an alchemy workshop here with seven or eight apprentices.
There is its own alchemy workshop in the inner city of the Free City, which is said to be controlled by a few dwarven craftsmen, but the production is limited, and other magicians prefer to conduct magical research rather than making things all day long like craftsmen, so when magic arrows need to expand the production in a short period of time, they will entrust Ewell's workshop to make some on their behalf.
"It's a little bit, I'm sorry. "I've stopped other commissions, but I don't have enough people. â
"I can help. Wang Qinian said.
"You?" said Iver's face changed slightly.
Wang Qinian suddenly realized that he was too reckless, every alchemy workshop must have its own craftsmanship, and he casually said to help, if he misunderstood that he wanted to steal learning, it would be self-defeating.
"I just want to get it quickly, or Chrissy won't be able to explain it. Wang Qinian explained.
Ewell nodded, his face softened, he believed that this young man was not trying to spy on him, and he also knew the situation on the side of the military workshop, and there was not much competition with him.
"I also want to deliver the goods quickly, but it is true that there are not enough manpower, although there are drawings of the enchanted magic array given by Chris, but the success rate of my apprentices in drawing magic is too low, and there are quite a lot of waste products, to be honest, I have already lost money on this deal......"
Wang Qinian touched his head, could it be that the first task that Criss taught him was about to be completed?
"That's not going to work, Mr. Ewell, even if the delivery is delayed, you'll have to give me a day. Wang Qinian said strictly.
Ai Wei looked embarrassed, Wang Qinian thought about it, and began to ask about the specific production of magic arrows.
Ai Wei said, it turns out that the production of magic arrows includes the selection of materials, the shape of Shuo, the shape of the shape, and finally the enchantment, the level of the apprentices under him varies, some have a good eye for the selection of materials, and some are good at making arrows, but because the level of magic is too low, although there are drawings of Chris, the most critical enchantment is that the failure rate is too high.
"This short-range tracking arrow is more troublesome than those that require enchantment, sharpness, armor-piercing, and poison. Ewell smiled wryly.
Maybe he was afraid that Wang Qinian would not believe it, after all, he came to urge on behalf of Chriss, as long as Ai Wei still stayed in the Free City, it was impossible to offend the City Lord's Mansion.
So Ewell made an exception and brought Wang Qinian into his workshop, and sure enough, he saw that seven or eight alchemy apprentices were constantly busy.
"Look, they've actually worked hard, and I'm not too embarrassed to be a master. Evel said.
Wang Qinian looked at them, they were pouring iron into the furnace to refine pure molten iron, and the magic arrows that the underground base intended to use were required to be recyclable and harmful, so they were not wooden arrows used by ordinary hunters or archers, but iron arrows.
The molten iron is condensed into long strips in the grooves, and after cooling, they are taken away by the apprentices respectively, and the arrowhead tail is ground to complete the most basic shape, and then the shape is repaired, and the balance of the arrow must be maintained after the arrow is shot in order to shoot farther, so it is necessary to continue to polish the excess and sharpen the thick arrow sharp.
Finally, there is enchantment, which uses a special magic liquid to etch a magic pattern dent on the arrow, while trying not to affect the balance of the arrow, forming a miniature magic circle.
In terms of enchantment, the simplest is the poisoned arrow, most of the poisoned arrows do not need to draw magic patterns, only need to be smeared, but it is the most dangerous for the arrowcaster, because if there is a wound on the hand when applying, one will be poisoned by himself first.
Wang Qinian, accompanied by Ewell, stood on the steps of the workshop and watched for a long time, and the apprentices of the workshop did not have any major problems in the selection of materials and shapes, but they often failed in enchantment.
"Actually, you can change the production process. Wang Qinian said.
"Change?" said Ewell, surprised.
"Yes. Wang Qinian pointed to the apprentice below and said, "Look at that, what he is best at is to find the most suitable arrow embryo from the condensation of molten iron, if the length and thickness are appropriate, the selection of materials can save the time of shaping and repairing the shape later; â
"They all have their strengths, but they also have their own strengths, and if they are allowed to complete all the steps of the Enchanted Arrow, they will be slowed down. So what I mean is that you should reassign their work so that the one who is best at selecting materials is only responsible for selecting materials, and if the embryo is long at the beginning, he is responsible for cutting it to the most suitable length and then giving it to others, and the apprentice who is good at the shape is only responsible for the shape, and the more careful one is responsible for the third step of the shape, so that the degree will be accelerated. â
Wang Qinian told Iver about the assembly line operation, and Iver thought about it and seemed to make sense, "But, what about the final enchantment?"
"It's up to you to do it, you're only responsible for enchanting it, so that the yield will increase, otherwise even if the arrow shape is complete, once they fail to enchant, they still won't be able to deliver. Of course, if you don't mind, I can share some of the work, even though I'm only an apprentice in magic, but Master Kristh thinks my magic level is level four. Wang Qinian said with a smile, the first to third level are magic apprentices, and the fourth level can go to the Magic Guild to participate in the evaluation of the official mage title. "Okay, anyway, the blueprint for the magic array was provided by Chris. Ai Wei also figured it out and asked Wang Qinian to come in, if he still couldn't deliver the goods, he would naturally go and explain to Chriss.
