201 Heavily Refined Equipment Part 2 (1/2)
It was an item which resembled a bone whistle, and it could be put into the mouth. The hollow center contained a bone needle, and Nailisi could blow this needle to hurt her enemies.
Lex followed Nailisi’s drawing and tried to make this item, and wasted a massive amount of bones before successfully creating one.
”What is this?”
Saleen looked at the small piece of bone which had been crafted into the shape of a horn. On top of it, there was a narrow hole for a blow dart to pass through. A normal blow dart could hardly harm a target even if it was made from metal. However, this bone needle was heavy as it had been refined from a large piece of dragon’s bone. As long as it could be blown out, normal combat armor would never be able to withstand the impact, unless it was magic armor.
”I am equally clueless. This item…” Nailisi started thinking to herself. This item is like a bow for an imp. It can be used to kill stronger creatures such as demons or spirits which rely on a supreme demon.
Lex tried, but realized that she could not activate this piece of hornlike equipment. Nailisi took the small horn and put it into her mouth. Lex placed a piece of metal in front of Nailisi. The metal was a piece of black gold which had not yet been refined. Nailisi blew gently and a fine white line flew out of her mouth, accurately striking the center of this piece of black gold.
Chi! The bone needle penetrated the black gold ore and nearly came out of the other end. The bone needle had thorns all over it after its refinement. When the needle entered the black gold ore, it had spun about furiously, creating a large opening nearly the size of a person’s wrist in the black gold ore. Had this needle been aimed at a person, the person would surely have been killed. If the needle penetrated the abdomen, the intestines would definitely be mashed, not to mention the brain.
When Lex had been carrying out the refinement, she had been well aware that one of the reasons the bone needle could break black gold ore was because of its high spinning speeds, and also because it was razor sharp and heavy. Unfortunately, this item could not be mass produced. Furthermore, even though dragon bones were utilized in its production, the success or failure of the production was entirely dependent on luck.
Lex was not disappointed at all. Anyway, from Sika’s armor, she had already amassed a great deal of experience, so she could use that method in the production of armor for the Bitter Water Army in the future.
The main event was the refinement of magic robes. Lex had added large amounts of the hair from the tiago to the magic robes which belonged to Saleen and herself.
These two magic robes were rare boutique items. Lex’s multicolored magic robe was self-explanatory. On the other hand, Saleen’s magic robe had been refined by Lex’s teacher for dozens of years before he had managed to achieve success with it.
For most magic robes, the duration for refinement would only be a month or two regardless of the quality of the materials used. However, the time it took to refine those two magic robes was calculated in the dozens. If the time used to prepare the materials was also added in, then the amount of effort which had been concentrated into these two items would be even more astounding than it was already.
There were two benefits to refining the magic robes with the tiago’s hair. The first benefit, for Saleen, was that he could wear the magic robe all the way until he was grade-9. His demonic set possessed similar attributes to that of Lex’s multicolored magic robe. Furthermore, after the grey magic robe was refined, it was able to defend against razor sharp weapons. The second benefit was related to Lex. Her multicolored magic robe was good, but it was too conspicuous. When a commoner saw it, they did not know that it was high grade equipment, and when an expert saw it, it was far too alarming.
Once the hair from the tiago was refined into the magic robes, Lex and Saleen became mages clad in magic robes without any indications of their grade. The features on the magic robes had disappeared, and even the curing magic on Saleen’s robe had disappeared as well.
Lex and Saleen were not lacking any equipment. Now that they had resolved the problems with their magic robes, they only needed to store spells into their magic books and fill in their scrolls. When all that was done, their offensive abilities would essentially have peaked again.
The person lacking equipment was Daniel. This grade-3 death mage had lost his winged skeleton at the moment and did not know when he would be able to get it back again.
A death mage was different from an elemental mage. Without a summoned creature, their offensive abilities would decrease drastically.
Everybody’s equipment had been placed into Lex’s alchemy array for refinement. Daniel helplessly said, ”I will try to summon a new contracted creature.”
Daniel was depressed. If he lost the winged skeleton’s replacement, then the chances of him getting the winged skeleton back would be slim to none.
”Don’t you know how to produce bone puppets?” Saleen thought to himself, The offensive abilities of bone puppets are not considered low. At the very least, they’re effective in dealing with swordsmen. The skills a death mage possessed had deterring effects. People who were of a lower grade than the death mage would have their emotions easily influenced.
”I… am a grade-3 mage, so I cannot use spatial equipment yet. It is impossible for me to bring along a gigantic being wherever I go.”
Saleen already possessed the Ring of Gifts and the demonic ring, so he had long forgotten the fact that a mage needed to be at least grade-5 in order to utilize spatial equipment. Upon hearing Daniel say that, Saleen blushed.
Lex said, ”Do you remember among low-level death magic, there’s a spell called… nine, nine, what was it called again?”
”Nine Kings. But I currently don’t have that many bones in my possession...”
That time, Daniel had exhausted a large amount of his precious resources in order to produce the camouflaged skull cavalry. He was embarrassed to get more materials from Lex.
