Chronicles of Ryan the Wizard

Hamfest took Ryan and his group of 3 people around in the tree-lined magic guild. After walking for about 10 minutes, they came to a spacious place with about 5 or 6 circles. Shaped buildings, each building is separated by a distance of about 100 meters, and there are a lot of magic circles between each other, and the Dimos officer has been waiting outside the hall of the production workshop No. 1 and saw Ha Mfest and the others came, and Dimos hurriedly greeted them and led them into the No. 1 production workshop.

As the headquarters of the Magic Guild, workshops like this for making magical items are naturally indispensable. The workshop chosen by Hamfister is the top workshop in the entire Imperial Capital Magic Guild. A normal magic material, and even a dozen large-scale production equipment, such as the octagonal-shaped super-large magic furnace in an inconspicuous corner. Ryan learned about it from the book Blair gave him. Using such a furnace to smelt magic materials, most people can't afford it at all, because the fuel value needed when it is used is almost equal to Mithril.

"How about? The tools here are pretty complete, right?" Hamfist said with a little ostentation: "As far as I know, the entire continent can have this level of production workshops, except for Mochizuki City. There are three. Although it is said that the elves have similar things, almost no one has seen them with their own eyes, and no human has personally entered and used them, so it is ignored."

"It's really good!" Ryan praised sincerely, "I once went to a well-known southern chamber of commerce that produces and sells magic items. There are a lot of magic items made every day, but almost all of them are made by magicians. Designed and made separately, and using nothing more than small tools, it seems that no one uses this kind of furnace at all!"

After Ryan said these words, he pointed his finger at the melting pot he just saw in the corner, and Hamfist knew what Ryan was referring to without looking at him. He laughed and said: "In fact, we are here. There is only one. That thing is used to smelt some rare and exotic treasures, and usually it may not be used once in a few years."

"Yeah, if you want to drive it, it consumes too much energy. The gain is not worth the loss." Ryan also nodded and said.

"Well, that's the truth." Hamfest said: "We usually use these tools here. For example, if we want to smelt some metal ores, we use this small magic furnace. The power it uses is our magic. The magic power of the teacher, as long as a few magic masters take turns to relay, there is really nothing it can't melt, but it will take a little longer."

Ryan followed Hamfister’s fingers and saw a furnace similar to an anvil used in ordinary blacksmiths, except that there was an extra bracket near the furnace with a large crystal ball on it. It seems that this part is mostly used to receive magic.

"It's easy to use. You throw the ore on the anvil, and then put your hand on the crystal ball to start the furnace, so that you can slowly melt the ore. As for the shape you want, you can direct the craftsmen to use it. The hammer will be forged for you." Hamfist explained: "If you want to add magic, there is a crafting station, and your mithril quota for this month is already there."

Ryan nodded. He had already seen ten mithril ingots on the crafting table aside. The mithril ingots were not too big. Ryan could hold them all in the palm of his hand with one hand.Hamfist said again: "This is just for you to smelt magic items. As for the magic circle and magic scroll you want to draw, the mithril powder used is an extra quota. Oh, yes, you every month There is also a subsidy of 100,000 gold coins. You can entrust the Magic Guild to help you purchase or collect materials, or you can take all of them and use them yourself. The Magic Guild does not ask where these gold coins are."

"It sounds like this is a very tempting position," Ryan said with a smile: "You don't need to do anything. You can collect 100,000 gold coins every month? There are also a lot of valuable materials. Ha ha, I had known such a generous treatment. , I didn’t have to run around for a few gold coins."

"Haha! You can really laugh." Hamfist also laughed a few times, then said sternly: "If you use these gold coins to enjoy, I guess even a viscount with a large fief You are comfortable, but if a magician spends his mind on the research of magic, the consumption is a terrible figure. A magic experiment is likely to cost tens of thousands of gold coins. The production of a magic item may be just the material. Gold coins are not enough at all, you have to borrow extra money like a guild, and then use the future quota to pay back slowly."

"Yeah, studying magic is equivalent to burning gold coins to a certain extent. Without certain financial resources, it is impossible to sustain." Ryan also said sternly: "So almost all magicians will choose to join a certain force, because they rely solely on him. I'm afraid that personal strength can't be sustained at all. I remember Victor once said that he would spend millions on the raw materials to make a magic scroll of the time and space gate, not counting his own expenses. thought."

