Arcane Lord

After exchanging a few words with Leiden, Shado returned to the Tower of Time overnight, contacted Cecily to get a bunch of glass bottles and jars from the supplies department, and then found a random workshop on the public floor and started working.

The first thing he made was a distillation device. There is no such equipment in the Tower of Time. Although the Tower of Time also produces some magic potions in small quantities, the magic potions are not so much "medicines" as they are liquid magic. thing.

The maker does not need to understand pharmacology at all, nor does he need complicated making tools. Xia Duo can only choose to make it himself. Fortunately, as long as there is ready-made glass, it is not difficult to make it.

In other words, compared to mithril components that have complex structures and require precision, this kind of distillation decoration that does not require high precision or complex structures is very simple.

After a while, Chateau made a large distilling bottle and a long condenser tube.

Then he took out a barrel of low-alcohol ale used as a water reserve from his portable space, scooped some out of a distilling bottle, connected the condenser tube, and placed it directly on the alchemy circle.

Although Xia Duo didn't know the boiling points of alcohol and water in this world, there would always be a difference. At most, it would just be water coming out of the condenser tube.

The temperature in the distillation bottle gradually increased, and some mist gradually appeared above the bottle. Chateau stopped the temperature increase at the right time, and it didn't take long for the first drop of liquid to finally flow out from the other end of the condenser tube.

There is no need to actually taste it, the pungent smell says it all.

After roughly grasping the distillation temperature, Xia Duo set up the receiving container, then went to the other end of the experimental table, found a chair and sat down, and began to design dragon-slaying weapons.

Of course, he didn't get the wine for himself. Shado didn't like the taste of alcohol, and he hated the feeling of losing control of his consciousness. He did this just to ask Broto, the dwarf of the Saville Territory, to help him build weapons.

Although there is ready-made fine gold in the Tower of Time, it can be processed into any shape through the alchemical formation, but there are still differences between the shape and actual use, such as internal stress, toughness, and rigidity.

Having a forging master help me hammer it a few times, if nothing else, would make me feel better psychologically.

Furthermore, directly using pure gold may not be the best choice. There are alloys on earth, and there may not be better gold alloys here.

…

If you want to slay a dragon, the most ideal weapon is of course a bow and arrow, which can damage the target without contact, but in actual operation, this is not the case.

Xia Duo had seen the illusion of a green dragon during the snow-melting competition. With such a huge body and covered with scales, how could it be killed with just a few arrows?

Unless it is a magic arrow with special lethality.

If you want to kill a giant dragon with ordinary weapons, not to say it is impossible, you must at least have the ability to break the dragon's scales. "Sharpness" is the first element. In theory, as long as it is sharp enough, maybe a string is enough to slay the dragon.

Of course, it is impossible to make such a weapon in reality, so "sturdiness" needs to be considered. After all, no matter how the dragon scale is broken, it is essentially the impact of two materials.

If it is not strong enough, "sharpness" will have no basis for existence.

Xia Duo does not expect to be able to kill him with one blow, so the weapon must be considered to be able to be used multiple times. In addition, the size of the weapon is also very important. After all, the imaginary enemy this time is a dragon, so it is better not to use a dagger to slay the dragon!

Of course, when designing weapons, Xia Duo does not need to consider too many factors. Even if it is just a fantasy, the difficulty is the forger, not himself.

Xia Duo designed a total of three weapons, a javelin, which is actually an enlarged version of an arrow (head), and a machete. If you are forced to fight in close combat, you may want to try this.

The first two are basically very conventional. Even though the style of the machete is different from the mainstream melee weapons in Netheril, it is still a melee weapon.

What he really likes is the last weapon - flying shuttle, of course it can be called "flying sword".

Xia Duo once used [Flying Technique] to control [Blade of Veto] to attack in the projection plane. Although there were various drawbacks, such as not being fast enough, not flexible enough, and the control time after impact was greatly reduced, etc.

But it is undeniable that this is almost the cheapest "magic weapon".

In Xia Duo's mind, it can almost be compared with the electromagnetic gun. Unfortunately, in this world, "electricity" is not the movement of electrons, but the embodiment of elements. Of course, it cannot generate "magnetism".

"Magnetism" is also another materialized element that can be transformed into "electricity", but it cannot just rely on a metal coil. Sha Duo has not yet figured out how to transform it.

In this magical world, the macroscopic physical manifestations of various substances are very similar to those on earth, but when it comes to the nature of matter, it is completely different.

The most obvious example is [Flying], which is similar to anti-gravity. On earth, this is no different from controlling time and space. It requires powerful energy, but in this world, it is just a third-level spell.

If you just want to simply levitate, even a level 0 [Mage's Hand] can do it.

It is obvious that the space, time, and matter of the two worlds are essentially completely different, even though some physical phenomena are so similar.

It is theoretically possible to make an electromagnetic gun in the magical world, but it can only be said to be a ["magnetic" ejection weapon] and has nothing to do with electricity. In terms of achievable difficulty, it is actually far less easy than [Flying Technique], which is a series of change spells, and [Sword Controlling Technique].

…

Xia Duo just made a rough sketch of the first two weapons. After all, he is not a professional cold weapon designer. He will just let Brotto perfect it a little when the time comes. He personally distilled the powerful weapons that are almost non-existent on the market. Wine (alcohol?) is not so easy to drink.

The shuttle, on the other hand, needs to be carefully designed, mainly to integrate the [Air Breaking Array] into the shuttle. This magical technology derived from the ancient elves' magic arrows can create a miniature vacuum environment around the arrow body. (Chapter 242)

This is also the main reason why that kind of magic arrow is silent. As for the extreme speed, there is another magic circle blessing, which Sha Duo has not analyzed yet.

However, he had already developed a specialized [Sword Control Technique]. In terms of speed, he believed that this spell would not be a hindrance.

…

Time passed little by little, and the workroom was filled with a pungent smell of wine. Chateau added some original wine to the distilling bottle from time to time, and then returned to the other end of the experimental bench to continue designing shuttle weapons.

The design of magic weapons is far more complicated than the design of ordinary magic items. The most troublesome thing is that the mithril components of magic weapons must be designed on the surface of the weapon.

You can only add to it after the weapon is finished. Instead of giving priority to mithril components like ordinary magic items, the appearance is just an accessory.

The appearance of the magic weapon is the main body.

Fortunately, Xia Duo was not unprepared before. He had been designing his own flying sword for a long time, but he was unable to parse the [Extreme Speed] related spells from the magic arrows. He had no special need for the flying sword before, so Design has long since come to a standstill.

Now it's just a matter of regaining the previous progress, and it can be considered a familiar road.
