Chapter 18: How can a staff be such an inconvenience?

Normally, the crafting of a staff requires the caster to reach Tier 7, but with the help of Wild Arcane, Blacksmith's Blessing, and Modern Industry, Chen Zhou was able to barely meet the minimum crafting requirements at Tier 5, but only for the simple type.

However, he felt that his current expectations for the finished product were closer to the scepter than the staff, which could be easily made by a Tier 5 spellcaster.

"Speaking of which, I don't know much about magical girls."

It wasn't until he began to draft the design drawings that Chen Zhou reacted to a question -

"All I know is that the magical girl's staff can usually be reduced to the size of a key, and it can be used as a mace when it is restored in battle, and it is necessary to change clothes in every episode, and it is definitely necessary to make lilies, and there is a mascot."

In addition, Chen Zhou knew almost nothing about the profession of magical girls.

"Don't you know magical girls very well?"

"It's strange, Lily heard from the Star Folk that magical girls are witches' infancy, and they will go through hard trials, brutal battle damage, and touching friendships?"

Chen Zhou was puzzled, isn't the magical girl a child, how can she still go through battle damage and experience, at most, she is like a pineapple pineapple that is good at shelling a white demon, but she can still be a lily.

"Anyway, it's a girl who transforms magic into a cannonball, more like a magical version of a barbarian than a spellcaster."

『?』

The three of them seem to have a skewed understanding of the magical girl profession.

In any case, artillery bombardment is indeed a fairly simple and straightforward means of killing, and even archmages and voters will learn abilities such as arcane fire and silver fire.

"No problem, it's the first machine anyway, as the core, Zhenbing is more than enough to make high-level magic items, so add all the functions that can be used."

Charge, Convert, Shell, Fire Control, Melee, Shield, Buff, Support Magic, Intelligence, and more......

The goal is that the finished product must have the level of strengthening an ordinary third-grade girl to the level of an air fortress.

"Wow, how much does a staff cost so much?"

"Are you going to make an artifact? And the main principle of upgradeable magic items is to unlock and upgrade the functions slowly!"

Chen Zhou suddenly realized, it is also said that it is also a very important part to eat deflated and then gain new strength, so he needs to reserve room for the staff to upgrade.

As for whether it is an artifact or not, he doesn't think that the magic items he expected can reach the level of ordinary magic items, and only things that are more powerful than legendary magic items can be called inferior artifacts or artifacts.

For example, the very famous "Vientiane Impermanence Card" belongs to the category of inferior artifacts.

"At most, it's a Relic, a strange thing that's a little more special than ordinary magical items."

At least Chen Zhou felt that his idea of creation was very much in line with the spirit of industrialization, and as long as there were enough resources, he could copy his products in batches.

"Little kitten, even if you really make that kind of thing, ordinary people except you can't use it, right?"

"Yes, extremely low temperature Zhen Ice requires a high level of physical fitness and cold resistance for the holder."

To put it in a slightly more colloquial way, when approaching and approaching the Ice, it will continue to take varying amounts of cold damage, and this damage will gradually increase with the content and strength of the Ice.

This means that ordinary people who don't have cold resistance just hold it will have to consume a very high amount of mana under the "Resistance to Energy Damage" or similar spell effect buffs.

"So when you use it for normal humans, do you have to deliberately deteriorate Zhen Bing, can't you seal it at a low temperature under normal conditions?"

The cold of Zhen Ice is magical, if it can be suppressed...... That way, the entire magic item won't work.

As for making the holder directly immune to the cold?

For example, the Ring of the White Dragon, which is normally resistant to cold, costs 60,000 gold in Market City, while the Ring of Ice Soul, which is directly immune (but vulnerable to fire), costs 100,000 gold.

"In fact, this price is not unacceptable, after all, we are not paying for it."

Chen Zhou suddenly realized that he was actually using other people's money to make toys for himself, so is there any need to worry about the cost?

That's it!

Even if it is a legendary mage, the net worth may not be as high as that of a superpower in Blue Star, don't underestimate the country-level budget.jpg

"Then the problem is very simple, we just need to provide the holder of the ring with the Ice Soul Covering effect, and limit the cold temperature of the magic of the Ice to the surface."

After realizing this, Chen Zhou and Wolong Phoenix Chicks, who had no worries, immediately began to conceive of the staff.

The first thing that should be decided is the shape of the staff.

"Since it's obviously an ice-type staff, how about the staff body also made of translucent blue crystal?"

I don't know if the human girl likes Lily or not, but she likes this kind of crystal clear, sparkling jewelry.

However, Chen Zhou and Jerry rejected her proposal at the first time.

"Not good, the crystal structure means weakness against sonic attacks, we need to consider the structural strength of the staff."

"No, I'm going to use this staff at the end of the day, it must be able to be used as a weapon at the same time."

As he spoke, Chen Zhou drew a staff in the shape of a long-handled battle axe on the paper.

"How about this, it combines the part of the staff (handle) and the gem (axe blade)."

Lily was dumbfounded, this thing is a staff!?

"The axe is a very good weapon, it can have the effect of piercing armor and slashing, and I recommend the slaughter axe invented by the orc blacksmith of the Berkzen of the Gralion plane, which is more suitable for power warriors."

Chen Zhou had heard of this, and it seemed to be an extra-large axe (3d6 base damage, but power below 19 could not be used), but he was not very good at that kind of weapon that eats manipulation.

Whether it's technical or powerful.

"Can't we just choose a girly look?"

She thinks that the standard staff inlaid with ice and carved a dragon is very good, and she should use a sword again, how can a magical girl use an ice battle axe?

"There is one who wields a thunderbolt tomahawk." Chen Zhou recalled, and the staff was such an inconvenient thing.

"Strictly speaking, a magical girl is a variant of the way of chivalry, and the essence of a chivalrous person is a combat professional, so it is normal for a magical girl to use a heavy sword, a slaughter axe, a spear, a barbed chain, and a flail."

Lily let out a grief, and she thought that the staff they were about to make might not be out of order.

"But there's no need to care so much about appearance, after all, this thing doesn't matter."

In the end, Chen Zhou thought of a material that fit the ideas of both parties: "Just use ice essence as a part of the body of the staff, the material with the appearance of steel-strength crystals should be beautiful and practical." ”
