Crackling, the bonfire exploded into a ball of bright sparks.
The shadows on the faces of the two people beside the fire moved slightly. Tata silently watched the fragments of ashes flying upward in the darkness, and then looked up to see the sparks rising to the treetops before disappearing.
A half-circle of blue moon hung overhead, and its cold silver glow shone on the mountains in the distance.
There is an owl on a tree branch in the distance, with silver-gray feathers, staring motionlessly in a certain direction. It is pitch black there, only the down of some curly plants are glowing, fireflies are flying up and down, and there are dots of light in the ancient forest.
.
After Fang Plover completed the last process, he let out a sigh of relief.
He took out a biscuit from his pocket, broke off a small piece and gave it to her: "This is today's dinner."
Tata sat on her knees on a dead leaf and turned to look at him curiously: "Actually, I don't need to eat."
"But I always feel weird eating alone, and besides, you can't eat much." Fang Yu scratched his head in embarrassment.
"Is there no food left?"
"It doesn't matter, you can always find food in the forest."
Miss Goblin held the biscuit in both hands, was stunned, lowered her head and took a bite. She chewed it gently, and the crumbs of the biscuit were all around her cheeks, and then wiped it with her small hands. It was so cute.
"Is it tasty?"
"The taste of sugar is very sweet."
"Have you never eaten anything before?" Fang Plover asked curiously.
"The dragon soul does not need to eat." Tata answered while holding the biscuits and looking up at him.
"Ah?...Will there be any problems?" Fang Pultru became a little worried again, suspecting that he had done something stupid.
But Tata shook her head. "No," she replied: "The biscuits are very good, thank you."
Fang Plover breathed a sigh of relief.
It had been a day and a night since the two left the elven ruins.
Judging from the relative position of the Dragon Roaring Mountains and the sun during the day, the teleportation array of the Anji Na Temple should have teleported them to the south of the Sea of Ancient Trees. Fang Plover believed that this place should be near Elpaxin - that is to say, they
It is already very close to the Rainbow Bay area.
The direction is basically opposite to Hidden Spring and Kapka.
Tata also agrees with this judgment.
Rainbow Bay is located south of the Sea of Ancient Trees and close to the Sea of Clouds. Because the two floating continents of Talon and Ithulian border here, they form a curved and long coastline of the sky and the sea. The clouds here change iridescence all year round, so it is
Got its name.
And since it is too far away from Kapka, Fang Plover does not plan to return to the Rodale area. He plans to go to Elpaxin first, which is the first of the seven cities in Rainbow Bay and Talon.
The center of commerce and trade in the south, it is also the seat of the Sea of Ancient Trees Artisans Association.
I just happened to pass the alchemist promotion test there, and then find a way to find a boat to Aquin.
There is a land passage from Aquin to Goland Port, the capital of the Kaolin Kingdom, and it only takes half a month to walk. Goland is the registration place of the Dawn Star Adventure Group, where Kaolin-Ishuli
In the headquarters of the Geographical and Explorer Association, there is a huge difference machine that relies on punched paper tape to record and store the status of each registered adventure group.
He wanted to see who else on the Dawn Star had survived. Whether Mr. Quelord and others had left the Dead Zone and escaped. Although it was unlikely, the Red Jackets of Jefflite
Even if you have time to chase him, the others are more likely to be in trouble.
But even if everyone is gone, he will at least inherit and register this name.
Because he promised Miss Scarpet that the Dawn Star would exist forever.
As long as he is still in this world—
Of course, Fang Plover also has his own goals.
Promoting to an official alchemist is just one of them. The more important thing is to accumulate experience and wealth to prepare for your own aerospace ship. For an adventure group determined to go to the second world, its aerospace ship is the minimum equipment.
Of course, this goal is a bit too far away.
A miscellaneous ship below the seventh level is worth at least one million lisels, and this kind of ship cannot sail far away at all. Fang Plover’s goal is at least a sixth-level frigate, the kind of warship with a flying wing structure that is in Kaolin.
