Scene 37 Brando’s Preparations (Part 2)

Brando lined up eleven handicraft-like daggers, then used a silver hammer to break the tree crystal from the withered beast's body and melt it into the alchemical liquid. Then he turned back and said:

"Tamar, why don't you give it a try?"

"Me?" The middle-aged man standing behind Brando was slightly startled, but there was an eagerness to try on his face. Although the future master of alchemy is usually taciturn, when it comes to alchemy, he can't help but talk loudly.

But no matter how much I talk about it, it’s not as good as trying it myself. Although Tamar holds the title of an alchemist in the House of Nobles, she usually only helps purify some insignificant materials - after all, most nobles with a little status have their own alchemists and will not easily use them. secrets exposed.

Therefore, this is Tamar's first time refining magic items with her own hands. So when he looked at the eleven daggers, his throat couldn't help but twitch for a moment.

Brando smiled and nodded. Tamar's alchemy skills have improved rapidly. When they first met, he guessed that he should have level 3 alchemy based on the other person's actual ability and experience, but now he estimates that he is almost at level 5.

At this rate, it won't be long before the future master of alchemy will surpass him and enter the ranks of professional alchemists, which makes Brando have to lament the power of talent.

Of course, this is also due to the extensive practice of purifying evening primrose, fluorescent moss and black mage over the past month - Brando's own alchemy skills are locked at level 5 as a civilian, so he simply throws away all opportunities to practice. This future master of alchemy has led to Tamar's rapid progress in the past month.

But the alchemy master seemed unaware of his talent, so much so that when Brando revealed his intention to recruit, the latter readily agreed due to the double gratitude of saving his life and the kindness of knowing him, and even took the initiative to reduce the vast majority of his talent. Partial Commission. Brando originally proposed an annuity of 30,000, but the future master of alchemy only needed one-sixth of the symbolic amount to live and die.

Five thousand gold to hire an alchemy master, even a retainer costs more than this. But Brando is not worried. Anyway, noble alchemists are very personal and generally will not break away from the contract. Besides, he also believes that he can afford to keep Tamar even in the future.

Because no one knows better than him what this master of alchemy can do.

"Okay, I'll give it a try." The middle-aged man only thought about it for a moment and then agreed immediately.

Brando smiled. What he admired was the other party's confidence in his professional field.

When the alchemy laboratory became quiet, the young man casually took out a book on aristocratic history from the bookshelf on the side and started reading.

His knowledge of nobility and heraldry has reached level 6 in the past few days, and his scholar level has therefore reached level 11.

In addition to upgrading the skills and experience he gained from military swordsmanship to level (6+1), first aid to level 4, and white crow swordsmanship to level 2, he also acquired weapon proficiency (mercenary) and crossbow proficiency ( Mercenaries), Stealth and Tree Toughness.

Weapon proficiency is a unique skill for mercenaries and warriors, and is also the core skill of mercenaries. It only has one level, and the core introduction only has one sentence: a character with this skill is like having systematically learned how to use all military and simple weapons, even if he has never conducted relevant training before.

To put it bluntly, this skill saves a lot of skill experience, and it also fits the role of a mercenary as an all-rounder on the battlefield. Some good people have calculated how much skill experience will be wasted if a character wants to be proficient in all weapons without practicing this skill. The final result is about twelve thousand to thirteen thousand, which is a huge investment even in the late game.

Therefore, many other professions in the game are part-time mercenaries/fighters often for this skill. But in other words, apart from warriors and mercenaries, there are few other professions that use so many weapons.

Crossbow specialization is about in-depth training of crossbows. Different professions often have different weapon specializations, but mercenaries have almost all weapon specialization skills except wands, scepters and staffs. In this regard, he even goes one step further than a warrior. After all, mercenaries are synonymous with all-rounders, and he can even practice spells. However, the result of being all-rounder is to be proficient in nothing, which is also the biggest flaw of the mercenary profession.

Stealth skills come from professions such as Nightingale who often move in the shadows, while tree toughness comes from Druid. This is an actively activated self-protection skill and one of the most practical non-core skills for Druid (*). It can convert mana into the shape of a tree trunk over a period of time, increasing natural protection by 50% per level.

This skill is extremely practical when combined with a large number of natural protective amulets, and it is also one of Brando's most commonly used tactical structures in the later period.

Of course, the main reason is that these two skills are clearly priced at the Royal Geographical Society in Prague (*), so young people will naturally not let them go. There are not many opportunities to learn cross-professional skills, not to mention that there is no need to do tasks.

Of course, after completing these skills one by one, the hundreds of skill and experience points squeezed out of the scholar profession were all used up. In fact, Brando also knows that skill experience in the game is originally a means of compensation. The game requires players to upgrade their skills through practice and use - but Brando does not have the time now.

I think he had a good battle in the Sharp Stone Valley, and his swordsmanship was only about to become 6+2.

But Brando had only turned a few pages of the book in his hand when Tamar's alchemy was completed. The future master of alchemy excitedly took out a dagger and said as if a child was showing off his toy:

"My lord, it's done!"

"So fast?" Brando glanced at the time quietly, and the hourglass had only fallen by one-third: "No waste?"

"No." Tamar shook her head confidently.

Brando couldn't help but marvel that the first time he tried to make magic items, there were no scraps. This is not something ordinary people can do. I remember that before he made alchemy a hundred times in the game, his failure rate was as high as 46%, which is still relatively good among novices.

