That night, Cody tossed and turned on the bed with the amethyst coin all night long, until he finally fell asleep and put it under his pillow. Those gold coins that were rare before were no longer known where to put them.
The next day, Cody, who liked to stay in bed, got up early. When he woke up, he took out the amethyst coin under his pillow, held it in his hand and breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, it was not a dream. After kissing her hard for a few times, she remembered to look for the money bag that she had put somewhere. She carefully put the amethyst coin in it and found a place to hide it. Although in the alchemy room, except for him as Master Gan and Jifu who occasionally brought food, no one would care about his little things, but Cody just didn't worry.
I simply took a shower, because I got up much earlier than usual, and Jifu hadn't brought breakfast yet. It happened that Cody didn't feel hungry, so he came to the stone house and took off his shirt, grabbed a sledgehammer in one hand and started swinging it. When he had nothing to do, he still had to strengthen his physical exercise, but he didn't know that there were two in the alchemy room. What's the use of a sledgehammer? Alchemists can't use it. Moreover, it's several times heavier than an ordinary hammer, so ordinary magicians can't use it at all. No matter what it is used for, it is now convenient for Cody.
While Cody was swinging hard, Master Gan and Jifu had arrived at some unknown time. Hearing the movement inside the stone house, they thought that Cody had gotten up for the first time to start today's task. When they went over and saw Cody, who was covered in tendons and meat, he was sweating profusely. .
Seeing what was in Cody's hand, Master Gan was surprised, "Hey, isn't this the hammer with runes engraved on it that the dwarf brought? It was made a long time ago and I forgot to return it. I took it before, and it's quite heavy. . I knew Cody was very strong before, but I didn’t expect that even the dwarf forging hammer could be danced so easily.”
Jifu echoed: "Yes, if you throw away his identity as a magician, Cody might be a good warrior. I came here to deliver food before, and I have seen him doing warrior training many times."
"That's fine. The body of a magician is too weak. Without affecting the practice of magic, the body should be strengthened. A weak body makes it difficult for us to do anything when facing close enemies, including the current ones. The same goes for me. Ordinary enemies are fine, but if there is a powerful warrior approaching, I may not have time to react. But I understand the truth, but few people are willing to waste time to exercise their bodies. After all, magicians have too little time." After Master Gan glanced at Cody, he turned around and returned to the dinner table with Jifu. Since Cody had no intention of stopping, don't disturb him.
Cody didn't stop until he felt tired. He threw away the sledgehammer in his hand, clapped his hands, picked up the clothes next to him and walked outside. At a glance, he saw that Master Gan and Jifu were almost finishing breakfast, so they hurried over. Before they could get closer, Master Gan, who could smell the smell of sweat, immediately stopped Cody, "Go take a shower and change clothes first."
Cody turned around helplessly. I really don't know why Master Gan is so verbose. Isn't it normal for a grown man to smell a little sweaty? He can't smell like those ladies from noble families. Besides, isn't the smell of alchemy smelling worse than this, and I don't think you'd dislike it. But I just complained in my heart, didn't dare to say anything with my mouth, and rinsed it off casually in a hurry. When he returned to the dining table, he didn't care that the breakfast in front of him was already cold, so he grabbed it with his hands and stuffed it into his mouth.
After Cody finished eating, Master Gan said: "I'll let you rest this morning. You don't have to continue refining materials. You can go and refine magic weapons if you want, but you only have one morning. You have other things to do after lunch." Do."
Cody's eyes lit up when he heard that he could rest in the morning. He finally had time to complete his second magic weapon. However, he heard a confused question from behind: "Teacher, what are you doing this afternoon?"
Master Gan stood up and said, "I'll talk to you after lunch, but if you can't make the magic weapon today, or it's still a defective product like your broken bracelet, you have to stay here like an ascetic monk for a while. years."
Hearing the Dervish, Cody looked horrified. If he really wanted to be like those lunatics who only eat, drink and practice, he might as well let himself go to the War College. At least there was rest time in the War College. The Dervish really used everything he had. On the cultivation level.
"Teacher, I think there is no big problem in refining magic weapons, but I don't know if they are defective products. In the past, when refining magic weapons, no matter how well the materials are refined, the runes will fail to be engraved after fusion. The Tuozhi Bracelet is the only one who succeeded." Cody begged with a grimace.
Master Gan grabbed the alchemy manual that Cody had placed carelessly and threw it at him. He said coldly: "There is always a reason for failure. Since the materials are fine, why don't you think about other places? Why don't you read more?" Method? What is your brain used for? A magician is not a fool who can only follow one path. Remember, if you dissatisfy me, you will be prepared to live in a stone house every day." Master Gan was really angry. , he had just read the alchemy manual, and found that only the first few pages had signs of being read, and the content at the back was still brand new. He didn't expect that Cody would be so lazy, and really just read the tasks he told him. The content, more knowledge is not touched at all. At that moment, he wanted to really hang Cody up and beat him up, but considering Cody's usual character, he gave up and could only use other methods to stimulate and force him.
After Master Gan and Jifu left, Cody sat there distressed. He could see that Master Gan was really angry. This was the first time he saw Master Gan so angry. But it's not that easy to refine a complete magic weapon. I don't know how to do it.
But soon Cody remembered Master Gan's words, quickly picked up the alchemy manual, skipped where he had read it, and turned directly to the content at the back. After reading a few times, he slapped himself hard in the face, "Damn, what an idiot. , No wonder the teacher is so angry, the methods are all above, I just didn’t look at it.” Cody, who was originally complaining about Master Gan’s sudden anger, now wants to give himself a few more slaps. In order to cope with Master Gan's tasks, I have not learned the truly important essence at all.
