"Tell me, what happened when you came back this time?"
"I have something here. See if you can find some people to build it on a large scale."
"What?"
Li Wen took out the drawings he designed.
"Return spell?"
Helen first did not pay attention to the complicated carvings and forging processes of the internal magic circle, but first looked at the names and uses of the things Li Wen took out.
"Well...those chosen ones have a much stronger need for this kind of exercise than ordinary people. This is a magic prop specially prepared for them."
Li Wen gave a rough explanation.
Helen also saw clearly the effectiveness of the return spell.
"It looks pretty good, but it seems to involve a 'mysterious lock' structure, which is difficult for ordinary people to create."
Helen is not an expert in this field, and her knowledge is limited to a general level.
"That's why you need to find someone to build it on a large scale. This is a consumable product, and I'm afraid the demand is huge. I can't do it alone."
Yes, both spells are consumables. This is not a restriction deliberately made by Li Wen.
Everything in the world is relative. The stronger the effect, the more stringent the conditions for achieving it.
Considering the base number of players, the magic materials used in the magic items that carry two teleportation functions and "mystery locks" must not be too rare.
And once the quality of materials is lowered, some negative effects will inevitably be reflected in the actual creation.
Thanks to Li Wen's efforts, this disadvantage is not reflected in the casting distance, but can only be reflected in the durability.
Therefore, both spells can only be used three times.
When it is used up and scrapped, you have to buy a new one.
After listening to Li Wen's description, Helen's eyes narrowed slightly.
"Consumables?"
"Um?"
Consumables are great.
Helen looked at Li Wen, her eyes full of passion.
They are not creators and cannot deprive the Chosen One of its right to use it. Therefore, as manufacturers and dealers, they have no binding effect on the Chosen One.
But if this thing is a consumable, then setting a certain threshold for this kind of consumable, and making some bold players no longer eligible to purchase this kind of thing once they cross a certain limit, can also be regarded as some kind of restriction.
But the premise is that this thing must be sufficiently attractive to the chosen one.
"Let's go! I'll first ask the masters in the city if they can make this thing."
Helen took Li Wen's hand and stood up to leave, full of energy.
…
The answer is, no.
In an alchemy workshop in the city, Helen took Li Wen to find the master craftsman who was trying to make something in the workshop.
There are specialties in the art industry.
There is a group of people who make armor, and there are another group of people who make these delicate gadgets.
Unfortunately, both sides have someone in common.
Faced with Helen's request, Cardia, the most outstanding all-round craftsman in Swordwind City, regretfully said: No.
This is already the second time. Every time Helen takes out some magic items that need to be made by herself, she can’t do them well and can’t understand them.
Almighty? Unable to do anything!
I'm a waste, woo woo~
"Where is the master who provided this blueprint? I want to meet him!"
Cartier stared at Helen and made her request.
Forget about the Demonic Heart Mine Armor from last time, I was just not familiar with it for a while. If I gave him more time and materials to try slowly, I believe I can make it too.
But this time...
can't read!
This magical item called the Return Charm looks like a small piece of jade and is made of a gem material called blue chalcedony.
The price is not expensive, half a palm-sized gem material only costs 50 gold.
However, the solidified magic circle carved with "mysterious locks" inside the gemstone is an existence that I will find difficult to understand for a while.
The same is true for carving a magic circle, whether it is carving on large things or small things, it is obvious that it is more difficult to carve on small things.
The smaller the thing, the more difficult it is to make it accurately, and the accuracy will be limited if it is forcibly made.
Therefore, in the alchemy world, the smaller the gadgets are - such as necklaces, rings, etc., the more difficult it is to create. At the same time, the effect may not be as good as other forms, and the output is also small.
But it can't handle the huge demand.
The size of the shape means how easy it is to carry.
Can a person wear 20 rings or 20 pieces of armor?
Not to mention that this is a complex magic circle that requires the use of mythical locks. It is carved inside a jade stone that is less than half the size of a palm. Doesn’t this cost people’s lives?
Of course, let alone engraving, after all, I can’t even read it.
Hearing the request from the "master" of Sword Wind City, Li Wen stood half a step forward.
The other party glanced at the young and cute Li Wen and ignored him. Although they had met at the dwarf blacksmith shop last time, the identity of the dwarf's friend did not mean anything.
Instead, he looked at Helen again.
"Lord City Lord, I think there is something wrong with that gentleman's thinking. I would like to ask him to... give me some personal opinions."
"oh?"
Li Wen was a little interested and responded: "What do you think?"
Cardia replied subconsciously.
“The materials used are so luxurious!”
“The materials are luxurious?”
