Artificer Adventure Guide

"Hope! Are you okay?"

After stepping over the scattered things around him, Carl didn't care about putting on clothes and rushed up to hug Hope.

As soon as their bodies touched, Carl found that the other's body temperature was frighteningly high.

"Did he get injured before? No, Hope didn't have any when he hunted this time..."

Anxiously checking the source of the bloodstains, Carl's mind quickly recalled the scenes of the previous hunt.

But soon, Carl stopped moving and his face began to turn red little by little.

"She, her period..."

Menstruation, also known as female uterus and uterus water, is a normal metabolic phenomenon after women enter puberty.

The amount of bleeding varies according to the health of the body.

Hope's situation is already quite serious.

"Fortunately, it's not a sudden illness or hidden injury. In this case..."

Putting Hope on the floor again, Carl turned around and took out his wrench from the dimension bag.

While chanting the spell, Carl gestured in the air with his free hand. With a gentle energy emerging from his fingertips, he immediately squatted down and pointed his finger at Hope.

The energy quickly penetrated into Hope's body. Hope, who was fuzzy in consciousness, suddenly curled up and then slowly relaxed.

"Ka, Carl..."

Opening his drowsy eyes, Hope looked at Carl with a confused face, only to feel that his body was very heavy.

"Do you know your menstrual period recently?"

"Menstrual period?"

At this point, Carl couldn't help but know that Hope probably didn't know much about women's physiological hygiene knowledge and didn't realize that she was "out of shape" recently.

"Forget it, I'll tell you this after you recover. I'll make you a recliner later. It's still a bit cold to sleep on the ground directly."

After that, Carl took out the alchemy pot and the wooden bowl cut from the log from the dimension bag, and prepared a little diluted salt water for Hope to drink.

Electrolytes should be replenished in time after a large amount of blood loss.

"Da Da Da..."

The room was filled with the sound of Carl chopping wood with flint. Hope, who had recovered a little, leaned against the wall and watched Carl working quietly.

This atmosphere made her feel a little "at home".

After a while, Carl placed a barely flat recliner next to him.

"You lie on this first, and I'll do some fine work after I reach level 3."

The Artificer will have a leap forward at level 3.

Because after reaching this level, the Artificer can choose his or her specialization, which is a sub-profession.

There are currently 4 sub-professions for the Artificer, namely the Alchemist, the Artillerist, the Battlefield Craftsman, and the Armorer.

The sub-profession that Carl chose in the academy was the Armorer. When he reached level 3, he could start training the professional characteristics of the Armorer and evolve his Artificer ability towards the specialization of the Armorer.

This evolution cannot be easily changed, just like the job transfer in some games.

After obtaining the characteristics of the armorer, Carl could not obtain other sub-professions of the mechanic.

However, thanks to the magical characteristics of the mechanic who can use any magic props, Carl can also learn the abilities of other sub-professions by himself.

But because there is no corresponding characteristic, both the effect and power are not as good as the corresponding sub-profession.

"You know so many things, why are you only level 1 when we first met?"

Lying on the recliner, Hope looked at Carl who continued to get busy and asked the doubts he had always had.

Rolling his eyes unhappily, Carl turned around and looked at Hope and said:

"Because when I was in school, I spent most of my time learning theoretical knowledge. There are a lot of theoretical knowledge that spellcasters need to learn!"

"Why do you think I can use the corresponding abilities not long after I upgrade now?"

"Before I became a formal mechanic, the theoretical knowledge that mechanics need to know from level 1 to level 4 was already a compulsory test for us!"

Recalling the experience of being busy with exams all day on campus, Carl's eyes were actually a little wet.

"It looks like you guys have a hard time..."

Seeing Carl's burning expression, Hope's mouth twitched. For the first time, he felt that being a spellcaster was not easy.

"Alas~, it's not easy for those of us who are talented. People with high talent can learn it as soon as they hear it, while people with low talent can't even get in."

The foundation of mages and mechanics covers mathematics, physics, biology, chemistry and other aspects of knowledge.

The runes of spells are similar to computer codes.

For science, except for chemistry and biology, which can be learned by rote memorization, mathematics and physics are really unlearnable.

The reason why Carl was able to work as a mechanic with an intelligence of about 12 points is largely because he was a computer major in his previous life, and he successfully got the job after finding the trick to learning spell runes.

Hearing Carl talking about his life in the academy, Hope also became curious.

"High talent? How high?"

This question made Carl a little difficult to express for a while, and even made him put down his work directly.

"Well~, how should I put it? In the second half of the first semester, there was a mage who wanted to be a part-time mechanic. I learned the basic knowledge for a semester, and she didn't come to class for a week. In the final exam, she ranked first and I ranked sixth."

"Sixth? That's not bad?"

"Hey! There are only ten people in the whole class."

"..."

Thinking of her poor performance in learning woodworking, Hope regretfully found that even if she was not a tiefling and had received a good education, she might not have the talent to become a mage or a mechanic.

Seeing that Hope had almost recovered, Carl mixed some salt water and asked Hope to go to the corner to wash herself.

He started making a wooden basin, preparing to tan lizard skin and make a few replacement clothes for the two.

The traditional method of tanning leather requires plant ash, and Carl happened to have the sawdust from making wooden houses and furniture.

He lit a wooden stick with magic tricks in advance, and then used the magician's hand to gather a large group of sawdust into the air.

With a stick close to the sawdust, the flames instantly spread to the entire sawdust mass.

Because of the awakening of psychic power, Carl's magic hand can almost last indefinitely, unless he loses his concentration.

When the sawdust was completely burned into ashes, Carl put the ashes into a wooden basin filled with water, and then continued this operation until all the sawdust was burned.

He picked up two incomplete lizard skins and threw them into the wooden basin. Carl stood up again and began to process the lizard's meat and bones while the alkaline solution was transforming the leather.
