Suddenly there was an extra "unplanned expenditure", which made Liu Yifei's resources even more tense~
The cost of formula materials is closely related to the level of "formula" selected and the amount of materials used. However, the dosage of this part can at least be calculated. Similar to engineering ingredients, as long as the formula is clear and the calculation is correct, the cost can be accurate.
In place.
But after rising to the level of "magic equipment", it's a completely different story...
The reason is that there are big problems with today's "enchantment" technology itself:
Enchanting is roughly divided into two steps nowadays, namely "engraving the array pattern" and "filling the magic guide material".
Engraving array patterns is like "engraving magic circuit diagrams" on basic equipment, but since it is a purely manual operation, it requires the skills of the magician. Excessive force will reduce the material durability of the basic equipment, and light force will cause damage.
If the cross-sectional area of the subsequently filled magic guide material is too small, the entire enchantment effect will be reduced or even directly failed...
The "magic guide material" is also completely prepared by the enchanter. To put it bluntly, it is the magic version of the "magic guide wire". After being molten, it is poured into the engraved inscriptions, and finally cooled, and officially enchanted by the enchanter.
effect……
This is just like in the technological age when you "knock" a circuit board out entirely by hand and expect the circuit board to "work as smoothly as expected". Doesn't that all depend on the craftsmanship of the master technician?
Since the success rate is affected by many detailed factors, in this world with a magical background, doesn’t it mean that there is a “success rate”?
Once the "formula material" is selected for the enchantment base part, the purity, density and other factors of the "alloy" itself cannot be guaranteed under current technology, which further amplifies the enchantment failure rate, which has led to the fact that high-quality magic equipment is now hard to find.
situation ~
Of course, even such a "problematic" technology has actually made considerable progress compared to the ancient "magic pattern weapons"!
The first and most obvious thing is that the main body responsible for magic erosion has changed from "weapon users" to "magic guide materials" with higher magic affinity. In the middle, there is also the barrier of the equipment itself, and the user's safety is finally guaranteed~
Secondly, it is a great reduction in “cost”!
Yes, you read that right~
Although "enchanting" is easy to fail nowadays, in fact, if you really have to calculate it carefully, the manufacturing cost of magic equipment has definitely been reduced.
The big point is that the previous "magic weapons" were almost all consumables. The final product will be completely destroyed by the repeated erosion and erosion of magic power. It is difficult for high-end goods below the [treasure] level to be handed down from ancient times (so Liu Yifei is in the north).
Many of the things I found were junk).
But now, even if the magic equipment is corroded, it will ultimately only destroy the "magic guide material" as the carrier.
As long as there are no problems with the instrument itself and the engraved pattern, adding a new amount of magic guide material can make the magic equipment effective for the second time - from this point of view, it does greatly extend the service life of the magic equipment, and it is even more popular among the powerful.
The pursuit of class.
At the same time, the difficulty of "maintaining" magic equipment has also given some middle- and low-level mages an additional way to make money. Compared with the era of forging magic weapons that was once monopolized by mid-to-high-level mages, today's "new technology" is naturally more popular among the majority of spellcasters.
Welcome...
In other words, Liu Yifei is actually taking advantage of the current equipment upgrade~
His biggest problem is that his appetite is too big!!
He wanted to create a complete set of formula-based standard magic equipment for his originally clean self in one go... Then who would pay if he didn't spend a lot of money?
Fortunately, Liu Yifei did a lot of searching in the north, and most of the "junk" unearthed from ancient tombs or treasure chests were collected by him personally.
These "junk" may have been magic weapons of good quality in the past, but because they did not reach the high quality of "treasures" after all, they still cannot withstand the long-term erosion of time and magic power, so they only have the value of some purified materials...
…
But even such "tatters" really allowed Liu Yifei to obtain a lot of rare magic metals, which greatly reduced Binske's enchantment quotation. Otherwise, Liu Yifei would not have dared to add another magic to the plan with just a slap on the forehead.
belt……
After [Scorching Heat] (off-hand magic dagger), [Jet] (magic boots with greaves) and [Cat Spirit] (magic iron belt) were formed one after another, the next big items in Liu Yifei's plan were:
It is best to choose a magic half-armor with a "constant" impact resistance effect, enchanted with earth or water elements, wrist arm armor with a magic corrosion-reducing effect, and the most important main weapon, a heavy long-handled battle ax!!
At this moment, Binske also understood the reason why Liu Yifei "had no choice but" to use the Ning Shenxiang enchantment on his weapons - this guy's budget was really too tight!
What he didn't expect was that Liu Yifei, the old yinbi, was actually still here silently plotting against the ferocious beasts he was about to hunt in the future...