Engraving runes is just the most basic way to increase the attributes of a weapon. It can only simply change some characteristics of the weapon so that it can better accept the magic circle that will be inscribed next. Moreover, simply engraving runes needs to be done after the weapon is formed. Go ahead and operate instead of just doing it after the fusion like you did. No wonder I haven't been able to succeed. As for weapons with only runes, except for some special effects, like Cato's Bracelet, which can block some heat, they are not considered magic weapons at all. They can only be considered magic if they are completely engraved with a magic circle, making the weapon itself imbued with magic. Weapons, no wonder the teacher said Cato's Bracelet was a defective product.
With the idea in mind, Cody immersed himself in the book, memorizing and understanding each step bit by bit.
After finding a method, Cody did not rush to start refining. Instead, he took out all the prepared materials and checked them carefully. The last material was completed yesterday. Now it is just a matter of fusion. There is only one chance. , but you must not make mistakes with the materials. You don’t want to stay in a stone house for a year like an ascetic monk.
Cody picked up all the materials and entered the stone house, ready to start the final steps. However, to be on the safe side, Cody did not take action immediately. Instead, he found a comfortable position to sit down and meditate, adjusting his condition to the best.
At noon, Master Gan and Ji Fu returned to the alchemy room again. As soon as Master Gan entered the alchemy room with some anger, he heard Cody's cheerful voice and unconsciously put a smile on his face. . Judging from Cody's voice, this kid must have succeeded. On the way, Jifu was still telling him whether the requirements for Cody would be too strict, and he was worried that it would be counterproductive. But now it seems that he is worrying too much, this kid just needs pressure.
"Why are you happy, your magic weapon is finished?"
Cody was playing with a silver ring in his hand. He had no idea that Master Gan and Jifu had already arrived. When he heard the sound, he quickly turned back. With an excited look on his face, he handed the ring in his hand to Master Gan and said: "It's done, it's not defective. I will engrave a protective magic circle on it."
Master Gan finally felt the ring, and indeed, as Cody said, the ring contained a protective magic. With mental power activated, an invisible shield appeared in front of him. Although the area it could protect was not large, only about one meter, and the attacks it could block were not very strong. It should only be able to block Cody's own fireball technique. , and it can only be blocked once. If it is used forcefully again before recovery, it is likely to break. However, it is still very good for Cody who has successfully refined a qualified magic weapon for the first time.
Throwing the ring back to Cody, he said calmly: "It's not bad, although it doesn't have much effect. Even if you barely pass this time, if you dare to do something like this again in the future, I will never give you a chance to make up for it, remember not. "
Cody hurriedly caught the ring and put it on his hand. He nodded like a chicken pecking at rice. "Remember it. This will never happen again in the future."
Seeing that Cody agreed happily, Master Gan still didn't believe his words. His nature is hard to change. If such a small thing can change a person's problems, then it would be too easy for people to improve. But I think after this time, Cody will still be more attentive.
"By the way, there's this." Cody said, taking off the bracelet from his hand and holding it in front of Master Gan.
Master Gan looked at Cody in confusion, wondering what he should do with this broken bracelet, but seeing the hopeful look in Cody's eyes, he still reached out to take it. As soon as he got it in his hands, Master Gan felt that there was something different about this defective product. He looked down and found that the surface of the originally crude bracelet had become smooth. Although it was still the same inconspicuous dark gray color, it had some slight differences under the light. luster.
Cody said excitedly: "After I completed the magic ring, I wanted to refining the bracelet of Cato. There happened to be a method for refining it twice in the book, so I gave it a try and inscribed the original runes on it. I went up with a new magic circle, but I didn't expect it to be successful. It's a pity that I can only engrave this one magic circle now, so the two magic weapons have the same guardian magic. But fortunately, Cato's Bracelet still has its original The ability to resist heat.”
After saying that, Cody looked at Master Gan happily, waiting for him to say a few words of praise. Not only did he complete his request, he even perfected the defective bracelet.
Master Gan didn't expect Cody to do so much. It was completely beyond his expectation. This kid just needs a beating. It seems that he will have to be more difficult in the future. Seeing Cody's smiling face, Master Gan lost his temper and said seriously: "Why are you laughing? You think you are already very powerful? This is just the most basic alchemy. Is it worth your happiness? It took so long to refine two pieces. Low-level magic weapons, one of which was once a defective product, yet you still have the nerve to smile."
Cody stopped laughing as if he was being strangled, and instead of being praised, he was scolded. But Cody is also used to it and knows that Master Gan is like this and rarely says good things to anyone.
Jifu looked on and snickered, these two masters and disciples.
Master Gan walked to his own special chair and sat down. He motioned to Jifu to give Cody his lunch and said, "Since you have fulfilled your request, then after eating, go to Bol City and treat it as a hard time." Rest afterwards.”
Cody looked at Master Gan in disbelief with food in his mouth. The teacher actually took the initiative to give him a rest? Where did the sun come from today?
Master Gan continued: "Since you have gone to the city, help me take something out. I will give you the address later. If you can't find it, ask someone yourself."
Depend on. It took me a long time to deliver the goods. I was obviously doing hard work, but they told me to rest. Cody lowered his head to eat, mentally giving Master Gan a middle finger.
