Chapter 665

When night fell, looking down from a high altitude, every household in King Ryan's capital lit up the lights, which seemed to have a different kind of exquisite prosperity.

The empty Duke's house, located on the seventh avenue of the Kingdom, has finally quieted down again recently after a period of excitement.

However, with the visit of Cady Lacker, the first alchemy blacksmith of the former principality of Ryan, the Duke of nothingness once again successfully broke into the sight of many nobles. In fact, many nobles still don't understand that someone can become a Duke at the peak of power in less than two years, just like those fairy tales that deceive children.

With the blessing of toshawn, after the war with dabion, the archives of the kingdom of Ryan received the registration of more than 30 pioneering knights from more than ten nobles.

Ambitious people are not just aristocrats who already have status.

It is said that today Ryan's most famous bard intends to write a biography of the Duke Sean Connery.

Of course, at present, those nobles who focus on Sean's empty Duke's residence pay more attention to what Cady Lacker, the alchemist, wants to do when he goes to Sean's house.

After almost ten hours of hard work, Sean and Cady Lacker finally got a break.

At this time, Sean was taking caddy Lacker, a former alchemist from the Principality of lane who now completely placed himself as an apprentice, to the restaurant. Here, the servant and the cook have prepared the dinner in advance. Vinia, Marton, Cecilia, Rena, shefanio and others are at the same table. They still show enough enthusiasm for the arrival of Cady Lacker. After all, a high-level bronze craftsman is very popular on any occasion, as long as it is not hostile.

The time for dinner is not long - in fact, it can be said to be very short.

Perhaps because Sean comes from the earth, he always eats very fast.

Of course, in terms of aristocratic etiquette, Sean's behavior is naturally very impolite. Because according to the aristocratic etiquette, if Sean is a guest, his eating speed must keep the same frequency as the host, neither too fast nor too slow. The most perfect degree is to end at the same time when the host ends a meal; As the host, it doesn't matter if Sean's eating speed is slow, but it can't be too fast, because the time of each dish has the lowest limit, usually about 20 minutes.

However, Sean's eating habits directly omit many steps such as appetizers, pre meals and so on, which is the main course of the meal. Moreover, it often takes only five to ten minutes for him to announce that he is full. According to the aristocratic etiquette of the dinner table, once the host stops the knife and fork when he is full, it is equivalent to announcing the formal end of the dinner. At that time, no matter whether others are full or not, they should stop the knife and fork.

However, because Rena, shefanio and Cecilia have followed Sean for a long time and have been on the battlefield, they are all used to Sean's eating habits and ways. They even think that this is the most standard marching and eating speed - all the soldiers under Sean never eat for more than five minutes, so after a long time, everyone is used to not acting according to aristocratic etiquette.

As for Marton and vinia, although they are elves, they are in a wilderness area with constant war all the year round. Therefore, they have long forgotten the more cumbersome Elven etiquette compared with the human world. Compared with the speed of eating, they are only faster than Sean, so they can naturally keep up with Sean's rhythm.

The only trouble is the middle-aged Cady Lacker.

When he saw that the main course was served directly instead of other appetizers, he was really stunned. Then when he saw the other people's wolfing appearance, his appetite basically disappeared half. But for the sake of politeness, he insisted on eating a little. When Sean stopped the knife and fork, he stopped the knife and fork at the same time - or, for him, it was equivalent to liberation.

At this point, the dinner was officially over - it took seven minutes. It was because Sean was really tired after a day's work, so he ate an extra main course.

"Then, Mr. Cady, I'll arrange for someone to take you back." Sean looked at Cady Lacker and said.

"Wait a minute, Lord Sean." Seeing Sean turning his head to look at Rena, vinia and Marton, Cady quickly said, "Lord Sean, I have something I want to talk to you about. I don't know..."

"Lord Sean, please allow me to leave first." Hearing Katie's words, Cecilia said for the first time, "the magic experiment upstairs has just been half done."

Cecilia never embarrasses Sean in front of outsiders. Although many people now regard her as their sister, they are not related by blood at all. Only aldof, William, clough and Rena know the secret. At this time, Cecilia's words naturally showed great respect to outsiders.

Hearing Cecilia say so, other people are not fools. Naturally, they leave one by one. Of course, Sean won't have any opinion about it.

When there were only Sean and Cady left in the restaurant, Sean said, "Mr. Cady, just say anything."

Cady nodded and said, "I have a few questions for Lord Sean."

"What's the problem?"

"About the black energy burst out during forging and quenching..."

Hearing what Katie said, Sean knew what Katie wanted to say, so he didn't wait for him to finish saying, "that's charging."

