Wizard: I brought the wrong system.

Chapter 128 Constructing the Silver Core

As dawn broke, Yaro emerged wearily from the mysterious palace.

The result of these hours of hard work, apart from having 300 pounds of fluorescent powder left, was that most of the experience points were added to 'Magic Strike' and 'Fiery Sword Technique'. Only a small amount of experience points from 'Cat Climbing Tree' and 'Cat Running' were converted into personal experience.

……

[Remaining skill points: 2]

[Personal Level LV20: 5687/30000]

……

This shows that the higher the level of martial arts skills, the better is not necessarily true.

For example, the previously designed "Nine Turns Linked Steps" and "Nine Yang Divine Fist" both have nine layers of design.

The results of it?
Further level upgrades only slightly increase one's control over magic tricks, without significantly improving overall strength.

As the saying goes, "once bitten, twice shy," Yaro no longer deliberately raised the level of martial arts techniques he designed afterward.

There are as many layers as there should be, but techniques like the 'Blazing Sword Technique' simply don't have any layers designed, allowing it to use the system's 'low', 'medium', and 'high' as ​​distinctions.

However, none of his main combat skills are currently at max level, and his experience gain has reached a bottleneck.

……

Following Bosco's instructions, Yaro dug a hole in the courtyard and buried the fluorescent powder along with the small wooden ball inside.

"I don't know how effective the fluorescent powder will be, but I hope it can help you."

Yaro shook his head.

After finishing these tasks, he felt much more at ease.

Dragging my tired body, I went into the bedroom and, ignoring the bright daylight, fell into a deep sleep.

……

He slept soundly without any dreams. When Yaro woke up again, the moon and stars were sparse outside the window, and it was already late at night.

Stretching comfortably, Yaro rubbed his eyes, sat up listlessly, stared blankly at the empty space before him, and pondered what he should do.

"Researching the airship's propulsion core?"

Yaro shook his head.

First, you need to determine if you are in a safe situation!
Will I be in danger?
Yaro thought of the wizard 'Dora' that Bosco had mentioned earlier.

Because of the oath, 'Dora' wouldn't directly attack him, so why did she speak up earlier and clarify her relationship with the wizard Bosco?

What is the content of Dora's oath?
Pretending to be a stranger, pretending to ignore!
Therefore, she could only take advantage of the situation at the time to launch an attack on herself.

But once Bosco clarified the relationship, Dora's direct threat could be temporarily ignored.

So, will other wizards try to sabotage him?
Yaro pondered for a long time but could not make any judgment.

From a rational perspective, since everyone knows that Bosco doesn't have many years left to live, it's unlikely that anyone would try to provoke him in his final years.

Even if they wanted to take their anger out on me, I could wait a few more years until Bosco died, then I could do whatever I wanted with him.

However, many things cannot be fully answered by rational thinking alone.

For example... the issue of the college's succession rights?
Bosco has already resigned from his position as dean, and a new dean has been in office for a long time, so there shouldn't be any problems in this regard.

However, it cannot be completely ruled out.

If someone covets some of Bosco's secret techniques, they might capture him to extract those techniques.

From multiple perspectives, the academy at this moment is both dangerous and safe, making it impossible to make an accurate judgment.

"Thinking about it won't help!" Yaro scratched his messy blond hair in annoyance.

"I'm not going to think about it anymore. I'll just pretend I didn't see it and continue to strengthen myself at my own pace!"

The crisis seemed imminent, but Yaro couldn't afford to throw the baby out with the bathwater and just stay by Bosco's side doing nothing all day.

If that's the case, there's no need to wait for danger to erupt; Boskov would refuse immediately.

Not to mention that Bosco doesn't have many years left to live, if we rely entirely on him, it's a slow death for him.

"Let's make the Fiery Sword first!"

Yaro didn't expect perfection; he planned to make a few samples first.

Just like 'Magic Fighting Technique', many problems can only be discovered after you get started.

After washing up briefly, Yaro headed towards the underground laboratory.

First, he took out paper and pen and began to write and draw.

He plans to optimize the structure of the blade first.

Once the 'Magic Strike Technique' is acquired, a previously overlooked problem becomes magnified: without modification, the power of the Fiery Longsword will be significantly weakened.

How should we utilize the air-cooling effect?

The Fiery Longsword in front, apart from the 'molten stone' embedded in its blade structure, is made based on the 'knight's longsword' as its overall shape.

When in use, heat is released from Yaro's palm and conducted to the blade.

The final effect is like wielding a red-hot iron rod.

However, this iron rod-like structure will naturally allow the wind to carry away the heat.

What's the best way?
"Use oxygen!"

The cooling effect is unavoidable, so it's better to let it burn. The faster the combustion, the more oxygen flows through, and the better the combustion effect!
Yaro wrote on the scrap paper: "Therefore, we can no longer use a one-piece structure. The places where the hot molten stone is embedded should be hollowed out."

Extensive hollowing will reduce the hardness of the sword blade, but if only a small amount of hollowing is done on the surface, the main structure remains unchanged, and the change in hardness will not be significant.

"However, the consumption of hot molten stone will also be accelerated when it is burning, so it is best to adjust the blade to a replaceable hollow design."

Yaro only noted this down for now, so that he could pay more attention to it later when using a diamond structure as the main body. Right now, he only planned to practice with ordinary steel. Even if the hot molten stone was used up, he could replace it at any time with his alchemy skills.

After clearing his mind, Yarrow began to paint the main subject.

The first material that needs to be refined is 'metallic silver', which serves as the core temperature conductor.

First, draw a circle; this is the core circuit for temperature conduction.

Then, on the hilt, numerous large pins are arranged in a 'starry sky' pattern, with the pin heads facing outwards and the inside connected to the main body by a silver wire.

The purpose of the nail head is to collect the heat conducted by the palm. The hollow part in the middle will be filled with steel later to stabilize the sword.

Next is the arrangement of the blade. Since it will be inlaid with replaceable hot melt stone, which has very poor hardness, the only option is to make the silver metal hollow outwards and use multiple lines to conduct heat to the 'hot melt stone' on the outside of the blade.

……

After completing the design, Yarrow took out the silver ingots and melted them down.

The melting point of metallic silver is about 1,000 degrees Celsius, which is much lower than that of iron, which is 1,500 degrees Celsius.

With the help of the heat-melting technique, Yaro had ample time to use his magical hands to shape the object.

Yaro had studied sculpting in his childhood, so kneading the soft 'silver' was as easy as playing with mud; it posed no challenge for him whatsoever.

The silver core structure was quickly completed.
