Collectors of Beauty World

Chapter 159 Enchanted Weapon
Magic weapons are luxury goods no matter which world they are in.Perhaps only a world with magical supercomputer is qualified to equip all armies with magic weapons.

But Lu Xiao was different from them.He is terrible at alchemy and enchantment.I can't do anything and my hands-on ability is average.

But because I have traveled through many worlds.Therefore, you can always find the information you want from various worlds of knowledge.

Just like the current Spear of Judgment.In the world of mummies, this thing is an artifact-level super weapon.But after leaving that world, Anubis's divine power could not be connected, and the power of this thing dropped not a little bit.

Now it has become a simple demon-breaking weapon.The rune effects on the Spear of Judgment mainly have two attributes: destruction and demon-breaking.Destruction of this attribute cannot be achieved by ordinary magic.Needs divine support.

Without the divine power of Anubis, Lu Xiao needs to inject his own divine power when using it.However, he has very little magical power, so this thing is not cost-effective.

But its demon-breaking properties are very valuable.This thing can kill the Scorpion King, actually more because the Scorpion King is a magical creature.And this thing is designed to kill magical creatures.

Naturally, there are similar weapons in this world.

The most famous one is the enchanted bow and arrow among the elves.Because of their longevity, the elves have many magic masters and craft masters.You can make bows and arrows with various enchanted properties as you like.

However, these things will basically not be exported, but are extremely expensive to make.The human world has also imitated and designed some spears with demon-breaking properties.

Its main effect is to destroy the magical effects of the target enemy.Most of the spear bodies of these demon-breaking spears are made of rare magical metal materials.For example, a small amount of mithril or other magical metals may be added to ensure that the spear itself has strong magic transmission capabilities.

That's right, magic can only be countered with magic.If you want to break the demon, you must first use magic.

With magic conductivity, powerful magic-breaking magic can be applied to the spear body, such as "breaking magic", "dissolving magic", etc. In this way, these spears or other spells can attack the magician's defense system. create a threat.

If the magician only uses ordinary shield spells, he may be directly killed when attacked by this kind of weapon.

The rune system is also very developed in this world.But the threshold is higher, and it is only controlled by some high-level mage groups.

They can engrave powerful runes on the spears. For example, most of these runes are converted from Elvish, Dragonic, and even Abyssal languages, which have their own magical powers.Only in this way can the runes themselves have magical power.These runes further increase the weapon's ability to destroy magic.

Of course, at this point, costs have already started to be reported.And it is not impossible if a deeper transformation is carried out.

Gems, gems are important materials in the process of casting spells.Almost all gems have a basic attribute, which is the ability to store magic power.It doesn't matter if it's ruby, sapphire, crystal or diamond.In this way, gemstones are born with powerful magical plasticity.

Insert gems with magical properties into the appropriate locations on the weapon.It's an extremely extravagant approach.Because gems can store a lot of magic power.Therefore, you only need to engrave a complete magic circuit on the gem or weapon, and add a simple trigger condition.Then this weapon will become a completely magical weapon.

Not just the kind that can break demons.The weapon itself can cast magic directly.

This kind of weapon can basically become a collection of great nobles and be passed down in the family.

The more advanced step is the internal structure.Interior remodeling is a more general term.

To put it simply, it is to set up a highly integrated magic circle with compound effects at the appropriate position of the weapon.

The magic circle is an upgraded version of the magic circuit.This thing generally requires a wide space, a lot of materials, and even a lot of people to practice to complete.

Think about it, what kind of technology and means are needed to integrate a magic array that takes up several hundred square meters into a weapon.

The materials alone are enough to bankrupt a middle-class noble.Even the best gemstones cannot withstand this kind of integration.

To complete this kind of enchantment, a complex of large amounts of advanced materials is needed.The top gems are like the moon stone of the elves, the heart of the mountain of the dwarves, or the dragon crystal of the adult dragon.

