Chapter 468: Blade of Night
Chapter 468: Blade of Night
Xingluo needed to handle the whole process very carefully, as any mistake could lead to its scrapping. It wasn't that Xingluo felt sorry for this alchemical equipment, he bought it in front of his boss mainly to let him know that he had the ability to repair these things and was a genuine alchemist with certain strength. The cursed objects could be restored in his hands, and then it would be convenient for him to integrate into the place and gather some information. After all, small towns like this were very xenophobic, and they must have some other purpose for letting them in. If they didn't get acquainted quickly, both of them would be in danger.
Xingluo stretched after finishing his work. Although the work was not long, it required high concentration and any slackness might lead to failure. Fortunately, his mental strength was strong and he just needed to close his eyes and rest for a while. Xingluo raised his hand to remove the magic circle and walked out. He wanted to see what Camilla was doing.
There was a knock on the door and Camilla's voice came from inside. Xingluo pushed the door open and found that the other party was training her tentacles. Looking at the speed at which the tentacles pierced out, Xingluo had no doubt that these tentacles could easily pierce through the flesh. Today was the first time he saw one of Camilla's methods of attack. There were many types of abyss creatures, and their attack methods were even more varied. Many books did not record all of them. At least there was no record in the books about what kind of creature Camilla was. What's more, some abyss creatures were constantly evolving, and the direction of evolution was not fixed. As a result, there might be records of more powerful demons in the books, but only some common races were written about abyss creatures.
"How is it? Are you used to living here?" Xingluo asked casually.
Camilla's tentacles softened again after seeing Xing Luo, "This place is so great. I usually sleep on the floor."
Xingluo paused for a moment before remembering that the other party was a mercenary-like existence. After accepting a mission from the Abyss Society, he would go deep into dangerous places to collect materials. Most of the time he slept on the ground, and it was rare for him to sleep on a bed.
Xingluo nodded: "I won't eat the food. If you want to eat anything, go ahead and eat it. I'll pay for it."
Camilla's tentacles twitched. "Okay, I won't be polite with you."
Xingluo did not leave the inn. After all, they were outsiders to the people in the small town, and running around everywhere would attract attention. Before those magic equipment were completely repaired, Xingluo did not intend to show up in public.
The second item to be repaired was a dagger called "Blade of Night". This dagger had been broken into two pieces, and its sharp blade was covered with notches, looking scarred. Xingluo first took out the alchemical furnace from the space ring to heat the broken part to make it soft, and then quickly used the alchemical method "fusion" to connect the two blades together again. The next step was a complicated and tedious grinding and polishing process: he used a magic grinding wheel machine to gradually remove the notches on the blade, and constantly adjusted the angle to ensure that every edge was flawless.
The most important part of this work was to carve a rune array on the hilt in order to restore its original magical properties. He carefully recalled the ancient documents he had read before, and carved each rune pattern one by one according to the records in them; when the last rune was completed, a dark blue lightning flashed across the surface of the dagger - this was a symbolic sign of its power returning!
The seemingly simple repair process requires that no mistakes be made in any step, otherwise all previous efforts will be wasted, and the backlash of energy is enough to cause great trouble to high-level magicians. Xingluo cannot withstand this level of energy backlash now, so he will be extra careful when doing this, and will rehearse it countless times in his mind before letting go. Fortunately, with his powerful mental strength and skilled alchemy skills, he completed the repair of the dagger. Xingluo waved the dagger a few times, dancing out graceful arcs. The magical fluctuations contained in it made people shudder. Xingluo nodded. Although he didn't know how long the dagger had been damaged, it was also a sense of accomplishment to be able to make the magic light flash again in his hand. Xingluo casually put the two repaired pieces into the storage ring. Now only the last piece of equipment needs to be repaired. He thought for a moment and finally did not take out the Starry Sky Hourglass. Although it can change the flow of time, it also requires energy to drive the Starry Sky Hourglass.
The last thing to deal with is a mysterious armor - "Endless Abyss". This armor is made of multiple layers of rare materials, including dragon scales, phoenix feathers and chaos ore. But now it is badly damaged, and what's worse is that some important parts have obvious holes due to corrosion. The reason why Xingluo bought these things is because he liked this armor. Although it is badly damaged, the materials used are extremely exaggerated. If it can be repaired, he can even wear it directly as his regular armor.
Xingluo first dismantled the damaged part, and took out the dragon scales and demon skins he had collected from the ring to replace them; fortunately, the phoenix feathers were not damaged, otherwise he really couldn't repair them. In order to ensure the overall stability and durability, it was necessary to carry out multiple reinforcements. Xingluo reinforced it over and over again without even frowning. His focused look had an indescribable charm. It was a pity that no one was around, otherwise he would have attracted the attention of many female magicians. After completing the basic repairs, he also had to apply special defensive spells and defensive arrays to the entire armor - these steps not only require skilled skills, but also require a high degree of mental concentration, otherwise the slightest mistake may ruin all the previous efforts.
Xingluo replaced the damaged dragon scale. He found that the dragon scale was pierced by a sharp blade. The edge of the hole was a little burnt. Xingluo was slightly stunned. The dragon scale itself has a certain toughness and extremely high defense. Even the sky knight holding a magic weapon can hardly penetrate it. Could it be that this armor was pierced by a demigod knight? Is there a demigod here? Or did the shop owner just get it by chance? The moment Xingluo touched the armor with his mental power, a vivid picture squeezed into his mental world.
It was in an open space surrounded by an ancient forest. It looked a bit like the outside of this town, but there was no town in the picture, but bare ground. This shocked Xingluo. He saw a demigod knight standing in the glory of fighting spirit, and his armor was shining with a strange glow under the moonlight. This knight seemed to be a celebrity here. Many people exclaimed. His strength and courage seemed to have been praised by the people for a long time. Today, he will face the biggest challenge of his life, a dragon.
