The dwarves gave a very unclear adjective. But judging from the actual use, they are all magic materials, and they are divided into three, six, and nine grades. Not all magic materials can carry any kind of magic or runes. There are issues with their suitability and carrying capacity.
Gaia metal is a completely applicable magic material, or there is no magic that it cannot carry. Including some legendary weapons and even artifacts, most of them will have a certain proportion of materials made of Gaia metal.
Especially when making golems, they are used to accommodate summoned beings. As the core of controlling golems, the most top-notch material is Gaia metal.
During the Tower of the Great Sage period, I had too much money and nowhere to spend it, so I bought a bunch of expensive magic materials. Among the affiliated chambers of commerce of Xijia District Chapter, Gaia Metal, which is regarded as the treasure of the store, was bought by someone. The reason why it has been unable to be sold is not that the senior officials of the Chamber of Commerce really want to offer this thing, but that no one can afford it or use it.
Part of it was used when constructing the arcane eye core of the Tower of the Great Sage. What's left is only about the size of a fingernail, and it can't be used to build anything big, but it seems to come in handy right now.
The three people gathered around the campfire felt baffled when they saw someone with a weird smile on his face. But according to past experience, someone will always create something surprising at this time. So they just watched quietly as Lin took out some enchanted props. These are carried around and have very simple functions, but they are difficult to replace.
Because Gaia Metal is a magical material, its appearance can be permanently changed by the Shape spell. But you have to be very careful when it comes to fine details. In addition to having a very clever way of using magic, you also have to rely on your hands.
In order to simplify the production process, Lin first took a relatively large piece of magic metal. Because it wasn't going to be consumed, it was just going to be used as a mold, so Lin didn't think much about it. After first softening the surface with plastic surgery, he pressed the portrait part of the gold coin onto the surface of the metal ingot, leaving a rubbing mark. The next step is to put the softened Gaia metal into the mold and reshape it.
The more difficult part is actually making sure that the plane of the rubbing part is indeed horizontal and that the mold is also horizontal to ensure that the thickness is the same. Fortunately, the spirit level I made at the beginning was not lost. This thing is something that is not available in Mi Di. Although the idea is simple, the structure is also simple. But you can’t just find a substitute if you want to use it temporarily.
Because it is magic, there is no cooldown time or anything like that. Turning over the magic metal that was temporarily used as a mold, he knocked it on the back, and the Gaia metal on which the portrait had been imprinted fell out. Because the mold rubbing was made using a crude method, the details cannot be exactly the same as the original gold coin.
Picking up a carving knife and a small hammer, Lin originally wanted to manually modify the blurred portrait on the Gaia metal to make it the same as the original. But after thinking for a while, he still summoned Halumi. The girl's skillful hands and artistic talent were much better than his.
This can be seen from the fact that Halumi made many pocket watches that were left behind in the academy. Before they left Wulian City, the college commemorative pocket watch was still marketable and priceless.
But the girl who was called looked at her teacher with some displeasure and asked, "You want to make bad money?"
In earth terms, bad money can almost be regarded as counterfeit money, but sometimes it is made by the authorities. Lin was so angry that he laughed at such a question. He gave the girl a slap in the face and said, "Evil money is made from relatively low-value metals and mixed with precious metals. How many bags will it take to make this small gadget the size of a fingernail?" You don’t even think about it if you exchange it for Kir gold coins. This can be used as bad money.”
"Oh." He pouted dissatisfiedly, not knowing whether he was dissatisfied with his teacher's explanation or dissatisfied with being knocked. Anyway, Halumi ran back to the car, found her tools, and prepared to follow the teacher's instructions. After just posing, but before the weight dropped, she frowned and said, "It's so dark, I can't see clearly."
After looking around, Lin also realized that the brightness at night in the wild was indeed not suitable for such delicate work. But this is not a big problem. If there is any magic in Lost Land that I am good at, light magic must rank first.
But what Lin Hui is doing is not holy light, healing or the like. This is entirely because since settling in the Tower of the Great Sage, my research direction has mainly focused on making star maps.
In order to make accurate star maps, observe the subtle spectral changes of visible light, and improve the accuracy of data such as brightness and wavelength, plus the implementation of star map simulation operations and moving basic viewing angles. It can be said that Lin took all the physical changes of light he knew and used the magic of Midi to complete a complete set of theories and implementations.
These studies that focus on astronomy have the side benefit of being able to control the magic of light and brightness at will. For example, in the Tower of the Great Sage, you can simulate sunlight and kill the invading vampires in one fell swoop. Although there is no magic tower now, it is not too difficult to hold a lamp for one's apprentice.
He picked up his usual wand, which was a wand made of magic metal. It is most commonly used to... block the swords slashed by enemies. If he wants to attack, he usually uses the long sword in his other hand. Lin Ke had been pondering the posture of Gandalf the White for a long time. Don't blame the masters for not doing their jobs properly. This kind of thing is normal in Lost Land.