"Charging?" Cady wondered, "isn't that the expertise of magicians?"

"Well, you haven't practiced martial arts, so it's normal that you can't understand." Sean thought for a moment, and then said with a more intuitive explanation as much as possible, "there are people like me who have mastered certain martial arts skills and can start fighting. So occasionally we can charge some forged equipment, which can greatly improve the quality of the equipment and even attach some special abilities to it. "

"Special abilities?"

"Yes." Sean nodded slightly, "like forging masters with fire attribute fighting spirit, if they charge the equipment, they can improve the fire resistance of the equipment or attach certain fire attribute related effects. Similarly, if it is other attributes, it can also attach some related attributes and abilities to the equipment, which is the same as the charging of magicians when making jewelry, alchemy props and even magic props. Therefore, I also call it charging. "

"I see." Katie nodded with some understanding, "so in the afternoon, Lord Sean, what effect will you charge for that epic sword... Dark energy?"

"Yes." Sean didn't deny it.

Although people with dark energy are rare in this world, they are not without them.

Magic such as manipulating the dead belongs to the magic of the dark system, but although the necromancer is disgusting and even the expulsion target of the church and countries, he has not been included in the ranks of pagans. Similarly, the warrior with dark fighting spirit will not be treated as a pagan. It can even be said that the dark energy is also one of the supporting points of the world system that constitutes this miracle continent. Therefore, even if there is no evil tendency, it will not cause the same results as dealing with pagans.

While Sean was forging in the afternoon, he finally chose to use 50% of the dark energy to charge the dead bone. Therefore, he had to consume a pilgrim's holy water to suppress the dark energy in his body, and the result of this time was not without harvest for him. At least he probably knew what the so-called "dark servant" would be like.

"Well... Lord Sean, do those high-quality enchanted equipment need to be charged?" Cady asked again.

"No." Sean shook his head to deny Katie's cognitive error, "the so-called charging is actually only an auxiliary means, but it is not necessary. If the quality of the materials you choose is good enough and there are no mistakes in the production process, you can make gold level magic equipment even if you don't need to recharge. What needs special attention is that the idea that high-quality enchanted equipment can be made by charging is also very wrong and dangerous. "

"Why do you say that?"

"For the martial forging master, excessive charging will lead to the complexity and impure fighting Qi in the body, which will not only cause some damage to the body, but also lead to the decline of equipment quality due to the deterioration of fighting Qi quality." Sean opened his mouth and explained, "secondly, not all demonized equipment or even more advanced equipment are suitable for charging, which is also related to the fighting spirit of the martial forger himself Just imagine, if a magic equipment with water element is attached, but you are filled with the fighting spirit of fire attribute, what will be the result? "

Like a schoolboy, Cady Lacker thought about the result of the problem seriously, and then nodded thoughtfully. But soon, he said again, "this can only be said to be a mistake. What about the danger?"

"Dependence." Sean whispered, "and a series of problems arising from dependence."

Seeing the puzzled look on Cady's face, Sean added again: "once you find that charging can improve the quality of equipment, you are likely to rely on this special forging method. In this way, there will be the damage to the forger itself and the reduction of equipment quality as I said earlier. In addition, the greater danger is that it will limit the thinking and innovation of forgers, because you will continue to make equipment more in line with your fighting attributes, and will not try new materials. Over time, it is natural to imagine the results. "

"I see." Katie heaved a sigh of satisfaction on her face.

Sean can understand this look, because he would have such a satisfied look once any difficult problems were solved in the game, or he successfully cleared a copy to obtain a new equipment, props and so on. From this point of view, Cady Lacker and Sean are actually the same kind of people. They have little ambition, but for some reason, they are willing to pay ten times or a hundred times.

"Fighting Qi and charging is also a skill of forgers, but this skill has great limitations." Seeing Katie's look, Sean couldn't help talking more.

Cady nodded modestly.

Of course, he knows what the limitation is - only those who become martial arts can use this special forging technique. As far as Kaidi's age is concerned, even if he wants to become a martial artist, it is impossible now, so he naturally can't use this forging skill. Therefore, he also understood that what Sean said to him was to make him give up this fantastic way of forging.

"And." Seeing the look that Cady already understood, Sean added, "the skill of charging is also high or low. Forgers who are really good at using this skill will not charge at will, but will use it according to the situation, which involves many different application skills You can simply understand it. What I told you in detail is not very good for you. "

"I see." Katie said, "well... Lord Sean, what effect will your recharge yesterday bring to the epic sword?"

