During work, the spiritual ability was successfully upgraded to level 2, which was another surprise.

After forging, pulling, cutting, quenching and other process groups, Ye Mo went on to engraving, inlaying and inlaying process groups.

Among them, engraving is the most basic and important process. 99% of weapons or tools are made without engraving, and inlaying and inlaying are also two important auxiliary processes.

The engraving work of junior craftsmen is not like when Ye Mo applied for the job, they rely on spiritual abilities to operate directly on the stone. They have many auxiliary tools, including black crystal sand, grinders, rotary engraving machines, drills, etc.

And the engraving methods are different.

For example, a goblin craftsman fixed the semi-finished steel product in the middle of the rotary engraving machine, and a round steel pot was hung above it. There was a hole in the bottom of the pot. The pot was filled with black crystal sand and a certain proportion of water.

As the rotary engraving machine rotates, water drops mixed with black crystal sand drip down drop by drop onto the semi-finished product, rubbing and softening the steel material, thus quickly completing the rough engraving with a sharp knife.

Wait.

Ye Mo was amazed at what he saw.

Some of the techniques are similar to the ancient weapon manufacturing techniques found by archaeologists on Earth. From this, we can infer how the ancients successfully made the magical cold weapons excavated from the tombs.

Ye Mo was fortunate to see Master Ian working in person. Unlike other goblin craftsmen, as a senior craftsman, his tools are the simplest, just a series of black crystal knives.

The raw materials of different materials are like an obedient child in his hands. One by one, lifelike patterns are carved out. It looks simple and fast, but you will know how difficult it is when you actually operate it.

Ye Mo hurriedly asked for advice humbly.

Master Ian gave some pointers and talked about a lot of knowledge points about engraving, including the meaning of different graphics, the pits hidden in the patterns, the techniques for using the black crystal knife, etc. These knowledge points are in that notebook.

But no matter what skills you have, the most important point is proficiency.

The biggest difference between ordinary craftsmen and senior craftsmen is that they rely too much on external forces and are not precise enough.

Each senior craftsman may have engraved more than 100 million times just to learn how to engrave circles, in order to make the circles round, smooth, and look like they have souls.

The road to becoming a king is never easy.

Under the guidance of Master Ian, Ye Mo's engraving skills have improved qualitatively. At least she will no longer almost exhaust her mental power when engraving a small stone seal.

At least eight must be engraved.

[It is detected that the survivor Ye Mo has broken through the critical point of mental value, and the mental attribute is +1. 】

And the craft of carving is really very suitable for training elementary manipulation skills, and it is also easier to break through the mental critical value.

Master Ian praised:

"Maria, you are really a genius in this field!"

Ye Mo corrected himself in his heart:

...No, no, no, compared to the Goblin craftsmen, I have more spiritual powers.

Moreover, she has studied mechanics for twenty years!

...

Except for the basic process of carving, inlay and embedding sound simple.

But if we just pick out inlay, there are dozens of types, including clip inlay, card inlay, package inlay, wall inlay, track inlay, nail inlay, etc.

Different methods need to be selected for inlaying different materials, and each method has different rules and techniques. This is something that can only be summarized by operating it personally.

Ye Mo does not have enough time.

After experimenting with the two stages of nailing and embedding, we jumped directly to the most critical, magical and incredible process among all the processes - magic array processing.

Magic array processing is not necessarily the last step of all the processes. For example, if a sword is inlaid with special gems, both the sword and the gems need magic array processing, and the last step is the auxiliary inlay process.

In the magic processing area, there are the largest number of magic beast crystal cores - more than a hundred primary magic beast crystal cores and two intermediate magic beast crystal cores. They appear in a fixed position in an orderly manner, forming a basic magic array.

Goblin craftsmen do not have the magic power of magicians, and they must rely on magic beast crystal cores to make magic weapons.

Goblin Tinkers can make anything, including space rings and magic wands, but the former requires high-level magic beast crystal cores, while the latter requires all-series magic beast crystal cores.

If the alchemist does not have magic power, how can he compare with the master goblin tinkerer!

Everyone thinks that the goblin tinkerer is one level weaker than the alchemist. In fact, looking at the craftsmanship of the ring on the master's hand, you can see that the dwarf craftsman suffers from the lack of magic talent.

Master Ian seems to have a bad impression of alchemists, and complains about many of their bad aspects.

Ye Mo also got a first-level fire magic beast crystal in his hand. It was only the size of a fingernail, a little hot to the touch, and a very beautiful fiery red color, no worse than the beautiful ruby ​​on earth.

Oh, by the way, a magic beast crystal that has exhausted its magic power will not be crushed, but will just turn into an ordinary stone. It can also be sold as a gem jewelry. Ordinary goblins have this skill.

