Chapter 298: Luke's Peak (3)
"What the hell are you fighting?" Luke said angrily: "Forging is an art, not a joke!" β
"Didn't POSEIDON tell me to burn the ingredients?" Blake said nonchalantly, "I'm just burning the ingredients." β
Yang Hai lay down unprepared.
Blake didn't stop as he spoke, he pointed to the discus wrapped in slag and said, "I'm enlightening here, I've tried, and I'm making rapid progress." β
"Enlightenment? You ...... You ......" Luke was already speechless.
"I've been rigorously tested." Blake retorted with great dissatisfaction: "Isn't it just that I keep striking iron to learn how to make a better hammer, how to master the heat, and how to refine impurities? β
"Yes, but what have you made of fine iron?" Kangli couldn't help but interject.
"Don't you all know how to work?" Blake was very dissatisfied and educated the two NPCs: "You see, one ingredient is a piece of fine iron, a piece of Mithril, and a spoonful of goblins. If I build a dagger, it can be completed in about an hour, and what comes out of it is a dagger with miserable attributes, and I am ashamed to take it out and sell it when I see it, and the moment I finally make a dagger, I can indeed understand a lot; But if you mess around like me, I don't make it into any shape, I just hammer after hammer and repeatedly forge, knowing the system prompts...... That, until all the ductility of this piece of steel is squeezed dry. Such a discus, the same material, I could pound it continuously and repeatedly for two and a half hours, although I would lose the experience gained in the moment when the dagger was finally made...... Well, the one that got it, that one...... Understand. Blake was obviously not very good at dealing with NPCs, and it took him a long time to reluctantly describe it in NPC words: "But the first method consumes one material in an hour, and I knocked down more than 700 hammers in total; With the second method, only one serving of material is consumed in two and a half hours. Because I don't need to worry about the shape of the dagger, it doesn't matter how I want to knock it, I can hit an average of 1800 hammers per hour, even if there will be a loss in the last bit of fighting, but can't you calculate the difference between 1800 hammers and 700 hammers? β
Blake paused, looking at Conny and Luke, who were already stupid, and a sense of intellectual superiority spontaneously arose: "So, the first method you taught me is inefficient and a waste of materials; The second method that I summarized myself. It is highly efficient and saves materials. Isn't this a judgment? β
Yang Hai's eyes lit up, and he secretly praised Blake in his heart for being really clever. This guy's PVE comprehension ability is average, but his intuition is first-class keenness, and the experience gained from burning materials is divided into two parts, one is the experience gained every time he swings the hammer, and the other is the large amount of experience gained at the moment when the finished product is made. But Blake is in the apprenticeship stage, and the finished products made at this time won't be of much benefit to him, as they are all low-level items. In this way, it is better to simply knock these materials to pieces, and to knock as many hammers as you can, so that the upgrade is much faster than honestly dividing the finished product.
"How many levels are you?" Yang Hai asked.
"It's already four and a half levels!" Blake said triumphantly, "Leave the apprentice level and go directly to the junior blacksmith." Awesome, right? β
Conny and Luke were stunned, and Conny was especially unbelievable, which ...... This, this, this...... This Nima, how long did it take them to prepare in advance. It's only been a day! A day has passed, and this kid has advanced from apprentice?
Looking at the discus discus that had been discarded in the middle of the room, Conny's mouth could be stuffed with a duck egg. This is a simple, crude, untechnical way of progression. What a frenzied person it must be to be able to figure it out! Kangli looked at Blake and wanted to cry without tears, thinking about the year, thinking about the year...... It took three full months for Lao Tzu to advance from apprentice to beginner! Look at this rough thing who doesn't know anything, and now he has a junior title!
Master Luke also has a pain in the ass- this ...... Not a single finished product has been created, and he has just been fired into a junior blacksmith by virtue of his proficiency, so is it really a big man?