Considering the importance of life and the terrible threat of "magic erosion", the two finally took advantage of the abundant funds to start refining the wrist armor.
As expected, something really went wrong in the enchanting process in Binsk this time - one of the two wrist armors failed!
Fortunately, the final enchantment failed, which only wasted the enchantment material and did not affect the overall basic parts. Then, with Liu Yifei's prayer to Amitabha, he finally made up for it and completed it successfully——
[Earth Guardian] (Magic Wrist Armor) has the effect of long-term adsorption of earth elemental magic power to the surface of the wrist armor, improving the physical and magic defense resistance of the wrist armor, and indirectly achieving the effect of isolating the transmission of violent external magic power.
At the same time, if Liu Yifei collides the magic wrist armor with force, a two-meter-high circular elemental earth wall will be instantly summoned around him...
The failure of [Earth Guardian] seemed to have interrupted the smooth cooperation between the two. When it came time to make the half-body armor, Binske failed to enchant it twice in a row. Liu Yifei's eyelids jumped as he watched! Cold sweat on his temples.
Everyone is down~
You must know that once in the north of the green field, Liu Yifei was never scared to the point of breaking into a cold sweat even when he faced Strong's pursuit alone. But now, watching the magic-guiding materials being burned in the crazy magic flames again and again, Liu Yifei was...
I just felt that my heart was subconsciously tightening, my breathing was short, and I even felt like a phantom appeared in front of my eyes...
After all, every "firework" means thousands of gold coins disappearing without a trace. With his current net worth, he simply can't support it. How can he not feel distressed?
Compared with Liu Yifei's "always hitting every shot", Binske is actually a little embarrassed~
After all, by comparison, Liu Yifei can complete his part within the plan every time, while Binske fails one after another. Doesn't it seem that he is too incompetent?
However, according to "industry rules", such normal enchantment losses (within three times) are borne by the customizer. Otherwise, how would the enchanters be willing to easily undertake the business of customizing magic weapons for customers?
Even if he felt a little warm, Binske couldn't let go and spare Liu Yifei's expenses... At most, he would deduct the material fee and charge a little less for his "handling fee"... After all, the mage also has to eat.
Yes!!
Fortunately, Binske finally stopped pulling his hips during the third enchantment, which allowed Liu Yifei's financial budget to stop above the deficit red line - if the enchantment is consumed again, it may eventually affect the main weapon.
Forging plan...
The reason why [Invisible Barrier] (Magic Half Armor) is so difficult to enchant is because in order to meet Liu Yifei's request, Binske finally chose to enchant two [Atmospheric Shields] on it!
You must know that [Atmospheric Shield] itself is a third-level magic, and two consecutive enchantments are required on one piece of equipment... If the area of the half-body armor is not large enough, even the enchantment pattern may not be engraved, let alone
Also add [Gathering Demon] at the same time...
In short, this piece of equipment is indeed Binske’s proud work~
[Invisible Barrier] In addition to having an iron-wall-like protection against long-range physical attacks, it also has a significant resistance effect against close physical attacks.
And even if the enemy's huge force is difficult to counteract, the effect of the atmospheric shield will act on Liu Yifei. Before he is hit by the huge force, he will be ejected, as if there is an extra layer between Liu Yifei and the enemy's blow.
Invisible spring buffer is general~
After the [Invisible Barrier] was successfully used and Liu Yifei used it to actually verify its effect, he really couldn't put it down, and he didn't even care about the two previous enchantment failures... Well, to be honest, he couldn't put it down.
I still feel a little distressed~
But being able to exchange for such a protective artifact is definitely hard to find for him at this stage...
After this series of efforts and gains, Liu Yifei collected the materials and money on hand, and repeatedly discussed the final main weapon forging plan with Binske. After the two finally reached a comprehensive consensus, they launched another battle during the weekend.
The furnace is officially open!
Due to various unplanned expenses, Liu Yifei gritted his teeth and only gave Tomahawk a chance to recast it all at most once. If the basic parts he was responsible for were still a one-time pass... maybe Enchanting could barely scrape together three materials?
Anyway, it’s a big difference. Liu Yifei feels that the success rate is still very high~
Liu Yifei had thought of the name of this battle ax in advance, so it was called "Cold Blooded".
And its form is also very different from the ordinary Gouyue battle ax, which may be as long as an arm. If you only look at the "axe" side, this is the specification of a standard short-handled Xuanhua ax, except that the handle is replaced with a
Long handle shape.
However, on the other side of the axe, as if to superfluous, Liu Yifei actually requested to add a "square hammer" shape... In other words, the actual [cold-blooded], the standard name should be "magic heavy long-handled hammer axe"
