[Craftsmanship (Forging +1]
After looking at the prompt that just flashed, Lu Yuan placed the long sword that had just been hilted in his hand with the other seven swords.
After becoming an official assistant, Habaser Delin was finally interested in listening to him, but of course, it was limited to 20 words. So Lu Yuan picked up the hammer and made three long swords with a clanging sound. Then he picked one and handed it to Habaser Delin, and said to him, "This is what I am good at." Then Lu Yuan switched from pharmacy assistant to blacksmithing assistant. At that time, Lu Yuan's forging craftsmanship was level 14 and he could create qualified military weapons, and occasionally he could create weapons of excellent quality.
[Long sword (excellent quality: usually includes a double-edged sword, a combat sword, or a military sword. Sometimes a long sword may only have one edged sword. There is no uniform specification for a long sword, and its form varies depending on culture or region. Different. The most common characteristic of long swords is their length, which usually ranges from thirty-five to forty-seven inches long. In the latter case, the blade usually takes up nearly forty inches. Most long swords Both sides are open and the tip is sharp. However, this kind of sword is still suitable for slashing, not for thrusting.
data:
Damage: 1d8+1
Damage Type: Slashing
Weight: 4 lbs
Weapon Category: Long Sword
Type: one-hand use]
From the data point of view, the long sword of excellent quality only does a little more damage than the ordinary long sword. In essence, its sharpness, toughness, and balance are far superior to those of an ordinary long sword. Such a sword is easier to use, consumes less energy, lasts longer, and is sharper. It is the first choice for mercenaries who cannot afford magic weapons. If they get a high-quality weapon, they will cherish it as a family heirloom.
After many mercenaries save enough money, they will choose to enchant their favorite weapons and strengthen them into magic weapons.
What Lu Yuan gave to Habaser Delin at that time was such a long sword. After being well enchanted and decorated, such a weapon can be sold for hundreds of times the price. For a long time after that, except for studying in Master Habaser Delin's library late at night, he spent most of his time forging iron in the blacksmith's room. In half a year, after integrating some of the knowledge he gained in his previous life, his forging technology has been continuously improved by three levels.
After forging countless daggers, short swords, rapiers, long swords, half-handed swords, and two-handed giant swords, he finally created a long sword of excellent quality. The statistics of such a long sword are even comparable to +1 magic weapons. In terms of overall quality, +1 magic weapons are far behind. Among magic weapons, there are often "freaks" created by mages. They are powerful but difficult to use. It is not surprising that they can hurt themselves.
Creating high-quality weapons has also improved his forging skills to level 17. Now he can create some exotic weapons such as katana swords and giant scythes with a high success rate, and can also make metal armors. , which is a small leap. When it comes to building weapons, his training has basically reached a relatively dead end, and it is difficult to make progress. So Lu Yuan planned to shift to making armor.
The quality of weapons can be divided into five levels: rough (decreased quality, normal (stats unchanged), excellent (increased damage, increased damage, hit points), and excellent (extremely handy). Basically, excellent is the highest quality of general-purpose weapons, and excellent quality is only applicable to For those special weapons designed according to hand shape, weight, strength and habits, etc. Such weapons can exert great power in the hands of its dedicated users. Another channel to improve weapons is to use better materials, such as Black steel, mithril, fine gold, alloys that Lu Yuan knew, etc., Lu Yuan did not have the conditions for.
After staying away from the health-damaging work of alchemy potions, he felt that his body was obviously healthier. Although weapons can also be enchanted, that can only be done by formal mages. "Weapon Enchantment" requires a first- and second-level mage who has mastered first-level spells. "Advanced Weapon Enchantment", "Sharp Edge" and other third-level spells require a fifth-level or above mage to cast. This is different from a small magic apprentice like him. No relationship. He just needs to make a large number of high-quality weapons, and then laugh secretly at the mages who age prematurely due to enchantment.
No matter what, the opportunity to study in the library every day is the most precious.
He will never forget what is most important.
************************
"Look at this, guaranteed to be a surprise!" Nicholas carefully took out a large cloth bag and placed it on the table. This is Lu Yuan's attic. Since Lu Yuan no longer lives here, this place has become a dark hideout for Lu Yuan and Nicholas' transactions. Sometimes his sister "Widowmaker" will also show up. The price of the weapons built by Lu Yuan on the black market is several times the normal price, and it is difficult to buy them.