Li Wen thought he had heard wrong. He considered the consumption level of most players and deliberately reduced the materials used. If not for the fact that none of the 10-gold level gems could withstand the energy consumption of the teleportation circle, Li Wen would have
Not even willing to use 50 gold level gems.
Is this called luxury?
"Yes! It's so luxurious!"
Cardia nodded, with a solemn expression, pointing to the sample in her hand, "Look what kind of gem this is? Sapphire! Such a piece is probably only 50 gold! 50 gold! It actually carries such a complex magic circle.
! It’s not worthy! How can such a skill be wasted on a 50-gold gem? I suggest that a blue crystal worth at least 500 gold be used to be worthy of the price of this skill!"
"There shouldn't be much blue crystal in stock..."
Li Wen murmured: "And it's too expensive."
Only then did Kadia realize who she was communicating with, and glanced sideways at Li Wen, her eyes full of "Who are you?"
"I didn't discuss this with you."
Then he looked at Helen and said, "Please, Lord City Lord, please recommend that master to me. I would like to consult with that master face to face."
As the most outstanding craftsman in Jianfeng City, and also mastering the most outstanding gemstone skills in Jianfeng City, Cardia also has her own pride.
When facing Helen, it was not a condescending attitude.
With an inexplicable smile on her lips, Helen pursed her lips at Li Wen beside her.
"Na~here."
Cardia repeated Helen's actions and glanced at Helen's side doubtfully - air?
"Here?"
The young and cute Li Wen was selectively ignored.
"This is the master you want."
Helen gestured to Li Wen next to her with her eyes again.
???
So Kadia looked at Li Wen again as if he was constipated.
"Grand...master?"
Li Wen chuckled and pinched his fingertips at him, "I'm not really a master. I'm just trying a little bit."
"Then this gem..."
Li Wen shrugged.
"I also wanted to use the 10-gold blue crystal...but I tried it and it exploded."
There was nothing wrong with the carving of the magic circle, but as soon as it was activated and began to absorb the magic elements in the air, it exploded without a doubt.
"Why?"
"Because we have to consider the difficulty of promotion... If it's too expensive, no one can afford it. If it's too cheap, we can't afford to lose money. So we might as well reduce the cost."
"But...but..."
The new word labor cost could not immediately pop out of the mind of the craftsman Kadia, which made him sweat from the forehead.
"Hey~ I just want to make it possible for most people to be able to use magic items, so that these magic creations are no longer superior."
Li Wen made up a barely passable excuse.
"this……"
Cardia's eyes were slightly stunned, and the teachings of the God of Craftsmen that she had listened to popped up in her mind——
"The purpose of making these magic items is not to make it easier for those groups who are already superior to use the magical power of spells, but to allow those groups who cannot understand the magical power of spells to be illuminated by the brilliance of spells."
Studying in advanced skills for too long has made him forget the first instruction he heard when he was an apprentice.
That’s right bro!
No! That’s right, Master!
I understand.
"But the problem is that I can't do it either..."
Is it so difficult?
Li Wen squinted his eyes, thinking that the Sun and Moon Elves didn't show much reaction when they got the shuttle spell.
"How about you give it a try?"
"I can blow up a basket. Of course, if you're not in a hurry, I can try it slowly...but you have to teach me."
Cardia told the truth and was extremely confident about her level of strength.
"...I'm not free."
Li Wen insisted that he wanted to find a wage earner because he had no time.
"What should we do?"
Li Wen frowned as he spoke. Even the most outstanding craftsmen in Jianfeng City couldn't start masturbating directly. It would be a bit troublesome to open up channels for this thing.
You can't just sit at home and rub your hands without doing anything all day long, right?
"Perhaps we can find an elf?"
Cardia put forward her own opinion, "Their mastery of gemstone skills is generally much more sophisticated than that of us humans."
They are also experts in making magic items. Dwarves are good at bulk items, while elves prefer fine craftsmanship.
This is a characteristic determined by racial nature.
Because you love it, you are good at it.
Of course, the number of true forging masters among humans is not much less than the number of masters among elves and dwarves.
It's just that sometimes, it may be more troublesome to ask for someone from the same race than someone from a different race.
Cardia didn't know what the attitude of those elves would be, but at least she knew what kind of treatment she would receive if she asked other masters.
Not to mention... According to the request of Master Li Wen in front of me, the master's energy is used to make up for the cheapness of the materials, so as to promote this kind of magic item to most ordinary people.
It is estimated that when those masters hear this request, they will immediately turn their backs and talk about large-scale manufacturing.
So the elves who were actively asked to meet by Li Wen were quite surprised.
This is a proud race, but also an innocent race.
Except for the leading elf who seemed a little embarrassed because of what he did at the beginning, the other elves showed considerable enthusiasm for Li Wen's arrival.
"Master Li Wen, you are finally here."
"Long time no see, Master Li Wen."