But this laughing and crying fact was already in front of him, and Master Luke didn't think much about it, he just had a faint worry in his heart-the ...... If you accept such a disciple, you shouldn't be discredited because of him in the future...... Should be...... It won't be......
With this hidden concern, Master Luke calmed his anger and said warmly, "When you enter the world of true blacksmithing, you will understand that forging is not just about wielding a hammer. Your cultivation speed is very fast, and your foundation is inevitably not stable enough, so you will watch my forging in the next few days, and don't do it yourself. β
Blake's eyes lit up when he heard this, that means he can fly next? It's good to dare to love! Blake has been doing mechanical hammer-wielding movements all day, and Blake has long been annoyed, so hurry up and give Dad something fun.
Luke began to explain the forging ideas to everyone, in fact, he was mainly explaining the forging ideas to Blake. Blake listened quite seriously to this time, because in the future, he would inevitably have to make zuΓ² equipment, and it would be unreasonable if he didn't learn well when someone taught.
"I've told you all about the idea of this whole suit." Luke said, his eyes glancing at Blake.
"I've said it, let's increase the battery life." Blake replied immediately.
"Yes, then you tell me, what aspects of ability will increase your endurance?" Luke asked.
"It's not easy, the skills of the corpse eaters will increase the endurance." Blake exclaimed. He is a master of war, and has a very strong corpse eating skill, and every time he kills a target that provides honor and experience, he can get 40% of that target's health.
"Ghoul eating is an extremely special ability, and it's hard to attach such an ability to your equipment." Luke continued, "What about the rest?" β
Blake patted his big axe and said, "My battle axe 'Blood' provides endurance, and 15% of the damage I deal to non-elemental, undead, and mechanical creatures with it will restore my health. β
"Adding the right amount of bat teeth when crafting a weapon can add blood-drinking abilities to the weapon." Luke nodded and said, "I know that your tomahawk, which was built when Fernando was young, has a vampire duke's tooth in it, and its blood-sucking ability is very fierce. But the set doesn't have the ability to drink blood, is there anything else? β
"And the skill of stealing healing." Blake added, "I have a skill called the wisdom of the master of war, and I enjoy 10% of all the health restoration effects within 40 yards. I'm not affected by AOE skills. β
"Stealing healing requires very high-end infusion, and it's hard to attach a spell to steal healing to a warrior's equipment, and it's hard to activate it if you attach it, because you can't access the magic network." Master Luke was still shaking his head, "We don't have to take that risk. β
"Then I can't think of anything else." Blake scratched his head.
"Think backwards, brother." Yang Hai reminded: "It's not just about getting treatment that can be called improving endurance. Being able to block damage taken can increase endurance.
"Not bad!" Luke exclaimed, "It's just to stop the damage." The first piece of equipment we wanted to craft was the breastplate. The Breastplate is the most suitable piece of equipment to be crafted as the first piece of equipment in the set, it has the simplest system, the largest area of infusion, and the highest margin for error. Kangli, prepare me with Mithril, Adamantite, Fish Scale Steel, Dragon's Blood, Whalebone, Opal, Purple Gemstone, Heartstone, Aquamarine Jade, Soft White Jade, and Elemental Crystals. β
Kang Li nodded and took the order.
"I'll teach you the first lesson in stopping the damage." Luke said: "For the warriors. Targeted sniping is very deadly, as you only have one shield wall, and other than that, there are no death-free skills. The threat of the mage to you cannot be ignored, what do you do to deal with the mage? β
"Hmm......" Blake thought for a moment, "I'm going to take an oppressive approach, constantly relying on my movement skills to get close to the mage, so he doesn't have a chance to chant incantations against me." β
"But in the future, you will encounter a mage who is proficient in instantaneous spells, and his style of play will lose its deterrent power." Luke commented unceremoniously: "From a blacksmith's point of view. As long as your equipment is resistant enough to magic, you'll no longer be afraid of mages.
