Chapter 683: Believe in Kiranai!
Having a hero-level protective stone, Gordon, who no longer pursues the protective stone, is a little excited at this time.
He has accumulated too many monster materials in the storage boxes at his residence in East Doruma and Bernard Village.
There are everything from the most common big wild boar skins to materials for large flying dragons such as Boom Dragon and Fire Dragon. There are also materials for ancient dragons, such as the crystals of Lingshan Dragon. Of course, the last ones are at the bottom of the box.
Except for a few that are particularly precious or have special functions, such as materials needed to make jewelry beads, most of the materials can only be locked in cabinets and collect dust.
Or send it to the guild recycling merchant and exchange it for money.
However, high-level hunters are basically not short of money.
Using it to bet on protective stones is a new option for "waste utilization". It's a pity that these materials cannot be transported at the same time. Otherwise, if you refine them one hundred and eighty times in one go, how can you get two good ones?
It’s just that the little fat man in front of me is probably going to die from exhaustion.
After teasing the little alchemist of the Dragon Tribe with the huge frog on his head for a while, Hayata and Feng Ying came back in a hurry.
They borrowed a wooden cart from some villager, which was filled with all kinds of materials.
Among them, only a small pile of armor dragon materials are Feng Ying's, and the rest are all harvested by Hayata from practicing with the brigade for more than a year.
“Are you kidding me? Why are there so many?!” The little fat man flinched.
“You have already agreed, Mr. the 14th generation head of the Makka Alchemy House, the chief alchemist master of Sinard Village.” Hayata smiled and tilted the cart, dumping the large pile of materials in front of the alchemist.
“I understand. Just give me three to four days. I’ll refine them into protective stones first.”
Spent a few days doing nothing in the village of Sinard.
Gordon and the others had thought about exploring the rarely visited hunting ground of Sky Mountain, as Feng Ying had suggested before.
However, considering the existence of the restricted area, in order to avoid suspicion, they still chose to stay in the village.
The leader of the group also said that the Isana will stay in Sinard Village for a week. If things don't turn around, it's time to consider disbanding the brigade or find a new travel destination.
A few days later, Gordon and others saw the haggard little alchemist in front of Maka's alchemy house.
The thick dark circles under his eyes made people suspect that the little fat man had not slept in the past few days. The chubby cheeks were sagging, and Hayata felt a little embarrassed.
"These are all the products. Well, they have not been refined by ancient alchemy. You can take a look first."
The little alchemist carried out a wooden tray with twelve or thirteen protective stones of different sizes and shapes on it.
"That's all?" Feng Ying stared, "There are so many materials for four- and five-star monsters, which can be used to make equipment to arm a four-man hunting group, and you can just refine these ten or so?!"
Gordon was also a little surprised. He didn't think that the little alchemist would be greedy for Mohayata's materials, but the conversion rate of using monster materials to protect the stone was far lower than he thought.
It’s no wonder that gambling on stone protection has not become mainstream. Most people still have to bring pickaxes and go to ruins such as volcanoes to hammer with pickaxes.
“That’s it!” the tired-looking fat man exclaimed angrily: “The process of using alchemy to smelt monster materials into protective stones, to put it bluntly, is to refine the energy in the monster materials and condense and solidify it.
For example, the energy required to make a city-level protective stone is at least 300 units, and the energy of a fire dragon scale is 20 units. Then at least fifteen scales or materials of corresponding energy are needed to be able to condense it. A king-level protective stone.
Taking into account the energy loss during the refining and condensation process, the amount of consumed materials will double again.”
"Okay, okay." Feng Ying, who had a headache, interrupted the little alchemist's tirade, "I misunderstood you, let's just see the result!"
"snort!"
The little fat man snorted, and first took out two protective stones, one large and one small, "These two are yours, with so-so luck, one is knight grade and the other is city fortress grade.
The blessings are [Water Attribute Resistance] and [Sleep Resistance].
Although the protection strength is not high and the versatility is not strong, at least it has no negative effects and can still be effective when dealing with certain special monsters.
If you sell it directly, you should be able to get some money. "
Feng Ying's expression is subtle.
She didn’t know whether she should be happy or not. The thing was not too bad and belonged to the most common type of protective stone, but she didn’t seem to be able to use it very much.
She subconsciously looked at Gordon, who shrugged, "It's okay to sell it, or melt it down with ancient alchemy. It's not a rare thing. You can decide for yourself."
Feng Ying gritted her teeth and said, "Take a gamble and help me refine it using ancient alchemy!"
“Quack!”
The frog on top of the little alchemist stuck out his tongue and rolled the two protective stones into his mouth.