-Ithurian's ex-factory price is as high as tens of millions of lisels, and its limited output is also monopolized by Kaulin-Ithurian's navy and major guilds. There is a price but no market.
Fang Yu didn't have much idea about this. He could only take it one step at a time. If that didn't work, he could accept an airship with a boat-like structure. After all, going to the second world itself was not an easy task.
He was never blindly optimistic.
Of course, he also planned to take a side trip to Fenris Island to see the legendary green dragon 'Maguri' there. Fenris Island is located in the open sea between Talon and Aquin, just in the channel of the shuttle boat.
There are rumors that this giant dragon is a wealthy man in the Cloud Sea region, and it is also the nominal vice-president of the Kaolin-Ithurian Craftsmen's Association.
Fang Plover had already heard about this giant dragon with a very interesting experience.
But, the most important thing right now is how to get out of this forest.
Fang Plover couldn't help but touch his belly. After eating the biscuit, his hunger seemed to be more obvious. With dark eyes, he raised his head and looked at this deep forest, which is called Egon.
Li', which means lowland forest, is located on the lower reaches of the Gorgon River and is surrounded by wetlands and swamps. Although it is rich in natural resources, it is also a hundred times more dangerous than its northern part.
He and Tata alone would not be able to get out of this forest no matter what.
But fortunately, he still had something to rely on, and he picked up the work he had just completed - it was a somewhat dim crystal, waxy white in color.
In Aitaria, most people think that non-attributed crystals are the ugliest type of all crystals, because most non-attributed crystals contain impurities and look like cracked and atomized glass from the outside. They are not really crystals at all.
Pure and crystal clear.
But even the most defective non-attributed crystals are outstanding when compared with the one in Fang Plover's hand. At least they still look like crystals, while the latter is more like a wax pillar with sharp ends at both ends.
The beauty is palpable.
However, this ugly crystal is the most beautiful thing in the world in Fang Plover's eyes.
This is the alpha crystal, the original form of the one-type crystal.
It took him a full four hours to make it. It only took ten minutes for him to use the 'Elemental Separation' skill to make a non-attribute crystal. And he used finished materials to make this crystal - the materials were removed from the gloves.
A crystal without attributes came down, which of course also made half of the silver tracks on his dial useless.
But just in time, he also removed the remaining half, leaving only a pair of silver rails.
He also removed the brass dial itself.
Tata sat on her knees and looked at the crystal, her eyes sparkling with fire. "There are still too many impurities, and the magic power is only one-third of the original description." After observing it, she said,
So said.
"There is no way," Fang Yu turned around and smiled bitterly: "Whether it is tools or materials, this is the only condition."
Tata nodded. "So what does Mr. Knight plan to use it for?" she asked again.
"Making walkers," Fang Plover replied: "Apart from clockwork fairies, I can only do this. In fact, I learned this drawing a long time ago, but I have never found a suitable crystal."
The walker is a flexible structure used for combat. As we all know, among the flexible structures, only the clockwork fairy can use non-attribute crystals. Fang Plover's words are quite self-talking. However,
Anyway, Tata didn't care and was still listening quietly, like the best listener.
Fang Yu opened the craftsman skill - this was his first time making under the system framework. He was still a little unskilled and his movements were slightly out of shape. However, this small problem did not trouble him. After all, this person did not have a system in the past.
of hardcore gamers.
He only thought for a moment, then projected the shell drawing, and then adjusted the shape little by little to form a spherical shadow in front of the tower.
"Is this the shell of a clockwork fairy?" Tata was a little surprised.
Fang Plover nodded.
Artisan's craftsmanship is not rigid - it is not a design, it can only be made one way. In fact, a set of design drawings is composed of multiple parts. As long as the selector fully interprets the design drawings,
, you can choose and match by yourself.
However, Fang Yu had mastered these few drawings in the past few months and was already familiar with them.
There are only two key points in the Walker structure. One is the chassis, which is divided into two types: hexapod system and four-legged system. The two chassis styles determine the maximum combat load of the structure. The second is the core crystal, which determines the structure's maximum combat load.
Maximum output power.
