Chapter 29 Irish Town (11) (Updated) I am interested in learning...
After noting down the address of the Wild Wolf Mercenary Corps' training ground, Ye Mo and Captain Hook parted ways, leaving the Mercenary Street and coming to the Magic Chamber of Commerce, which is also quite famous in the Irish town.
The castle of the Magic Chamber of Commerce is different from the magnificent castle of the Mercenary Association . It is built entirely of dark red stone and is engraved with magic patterns of different meanings from the inside to the outside. It looks exquisite and mysterious.
The nature of the Chamber of Commerce is also different from that of the Magician Association. Not only magicians and magic apprentices come in and out, but anyone with crystal coins, gold coins, etc. can buy any magic item here.
There are also many high-level goblin craftsman products here, which are more ornamental than practical.
Ye Mo walked around the spacious castle.
She saw many magic items or weapons that she wanted to buy but couldn't afford. What attracted her the most was the Alchemy Golem, which could talk, work and fight. It was the pinnacle of every mechanic's dream. She
really wanted to dismantle the Alchemy Golem to see how it was different from modern artificial intelligence.
Unfortunately, they were very expensive! She
could only take a look and enjoy the sight.
The Chamber of Commerce's purchase price for monster crystal cores was the same. The price of a level 1 monster crystal core was between 10 and 15 silver coins, the price of a level 2 monster crystal core doubled, and the price of a level 3 monster crystal core tripled on the basis of the level 2.
After some bargaining, Ye Mo's 11 monster cores were exchanged for 4 gold coins and 18 silver coins, and this was also the price because the mini fox cores were relatively uncommon.
By the way, there were still 20 silver coins and 98 copper coins left in his pocket, which seemed to make him a rich man again.
With the blessing of 3 level 3 monster cores and 1 level 2 monster core, this was much more than what Ye Mo had originally estimated. How to proceed with the next mission? According to the original plan - first, if the safety factor of the outer perimeter of the Monster Forest is within an acceptable range, he
will go there himself. Second, if the safety factor of the outer area of the Monster Forest is out of control, go back to the Goblins to work and earn gold coins, and then cooperate with the mercenary group, repeating many times until the mission is completed. Now the first possibility is completely ruled out. The danger factor of the outer area of the Monster Forest is N times higher than she thought. The second plan cannot keep up with the changes. The destruction of the system-produced fire axe is an unplanned variable. The current fire axe is only equivalent to an ordinary sword worth 10 silver coins. It's completely useless. Is it a big profit to have a reward of '4 gold coins, 30 silver coins, and 98 copper coins'? Misconception! Serious misconception! The fire axe's attributes are scrapped. Ye Mo wandered around the Chamber of Commerce and found many suitable swords, some even stronger than the fire axe, but he couldn't afford them. The ones he could afford didn't look down on them. The main difficulty was the size issue. There were very few weapons suitable for goblins. Master Ian's dagger was her most expensive weapon, but the dagger couldn't replace the long sword. This wave of comparisons was still a loss. But there is always a way out. Compared to going back to continue working as a coolie, "4 gold coins, 30 silver coins, and 98 copper coins" opened up a new path. There were still 92 days and 12 hours left to survive. As a new Goblin Craftsman, Ye Mo could try to "do it yourself and have enough food and clothing." This was the advantage of her identity. If Ye Mo, who has mental manipulation skills + mechanical engineer certificate + senior craftsman teaching and notes + goblin talent, can't even make a sword, he will really doubt whether his IQ is normal. Another important point is that craftsmen have a certain chance to break through the mental attribute value and strength attribute value when working. After a trip to the Monster Forest, Ye Mo deeply understood that his combat power was too weak. The risk factor of killing monsters alone was very high. Killing monsters with other mercenary groups was uncertain and unknown. In short, finding ways to improve one's own strength is the key to survival. Not only in these one or two copies, but also in the future N copies. ... I have the coins and the plan, so I go to the bookstore. The magic bookstore is on the third floor of the Chamber of Commerce Castle, and the magic of extending space is used inside. As soon as the door is opened, under the bright magic lights, the reddish-brown cherry wood bookshelves look endless, and the books are neatly placed on the bookshelves. It is a bit similar to a school library. The books are all made of light yellow animal parchment, and black magic potions are mainly used on them. The books in the bookstore are divided into several large sections, about the history of the Celtic continent, elemental spells such as wind, electricity, fire, ice, and water, magic plants, low-, medium-, and high-level monsters, magic potions, etc. Very complete. Perhaps because of the threat of monsters, there seems to be a spirit of education and inheritance in this world. People are not afraid of "teaching the apprentice and destroying the master", but only hope that there will be more and more strong people. It's just that some knowledge can't be learned by reading books by yourself, and some things will never be learned in a lifetime without talent. Ye Mo roughly flipped through the history of the Celtic Continent before arriving at the magic circle area, where there are books such as "The Production Process of Alchemy Dolls", "Advanced Defense Array", and "Detailed Explanation of Advanced Magic Array". She wants all of them. Unfortunately, her time in this world is limited, and it is impossible for her to learn every kind. Ye Mo picked up a book called "Basic Magic Array", which contains more than 1,000 magic circle drawings, which can be perfectly combined with Master Ian's craftsman notes, and tried to forge a variety of weapons. But a craftsman is just a craftsman. To be honest, in Ye Mo's opinion, Master Ian and his craftsmen have already achieved very advanced skills, and are better than alchemists in many aspects, but they still have some shortcomings, such as the lack of magic theory. They know the results but not the reasons. Because goblins are born with an inability to use magic, they do not delve into magic circles. The craftsmen lack essential innovation, and it would be even more perfect if they could combine with alchemists. Ye Mo is essentially a mechanical design engineer, not a high-level technician. So, she picked up another book, "Basic Principles of Alchemy". This book is very thick, the kind that can hit someone on the head with it. Most of the first half is profound magic-related theories, and there are some typical cases in the back. "..."
