Lord of Arcane

Chapter 613 Distilled Dragon Slayer Weapon
After explaining a few words to Layton, Xia Duo returned to the Tower of Time overnight, contacted Cecily to get a bunch of glass bottles and jars from the supplies department, then found a random workshop on the public floor, and started to work.

The first thing he made was a distillation device. There is no such equipment in the Tower of Time. Although the Tower of Time also produced some magic potions, the magic potion is not so much a "medicine" as a kind of liquid magic. thing.

The maker doesn't need to understand pharmacology at all, and doesn't need too complicated making tools. Xia Duo can only choose to make it himself. Fortunately, as long as there is ready-made glass, it is not difficult to make.

In other words, compared to Mithril components with complex structures and high precision requirements, this kind of distillation decoration that does not require high precision and complex structures can be described as very simple.

After a while, Xia Duo made a large distillation bottle and a long condenser tube.

Then he took out a bucket of low-alcohol ale from his portable space for water storage, scooped some up with a decanter, connected it to a condenser tube, and placed it directly on the alchemy circle.

Although Xia Duo doesn't know the boiling point of alcohol and water in this world, there will always be a difference. At most, the water coming out of the condenser is nothing more than that.

The temperature in the distillation bottle gradually increased, and some mist gradually appeared above the bottle. Xia Duo stopped the temperature rise in time, and it didn't take long for the first drop of liquid to flow out from the other end of the condenser tube.

No need to actually taste it, the pungent smell says it all.

After roughly mastering the distillation temperature, Xia Duo set up the receiving container, then went to the other end of the experimental bench, found a chair and sat down, and began to design the dragon-slaying weapon.

Of course, he didn't make the wine for himself. Xia Duo didn't like the taste of alcohol, and he also hated the feeling that his consciousness was no longer in control. He did all this just to ask Broto, the dwarf of Savile Land, to help him build weapons.

Although the Tower of Time has ready-made fine gold, it can be processed into any shape through the alchemy circle, but there are differences between the shape and the actual use, such as internal stress, toughness, and rigidity.

A master blacksmith helped to hammer a few times, not to mention anything else, even psychologically, it felt better.

Furthermore, direct use of pure fine gold is not necessarily the best choice. There are still alloys on the earth, and there may not be no fine gold alloys with stronger performance here.

……

If you want to slay a dragon, the most ideal weapon is of course a bow and arrow, which can damage the target without touching it, but in practice, this is not the case.

Xia Duo had seen the phantom of the green dragon during the snowmelt competition. With such a huge body and covered with scales, how could it be possible to kill it with just a few arrows?

Unless it is a magic arrow with special lethality.

If you want to kill a dragon with ordinary weapons, not to mention impossible, at least you must have the ability to break through the dragon scales. "Sharpness" is the first element. In theory, as long as it is sharp enough, maybe a string is enough to slay a dragon.

Of course, it is impossible to make such a weapon in reality, so "sturdyness" also needs to be considered. After all, no matter what method is used to break the dragon scale, it is essentially the impact of two materials.

If it is not strong enough, "sharp" will have no basis for existence.

Xia Duo doesn't expect to be able to kill in one hit, so the weapon must be considered to be reusable multiple times. In addition, the size of the weapon is also very important. After all, the imaginary enemy this time is a giant dragon, so it is not possible to use a dagger to slay the dragon!

Of course, when designing weapons, Xia Duo didn't need to consider too many factors, even if it was just a fantasy, it was the forger who was the most difficult, not himself.

Xia Duo designed a total of three weapons, a javelin, which is actually an enlarged version of the arrow (head), and a machete, if you have to use melee combat as a last resort, maybe you can try this.

The first two are basically very conventional. Even though the style of the machete is different from the mainstream melee weapons of Netheril, it is still a melee weapon.

What he was really interested in was the last weapon—a flying shuttle, of course it could be called a "flying sword".

Xia Duo once used [Flight] to control [Blade of Negation] to attack in the projection plane, although there are various disadvantages, such as not fast enough, not flexible enough, and the control time is greatly reduced after impact, etc.

But it is undeniable that this can almost be regarded as the cheapest "magic weapon".

In Xia Duo's mind, it can almost be compared with an electromagnetic gun, but unfortunately, in this world, "electricity" is not the movement of electrons, but the realization of elements, and of course "magnetism" cannot be produced.

"Magnetism" is also another materialization of elements, which can be converted into each other with "electricity", but it is definitely not possible just by relying on a metal coil. How to transform, Xia Duo has not figured out for the time being.

In this magical world, the macroscopic physical manifestations of various substances are very similar to those on the earth, but when it comes to the essence of matter, it is completely different.

The most obvious example is [Flight], which is similar to anti-gravity. This is no different from manipulating time and space on earth, and requires powerful energy, but in this world, it is just a third-level spell.

If you just want to simply levitate, even a 0-ring [Mage Hand] can do it.

Obviously, the space-time and matter of these two worlds are fundamentally different, even though some physical phenomena are so similar.

It is theoretically possible to make an electromagnetic gun in the magical world, but it can only be said to be a ["magnetic" ejection weapon] and has nothing to do with electricity.In terms of achievable difficulty, it is actually far less easy than [Flying Art], which is targeted by the series of transformation spells [Sword Control].

……

For the first two weapons, Xia Duo just drew a rough sketch. After all, he is not a professional designer of cold weapons. It will be enough for Broto to improve it a little. Alcohol (alcohol?) is not so easy to drink.

However, the flying shuttle needs to be carefully designed, mainly to integrate the [Space Breaking Array] into the flying shuttle. This magical technology derived from the ancient elf magic arrow can create a miniature vacuum environment around the arrow body. (242 chapters)
This is also the main reason why the magic arrow is silent. As for the extreme speed, there is another magic circle blessing, which Xia Duo has not analyzed yet.

However, he has already researched the special [Sword Control Technique], in terms of extreme speed, he believes that this spell will not hold back.

……

Time passed little by little, and there was a pungent alcohol smell in the workshop. Xia Duo added some original wine to the decanter from time to time, and then returned to the other end of the experimental table to continue designing the shuttle weapon.

The design of magic weapons is far more complicated than that of ordinary magic items. The most troublesome thing is that the mithril components of magic weapons must be designed on the surface of the weapon.

Only when the weapon is finished can it be added to it, instead of the mithril components that can be prioritized like ordinary magic items, and the shape is only attached.

The shape of the magic weapon is the main body.

Fortunately, Xia Duo was not unprepared before. He had been designing his own flying sword for a long time, but he could not analyze the spells related to [Extreme Speed] from the magic arrow, and he had no special needs for flying swords before, so Design has long since stalled.

Now it is just to regain the previous progress, and it can be regarded as familiar with the road.
