Chapter 78 Arthur, you have changed
After floating on the calm sea for another two months, Ethan used this time to reorganize his equipment.
The situation of the Death Magic Stone is stable. Although the boxes he made are not good, they are very safe and of excellent quality. Ethan only needs to improve his forging level next.
After a period of trial, the situation was also stable and there was no change. The energy injected into it seemed to be integrated with the belt. Now even Ethan cannot re-extract the integrated energy.
The remaining space energy was stored by Ethan in a specially made container. He was not ready to continue to make space equipment for the time being because he did not have much good materials in his hand. When the space energy was used a little less, he tended to use a small amount of energy to study. If he could use this to peek out the secrets of space energy, the benefits for himself would be much greater than making a few pieces of equipment.
In addition, the pair of wrist guards Isandra gave him was replenished with magic and restored all of his combat power. Only the short arrows had less reserves.
"This thing is not easy to replenish."
Because it was made with customized short arrows, Ethan either made it himself or could only entrust the guild to help forge it. However, he felt that after he consumed all the inventory in his hand, the pair of wrist guards might become a collectible. He gradually felt that this pair of wrist guards could not meet his needs.
After possessing thermal weapons, medium and long-distance attack firepower has a better choice, which has greater value on the wrist guards. The auxiliary magic attached to them is even limited in the fireball. Ethan can completely use his belt to carry more incendiary bombs and grenades instead.
Even the ice shield on the left wrist guard is replaced by a stronger magic shield. The most valuable one now is the ice arrow used to assist.
"What you want to solve now should be the main weapon?"
"yes."
The sword and the iron stick were destroyed in one battle. Ethan never expected this to happen. He had thought that it was a bit too many weapons to carry, but now he didn't give him any of them, which really made him depressed.
"I should consider a better weapon, and I can only practice swordsmanship with wooden sticks before that."
Since he started learning sword skills, he used real long swords to practice. His foundation was poor, so it took longer to adapt to the weight and feel of the real long sword. Now that he just felt a little, he could only use wooden sticks to replace it. I don’t know if it would affect the progress of his sword skills.
"Don't worry, you have used a real long sword, and even if you practice with a wooden stick, it will not affect your future strength. At most, it will take a little longer to adapt to the new weapon."
"That's good."
Ethan still felt unstable after losing his main weapon, and was idle in the calm sea, so he began to tinker with the magic guns that he had been conceiving for a long time.
Unfortunately, my skills were so poor. After spending more than half a month, I could only barely make something that looked like a front-mounted musket. It looked very ugly, and the only advantage was that it was easy to use.
It is no different from a real musket, it just doesn't need to be recharged. He just needs to aim at the target and pull the trigger. The engraved magic circle inside will release the magic stored in the musket from the muzzle and attack the target with a magic set already.
Originally, according to Ethan's idea, this kind of gun should be able to freely choose magic attributes and cast various magic attacks, including fireballs and ice, which are optional attributes. However, this one in his hand can only be regarded as a test piece, and Ethan only engraved a magic array in it.
Instead of choosing the flame magic array he is most familiar with, he chose frost-type magic, and mainly used the idea of freezing the enemy to cause low temperature damage and interference.
In addition to being an auxiliary weapon from the beginning, he cannot create too powerful attack props now. If the magic output is too strong, the materials in his hand will not be qualified.
Based on many factors, this magic musket is just a pure auxiliary weapon, and killing the enemy is not its main task - of course, even if an ice bomb hits an ordinary person, it may still take the other party's life.
As before, as the only crew member outside Ethan on this ship, Arthur once again became Ethan's goal to show off his new work.
The evaluation is also as always. First comment on the appearance: "Compared with your previous works, this musket is at least quite out of shape..."
Yes, at least Arthur could tell at a glance that this was a musket.
In his life of voyage, Arthur began to read books to pass the time. Originally, he did not like endless reading, but only read and learn when needed.
The environment has a huge impact on people. King Arthur, who gradually realized the joy of reading, seemed to have less escape and more calmness, and became mature in advance.
