To fight against his clan, Cohen naturally needs tools at his disposal. No matter how well his plan is implemented, he will always have a direct conflict with gods and demons in the end. The scale of such conflicts should not be large, with dozens or even dozens of people at most.
It's just a few people, but equipment is indispensable. Especially driven by the mentality of not making reservations, his requirements for weapons are even more stringent.
Maybe you don't need too many, but you must have some. Even if he can only arm himself, he can barely cope with some situations.
However, most of Cohen's current weapons were given by the Gods. The hidden dangers of using these weapons to attack their owners during a rebellion are too great. However, it is not an easy task to obtain weapons and armor that can compete with the superior clan.
Fortunately, Cohen's rebellious intentions had long been buried, and he was fully prepared in terms of materials and technology.
After Cohen's detailed explanation and task assignment, everyone finally understood what he wanted to do. After two days of hard thinking, everyone finally came up with a "theoretically feasible" plan. Cohen waved his hand and he
One of the core secrets of the company, the high-precision casting room later known as "Sbia's Furnace" began its first operation.
This is a super casting room that combines the culmination of Bisi's magic research, plus Cohen's whimsical ideas. Later, it also integrated a series of lost technologies, which are the achievements of the Hillel Dynasty in many aspects. In terms of personnel use, not only requisition
In addition to the previous patriarch and forging master of the dwarf clan, even the numerous elders of the elven clan had to send half of their manpower to work here.
"Put in the tenth set of fire attribute magic crystals!" A deep voice sounded from outside the magic circle: "The eleventh set is ready!"
The elf elder in the magic circle only nodded slightly, the chanting in his mouth remained stable, and the fingers of his hands were constantly changing, forming a complex shape on his chest. Not far in front of her was the core of the magic circle, a group of crystal clear magic crystals.
The stone moved to the core along the bright lines, and then began to rotate around the core and melt slowly. As the outer wall of the crystal cracked, surging magical energy burst out, and was first blocked by the barrier for a moment, and then, it was enough to destroy
The energy of half the mountain was absorbed by a set of runes at the core of the circle.
Except for the person involved, no one on the Bisi continent could have imagined that magic crystals could be cracked in a controlled manner. In the past, the purpose of magic crystals was nothing more than to provide magicians with spell bonuses and magic power reserves. Bisi
Ya's magic research proves that neither of these two methods can actually directly use the energy in the crystal. The former filters magic impurities through the magic crystal, and at most uses the principle of magic condensation to call external free energy of the same attribute; while the latter only uses the crystal's energy.
The crack temporarily stores its own magic power.
But the real value of the magic crystal is that it contains huge energy in its unfathomable and subtle structure!
According to this theory, the latest use was made into an explosive device by Sbia, which was very effective. Unfortunately, the release process was uncontrollable and incomplete. After Cohen obtained the information about the Hillel Dynasty, this problem was finally solved.
. Now this magic circle can decompose magic crystals and completely squeeze out magic energy - and it is only the power part of the furnace of Sbia. The entire casting room magic circle is still on the lower floor, consisting of twelve medium-sized ones of similar size.
Made up of magic circles.
"The sixth group of black iron is put in! The first level, weighing three thousand kilograms!" Outside the metal refining magic array on the second floor, the black iron ingots placed in a special way entered the magic array, amidst the light golden flames.
After walking through groups of runic flames, although the surface shape of the black iron has not changed at all, the color has faded a lot, indicating that the trace essence in it has been extracted.
The metal being refined is not only black iron, but also meteorite, fine steel, various magic items, etc. in other magic circles. There are even ancient weapons and armors, which are the most famous legendary things. After passing through the flames
After refining, all the magical weapons are turned back into ordinary metal parts, and all the extracted components enter the third underground layer in the form of gas - the core magic circle of the Furnace of Sbia.
The core magic array actually has two functions, combining and stabilizing. There are two connecting channels outside it, one comes from the refining magic array, and the other comes from the external forming magic array. The former transports various purified raw materials, and the latter provides already formed materials.
The carrier is the weapons and armor made by the dwarf master using special alloys - frankly speaking, if it weren't for Cohen, the person who made this weird claim would have been beaten to death!
The main component of the alloy used to create the carrier is a strange metal, eclipse steel. Only the Vampires can find it with innate perception, and they have to rely on sand people to go deep into the ground to collect it. But even if these two races are gathered together, the eclipse steel can be mined.
There is also very little steel, and the reserves of several major clans for thousands of years, including those in the national treasury, only amount to a few hundred kilograms.
