Views:

Abel took out the rune card he got from the Marshall Knight's secret room today. According to the Marshall Knight, the function of this rune card is to repel the enemy. Only the 4th rune Nef meets the description of this ability. .

4#Nef repels the enemy and has +30 defense against long-distance attacks.

This is the first time Abel has seen runes exist in this form. It is very similar to the rune stones in Diablo 2, but the rune stones in Diablo 2 only work when they are embedded in equipment, and the rune card in front of him is To use it after crushing it, the two usages are completely different.

Abel picked up the rune card and studied it carefully. He didn't know what the material used to make the rune card was. It looked like stone but not stone, or wood but not wood. There was no place to ask, so he didn't know.

The runes written on it are roughly the same as the dwarf's magic weapon forging book, except that there are some rune circuits missing, and there are no gems to stimulate them. I don't know what method is used to provide energy.

It turned out that Abel had some contempt for the technology of this world when he forged weapons and made some items. Now he saw the use of runes again, coupled with the legendary 300-year lifespan of wizards, these made Abel Understand, the civilization of this world developed in another way.

According to Abel's thinking, the smartest researchers in the world probably have no idea of studying equipment used by ordinary people, let alone items that improve the daily living standards of ordinary people.

Think about it, almost everyone on earth has a lighter. The wizards in this world probably have fire as long as they stretch out their hands. So why do they need to study lighters? Even if they are developed, it will be convenient for them to use. , I heard from Knight Marshall that wizards basically don’t care about ordinary people’s affairs, and it is difficult for ordinary people to contact them.

In fact, what Abel didn't expect was that his inconspicuous rune card was also a valuable item among trainee wizards. Things used by wizards were very expensive.

Abel slowly traced the runes on the rune card onto the parchment with a rune pen, carefully comparing every detail and striving for perfection.

The next morning, after Abel did the basic knight training, had breakfast, entrusted Black Wind to the housekeeper Lin Sai, and then walked to the temporary blacksmith shop.

Knight Marshall has decided to wait until the orc gathering time on the map before announcing the end of the orc attack, so the castle is full of citizens. The servants have been very busy these days, and two meals for so many people have to be prepared.

In this world, except for the rich and nobles, most people only have two meals a day. After paying a lot of taxes on the land's output, not much can really be left. As a lord, the Marshall Knight also has to hand over a large amount of food every year. To the principality, Harvest City is originally the granary of the principality.

As Abel walked through the square, people at the temporary tent bowed to him from time to time. Abel smiled and nodded to these people. This move spread among the people that the lord's successor, Master Abel, was a kind-hearted man. He is a peaceful and caring person, which makes these people full of hope for the future.

Entering Abel's own operating room, Abel took out a forged Bailian sword with grooves already made on the hilt.

Abel analyzed the raw materials of the four runes recorded in the magic weapon forging book. Most of the basic materials are the same, except that the fire magic runes add fire-attribute plants, while the ice magic runes add some ice. Attribute plants, the electric magic rune ink is added with the blood of electric eels, and the poison magic rune ink is added with highly toxic snake venom.

For the runes with knockback function, Abel wanted to keep the same basic materials in these four runes, and remove the other materials with special attributes.

There are all kinds of materials here. Master Bentham has collected various materials for many years. Especially after Abel successfully forged magic weapons, Master Bentham even assigned various materials tasks in the mercenary guild. The tasks assigned by the mercenary guild can obtain fresher materials.

This is not the first time that Abel has prepared Fu Mo, but this time there is no detailed configuration instructions. He can only explore according to the experience of previous configurations. He has eliminated several materials and changed some balances in the configuration process. If he wants to To correctly configure the new talisman, it is necessary to find a new balance point for these materials.

One part of lost soul grass, one part of bread tree fruit, 20 drops of bitter almond oil, 12 drops of wintergreen oil, 10 drops of jungle frog blood, 8 drops of rosemary, 12 drops of eucalyptus, 5 drops of lemon essence, pure water.

All the materials were taken out. Every time he put in a material, Abel had to think twice about the fusion time of the previous materials, the time of placing the later materials, and the amount of firepower.

Judging the success of the rune ink is still simple. There are wizard-like formulas in this world, and the magic rune ink in Abel's hand is one of them. If the configuration is successful, a faint white light will emit at the moment of success. As long as Seeing the white light flash, it means that Fu Mo has been configured successfully.

For experiments after experiments, Abel adopted a method commonly used by scientists in previous generations, which was recording. Abel used an hourglass to measure time, and then recorded the time of each step and related content in each experiment. .

In the next experiment, Abel made small changes based on the previous record. Abel was very patient. In one day, although Fu Mo's configuration was not successful, Abel's configuration level had made great progress.

Seeing that the materials were only enough for one day of testing tomorrow, Abel found the housekeeper Lindsay and asked him to arrange for someone to go to the mercenary guild to get some materials back.

The configuration went relatively smoothly the next day. At the 86th time in Abel's experimental record, the fu ink flashed a white light. Abel couldn't help but sincerely admire those who developed four fu inks. He didn't do it this time. It is considered a new formula. It just removes some materials from the formula. It also has comparisons with previous formulas and scientific experimental methods. It took 86 times to succeed. Those formulas that use more materials and have no comparison, Abel It’s hard to imagine how long it took them to research it.

Looking at the talisman in his hand, Abel felt a sense of accomplishment in his heart. If the experiment was successful, the value of the talisman in his hand would be higher than the four kinds of talisman, because the talisman in his hand was a talisman with no special properties. Ink should be used more widely.

Taking out the rune pen, Abel began to draw runes. Each rune was clearly understood by Abel. He let go of his mental power. Every detail on the Bailian sword was magnified many times. The rune pen ran smoothly on the back of the sword. The ground was moving, and Abel also added the energy rune circuits based on the four complete rune diagrams that were missing in the original runes.

Abel found that as he often used his mental power to write runes and forge the Hundred Practice Sword, his mental power has now grown slightly. Most people cannot know the growth of his mental power, and it is still a very small increase. , but after Abel wrote the runes, his mental power would be exhausted in the past. After writing the runes this time, there was still a little bit of mental power left.

This discovery made Abel very excited. He had always relied on the help of spiritual power that he had obtained somehow, and he had not found any method to practice spiritual power. With the study of runes, his spiritual power became more and more powerful. The more it is used, the less it can be used.

Especially after Abel discovered that the runes in his hand could be combined into the rune language "Ancient Oath". Because the runes had to be drawn at once, the three runes in the "Ancient Oath" composed of those three runes, his The mental power is simply not enough to draw, and now there is finally a glimmer of hope.

Abel understands in his heart that he is only 13 years old now, and his mental power itself should be able to grow with age. In addition, now that he has found a way to exercise his mental power, he will definitely be able to draw the rune language "Ancient Oath" come out.

In terms of the choice of gems to place in the grooves, Abel chose a diamond composed of three diamonds. This kind of gemstone is the most popular among ladies in this world and is a symbol of love and loyalty.

The reason Abel chose diamond is that it has no attributes and is the most peaceful of all gemstones.