This big frog seems to be the alchemy assistant of the little alchemist?
The little fat man looked at Hayata, "This sister is really lucky, and the materials she provided are of high quality, two warrior protection stones, two knight protection stones, three city protection stones, and one queen's protection stone." , two king protection stones.
Well, the Fighter Knight-level protective stones are nothing to look at. You can deal with them however you want. There is a pretty good one among the fortress protective stones. The protection is [heat resistant] and the level is not low. You shouldn’t need to wear this protective stone when going to the desert. Drink cold drinks. If you go to a volcano, you may not be able to bear it in a particularly hot place.
My suggestion is to keep the [heat-resistant] one among the city protection stones, and the other two have more serious negative effects and have no significance, so they can be smelted away. "
"Um."
Hayata followed the good example and put away the chestnut-sized heat-resistant stone.
"The remaining three are the key." The little alchemist picked out the three most dazzling protective stones and poured the rest into the frog's mouth.
“Even if you don’t look at the attributes, the energy level contained in the Queen’s Protective Stone and the King’s Protective Stone is not low. Even if it cannot be used, it is still a good material for ancient alchemy.
Let’s take a look at this queen-level protective stone first. The protection is [anti-wind pressure]. For example, when the flying dragon **** its wings, it can offset part of the fierce airflow stirred up. It is more practical, but unfortunately it has negative effects. When wearing this protective stone, Fire attribute resistance will be significantly reduced. "
Hayata did not pick up the protective stone, which was obvious.
Useless things, melted!
“Quack!” The big frog licked away the queen-level protective stone.
“The protective effect of this king-level protective stone is [hearing protection], which is also commonly known as earplugs. The protective level is quite high and has no negative effects.
Even the roar of a large flying dragon like Honglong can be eliminated.
Moreover, the structure of this protective stone is relatively good and can be inlaid with a decorative bead without affecting its own protective effect.
I don’t really recommend using ancient alchemy to smelt this one, it’s pretty good in itself.”
Hayata said happily: "Senior Gordon, you can use this protective stone!"
Gordon couldn't help but "tsk" twice.
His previous Cang Fire Dragon armor had the effect of earplugs, and to be honest, he really missed it.
Different from equipment armor and monster materials, protective stones, like decorative beads, are allowed to be traded or transferred as gifts.
Noticing Gordon's heartbeat, Hayata directly picked up the protective stone and put it into Gordon's hand.
Ear bolts and stone shields can also be used by sword wielders, but the protective effect is more obvious for sword wielders.
Having an ear plug stone means that while the monster is roaring, they can take the opportunity to prepare a charged attack, which is a very practical protection.
Gordon hesitated for a moment and accepted the gift.
This protective stone is naturally not as good as his own hero-level protective stone, but if you plan to hunt some kind of monster that is good at roaring, such as the Boom Dragon, this protective stone may be more suitable.
“There is also the last king-level protective stone. The protective effect is [avoidance distance], which allows the wearer to dodge farther distances during evasive actions such as rolling and sliding. The protective strength is also very high.
The only drawback is that it has a negative effect. People who wear it will be more likely to feel dizzy or breathless. "
At this point, the little alchemist struggled for a while before continuing: "This protective stone is larger in size and has a good structure. Maybe it can make two inlay holes and remove the negative protection at the same time.
I would rather suggest smelting, but to be honest, I'm not very sure.
The energy level of the King's Protective Stone is already very high. If you want to make it go further, you need some higher energy substances, such as energy crystals in certain monsters. "
“You mean Long Yu?” Feng Ying asked, blinking.
“Similar to that.”
“Xinji Lanai, the cost is so high, what if the smelting fails?” Feng Ying asked.
"Of course, the protective stone and materials are gone." The little fat man rubbed his cheek, "That's why I said it, I said it without confidence."
Several people looked at Hayata.
Hayata thought about the formation and said: "Let's smelt it. Although this protective stone is not bad, the negative effects are too obvious and it is not suitable for use.
For high-energy matter, wait a moment.”
Hayata left for a while, and when she came back, she brought back a black-purple crystal-like substance.
“Mr. Alchemist, is this okay with you?”
The little alchemist took the crystal and went back to his alchemy workshop to check it out. He stuck his head out of the door frame and said, "It should be fine! Although it feels a little ominous, the energy density is very high and can be used as a material."
By the way, what is this? It's not like a naturally occurring mineral. This is the first time I've seen it. "
Hayata smiled and replied: "I'm not sure. It was peeled off from a diseased monster, and the guild took away some of the samples. Scholars call this 'crazy dragon crystal'."