This kind of metal is formed naturally, and the output is very small. Each piece is no more than the size of a little finger, and it is ridiculously hard. It is a natural product that cannot be smelted. This is also the origin of its name. Only endless years can change its shape. In the past,
It is only used as a symbolic metal and used in some special jewelry.
Cohen knew that there was no metal in the world that could not be smelted, but the smelting method was wrong. So the lunar eclipse steel met its natural enemy and became pieces of lunar eclipse steel ingots. The properties of the lunar eclipse steel were also measured by the dwarf master. The lunar eclipse steel has more properties than any other metal.
Hard and stable, if combined with a little flexibility, it would be the perfect metal of a caster's dream.
Under the instruction of the weirdo Cohen, the eclipse steel alloy was born. There are many flexible metals, just find the most suitable ratio.
Dozens of long swords made of lunar eclipse alloy were placed on the bracket. The slender sword body shone with a vague silver brilliance. The blade was almost transparent and looked like a crystal clear skirt. Only from
In terms of the physical definition of a metal sword, it can already be called perfect. Even the best armor and shields in Sbia's inventory cannot stop it from striking, and even black iron ingots will be pierced by a sword!
But the smooth casting ends here, because the various refined essences sent by the refining magic array cannot be attached to the sword!
After all, it is not so safe to be theoretically feasible. In various previous experiments, Cohen only added ordinary magic elements to the Lunar Eclipse Sword. At that time, the Lunar Eclipse Sword had no abnormality, but once the newly refined high-level elements were added to it,
If the magic attribute - that is, the quantity and purity of weapons comparable to those of gods and demons - is added to the water attribute, the body of the Lunar Eclipse Sword will be full of cracks, and it will become fragments all over the ground with one cut; if the fire attribute is added to the Lunar Eclipse Sword,
The body of the sword will become soft and soft, and finally melt into juice naturally!
According to Cohen's solution, the dwarf forging master experimented several times, and even installed a magic circle and barrier in the space of the sword hilt. However, the magic energy always had to be released through the sword body. During this short process, the lunar eclipse
The alloy will still be destroyed!
"It seems that all the metals on the Bis Continent that can carry such a level of magic elements have been looted by the superior clan! It's not without reason that they let go of the Lunar Eclipse Steel!" After the fifth Lunar Eclipse Sword was quickly corroded,
The forging master angrily dropped the hammer in his hand and shouted at Cohen: "You can't continue the experiment like this, there is not much lunar eclipse steel!"
"Pay attention to etiquette, master." The old patriarch of the dwarf tribe smoothed things over: "Cohen is your majesty."
In desperation, Cohen could only take out several weapons that he had previously obtained from Crow for testing. One of them was obviously a stabbing sword from the Protoss. However, after reverse engineering and canceling the original magical properties and adding new properties, this weapon
The fate of the sword is exactly the same as the ending of the first five lunar eclipse swords...
It seems that the metal swept away by the gods cannot meet Cohen's requirements, and the additional magical power is truly unprecedentedly powerful.
"Your Majesty also wants to use things as things, and five of them are useless! The same goes for those legendary weapons. They can't be ruined and played with like this. The test also depends on the success rate!" The dwarf master's voice did not drop because of this.
The distinctive beard twitched up and down as he glared at the old patriarch: "I haven't called him a prodigal yet, why are you panicking?"
"It's too late when you curse! It's necessary for me to remind you earlier." Wadi's father's intestines didn't bend any further, and he stuffed a bottle of wine over it: "Old bastard, use this to stop it
your mouth!"
The master angrily bit the mouth of the leather bag, and the wine inside was gushing down his stomach. However, his bloodshot eyes were still staring at Cohen, for fear that he would use another Lunar Eclipse Sword as an experiment... The master did not
It’s not that he meant to embarrass Cohen, but he valued these weapons very much, and each shaped sword hilt was marked with his double-layer mark early on.
"Everyone, please go down and rest for a while. I need time to think it over." Cohen opened the calmed magic barrier and took a fragment from it to observe: "I will call you when I have an idea. Don't worry, there will be no shortage of swords."
After listening to Cohen's words, several assistants outside the magic circle immediately put down their books and left. The master was also dragged out by the old patriarch. Before leaving, he said: "We will wait outside, don't try to do it secretly!
"
Cohen didn't care about the master's bad temper. He raised the fragment in his hand high and observed it carefully - it was a beautiful metal, and the bright light could almost be projected from the back. The structure inside was dense and uniform, with no bubbles.
There are flaws such as gaps, but why can't it carry high-level magical properties? There must be a key step that has been ignored!
"Obviously this is due to mutual interference." Cohen frowned and muttered to himself: "Building a layer of separation between magic and metal? No, the separation will destroy the physical effect of the sword and also delay the activation time of the magic special effects.
