Volume 1 Feathering Chapter 59: Magical Weapons and Enchanting Expertise
Thinking of this, Levi suddenly realized that if his speculation was true, then the existence of the ogre camp must have a certain mission, and the black dragon who sent out the ogre camp definitely did not want to see the camp destroyed.
Especially after experiencing this raid by the gnolls, it will definitely further strengthen the strength of the ogre camp and transport more resources over there.
Although this means that the strength of the Gnoll Camp will be increased and the challenge will become more difficult, but at the same time, if I can sneak in again, the gains will definitely be further improved!
Levi took a deep breath. If his guess was wrong, then there was nothing more to say. If his guess was correct, then after dealing with the commotion of the gnolls in the Stoney Highlands, perhaps the next major mission would be related to a real black dragon.
Before that, what I can do is to strengthen my own and my team's combat effectiveness as soon as possible.
Then he looked at the magic scroll that the merchant Tros had given him before he left, and reminded him to use it with caution.
Lesser Servant Skeleton (Scroll - Consumable): After activation, it can trigger the first-level magic of the same name, transforming the corpse of a creature of no more than medium size and with a complete structure into a skeleton that obeys you, lasting for 3 minutes.
The other one is the Lesser Servant Zombie (Scroll - Consumable), which has a similar effect to the Lesser Servant Skeleton, except that it turns a skeleton into a zombie.
He frowned slightly immediately. No wonder the other party specifically reminded him to be careful. He didn't expect that this was actually undead magic.
Although some priests of gods can use undead magic or divine arts, most of them want to let those unwilling souls rest in peace. But the two scrolls in front of them are obviously magic used by some evil necromancers to form cannon fodder troops.
In this game, undead creatures are basically hunted down and killed by all the good, just and even neutral camps, because their existence itself is a blasphemy to life.
Even evil factions like the greenskin orcs or demons mostly look down on them, because both the greenskins and demons prefer head-on confrontation, but the battle strategy of the undead is usually to use a wave of spell weakening first, and then use a sea of cannon fodder.
But no matter what, this is also some kind of summoning magic. Levi still kept it, maybe it will be useful in the future.
But suddenly, he remembered something.
When he first met the other party, because he wanted to get Donna out of prison, he sold her a ring that he had obtained that increased the resistance to light attributes, and once hinted to her that if he could find a suitable target, he might be able to sell it for a high price.
Now, the other party has these magic scrolls in his hands, which are obviously made by the necromancer...
It would be fine if this was just a coincidence, but if the facts were really as he guessed, then this businessman Tros was not as simple as he appeared!
After a brief sigh , he directly used the magic crystal stone that contained the words "Magic Weapon".
As he moved, the magic crystal shattered immediately and quickly turned into ashes. Then a stream of light drilled directly into his brain. The system's voice immediately sounded, prompting him that he had mastered a new magic.
Just as he was about to check the specific effects, another system prompt sounded, saying that he had successfully mastered the special skill - Enchantment - Weapon (Basic).
Enchanted Weapon: Level 1 magic, consumes 10 magic points, enchant any melee weapon to transform it into a magic weapon, with attack power +3, and can attack incorporeal creatures such as ghosts. The duration is based on its own level, intelligence value and related expertise effects, currently 7 minutes.
(Note: If this magic is cast on arrows, it can be effective on up to 10 arrows at a time, but the duration will be greatly reduced.)
This is the nth time that Levi has seen words like ghosts and other incorporeal creatures. It seems that the undead are not as weak as they are said on the forum. If they can recruit ghosts in the early stage, it should be easy to deal with wild monsters in the wild that have no magic to use.
However, the description of the magic weapon is still a bit vague. Attacking ghosts does not necessarily mean that it can cause full damage. The specific effect can only be known after actual combat.
Next is a new special expertise - Enchantment - Weapons (Elementary 0%): Through careful study of magic, you have mastered the special skill of permanently enchanting weapons. After consuming 10 magic points and spending a certain amount of enchanting materials and money, you have a chance to enhance ordinary weapons (white - ordinary) into magic weapons (green - excellent).
