Regarding the issue of gem inlay, Xiao Han had already thought about it carefully before coming.
With his current strength, if the equipment cannot be inlaid with attribute gems, even if it is a set of artifact equipment, he will not be able to challenge an emperor-level boss alone.
So even though Xuanwu hadn't replied yet, he asked directly: "I have read in many ancient books that in ancient times there seemed to be many craftsmen who could inlay gems into weapons."
"But why have I visited many cities but never met a gemstone craftsman?"
"Gemmaker?" A flash of memory flashed in Xuanwu's eyes, and he said helplessly: "Speaking of this, it's such a long-lasting memory!"
"If nothing else, the inheritance of gem craftsmen has been cut off!"
"The inheritance is cut off?" Xiao Han whispered, and asked with some confusion: "The art of inlaying gems on equipment shouldn't be too difficult, right?"
"Even if the inheritance is cut off for some reason, is it possible that no new gem craftsmen will appear?"
"Oh, you think it's not difficult?" Xuanwu glanced at Han Xiao, shook his head and said, "You think it's too simple to inlay gems."
"Even in ancient times, gemstone craftsmen were extremely scarce."
"The reason why the Abyss Demons were able to be driven back to the Abyss in the first place must be at least 30% of the credit for those master-level gem craftsmen."
"Is it such an exaggeration to claim more than 30% of the credit?" Xiao Han didn't believe it, and asked curiously: "But according to historical records, various tribes drove the demons back to the abyss under the leadership of Master Duan Yuan.
!”
"Duanyuan?"
Xuanwu said with emotion, and continued in a deep voice: "That's true. If there hadn't been Duan Abyss back then, it would have been really not that easy to drive the demons back to the abyss."
"But you have to know that fighting is not just about warriors."
"In fact, many times, if you want to win a war, you still need to rely more on logistics, such as elixirs, weapons, armor, gem inlays, weapon enchantments, etc."
"Only when logistics preparations are in place can soldiers exert their greatest combat effectiveness."
"That's true." Xiao Han said in agreement, and continued: "But even so, what does it have to do with the gem craftsman?"
"Is it possible that by embedding gems on equipment, the combat effectiveness can be greatly improved?"
"Haha, don't you feel a little unbelievable?" Xuanwu chuckled and continued: "You should know the attributes of the Abyss Demon Clan!"
"Since it is a demon, of course it has dark attributes!"
Xiao Han said with certainty, and then said with some confusion: "And as far as I know, the dark attribute is the most domineering attribute."
"It has high resistance to ice, fire, poison and other attributes."
"Even if the gem craftsman inlays gems into the equipment, it may improve some strength, but it will not allow the gem craftsman to take more than 30% of the credit!"
"To say 30% is actually a modest statement." Xuanwu shook his head and continued: "Actually, you are right. Dark attributes are highly resistant to other attributes."
"Because of its unique devouring properties, earth, fire, water, wind, poison, ice, thunder and lightning will all be assimilated by it."
"But among all the attributes, there is one attribute that has a strong restraining effect on it."
"Restraint effect?" Xiao Han repeated in a low voice, understood immediately, and asked hurriedly: "You mean light attribute, inlaying light attribute gems on equipment?"
"Um."
Xuanwu nodded slightly and continued: "Light drives out darkness. Where there is light, there will be no darkness."
"So the light attribute not only restrains the dark attribute, but also doubles the damage done to the demons."
"And it is precisely because of this that the inheritance of gemstone craftsmen was eventually cut off."
"You mean..." Xiao Han paused for a moment and said with surprise: "When the demons invaded in ancient times, all the gem craftsmen were killed by the demons?"
"Hey, it's not like they were all killed." Xuanwu sighed and continued: "But all the gem craftsmen have also received special care from the demons."
"Once discovered, they will launch an attack at all costs."
"At least 90% of the gemstone craftsmen in ancient times were killed by the demons, and less than 10% of the gemstone craftsmen are left, and the total number is less than a hundred."
"But all the master craftsmen have been killed, and the rest continue to be apprentices with little experience."
"So even though there was support for a period of time, the inheritance was eventually cut off."
"Is it really so difficult to inlay gemstones?" Xiao Han said with some disbelief, but his brows furrowed deeply.
If the equipment cannot be equipped with gems, it will definitely be very harmful to him. In the future, he will still be unable to kill an emperor-level boss alone.
If you want to get more resources in the game, you will encounter the Abyss Demon Emperor and the more powerful Abyss Demon Lord in the future.
If the Emperor Boss can't be dealt with, then the Abyss Demon Emperor and Abyss Demon Lord will be even more invincible.
I originally thought that one day I could manifest the Purple Flame Dragon Horse, and if possible, could I also manifest a spiritual vein.
But if you can't kill the Abyss Demon Emperor, how can you get these manifestation talismans.
Thinking about the mutant beasts and the four Jedi in reality, Xiao Han hesitated for a moment and said in a deep voice: "Senior, do you have any books on inlaying in your hand?"
"What, you want to learn mosaic?"
Xuanwu glanced at it in surprise, shook his head and said, "Your talent is still very strong, so don't waste time on inlays."
"No one teaches the mosaic technique, it's almost impossible to learn."
"In gem setting, you need to consider energy balance, and at the same time, you also need to carve magic patterns on the equipment. This is not just about learning the inlay skills."
"Every inlay master must also be a magic pattern master. However, the magic disaster in ancient times not only cut off the inlay inheritance, but also cut off the magic pattern inheritance."
"Now, do you still want to learn?"
"Learn." Xiao Han said one word decisively, and continued in a deep voice: "Since gem setting is so important, it must be brought back to the world."
"The current Demon Lord of the Abyss has begun to make moves."
"I believe that with my talent, even if it cannot be restored to the level of ancient times, I can still research part of it."
"And once I master gem setting, I will be able to face the demons more easily."
"Okay!" Xuanwu didn't say anything more, took out two ancient books and said, "Since you insist, I won't continue to persuade you."
"These two books are introductory textbooks on mosaics and magic patterns."
"As for more advanced teaching materials, even I don't have them in my hands. Perhaps only by finding the treasures left behind by the demon clan when they retreated can we find the master-level mosaic technique and the master-level magic pattern technique!"
With that said, two ancient books flew up and went straight to Xiao Han...