Of course, his knowledge reserves have become more and more abundant. Now he knows all kinds of muskets and other things. Perhaps after returning to his own world, he will try to create these things - if he really succeeds, the fun will be great. Ethan is happy about this, and even adds some fuel to it.
"I don't think this is an ordinary musket?"
It is definitely not an ordinary musket. They don’t have guns in their hands, so why do they work hard to build such an outdated weapon? The two of them face to face and shoot at each other and then watch the crowd. It is not necessarily a thing that can be killed by anyone. They don’t want to give them away for free.
"Of course it's not ordinary."
Ethan introduced the functions of this weapon, and even Arthur considered whether to let Ethan build it for him.
"If you want, I will help you customize one, and you can even decide the appearance." Ethan paused and added a sentence: "It is not limited to the appearance of the musket, but I need to wait for my craft to go further."
Muskets, including appearance, are the simplest in production. If a more complex revolver is, it requires more detailed craftsmanship. It is not impossible for Ethan to build it now, but it takes a lot of time to meticulously craft. He was still experimenting with the combination of magic arrays and guns before, so of course he would not waste time on such things.
Now there are both theory and practice, and there is also a finished product. As long as he continues to improve and constantly improve his ideas, he can use the combination of modern guns and his own magic knowledge to create truly powerful weapons.
"In addition to these, we need to find a more suitable metal material."
If you want stronger firepower, in addition to being strong and durable, you also need excellent magic conductivity. Generally speaking, magic has poor conductivity on metals. Only a few metals have excellent conductivity, but these metals are not matched by sturdy and durability.
The most popular way is to mix this type of metal micron into ordinary metals to create magic alloys. Although this kind of thing also has this disadvantage, it is barely the best choice.
Unfortunately, for Ethan now, this thing only exists in legends. He does not have such a scarce metal at hand, and there is not even a little metal with magic conductivity.
"I understand. When you find the right material, I will discuss the choice of style with you."
Ethan nodded and put away the magic musket. This thing is now the only weapon in his hand and cannot be given to Arthur for the time being.
In addition, there were only some ordinary guns and tactical daggers on the ship. Because Ethan and Arthur's long swords were not ordinary weapons, there were no backup long swords at all, which seemed rather embarrassing now.
"It's okay, I have many methods anyway, so it's nothing if I don't use a long sword."
In the calm sea, even if he doesn't use the sword, he has enough means to deal with the enemy. The only thing he needs to worry about is to enter other worlds, and he may need the sword, the main weapon that he has used to use.
"And we have been drifting for several months. Who knows if we will encounter space-time energy? Maybe we need to go back to Stat Island to replenish supplies, and just buy some weapons at that time."
Ethan forgot that the flag cannot be inserted randomly, and it is easy to get into trouble.
Habitually using the space-time pointer, Ethan was embarrassed to find that the arrow he had originally expected most appeared in the light ball, and only one arrow means that it is not far from him.
"I've used pointers before? Wasn't it displayed search at that time?"
Arthur nodded affirmatively. Ethan often summoned the pointer to take a look. He had summoned it habitually before, but no arrows appeared at that time.
As a result, before he could finish his words, he saw an arrow appear when summoned again, which still means an arrow that is very close, so it is impossible that he had just entered the search range, which made Arthur involuntarily look at Ethan.
"Could this be the most powerful and mysterious prophecy of the magicians?"
Ethan looked at Arthur speechlessly: "Arthur, you have changed." Arthur would never joke like this before. Now he really felt that Arthur had changed a lot.
"No kidding, what are you going to do next? Go and collect space-time energy directly?"
"Of course, no matter how time and space energy cannot be missed, even if it is not used to shuttle planes, more time and space energy is needed to practice and improve this magic trick. Only by mastering this magic earlier can I feel completely at ease."
Arthur didn't understand Ethan's mentality very much. He always felt that Ethan was extremely lucky to have such talent. Why did he have to study it thoroughly in the final analysis?
But even though he didn't understand, Arthur still admired Ethan's spirit very much. Perhaps this is how he was able to reach this point with his not-so-inspired talent?
"Toward the next world, move forward!"
After adjusting the course, Goddess of Dawn moved forward at full speed in the direction of space-time energy.
