Chapter 29-29- Alloy Battle Blade

Half a month later, on a bitterly cold morning.

The breath outside turns to ice, and the frost flowers on the window glass are like intricate patterns carved by ice crystals, cutting and refracting the faint morning light, casting a fine and blurred rainbow in the room.

Standing in the warm room, Rosalyn, who was about to go out, put on a thick cloak. Turning around, she saw that the teacher had also changed into a beige windbreaker, with a gray sweater with a warm high collar underneath, which added a bit of intellectual charm to her slender figure that was inconsistent with her face.

These clothes came from the underground warehouse of an abandoned garment factory. Perhaps thanks to the original civilization's powerful preservation techniques, the unique nanofiber materials, or some special treatment, nearly half of the garments within had survived microbial decomposition, photooxidation, and thermal degradation over six hundred years, making their way into their hands. Otherwise, with their near-zero textile knowledge, they would have been stuck indoors without thicker winter clothing.

"Let's go, teacher!" Rosalyn announced excitedly after walking over and helping the teacher adjust the collar slightly.

Today, their target was the eastern district of Ish City, near the city of Gray Harbor. According to their dream, there should be a New Eden government military base on Ish Island.

After acquiring the "element decay complement technology", Yvette planned to recycle some military-grade magic equipment to see if there were any that could still be used normally, and then repair the element capacitors so that they could be used directly.

Of course, this still depended on luck. If she found a piece of excellent military equipment that was still usable after six hundred years, she would just recharge the batteries and take it home. If it didn't start, forget it; it was just a lucky draw anyway.

Half an hour later, riding a magic motorcycle, the two arrived at the gate of the abandoned military base. Perhaps because the cold weather affected their movements, they encountered almost no attacks from the mutants along the way. The world seemed to have become serene, transforming into a vast expanse of snow-white.

After entering the base and eliminating some humanoid deformities along the way, they entered several weapon warehouses with open doors. Yvette tested the remaining magical equipment inside one by one, but unfortunately, no matter how she input magic power, there was no response.

So, after checking several rooms in succession, Yvette had a feeling that she might return empty-handed today.

However, at this moment, Rosaline made a discovery in an empty hall deep inside that looked like a large training ground.

It was a semi-mechanical aberration, but unlike other semi-mechanical aberrations, this aberration had two military-grade alloy blades in its hands. After discovering Rosaline as an intruder, it immediately activated the alloy blades in both hands, allowing Rosaline to clearly see the electric light on the two blades and hear the eye-catching buzzing sound.

Afterwards, Yvette, who came after hearing the news, dismantled the semi-mechanical mutant and found that after removing the flesh and blood tissue on its body and the battle blade, there was actually a bionic mechanical hand underneath, which was equivalent to two alloy battle blades, both of which were held in its hands and could be taken off and used directly.

"So cool..." After holding the alloy battle blade and activating it, Rosaline showed an amazed expression as she looked at the trembling battle blade and the lightning bursting out from the cold light.

Yvette was also surprised. After searching for a long time and finding nothing, she thought she would return empty-handed, but unexpectedly, she found equipment from the mutant for the first time.

From this point of view, although the threat posed by semi-mechanical mutants is often greater than that of biological mutants, some of their contents can be recovered, so they can be targeted more in the future.

"Teacher, how about this knife? Is it powerful?" After turning off the combat mode, Rosaline asked curiously while stroking the blade that had returned to calm.

"It's okay." After connecting with the magic terminal and checking the parameters, Yvette nodded slightly.

The name of this knife is "Splitter Type VII", which belongs to the New Eden United States' self-developed military weapon series. It has two effects, one is "high-frequency oscillation" and the other is "high-voltage current".

Since the magic circuit cannot be read, and even if it is forcibly read, it is encrypted garbled code, Yvette cannot determine the specifications, quality and actual parameters of the two accompanying spells. But judging from the results of a casual try, if it is combined with "Muscle Release", the power is really not inferior to the Thunder Fury she casts herself. At least it should not be a problem to kill a basic type of deformer in seconds.

However, the battery degradation problem is still there. It was obviously able to be used before, and it should be that the distortion can directly power it. Now that it is taken apart separately, the element capacitor is not powerful enough.

Moreover, the energy consumption rate of "high-frequency oscillation" and "high-voltage current" is indeed a bit fast. If the battery elements are not replenished and Rosaline is used directly, it is estimated that her blue bar will be exhausted in half an hour.

…

After searching for a while and making sure there was no new finds, Yvette brought Rosaline back to the manor before noon and quickly began replenishing the elements, restoring the two military-grade magical equipment to their most perfect condition.

In the afternoon, watching Rosaline passionately studying various blade chopping movements in the cold wind of the manor, Yvette silently decided to speed up the optimization work of the two techniques "Scarlet Armor" and "Muscle Release" as soon as possible.

This was not entirely for the sake of her apprentice. In fact, even she was somewhat tempted by these two military weapons from the origin civilization.

after all……

What boy can resist the temptation of swords?

Right!

Of course, from a practical point of view, the spell bombardment composed of the four traditional spells of ice, fire, wind and thunder is definitely much more useful than the alloy battle blade in hand, and the firepower is not on the same level.

But it’s also a good thing to have more means.

…

Time flies. Before we knew it, three months had passed in a flash, and the season had changed from the snowy winter to late spring and early summer.

After a period of careful iteration, the two spells, "Scarlet Armor" and "Muscle Release", were finally optimized to a level very close to the limit, and the magic power consumption was greatly reduced.

In particular, Yvette also thoughtfully changed the covering mechanism of the "Scarlet Armor" - now even the clothes on the body can be protected, and there is no need to worry about the clothes being torn apart due to intense fighting.

Rosalin was very happy about this, because she had been practicing swordsmanship and close combat intensively recently.

It's not that she wants to change her job. In fact, melee weapons and magic practice do not conflict with each other. It's just that her magic pressure is very low now. Using the same spell and inputting the same magic power, the effect she produces is far inferior to that of her teacher.

But it was different when using the two strengthening techniques that came with the alloy battle blade. The magic pressure of "high-frequency oscillation" and "high-voltage current" came from the input of the "high-voltage capacitor" inside the battle blade, allowing her to have destructive power that was no less than that of her teacher just by waving the battle blade.

Therefore, driven by the simple desire to "share the burden for the teacher", she naturally prefers to use this weapon that allows her to exert stronger immediate combat power.

As for Yvette, after practicing melee weapons for a while, she quietly gave up this option.

Well, it takes too much time. With that much time, there are many things she can do.

After completing the comprehensive optimization of the two techniques "Scarlet Armor" and "Muscle Release" some time ago, her next goal is to optimize the "Regeneration Pump" and give it an ability to deal with emergencies caused by distorted virus infections.

However, the problem with this research direction is that she knows nothing about the mysterious virus that causes the deformation of organisms. She only knows that it can be transmitted through blood, so she must be careful to avoid being wounded by the deformed organisms.

Therefore, in order to study the filtering or purification effect of the "regeneration pump" on this mysterious virus, biological experiments on various small animals will probably be inevitable for a long time to come.

…

And so, in the emerald manor nestled in the wasteland, the master and apprentice returned to their daily lives, exploring, meditating, studying, experimenting... day after day.

In such a comfortable pace, three years passed by quickly.
