Extraordinary Sailing (Extraordinary Voyage)
Chapter 268: Shadow Amulet
Lighting up all the "hanging wind chimes" in the laboratory, sitting in front of the trait workbench that had been prepared a long time ago, Ivan was just about to start doing it.
Gulu...guh...
I touched my stomach. I have been busy during the day since yesterday, and I haven't had time to eat until this morning.
The crew has already taken the enchanted lizards to prepare food, should they use the dry food in the "magic pocket" to pad it?
"Right, there is this!"
While rummaging for food in his pocket, he suddenly saw the pure black lizard egg he had found on the island before. The situation was urgent at the time, and I should have received it in the "magic pocket" easily, and almost forgot it.
"Well, the whole family has to be neat and tidy."
Add water directly to the crucible in the laboratory, soak the egg the size of a volleyball, and prepare to make a boiled egg in white water.
It seemed that such a big lizard egg needed to be boiled a little longer, and Ivan ignored it after lighting up the alcohol lamp.
Calm down, start preparing to make his first "wild talisman".
"Wild Talisman" as a series of talisman, there are many kinds. Other wood, stone, metal, etc. made of non-biological materials, each of which has more than one genre.
If it is subdivided by purpose, such as energy blessing, physical augmentation, protection, attack, curse, blessing... it is even more vast, even if it is a lifetime of intensive research, it is difficult to count.
"Wild Talisman" is one of the ancient inheritances used by ancient wizards since the age of ignorance.
It is mainly based on the runes mastered by the wizard combined with the extraordinary materials of the creature itself to make various amulets with various uses.
More precisely, it is based on extraordinary materials, supplemented by runes, to fully stimulate the strength of the original owner of the material, and use amulets to simulate or borrow the magical abilities of demonized creatures.
Although the changes are not as good as the various modern witchcraft tools, and limited by specific extraordinary materials, it is extremely difficult to mass produce, but the advantages of specialization are also very prominent.
It is worth mentioning that the "Black Panther Talisman" which can increase agility and responsiveness by 20% in Ivan's hands is actually one of this series.
However, speed, power, and reaction ability are just the most basic of them, and the various special "spell-like abilities" possessed by the demonized creatures are the real treasures hidden behind the [wild talisman]!
Under the bright light of the hanging wind chimes, Ivan carefully examined the smooth surface of each piece in his hand, and circles of scales with natural texture grew on the back.
Under the auxiliary calculation of "data-based vision", the production plan is silently designed.
There is no doubt that the "Shadow Lizard" has nothing else, but the ability to hide in the shadows is irrefutable!
With such a talisman, even an ordinary crappy assassin can instantly become an assassin master.
If it falls into the hands of Duncan, the veteran assassin "Chameleon" from the "eagle's nest", it will inevitably change his abilities directly and become a terrifying existence that even the great knight must be careful of.
Ivan even wondered whether the mysterious source of the extraordinary profession "Shadow Lizard Ghost Thief" he inherited had some relationship with the shadow world?
Even the most wasteful use of this talisman.
Let an ordinary person hold it in his hand, and use the ability of shadowing to temporarily avoid the physical world, especially the attack from the physical side, for example... The viability of the holder is greatly improved.
Obviously, if it can be completed, it will be a very practical talisman!
In the mystical knowledge inherited in "The Sacrifice of Flesh", a complete talisman is composed of three parts: "spiritual material", "imagery", and "built-in rune", and then inspired by a specific ritual to become a true [wild talisman】.
After thinking for a while, Ivan took out a piece of white paper from the drawer and put the rune group design in his mind on the paper.
There is no difficulty for Aiwen to assist all intellectual mystery with a "data-based vision".
The most energy-consuming part is still the part of the practice.
I repeatedly modified the design and experimented with wood chips several times. When I was really confident, Aiwen started to do it.
First, take out a scale with the worst appearance and try it out. Ivan doesn't expect to succeed in one shot. The initial goal is to complete all the steps step by step.
Then absorb experience to correct errors and omissions, and achieve the most basic effect of a talisman with the second or third one.
Aiwen sat down at the workbench.
Holding the dagger-long black non-reflective scales in one hand, and using a thin beast pen dipped in the red potion in the other hand, on the surface of the scales were written regular and spiritual runes like printed ones.
Rustle--
Because from the beginning, there was the participation of extraordinary power, but the simple rune writing made a strange sound like a bamboo branch across the sand.
Aiwen didn't care about this vision.
The movements in the hands are constant, although it is not up to the water, but it is also pleasing to the eye.
After a full five minutes, the front and back sides of the dagger-length scales were covered with extremely fine runes, and the front was densely packed and the back was sparsely arranged in a layered ring.
