The mage arrives

() "I need three copies of arcane fuel for a small magic blast furnace, magic ink made with the blood of rock giants, and an emerald. The quality doesn't matter, even if it's broken."

Hearing the materials Gordon wanted to buy, Durocha, who had a keen sense of business, immediately asked, "Mr. Gordon, do you want to make magic items? This is not an easy task."

Enchanting items requires not only solid theoretical knowledge, but also a lot of practical experience.Every mage attaches great importance to his enchanting skills.

For example, when Gordon worked in a magic workshop, the employer kept absolute secrecy when drawing runes, engraving magic circles, and making items.Only when it is necessary to cast a spell on the item and perform the last enchanting step is it the turn of a wage earner like Gordon to play.

In this situation of strictly guarding against death, Gordon cannot touch the core technology and can only earn some hard money.

The owner of the workshop hired low-level mages like Gordon just to save daily spell slots and increase equipment output.After all, a mage's daily spell slots are limited, and if he casts spells all by himself, he can't make many enchanted items at all.

But it's different now.

In the past, in "The Ancient Era", Gordon, who was a level 20 mage, was himself a master of enchantment.Moreover, in order to get a +5 legendary staff enchanted with sonic and lightning damage, he had done hundreds of tasks with a master-level enchanting master npc to increase his favorability.

Cleaning, cooking, laundry, organizing books, tidying up the enchanting workshop...

During two months of almost servant-like hell life, Gordon cursed the game designer for setting up such a malicious mission to torment the players, and at the same time used the dozens of exclusive runes and unique magic spells of the enchanting master. Array, recorded in the mind.

Although the geography, culture, history, politics, and religious beliefs of the world of Telos are quite different from those of "The Ancient Era", because the world is based on the same setting, there are still many things in common.

For example, Gordon found out that the functions of 74 monosyllable runes and 180 polysyllable runes and the basic principle of the operation of the magic circle are exactly the same in the two worlds by comparing his own cognition with the memory of his predecessor.That's why Gordon was sure that he could apply a lot of knowledge in "The Ancient Era" to this world.

Facing Duro's question, Gordon made up a reason: "Recently, when I was studying the materials left by my mother, I felt that I had made a breakthrough in the field of enchanting, so I decided to start trying to make magic items myself."

"I see."

At the beginning, Duro's smile was a bit formulaic, but now that he heard that Gordon was going to make magic items by himself, he suddenly overflowed with real enthusiasm: "Mr. Gordon, if you make the finished product, can you give it to me?" How about taking a look?"

"Your shop does not appear to contain magic items?"

"It's like this," Duro explained. "The owner of the pharmacy shop next door is going back to the south, so I bought his shop and plan to expand the scope of business and open a shop selling magic items. Recently, I am looking for sources of goods everywhere." , if Mr. Gordon really produced a magic item, I would be happy to buy it at a favorable price."

"Of course." Gordon nodded and made a promise.

A small flawed emerald, two gold coins.A small bottle of magic ink made from the blood of rock giants, forty silver coins.Thirty silver coins for three copies of Ao Neng Fuel, and ten silver coins for a standard No. [-] Shawen paper.

In the blink of an eye, three gold coins became ten silver coins.

Back home, after a little preparation, Gordon began to make his first enchanted item.

Since you want to make money by enchanting items, you have to check the spells you have mastered now.

"System, spell list." Gordon said silently.

Rows of square characters that did not exist in this world appeared before his eyes.

Zero-level spells: light, mage hand, message, ghost sound, flash, ray of frost, arcane mark, prestige, detect magic, detect poison, read magic.

Level [-] spells: Enlarge, Shrink, Door Seal, Pengyu Angel Eye, Feather Fall, Leap, Shield, Magic Missile, Detect Secret Door, Detect Undead, Appraisal, Protection from Negative Energy.

A small number of attack and protection spells, a large number of detection spells from the divination school, and several auxiliary spells.This is the most typical spell preparation of a low-level adventure mage.

Such a mage joins an adventure team and can use auxiliary spells to assist teammates, and by the way act as a communicator and siren.When entering the ruins to explore, cast various reconnaissance spells on yourself, act as a humanoid radar, provide the team with early warnings of traps and magic institutions, and search for secret doors and hidden treasure chests by the way.

Adventurers will certainly welcome a mage who can make a positive contribution to the group.But the problem is that the low-level mages prepared by this kind of spells lack offensive and defensive means, and their self-protection ability is really low.Powerful adventure groups generally have their own dedicated spellcasters, and they look down on Gordon.Although those low-level adventurers welcome any mage to join, their strength is worrying and their self-protection ability is low.Joining a group like that is not much different from committing suicide.