"Well, let's not talk about it. Barbara, go, put that piece of steel ore on the anvil." Ryan turned the subject back, he watched Barbara carefully arrange the ore, and then waited for Barbara. After pulling away, he put his hand on the crystal ball.

The colorless and transparent crystal ball immediately emitted a red flame after receiving the magic power continuously transmitted from the palm of Ryan's palm, and the anvil on which the steel ore was placed slowly began to glow, a heat from it Gushing out and spreading in all directions, Vivian, who was standing next to her, felt the heat rushing towards her face, and quickly pulled Barbara back ten steps, until she couldn't feel the heat before she stood up.

The magic furnace that absorbed Ryan’s mana quickly reached the specified temperature. The stainless steel ore placed on the anvil had begun to slowly soften. The original black ore actually glowed red, obviously it was It's about to melt away.Ryan knows that the so-called fine steel ore is also called fine gold after being smelted. This is just two different names for a metal. The former tells how hard the metal is, while the latter vividly describes its preciousness. Comparable to gold.

Hamfist saw Ryan come up and went all out, and it took only a few minutes to soften the ore. He deliberately reminded Ryan that smelting ore is a long-term task, even if it takes a few minutes. Hours were also normal. He didn't want Ryan to fail the entire production because of the excessive consumption at the beginning, so that even the Imperial Capital Magic Guild would lose face.

Unexpectedly, Hamfest hadn’t opened his mouth, and I heard Ryan’s voice in his ear: "Barbara, with such a little ore, you can only make a dagger. You can decide what style you like, wait a while I'll guide you to make the finished product. Well, Vivian, please get a piece of mithril, wait to see how much fine gold is smelted, and then add mithril in a ratio of 1:1."

"Okay." Vivian agreed, and turned around to get the mithril, while Barbara squatted down on the ground and continued to paint, full of longing for her first magic weapon.Hamfist closed his mouth firmly, and he dared to speak at this time, and seeing Ryan's expression is quite relaxed, which shows that he can deal with it completely, so why bother to talk?

After more than ten minutes, the high temperature of the entire furnace has completely radiated, half of the production workshop hall is full of hot air, and the fine steel ore on the anvil has almost melted into a pool of liquid, and with the ore The impurities inside are dissolved by the high temperature, and the color of the entire stainless steel begins to slowly turn gray. This is the true color of the stainless steel.

"Well, throw one piece in. I think this material is a little bit scarce, so I have to use Mithril to make up the count." What Ryan said to Vivienne almost made Hamfister cry, although this Mithril It's free, but can't it be used to make up?If the value is strictly discussed, even ten pieces of fine steel ore is not as good as Mithril.This is not because the value of stainless steel itself is not as good as Mithril, but because stainless steel must be made into a finished product to be truly worthy. As long as Mithril is smelted, it can be used in various places. The use value of the two is simply incomparable.

Vivian doesn’t care how ugly Hamfist’s face is at the moment. She likes Barbara very much in her heart. Naturally, she hopes that her magic weapon can be as powerful as possible, so after listening to Ryan’s words, Vivian did not hesitate to throw a whole mithril ingot in.

The mithril ingot melts almost at the speed that the naked eye can see. Soon the white mithril melts into a liquid. It slowly mixes with the gray steel and looks very ugly. Ryan does not hesitate to use the magic in his body. Energy is supplied to this magic furnace. He manipulates the magic furnace to repeatedly fuse two different metals, Mithril and stainless steel, until the color of all the liquid turns into a bright off-white, then he speaks to Barbara: "It's almost done. Have you thought about the style? Come here quickly so I can guide you to shape the dagger!"

Barbara's heart is very contradictory at this time, because there are two different ideas in her head, but she herself does not know which one to choose, so a hesitant look suddenly appeared on her face.Vivienne has gone through this stage. Of course, she understands Barbara’s mood, so she pushed Barbara hard behind her back, and whispered: "The style doesn’t matter, the key is that it’s convenient for you to use it. ?"

Barbara was reminded by Vivian, and she made up her mind. She quickly came to Ryan and pressed her hands on the crystal ball according to Ryan's request, and Ryan kept her right hand on the He used Barbara's hands to guide her mind to control this magic furnace, just as Ryan guided the magical energy in Barbara so that she could learn how to use it.

The pool of liquid on the anvil slowly condensed, forming a rough dagger shape. Gradually, the temperature on the anvil began to cool, and the red light on the thick embryo of the dagger slowly dimmed. After coming down, after a while, when the entire magic furnace completely stopped working, a strange-shaped dagger appeared in front of everyone.