In this way, Wang Qi began a very busy life, every morning, he had to teach Agatha the language, and in the afternoon he had to go to the magic workshop to supervise, and in order to speed up the progress and deliver the goods, he personally participated in the production of magic arrows.
Fortunately, Owen is not completely stupid, and the previous Master Zanqi had learned dark alchemy, so Owen can help in the memory he left for Wang Qinian.
Even so, it didn't go well at first, but soon Wang Qinian got started, although the yield rate was not as good as that of Avier, who was an eighth level, but the yield rate was much stronger than his magic apprentices.
And in the evening, Wang Qinian had to rush to the inner city to report to Criss, and then practice elven magic chess by the way.
It wasn't until late at night that Wang Qinian came out of the inner city, and then bought some shrimp cakes and the like at the frying stall to bring back.
As the days passed, Wang Qinian felt very fulfilled, and he was making progress every day.
The only regret is that there is not enough time, Criss promised him that he could enter his library to study, but he was too busy to even have time to go in.
But he is not in a hurry, when the magic arrow is completed, he will be able to spare time, Agatha is very interested in the ancient elven language, so he has already told him some of the information he knows about the library, as long as Wang Qinian enters, he is sure to find the original record of the ancient elven language.
But there are always accidents, and when he returned to his residence late at night that day, Old John and the others, as well as the wood elf Ciri, were all waiting for him in his room.
"What are you doing, why did you enter my room without my permission?" Wang Qinian was very unhappy, although he would carry his important things with him, he still minded them entering the room casually.
"What can we do, we've wanted to talk to you these days, but you go out all morning and come back late, every day!" said Old John, almost growling.
Wang Qinian smiled, these days are indeed too busy, in addition to teaching Agatha and concentrating on learning elven magic chess, Avier is also in the final stage, if nothing else, he will be able to hand over all the short-range tracking arrows the day after tomorrow one day in advance.
"What's the matter?"
"We've been here for more than half a month. Ciri hesitated, "What are we waiting for?"
"Boy, women are always secretive when they speak, and I won't be polite to you!
Only then did Wang Qinian notice that Old John's face was not quite right, as if it was swollen a lot, and the other members of the original slave catcher team who were with him also seemed to have fought with people.
"What's wrong with you?"
"What's the matter? Of course you went out to find money, is that the little food you buy back every day is enough for us to eat?"
It turned out that Old John and the others went out to find their own way to make money during this time, and of course they didn't dare to be robbers directly in the Free City, but they planned to collect peace money from some shops.
The Free City is very peaceful under Franklin's rule, but the rogue ruffians are a gray area where zĂ i exists, they don't necessarily need to steal and rob, as long as they play some tricks to make trouble for the shops, someone will naturally give in, so the merchants would rather spend a little money.
And for the sake of this kind of peace fee, the hooligans of Liberty City have already divided the area, and Old John suddenly wanted to intervene, so naturally they fought.
Speaking of one-on-one, Old John was born in a slave hunting team and has received semi-militarized training, and the hooligan ruffians are really not his opponents, but the other party has a numerical advantage, and finally fights until the city guards arrive, otherwise it will be Old John who will suffer, after all, the number is too small.
After all, the city guards did not arrest them after knowing their residence, because Wang Qinian's current residence was very special, and it was the kind of guests in the inner city, but it was inconvenient to arrange a temporary residence in the inner city.
Old John, of course, refused to suffer this loss, and when he returned, he negotiated with Ciri, intending to make the Wood Elves a gangster.
These days, the things that the wood elves eat, except for the shrimp cakes that Wang Qinian bought every night, the lunch at noon was all the money paid by Old John and a few of them.
Of course, the female patrol leader refused this unreasonable request, so Old John lost his temper and remembered Wang Qinian's promise.
"Boy, how long are you going to deceive us with rhetoric, what will you think of the way to get rich, it's been almost a month, what about the road to wealth? Old John exclaimed.
Ciri was a little overwhelmed, the Wood Elves didn't dare to leave the Free City now, they were too conspicuous, and once they left the city, they couldn't be sure that they wouldn't be targeted and turned into slaves on the way home.
But if they stay like this, they don't know how to survive in the Terran region.
In the forest, the Wood Elves are skilled archers, protected by tribes, united and friendly by their partners, and do not worry about anything.
Here, however, what the Wood Elves have learned is largely useless, unless they are willing to go out of the city to hunt in the wilderness.
"I did think of a way to get rich. Wang Qinian said.
"Isn't that a quick idea?" said one of the slave catchers eagerly, "if you lie to us again, we will break up and everyone will survive." â
"But this road to wealth is not so simple, first need your help, and then need to solve a key. I'm helping the City Lord's Mansion these days, and the key to that is only to turn to Master Xi of the City Lord's Mansion for help, but before I complete the task he gave me, how can I make a request to him?"
Everyone's faces softened, and Old John said, "How long will it take?"
"The day after tomorrow. Wang Qinian said unhurriedly, "The day after tomorrow is when my task is completed, and when I go to report, I will ask Master Criss for help." â
"Well, I'll trust you again. Old John gritted his teeth.
