Chapter 22: Returning Home
It's too long to spend in the Elven Realm. Edward said that if he didn't return to China, it was estimated that everyone would think that they had an accident. Kanna entrusts Denise with helping her say goodbye to Queen Erica. A few days later, the Flower Expedition arrived at the entrance to the elven world, the Hidden Forest. Barnett, the sword dancer, stood in a clearing at the edge of the woods.
"Kanna. Are you going back? Barnett's voice was low and seemed muffled.
"Ahh Master, are you here to see us off? Kanna didn't notice Barnett's strangeness for a moment, and ran to him happily.
Barnett said quietly, "I heard that you have been promoted to become a sword bard?" ”
"Hmmm! Yes. Kanna only realized that the master's state was not right, but she didn't realize why this was so.
"You keep calling me master. As a result, the apprentice is not ready to be a sword dancer, but runs to be a sword dancer, how can you be embarrassed to be a teacher? ”
Only then did Kanna understand why the master was so unhappy, she thought for a moment, and then asked, "Master." There is only one promotion requirement for a sword dancer, as a warrior, with a thousand years of combat experience in elven sword dance skills, right? ”
"That's right."
"Why can't I be a sword bard and then work part-time as a sword dancer after a thousand years? Is there a rule in the gods that you can't work part-time in the legendary profession? ”
"Part-time...... Legendary Class ......" Barnett couldn't believe his ears and muttered dumbfounded, "This ...... That's impossible...... Even Isidore gave up the sword dancer's fighting style and became a sword bard. Throughout the tens of thousands of years of elf history, only 'that adult' has achieved a part-time legendary profession......"
Kanna didn't speak, tilted her head, and looked at her master with a smile.
Barnett suddenly said in a loud voice, "No! If it's you. It is indeed possible to do it! ”
After a pause, Barnett put his hand on Canna's shoulder and said, "I'm looking forward to seeing the day you become a sword dancer!" ”
Kanna grinned and hugged Barnett, "You'll see." ”
After a few moments of small talk, Kanna and Barnett waved goodbye and walked out of the Hidden Forest to the Immortal City.
After returning to China, Kanna reduced the frequency of going out for a long time. Dedicate a lot of time to researching and practicing magic. It stands to reason that a mage can only correctly copy the magic that his or her level can understand and cast. However, with her outstanding talent for magic, Kanna simply copied a bunch of magic spells that were far above her own mage level and needed to be tried and evaluated in future actual combat into her magic book.
Two days before her birthday this year, Kanna received a package from an elf merchant. It is a long strip of object wrapped in elven flannel.
Kanna opened the flannel and revealed a delicate white scabbard in front of her. The scabbard is made of white wood throughout.
The white wood is made from the elven white tree, which is a very rare tree that grows only in the Sun Forest and has gold leaves and white stems. The branches of this tree are pure white both inside and out. In addition, its branches cannot be ignited by flames, rot from moisture, and cannot be eaten by insects. It is only when it is buried in the soil that it slowly decomposes and disappears. As a result, white wood has long been a top material for furniture and boats. The use of white wood to make houses is too extravagant, and in the entire elven territory, only the queen's bedroom is made of white wood. Elves are known to be a race that cares for the natural environment. On the premise of not destroying the reproduction of animal and plant species, try to extract only the materials needed for their own life. Therefore, elves do not sell items made by animals and plants as commodities to the outside world. The goods sold by the elves are basically jewelry, metal weapons and equipment. As a result, this wood is hardly seen in the human world. The kingdom of Meredes has received some white wood furniture as a national gift of the elves, but the number is still only a handful. The furniture in Kanna's bedroom, including a bed, a wardrobe, a table, and two chairs, is made of white wood. But that's all, the white wood furniture in the entire human world is in Kanna's boudoir.
On both sides of the scabbard, made of white wood, edging is made of bright silver metal. Kanna could tell by the touch that the metal used was white gold. This is the most precious metal in the world of Xenowo, much more valuable than gold, and even higher than Mithril, which is monopolized by the dwarves. At present, in the world, there is only one platinum vein in the territory of the Knight Kingdom, and the production is pitifully low. So basically, the metal is only used in jewelry making. The king of the knightly kingdom has a platinum upper body armor, which is the only platinum armor in the world. It stands to reason that white gold is not as hard as steel, and it is not comparable to the dwarven Mithril, Black Iron, and Dark Elf dark gold, so it is not suitable for crafting equipment. The purpose of making that plate armor in the Knight Kingdom must have been to show its noble status. Later, however, during the king's assassination, they discovered that the platinum plate armor had a terrifying defense against magical attacks. Later, it was tested by the mages of the kingdom and confirmed that platinum itself is magically immune. So that plate armor became legendary armor. Despite the special extreme magic defense properties of platinum, the production was too small in the end, and the Knights of Origin Kingdom did not attempt to make a second platinum armor.
