Treasure hunt begins in England

Chapter 890 Enchanting
"You're right. Although my power seems to come from legends, it's not actually the case." Liang En said after listening to Joan's question about the runes on the crucible.

"My power comes from the legend, but it is not limited by the legend, so I don't need all kinds of mysterious symbols or complicated rituals to complete all this."

"As for these runes, I actually added them on purpose. I hope to give others the feeling that I am a researcher of mysticism, so that it will be much more convenient to do some things in the future."

Anyway, there are all kinds of niche fans in this era, but as long as it does not violate the law, does not violate morality, and does not affect other people, it is normal for you to have any hobbies.

And compared to those more individual hobbies, such as Fu Ruikong, an archaeologist interested in the occult obviously seems more reasonable and normal, and it is also easier to be accepted.

After simply adjusting the equipment, Liang En and the others started the first enchanting activity. Because they had never touched it before, Liang En started experimenting with the enchanting power obtained before from the simplest formula.

The first object of enchantment is the small knife that is carried around, and the raw materials used are mainly some special metal materials, such as nickel, chromium, and other metal blocks or wires.

The release ability this time is not much different from the release ability in other situations. With the release of extraordinary power, the selected consumables and the target of the spell are simultaneously wrapped in a golden flame.

It's just that it's different from the feeling of exercising extraordinary power before. When exercising extraordinary power this time, Liang En can feel how his power is changed by those things.

Although he couldn't describe this power specifically, he could clearly feel that he was passing a certain rule contained in one thing to another.

From an anthropological point of view, this is a kind of sympathetic witchcraft, which means that substances can interact with each other through space under a certain mysterious sympathy, and the power of one object can be transmitted to another through some invisible medium. object.

However, compared to enchanting, this kind of power has been used most in history for witchcraft against humans. At least from a historical point of view, there are similar things in both the East and the West.

To take the simplest example, throughout history there have been attempts by people to take revenge or destroy their enemies by destroying or destroying their puppet portraits

They believe that when the portrait of an enemy is injured or destroyed, the enemy himself will also feel pain, be injured or even die.

Interestingly, this practice became a global practice without any communication, whether it is ancient India, ancient Babylon, ancient Egypt, ancient China and ancient Rome, ancient Greek wizards are good at this .

The enchantment that Liang En mastered now is also similar from an anthropological point of view, except that the target of the spell is replaced by an item.

To put it in a more common way, Liang En can convert the special parts of metals such as nickel and chromium into concepts, and then endow them on this steel dagger.

What's interesting is that the whole conversion process is not too long, and the conversion is completed after only 3 minutes, but when all the light disappears, the dagger looks the same as before except for the disappearance of the consumables prepared before.

"Can you tell me what you attached to this dagger just now?" After picking up the dagger and swinging it twice, Joan of Arc said with some doubts.

As a weapon master, she took the weapon in her hand and felt that the weapon was no different from before, no matter the feel or anything else, so naturally she couldn't feel where the effect of the enchantment just now was reflected.

"This enchantment is mainly composed of two parts. One is to make the sword less rusty, and the other part is to make the sword more resilient." Liang En pointed to the place where the metal was placed just now.

"However, if you conduct a simple test, you will find that the raw material of these things is still carbon steel, which means that I have changed their properties without changing the essence of these things."

"But it's actually worthless." Joan looked at the design with some helplessness. "Not counting the extraordinary power you used just now, the materials we consumed just now are enough to buy 2~3 alloy steel daggers, and these and the diamond daggers can also achieve the effect of your enchantment."

"Uh—what you said makes sense, but it's just an experiment." Liang En smiled helplessly, "And this experiment tells me that if you really want to enchant in the future, you have to do things that modern technology can't achieve." .”

The second enchantment experiment was to combine flames with a dagger, and the result was a permanent dagger with a fiery blade.

That's right, this thing looks like a legendary magic weapon, because many of those legendary magic weapons have frost or flames on them.

However, after the actual experiment, they found that the value of this thing is not high, because this weapon that is constantly emitting light and heat is obviously not suitable for actual use.

To give the simplest example, this weapon couldn't find a suitable container to place it at all, and at the same time, the dagger grip was basically impossible to grasp because of the heat conduction of the metal.

Although adding insulation materials and enchanting them can solve this problem, the cost of doing so is far less than the gains.

More importantly, Joan felt that this weapon was actually a soldering iron, and paying so much for a soldering iron was obviously not worthwhile.

Fortunately, not all enchantments are worthless. After trial and error many times, Liang En finally created a gold coin that can increase luck.

It's just that at most he can judge that this gold coin can indeed improve one's luck, but when it can be improved and how much it can be improved is a random existence.

In other words, this gold coin can randomly increase the user's luck for a certain period of time, and the degree of improvement is also random, so the psychological comfort of carrying this thing is much stronger than the actual effect.

"It seems that there is one thing that some fantasy novels don't have, that is, whether it is alchemy or enchanting, it is a very expensive job." After spending a day to complete the work, Liang En counted his consumption today and sighed.Because in just one day, he consumed 37000 euros worth of raw materials, but in the end there were only three pieces of finished products that were worth judging.

In addition to the coin, the other two things are a knight sword and a pistol, among which the knight sword has three enchantments: strong, anti-rust, and sharp.Pistols add speed, toughness, and rust resistance.

Different from simply using cards in the past, Liang En now operates supernatural powers directly, and this also means that he needs to truly understand these powers and use them accurately.

And in the process, he realized that there are only three types of enchantments that can give one thing the most. Of course, he can choose three kinds of enchantments to strengthen the effect of enchantment, but he can also choose three different enchantments to pursue the effect.