Only gems of this level can withstand such a highly integrated magic circle.But this is just the beginning.

A simple gem can barely bear it.In order to smoothly guide the effect of the magic circle, ensure that the user will not be harmed, ensure that the spell can hit the opponent, ensure that the weapon will not be damaged by the spell, etc., all the detailed requirements can be met.

Just need a weapon torso of the same level.Most weapons of this level are staffs.Because he is not a spellcaster, he cannot control this weapon.

The weapon itself requires high-purity fine gold and mithril.Only in this way can we withstand the backlash of magic.At the same time, the effect of the magic circle is smoothly guided.

This kind of weapon can no longer be a weapon in the conventional sense.Under normal circumstances, only the royal family of the country, or nobles who have lived for more than a thousand years may inherit one.

And it’s impossible to take it out and use it casually.Because this kind of weapon is so precious, once it is damaged, no one in the world may be able to repair it.Therefore, unless absolutely necessary, these things exist but cannot be seen.

Having said so much, it is not just nonsense.Lu Xiao's magic-breaking weapon is to combine the enchanting technology of this world with his magical knowledge from previous worlds, and try to deduce a brand new series of magic weapons.

He didn’t ask too much for the first product in this series.Just the most basic demon-breaking function.Especially for the destruction of necromancy.

Because it is mainly to deal with the Torre people.The bodies of Torre assassins are all undead bodies.Conventional weapons cannot kill.Therefore, some targeted arrangements must be made.

Lu Xiao was very confident at first.With his status as a time traveler, this is not something he can do lightly.But when it came to practice, he finally understood.

Why is magic so advanced in this world?But magic weapons are still so rare in the army.Because there is an almost unsolvable problem here.That is, soldiers are not magicians. They have no magic power and cannot activate the runes on their weapons.

There are two types of runes.One is a simplified version of the magic circuit.It has no effect on its own and needs to be infused with magic power.Can produce some magic-like effects that are simple and direct.The power is not weak, but the effect is single.That’s why it’s called quasi-magic.

This is what Lu Xiao used in his weapon development work from the beginning.It is simplified from the Spear of Judgment.It was also integrated with the demon-breaking runes of this world.

So the above problem arises.This rune itself has no effect.If you want to use it, you have to inject magic power first.So it ultimately failed.

Then start the advanced version.Use magic runes.This is what I mentioned earlier, using more advanced runes that are inherently magical.

In fact, the runes of the Spear of Judgment are theoretically ones that are inherently magical.But what is embarrassing is that there is no Anubis in this world.Plus it's a simplified version, so it completely loses its effect.

But magic runes will create a new problem.That is conventional weapons, which cannot use magic power.That's right, just engraving those runes will cause a certain amount of wear and tear on the weapon.

If a spear is engraved with magic runes, the holder may not be able to get out of the city gate, and the spear will break or even explode.This thing is more dangerous than a gun exploding.

But if all were replaced by magic materials.That would be even more outrageous.The cost is too high and Neverwinter City cannot sustain it.

The simpler the problem, the more unsolvable it is.Lu Xiao finally understood why several worlds came down.Magic weapons are so rare.This thing does have an almost unsolvable threshold.

However, Lu Xiao did not give up and still tried tirelessly to find a solution.

"Why must we solve this problem? Have you ever thought that it might not have a solution at all?"

"No, it must be possible."

The reason why Lu Xiao is so sure.It was because of his knowledge of that pre-magical civilization.Since the other party can create super magic props like floating cities.Entire civilizations have been covered in magic.This means they must have solved the problem.

"Magical creatures are very dangerous. Generally, only more powerful spellcasters have the ability to target them. Very few mages will specialize in studying this kind of weapon for ordinary people. Your subject in this world itself is There’s a lack of build-up.”

Sophia did not believe that Lu Xiao could succeed.But Lu Xiao seemed to have thought of something.

"What did you say?"

