Arcane splendor begins with the throne

Chapter 175 Mithril Chain Armor
Compared with the brightness of the morning, Brian's room was now strangely flickering with a dim, eerie twilight.

He stretched out his trembling right hand, and opened the small box on the table—there were many grids padded with silk cloth, and the grids were full of small transparent glass bottles.

He carefully took out four transparent glass bottles about the size of little fingers from the innermost layer, and then shook them slightly one by one with a solemn expression, and there was a sound from inside the bottles, and green, red, and yellow lights flashed at the same time. , blue four colors of light.

Seeing this weird situation, Brian immediately sat upright on the chair, uncorked the bottle, and poured out the contents.

The moment the bright liquid was poured out, it immediately turned into four seed-sized crystals. Under the candlelight, it shone brightly and had a deep color, like gems.

These four crystals of different colors were suspended in the air under his control with his mind, and slowly fell towards a piece of mithril chain armor spread out on the table.

At this moment, this piece of equipment with mithril luster is placed in the very center of a hexagram circle.

As the soul crystals on the nodes of the magic circle spewed out rich magical energy, the shiny mithril chain armor suddenly erupted with dazzling magical aura.

The four crystals that just happened to touch the equipment instantly melted like ice and snow in the aura of the package, completely penetrating into the surface of the fine silver ring of the chain mail, like small water droplets dripping on the calm lake, creating ripples of various colors in the circle. disappeared without a trace.

In an instant, the bright and beautiful silver armor on the table reflected a blue-white luster, as if covered with a layer of azure sapphire-colored grease.

When the light gradually faded and then disappeared, Brian let out a tense expression, and a smile floated on his tired face.

He looked at the mithril chain armor in front of him, and nodded with satisfaction.

Its appearance has a delicate streamlined design and is solid at the same time. Mysterious and symmetrical magic runes are etched on the surface, and subtle magical light flashes from time to time.

Then, he couldn't wait to check the attributes of the equipment:

(Note 2: The enchanting process of this piece of equipment is based on the theme of elements. Using detection magic, one can vaguely detect a trace of wild fire, uneven waves, silent rocks, and unruly wind flowing on the surface. Each element will passively Brings some secondary effects to the wearer. For example, a rush of heat helps you resist the cold, a whirlwind splits the flames for you, the smell of metal fills your mouth and nose when the force field neutralizes the lightning for you, acid protection is turned on A sour smell fills the air.)
…………

Excellent quality, purple text, second only to golden legend.

As the maker of this equipment, even though Brian had anticipated this situation in advance, after witnessing it with his own eyes, a hint of excitement still flashed in his eyes.

Leaving aside the preciousness of this mithril chain armor in this small plane, even in the main material world he is most familiar with, it is an existence that many professionals can't reach, and they can even regard it as a medium An inheritance item from a small family.

So, with this equipment, he may not need to worry about armor issues until he reaches the legendary level.

Moreover, the most important thing is that due to his own limited strength, during the process of enchanting, he can only raise the magic aura to the middle limit.

This also means that when his strength is further improved, he can also increase the medium aura of the equipment to a strong aura that matches the quality.

At that time, the attributes of this piece of equipment will be further improved, and it is not impossible that it will even become an outstanding piece of equipment second only to legendary quality.

As for the legendary quality, he didn't dare to think about it yet.

Because this is already related to the power of the mysterious law, even if he restores the strength of the game world, he does not have the ability to make equipment of this quality.

The reason why he was able to produce such high-quality magic equipment in this small world, apart from the exquisite forging technology of dwarves and gnomes, and a few high-quality soul crystals, the real decisive factor was actually Its main material: Mithril.

This kind of strong semi-magic metal can not only be used to make equipment, but also a very high-end alchemy material. Even legendary spellcasters are willing to come to this precious metal like mithril.

In the main material world, the price of mithril can even be fired by spellcasters to the point where the price of diamonds can't even be compared. Its preciousness and rarity can be imagined.

For someone like Brian to use a large amount of mithril to make a piece of "purple" chain armor of excellent quality, in the eyes of professionals, it is completely wasteful and extravagant.

Because normal mithril equipment is generally mixed with a small amount of mithril to improve the quality of the equipment, not all of it is made of mithril like him.

But this is not the main world. In this low-magic world where magic is declining, mithril is not only used to make light armor, but its magic value has not been fully developed at all, so although its price is also very expensive, it is far away. Far from being in short supply like in the main world.

If not, he would not dare, nor would he have the financial resources to waste it like this.

In other words, he can easily upgrade the quality of his equipment to "purple" excellence, which is entirely due to the role of mithril, a metal with endless potential.

After all, he had also witnessed the legendary mithril chain armor made by elves using this metal.

He still remembers deeply that it is an armor that will not affect the wearer's spellcasting in the slightest.

What really amazed him was that each buckle of that piece of legendary equipment was engraved with a complete magic rune, and then all the runes were perfectly combined together, and the dense runes formed a complete piece like a jigsaw puzzle. The spell is comparable to a super-large protective circle.

As we all know, the production method of chain armor is mainly composed of braided iron rings interlocking to form high-density armor.

Although the production technology is not high, it is very troublesome. In this world without precision machines and assembly line production, almost every link needs to be done by oneself.

As for Brian's chain armor, which he personally designed, he had extremely strict requirements on the shape and specifications of the rings, and the size of the rings had almost reached the limit that the dwarf Ge Erbao couldn't bear.

Because of this, the number of mithril ring buckles assembled is conservatively close to [-], and its size can be imagined to be small.

Otherwise, it would not have taken such a long time for Broto and Gerber to complete the project.

He even listened to the dwarves spit on him during the delivery, and Brotho, the grumpy dwarf, had the urge to strike a few times a month during the production process.