Levi’s eyes widened instantly: Oh my god, maybe this expertise is the biggest gain of tonight!
There are so many white weapons, but how many God-chosen heroes are using green ones now?
Not to mention the indigenous people whose numbers are countless times larger. If the price is right, they certainly wouldn't mind making their weapons stronger!
This skill is now at the elementary level, and it can upgrade the blank board to green. What about the intermediate, advanced, and even higher levels?
And what I learned was Enchantment - Weapons, so are there other similar skills like Enchantment - Armor?
If I can specialize in this, do I still need to worry about not having enough money in the future?
Thinking of this, Levi couldn't sit still anymore. Although the materials marked by the system did not look like particularly cheap stuff, he had to try it himself!
Levi quickly put his mind to action, went to the alchemy shop to buy some materials, found a vacant room on the second floor of the tavern, and began to enchant the weapon.
More than half an hour later, he rubbed his face a little tiredly, and three green-quality weapons that were flashing with faint light were placed in front of him.
He successfully enchanted three weapons, but his mood was not particularly good.
First of all, there is the issue of success rate. He tried 6 times and succeeded 3 times, which roughly means only a 50% success rate. Once failed, the equipment will not be damaged, but the consumed magic points and materials will not be returned at all, which greatly increases the cost.
Then there is the issue of the cost of enchanting materials. Enchanting requires the power of magical gem dust, and the price twice is slightly higher than buying an ordinary white weapon.
Finally, the effect of enchantment is not ideal.
Take the long sword in front of Levi for example.
+1 Longsword (green - excellent): Attack (1-4) +1;
(A long sword enhanced by magic, enchanted by Levi Goethe)
The attack power of an ordinary white sword is 1-4. He spent so much effort, using both magic and materials, but only increased the attack power by 1 point. However, the overall cost was greatly increased.
Moreover, they are both green weapons. Looking at Donna's military composite longbow and then at this crudely made longsword, Levi himself feels ashamed.
Even this kind of permanently enchanted weapon does not have the characteristic of enchanted weapons that can attack incorporeal creatures. How dare you count this as a green quality weapon?
The only consolation is that these six times of enchanting successfully increased his proficiency in this skill by 4.3%, with each success increasing by 1% and each failure increasing by 0.3%-0.5%. At this rate, he will need to enchant more than a hundred times before this expertise can be successfully upgraded.
At the same time, after each enchantment, he can also gain character experience points. Although it is only 1 or 2 points, it also confirms his previous guess. Just like Sam can gain experience points by dismantling traps and opening treasure chests, mages also have their own channels.
And there might be even more. What he has learned now is enchantment-weapon, so there must be enchantment-armor and the like.
When he was choosing specialties for upgrading before, there was a specialty for making potions. I guess it was a similar situation. Even the several magic scrolls in his pocket should have been made by magicians!
But that is a matter for the future. Right now Levi only hopes to improve the level of this expertise as soon as possible. According to the system's prompts, he has temporarily enchanted the same weapon multiple times. But if this expertise is upgraded to the intermediate level, will it be possible?
+1 is useless, but +2, +3 and even higher levels, even if it is just to purely increase attack power, I believe that many God-chosen heroes and even natives will consider it, right?
Just then, there was a noisy sound coming from downstairs. When Levi heard the slightly familiar Three Character Classic, he knew that it must be the other God-chosen heroes returning one after another.
In order to obtain the generous rewards promised by the high elves, most of them went out to the Stoney Highlands today, and no one knew what the outcome would be.
After taking another glance at the three green pieces of equipment on the table, Levi's eyes rolled, and a plan came to his mind, so he took them all downstairs.
The +1 magic weapon may not seem worthwhile to the natives of the Novice Village. After all, most of them are short of money and are accustomed to saving money. But for the God-chosen heroes, it should not be particularly rejected.
At worst, you can earn less and just charge the processing cost. Anyway, as long as your proficiency improves, you will definitely not lose money!
