Chapter 138 Magic Forging (I)
What Qiasi said was right. Lan Wu asked someone and found out where Qiasi and Farah's blacksmith shop was. When he got there, he saw them forging equipment together.
Seeing them forging equipment, Lan Wu didn't want to disturb them. He walked over quietly and stood in the corner to watch them forge magic together.
He was fascinated by it. Magic forging is completely different from ordinary forging methods. Ordinary forging is to create blank equipment and then engrave the corresponding magic circle to achieve the effect of adding magic attributes. Magic forging takes a different approach and goes to the other extreme.
Qiasi and Farah are now fully committed to magic forging. The two did not notice Lan Wu's arrival and were immersed in building magic structures.
Compared with Qiasi, Farah's technique is more skilled. After all, she has been studying magic forging all the time and became a blacksmith as a mage. It is far from what Qiasi, a traditional blacksmith, can compare with.
The engraving of the magic circle is obviously led by Farah. This simple task was a piece of cake for her. As her hands tapped quickly, the iron embryo suspended above the furnace flashed with light. In a moment, a delicate magic circle flashed on the iron embryo and disappeared into it.
One magic circle after another was inserted into the iron embryo. With each magic circle, the iron embryo became brighter. The magic fluctuations also became stronger. Lan Wu was not a rookie. The magic forging foundation summarized by Qiaxi before made him understand that this was the foundation of an equipment.
The core of making equipment is to engrave the magic circle into it. These magic circles are combined into regular magic structures, and the final effect is to make the equipment obtain the corresponding attributes. Each piece of equipment that has just been made will be filled with corresponding magic fluctuations because it needs a certain amount of magic power to activate when it is inserted into the magic circle. When the magic structure is stable, the magic fluctuations of the equipment will automatically converge until the magic power that accidentally overflows during the battle touches the magic structure, and then the corresponding magic fluctuations will appear again.
Just looking at the magic fluctuations of this rough embryo, Lan Wu was surprised. He was not unfamiliar with gold equipment, and even more so with dark gold equipment. Such a strong magic fluctuation was inferior to dark gold equipment, but stronger than blue equipment. This was the magic fluctuation that only gold equipment had.
Just a rough embryo had already reflected the characteristics of gold equipment.
Lan Wu had to admit that this magic forging had completely captured his heart. Once he mastered this craft, it would not be a dream for everyone in the Rogue Camp to have a set of gold equipment in the future. Even if it was just low-level gold equipment, it didn't matter, it was always better than blue equipment. What's more, this magic forging could actively add attributes to the equipment.
At this time, Farah and the other person seemed to have reached their respective signs, and big drops of sweat oozed from their foreheads. Both of them seemed to have just been fished out of the water. But the two of them seemed to be competing, and they still stubbornly put a new magic circle into the rough embryo.
The hand exuded a strong magic fluctuation, and it seemed to be as heavy as a thousand pounds and approached the iron embryo. Farah's expression was focused, and there was no blood on his face. This was the first time Lan Wu saw Farah behave like this.
"That's enough." Qiasi seemed to sense that Farah's magic power had run out, and suddenly held her hand. The magic power dissipated in an instant, and the magic circle that had just formed collapsed, turning into dots of light and falling down.
"It seems that this is our limit." Farah was not angry, but just shook her head and sighed, her eyes full of regret. Above gold equipment is dark gold equipment. Beyond this limit, you will reach a new stage. This is the dream of every blacksmith.
"Let's start." Qiasi smiled indifferently, looked up at Lan Wu and said, "Wait a minute. Farah and I will forge this long sword first."
"Please." Lan Wu smiled, bowed slightly to Farah who looked back and made a simple salute.
"Sorry." Farah waved her hand, and she no longer had the laziness she had in Lu Gaoyin. Magic forging gave her new fighting spirit.
After greeting, Farah took out a small glass bottle. Lan Wu could see clearly that it was the magic fusion agent that Farah used when repairing equipment. At that time, Farah gave him half a bottle, but it was a pity that it was almost wasted in the learning process.
Shaking off a little bit of magic fusion agent, the dark green flame in the furnace rose more than a foot high, greedily consuming the rough piece of the rough piece that had been hit with the magic circle. In a short while, layers of magic circles emerged above the rough piece. These magic circles still cannot be considered as magic structures, but are just magic circles superimposed on each other.
Farah pulled out the hammer from his waist, looked up and looked at Qiasi. The latter smiled and also grabbed the hammer placed beside him. Then the two of them swung the hammer tacitly and combined these magic circles at the same time.
The hammer seemed to hit the magic circle with both weight and lightness. As the hammer rose and fell, the barriers between the magic circles disappeared like ice and snow, as if they were recombined according to specific rules under the control of a pair of invisible hands. Every time a magic circle is successfully combined with another magic circle, the rough magic structure becomes more stable. When all the magic circles were combined into a brand new magic structure, the two stopped at the same time.
