Compared with the original Kingfisher AAE magic furnace, the biggest difference is that in addition to the significant increase in magic power output, the new magic furnace has two more main interfaces and three auxiliary interfaces, bringing the total number of interfaces to Eleven.
This number of interfaces is naturally among the highest among magic furnaces of this level. This is also a consistent feature of the craftsman-type magic furnace, with multiple interfaces and high mana value. However, this feature does not necessarily mean that it is a craftsman-type magic furnace. The advantages of the magic furnace are actually disadvantages because the extra interfaces are often just the magic storage interface and recharge interface necessary for alchemists, and are not necessary for general combat professional magic furnaces.
On the contrary, these redundant interfaces make this type of magic furnace far inferior to other types of magic furnaces in terms of overload performance and high-temperature working conditions. Of course, for ordinary alchemists, this flaw may be tolerated. Because the alchemist does not need to be in an overload state, let alone keep the magic furnace working at high temperatures for a long time.
But for combat craftsmen with combat needs, these shortcomings are a bit lame, especially when it comes to high-intensity battles. The performance of the magic furnace used by craftsmen is obviously worse than that of magic furnaces used by other combat professions.
Not to mention that the craftsman-type magic furnace has too few main interfaces, resulting in a pitifully small range of optional equipment for combat craftsmen. In addition to a pair of master control gloves, most combat craftsmen only have a portable alchemist in combat status. engine.
For combat craftsmen below level 15, there is no interface for equipping a portable alchemy engine.
Not to mention armor, weapons, etc.
For example, Fang Plover has only been active on the battlefield wearing an alchemist's coat for a long time. He does not have any armor, and the magic furnace does not have a shield plug-in interface. According to the jargon of the selectors, it is almost equivalent to "running naked".
In fact, until the twenty-fifth level, except for the combat craftsmen equipped with the 'Central Nervous' series magic furnace, most combat craftsmen have to get used to 'running naked'.
Only the Imperial Workshop's 'Central Nervous' series of magic furnaces are specially designed for combat craftsmen. They balance the number of main interfaces, auxiliary interfaces, and magic storage interfaces, allowing combat craftsmen to use protective furnaces at lower levels. Armor and weapons and other equipment.
Of course, the price is also high.
Fang Yu actually borrowed this idea when he transformed this magic furnace.
Of course, he originally wanted to directly copy the design of the 'Central Nervous System', but after one try, he realized that he had overthought it. The works of the Imperial Workshop were the brainchild of countless masters. How could he, a beginner, imitate them easily? Although he tried to simplify the requirements as much as possible, it was still difficult to achieve perfection, and the cost of materials doubled again and again. In the end, he had no choice but to reluctantly give up and force the magic furnace to meet the design requirements at the expense of other aspects of its capabilities.
Of course, in this way, using his level of magic technology to forcibly modify the mature design will inevitably affect the overall structure of the magic furnace and greatly reduce the mana capacity of the magic furnace, which was originally the most important thing for craftsmen's magic furnace. Advantages but everything is worth it.
Because the modified design finally made the magic furnace reach almost the same level as other magic furnaces in terms of overload status, and it also expanded an additional main interface.
This means that in addition to reinforced gloves and a portable alchemy engine, he can also equip an armor or other magical equipment. Even because their adventure group has the platform of Mr. Gray Rock, even the interface of the portable alchemy engine can be used.
Save it and install it directly on the 'boat'.
Fang Plover has already thought about what kind of armor route he should take.
Generally speaking, combat craftsmen generally have two choices in armor, light armor or medium armor.
Light armor is to minimize the magic repulsion of metal or leather and adopt the shield style. Medium armor is to adopt a style that favors dodge and dexterity while also providing certain close protection. There is actually a derivative between the two.
The middle route of mithril armor is to take advantage of the better magic affinity of metals such as mithril, which can combine dexterity, protection and shielding.
Of course, that was the choice of the rich man. The only mithril Fang Yu had on hand was the mask, so there was no need to think about it. And because of his rocket flying fist, he was often flying around in battles and was not suitable for those who needed stability.
The shield flow, so his choice naturally can only be medium armor.
His magic skills and knowledge were so different from his armor-making direction that he basically didn’t have to worry about making his own armor, so he bought a pair of needed medium armor as early as in Grande. It was a pair of power breastplates.
