Chapter 56: Flame Cross Sword
"Ximan, do you have any spirit-enhancing potion? I can pay a high price for it, even if it's twice the market price!" Kaxiu asked Ximan softly after putting away the magic stone.
"Spirit-enhancing potion?" Ximan frowned: "I don't have any spirit-enhancing potion. Even if I get it, I will use it immediately. How can I keep it?"
For wizards, potions are very precious, but among the many potions, potions that can directly enhance mental power are undoubtedly the most precious and rare ones. This kind of potion basically does not circulate on the market. Even if one appears by chance, it will be immediately scrambled for by various forces. How can ordinary wizard apprentices get it?
The reason why Kaxiu asked Ximan was nothing more than thinking that Ximan had a wizard uncle, and maybe he could get the spirit-enhancing potion from Ronald.
"Oh, okay." Hearing that Ximan did not have the spirit-enhancing potion, Kaxiu could only sigh.
Ximan shook his head and walked outside.
Ronald did not give Heman this kind of potion. First, Heman's qualifications were very good, and his meditation speed was fast enough, so there was no need to use the so-called spirit-enhancing potion. Second, although the spirit-enhancing potion could improve mental strength, it had side effects. Although the side effects were very small, they did have a slight impact on the promotion to a formal wizard. This was why Ronald did not give Heman the spirit-enhancing potion.
Heman returned to his residence and walked into the laboratory on the fourth floor. He washed the magic materials he had just purchased and then placed them on the table one by one.
Heman is now a second-class wizard apprentice, and he has mastered the relevant basic witchcraft. It is time to take on some simple and low-risk tasks to test them. Heman does not want to be a research wizard.
If he wants to carry out the mission, he will inevitably encounter danger during the period. Heman already has a defensive high-level magic item, and what he lacks is an offensive magic item.
Ximan was going to refine an offensive medium-level magic item for himself. In addition to being a wizard apprentice, Ximan was also a high-level knight close to the Grand Knight. He was very experienced in swordsmanship, so Ximan decided to refine a cross sword for himself as his offensive magic item.
"Let's get started." Ximan put the required materials into the smelting furnace. Under the high-temperature smelting, the materials inside quickly turned into a pool of liquid. After Ximan took out the liquid, he continued to process other materials and mix them into the liquid.
On the test bench, Ximan opened a well-sealed box and took out some silver-white powder from it and mixed it into the liquid.
These powders are mithril powder, which is a high-level magic material with good elemental conduction properties. It is widely used in the refining of magic items and the construction of witch arrays. It is expensive. Just this little bit of powder requires more than 20 magic stones.
If this magic item was not for his own refining, Ximan would not be willing to add mithril powder.
After Heman poured the liquid into the mold to set it, Heman took out the liquid mixed with fire element magic stone powder and gold sand and began to carve on the sword embryo.
During this process, Heman could clearly sense the extremely weak fluctuations on the carved lines.
That was the fluctuation of the element particles contained in the sword embryo.
Heman concentrated his attention and used his mental power to attract the surrounding fire element particles, gathering them on the lines he carved, and reacting with them in a unique way.
In this process, in order to prevent problems with the carving, Heman must concentrate and carefully ensure the correctness and smoothness of the lines to avoid mistakes.
This is a very complicated process, which requires high operating accuracy from the wizard himself, and even higher requirements for mental control. The more complicated and dense the carved lines are, the greater the burden on the wizard.
One and a half hours later.
On the experimental table in front of Heman, in addition to some material residues and scraps, there was only a cross sword flashing a faint red light.
"I succeeded in the first refining!!" Ximan stood in front of the test bench, looking at the cross sword in front of him, with a hint of joy in his eyes.
Although he had practiced many times, this was the first time he truly refined a medium-level magic item, and the quality of this magic item was also top-notch even among medium-level magic items.
This cross sword is made of more than 20 kinds of magic materials such as mithril, black crystal, gold sand, etc. It is normal that the finished product is far superior to ordinary medium-level magic items.
Ximan picked up the cross sword, and his mental power poured into it. He saw a thin layer of flames on the cross sword, and a scorching temperature immediately dissipated.
Ximan took the cross sword and gently waved it at the remaining scraps on the test bench, and the scraps were easily divided into two halves. And there were signs of melting at the place where it was cut.
"Not bad!" Ximan's eyes lit up and nodded with satisfaction.
…………
Ximan spent three days to get thoroughly familiar with the cross sword before he was ready to take the task.
The mission area is a very special place in the academy, with many wizard apprentices coming and going.
You should know that more than half of the wizard apprentices in the academy are wizard apprentices without background or lack of resources. The use of areas such as the experimental area and the witchcraft experimental area in the academy requires the payment of magic stones, not to mention the learning of advanced knowledge and the acquisition of basic witchcraft templates.
The mission area is an important source for these wizard apprentices to obtain magic stones. The academy will publish some things that wizard apprentices need to do in the form of tasks, and wizard apprentices who meet the conditions can accept them.
In addition, if necessary, some formal wizards or wizard apprentices can post tasks in the mission area and be picked up by the wizard apprentices.
When Seaman entered the mission area, he saw a wide variety of wizard apprentices gathered in the vast area. Most of the wizard apprentices were second-class wizard apprentices, and a small number were first-class and third-class wizard apprentices. Each third-class wizard There are many people surrounding the apprentice.
Seaman also saw several apprentices covered in blood, and their faces were a little pale.
In the middle of the task area is a huge gray stone slab with various tasks densely listed on it.
The fonts in different colors shine fluorescently on the gray slate and look very eye-catching.
This stone slab is a unique demonized material that can preserve the spiritual message of the wizard, keeping some information inside and displaying it.
Different tasks are displayed in different colors. Green represents the low risk of the task, and similarly, the reward is also the lowest. Red means the task is dangerous, and the darker the color, the higher the risk.
As for black, it represents extremely high danger. Only third-class wizard apprentices can take it, and the rewards are the most generous.