If he was asked to engrave all the mysterious magic runes on these nearly ten thousand mithril rings, and then combine them together to form a complete super large protective circle, the degree of difficulty would be unimaginable.

Brian felt that even if he mastered the production method of this kind of legendary equipment, it would probably take an extremely long time to complete it.

However, these are not things he needs to consider now.

He put down the chain armor in his hand, got up from the chair, took off all the cloak and coat he was wearing, and after leaving only a thin shirt, he picked up the mithril chain armor and put it on his body.

Since the chain armor was lined with silk cloth to absorb the shock of battle, he didn't have to worry about chafing his skin.

After putting it on, he moved his arms and body, and the fit was as good as his own skin.

He can also clearly feel that the flexibility of his body has not been reduced, but has been improved to a certain extent, and it is as light as nothing on his body.

It is indeed worthy of the title of 'light as a feather, firm as steel'.

With this piece of mithril equipment, he is not afraid of ordinary knives and axes at all. Even a sharp sword of excellent quality like the one delivered by Broto is hard to shake, unless it is a mace, a mace, etc. The blunt weapon will cause a certain amount of damage to him.

Of course, the scope of protection of this chain armor is limited to the arms and body, what should be done on other parts.

Physical defense is not like the magic resistance attached to the chain armor feature, which can be offset in all directions.

Because when the magic attack is about to approach a certain range of his body, the magic characteristics of the equipment itself will automatically offset the damage caused by the spell to him.

Just like the 5 points of magic resistance he gained, when a spell with a damage of 10 points is about to hit his body, the invisible spell aura on the chain armor will quickly emerge and offset 5 points of damage.

Then, Brian picked up his coat and put it on again, fastened his belt, and hid this piece of equipment that shone with a faint mithril luster.

Then he looked at his attribute bar again:

Battle Mage lv3: Experience Points (5520/5500)

His experience points were only more than 200 points away from raising the level of a battle mage.

So when they arrived at this tavern yesterday and settled down temporarily, he took advantage of the darkness and ran quietly into the Twilight Forest. After killing more than a dozen gnolls, he finally accumulated enough experience to upgrade his level.

Thinking of this, Brian no longer hesitated, and directly raised his level.

"Increase the professional level of the Battle Mage!"

"Consume 5500 experience points!"

"The battle mage profession has been upgraded to level 4!"

"Get 1 free attribute!"

"Occupational feature: spell increase!"

……

With the increase in level, as usual, he once again felt a surge of life energy spreading throughout his body. He spent all night enchanting the mithril chain armor, and all the fatigue caused by it was completely dispelled. .

This is the reason why he didn't upgrade the level on the spot when he accumulated enough experience.

Although raising the level will not restore his vitality and mental strength to the fullest state, but the extra life energy he has obtained can relieve his fatigue, which is not a problem.

Promoting his professional level to level 4 did not allow him to master the ability to release third-ring spells, but he gained additional free attribute points at his disposal.

Without even thinking about it, Brian allocated this precious attribute point to his intelligence attribute.

After all, no matter what type of wizard profession he advances to in the future, their main attribute is still intelligence.

Moreover, the part-time psion he planned for his future also had intelligence as a spellcasting attribute, so he naturally specialized in his own intelligence attribute.

With an increase of 1 point of intelligence, Brian can clearly feel his spiritual power has become stronger, and the arcane energy used to release spells has increased significantly.

Even without the so-called 'blue bar', he was still able to accurately judge his own personal situation. Originally, he could only cast 6 second-level spells at most, but with the increase in attributes, it became at least 7 spells.

And a little increase in intelligence attributes, so that his attributes just reached 20 points.

This also means that the damage of his professional feature "Spell Sharpening" with additional intelligence adjustment value has also been enhanced.

Then, he looked again at another newly acquired professional characteristic:
[Amplification of spells: War mages are a group of professionals who specialize in combat art and skills. This extreme specialization and research allows them to control the wrath of arcane magic very skillfully.When casting spells, this feature can double the distance of one's own short-range, medium-range, and long-range spells. 】

Seeing this, Brian understood that the fundamental reason why Battle Mage is called Fort Mage is the two powerful auxiliary features of "Spell Sharpening" and "Spell Extending".

The former increases the damage of the spell, while the latter directly doubles the release distance of the spell. The so-called 'turret' is nothing more than a range of damage and distance far beyond ordinary people.

Just like the "spell augmentation" feature he just obtained, in the normal wizard group, this feature is actually a super magic feat. When casting a spell, it must also occupy a spell slot of one level higher than the original one.

For example, if you want to release a third-ring spell "Fireball" that doubles the distance, for a wizard, you must consume your own fourth-ring spell slots to release this third-ring spell. People like Brian who don't have spell slots need to consume Arcane Power will also increase additionally.

But for battle mages, this super magic specialty has become their own professional characteristics, and there is no need for any restrictions when using it.

Because of this, for battle mages who specialize in attack spells, their spell list is very rare, and all of them are mainly damage spells of the evocation system, which can be described as extremely extreme.

After everything was done, Brian put away all his belongings and walked downstairs of the tavern.

From the bright light outside the window, it could be seen that the dawn had already broken, and the rare sunlight was also quietly projected in, which made him, who had been busy all night, suddenly feel that his stomach was protesting.

He could just take advantage of the meal time and ask the dwarf Broto if he could contact the elf who delivered the goods.

Because as long as this batch of goods is successfully handed over to the elves, they can take a small boat, go down the Moon Stream River, and quickly reach the city of Abrera all the way.

By the way, let's find out what caused so many corpses to float down from the upper reaches of the Yuexi River yesterday.