, can usually be worn under a coat. The frontal protection of the breastplate itself can provide two hundred points of protection value, but after being connected to the magic furnace, the force field attached to its surface can provide another four hundred points of protection value.
The biggest difference between armor's protection and shield's is that the armor's protection value also depends on the damage reduction brought by its own material and alchemy circle. However, the disadvantage is that the armor's protection cannot be restored on the battlefield using normal means.
Value, needs to be repaired afterwards.
But Fang Plover is different. Since his control ability is far beyond the level of ordinary craftsmen, in addition to the combat structure, he can also plug in an 'engineering machine', which can be used to remotely repair armor. Although it is slow, it is better than nothing.
He changed his armor and couldn't help but wipe it with his hands, making the metal armor shiny. Sophie looked at it and couldn't help but laugh, as if she saw a country bumpkin entering the city, but she also congratulated him.
It’s not the armor she’s congratulating for. This kind of cheap stuff can’t catch her eye. According to Her Royal Highness the Silver Wisland Princess, if she had known that Fang Plover didn’t have armor yet, she could have even brought him a better one.
D-level quality armor.
That kind of rubbish below level 20 is something no one wants in Silver Vislan.
What she congratulated Fang Pliong was that after putting on this set of equipment, the other party finally got out of the novice stage of the Chosen One.
Newcomers before level 15 often only change equipment twice, once at level 5 and once at level 10. Fang Piao directly skipped the time at level 10 due to his own reasons. After level 15, until level 30,
Before the level, it is the most mainstream level for the chosen ones of Aitaria.
Not everyone has the chance to reach levels after level 30 in the Chosen's roughly twenty-year career. At least if you gain experience step by step, even if everything goes smoothly, the Chosen will be able to retire at most.
I reached level thirty-three before.
As for the last two or three levels, as they age, they decline in synchrony with Xinghui, and their strength will actually even decline.
Only those who are truly geniuses, or are lucky enough, or have enough support and resources, can gain enough experience earlier and reach level 30 or above.
But luck does not always exist, and genius does not necessarily always have smooth sailing. More people have exhausted their stars in the process and exited Etalia early.
After level 30, they are basically the backbone of major mercenary groups and adventure teams. They will also have a place among the top guilds in the first world. They can even become core brigade members among those second-tier guilds.
.
Tian Lan also walked over and knocked on his breastplate, and there was a hollow sound underneath the metal armor. This was not an ordinary armor, but a magic armor, a symbol of adventurers and chosen ones.
A hint of envy flashed through the little girl's blue eyes, but she pretended to be curious and hid her expression well, and did not show the envy in her heart.
But when Fang Yu saw her look, how could he not know what this little girl was thinking.
He thought it was time to resolve the issue of the identity of Tianlan's selector. Luo Yu and Jita who were with her both had official identities in the group. Tianlan didn't speak at that time, but he could also see that the other party was still a little lonely.
of.
He looked at Tianlan and said, "Don't worry, Tianlan, I'm already thinking of a way."
The little French girl pretended not to understand what he said, and said indifferently: "Brother Ed, what are you talking about? I'm just curious about your armor. Isn't it heavy?"
It's a bit heavy
Not only the armor, Fang Pulmon loosened the leather strap of the magic furnace. Ed's βae type magic furnace is much larger and heavier than the original magic furnace. If it weren't for the fact that his strength has been increased after upgrading.
, otherwise it would be really hard to carry this thing.
However, he glanced at Tianlan again, knowing that although the other party appeared to be joking on the surface, he always did not fall behind others in the group, whether it was investigating the conspiracy of the Dragon Worship Cult or helping the team manage logistics and funds.
She probably wanted to stay.
He rubbed the hair on his forehead and replied: "Don't worry, actually I already have some clues."
"What's the clue?"
Tianlan was slightly startled and couldn't help but fell silent subconsciously.
Although she pretended not to care, she still couldn't help but ask: "Really, brother Ed?" Although in her impression, she, the 'captain', often habitually embarrassed herself, but at least he
Almost everything I said came true.
He said that he would help Jita and Luo Yu resolve the identity of the Chosen One, but how many people believed that this small adventure group could really convince Tapolis? The agreement was said to be a win-win situation with Tapolis, but
Why does Tapolis want a win-win situation with them?