The book seller in the bookstore was a magic apprentice. He looked at the goblin in front of him with a strange look.
The book "Principles of Alchemy" is said to be compiled from the notes of a legendary alchemist a thousand years ago. At that time, there were many people chasing after it.
But the rather boring content deeply hit the confidence of the fans. Now even the alchemy apprentices would not choose it.
"1 gold coin and 50 silver coins."
The magic book refused to bargain.
But you should save what you should save and spend what you should spend.
Ye Mo gritted his teeth and paid the money. Now he had 2 gold coins + (50+18+20=88) silver coins + 98 copper coins in his pocket. He put 2 gold coins into the reserve gold for the follow-up.
He left the Magic Chamber of Commerce.
Passing by the Goblin Tinkerer's small shop, he bought hundreds of kilograms of heavy iron ore, copper ore, stone, black crystal knife, blank paper and other materials for engraving arrays, and then returned to the underground world with his bags.
He let out a long sigh.
In this dark world, he unexpectedly had the illusion of home. The goblins with green eyes, green skin and green hair are so friendly!
...
Although it is not necessary, the small dark room still lit the candles.
Ye Mo felt that this was more ceremonial, so he walked to the only small chair in the room and sat down, unfolding "Basic Principles of Alchemy", "Basic Magic Arrays", and Master Ian's notebook one by one.
First of all, to make a weapon, you have to come up with a design first, right?
Ye Mo wanted to make a wind sword and a wind bow first. The reason was simple. The cream-colored wind mini fox gave him a lot of inspiration. Good product design requires inspiration.
Before drawing, he first opened the more than 200 wind magic circles in "Basic Magic Circles". Different magic patterns have different effects, functions, and biases. The book records them in detail.
But it didn't write why?
Ye Mo pulled out his strong curiosity from another book "Basic Principles of Alchemy", took out the black crystal knife and stone, carved the circle, searched, and understood the things in the master's notes.
...
[It was detected that the survivor Ye Mo broke through the mental threshold, and the mental attribute was +1. 】
After an unknown amount of time, Ye Mo had carved the stones all over the floor, and the design drawings were piled up thickly. The magic array gave her too many inspirations, some for swords, some for bows, and even more waste paper.
By the time the design drawings were finished, to be honest, Ye Mo was a bit like modern computer software.
Now she could only simulate the weapon forming process in her mind based on her own memory and Master Ian's diary, and write down the detailed procedures, list the required materials and equipment.
Thanks again, Master Ian.
Although his notes did not directly record the basic characteristics of the materials, based on the forging process, Ye Mo could transform them from practice into clear data tables.
It's just that the process was particularly useless.
【It was detected that the survivor Ye Mo had broken through the mental critical value, and the mental attribute was +1. 】
"Fortunately, there are few weapon parts. I can't make a car or design a magic device. That would make me crazy." A
little crazy.
But when Ye Mo successfully solves a problem, figures out a doubt, or draws a picture, the happiness he feels cannot be described in words.
The evidence is that he drank the precious potion for this - the advanced magic recovery potion.
Interest is the best teacher for learning!
When attention is focused for a long time, it is easiest for mental strength to break through the threshold value.
Three points have been added, right?
It's faster than going to the Monster Forest for a life-and-death battle.
...
After everything was done, Ye Mo carried some materials and drawings, went around the winding corridors, came to the goblin work area, and looked for workshops of all sizes.
Even if the high-level craftsmen do not operate their workshops, many of them are still busy and hire junior craftsmen and apprentices to work for them, mainly because they cannot afford to rent.
Ye Mo turned his attention to the mid-level and junior goblin craftsmen and discussed with them the issue of renting equipment.
The reserve of 2 gold coins is time to start. If it fails, you will have to become a "coolie" again.
Despite this, Ye Mo still received a lot of rejection messages and sincere advice from goblin seniors. After all, this model is very new to goblins and they have never encountered it before.
Most goblins are not short of money, and 2 gold coins are not a lot.
For this reason, Ye Mo shamelessly brought out Master Ian's evaluation of himself, attached "carving evidence", and added a finished product and more than ten drawings.
After six consecutive refusals or direct rejections, a female goblin craftsman named Miranda finally agreed.
But there was a condition, Miranda had to watch and supervise her production process.
Ye Mo answered firmly: "Yes."
Maybe she was a little skeptical and uncertain at the beginning, but as she faced more and more setbacks, it aroused her long-lost competitive spirit and completely awakened her confidence in her mechanical professional skills!