The Elven Realm has the world's largest platinum reserves, and the reason is trade. The Elven Kingdom is self-sufficient, and will trade with the human world not for the currency itself, but to use the currency earned from the human world to buy some special human goods, such as special materials, crafts, musical instruments, etc. The shiny color of white gold is in line with the preferences of elves, coupled with the extremely stable nature, no rust, no fading, non-toxic and other reasons, it has become the most perfect choice for gold plating of utensils. It is one of the most imported special materials for elves.
In addition to the edging, the front and back of the scabbard are inlaid with a griffin coat of arms made of white gold, which is the coat of arms of the kingdom of Meredis. There are many kingdoms, powers, or family coats of arms in the world that use animal images. For example, the sun elves use unicorns, the moon elves use pegasus, the star elves use white deer, the original human empire uses griffins, and so on. It is worth mentioning that since the kingdom of Meredes was founded by the orthodox heirs of the original empire, the kingdom coat of arms follows the griffin pattern. The difference is that the griffin of the original empire was a frontal image with wings outstretched, while the kingdom of Meredis used a sideways flying figure.
Kanna tucked Ashley into the scabbard, the perfect size. Presumably, I found out Ashley's size from Isidore and asked a skilled craftsman to customize it. It was then that Kanna discovered that the white gold at the hilt of the sword was not only used for decoration, but also made a very elaborate buckle. When the sword is fully retracted into the scabbard, it is snapped to prevent the blade from slipping out. Touch the scabbard with your finger and the clasp will open. If you use a lot of force, the blade of the sword can also bounce the buckle out of the sheath, but considering Ashley's hardness and sharpness, it is easy to damage the buckle in the long run.
"Clever equipment requires care and care. I used to use ordinary equipment all the time, never cherished it, and the habit of throwing it away when it was bad really has to be changed. In other words, this gift is very valuable, and it will cost the master and his old man's salary for hundreds of years. In the future, when you come across something suitable for the master, collect it and give it to him as a gift." Thinking so, Kanna fastened the scabbard to the left side of her belt and continued to study magic in the library.
After unremitting efforts, Kanna's mage level was raised to level 30, and she memorized six magic spells for a long time. They are the third-order [Erasure Enchantment] of the magic energy system. Elemental third-order [Elemental Weakness Detection]. Elemental fourth-order [Enchantment: Fire Elemental Weapon], [Enchantment: Water Elemental Weapon], [Enchantment: Air Elemental Weapon], [Enchantment: Earth Elemental Weapon].
Enchanted elemental weapons are lower-level enchantments that can only be used on weapons. For a short period of time, when it hits an enemy, it will deal an additional small amount of damage from different elements. During the enchantment, the weapon's magic is temporarily increased to LV3. When facing a fifth-order transformation magic [Defense: Normal Weapon], you can directly ignore its effect. However, when facing the sixth-order magic [Defense: Magic Weapon] of the Transformation System, you need to use [Erase Enchantment] to turn back into a non-magic weapon in order to effectively attack. By the way, only one Defense Spell can exist on a Mage at any one time, so [Defense: Normal Weapon] and [Defense: Magic Weapon] cannot exist at the same time. When facing a magic that blocks the number of physical damages such as the Elemental Fourth-Order [Shield: Rock Skin], because it has additional elemental damage, each attack hits, and although the physical damage of the weapon is negated, the additional elemental damage can take effect. The magic [Elemental Weakness Detection] can detect the elemental weakness of nearby units for a period of time, making it easier for Kanna to choose which element to enchant.
During Canna's serious study of magic, Julia corresponded frequently with Edward, asking why she had been traveling so little lately. Edward's reply was that Princess Kanna had recently become obsessed with magic and lost her mind as a plaything. I'm deeply concerned that the future queen of the warrior kingdom might be a magician.