And the effect...do we really need to find another metal?”
"You can't find it." Xiao Jiu's voice rang in Cohen's mind: "On the Bis continent, all metals that can achieve similar effects have been looted by the gods and demons, and even the mineral veins have been removed. You
Where else can I find it?”
"You know a lot of things." Cohen tossed the fragments in his hand: "Is there any inside information that I can use?"
"No, as far as I know, all these useful metals are in the hands of gods and demons. They don't intend to leave anything that threatens them. Otherwise, mankind's rebellion will be much smoother." Xiao Jiu was in the magic circle.
Floating leisurely in the sky: "And the magic power on the weapon you want to attach is too powerful, why not try to reduce it some?"
"Based on the estimate of the true abilities of the gods and demons, and after rigorous calculations, the capacity and purity attached to the weapon are only a lower limit, otherwise it would be completely impossible to meet the requirements." Cohen shook his head: "This is plus my personal battle.
The result of force.”
"It's very troublesome." Xiao Jiu said without any nonsense: "The weapons that Crow gave you before also failed. This shows that there is another mystery inside. Something may have been damaged during the reverse disassembly."
"But there is no change in the metal structure of the rapier." Cohen said: "The magic consultant can't find any errors in the principle."
"But the other thin sword is very interesting, because it does not use special metal, but just ordinary star steel. But before it was destroyed, the magic power on the sword was still strong. How did the gods do this?" Xiao Jiu
Said: "Perhaps this can give you a hint. Have you noticed the premise? Although there is no difference in fundamental principles between the magic of the gods and the magic of humans, the addition of this level of magical power should belong to the category of magic of the gods.
.”
"I expected it." Cohen nodded, pointing to the rapier Xiaojiu mentioned: "It seems that the problem is here, in a range that humans have never been involved in before... The way magical power is attached does not seem to be in metal.
Drill a hole and live in it?"
"Of course not. For general magic additions, there must be a 'core' existing on the carrier. The most common core is magic crystal. If there is no considerable degree of magic attainment, or the user is not a magician, then another one needs to be installed.
The 'trigger' device is used to control magical power, usually a set of tiny magic circles, so that the weapon lacks variety, but at least it is usable."
"But high-strength magic crystals are scarce, and highly sensitive magic arrays that don't require a lot of magic power are difficult to create and maintain... This is the fundamental reason why magic instruments are expensive and rare." Xiao Jiu said: "You can understand.
Cheng... Magic and metal usually live in two overlapping but independent spaces. During battle, magic is released through the sword body. Of course, at normal strength, metal will not be destroyed by magic power. I want to be hollowed out by the gods.
Those metals do not really coexist with magic, they are just more tolerant. If the strength is too high and used too frequently, they will still be destroyed."
"In this way, the weapons of the Gods should follow this principle, but because the additional magic is too powerful and may exceed the magic resistance of the metal, they use another thing to replace the 'core'? In addition, the members of the Gods are proficient in magic, then
You don’t have to pretend if you activate the magic circle!" Cohen thought hard: "But there is no trace of the 'core' on the rapier!"
"Actually, your question just now is very interesting. Magic power does not reside in metal after drilling a hole." Xiao Jiu said: "Maybe the core is the same. Why do the weapons of the gods also have to be inlaid with something like magic crystal? Is it possible?
Can’t you use something else?”
"Replace... with something invisible? Or another magical method?" Cohen patted his head, and his mood began to turn violent: "Damn! One of the privileges of being an emperor is that you don't have to look through books to find answers, but now
I have to think about everything myself!”
"Calm down, calm down, it doesn't matter." Xiao Jiu did not miss the opportunity to ridicule the host: "Perhaps the numerical advantage of humans can make up for this shortcoming. At worst, you can wield the Lunar Eclipse Sword and be followed by a bunch of magicians to manipulate magic - so-so, so-so.
!”
Not surprisingly, Cohen immediately released a soul tremor at him, causing Xiao Jiu's transparent body to roll over the magic circle.
After probably turning around for more than ten times, Xiao Jiu had time to curse: "Asshole! Rogue! Scoundrel!"
But the expected tremor did not come immediately. Xiao Jiu looked at Cohen suspiciously and found that his unscrupulous host was looking at the metal fragments on the ground in a daze. According to Xiao Jiu's experience, as long as he puts on this pose,
Either he made a shocking discovery or he fell asleep, but at this time, it was obviously impossible for Cohen to fall asleep.
So, Xiao Jiu slowly landed downwards. Although his movements would never make a sound, he still tried to be more careful...
"Stop hiding." Cohen's eyes locked on him: "I need you to do an experiment."
