"Can you just pick it up and read it?"

Some minerals cannot be touched directly, so Luo Ji asked just in case.

"Your Majesty, please excuse me."

Karl raised his hand and made a "please" gesture.

After confirming that there was no problem, according to the order, Luo Ji, who was standing in front of the tray, first took the egg-sized mithril in his hand and observed it carefully.

The moment he officially bought it, the weight of mithril was much lighter than Luo Ji expected.

In terms of texture, mithril does not have that particularly cold and hard metallic texture. Instead, the overall texture is relatively mild. At the same time, the hardness does not seem to be high.

The faint silver halo emanating from the surface reveals its extraordinaryness invisibly.

Compared to Mithril, which is slightly low-key, Starlight Crystal is really high-profile.

Luo Ji, who didn't know the strength of this special crystal, carefully picked up the starlight crystal with two fingers, then tried to take aim, closed one eye, and used one eye to see the starlight crystal at close range.

He looked at the starlight crystal.

At that moment, Luo Ji clearly saw that within this starlight crystal, which was crystal clear and emitted a strange light, there was actually a brilliant galaxy!

Countless stars are constantly twinkling and intertwining inside, forming the strange starlight on the surface of the starlight crystal.

Luo Ji had already clearly felt the extraordinary qualities of starlight crystals.

Putting down the starlight crystal, Luo Ji turned to look at Karl who was standing next to him.

"Tell me, this newly obtained spell material, compared with the previous star sand, which one is better?"

"If compared with starlight crystals, there is no doubt that starlight crystals are definitely better. This should be a top-notch magic material. But in contrast, the efficiency of producing a batch of starlight crystals is compared with star sand.

There is a time difference of five times, and the output of each time is also very rare."

While talking, Karl picked up one of the starlight crystals.

"For starlight crystals like this, Xingchen Lake can produce no more than five crystals at a time. Currently, it has produced three crystals once and five crystals once. If you want more reliable big data,

Then it will take longer to conduct statistics, at least ten or twenty years, right?"

To be honest, the results of their research have not come out until now, and it has something to do with the slow production of starlight crystals.

This situation was really beyond Luo Ji's expectation.

Although he had thought from the beginning that this starlight crystal might be rare, he did not expect that the output would be so low.

It takes five times longer than Star Sand, but the number of outputs in one wave is extremely small.

"Then, if you use this starlight crystal to forge elemental weapons, how much will it cost to forge an elemental weapon?"

"have no idea."

Karl shrugged and gave an answer that shocked Luo Ji.

Then he immediately explained the reason himself.

"For now, this starlight crystal is too precious. If it is to be used officially, a lot may be lost during the initial attempts. Without His Majesty's approval, we do not dare to use it without authorization. This time we come here as well.

I would like to ask Your Majesty for your opinion."

After hearing this, Luo Ji nodded with understanding.

"What about this Mithril? This amount should be quite considerable, right?"

"Yes, relatively speaking, the output of refining mithril ore is quite considerable."

"How does this compare with Star Sand?"

In response to this problem, Karl thought about it for a while.

"Your Majesty, strictly speaking, although mithril and star sand are both magic materials, they are not of the same type. It is inappropriate to compare them together."

"Not the same type?"

Hearing such a statement for the first time, Luo Ji, who was standing there, couldn't help but frown, and then made a gesture to Karl, indicating that he should continue.

"Your Majesty, strictly speaking, star sand has always been a material with strengthening effects. For example, if an elemental equipment is incorporated with star sand, the elemental conversion efficiency of that elemental equipment will become higher.

High, the power of the spell becomes stronger and the number of casts increases, but it has always been only a strengthening material, not the main material. So, Your Majesty, do you understand?"

"What is the main material?"

Luo Ji could vaguely understand what Karl meant, but he couldn't explain it at all.

"In fact, before the dwarf craftsmen forged elemental alloys, our civilization of all worlds was always short of main materials when making spell equipment."

This answer was something Luo Ji had never expected at all.

"Then, those spells and equipment from the early years..."

"Actually, many compromises were made on the spell equipment in the early years due to insufficient materials. Using steel and star sand to smelt and forge star pattern steel was a move made out of no choice."

"You mean, this mithril was originally supposed to be the main material used to replace steel?"

"Not quite right."

Carl shook his head.

"Mithril is indeed the main material, but steel is actually also needed, because mithril alone is not strong enough, and at the same time, the quantity is not that much. Therefore, according to the traditional craftsmanship of our elves, it is necessary

Mithril and steel are smelted, and the forged Mithril Steel is the main material for making spell equipment. As for whether to add reinforcing materials like star sand during the forging process, it all depends on the conditions at the time, and this starlight

Crystal is also a strengthening material, a strengthening material of a higher level than this star sand."

"Then you should have tested this mithril steel, right? How does it compare with elemental alloys?"

The output of mithril was not low, so Carl and the others must have tested it. Luo Ji was still very interested in the results.

"I can only say that each has its own advantages and disadvantages."

Having said this, Karl thought about it for a while, as if he was organizing the words.

It is not difficult to understand the properties of mithril. They only need to find an elf craftsman opposite and ask. But what they want to test is not this, but various special alloys between mithril and their civilization.

The fit, pros and cons, as well as specific data, in order to confirm this intelligence, they need to conduct very tedious tests.

"The power contained in Mithril Steel is a purer power that has been stripped of its elemental attributes, so as long as it is paired with the corresponding magic crystal or magic core, and supplemented by elven spells, it can forge elemental weapons with any attributes.

Very versatile, but weapons forged from elemental alloys are different."

As he spoke, Karl took a breath.

"Your Majesty, you should know that elemental alloys have properties. Therefore, a piece of fire elemental alloy can only forge fire element weapons. At the same time, some natural environments will have a greater impact on elemental weapons than mithril weapons.

Obviously, for example, on the sea, the power of fire element weapons will decrease. Of course, there are advantages, that is, its blessing of specific element effects will be stronger than mithril weapons."

While speaking, Karl lifted up the cloth on another tray, and then presented a sword inlaid with a second-level wind elemental magic core to Luo Ji's eyes...