I remember when Fang Yu said those words, they were just a little-known adventure group consisting of a few aborigines, a few newcomers, and a few trainees.
But it was such a combination that finally accomplished such a thing safely. Looking at Jita and Luo Yu's current appearance, it was impossible for her not to be envious.
Tianlan also clenched her fists and frowned. She actually knew in her heart that she didn't want to go back to that place. Why did she come to Kaolin-Ithulian? Is it exactly for this reason?
But she suddenly came back to her senses, and suddenly realized that she had lost her temper. The little girl blushed, and said loudly and shamelessly: "I hate it so much, brother Ed, why do you have to tell me this in particular? I
Unlike Luo Yu and Jita, I don't care about this identity."
After saying that, he kicked forward angrily, and then ran away with a guilty conscience.
Fang Yu was speechless. What did he say wrong?
But what was even more speechless was Luo Yu, who had just walked over. He looked at his shiny boots that he had just painted, and saw a mud mark on them. He looked up at the others and couldn't help but ask:
"Why did she kick me?"
"Maybe I'm attracted to you." Fang Pliong replied angrily.
Parker expressed doubts about this: "That bad-tempered little girl can also like other people, ouch."
The Papalar man was hit hard on the head by a tinplate can flying from nowhere.
…
Mr. Gray Rock seems to be moving forward slowly, but the surrounding scenery is retreating quickly.
As they walked in the direction of the Ash Mountain Forest, the surrounding scenery became more and more desolate, a barren land. In the distance, there was only a dark rock wall protruding from the snow, forming a valley. The beast of burden was slowly walking into the valley, far away
There is no vegetation everywhere, just white snow and steep rocks rising one after another.
According to local legends, the dragon-slaying hero Yue Xiude killed the evil dragon here a hundred years ago. The dragon's flames burned everything, and finally this ash forest was formed.
Fang Plover raised his head and looked around, and he could clearly smell the smell of sulfur in the air. Even the thick freezing snow and the howling wind could not hide the pungent smell; the smell seemed to have penetrated deeply into the rocks.
On the wall, it was like burned dragon blood flowing down from the rock. Only after the layers dried up did it form the dark color.
Looking at these strange rocks, he could almost imagine the scene a hundred years ago.
Nicol Bolas waved his sky-shielding wings and fell from the sky, falling heavily into the valley. The dragon's blood filled the air and formed a sea of fire. After burning everything, only the land today was left.
The lingering curse.
And the north wind howling in the distance was its wailing sound that day, echoing for a long time, as if the dragon's soul has been lingering here for a hundred years.
"The Vale of Belbog," Sylvester told them, "was the original name of this valley before Nicol Bolas died here."
"Is there originally a valley here?" Parker rubbed the bruise on his forehead and whispered: "Looking at it, I thought it grew out of the ground."
But no one paid attention to the nonsense of the Papalar people.
"Maybe that's true," Except Box nodded seriously. "This place must be very special, otherwise why would Nicol Bolas die here?"
"I think you've got the cause and effect reversed," Parker said over his shoulder.
Xiang Xiang replied calmly: "I just saw that no one was paying attention to you, so I wanted to comfort you."
This made Fang Yu look at these two people and really didn't know who was stupider.
However, he put his hand on his chest. Ever since he entered the valley, he could vaguely feel the Ring of Golden Flame being a little warm again. It seemed that the old gentleman had not lied to him. The Ring of Golden Flame was indeed sensitive to this place.
It's just that he thought of the abandoned castle before. Where was Elmao Keep? There was no mention of that place having any connection with Nicol Bolas in history, but he was there underground in that castle.
While in the tomb, the ring of golden flames clearly had a connection with the bones.
There is also the broken Holy Sword of Moa and the mysterious Rogelsl family, which are also shrouded in mystery.
He touched the ring in his arms through his clothes. The ring was slightly warm. The same was true for the ring when he killed the necromancer. At that time, he also heard a strange sound, which seemed to make him come closer.
past.
Fang Yu knew clearly that the sound should come from that strange power, which clearly coveted the heart that the undead wizard was holding in his hand and the majestic dark power above.
But he did not act as he said at the time, because the power of the ring itself came from such power. Whether it was the original power of Nicol Bolas or the power of the lizardman dark god, it can be said that they are all from the same source.
source.
Because he was afraid that absorbing too much of this power would cause some undesirable changes to the power in the ring, and even he himself would not be able to control it.
