Chapter 148: Money, Money, Money...
The magic crystal dagger seemed to be unable to withstand the baking of magic flames. The edges had begun to melt, and it seemed that some iron mud had fallen to the ground when it was deep in the forest.
The dagger's body is already bumpy, and the dagger blades are all high and low. Even if Betina sees this dagger again, I believe she would not think it is her dagger.
Xu Mu's heart was just happy not long after, as if it was drained by cold water.
If even magic crystal equipment cannot resist magic flames, then even if he really figures out magic sword skills, what's the use? Could it be that magic crystal equipment should be used as consumables every time he uses magic sword skills?
If you use magic sword skills once, will one magic crystal equipment be scrapped?
No matter how rich you are, it is not used like this!
Xu Mu sat cross-legged on the bed, holding the magic crystal dagger in his hand, and his thoughts were emitting.
It's been said that it's scrapped, but the magic crystal dagger has become a bit worn, and it's hard to take it out in such a look.
However, if you don’t care about the appearance, you can still use today’s magic fire blade a few times... But then the magic crystal dagger may be really scrapped.
Just as Xu Mu pinched the magic crystal dagger and looked at it carefully, he suddenly discovered something strange.
The original red pattern of the dagger was not destroyed!
"Did the magic flame just melt the raw materials forged by the dagger itself, and the magic crystals that have been tempered in have not been melted?"
The magic crystal equipment circulating now is made of rare materials, first forged and then tempered the magic crystal stone into the molded equipment.
Therefore, the magic crystal equipment is called magic crystal equipment, not because its main material is magic crystal stone, but because these equipment has been tempered into magic crystal stone.
However, Xu Mu looked at the dagger in his hand and began to be stunned again.
"What melts is the forged raw materials, and the quenched magic crystals have not melted..."
If the equipment created by magic crystal is used as the complete main material, can it withstand magic?
Thinking of this, Xu Mu immediately understood why no one could have studied the relationship between magical sword skills.
"If you guessed the innate conditions of magical sword skills, you need to use magic crystal equipment to use magical sword skills."
"However, the magic crystal equipment is not entirely made of magic crystals, so only the magic crystals that have been tempered can withstand the power of magic flames."
"Most of those who use magic crystal equipment are bounty hunters from the army and guilds. After all, magic crystal equipment only requires a little magic power to make magic crystal equipment suck a huge role, thereby reducing the gap between the army and the magic envoy. Some magic crystal equipment can be used even if there is no magic power."
"A nobleman only needs to learn magic well. How can he consider magic crystal equipment? They will consider magic wands that can attach magic. After all, nobles do not practice weapons and skills at all, so they will naturally not be interested in magic sword skills. Magic crystal equipment is more of a decoration for nobles..."
"What opportunities do the army and guild bounty hunters who know weapons skills have to study magic seriously and what magic sword skills do they need?"
Xu Mu seemed to have awakened and finally understood the real reason why magic sword skills could not be born in this world.
It’s not that some people are stupid and unwilling to try, but that people who have the conditions to create are not interested in it, and those who are interested in it do not have that opportunity.
After all, it is just magical crystal equipment that blesses magic, and such a simple thing can be tried by anyone.
But the nobles would not try this, but others would not dare to use magic crystal equipment like this...
Because it's too expensive.
For example, the magic crystal dagger in his hand was only enough for Xu Mu to use the magic fire blade three times, and it only had stripes of patterns and nothing else. The magic crystal that was tempered in could not be warmed up and obtained support through other materials, and could only be scrapped.
A magic crystal stone the size of a thumb has a good texture and costs 20 silver coins. The magic crystal dagger in my hand has tempered at least 4 magic crystal stones the size of a thumb.
This is the cost of the magic crystal stone, plus other materials of the equipment itself, as well as the craftsman's operation fee, etc. The magic crystal dagger in his hand is worth more than 2 gold coins, and it is the least.
The main purpose of Betina's magic dagger is not to use, but to be beautiful.
The dagger sheath is built with a few gems, and the price is definitely not low...
A magic crystal dagger costs 2 gold coins at the lowest price. How can those military personnel and bounty hunters be willing to use it to experiment with magic? You must know that their money is hard-earned.
"If you make a real magic crystal sword, how much does it cost..."
Xu Mu had an idea in his heart. Since only the magic crystal stone can resist magic and he was unwilling to use magic crystal equipment as consumables, he could only customize a magic crystal long sword with magic crystal stone as the main material.
The tempering of magic crystal stones and forging of magic crystal stones are two different things.
Tempering is to quench the most essential power of magic crystal into equipment.
Forging must be done like other equipment and must be tempered after repeated tempering. In particular, it is difficult to encounter a complete large piece of magic crystal. It can only be forged by melting many magic crystals into molding and then cooling down.
However, the blacksmith only needs to use magic when tempering magic crystals. However, to create all-magic crystal equipment... it requires magic flame forging from beginning to end, and the artificial prices are also different.
Besides, the magic crystal as big as a thumb has been forged, and it is estimated that the size of a fingernail is still the size of a fingernail.
A whole magic crystal long sword...how many magic crystals do you need?
An astronomical figure appeared in Xu Mu's brain, which scared him to tremble all over.
"Sure enough, I still have to make money well... I'll talk about the idea of the real magic crystal sword in the future."
...
The next day, Xu Mu hurriedly got up and rushed to the princess courtyard to find Anna to practice swords. No matter how she trained her swordsmanship, she could not let go.
Ran Anna saw that Xu Mu's eyelids were a little black and her expression was a little tired. She obviously hadn't had a good rest, so she even cared about it.
Xu Mu could only force himself to keep his energy and waved his hand and said it was okay.
After all, he made a preliminary attempt in magic sword skills last night, although he made great progress.
However, more problems and confusion followed, which made him feel very confused last night and it was difficult for him to fall asleep.
After the swordsmanship training, Xu Mu returned to the dormitory to bathe and adjust his state before heading to the duel arena, preparing to meet Ai Lu and Luya, and start today's team battle.
At the entrance of the duel arena, Ai Lu and Luya came together. As soon as they arrived, they saw Xu Mu was already waiting for them.
When they got closer, they saw Xu Mu actually counting what he was holding a small bag.
"7...8...9..." Xu Mu sighed, "Are there only 9 magic crystals? And they are all so small..."
Xu Mu's magic crystals were all asked for from Ai Lu. Because Ai Lu had no need for other magic crystals, the magic crystals given to Xu Mu were also fire-type.
"What are you doing?" Ai Lu approached and saw Xu Mu murmured in vain.
Xu Mu came back to his senses and shook his head quickly: "Nothing." After saying that, he stuffed the magic crystal stone back into the small leather bag and tied it back to his waist.
"Isn't this the magic crystal that I gave you before? Why, can you use it today?" Ai Lu had sharp eyes and could tell at a glance that the small leather bag was used by her to install magic crystal for Xu Mu.
"Look at it, maybe it's useful..." Xu Mu's eyes rolled and he looked at Ai Lu with a smile: "Ai Lu, how many magic crystals do you have?"
