Lord of Arcane

Chapter 2250 Journey to Imasca 10
This is not an excuse for Xia Duo, but an idea that came up on the way here. After hearing that the Imasca people are very good at handling materials, he thought of looking for alternative materials for Mithril here.

Or look for Mithril's optimization or "mutation" method.

It's a pity that Imaska ​​is strictly guarded against the creation formula and alchemy formula, and they are not included in the transaction list at all. Of course, even if Xia Duo obtains it, he will not be able to use it for the time being.

Because mage Imaska ​​or craftsman, the processing of materials is based on that special magic system of creation.

If you don't understand the principle of creation, even if you get the formula of creation, it is useless.

……

For Xia Duo's latest request, this time Jason didn't find any excuses to refuse, but agreed immediately without even discussing it with Farman, obviously thinking that Farman would not refuse.

In the end, Xia Duo obtained a total of 1500 pounds of metals of various colors. The total price is still very expensive. If he can find a cheap substitute for Mithril, or find out the mystery of Imasca's creation magic, it will be very worthwhile.

Of course, even if you can't find it, as long as you think that you have only provided 110 arcane energy crystals, there will be no psychological imbalance.

……

After leaving the city of Meto, the magic ship continued to set sail, and under the advice of tax officer Jam, it galloped towards the next city that lacked food.

During this process, Xia Duo and Niya quietly slipped back to the floating city, and together they stored the various metals they had just traded in Meto City in the warehouse.

"Did you see something?" Xia Duo asked when she saw Niya holding a small blue metal ingot in a daze.

Niya shook her head, "No, this metal looks like an alloy doped with fine gold, but just now the Jam tax official said it is a pure metal called Pato, which is really impressive. Puzzling!"

"Alloys can also be pure metals, but there are no impurities. The other party may be deliberately misleading, so don't go too deep into it."

Xia Duo took the metal ingot from Niya, and then took Nya out of the warehouse. On the way to the study on the top floor, he posted a task at the task management office along the way—

"Study the properties of a variety of materials and form a detailed report. The number of material samples is limited, first come first served."

He planned to let the mages of the Tower of Time study it first to see if there was any material similar to Mithril in it. He probably had it.

After all, whether it is an ordinary magic weapon or Imaska's secret weapon, they are all magic items made based on the objective laws of reality, and some things are consistent throughout.

For example, the energy-guiding material, Mithril, which is popular in the Northland, and Imasca’s special magic system can change the material itself. It may not be Mithril, but there must be something similar.

……

Back to the study.

Xia Duo took out the puppet amulet that had been dusty for a long time in front of the projection window, and summoned the puppet itself.

There was no new source of goods before, and he was reluctant to dismantle this puppet. Now that he is in Imaska, if this puppet is dismantled, he can immediately buy new ones, or even better ones. Now he doesn't feel bad at all.

Seeing that Xia Duo summoned a set of armor, Nya couldn't help asking curiously, "What did you summon this set of armor for?"

"This is Imaska's protective puppet! It's also made by the elves!"

The style of the armor is Cormanthor style, but its aura is completely different from common magic items. It is scattered but claims to be a system. If it has not tried its protective function, Xia Duo would not believe that it is also a magic thing.

"This is Imaska's puppet! It doesn't look like it!" Niya looked at it carefully and expressed her opinion.

"Didn't you say it? It's a custom-made elf model, and of course it's not the Imascar style!"

"I didn't mean that, I said that the aura of this puppet is not like a magic item at all, it's more like a pile of materials piled up together!"

Everything in the world has aura. From the perspective of Nether spellcasters, the essence is that when the string of the magic net passes through all things, all things give feedback to the string of the magic net according to their own characteristics.

But magic items are special, because the caster consciously reorganizes some of the strings of the magic net and forms a certain pattern.

However, Imaska's secret weapon (a puppet is also a kind of secret weapon) has the usage characteristics of a magic item, but it does not have the manifestation of a magic item at the aura level.

"Curious! Curious!"

Xia Duo stared at the Cormanthor-style armor puppet in front of him, and murmured, "If we disassemble it and reassemble it, will it still have normal functions?"

"Are you going to tear it down?"

"Yeah, anyway, you can buy new ones outside. If you can figure out the mystery inside, it's worth dismantling a few more."

"That's it! Why don't you try it?"

Niya is also very curious. Although Xia Duo said that this armor is an Imascar puppet, she always feels that it does not look like it. After all, the aura state of this armor is really counterintuitive.

……

Both husband and wife wanted to test the armor puppet. After confirming that there was still some time outside to reach the next trading city, the two immediately started dismantling work in the study.

Because it is not considered a magic item at all in the arcane magic system, but more like a collection of materials, so the details of its internal structure can be easily discovered by using scrying spells.

The disassembly process is very decompressive, a bit like the assembled toys on the earth, they are all fixed with things like buckles and bolts, as long as you find the right position and the right method, you can easily disassemble it.

In the process of dismantling, Xia Duo really found a little bit of the feeling of dismantling toys when he was a child, so that later Niya couldn't get involved at all, and could only watch him play.

After everything that could be dismantled was disassembled, Xia Duo found Niya who was staring at him angrily, and couldn't help smiling, "You are so cute now!"

"You said it!"

"Ha ha!"

Xia Duo laughed twice, and then asked Niya to assemble it by herself. Originally, he wanted to use magic to quickly assemble it, but since Niya has already experienced the fun of this kind of assembled toy, it is only natural for her to fully experience it.

However, when Niya was assembling, Xia Duo was also habitually "pointing out the country", putting together this first and then that, or reminding her not to hit the parts of her legs on her arms.

"You underestimate me, I can do it!"

Having said that, but Niya still quietly cast spells to assist in the assembly, Xia Duo just pretended not to see it, because he found that dismantling by himself was very relaxing, but watching others assemble it was also relaxing.

It took almost double the time of dismantling, and Niya finally assembled all the original armor puppets without any extra parts. Judging from Xia Duo's experience, this should be assembled correctly.
