Chapter 309: Magic items specialist
A friend of women? Wasn't that another way of addressing me as a dog and back-up? No, I can't be called that.
Robb hurriedly said, "no, no, no. you're flattering me. I'm not that good."
"I think you are good." the girl looked at Robb's white clothes and said in a low voice, "let's stop talking about this. Let's get to the point. I've heard about your family, and I'm deeply sorry for it. It seems that you are very poor now. If you have any difficulty in your studies, I can help you. My family is rich."
Robb asked, "will I encounter difficulties in my studies because of lack of money?"
The girl asked, "eh? Don't you know that it takes a lot of money to learn how to make magic items?"CHeCk for new stories on no/v/el/bin(.)c0m
Robb was about to ask why, but he suddenly understood. It was said that the magic items needed very complicated materials to make. The "Thors roar fragment" that was brought back by nuolun last time was made from all kinds of rare materials. He knew that those materials were very valuable without thinking.
It was as if there was a "photography major", which required a lot of students to buy photography and camera equipment? You have to buy a computer that can handle videos as well, right? All these things were required, and youll burn your money quick.
It seemed that the junior department of magic items also needed students to buy a lot of messy materials, items and so on. It was simply a money burning subject.
I'm just a poor person. I shouldn't have come here to study this kind of subject. I made a fool of myself.
Robb cursed in his heart, [If I had known it earlier, I would have asked to be set up as a parvenu in the countryside who inherited my grandfather's property. Now I can afford this. As a result, the identity I made for myself was to be a poor illegitimate child. Although it felt very stable and "protagonist-like", how could I get a pile of materials with this poor identity on my head? Damn it!]
Seeing Robb's stiff face, the kind-hearted girl whispered, "tell me what materials you need."
Robb had no choice but to reply, "thank you very much."
When the two of them talked about this, the teacher came in. As soon as he entered the door, everyone was amused. It turned out that he was a skeleton soldier. No, he couldn't be called a skeleton soldier, but a lich.
The oath was over!
Class finally began
Afterward, the basics were over.
After listening to the basics, Robb finally understood some basic principles. It turned out that magic items were made of materials that could bear magic power.
All kinds of metal, gems and other things were good materials for making magic items. After refining these materials, they would be merged and reshaped into a new form. Then they would be engraved with runes, which would bring them all kinds of magical functions.
Strictly speaking, all the weapons and defensive equipment with magic power should be included in the scope of "magic items", but because their attacking and defensive performances were too eye-catching, people forgot the special effects on them.
For example, a weapon that could absorb blood was actually infused with a special material that could contain the magic effect and a "blood drawing rune". When the weapon hit the enemy, it triggered the effect of the "blood drawing rune", so it absorbed blood.
Therefore, a master level blacksmith who could enchant a weapon must also be an expert on magic items.
Robb finally understood why the craftsmen at the master level in the world seemed to be very rare. It would be strange if they werent rare. Only when they were proficient in the skills of a blacksmith and the junior department of magic items could they be qualified to be a good blacksmith.
Unlike in the game, as long as you make special equipment, the equipment itself will have several special properties, random enchantments.
Thinking about it carefully, wasn't the game setting very strange? Why did a blacksmith use a hammer to hit an iron sword? Why did it have such a strange attribute as an extra +5 attack power or an extra +5 magic power? How could it be possible? It was totally unreasonable for it not to need any additional materials.
In the real world, this strange thing naturally had to be created by an expert on magic items.
However, Robb had long been maxed adding enchantments to weapons and defensive equipment. He was not interested in it at all. What he cared about was how to deal with those magic items that could be used in all kinds of strange places. For example, the magic container, which could store magic power and release it when it was needed. It was the thing that he wanted to understand the most.