Before that Gordon went out to die once, and he really almost died in the end.

After browsing through the list of spells, Gordon already had a plan.

He first took out the magic blast furnace, put in the fuel, and then put the necklace he got from the skeleton into it.This magical device the size of an incense burner can be used to melt and purify metals.Although it has been around for a few years, this magic stove has three firepower levels and six temperature options, making it a very valuable magic tool.

Arcane fuels like solid alcohol are quickly converted to heat.

Under the tempering of high temperature and the licking of flames, the necklace turned into a ball of liquid.The black oxidation residue was clearly separated.

The flame goes out.

Gordon cast a mage's hand, lifted the hot metal liquid into the air, then picked up the special tool, and started to beat...

Soon, as the silver cooled, a ring was born in Gordon's hands.

The shape is very simple, without any artistic decoration. This is a ring that nobles will not even glance at, and only those country bumpkins who have never seen the world will regard it as a treasure.But for Gordon, who was experiencing the work of a silversmith for the first time, it was enough.

Then Gordon spread out the number one papyrus he had bought.

Shawen paper is made of special plant fibers mixed with several kinds of magic powder, and is widely used to copy magic scrolls and draw magic circles.Different grades of Shawen paper can withstand different levels of arcane energy, and the price also varies greatly.

Using a bee-stylus pen dipped in light green rock giant magic ink, Gordon began to draw on the paper.

"Runes el, ohm, and zod, absorb, store, and release." The three runes are drawn in the center of an equilateral triangle.

Continuing, in the center of the Gordon rune triangle, draw a male body made of simple lines.

"Miniature human body circle. Runes ber, vex, concentration, restriction." Two more runes were drawn on the lower abdomen of the human body circle.

The work of drawing the rune circle must be very careful and meticulous.Because after the pen is written, the magic ink used cannot be wiped or modified.If you don't pay attention, a piece of sandpaper will be wasted.Moreover, the overall layout and geometric configuration of the rune circle have extremely strict requirements.A slightly larger error will cause the final enchantment to fail.Seriously, it may also cause an energy explosion and endanger life.

In a state of high concentration, Gordon worked hard for eight hours before finally drawing the rune array on paper.

After taking a short rest and eating to replenish his strength, he began the next step of work.

First, Gordon set the emerald in the ring.

Emeralds represent life, and are often used in magic enchantments related to life gain.

An emerald ring was made precisely, efficiently and quickly in Gordon's hands, with almost no mistakes.

Gordon would like to thank investing in expertise in "flexible crafting."This feat allows him to increase the success rate by 30% when making strange objects—that is, all kinds of gadgets with magical effects, and the quality of the final product will increase by 20%.

The last step is to enchant the spell.

He first placed the emerald ring in a special groove in the center of the magic workbench.Around this groove, there are magic patterns all over the workbench.

Gordon put the blueprint with the runes and magic circle face down on a transparent crystal plate just below the workbench.

The principle of the magic workbench is to activate the magic circle on the magic workbench driven by arcane energy, and then accurately ablate and engrave the content drawn by the mage on the blueprint on the target item.

Enchanting spellcasting is a must-learn basic course for every mage.This technique is not only useful when making magic equipment, but also needs to be used when making magic potions.

The language and posture components required for enchantment casting are slightly different from ordinary spellcasting, but there are rules to follow. It is not a very complicated technique. Gordon's mage level is not high, but his foundation in this area is still solid.

"Giant Enlargement." Gestures changed, and a few magic syllables were chanted, and a light green ball of light shot out from Gordon's palm, slowly sinking into the magic workbench.

The dark workbench that had absorbed the light sphere suddenly radiated light, and the drawings on the crystal board were instantly reduced to ashes.

Gordon took the ring from its groove.He found that there was an extra magic circle on the body of the ring, and the whole seemed to be formed by carving grooves on the silver with a carving knife, and then pouring metal liquid into it.

"It's done!" Gordon put the ring on his hand and tried the effect.

He nodded in satisfaction, and read softly: "Open the sub-system—Wonderful Object Crafting and Enchanting. Record the enchanting process I just made, and edit the standardized process."

"Understood... Editing is complete, do you want to save the enchantment pattern?"

"Yes."

"Please name the ring."

"The Great Wind Ring."

After the system records, Gordon will perform the same type of enchantment next time. After turning on the auxiliary function of the subsystem, the speed and efficiency of enchanting will be improved, and the work intensity will be reduced, so that he will not be so tired. ;
