Han Dongwen looked at the piece of paper handed over by Jiang Keyin seriously, his expression a little subtle.
He was very happy that most of the things inside were props and materials he had seen in the game, so he would not be in the dark and lose his direction.
The problem is, these materials are very valuable.
Besides...
"Your Highness, do you have any questions?"
Jiang Keyin leaned over and asked with a smile.
Han Dongwen coughed twice in embarrassment and pointed to the paper in his hand: "Ke'er, can you tell me what these materials are used for, and why is it necessary to be a puppet?"
Jiang Keyin took the order with a smile and pointed at it gently with his finger:
"Your Highness, there are only two important things in the art of human puppetry. The first is whether you have deep skills and whether you are proficient in your techniques. This cannot be relied on externally. It must be done step by step. Then, the second is the training and casting of the puppet itself. , how to design it, and what kind of materials to use, this is something that can be controlled by the outside world.”
Han Dongwen pondered and nodded. This is similar to the positioning in "Que Yin". Puppet master has always been a safer way of playing and is not easy to die in battle.
But also because of the fragility of the body, the puppet master often needs more careful arrangements and investment of resources to strengthen the puppet.
To put it simply, this kind of gameplay is no better than playing with real swords and guns. It requires more brains and costs more money.
Money, Han Dongwen has an entire treasury.
Unfortunately, none of it is his.
In ordinary terms, if he wants to eat delicacies from the mountains and seas, or travel around, he can use this money.
But what he ate and where he went is known to everyone.
This is the difference between "having money" and "having money to spend"!
Obviously, the money from the treasury cannot be used in a big way to build this puppet. Otherwise, Han Dongwen has just been assassinated by the puppet, and then starts to practice puppetry on his own. Even a fool can understand that there is something fishy behind it.
Tantai Fu of the National Military Department is obviously not a fool.
"Puppetry is divided into many types. There are puppets with anthropomorphic forms, and there are also puppets with non-human shapes and more flexible designs. Since His Highness originally requested to learn the art of puppetry, Ke'er was listed according to the standard of ordinary human puppets. This order.”
"The creation of a human puppet is divided into three steps: drawing the skin, drawing the bones, and entering the marrow."
"Forty taels of foreign flower branches, five taels of jade agar, and twenty kilograms of Boyang stone are what is needed for general tracing. On top of this, Ke'er added twelve more feet of golden chrysalis silk for Your Highness. This is for firmness. The skin can withstand ordinary stabs from swords and guns.”
"In addition, thirteen pairs of fire butterfly wings were added to cook together, and they were extracted with ice springs. Therefore, the spells that resist water and fire are given priority."
Han Dongwen was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and suddenly felt as if he was in a computer city setting up computers.
"Well, then this costs a lot of money, right?"
He stretched out a finger tremblingly:
"Does this skin alone cost ten gold dollars?"
Jiang Keyin was stunned for a moment, then burst out laughing. He raised his finger and slowly drew a circle on his chest: "Your Highness is so good at joking. For ten gold yuan, you can probably make such a big piece of skin."
Han Dongwen swallowed, hurriedly withdrew his eyes and shook his head like a rattle: "No, no, no, no, it's too expensive, there's no need."
Hearing what Han Dongwen said, Jiang Keyin sighed: "Is your highness serious? If you don't add these, human beings will be as fragile as ordinary bodies."
Han Dongwen said firmly: "There is no need for this at the moment."
"Okay, then we don't need fire butterfly wings and ice springs, but just golden chrysalis silk?"
"No need for that."
Jiang Keyin nodded regretfully: "Well, just for the three necessary items of flower branches, jade agar and boyang stone, it only costs seven gold yuan in the market. I didn't expect that His Highness would care so much about his own things. I can’t bear to spend money.”
Han Dongwen forced a smile, thinking who wouldn't want to give it up, but I can't sell my kidney if I don't have money.
"Then, what's the price of the bones?"
After Jiang Keyin heard this, he smiled again and said: "One step of drawing the bones is based on two loads of iron from the Li River, ten roots of mahogany, and thirteen pieces of swirling jade. In addition, if you add..."
"stop!"
Han Dongwen held his forehead and stretched out his hand to call out to Jiang Keyin who was about to give him the configuration: "This, how much does this foundation cost?"
Jiang Keyin was not surprised this time, and simply wrote lightly: "The basics are also very cheap, and it can be done for about ten gold dollars."
Ten.
Han Dongwen only felt that his head was a little big. Jiang Keyin saw this and asked with a smile: "Your Highness is afraid that the expenses will be too much and it will be difficult for Mr. Tantai to explain?"
"Huh? Ah, yes."
Han Dongwen nodded prevaricatingly. After all, in Jiang Keyin's view at this moment, he, Han Dongwen, was still sitting on the side of the National Military Department. He only gave the National Legal Department this time for his own little hobbies and selfish desires. .
In this case, she had no reason to pay Han Dongwen the bill herself.
After writing down the required materials in his mind, Han Dongwen felt a little tight in his chest and asked helplessly: "Okay, I have already written down the two steps of painting the skin and bones. How much does the last step cost?"
Even if the knife used to kill a pig is sharpened faster, it would be considered compassionate.
"Oh, the last step is to enter the marrow. This step doesn't cost any money."
Han Dongwen's eyes lit up.
Jiang Keyin paused and then said: "It should be said that this step is beyond the control of Jin Yuan."
"What's the meaning?"
"The purpose of taking this step further is to establish a connection between yourself and your puppet, Your Highness. The closer the connection, the greater the range that your puppet can control. Generally speaking, the best way is to take The bones of the puppet master’s own body…”
Before Jiang Keyin finished speaking, Han Dongwen quickly put his hands on: "Don't stop, I am the first puppet, which is very low in all aspects. Another way."
After listening to his words, Jiang Keyin smiled: "The other way is to look for those genius treasures that are originally related to each other, such as mother-in-law jade, mandarin duck lotus, etc., use one of them to penetrate into the marrow, and the other Keeping it close to you can have a good effect."
"If you don't even have this, you can only rely on splitting the spiritual material into two parts. Usually, you would choose to break the ten-year-old golden bamboo to get the marrow. However, the effect will be greatly reduced. I am afraid that you can only control people within a hundred steps. Puppeted."
If bones are not used, this is actually the step that saves the least money. If the first two steps of skin and bones are the icing on the cake, entering the marrow can be regarded as laying the foundation. Jiang Keyin specifically emphasized how poor the effect of this low configuration is. , I don’t want Han Dongwen to get into Qian’s eyes anymore.
Han Dongwen sat there and groped his chin, muttering: "Is Aojin Bamboo the cheapest... How much does Aojin Bamboo cost?"
He still seemed to want to save money.
Jiang Keyin sighed and said helplessly: "A ten-year golden bamboo that is long enough to be divided into two can be purchased for about fifty gold dollars."
As soon as he said this, Han Dongwen was so frightened that he almost couldn't sit still.