However, that force seemed to be very dissatisfied with him because of this, and it has been ignoring him ever since, until now.
Fang Plover raised his head and looked at the surrounding mountain walls.
While he was lost in thought, the lumberjacks below seemed to have made a discovery.
Ms. Kusu climbed to the deck from the ladder, brought them a piece of blood-stained cloth, and said: "This is what my workers found in the valley."
Sophie recognized the origin of the piece of cloth at a glance. The color and shape were the same as those of the Dulun City Guards they had encountered before: "It is the battle robe of the Dulun City Guards."
Fang Plover took the piece of cloth and asked, "Where did you find this thing?"
"There seem to be traces of fighting in the valley below, but I'm not very clear about it..." Ms. Kuisu said that she was not good at analyzing these things. She just ran a logging team and was not an adventure group.
Head of the group.
Fang Yu understood this and asked Miss Aitila to stop Mr. Huiyan before leading everyone to the valley.
While he released the clockwork goblin, he checked the place where the cloth was found. The cloth was taken from a sharp rock. The place happened to be in a leeward place. There was a lot of blood on the rock and other places around it.
.
There were indeed traces of fighting all around. At least Fang Plover recognized the unique traces left by several skills, such as the ranger's penetrating shot and the crossbow shooter's explosive crossbow bolt.
The Papalar crossbowman followed his instructions and searched forward, and also found the broken arrow among the rocks.
In addition, there is a deep staggered scratch on the rock wall, which should be from the swordsman's large cross cut. In addition, there are burn marks left by spells, and there are also many ice spells that cannot be seen in the ice and snow.
Imprints after use.
But this already shows that both warring parties have at least crossbow archers, rangers, swordsmen and more than one spell caster. Generally speaking, if it is the army or other indigenous forces, it is rare to have such a variety of complicated professions.
This shows that the other party in the war is likely to be an adventurer, and even a selector.
Fang Plover threw the broken arrow aside. The blood stains had dried up to the point where they were almost black, and had condensed into a thin shell on the rocks. The battle obviously did not happen not long ago.
However, the commander of Yujing Fort said that this team has been missing for nearly two weeks, which does not seem to be the case. At least judging from the traces here, the battle will not take place for more than a week, and it is obviously not possible to trek all the way from Yujing Fort to this place.
It doesn't take long, just half a day.
He and Sophie looked at each other.
The other party intentionally misled them, which was expected by the two of them. The fact that this mission was real did not mean that the information provided by the other party was also true. After all, these details were not within the scope of the goddess's protection.
What's the point of the other party's panic? What's the purpose of misleading them?
Sophie followed the traces and walked forward while checking something in the valley. Fang Plover also raised his head and looked in that direction. The fight extended all the way forward, not just in this place, but in the shelter of this valley.
The traces are relatively well preserved.
Elsewhere, the previous snowstorm had long since wiped away all traces.
Sophie watched for a while, then came back and said: "They went deep into the valley." Fang Yu nodded when he heard this. He could naturally see this. He could even see further, through his clockwork fairy.
He suddenly remembered something and adjusted the magic buoy on the reinforced gloves to let the clockwork separate in the snowy wind.
It was at this time that Sylvide also brought back the search results from the other side. Miss Ship Officer tightened her shawl collar and handed him a page of scrawled paper. Fang Plover was surrounded by the whistling wind.
He took the piece of paper and flattened it with his hand to take a look. The place where the battle took place and the general topography of the valley were drawn on the paper.
"Although rangers may be better at this job, Miss Alisa is obviously still qualified," Sylvide looked at Fang Plover, with a hint of a school test in her light blue eyes: "Through some of the things left at the scene.
The traces can roughly deduce the offensive and defensive sides. Why, Captain, why don’t you guess who the attacking side is?"
Fang Yu didn't even think about it: "I guess the attackers are probably from the city guard."
Sylvester looked curious: "How did the captain guess it?"
But Fang Yu fiddled with his goggles and shook his head: "I didn't guess that." He seemed to be looking in a certain direction in the snow and wind, and replied: "I just saw..."
"Have you seen them?" Sophie responded.
But Fang Yu looked at the two ladies, raised a finger to his mouth, and made a silent gesture. What he saw was not just these things, the other clockwork fairy also reported something strange.