"No! It's impossible!" Xiao Jiu burst into rage, but obviously he couldn't get rid of his host. He was immediately grabbed back by Cohen and held around his waist. He also made an even more unreasonable request: "Transform into the shape of a weapon."
, otherwise I will have mental disorders."
"No! I'm not metal!" Xiao Jiu wailed: "I don't want to become pieces - ah!"
"Be serious!" Cohen's tone was very solemn. Facing a row of targets at the edge of the room, he made a simple one-handed sword stance. Xiaojiu had no choice but to compromise: "While I'm stabbing, you
Use magic to attack this row of targets on your own!"
After saying that, Cohen thrust his right hand straight out, and the translucent "one-handed sword" silently cut through the air. The tip of the sword trembled slightly, and a few sparks flashed out from the row of targets on the wall - Xiao Jiu was
In the phantom form, he can only use soul energy to attack. It is already amazing to be able to shoot sparks on the target.
"Okay!" Cohen grabbed an Eclipse Sword from the display shelf and said to Xiaojiu: "Sword up!"
Facing the serious Cohen, Xiaojiu protested very little: "You have promised not to use the Eclipse Sword for experiments."
"If you can't go back on your word, what's the fun in being an emperor? Stop talking nonsense and get on the sword!"
Xiao Jiu was extremely helpless and could only do what Cohen said. His light blue translucent body gradually shrank and slowly disappeared into the sword body, leaving only a hair-sized blue light at the tip of the sword.
Cohen shook up the long sword in his hand, walked to a group of vertically arranged targets, and once again raised his hand: "As usual, attack!"
With a soft sound of "chi", the long sword wrapped with golden fighting spirit pierced through the air. One of the twelve targets in the column was pierced by the sword edge, five were penetrated by the fighting spirit, and the remaining six were pierced by the fighting spirit.
A spark flashed out at the bullseye... The target fragments fell to the ground with a "clinking" sound.
Xiaojiu's screams also sounded: "I don't want to stay on this sword-ahhhhh!"
Outside the gate, the foundry master who had been holding his breath heard the sound of debris falling to the ground. He jumped up and rushed into the door: "This bastard, I know he is still experimenting! My Lunar Eclipse Sword!"
But the master only took one step and was hugged tightly by the old patriarch beside him. One wanted to leave, but the other refused to let go. The two dwarves rolled and struggled in front of everyone.
"I don't want to stay on this sword! How can I stay on this sword!" Xiao Jiu's screams continued. Although Cohen's eyes were calm and deep, in Xiao Jiu's view, it was clearly crazy, no. With good intentions! Because he had a vague idea of Cohen's cracking idea, especially after Cohen asked another question, this feeling became even stronger.
"Can you use other types of magic? Fire? Water? Or something else?"
"Of course I know the method, but I can't use it!" Xiao Jiu seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw: "I can't condense and guide any magic power in my current state! You have to give me a living body!"
"There is no problem of condensing magic power." Cohen walked to the lower end of one of the magic array channels, first made a ball in the palm of his hand with a unique blue light, then put a small amount of purified fire energy into it, and then put the sealed The ball of light merged into Xiao Jiu's body - Xiao Jiu's body was made up of Cohen's soul energy, and there was no rejection reaction. After Xiao Jiu disappeared into the sword, some red light came out from it, which looked very strange.
"try again."
Cohen walked to the farthest group of targets, raised his sword and stabbed, only to see a bright red line passing by. The entire group of targets was burned into two pieces by the ultra-high temperature flame, and the middle of the target was directly vaporized by the high temperature, and then It was shattered into pieces by the subsequent fighting spirit. As for the sword itself, there was no chance of being used!
"Don't move!" Cohen ordered, and he flashed into the other groups of targets with his sword. The sound of "ding-ding" was heard as he flew forward, and the extremely sharp sword blade passed by the targets, and the fragments were scattered on the ground!
"It seems feasible." After doing all this, Cohen put the sword blade in front of his eyes and observed that the lunar eclipse alloy had no adverse reactions. Finally, he asked Xiaojiu: "What do you think?"
"You are right. The reason why the metal of the sword body was destroyed before was because the injected magical energy was uncontrolled and would naturally corrode the sword body." Although Xiao Jiu didn't want to stay on this sword, he answered the question. Don't tell lies: "If it were controlled, it wouldn't cause this kind of problem."
"Yes, control, this is the key!" Cohen nodded: "There should be a layer of enchantment in the weapons of the gods, but it is definitely not in physical form. I can probably guess what they use..."
"I guessed it too..." Xiao Jiu's face was filled with deep sorrow: "But I don't want to stay on this sword!" (To be continued)
