Making artifacts is not just a simple technical job. Considering the energy infusion and other aspects of the production process, the personal strength of the craftsmen must also meet certain standards.
The protagonist in entertainment who has no physical strength but can easily create artifacts is basically impossible to exist in reality. At least he must have a pair of unicorn arms that can swing a sledgehammer.
What Aegwynn is good at is not melee weapons, but various high-end magic tools, and staffs are also included in this category.
Since Sarlayan didn't like magic tools in the form of staffs due to his personal fighting habits, Aegwynn changed his mind on the spot.
She plans to make an artifact-level magic tool for Sarlayan that can change its form according to the owner's will.
To be precise, not one piece, but a set.
After looking at the conceptual design drawings drawn by Aegwynn with his superb painting skills, Sarlayan said with some amazement: "I didn't expect that Ms. Aegwynn also has such profound attainments in painting skills. She is indeed an all-round genius recognized by the world. "
Aegwin rolled his eyes angrily: "I don't need to pay any compliments. I just live long enough and have enough time to dabble in all kinds of hobbies."
"That is to say, you high elves live too lazy. If you maintain a short-lived life attitude like me since childhood, even if you just spend time practicing hard, you will be able to master all aspects sooner or later."
Sarlayan smiled and shook his head: "I am self-aware. I really have no talent in certain fields."
"It's better not to be proficient in all aspects. I will only specialize in the fields that I am interested in and have qualifications for."
Aegwynn's design drawing depicts two very exquisite bracelets, one in green and one in gray, representing the two completely opposite forces of life and death respectively.
According to Aegwynn's vision, this set of artifacts will be put on both of Sarlayan's wrists in the form of bracelets when they are normalized, mainly to exert the buff effect of increasing life and death spells.
When necessary, Sarlayan can change the form of the bracelets as needed, combining them into an unconventional staff with sharp spikes on the head.
To put it bluntly, use the staff as a spear.
When combined into a staff, the amplification of two different powers of this set of artifacts can reach the peak explosively. In the form of a bracelet, it will continue to output stably at the rated power.
After receiving Sharlayan's approval, Aegwynn began to transform two precious magical materials.
Due to the serious decline in his own strength, Aegwynn had to rely on the power of Medivh, Jaina, Stellagosa and Tinagosa to decompose the two materials into special ether particles using the principles of alchemy.
After that, Onyxia, the only adult dragon present, used dragon breath to catalyze these two sets of ethers with completely different properties, and added dragon blood mixed with Sarlayan's power characteristics into them.
After the extraction of the material was completed, Aegwynn concentrated on placing the two sets of ethers dyed with different colors on the production table, and used the plasticity ability of enchantment to create two extremely malleable hands according to the standards of the design drawings. ring.
The entire production process lasted for more than a month. When the bracelet was officially formed, the exhausted Aegwynn stumbled back a few steps unsteadily. Medivh hurriedly stepped forward to support his tired mother.
"I'm fine." Aegwynn, who looked a little pale, smiled and said to Medivh, who looked worried: "It's just that I haven't worked hard to make the artifact for too long, and my spirit is too tense. After I suddenly relaxed, the fatigue swept over me exponentially. "
"Just let me sit down and rest for a while."
Perhaps this set of bracelets was filled with Sarlayan's own blood. When the artifact was completed, Sarlayan immediately felt some indescribable calling from the two bracelets.
Following his instinct, he walked to the bracelet that had begun to shake slightly. Sarlayan took a deep breath and put the two bracelets on his wrists one by one.
A magical thing happened. Without Salayan having to do anything, the two bracelets automatically enlarged their diameters, fastened firmly on Salayan's wrist, and then automatically shrunk to the appropriate size.
Sarlayan subconsciously injected the power of life and the power of death into bracelets of two different colors, one green and one gray.
The opposing original forces that should have been in conflict with each other have reached a delicate balance under the mediation of the Spinspeaker's inheritance. Like the Tai Chi yin and yang fish mentioned in the barrage, they are arranged harmoniously on the left and right, without offending each other.
With the assistance of the artifact, Sarlayan's life force and death force were increased by at least 30%, and this was only the rated increase power under normal conditions.
Sarai'an, who was delighted to see the hunter, had a thought, and the two bracelets detached from his wrist at the same time, stretched out in mid-air and joined together to form a two-color "staff" with a sharp tip.
"Hoo! Hoo!"
Sarlayan, who is proficient in various martial arts, waved the staff skillfully, and he could clearly feel that the increase in the two powers of the artifact had increased.
As Sharlayan swung the spear away, wild energy of yin and yang flowed around Aegwynn's workshop.
Medivh, who was well prepared, raised his hand and created an arcane barrier, blocking out all uncontrolled energy.
After "warming up" for a while, Sarlayan, who was in a comfortable mood, finally stopped and gently touched the same sharp stick tail on the ground.
"The weapon is very easy to use, and the increase in strength is also very smooth. It's like an extension of my arm."
Aegwynn rolled his eyes and complained: "Using the staff as a spear, you are the only one who would make such a weird request. I have never made such a non-mainstream artifact in my life."
