Throne of Vientiane Civilization

After understanding the actual effect of 'Blood Drinking', Zhou Xu's analysis has just begun.

In this process, the more he studied in depth, the more he could feel the power of the designer of the mantra 'Blood Drinking'.

Indeed, judging from the effect alone, the 'Energy Drainage' of the Wood Elf Mages is more versatile and has a stronger effect. Compared with 'Energy Drainage', 'Blood Drinking' is simply a super degraded version.

In fact, Zhou Xu did think so at the beginning.

But he soon found out that he was wrong.

'Energy Drainage' is indeed more versatile and has a stronger effect, but 'Blood Drinking' also has its own advantages, and its advantage lies in low consumption!

The designer reduced the consumption by adding restrictions to this mantra, so that the consumption of 'Blood Drinking' is almost the same as that of 'Sharpness' and 'Toughness'.

And this also makes the effect of 'Blood Drinking' passively triggered throughout the process!

In the process of continuous in-depth research, Zhou Xu's enthusiasm for this enchantment mantra is getting higher and higher.

Ten days later, in the bedroom, Zhou Xu smiled as he looked at the enchantment mantra that he had perfectly copied in his palm.

This can be regarded as sharpening the knife before chopping wood.

If he had not digested the knowledge in the inherited wisdom and done enough homework in advance, this research would definitely not be able to achieve such efficiency.

[Can I add my "flame attack" to this? ]

Zhou Xu subconsciously wanted to add "flame attack" to it, so as to further enhance the strength of this enchantment effect.

But he soon realized that he had made a low-level mistake.

In the relevant knowledge of inherited wisdom, it is specifically mentioned that for small enchantments like this, the more mantras are piled up, the better, and a balance must be paid attention to.

Take the Red Flame Saber that they have developed at this stage.

Although the triggering problem of the Fiery Slash has been solved now, it cannot change the reality that the Fiery Slash will directly drain all the energy of the Red Flame Saber.

Under this premise, if you do not directly use Flame Slash in battle, but use ordinary attacks first, fight with the help of the passive effects of other enchantments, consume energy, and then use Flame Slash, the power of Flame Slash will decrease, or even consume too much energy, and Flame Slash will not be released directly.

Obviously, this is a situation where the balance is not done well. Multiple enchantment effects are piled together and start to hinder each other.

This is also related to the fact that the forging material itself is not good enough. Using better materials, such as the mithril of the silver steel sword, may solve this problem.

He cannot solve the material problem in a short time, but he can solve the enchantment problem!

After digesting all the knowledge and gaining a new understanding of enchantment, Zhou Xu has made up his mind that he will adjust the enchantment of the Red Flame Saber.

He wants to directly abandon the effects of "toughness" and "sharpness", leaving the effects of "fire attack" and "slow recovery of natural energy".

Thus, the Red Flame Saber becomes a more pure "explosive" sword!

It's all about that flaming slash!

As for whether removing 'toughness' and 'sharpness' will affect the performance of the Red Flame Saber...

The answer is definitely yes!

Compared with the original Red Flame Saber, its toughness and sharpness will definitely decrease, but compared with the crystal iron Saber, this difference will become negligible.

The key lies in the fire crystal.

Li Gan said before that in the process of adding fire crystal for forging, the fire crystal will absorb the energy of the flame, allowing the alloy to be more fully quenched, so that the forged weapon is tougher and sharper than ordinary crystal iron weapons!

In this way, Zhou Xu's current thinking is very simple.

He plans to launch two weapons, one of which is to be equipped to elite and ace troops after improvement, and to fight with a flaming slash to break through the formation and kill the enemy, or the Red Flame Saber targeting the enemy's elite troops.

The other one still uses crystal iron as the main material, without adding fire crystal stone, and is blessed with the enchantment mantra of the ready-made blood-drinking broadsword, focusing on a blood-drinking broadsword with continuous combat capability!

Compared with fire crystal stone, crystal iron materials are more sufficient. As long as there is enough time, they can basically complete the full coverage of the troops within the Great Zhou at this stage.

Now, the positioning is clear.

The Red Flame Saber is a tactical weapon for some special situations, while the Blood-Drinking Saber is a conventional weapon.

After thinking about this matter again in his mind, Zhou Xu felt that there was nothing wrong, and soon called Li Gan to give him instructions.

The Red Flame Saber had just been made a version not long ago. Li Gan had no idea about the matter that their majesty was going to adjust again, and was very calm.

Weapons are supposed to be constantly updated.

Although more than a hundred Red Flame Sabers have been made, the total number is not much. At this stage, it is at most a small-scale trial. The loss is not great if it is updated now.

On the contrary, crystal iron weapons have been forged for many years in the Great Zhou, with thousands of crystal iron swords and crystal iron spears. If these crystal iron weapons want to be completely updated, it will probably take more than two or three years.

When he thought of this, considering the workload, Li Gan felt a sense of pressure.

"Please rest assured, Your Majesty, I will complete the task!"

After that, time passed quietly, and with the gradual rise in temperature, the season soon entered summer.

On this day, under the scorching sun, Xuan Yu, who was still acting as a messenger at the northeastern border, flew back to the palace of Black Moon City with a letter.

Zhou Xu took down the letter and read the content.

The content here is Li Ce's retelling.

Simply put, the envoy of the female warrior tribe came to their border and told them that Queen Yalvette was going to hold a birthday party for her newly born heir and invited him to attend.

In the Qinzheng Hall, Li Bowen, who also knew about this situation, frowned.

"For such a matter, we usually send an envoy from the Great Zhou to bring gifts to congratulate. How can we ask His Majesty to make this trip in person?!"

Li Bowen said this with displeasure on his face, and so did Huo Qubing on the other side.

Asking the emperor of their Great Zhou to go to the other capital to attend the birthday party in person?

In their opinion, the female warrior tribe's behavior was somewhat disregarding their Great Zhou.

In this regard, Zhou Xu, as an insider, coughed twice in embarrassment.

"That Queen Yalvette should not be that kind of person. It just so happens that the fortress on the northeastern border has officially started construction recently. I will go there to inspect it and attend the celebration banquet."

[The construction team just arrived a while ago. What is there to inspect now? ]

Li Bowen's face flashed with a trace of doubt, even a little puzzled.

Huo Qubing on the side seemed to be thinking about something. He lowered his head and pondered for a while, then looked up at their majesty. He didn't know what he was thinking about. For a time, Zhou Xu felt like he was sitting on pins and needles, as if a thorn in his back, and as if a fishbone was stuck in his throat...