Finally, at the center of the smooth front of the scales, a somewhat three-dimensional spiritual "shadow" is formed together.
This is the core ability of the wild talisman!
Put this semi-finished talisman on the snow-white ceramic table specially customized for the test bench.
Ivan was silent for a moment, mobilizing his spirituality, pinching the index finger and thumb of his left hand to make a gesture like a wing, covering the scales, and uttering an inaudible curse:
cel——
【Hidden】
The spirituality of the liquid medicine on the scales was stimulated, and after a faint golden-red glow, it instantly disappeared as if it had penetrated into the scales.
When the extraordinary spiritual light dissipated, the semi-finished talisman had returned to its original black and non-reflective appearance.
Picking up the scales again, Ivan took out the carving knife and went directly to the next process-"Inscribe the Image".
The practice of knighthood that has persisted since childhood has given Aiwen far more powerful wrist strength and control than those wizards who rely on witchcraft to complete the extraordinary transformation of their bodies.
However, since "imagery" is called "imagery", of course it is impossible to simply engrave the image of the owner of the spiritual material.
Instead, the carving knife is used as the "pen" and the wizard's own spirituality is used as the "pigment", leaving the image that best represents this creature in the mind of the producer on the talisman.
With one cut, there is no stagnation.
Aiwen does not need to draw in advance like ordinary engravers. His extraordinary memory and thinking ability allows him to achieve an extraordinary level of accurate reproduction!
Able to perfectly manifest the "images" in the brain.
Rustle....
A slightly abstract but very vivid image of a lizard gradually appeared on the hard scales.
However, it is not the small lizards that are less than two meters long, but the lizard king who has a hexagonal crown and is like a giant Godzilla!
Obviously in Aiwen's mind, that is the ultimate form of the shadow lizards!
"Perhaps, just pulling out a scale from its body is much more spiritual than the essence of these ordinary lizards..."
Blowing off the debris on the scales gently, Ivan was a little fantasizing looking forward to the sky.
But he also knew that this idea was as whimsical as a mortal pulling a tiger's beard into medicine.
If you want to use the scales of the lizard king to make amulet, it is possible to achieve it unless you also become a third-order high-level wizard and have the ability to enter the shadow world at will.
The first two processes have been completed, and Aiwen placed the amulet face up and placed it on the ceramic table.
There is already an image of the lizard king with both the "shadow" obscurity and the majesty of the giant beast. The technique may not be brilliant, but it is full of charm.
Afterwards, he took out a "tree of life graphic" painted by himself with the best extraordinary animal skin paper he could find and hung it solemnly on the cabin wall behind the workbench.
The surface of the paper, which is white and silky like a girl's skin, is a "fallen tree" with dark green as the main body and various symbolic symbols such as red, purple, yellow, and blue.
The final stimulating ceremony is different from one family to another. Of course, what Aiwen uses is the inheritance from the "Sacrifice of Flesh".
Even if it hasn't been realized, the "tree of life" that exists in the mysterious space and time, as the mysterious source of the school, already has a certain miracle that mortal wizards do not possess!
Aiwen encloses the semi-finished "wild talisman" in the shape of a pentagram with wooden nails, swords, ox-driving rods, fish hooks, and mammalian molars that he has prepared long ago.
Then light a piece of incense.
When the green smoke rose up, a mysterious atmosphere suddenly appeared on the workbench, and the dark and extraordinary aura began to flow continuously on the surface of the talisman.
The shadows seemed to have become thicker, and even the laboratory where the hanging wind chimes were lit suddenly dimmed a lot.
Seeing this vision, Ivan nodded.
I feel that even if my first craftsmanship cannot perfectly meet the expectations of the design, it is not without the slightest effect.
The stimulating ceremony has already started, but this process cannot be done overnight. It takes at least half an hour to get pregnant~lightnovelpub.net~sniff——
The nose had already smelled the scent coming from the kitchen. Since it was not over here for a while, Ivan decided to go and eat first.
As an extraordinary person, he is full of energy and vitality. Sometimes it is common to do research for days and nights without sleeping.
But even if it can be done for a period of time without eating and living on clean water, Ivan feels that life would be too boring if he loses food.
"Cutlet, meatballs, rosemary fried meat, charcoal grilled meat slices...a bit like a mixture of beef and chicken, a bit craving!
It seems that the Chardonnay wine brought from Milan has also been opened..."
A keen sense of smell easily distinguished the various aromas in the air, and couldn't help swallowing saliva.
Bang--
Aiwen, who pushed out the door to enjoy the lizard meat meal, had already forgotten his "white boiled eggs" completely.