There is a small groove and a small movable metal hook on the top of the staff, which can be installed with standard-sized magic stones. Of course, it can also be replaced or not installed. Generally speaking, Lin would install a blank red magic stone on it. When necessary, it can be used as a source of magic power, and when it is necessary to temporarily write programs or store information, the magic stone can also be used as a carrier.
What he saw in front of him was the use of bright light magic. The brightness was the standard frequency of sunlight during the day, which was also the light brightness that the eyes were most accustomed to.
The strange thing is that even without a lampshade, Lin can only project the light to the area where Halumi wants to work, without spilling to the side. In fact, this is a manifestation of the highly focused light. Taking it a step further, it is the beam trap originally set in the Tower of the Great Sage.
According to the girl's wishes, Lin adjusted the brightness slightly. Since the shape of the portrait has already been roughly made with a mold, Haloumi only needs to make detailed modifications. This little thing was quickly completed with her deft hands. The figure on the Gaia metal is the same as the one on the original gold coin.
Next was Lin's work. He gave Xia Lin the rune stone Sabha he got from the dwarf not long ago, which meant luck. The stone itself is also a magical material, so that runes can be left on it without self-destruction.
Originally, to use dwarven runes, there had to be corresponding runes and patterns to play a specific role. Although a single rune can be effective, it cannot exert its maximum effect.
However, the lucky rune does not have many uses, so there are not many matching decorations, and the function is not what Lin wants. So he only engraved lucky runes on the flat side of the Gaia metal.
Lin filled the traces of runes carved out with a small chisel with ground cobalt stone dust. This is considered to have completed the standard production process of dwarf runes.
Then comes the second difficult point, cutting the original gold coin in half. Moreover, it is quite troublesome to combine the cut-off part with the half surface made of Gaia metal so that it can be as thick as the original gold coin.
Although there is no vernier caliper, how can someone who can measure astronomical distances be stumped by accuracy? Using the whiteboard pen technique, which is actually a variant of the bright light technique, Lin determined the thickness to be cut in half on the original gold coin.
Just in the process of cutting open the gold coins, Lin cut open several gold coins in succession. Finally, Fen, who couldn't stand it anymore, came to help and grabbed the special cutting knife. With a pull of the knife, the gold coin was smoothly cut into two suitable halves. It can only be said that someone is 100% theoretical but fails in practice. There is really no way to refute this.
Picking up the cut gold coin, Lin wanted to glue it with the metal part of Gaia. There are many gluing methods, but since he was in the wild and didn't have many items with him, he chose a very expensive gluing method. That is to grind the magic material star sand into a finer powder and mix it with boundless water, which can be used as the adhesive between the magic material and ordinary materials.
But before gluing the two sides together, Lin put down the coin in his hand like a ghost. After thinking for a while, he mixed cobalt stone dust with dragon blood as ink, and took out the brush he made.
Mi Di did not have a writing brush, and he was not a professional craftsman, so Lin wanted to get a qualified writing brush, but after a lot of hard work. However, after being in the Lost Land for such a long time and working on it intermittently, I still managed to make a few that I was quite satisfied with. As for why this kind of thing was created, it can be regarded as a thought for the earth.
Lin, who had practiced calligraphy for a while, could not say how good his handwriting was, but he could at least tell what the calligraphy was. So he dipped the tip of his pen in ink, picked up the half of the coin made of ordinary material, pointed it at the smooth mirror-like back, and wrote Chinese characters sincerely:
Lancers have been lucky since ancient times
I'm one level higher than the Lancer
...Okay, maybe it's not all Chinese characters, but mixed with English.
Because the area of the coin is very small and Lin is not good at writing micro characters, these fourteen characters are written in the same position. By the end of writing, the cut plane of the coin had become a mess and nothing could be discerned.
I wrote this paragraph because the other side of luck is misfortune. It is not surprising that the two are closely related. Lin didn't need good luck, or he didn't want to let a magic item squander his good luck. When I was on Earth, I was a non-Ti, but all my deeds were made with the blood and tears of my wallet.
So what Lin wants is not a magic item that can bring him good luck, but a magic item that can help him avoid making the worst choices.
But it was a pity that he didn't know how to make such a request, so he wrote his somewhat inexplicable prayer on the other half of the coin in a way similar to praying. Not the best, just not the worst.
After all this was completed, the half-cut coin was bonded to the Gaia metal. Then use the melting method to deal with the joint marks of the round edges.
At this point, Lin finally completed a lucky coin with human heads on both sides...
Neither the Lich nor the two apprentices had anything to say about someone's handiwork and ideas. But what’s the point of creating a coin with the same two sides?
But someone was just smiling complacently at this time, admiring the work he had created.
Suddenly, with a snap of his fingers, Lin flicked the special gold coin into the sky, making a crisp sound. When it fell back in front of him, he swept it with his right hand and patted it on the back of his left hand. He smiled happily and asked the other three people: "Come on, guess, is it a head or a word?"
