Chapter 263 Shattered Peace
"It, it, it...it's shining!"
The long sword exudes a faint white shimmer, especially the gems inlaid at the end of the sword, which are even more dazzling against the white light.
The weapon seemed to have suddenly changed from an ordinary weapon to an artifact blessed by the gods.
The first impression given by the appearance is different!
Pet Twain was astonished.
Not only was he surprised by the changes in the appearance of the weapons;
he was also surprised by the reactions of other customers in the blacksmith shop.
When they heard Pet Twain's exclamation, the other guests just turned their heads and glanced this way. When they saw the glowing white weapon, their eyes only fluctuated for a moment before they looked away.
He didn't have such an obvious reaction like Pet Twain.
As if he was used to it.
"This, I, you, it, they..."
Pet Twain was speechless.
Mullen patiently explained to Pet Twain with a smile on his face: "Congratulations, Mr. Tostin!"
"Three reinforcements were successful in a row."
"[Equipment Enhancement] This is the effect of the enhanced magic."
Pointing at the long sword that was emitting white light.
"We generally refer to its current state as +3 enhancement, which means it has completed three consecutive enhancements. Its signature feature is its white shimmer."
"Not only the +3 state, but if you can continuously enhance the equipment to +6, +9, etc., its light effect will also change accordingly."
"As far as I know, after +6 it will emit a conspicuous light green light."
"As for +9, I'm sorry, I haven't seen anyone successfully enhance a piece of equipment nine times in a row."
Pettwain felt her heartbeat speed up.
There are also different light effects, isn’t this exactly what he needs!
Other people’s weapons look featureless at first glance, just ordinary iron weapons.
His equipment all has light effects, and they are the color of light effects that symbolizes the continuous success of multiple enhancements.
"How much does the fourth enhancement cost?"
Malen smiled and held out three fingers: "It's not expensive, 30 silver coins."
"Then what are you waiting for? Keep strengthening!" Pet Twain said without hesitation.
It seems that for every additional continuous enhancement, the cost will be 10 silver coins more expensive.
For ordinary adventurers, dozens of silver coins are considered a huge sum of money.
Pet Twain is not short of money!
He is already looking forward to what the weapon will look like after he has successfully strengthened it 9 times in a row and 12 times!
“This place in Xiwei Ling is worth it!”
"No wonder so many people are coming here even if they don't want to stay in safe border camps."
Pettwain totally got it.
He had thought about it, even if he didn't achieve anything in killing monsters this time during the hunt for Yue, if he could bring home a weapon that was strengthened to +12 and show it to his father, he would definitely be able to stand out among his brothers and sisters. .
The effect is comparable to the rare enchantment magic, but the cost is only a few silver coins. Even if it is strengthened 12 times, the total cost is less than 10 gold coins.
When the time comes, he will tell his father about the weapons and the matter.
Doesn’t this show his foresight?
Looking at Mullen's action of raising the forging hammer and bringing it down, Pet Twain was filled with anticipation.
"Bang!"
The hammer head collided with the sword body, making a loud noise, and at the same time, a scene that made Pet Twain feel uncomfortable appeared:
There was no familiar light flashing.
But rich gray-black smoke!
Moreover, along with the smoke, dense cracks began to appear quickly on the sword, until with a "boom", the entire blade exploded.
Pet Twain was dumbfounded.
He stared blankly at the "+3 weapon" that turned into pieces on the ground, his mind went blank. Maren put down the forging hammer and couldn't help but clicked his tongue with regret.
"Oh, what a pity."
"Unfortunately, Mr. Tostin, the fourth enhancement failed."
"And, here's something I need to tell you."
"After the weapon completes +3, the [Equipment Strengthening] magic will be applied to it next. Once it fails, the destructive power caused by the broken balance will not only completely dissipate the original strengthening effect, but even cause the weapon itself to be damaged. ”
Pettwain held it in for a long time: "...So?"
"So sorry, you're out of weapons."
"This is the same as when you failed to strengthen before. This is a normal phenomenon caused by the failure of the magic to take effect. It is not a problem of our store, so we cannot provide you with a refund."
After Ma Lun apologized, he then said in a familiar sales pitch: "However, please don't worry. Considering that you are a major customer of our store's customized equipment, I have specially prepared a backup plan for you!"
"Please wait!"
After saying that, Maren turned around and went into the warehouse behind the blacksmith shop, and quickly found an identical long sword!
The same mahogany hilt, the same sharp sword body, and the same inlaid with clear gems.
"Your order cost 3 gold and 47 silver at that time. This is the same product that fully meets your requirements."
"Although the last weapon was unfortunately broken and damaged due to failure to strengthen it, as the old saying goes, broken things are safe, and broken things will definitely bring you extra good luck."
"I'll give you a small change for this same type of weapon. I'll just charge you 3 gold and 40 silver!"
"Mr. Tostin, what do you think?"
What else could Pet Twain say.
Fortunately, he still thinks that this magical casting technique is affordable, and it can be strengthened with only a few dozen silver coins.
It was indeed cheap, but he had never thought that it would break if the reinforcement failed!
The weapon was broken, which meant that the more than 3 gold coins he spent earlier and the money spent on these enhancements were all wasted!
The cost suddenly jumped to nearly 5 gold!
Although his heart was bleeding, Pet Twain could only nodded gloomily and accepted Mullen's proposal.
He took out 3 gold coins from the money bag and handed them to Maren.
Can he say he doesn't want it?
Definitely not!
This time he sneaked out and brought this weapon with him.
Now this weapon is simply gone.
Considering that he had signed an employment commission with the team called "Deep Blue", he had to go with them to hunt monsters in the dark forest the next morning.
If he didn't even have his weapons, how could he destroy the monsters?
Tear it raw with your hands?
After receiving the same brand new gorgeous long sword, Pei Twain became more and more angry as he thought about it.
He clearly had just now a "Guangwu" weapon that could emit a white shimmer, and its power was quite different from the one he was holding now.
This gap was too much for him to bear!
Pettwain thought about it.
The cost of the first three enhancements is not expensive, and according to Mullen, it is only from the fourth enhancement that the weapon may break due to the balance being destroyed.
For the first three times, even if you fail, the strengthening effect will be reset to zero.
Doesn't that mean that he can spend money to strengthen the first three times?
Pet Twain couldn't help it.
He also took out a golden Leyak Kingdom gold coin from his purse and threw it to Maren.
"Strengthen this weapon for me too!"
"However, don't try +4 for now, just strengthen him to +3 for me!"