He sighed as he took the dagger and took a look at it, and opened the attribute display. These gadgets were all whiteboard weapons with 1-2 damage bought from the blacksmith workshop, but this time they had been added at the end (1-1 poison). ) suffix. The name of the dagger also became 'Tree Spirit Poison-Quenching Dagger'.

The label is black iron grade.

Brando put the dagger back on the iron plate and thought about it. It would be great if each of these little things could be sold for about two thousand Thor. After all, most of his customers should be lower-class nobles or thieves - the big nobles have their own personal alchemists and look down on these gadgets.

Twenty thousand Thor, which is still a bit far behind the number he promised little Roman.

But the young man was not worried. He took out a high-quality tree crystal from the golden magic tree and a dwarf dagger bought by Bottom.

"This next one is a little more complicated, Tamar, let's do it together," he replied.

"Together?" Tamar was slightly startled. Alchemists mostly completed tasks independently, but at most they teamed up with wizards. I have never heard of two alchemists working together without the magic ripples interfering with each other.

But Brando had no such concerns. He drew a circular magic circle on the ground with chalk, and then began to trace numbers and runes around the magic circle. Tamar watched him complete all this, her eyes gradually turned to surprise, and he saw that those numbers were the coordinates of the constellations used by wizards.

Then Brando raised his head, pointed at the second section of the circle and said to Tamar: "Come here."

At this moment, Tamar saw the completed magic circle on the ground, and her heart was shocked beyond imagination. He was stunned for a long time and then blurted out: "Sir, is this a ring ceremony?"

"Ritual of the Ring?"

"I heard that only the wizards of Buga have mastered this secret technique. The great master standing on the main star can use the power of many people to complete spells or alchemy. Sir, is this——?

"Almost, this is a simplified version of sixteen people. If I have a chance, I will draw a complete ring formation of thirty-two and sixty-four people for you to see." Brando then nodded. In Tamar's eyes, What is incredible is a skill that every player in his world must master.

The middle-aged man's eyes immediately glowed with fanaticism. The future master of alchemy nodded quickly and stood in the magic circle with an impatient look, as if he couldn't wait to witness the power of this magic circle more than Brando.

Brando smiled, and he picked up the sword - the dwarf's short sword was made into a beautiful long-pointed trapezoid according to the aesthetic style of the people of the mountains, and the surface was infused with the magic of the rock. The young man put his finger on it to feel it, and realized that it was a spell like Rock Edge. Fortunately, the magic of the earth does not conflict with the magic of nature, so it does not affect his subsequent work.

So he took a gold chisel and struck a hole in the dagger.

"Ouch." Bottom finally couldn't help shouting at the door at this time.

"What are you talking about, Bottom." Brando was almost frightened by this guy and his hands shook. If he hadn't been so good at it, this sword with a value of 1,500 Thor would have been scrapped. .

At this moment, Brando doesn't have the second money to buy another one.

The red-bearded mercenary knew that he almost got into trouble, so he honestly didn't answer. It's just that his heart is bleeding. Ordinary craftsmen will probably be heartbroken when they see this Lord Knight ruining the work of the dwarf iron artist, right? Unfortunately, Brando didn't have this realization. He picked up the chisel and struck again.

This hit almost hit Bottom's heart.

But Brando ignored him. He picked up the sword, set the tree crystal of the golden magic tree into the hole, and then nodded to Tamar. The two of them began to draw runes on both sides of the dagger together. About half an hour passed by before a brand new magical weapon appeared in the sight of the three of them.

Brando picked up the pointed trapezoid sword. The golden earth runes and the new green natural runes complemented each other, but more importantly, its attributes became 3-4 attack (3-3 poison).

In other words, this sword can almost rival the Thorn of Light in terms of lethality alone - of course, apart from being slightly less sharp, it also has no additional magical properties.

But this sword alone is enough to be labeled as brass, and there is no problem in bidding 100,000 yuan on the underground black market. Because no matter whether they are nobles, adventurers or mercenaries, they will not mind having a good sword.

Even certain knights who are not bound by secular treaties are not exempt.

Brando wiped his sweat as he looked at the sword. This was the first time in this world that he had refined magic equipment above 15 (Oz). The fourteen layers of runes almost made him collapse, but the gains were also very rich. Not to mention that the sword itself was more perfect than he imagined. He even felt that his alchemy skills were showing signs of breakthrough.

Brando is almost certain that as soon as he obtains the status of a knight noble, alchemy will immediately break through the current level and reach (5+1) level.

And he raised his head to look at Tamar, and saw that the future master of alchemy still looked like he was still unfinished. His eyes were shining and he said to this side: "Sir, I think I seem to have figured out something. If If nothing else, it should only be a matter of time before you master the higher-level runes and magic circles——"

Professional alchemist.

Brando was overjoyed. It seemed that he was going to add a professional alchemist to his staff. For non-players, level five is a bottleneck. As long as you break through level five, level ten alchemy is just around the corner. Once you reach level ten alchemy, you can create dragon-slaying arrows (40Oz).

This is good news.

(PS. I’ve been offended by some of LK’s idiots again. Some idiots will always speculate on other people’s words with the greatest malice. I want to say that since I am so annoying to you, you should stop reading my books, so as not to It's so disgusting to your eyes.

When I saw someone reading my book while spraying me, I couldn’t help but feel sad. Could it be that this is the legendary bitch, born with a little pain? It’s not comfortable to be abused if you don’t use the name Sky╮(╯▽╰)╭