The passion of these elves shocked Cadia again for a hundred years.
Why is Master Li Wen known to these foreign races wherever he goes?
Could it be...
Li Wen ignored the thoughts of others and just looked at the elves in front of him with a smile.
I have seen a lot of sun and moon elves recently, and looking at these wood elves and high elves, I have a special experience.
The moon elves are gentle, the sun elves are enthusiastic, the wood elves look as quiet as an orchid in an empty valley, and the high elves exude a domineering attitude from the inside out.
Not in a complimentary or derogatory sense, it just feels that way.
"Is Master Li Wen here to discuss the way of elements?"
One of the female wood elves looked at Li Wen with eager eyes.
Li Wen remembered her as the one who blocked the door of his house before and was ruthlessly rejected by him.
"That..."
Li Wen just remembered that there was such a thing, so he laughed, "We'll talk about that later. We have one more thing we want to discuss with you right now."
"What's up?"
The leader of the elf, who looked a little unnatural, asked softly.
"This is a drawing of a magic item that I... designed, but there are not many craftsmen in the city who are qualified to create it, so I would like to ask if you are interested in participating in the channel for this item."
"Um?"
The male elf who took the drawing from Li Wen glanced at it briefly and passed it around to the elf behind him.
"So you want our tribe to help you create some magic items? You should know our pricing for magic items, right?"
While the elf behind him was muttering about the feasibility of the blueprint, including the technical aspects, the leading male elf began to discuss conditions.
In public speaking.
What's more, Li Wen only has a verbal agreement with them now, so that they have a good relationship with each other, but when it comes to doing things, they still have to be clearer.
Although it is undeniable that making magic items is also an important source of income, the elves' making of magic items comes more from personal hobbies.
It is impossible to treat it as a profession like a real craftsman, so while the output is small, the pricing is generally ridiculously expensive.
This is pricing power.
Helen knew this, so she took a step forward and said, "Of course I know, but why don't you take a look at the value and... difficulty of this drawing first, and then we can discuss the price?"
The leading male manager smiled contemptuously, "There is no magic item in this world that we elves cannot create."
At this time, a female wood elf who was roughly discussing the results of the drawing behind her exclaimed, "What an exquisite design, I can see a familiar smell on it."
The leading male elf frowned slightly, and immediately thought of a bad idea - plagiarism?
“A design that has never been seen before, but with a design concept that makes people feel comfortable.”
Another elf spoke up, which solved an unexplained doubt.
Of course familiar.
After all, the main body that Li Wen borrowed from - the fine gold secret key also came from the advanced creation of the elves.
"So, I don't know what you mean?"
Helen stared at each other.
The leading male elf looked at Helen with slightly soft eyes. Even from their elven aesthetics, the human city lord looked somewhat similar to them.
At the same time, he also understood the hidden meaning of his companion.
"We need time to confirm the value of this drawing and decide whether to cooperate."
Helen nodded.
"Okay...how long will it take?"
"Half a day is enough. I will give you an answer in the afternoon."
So Li Wen and others turned around and prepared to leave.
The female wood elf behind him shouted at Li Wen's back again.
"Does Master Li Wen really not consider doing more in-depth research on the elements? According to our Arch Druid's observation, the elements in this world have recently experienced some strange tidal phenomena. I think you should be aware of this.
interested in."
Li Wen just took it as the words of these elves and didn't take it seriously.
I just replied seriously to the other party's suggestion: "Sorry, I've been too busy recently. I still have many more interesting topics that require my energy, so the discussion about elements may have to be left for later.
.I’m really sorry.”
While talking, Li Wen was thinking about what he needed or was going to do next.
Before relying on others to expand the channels, you have to invest your energy in making more return spells and put them on the market so that players can taste the benefits first.
In the early days of starting a business, even the boss has to work~
Moreover, Li Wen's understanding of the "Mystery Lock" also made Li Wen eager to try the Icathia Thunder Shower.
At the same time, Li Wen also wanted to thoroughly train the element control expertise that he had always cared about.
They are all things.
This pursuit of academics made Li Wen's rejection quite reasonable. After all, all mages are like this.
When they encounter something they like, they want to devote all their energy. Before they figure out what they want, it is difficult for them to be interested in other things.
Therefore, it appears more sincere.
The wood elf nodded and accepted the explanation.
…
After leaving, Helen and Li Wen discussed quietly.
"Do you think they will agree to cooperate?"
Li Wen shook his head.
"I don't know~"
Other people's vision is different from your own, so they may not be able to fully realize the true value behind this drawing.
"Instead of counting on them, why not make some myself and put them out to see the effect..."
Li Wen sighed softly and turned to Cardia to invite him, "Is Master Cardia interested in participating in this process?"