As long as these two conditions are met, the shape of other components does not matter.
Compared with the Clockwork Goblin, which mainly considers the lightweight shell, the Walker's defensive shell is much bulkier, so using the former to replace the latter has no problems except for the lack of armor value.
.
Then just pay attention to readjusting the center of gravity position.
Fang Plover methodically moved a piece of rock that had been prepared earlier to serve as a simple workbench. Then he placed the spherical shadow in the center of the workbench, and then placed the removed dial into it. The brass dial immediately became
It became translucent, and many stars appeared inside like the universe.
Large and small light spots are actually the material structure of brass. The better the quality and the higher the strength, the more structural points the material will have. The craftsman needs to concentrate on connecting these light spots during production. Each time the connection is successful, the machine will move forward.
Production progress.
However, if all the structural points have been used but the production progress has not reached 100%, it means that the material structure is damaged and the production will fail accordingly. On the contrary, the more redundant structural points are left when the production is successful, the
The higher the durability of the finished product.
Since the dial itself was a finished product that had been made once, most of the structural points on it were dull and dull. Only a few were still usable. Fang Yu couldn't help but frown slightly after looking at it.
He calculated the production progress.
The total production progress required to make the clockwork fairy shell is as high as one hundred and eighty, and with his current craftsmanship skills, he will gain fifteen to seventeen progress points for each successful connection, and the remaining structure points on the dial are less than
Fifteen, he basically only has one chance to fail.
Fang Plover took a deep breath.
Whether you can walk out of this forest or not depends on this gamble. If you fail, you may die again. The stowaway himself will have fewer stars, and if you die again, there will be no chance of resurrection.
So even he couldn't help but feel a little nervous.
Tata looked at him, then at the dial, opened her mouth, and finally said nothing. She was also worried that it would disturb Fang Plover.
Unexpectedly, it was Fang Yu who spoke first: "Tata, can you see this system?"
"Well," Tata nodded: "It is a system for managing information that is generated by the carrier crystal and the dragon soul."
"Management information——" Fang Yu said, successfully connecting a structural point, as if he was understating it.
Then came the third and fourth times, and it was not until the seventh time that he failed for the first time, but Fang Yu breathed a sigh of relief.
He found that each connection is somewhat like a long-range attack against a structural point. The landing point is a scattering range. It does not require a 100% hit. There can be a certain error, but the greater the error, the greater the working accuracy of each connection.
The lower it is.
Different designs have different minimum process accuracy requirements, but the requirements for the Clockwork Fairy's shell are obviously very low.
He felt he could do it easily.
He immediately went straight to the eighth node, and after success, he connected directly to the end in one breath. When the last structural point was connected, Fang Plover finally relaxed, and the appearance of the dial had turned into a discernible figure in his hand.
Copper hemispherical shell.
Fang Plover picked up the shell and carefully looked at every inch of it in the light of the campfire, feeling a sense of accomplishment in his heart.
In the past, when he made clockwork goblins, he was basically only responsible for the blueprint design and assembly. After all, the shell and various internal parts, including the hinge structure, were all delicate blacksmith work. They were not alchemists like them who had only studied for a few months.
Apprentices can do it.
But once you have a system, it's completely different.
This is the power of the Chosen One.
"Mr. Knight is the most talented alchemist I have ever seen." Tata said suddenly after watching the entire production process without saying a word.
Fang Yu turned around and asked her curiously: "Have you met other alchemists before?"
Tata nodded. "I have some memories, but I can't tell whether they come from books or my own experiences. But in my impression, no alchemist can be so stable."
"Stablize?"
"The craftsman system uses magic power to change the internal structure of materials. It is based on a system of high-intensity spatial analysis and distance judgment. In addition to boosting attributes and skills, it can only be said that Mr. Knight is extraordinary in this aspect.
talent."
Fang was stunned for a moment, remembering that Scarpet and Mr. Querod seemed to have said similar things to him, but the difference was that they were talking about his control of flexible structures.
He couldn't help but look at his hands, wondering if he really had a good talent in this area?
