Age of Empires From Scratch

Jaina wanted to judge the level of magic in this world through this seemingly insignificant little thing.

If there are requirements for materials, it is not much different from what she knows; if there are no restrictions on materials, it may mean that this world may be more 'excellent' in terms of magic than Azeroth.

Of course, the final conclusion cannot be set so arbitrarily, but it can be used as a basis for judgment.

Newton glanced at Jaina, and finally took over the strange shoes held in the other's hand, and after a simple observation, he got the answer: "This kind of shoes are not made of ordinary materials, and the magic effect attached to them is It's very weak, not even as good as the magic attached to the cleaning orb."

After hearing what the old alchemist said, Jaina brought back the silver high heels, and she was slightly relieved. It seems that the level of magic in this world is not strong enough to enchant anything.

After hearing Newton's words, David next to him also got the answer he wanted: "So, the magic attached to this is not worth mentioning?"

"Yes!"

"So... if I want to attach better magical effects to it, I must use equipment made of special materials?"

Newton glanced at David, and immediately saw through the baron's thoughts: "Do you want to make some magic props? Of course, special materials must be used for such things. Ordinary materials cannot withstand the power of magic."

After listening to the alchemist's explanation, David felt that this answer was reasonable, but he wanted to know how much extra space was there in the so-called 'expansion space' on these shoes?

"How big is it?" Pierre Newton put his eyes on the pair of shoes that had just been taken away in front of him again: "It's not that big, it's better to say that it's small, I can't even put a bigger metal ingot in it." To. This level of space expansion is not practical at all... Oh, it has a little practicality now, and that earl is a very thoughtful person."

"So if I want to make a storage prop with a size of at least one cubic meter, what kind of material should I use as a minimum standard?" After asking and asking, David finally got to the point.

As the private information consultant employed by Baron Glamorgan, the alchemist must give an accurate answer.

He thought and thought for a while, and finally gave the answer he thought was the most accurate: "Although one cubic meter is not very large, considering that the storage props are used to carry various items, so it is right Stability requirements are high, so I personally suggest that it is best to choose the hide of the gluttonous beast as the main raw material."

Knowing that David didn't understand anything, the old alchemist gave David a popular science about what a glutton is: this is a monster similar to a python, with strong territorial awareness, high aggressiveness, and a certain space attribute. The hide of the gluttonous beast is the most common magic material of space attributes.

"Where can I get the skin of this monster?"

"This kind of monster does not exist in the kingdom of Tilan, and the king of Tilan rarely sells the skins of gluttonous beasts. Occasionally, what you see are leftovers, which cannot meet your requirements." Speaking of this, Newton pointed again. Get that pair of shoes: "Using those leftover materials to make storage equipment will have a better effect than these shoes, which is definitely not what you want."

"..."

"But!" Pierre Newton's tone suddenly changed, and he suddenly raised a few pitches, attracting everyone's attention to himself: "When I was traveling in the mainland, I once found a few pieces with space Attribute ore, this kind of ore can also be used to make space equipment."

David's eyelids twitched and he suddenly realized something.

The corners of Pierre Newton's mouth also curled up. The scene where everyone around him was looking at him eagerly, expecting him to reveal the answer, made him feel very refreshed, and he didn't waste so much of what he had said before, which he deliberately sold. .

"And I am an alchemist who especially likes to study ores."

"So..." David stared at the old Newton in front of him. If his answer was different from what he thought, then the old alchemist would encounter some headaches in the next period of time. : "Have you thoroughly analyzed and mastered the structure of that ore?"

David's so-called analysis and mastery mean that alchemists know how to use alchemy to convert other types of ores into this ore.

"Of course!" Presumably because he noticed threats and warnings in the eyes of David and the people around him, Pierre Newton didn't tempt everyone this time, and simply answered David's question: "And, I also know how to properly use the metal extracted from this ore to make the storage equipment you want."

"real?"

"In fact, I use this kind of storage equipment myself, otherwise how would I travel the continent with a pile of ore..."

David was pleasantly surprised when he heard the words of the old alchemist, but then he was speechless.

After thinking about it, I just ignored Pierre Newton beside him. He never asked the old alchemist if he had any storage items?