"There are three ways to fight spells, magic resistance, magic absorption, and magic reflex." Luke began to lecture Blake, "Magic resistance is not a useful attribute. You have a good plan, I have a bridge and a ladder. Your resistance is high, and other people's laws are high, and it is the same as Bai Rao. Magic absorption is much stronger. For example, if you absorb 10% of your magic damage, your magic absorption is worth 10%, and after you absorb 10% of the damage, you can not only reduce the damage taken by 10%. This absorbed part can be transformed into other powers of you; The last spell reflex is the ability to reflect spells that hit you to the caster, which is also a very good way to resist spells. Magic resistance is a flawed attribute, and we don't think about it for now, we focus on the second and third.
"You remember it now." Master Luke earnestly taught: "When a piece of equipment is forged, the addition of Bloodstone can make the equipment gain properties that cannot be dropped or pickpocketed; Adding opal can increase the texture and potential of the equipment, your ability is not fully grown now, there is still a lot of room for improvement in the future, leaving some potential for the equipment, and in the future, you can let the enchanter further upgrade and sublimate the equipment. Fish Scale Steel can withstand physical damage very well after being forged, especially physical damage of the piercing nature, it is difficult for Fish Scale Steel to be penetrated, and it will also immediately unload the impact force into the fish scale-like steel pages. Mixing Mithril with Fish Scale Gang can make Fish Scale Gang allow it to be enchanted when it is quenched; Crafted by mixing Adamantite Gold and Fish Scale Steel, when Essence Metal wraps around the Fish Scale Steel Pages, the armor becomes more indestructible and the physical defense ability is even higher; Adding Dragon's Blood allows you to activate magic one level higher than the originally allowed range without having access to the magic network, while increasing the power of the infusion spell; The whalebone as a bracket for the armor can remove the weight of the armor, making the armor lighter. At the same time, whalebone has magical powers, it is a type of binder, and when you use too many high-end materials to create a piece of equipment, the use of equipment becomes outrageous, and the addition of whalebone can make these use requirements much lower. Purple gemstones can provide immunity to spells, and when the aquamarine jadeite melts, it is wrapped in soft white jade to absorb magic. These are all the materials you need to build your armor. β
Canny had already taken the materials, and Master Luke effortlessly picked up a huge piece of fishscale steel, and said, "Fishscale steel is a natural good material for making armor, this is the steel that Canny smelted from the ore you brought, you are optimistic." β
Luke pulled out a dagger, this dagger was extremely sharp, and Yang Hai could feel the chill emanating from the blade of the dagger from three positions.
Luke used his dagger to cut a steel flower from the steel. Placed in front of Blake.
"See the scaly structure?" Luke asked.
"See, obviously." Blake looked at the fishscale steel,
"This piece of steel doesn't work yet." Luke said with a smile: "The fish scales are too thick to do any damage reduction, and they play very little, it needs to be poured!" β
With that, Luke dipped the steel in the water, then immediately fished it out and threw it into the iron ingot of the furnace.
With a thud, white smoke rose up.
Luke raised his hammer and began to hammer the scales of steel repeatedly. While fighting, he said to Blake: "Fish scale steel is a type of steel that cannot be forged directly as a raw material, and you have to forge it twice. This layered steel, that scaly-like structure is an innate feature, and what you need to do now is make these scales thinner and more numerous. A piece of fish scale steel, judging the quality is to see who has the most fish scales in the same size. If this piece hadn't been forged just now, it would probably only have a few hundred scales. But if the forged scale steel is forged, the number of scales may even be in the thousands.
Master Luke knocked the original scaly structure to the ground with each hammer, but a miracle happened. No matter how the fish scale layer in front of it was destroyed, on top of the steel that was dented, a new fish scale layer would appear instantly, and Master Luke hit harder he could. The finer the new fish scales.
