The first step in processing wolf skin is to cut it into a specific shape. This was not difficult, and the technique was not rough. Benjamin controlled the ice scissors and quickly cut the wolf skin.
Next, they have to mix a special dye. So, Benjamin made another combination of ice basin and ice pestle, poured a few ingredients into it, and then started grinding it.
The production of dye also requires the mage to recite a short spell to attract some wind elements. However, with Benjamin's physique, even if he recited the spell ten thousand times, he still couldn't get the wind element. Therefore, he could only ask the landlady to take this step.
However, the boss lady is indeed skilled and efficient in her movements. At this time, she has completed the spinning work.
At Benjamin's reminder, she held up the ice basin, chanted a spell, summoned the wind element, and sprinkled the liquid into the basin like salt into a pot of vegetables.
Suddenly, the liquid in the basin started to churn. Then, the originally dark red breasts suddenly turned into an extremely pure silvery white, with shining silver light, like a basin of microwaved silver water under the light.
Seeing this, Benjamin quickly soaked the cut wolf skin.
According to the instructions on the production diagram, the wolf skin needs to be soaked in for half an hour before the processing is complete. Therefore, considering the efficiency of production, Benjamin had to put the pot aside, turn around, and process other materials.
After reaching this point, the system couldn't help but sigh, "My mother, is this cloak so troublesome to make?"
Benjamin couldn't help it. The storm cloak was already a relatively simple magic prop that he picked out from those production drawings. When it came to making other things, he was dazzled just by looking at the steps, let alone doing them.
However, after being so busy, they only had one piece of material left to process.
They had to trim the Raven's feathers from the natural oval shape into a fixed rectangle, and attach wind elements to them one by one to ensure its magical effectiveness.
This is a relatively tedious job. There are 80 feathers that need to be processed. They can only divide the work and work together to deal with it slowly.
Benjamin used ice scissors to trim the feathers, and handed the trimmed feathers to the proprietress, who then recited a spell and attached the wind element. The general assembly line process improved a lot of efficiency, but despite this, the process of processing feathers still took them more than an hour.
"I can't stand it anymore. I can't hold it anymore mentally. I have to take a rest." The landlady put down the last feather, shook her head, and said.
After cutting feathers for an hour, Benjamin also felt a little dazzled and nodded.
The two had to stop and rest for a while.
After calming down, they turned around and looked at the ice basin where the wolf skins were soaked.
I saw that the original silver-white flesh in the basin had disappeared, and the only thing left was the cut wolf skin. Not only that, the wolf's skin also changed at this moment. The dark gray fur seemed to absorb all the moisture and turned into a brilliant silvery white, which was particularly beautiful.
Not only that, some wind elements have been attracted, surrounding the wolf skin, floating lively like several elves.
Seeing this, Benjamin couldn't help but pick up the wolf skin and stroke it back and forth like a cat. He felt the soft feel of the wolf's skin, and even had the feeling that he was really touching the silver wolf.
It’s so comfortable…
After touching it, Benjamin handed the wolf skin to the proprietress. The proprietress was not like Benjamin, but she showed a professional attitude, pulling and tugging, and nodding expressionlessly from time to time, as if she was judging a piece of fabric.
"Well, it's very soft and feels good to the touch, but it's also extremely tough and breathable. If you use it to make clothes..."
Benjamin wiped his sweat.
The magic materials they worked so hard to produce cannot be used to make clothes for others.
He didn't need to remind him, the landlady naturally knew this too. After lamenting about occupational diseases, she picked up the ice needle and the thread she had spun before, and prepared for the next step.
Benjamin also cheered up.
This is the most critical step in making the storm cloak - they need to thread the thread on the wolf skin in specific steps, just like cross stitch, and embroider a somewhat complicated pattern on the silver wolf skin.
Originally, Benjamin planned to do it himself. But after cutting so many feathers, his eyes were really a little blurry. The proprietress was very experienced in this area, so she volunteered. The original words were, "The things you have embroidered are more than the roads you have traveled." So Benjamin simply gave the job to her.
Just like that, the proprietress sat down on the chair, put the wolf skin and the production diagram on her legs, took the needle in her right hand, and used the thread in her left hand to sew one by one.
From the beginning, her movements were extremely precise and she exuded an aura of sophistication. Because the pattern to be embroidered was very complicated, Benjamin was worried at first whether she would sew it wrong. But after looking at it for a while, he felt relieved and felt that there would be no mistake.
To be honest, if it had not been his first time sewing this thing, Benjamin would have even thought that the boss lady could be like those aunties who knit sweaters, chatting while sewing without stopping.
If you leave this job to her, you will get twice the result with half the effort!
Benjamin also realized that it was a great thing that all the mages in a mage group had become monks in the process. They had their own professions in the past and maintained the diversity of their specialties.
Judging from the production diagram, embroidering this pattern is generally similar to knitting, and may even take a week. However, judging from the skillful skills of the landlady, it should be completed within three or four days, right
In this process, every time a part of the pattern is completed, the mage needs to recite a spell, and then attach the wind element to it. A total of eighty times will be attached before the pattern is completely completed.
Finally, when the pattern is embroidered, they sew the previously processed feathers in specific positions, and the entire storm cloak is completed.
Needless to say, the whole step is complicated, and the mage spends a lot of effort in it. Looking at these steps, Benjamin gradually understood why the production of magic props has not become popular here.
Not only because of the church, but also because of its own production. We are all mages, and we are all people who are proud of their status. Who is willing to spend so much time and energy sewing clothes here with a needle
Regardless of the economic benefits or the quality of the production process, magic potions have crushed magic props. The magic potion is quick to make and has wide applicability. After it is sold, others still need to buy it after using it. Magic props are not necessarily as effective as potions, and they can be used by others for a long time after being sold. They cannot continue to make money, so they are disliked by most mages.
Of course, today, magic props are almost extinct here. Such a cloak would definitely fetch a high price in a complete seller's market.
It can only be said that the Master Freemasonry does not put enough effort into preserving books. They have preserved the forbidden spells that are only valuable for research so well, but they have not preserved the production of magic props at all. They don't know what they are doing.
"This cloak will take a long time to sew. You'd better leave it all to me. I'll take it back and sew it slowly. Will I let you know when it's done?" After a while, the landlady raised her head, rubbed her eyes and said this.
Benjamin woke up from his drowsiness, and naturally nodded hurriedly.
So, the landlady picked up everything and prepared to take it back to her room. Seeing this, Benjamin thought for a moment and handed over the two books again.
"These two books are all about this. They not only have cloaks, but also clothes and robes. Take it and read it." He said, "I'll leave these things to you, okay? Will it disturb your practice?" schedule?"
Hearing this, the landlady waved her hand and said with a smile: "Of course not. I'm not familiar with it yet. Once I'm familiar with it, it will definitely be much faster than this. But you also have to hire a few helpers for me. It doesn't have to be... A mage, just a small textile worker like that, can help me, otherwise this thing will really take too much work."
Benjamin also smiled and nodded.
He might not be able to make the magic props himself, so someone else must be responsible for it. The boss's wife was already doing this, so leaving it to her made Benjamin feel relieved.
As for the textile workers she requested, Benjamin would also find a way to get them. However, he still had to think of some tricks on how to keep the hired people secret and not leak out the production drawings and the like.
In short, in their house, in addition to the prototype of the potion workshop, a prototype of a magic textile factory should also be slowly built.
