Chapter 1040 New Battle Sword
After finalizing the follow-up production project of the Life Staff, Zhou Xu took the Life Staff that Locke brought and came to the training ground in the palace, intending to use the training ground to try out the Life Staff to see if it could bring him some benefits.
In fact, after listening to Locke's story, Zhou Xu no longer had much hope in his heart.
This Life Staff was obviously specialized in life energy and related spells, and it was very suitable for the Wood Elf mages, but what were the mantra spells on it? Lightning, fire, and skulls, none of which had anything to do with life energy. The skull series of mantras could even be said to run counter to it.
After trying it, it turned out to be true!
This kind of mantra, when performed with the help of the Staff of Life, is not only useless, but it also seems to cause a bit more waste due to the incompatibility of the energy properties.
This made Zhou Xu lose interest all of a sudden.
After that, Locke had nothing to do here. Before going back, he went to the Royal Guards to visit John and the others.
With the end of the war in the south, the Wood Elf Mage Corps and the Trap Camp have now withdrawn.
The Wood Elf Mage Corps went straight back to the palace, while the Xianzhen Camp was temporarily stationed in the military camp in Grassland City due to the relatively special circumstances and the lack of a suitable place to train them in Black Moon City.
Then time passed quietly...
The relatively peaceful winter passed quickly, and with the arrival of spring and the start of spring farming, the entire Zhou Dynasty soon became busy again.
During this period, Zhou Xu's daily life was busy and fulfilling. In addition to handling government affairs, he was studying the truth.
“It’s done, it’s done!!”
Inside the bedroom, Zhou Xu, who was sitting cross-legged on the bed, looked at the ball of light in his palm and couldn't help laughing, his face full of excitement! At this moment, the ball of light lying in his palm was not an ordinary truth.
It was the first "program" he had created himself! This was not quite accurate. Strictly speaking, it could not be considered as something he had created. He had simply studied the original "program" thoroughly and added a few new things to it.
Under this premise, the "program" that he had thoroughly studied was called "Basic Weapon Blessing"! And the new thing he added was called "Flame Attack"! As early as when he discovered the Fire Crystal, Zhou Xu was thinking that if he could add "Flame Attack" to the enchanted weapons made with Fire Crystal in the form of enchantment, the effect would definitely be very good! Under this premise, he just happened to have a similar enchantment mantra in his hand, which was "Basic Weapon Blessing".
Although this enchantment mantra contains the word "basic", its complexity is not comparable to those ordinary mantra characters or mantra phrases.
In fact, Zhou Xu had been studying this for a long time.
After he summarized the "programming theory" himself, Zhou Xu knew that if he wanted to play these mantras better, in addition to analyzing each mantra more thoroughly, he also had to learn "programming" himself.
And this 'basic weapon blessing' is his first step in learning programming.
After thoroughly studying the 'Basic Weapon Blessing', he directly applied this ready-made template and then added 'Fire Attack' to it.
Although this set of operations sounds simple and seems to be done by just applying it casually, it actually took him a lot of energy.
Moreover, I cannot be sure now that my improved version of the enchantment mantra has been successful. Whether it will be successful or not, I still have to carry out the enchantment and see the actual effect before I can determine it.
For this reason, the enchanted spells engraved on the weapons would undoubtedly have to be changed.
At this moment, Zhou Xu was writing down the enchanting spells one by one, and then ordered people to send them to the forging department to make new molds.
As an important project personally undertaken by their Majesty, it naturally received certain preferential treatment in the Forging Department, and the efficiency was maximized.
It took less than a month from making the mold to completing the casting, and Li Gan had already presented the new version of the Red Flame Sword to Zhou Xu.
Now, only Zhou Xu possesses this enchanting mantra, and naturally, the final enchanting operation can only be performed by him personally.
[Blessing of the flame weapon! 】
Zhou Xu's mantra seemed to have given the red flame sword a soul.
At that moment, the enchanted spell on the Scarlet Flame Saber suddenly lit up, and the flame patterns that were originally only visible at a specific angle and with the right light now appeared directly.
The pattern, which looked like a red flame, made the entire blade appear slightly red.
Over the years, Li Gan has forged countless enchanted weapons, but this is the first time he has seen such a change.
For a moment, his eyes were filled with unconcealable curiosity.
Zhou Xu simply reached out and gently stroked the blade.
This was definitely not his illusion. The originally cold metal blade actually became warm at this moment.
The huge change made Zhou Xu's heart beat faster.
Then his eyes fell on the row of wooden stakes wrapped in armor in front of him.
This time, he did not let the Royal Guards to conduct the test. He wanted to try the power of the enchantment himself!
Taking a deep breath, Zhou Xu simply adjusted his breathing, swung his sword and chopped at the first wooden stake.
At that moment, there was only a muffled sound of "boom", and the raging flames actually overflowed directly from the blade, wrapping the entire blade, allowing Zhou Xu to swing a real flaming slash! With one slash, the armor was cut on the spot, and the flames wrapped around the blade instantly engulfed the entire wooden stake, dyeing it a layer of charcoal color. The scorch marks were particularly obvious at the location of the cut.
Faced with such power, Silk and Li Gan who were standing nearby all exclaimed in surprise.
During this process, hearing the exclamations, Zhou Xu was also shocked by the power of the knife, and subconsciously glanced at the red flame sword in his hand.
Then he discovered that the flame pattern that had originally appeared on the red flame sword had disappeared again.
As the flame pattern disappeared, the blade, which was originally reddish and had a crystalline texture due to the flame pattern, also quickly lost its luster and turned into an ordinary sword that did not differ much from an ordinary sword at first glance.
However, at this moment, the entire blade was still quietly emitting an astonishingly high temperature, like a piece of red-hot iron! (End of this chapter)