"It's hard to say." Sean shook his head, "but it doesn't conflict with the dead bone itself. After all, the main forging material of the dead bone is the leg bone of the demon lord, so the charging of dark fighting Qi can still improve some power and effect. Although the main material used in my transformation is mainly to break demons, in fact, it is also a forging material in the dark direction, but it may be affected by the stone of order, and the dark ability may be restrained to a certain extent Of course, on the whole, the power effect and even the increasing ability brought by epic equipment will certainly increase significantly. "

"I wonder if Lord Sean will take an apprentice." After a little hesitation, Cady Lacker suddenly said bluntly, "with Lord Sean's skills now, it's more than enough to take an apprentice."

Hearing what Katie said, Sean knew that Katie must have thought he was a great master in the forging industry.

However, considering his age, it is obvious that he can't be self-taught no matter how he looks - because even a genius must be led by his master. However, no matter how talented a craftsman is, he can't become a middle goldsmith at the age of 25 or 6. In the history of the goldsmith Association, the youngest goldsmith is 33 years old, which is still a craftsman who is really addicted to the forging world.

And Sean?

His public identity today is not only a duke, an expert in silver, but also a militarist and politician. Although it has not been officially disclosed, many people already know his identity, including prophet, diviner, appraiser and knowledgeable scholar - of course, prophet, diviner and appraiser, Sean thought it could actually be collectively referred to as the divine stick.

You know, although the miracle continent is a world full of miracles and miracles, its essence is still a world that pays attention to no work and no harvest.

So instinctively, Sean didn't want to deny Katie's guess.

"You mean you want me to take you as an apprentice?" Sean looked at Katie.

"Yes." Katie nodded seriously, "I hope to be your apprentice. I want to learn more advanced forging skills."

"Our age gap is a little big." Sean frowned.

"Lord Sean, I remember that you qainas people have a slang saying, 'a teacher is a master'?" Cady said in a deep voice. His attitude and look were very serious and serious without any false color. "Since it is so, age should not be your reason to refuse me."

"But even if you become my apprentice, I don't have much time to teach you." Sean said.

"I know." Cady nodded. "I know, Lord Sean, as a duke, you will be very busy, especially the dabion war just ended and the upcoming fighting sacrifice, but as long as you give me a little advice when you have time, that's enough Moreover, my current forging level can also help you. As long as you agree, Lord Sean, I can go back to the void collar with you later. "

"So what about your industry in Wangdu?"

"I will sell it and invest all my funds in the construction of empty collar."

Hearing what Katie said, Sean would say that he was not excited. It must be false. A high-level bronze craftsman who is impacting the silver craftsman is still very good for the development of a territory. In particular, Sean knows that this era will soon enter the magic guide technology era because of his advance. At that time, ordinary equipment and weapons will be replaced by magic guide weapons, and the status of magicians will be greatly reduced. On the contrary, the status of alchemists will be greatly improved.

Whether in terms of immediate or long-term interests, Sean won't lose anything by tying Cady Lacker and void collar together.

So after thinking for a few seconds, Sean agreed to Caddy's proposal and officially accepted caddy Lacker as an apprentice. Sean didn't keep it a secret. Therefore, Cecilia and others knew that Cady was already Sean's apprentice the next day, but they weren't surprised at all. On the contrary, if Cady wasn't impressed by Sean after seeing Sean's skills, Cecilia, Rena and other talents would really be surprised.

However, it is precisely because of what Sean's followers take for granted, so naturally no one will publicize this kind of thing. Therefore, the outside world does not know that Cady Lacker, the only alchemical blacksmith in the former Ryan Kingdom, has now become Sean's Apprentice. But for those old politicians and nobles who have a keen sense of smell, they still smell something unusual.

Because in the next few days, Cady Lacker officially moved to Sean's empty Duke residence, studied and discussed forging with Sean every day, and watched Sean's transformation of dead bones all the way. In this process, Cady Lacker naturally learned a lot - although these knowledge and skills are very common for players, they are still very powerful in this era. After all, many skills and knowledge were gradually developed and studied by players in the middle of the game.

In this process, Cady gradually understood why Sean could become a goldsmith - of course, this is purely Cady Lacker's own view. Sean is only a player with the help of system functions after all. However, in front of outsiders, Sean is indeed impeccable. Any forging steps are as accurate as instruments and textbooks, without any mistakes and mistakes. It is completely impossible to make any mistakes in such perfect and accurate forging.

Therefore, on the day when the martial arts festival was officially held, Sean finally completed the preliminary transformation of the dead bone.

In the same way, he has also planned the next phase II transformation plan, and has given a new name to the transformed dead bone.

Black king.