But if I think about it carefully, even if I asked before, this alchemist would not bluntly say that he can refine ore with space attributes and help David and the others make space storage equipment.

Because the old alchemist was originally a temporary employee, he never thought that he would live in Cold Winter Town for a long time.

It wasn't until recently that he decided to live in Cold Winter Town that the alchemist would happily share the various resources he had.

"By the way, if it is a storage device made of metal, then is the storage tool made of rings and other accessories?"

"Yes."

"This is good, this is what I need." The storage ring is the most convenient storage item, second only to the kind of space that is bound with you.

"Then I want to remind you in advance that the ring is time-consuming and difficult to make, and you may have to wait for a while to get it." Pierre Newton didn't mean to refuse at all, but just reminded David that this piece of equipment It takes a little more time to get it right.

"It's okay, I don't need it for the time being..." At this point, he suddenly realized that maybe he could make a batch of short ones first, and 'popularize' the storage props first, which is also convenient for everyone to go back and forth and carry Various items: "What kind of props can be made faster?"

"Bracelets, wristbands and other relatively large things..."

"How long does it take to make one?"

"If the ore and energy are sufficient, one can be made soon." Newton specially emphasized: "But I don't have that kind of extra ore on me."

Therefore, he had to use alchemy to produce enough ore before he could officially start making that kind of storage item.

During this period, he still needs to rest and recover the lost energy, so the speed will gradually slow down.

"How many do you want me to make?"

"One hundred first!"

"..."

Although Pierre Newton didn't yell at David and drive everyone away, his expression perfectly expressed his emotions: I don't want to see you, go away!

However, before David left, Newton still made it clear: "The storage item will be picked up by myself in a few days! I will make it into a wristband. If you don't like it, you can use alchemy to modify the shape yourself! This practice is also of great benefit to your learning of alchemy."

"I see."

After waving at the old alchemist, David was the last one to leave Newton's residence, and then saw a group of women not dispersing, but walking to the wooden house where Laura lived. I don't know what else to talk about?

Looking around, he happened to see Waldo, the leader of the caravan.

When Waldo saw David, he immediately came up to say hello: "Good afternoon, Lord Baron Glamorgan."

"Good afternoon." David could see that Waldo seemed to want to ask something, so he just said what he had to say.

"Dear Lord Baron, you know that I am a businessman. This time, I transported all kinds of goods from King Tilan to Cold Winter Town for sale." Facing a real baron, even a country baron, Waldo would Not daring to keep it secret, he quickly expressed his thoughts: "At the same time, I will also buy some special products from various places and transport them to the capital for sale."

"Which specialty do you like in Cold Winter Town?" There should be a lot of weird things in Cold Winter Town, he was really curious, what would this Waldo fancy?

"My lord, those magical beasts called Squirtle and Eevee, I think they are very popular in King City." Waldo didn't expect to find anything special in such a remote town as Cold Winter Town.

It's just out of habit to look around for the right product, and if you can't find it, take a break and relax.

Unexpectedly, after turning around, he found that there are quite a lot of weird things in Cold Winter Town, especially the monster called Squirtle that can be seen everywhere in the town; and Eevee who is active near the edge of Linsen.

These two monsters are gentle in temperament and cute in appearance, and will definitely be welcomed by nobles. If he can buy a few of them, he will definitely make a lot of money - he has already inquired before, and the Lord Baron of Glamorgan has issued a clear order that he is not allowed to capture Jenny Turtle and Eevee, so he dare not capture them without authorization. .

In addition to being able to make money, you can also make friends with the nobles of the capital. These connections are even more attractive than pure money.

"Dear Baron, what do you think? Don't worry, I will offer a very reasonable price for each monster." Waldo felt that a large amount of gold and silver and countless contacts were beckoning to him, as long as the Baron of Glamorgan in front of him ordered Next, he will be able to get it all.

However, his dream was soon shattered by Lord Glamorgan.

"Wintertown won't sell Squirrels and Eevee."

David also emphasized by the way that Squirtle and Eevee are creatures protected by Winter Town, and if you try to poach and kill these Pokémon, you will bear the consequences.