After Lu Yuan analyzed the formula of the King of Thieves potion, their business grew. Therefore, Lu Yuan will also buy some precious items through them, things that can never be accessed through normal channels. For example, the dark green hard leather that Nicholas unfolded in front of him, the neck skin of the Pterosaur. This magical dragon is eight feet long from head to tail and is the product of a cross between a dragon and a snake-man. It can spit poisonous gas like a dragon, and its vestigial wings can glide briefly; it also has the ability to cast several types of spells. Of course, its main method of combat is hand-to-hand combat. Although this kind of dragon has a low challenge level, it will definitely be a disaster if it encounters a group of pterosaurs.
"Pterodactyl!" Lu Yuan sighed in surprise as he looked at the well-preserved leather.
"Yeah, as far as I know, it's a big guy that's almost 20 feet tall! A whole group of people died for it, and I spent a lot of money to get it for you." Nicholas was not surprised. Seize every opportunity to increase prices.
"Come on, Nicholas. The thing this time is good, but it's just an eight-foot-long little guy. If we encounter a giant winged snake dragon that is almost 20 feet long, I guarantee that no one will come back alive and kill it. It might as well just go slay the dragon. Now let’s talk price.”
After some exchanges, Lu Yuan bought this four-foot-square piece of Yalong skin at a price of 2,000 gold coins per foot. Nicholas took away most of Lu Yuan's belongings and left. After Lu Yuan returned to the laboratory, he began to use various reagents to test the performance of the leather. There is definitely something wrong with the origin of this piece of leather. Nicholas doesn't know how he got it. What is certain is that it must have nothing to do with the hunting process. So he only knew the general situation, but ignored the essential issues. After Lu Yuan's forging process reached level 12, his ability to analyze materials was greatly enhanced. He felt something was wrong at the time and directly hid the abnormal situation.
After analyzing it with magic reagents, he finally determined that it was the neck skin of a rare subspecies of Pterosaurus, the psychic Pterosaurus. Magic items made from this leather would have some very rare effects.
Lu Yuan soaked the leather in the alchemical solution for a full week before the layers of the leather were completely separated. After peeling off the dark green cuticle, layers of leather as smooth and white as silk were revealed, as thin as cicada wings, divided into a dozen layers of white translucent leather of the same size. After drying and polishing, it turned into pure white cotton-like paper, but it was harder than the face. The material was very tough and could not be torn apart by ordinary strength. Lu Yuan cut it into one-foot-square pieces of paper, a total of two hundred and thirty-three pages.
Multiple layers of thick pterygoid skin cuticles are combined and inlaid with brass rivets to make a thick and hard book cover. The spine of the book has a leather strap tied around the waist. The dark green cover is inlaid with scales in the shape of a snake's head, and the snake's eyes are two tiny alexandrites. After binding the pages of the book, he asked Habaser Delin to cast the "Spell Book Making Technique" spell. The usable level of this spell is not high, but the caster level determines the final effect of the spell.
Even Habaser Delin was full of praise for the spell book he made.
When he returned to his laboratory and used the treasured "Appraisal Technique" scroll to identify it, the spell book began to become darker and darker, looking very evil.
["Snake of Darkness": Lu Yuan's Spell Book
Lu Yuan carefully crafted the spell book using the neck leather of the psychic winged snake dragon. Master Habaser Delin's spellcasting fully inspired the power of this book. This book has a total of two hundred and thirty-three pages, and its recording ability is average.
special power:
Toughness: The toughness of this book is close to that of an iron shield.
Magical nourishment: The leather of magical creatures can automatically absorb free magic power, and this book can effectively preserve magic scrolls. And is allowed to cast the "dark spell" once per day.
Enhanced resistance: The wearer has a 30% chance of being immune to poisoning, and immune to the immobilizing effects of "Human Immobilization" and "Spider Web". 】
Lu Yuan tied the "Snake of Darkness" on his belt and walked a few steps, then took it off and tied it to his left upper arm and made several blocking movements. This book is so hard that it can be used as an arm shield. It is really a strange magic book. Fortunately, the attributes are very powerful, especially the immune hold, which can have unexpected effects in battle.
With the magic book in hand, Lu Yuan could finally start copying the spells recorded in the library. General-purpose spells below the third level are not difficult to obtain in the Baldur's Gate area. Even war spells such as "Fireball" are widely used because they are too versatile. So in Master Habaser Delin's library, Lu Yuan quickly collected all the general spells below the third level, and also found a fourth-level spell in an old book that had lost nearly half of its magic power." Roaring" scroll. He carefully inserted the roar spell into the spell book and nourished it with the magic power of the book, hoping to copy or use it one day.