"I said your topic is too unpopular."

"No, the previous sentence. You said magical creatures, right?" Without waiting for the other party to answer, Lu Xiao said it himself.Just now, a spark flashed in his brain.

"Magical creatures must have magic in their bodies, right?"

"Of course."

"So, it doesn't matter whether our soldiers have magic or not, as long as the opponent has magic in their body."

"???Are you kidding me? What's the difference between that and letting them commit suicide?"

"No, there is a difference."

Lu Xiao's eyes suddenly lit up because he had just thought of an interesting idea.

"If we design a rune sequence. It itself has no magic power, but the triggering conditions are very sensitive and simple. It will be triggered as long as it comes into contact with magic power. Do you think it is possible?"

"." Sophia was stunned for a moment.Then thoughtfully. "Theoretically it's possible. But the runes for breaking demons definitely can't be that simple."

"It doesn't matter, we can separate one level. Use a set of simple runes to detonate more complex demon-breaking runes."

"It's a bit troublesome to need two sets of rune systems. But it does avoid the cost issue. The key lies in the combination of the two sets of runes. And the sensitivity of the triggering conditions.

There is another problem, that is, with two sets of runes, the magic feedback will be more severe.This also means that all weapons can only be used once. "

"These are not problems. They can be solved slowly in the future. The current task is to create a batch of weapons that ordinary soldiers can use. Even if they are one-time use, it is totally fine. Neverwinter City's financial resources can fully support this kind of consumption.

We now need to take out the first-generation product and then put it into actual use.As long as it is successful, you can continue to improve in the future. "

Just do what you say, Lu Xiao's understanding of magic has reached a considerable level over the years.It's just that the two subjects of runes and alchemy are not very good.Now I just take this opportunity to make up for it.

This kind of weapon development is best done on weapons like swords.Because the runes must be engraved on metal parts.Only in this way can it pierce the enemy's body.This triggers a subsequent chain reaction.A piece of wooden light armor would block it, and it would have no effect at all.

But in this case, a problem will arise.That is, the swords are too short.You need to be close to use it.When stabbing a Torei, you may also be injured by the opponent's weapon.

The most important thing is that once the rune is activated.Enchanted weapons are expected to explode directly.This is very similar to the self-destructing spear in the movie.

If the distance is too close, the metal fragments will directly injure the soldiers themselves.

But the spear also has its own weaknesses.That is, the spear head is too short, which is very detrimental to rune carving.

Fortunately, this problem is relatively easy to solve.

"We need a new batch of spears. The metal spearheads are lengthened. At the same time, the poles are made of lighter wood. Because they are disposable, they will explode after use. So we don't need very good materials.

I don't need my soldiers to rush up and fight the Torei people hand to hand.On your own territory, if you have an advantage in numbers, just let the spears of the group come close to pierce them.It would be better to equip them with a shield in their left hand.Used to block the fragments after the spear explodes. "

"You can also add a mask to the helmet. This can save a shield. Soldiers can also attack with both hands more powerfully and accurately."

This opinion was raised by Sophia.She has now begun leading the research project.Started to actively put forward various opinions.This opinion is very practical.

"Yes, actually, I have more ideas. We can turn the head of the spear into a detachable one. Anyway, the spear will only explode a short distance from the top. Just control the strength of the backlash. It is completely possible to make a reserved interface. After the spearhead bursts, replace it with a new one."

"It makes sense. But I think the first batch doesn't need to be so troublesome. We need to make a suggested version first. As you said. The first batch is just a test version. We can slowly improve it later."

The design of the runes was split equally between the two.Lu Xiao is in charge of the demon-breaking rune group.And Sophia is in charge of the trigger group.

Lu Xiao was extremely interested in this enchanted weapon.In his conception, this thing was not only used to deal with the Torre people.

If the weapon is continuously upgraded, can it be used against that target?After all, the dragon is also a magical creature! !