"Okay, the artifacts have been made successfully. Let's give them names first."
"Um……"
Sarlayan disintegrated the staffs, turned them into bracelets and put them on his wrists again. He lowered his head and thought for a while before tentatively saying: "How about calling it Catastrophe and Rebirth?"
[GodTM Catastrophe and Rebirth, different versions of the Cataclysm, right? 】
[In fact, it is quite appropriate. Catastrophe refers to the power of death with considerable destructive power, while rebirth represents the power of life full of vitality. 】
[The spear formed by the two bracelets...ah, what should the staff be called? 】
[Tai Chi stick? 】
[Not so good, let’s just say Liangyi. 】
Sarlayan adopted Danmaku's suggestion and named the combined staff the Staff of Two Instruments. Its full name is the Staff of Balance of Two Instruments, which means the balance of life and death.
After hearing Sarlayan's answer, Aegwynn shrugged indifferently: "This is your weapon, you can name it whatever you want, as long as you don't regret it later."
"Okay, your commission has been completed, should we prepare to leave for Dalaran?"
"Well..." Sarlayan scratched his head and said, "I'm afraid only you, mother and son, are going to set off together first. We have to go north to the Secret Blue Island to catch up with an invitation."
Medivh, who had traveled to Draenor, was familiar with the Draini. He raised his eyebrows and asked, "Blue Island? Isn't that the new home of the Draini?"
Sarlayan smiled and nodded: "Yes, the person who extended the invitation to me was the spiritual leader of the Draini people - Prophet Velen... But this invitation was sent out several years ago."
"Ha~" Medivh chuckled and shook his head: "Immortals have a different concept of time than humans. For them, a few years may just be a blink of an eye."
"Okay then." Aegwynn, who was still a little tired, moved his stiff neck, making a clicking sound of bones colliding: "Medivh and I will spend one last day recuperating at home, and we will teleport to Nanhai Port early tomorrow morning."
Sarlayan knowingly handed Medivh a badge engraved with the crest of the Shadow Family: "Take this badge and go directly to the South Sea Port Pier. Someone will send you back to the Eastern Kingdom as quickly as possible. I wish you all the best first. All the best."
There is an endless sea between the Eastern Kingdom and Kalimdor. Without the assistance of large energy sources such as the Sunwell and Nordrassil, unless Medivh can restore the demigod state, it is basically impossible to teleport across the sea. of.
Of course, Medivh and Aegwynn can also teleport to the Broken Islands and Kul Tiras for many times, but continuous teleportation in a short period of time is also a problem for Aegwynn, who is old and frail and has a sharp decline in physical fitness. torture.
Instead of enduring the pressure of space teleportation many times, it is better to simply take a boat to a sufficient distance and then teleport directly to the vicinity of Dalaran Floating City.
After bidding farewell to the salty-faced Aegwynn and the smug Medivh, Sarlayan once again transformed into a large gryphon, carrying a group of people and speeding towards the northwest of Kalimdor.
When passing through Ashenvale, the night elf hippogriff knights responsible for guarding the airspace here stopped Sarlayan's transformed griffons and asked them their purpose of coming as usual.
Sarlayan had reported to the top management of the Dark Night Republic through official channels before setting off, and after a simple confirmation, the Horned Eagle Knights readily let him go.
From Ashenvale to the north is the core territory of the night elves.
After flying through Felwood and Darkshore, which had not been contaminated by evil energy at this time, Sarlayan crossed the strait in one go and headed west from the coast of Darkshore, finally arriving at the new home of the Draenei - Bluemyst Island. .
The Draini, who had also known about Sarlayan's arrival for a long time, arranged a special receptionist to wait outside the gate of New Shattrath in advance, and this receptionist was also an acquaintance of Sarlayan.
"Long time no see, Lord Shadow of Quel'Thalas."
This Draini woman in military uniform has a heroic appearance, carrying a long bow on her back as usual, and two short knives hanging on her waist.
This person is none other than Ranger Archbishop Nellie, one of the members of the Council of Bishops that Sharlayan rescued in Draenor a few years ago.
After returning to his human form, Sarlayan politely touched his chest and saluted: "It has indeed been several years since I last saw you, Archbishop Neli. How have you been these past few years?"
The unsmiling Nellie showed a rare smile when she faced Sharlayan, who was leading the Draini people to find a stable new home.
"Very good, this world is very peaceful, but it will take some time to get familiar with the atmosphere and gravity environment of this planet. My rangers also need to relearn the different flora and fauna ecologies of Azeroth and Draenor."
"No matter what, I still want to thank you on behalf of the Draini people for bringing us to settle in Azeroth. The Draini, who have been wandering for many years, finally have a stable foothold."
Nellie solemnly raised her hand and hammered her left chest and said: "In order to maintain this hard-won peace, the Draenei will contribute their own strength to protect Azeroth."
"Duke Deep Shadow, if there is a need to use the Draini, please feel free to ask. The Council of Bishops will never refuse."