Ye Mo used her mental power to detect the fire magic beast crystal in her hand. A burning sensation hit her face. She retracted her mental power by conditioned reflex. Seeing that there was no danger, she carefully probed again

. The fire magic beast crystal is more difficult to wrap than ordinary objects. Although it is so small, it consumes a lot of mental power. She just felt the energy in the crystal and immediately retracted it.

Now is not a good time to explore.

Ye Mo returned this fire magic beast crystal to Master Ian and watched his next work quietly.

In the magic processing area, in addition to magic crystals, there are six different solvents, which are packed in stone buckets.

Three of the solvents are different concentrations of a common plant solvent called clover, which is slightly acidic. The remaining three are different concentrations of a mineral solvent called purple marrow, which is slightly alkaline.

These two plants and minerals are basically present in the entire Celtic continent. They are very common, but they are the only two solvents that can depict magic arrays. They are indispensable in the work of craftsmen and alchemists.

Ye Mo speculated from an outsider's perspective that these two things may be related to the magic elements existing in the continent, and have the special ability to dissolve the "magic factor".

It is precisely because magic is everywhere on the continent that they are everywhere.

Master Ian soaks the semi-finished product in different concentrations of solvents according to the characteristics of the final weapon or equipment, and then places it in the center of the basic magic array.

The semi-finished product is suspended in the air, and the different patterns on it absorb the colorful magic around it bit by bit.

Some absorb quickly, some absorb slowly, some absorb purely, and some absorb chaotically.

Basically, it can be summarized as follows: the purer the magic power absorbed, the faster the magic power absorbed, and the more magic power absorbed, the more powerful the final product will be.

"It's amazing!"

Ye Mo saw clearly that the carved patterns were the legendary magic arrays.

Compared with the previous series of tedious processes, magic processing is the most critical, the simplest and the least demanding of high skills. The difficulty lies in the previous 20 or so processes.

"Maria, when you can make a sharp treasure head or a pair of wind-accelerated leather boots alone, it means that you are already a junior craftsman." Master Ian said, "But you are more than that. The swords you carve are much stronger than ordinary junior craftsmen."

"Nothing can make me happier than this."

Watching the precious swords that I participated in making come out of the oven on the array plate, it seems that the products I designed are gradually entering the market.

At this time, Ye Mo felt very accomplished.

...

In the remaining 30 hours, Ye Mo maintained 100% enthusiasm to complete his work.

Like a brick, he moved wherever he was needed until all the junior, middle and advanced weapons in Ian's workshop were completed.

"La! La la la, la la la la..."

In the workshop, a group of goblins sang songs, and some even put down their tools and danced happily to celebrate the success of the work and the joy of the harvest.

The style suddenly jumped to a musical movie.

Ye Mo was very reserved.

At least she was forced by the goblin aunt to hold her hand and spin around, and twisted her butt twice while singing loudly.

Well, more than twice.

Anyway, no one knows.

In short, after two or three days of working together, the goblins' afro, wrinkled face, copper bell eyes, sharp teeth, and short legs all became cute in Ye Mo's eyes.

After the celebration, a group of goblins lined up to receive their wages, and their wages were 1 gold coin.

Master Ian gave Ye Mo a very high reward, 3 gold coins, which would be 300 silver coins, which could buy 300×100 chestnuts.

In order to reward her superb engraving on the sword and two "flash of inspiration" inlay equipment ideas.

Ye Mo kept 2 gold coins, and exchanged 1 gold coin with other goblins for 99 silver coins and 100 copper coins.

She was also a person with money.

All coins are round, the same size as coins. Copper coins are made of copper and have plants engraved on them. Silver coins are beautiful silver-white and have different mid-level Warcraft images engraved on them.

Gold coins have high-level Warcraft images engraved on them. And crystal coins have legendary dragons engraved on them.

Master Ian invited Ye Mo to work for him on a long-term basis, but due to the main quest of killing Warcraft, Ye Mo had to refuse.

The other goblins were very puzzled. If it were them, they would definitely be very happy and excited to accept it.

Ye Mo even rejected Master Ian's suggestion of a temporary job. The main problem was her time, which she couldn't even guarantee.

"What a stubborn little guy."

Master Ian was not angry because he could not force him to do what he wanted. Instead, he packed a dagger he had forged himself and the remaining three bottles of high-level magic awakening potions in the workshop and gave it to Ye Mo.

"If you regret it, you are always welcome to come to Ian's workshop to work."

"If there is a chance next time--"

Ye Mo's mind flew, and he suddenly thought of the next time when the brother Tang Seng faced the Queen of the Kingdom of Women in the 1983 version of the TV series Journey to the West.

It's just that in Journey to the West, it was love, and in the dungeon world, it was a pure master-disciple friendship.

"..."

The example is not very appropriate.