"At this time, just add opal and adamantite." With a hammer, Luke smashed the scale steel into a large indent, then put the adamantite and opal in at the same time, wrapped the recessed part like a dumpling, and then pushed the iron ingot into the furnace to burn.
"Get the temperature right. If the temperature is low and the adamantite and opal do not melt, it will become very troublesome; The temperature is high. Fusion will be disrupted, and the same will not work, and this degree must be mastered. "Now that the furnace is so hot, they're basically melting," Luke said. The melted opal and adamantite will be firmly bonded to the scale steel, and we can add dragon's blood while the heat is still there. β
Thor's blood was poured in, and the dragon's blood went deep into the scales of the fish and disappeared.
"Next, a solution of dragon's blood, pure gold, and opal will melt into the scale steel." Luke explains, "Dragon's blood is used as a base, while pure gold and opal make the scale steel elastic and layered. Okay, now you can continue to forge and be optimistic about my technique. β
Luke raised his heavy hammer high and struck it steadily after hammer. Luke's drop hammer was heavy and fierce, and it was very stable, and the scale steel was repeatedly forged, and the scale layer continued to grow like an explosion. Under the action of opal and pure gold, the steel is constantly hardening, but Luke's hand is still very steady, and every third hammer, the original scale structure of the fish scale steel will be completely destroyed and reconstructed.
Luke's falling hammer is also very rhythmic and full of beauty. Such a repetitive and mechanical action, but in the hands of Master Luke, it seems that people never get tired of looking at it.
With Luke's precise temperature control, the temperature of the furnace gradually increased, and the fish scale steel began to melt.
"Whalebone!" Luke shouted.
On the side, Conny immediately handed over the already shaved whalebones in order, one, two, three...... The thirteen whalebones, forming a huge skeleton, were pressed into the soft, forged fish scale steel that had become soft, and became the support of the armor.
Luke immediately stopped heating up, wiped a handful of sweat, and put the Heartstone inside, adding the "no dropping, no stealing" attribute to the equipment.
On the plate armor, the non-stealable attribute is automatically erased, as large items such as the breastplate cannot be removed from the body by pickpocketing skills. If pickpocketing was really that bad, wouldn't the thieves have gone to heaven a long time ago. However, not being able to drop is still an important attribute, and Bloodstone is a must.
Luke didn't bother to wipe the sweat off his face, he directly picked up the special large carving knife and began to draw inscriptions on the equipment, and the dragon's blood was drawn by these inscriptions, echoing the inscriptions from afar.
When the inscription was engraved, Master Luke threw a small piece of Mithril into the furnace, and by the time the inscription was finished, the Mithril had almost melted. Luke poured the liquid Mithril down the pattern, and the liquid Mithril quickly flowed all over the pattern and gradually solidified again.
Master Luke glanced at the hourglass next to him - the time was perfect!
He wrapped the soft white jade in melted aquamarine jade, and placed the gem at the heart of the armor, which could be used to absorb magic and use it as a heart guard, killing two birds with one stone. At the same time, a large number of amethysts that had been cut were also taken up by Kangli, and while the temperature was not cold, the stickiness of the armor was still there, and Luke put these amethysts cut into triangular shapes in advance all over the surface of the armor.
Luke took a deep breath and scooped the hot armor out of the furnace and threw it into the quenching pool.
βPOSEIDONοΌβ Luke shouted.
Yang Hai handed the quenching liquid to Kangli, and when Kangli saw the armor enter the quenching pool, he rushed up as soon as possible and poured the quenching liquid on top of the armor. Yang Hai picked up the two demon irrigation scrolls, and took advantage of the good effect of the quenching liquid, and quickly completed the demon infusion.
The last step is cooling, which is done by Luke, who uses a special dust that allows the armor in a hot state to cool down instantly, so that it does not lose too much mana in the cooling process.
As the cooling dust cleared, the first piece of equipment in the set was freshly baked.
Everyone gathered around to admire this treasure.
