The appearance of the reforged Hidden Blade looks little different from before.
Ai Cui used the remaining high-strength wooden materials he had on hand to strengthen the folding crossbow on his left arm armor, increasing the range and accuracy of the crossbow.
The pop-up left hidden sword easily cut through the stainless steel bar that Ai Tri had specially taken out as a target, and its sharpness and hardness were further improved.
The power of Uru Alloy is obviously more than that. When Lu Xiao puts on the arm armor, he can feel that this pair of weapons has formed a wonderful spiritual connection with himself.
Ai Cui knew that Lu Xiao came from the atrium world of Midgard, which was relatively backward in technology and magic development, so he specially made some explanations for him.
"Weapons forged with Uru alloy have the ability to grow. The closer the connection with the owner, the stronger the power it can exert."
"You still can't fully activate all the abilities of these hidden swords. I suggest you find someone to learn Asgard's rune spells first, so that you can activate the runes I engraved on the weapons."
Lu Xiao nodded and accepted Ari's suggestion. After this trip to Nidaville, he planned to return to Kama Taj to recharge his batteries. The spell book collected by Ancient One definitely contains records about runes.
.
Compared to the left arm armor set which is simply strengthened, the changes to the right arm armor are relatively large.
Although Eitri follows the shape of the gun blade made by Leonardo da Vinci, the bulky barrel and magazine disappear from the Hidden Blade suit, and are replaced by a wisp of pocket barrel that is close to the back of the Hidden Blade's health tank.
The caliber of most modern pistols is limited to 6 mm. The caliber of the sleeve gun used by Lu Xiao was even smaller, only about 3 mm.
The ultra-compact gun barrel made by Ai Cui definitely does not exceed the caliber of 2 mm. Lu Xiao is very doubtful about the role of a weapon of this caliber.
Ai Cui was not surprised by Lu Xiao's hesitation. He urged confidently: "You will know after you try it. Hit it wherever you want, and remember to infuse the magic power to activate."
Lu Xiao raised his right hand and pointed the gun at the sign of a roadside tavern.
With the injection of magic power, the surface of the pocket gun barrel began to flash with a faint silvery light, and a beam of energy erupted from the muzzle, hitting the sign chosen by Lu Xiao as a target in the blink of an eye.
"boom!"
An explosive sound that was seriously inconsistent with the caliber of the Hidden Gun came from where the magic beam hit. The huge steel sign was completely blown off the shelf, and the drunken dwarfs below hurriedly ducked to both sides.
"Which bastard did this! Don't let me find you! ooo you xxx!"
The "elegant and easy-going" dwarf tavern owner angrily rushed out of the shop and spit out the fragrance. Lu Xiao subconsciously shrank his head. Ai Cui laughed and patted him on the shoulder. The huge force of his hand made Lu Xiao grit his teeth.
Grinning.
"Don't worry, this situation is completely normal in Nidaville. There are drunk dwarves everywhere causing havoc every day. They have long been used to it."
Pointing to the hidden gun in Lu Xiao's hand, Ai Cui explained again: "The new hidden gun is activated with magic power. The power can be adjusted according to the amount of magic power infused. You can slowly try to output the strength yourself."
Lu Xiao patted Ai Cui's thick and short arm gratefully: "Thank you, Ai Cui, I will make good use of these new weapons."
"Hahaha! That's good!"
Ai Cui laughed heartily and said: "As long as you can properly use the weapons I forged and bring out their true capabilities, it is the greatest recognition for a blacksmith."
"Come on, Lu."
Before leaving, the seemingly rough and arrogant Eitri reminded meaningfully: "Frigga will not give Uru metal to outsiders for no reason. Even if you helped Asgard, you would not use such a valuable weapon.
Thank you for the materials, you’d better prepare in advance.”
…
After the trip to Nidaville, Lu Xiao said goodbye to Thor who had been accompanying him all the way, and entrusted Heimdall to take him back to the outskirts of Kathmandu using the Rainbow Bridge.