"Success." The two looked at the exquisite magic structure that looked like a work of art, with ecstasy in their eyes. Obviously, the success rate of creating golden equipment is not 100%.
Then the two of them worked together and began to swing the hammer to process the rough piece. The clanging sound played a cheerful dance music, which was refreshing.
The rough piece gradually took shape with the rise and fall of the hammer. In less than half an hour, a rough piece of long sword that had not been sharpened was formed. At this time, Qiaxi was the first to throw down the hammer, picked up the fire tongs to clamp the rough piece of long sword, and quickly moved it to the anvil beside. Farah made up for it just in time, and took advantage of the residual heat to quickly carry out the final processing.
With a sound of "chi", white mist rose. After completing the last process of quenching, Qiaxi clamped the long sword that had just been made and placed it in front of him for the final inspection.
"The quality is not bad." Qiaxi nodded with satisfaction and flicked his finger on the sword. The sound of the sword like a dragon's roar echoed. Even if Lan Wu didn't understand swords, he knew that the quality of this long sword was indeed not bad.
At this time, Farah had put the hammer back to his waist. Unlike the barbarian blacksmith Qiasi, she exudes the elegance of a mage in her every move. At least the tools at hand will not be thrown around. She took out an identification scroll to identify the long sword. After the identification, the long sword suddenly burst into a dazzling golden light.
"Hahaha..." Qiasi gave Farah a hug. The completion of this golden long sword symbolizes that the two have made further progress in their skills. This is absolutely good news for the blacksmith.
"The rest is up to you." Farah was also very excited. She broke away from Qiasi's bear hug and turned to walk into the shop. But the precious golden long sword that had just been made was thrown to the ground by her, which was indescribably pitiful.
Lan Wu almost dropped his jaw in shock. Such a golden long sword was thrown away so casually. You know, Flora's golden short bow was exchanged for more than 10,000 points. And this golden long sword has a wide range of applications, and exchanging tens of thousands of points is like playing.
"She was in a hurry to record the process just now." Qiaxi glanced at the identification scroll that Farah stuffed into his hand, and no longer paid attention to it, let alone looking at the poor golden long sword: "These things are useless to us. Take it if you want it."
"How can I be so embarrassed." Lan Wu smiled shyly, and immediately jumped up to put the long sword into the space bag. I was cheated by these fifteen small amulets and talismans. This time I went to Lu Gaoyin on a business trip, let alone gold equipment, I didn't even have a blank board. If I don't make some money, I will have to move bricks in the future.
Qiaxi laughed and took out a thick notebook and handed it to Lan Wu: "This is the result of my joint research with Farah. Take it and have a look. If you don't understand anything, come to me. When you remember these key points, I will teach you magic forging."
"Thank you." Lan Wu took the notebook and thanked him sincerely. It is better to teach a man how to fish than to give him fish. Qiaxi's kindness is very easy to understand. It is more convenient to learn this craft by yourself than to rely on outsiders. He was embarrassed to bother Qiasi all the time. After all, he was one of the senior officials of the Rogue Camp and had a lot of trivial matters to deal with.
After getting this notebook, Lan Wu officially began to retreat. He moved into the residence specially left for him by Akara and others, and he turned a deaf ear to the outside world and devoted himself to learning.
In this notebook that records the essence of magic forging, Qiasi's roughness and Farah's delicacy are perfectly combined. Just like the characteristics of all barbarians, Qiasi records an overall outline, covering everything from material selection to forging. Farah's record is an excellent supplement, perfecting the key points that Qiasi missed due to carelessness, and sublimating this notebook to the level of a classic.
With the combination of rough and fine, Lan Wu had no difficulty in learning. Under Farah's detailed and tireless description and explanation, magic forging is like a bride on the wedding night, with clothes being gently stripped off one by one, and finally presenting the essence of magic forging.
Five days later, Lan Wu turned over the last page of his notes, feeling indescribably proud. If he had mastered a subject in five days before the time travel, he would have been hailed as a child prodigy. Although it seems exaggerated, it is actually true. He is confident that he can complete his first work.
When he came to the blacksmith shop of Qiasi and Farah again, they did not continue forging, but gathered together to verify each other. However, the two have always been competitors, and the result of mutual verification is naturally a quarrel.
When Lan Wu arrived, the two were arguing so hard that they were almost going to fight to the death. When they saw him coming, they roared in unison: "You come to notarize."
Lan Wu certainly refused to do such a thankless business. He immediately brought out his identity with confidence: "I'm sorry, I'm just a beginner and can't help you."
As he spoke, Lan Wu walked to the furnace. He spit into his palms, rubbed them, and prepared to start his first formal forging.