Using the portal to open the passage to Kama Taj, Lu Xiao finally returned to this isolated holy land of mystics.
Ancient Yi did not pay attention to Lu Xiao's newly obtained weapons, and readily agreed to Lu Xiao's request to learn runes.
Runes are a set of letters used in ancient times in the Nordic region. It is said to be the language passed down from Asgard when it fought against the Frost Giants that invaded the earth.
To the Nordic people at that time, runes were just a form of text that facilitated written communication.
But in fact, runes contain mysterious power. Queen Frigga is a leader in runes, and she also taught Loki this magical magic language.
Due to his personal personality and habits, most of the runes Loki majored in were related to illusions.
The Uru knife he usually uses can enhance the effect of rune spells. Ever since he was a child, Loki has often used various illusions to fool Thor around.
Of course, runes are not only expressed in illusions. It is an all-encompassing and complete spell system. If you want to study it thoroughly, it will be difficult to do it even in a human lifetime.
The advantage of runes is that they are easy to cast. People who use them can engrave runes on any material. Depending on the material, the effect of the spell will also change.
The 24 original runes are combined with various materials from nature to produce ever-changing spell effects.
In the history of the writing history of the Nordic people, the runes have undergone many changes. In modern times, it is difficult to see the shadow of the original runes.
Of course, this problem does not exist in the spell book preserved by the Ancient One. The 24 original runes are completely recorded, even including the effects produced by combining each rune with various materials.
There are also some notes and labels left in the book by an unknown person when he was studying. These reading notes provided a lot of help to Lu Xiao, who was new to learning Rune.
"?(pronounced hagalaz)"
Lu Xiao poured magic power into his fingertips and drew a rune shape in mid-air.
The ? runes represent hail, restriction, delay and end. After being combined with the air medium, the ? runes quickly transformed into small-scale wind and snow, bringing a burst of cold air to the constant-temperature interior of Kama Taj.
"?(kenaz)"
After the low-temperature snowstorm ended, Lu Xiao drew the rune again? The rune quickly turned into a bright flame, burning and suspended in mid-air.
"It's quite interesting."
After getting a new toy, Lu Xiao tested 24 types of runes one by one. Some were successful and some failed.
The failed runes were not because there was a problem with Lu Xiao's drawing techniques, but because simply using air as a medium was unable to activate their abilities.
After initially learning the runes, Lu Xiao took out two hidden swords and observed them carefully.
According to Ai Cui, considering that Lu Xiao is relatively weak now, he specially sealed the runes engraved on the hidden sword. These seals will be unlocked one after another according to Lu Xiao's strength growth.
Only one rune can be seen on the left hidden sword - ? (ansuz), which when combined with Uru metal can produce a powerful poison.
Lu Xiao used small animals caught from the mountains to conduct experiments, and they were almost able to seal their throats with sword blood.
The hidden sword on the right hand also has only one rune for the time being - ? (thurisaz). After testing, it has the effect of penetrating defense.
To put it simply, Lu Xiao's right-hand hidden sword can easily pierce a variety of defense methods, including solid armor, magic barriers and energy shields. As long as the defensive strength does not exceed the magic power Lu Xiao poured into the hidden sword, there will be no
Things can block his attacks.
As the best blacksmith in the universe, Ai Cui carved three runes into each of Lu Xiao's two hidden blades.
The effect of 1+1 runes is definitely not just 2, the power that 1+1+1 can produce is even more immeasurable. It is said that even Odin's eternal spear Gungnir only has 5 engraved on it.
Runes.
If the power of the Eternal Spear is fully unleashed, no object in the universe, except the Infinity Stones, can block Gungnir's attack.
According to Eitri, in the battle between Thanos and Odin, he was defeated by Odin's Gungnir.
"The runes are extensive and profound. It seems that it will take a lot of time to study the combination of various runes and materials. However... first, let's understand the effects of using each rune alone."
