Chapter 1119 New Ideas
After understanding the actual effect of ‘drinking blood’, Zhou Xu’s analysis has just begun.
In this process, the more in-depth he studied, the more powerful he could feel the designer of the mantra of 'Drinking Blood'.
Indeed, looking at the effects alone, the Wood Elf Mages' 'Energy Drain' is more versatile and more effective. Compared with 'Energy Drain', 'Blood Drinking' is simply a super-degraded version. .
In fact, Zhou Xu did think so at the beginning.
But he soon found out he was wrong.
‘Energy extraction’ is indeed more versatile and more effective, but ‘blood drinking’ also has its own advantages, and its advantage lies in low consumption!
The designer reduces the consumption by adding restrictions to this mantra, so that the consumption of 'blood drinking' is almost equal to the consumption of 'sharpness' and 'tenacity'.
And this also allows the effect of ‘drinking blood’ to be passively triggered throughout the process!
In the process of continued in-depth research, Zhou Xu’s enthusiasm for this enchantment mantra became even higher.
Ten days later, in the palace, looking at the enchanted mantra that he had perfectly copied in his palm, Zhou Xu had a smile on his face.
This can be regarded as a job of chopping wood without missing a beat.
If we had not digested the knowledge in the inherited wisdom and done enough homework in advance, this research would never have achieved this efficiency.
【Can I add my ‘fire attack’ to this? 】
Zhou Xu subconsciously wanted to add 'fire attack' to it, so as to further increase the intensity of this enchantment effect.
But I soon realized I had made a stupid mistake.
In the knowledge related to inherited wisdom, it has been specifically mentioned that for small enchantments like this, the more mantras the better, there is a balance.
Take for example the Red Flame Saber that they have developed at this stage in Great Zhou Dynasty.
Although the triggering problem of the Flame Slash has now been solved, it cannot change the reality that one shot of the Flame Slash will directly drain all the energy of the Red Flame Saber.
Under this premise, if you do not directly use Flame Slash during the battle, but use normal attacks first, fight with the help of the passive effects of other enchantments, consume energy, and then use Flame Slash, the effect of Flame Slash will be The power will decrease, or even be severely consumed, and the Flame Slash will be unable to be released directly.
Obviously, this is a situation where the balance is not quite right. Multiple enchantment effects are piled together and start to interfere with each other.
This is also related to the fact that the forging material itself is not good enough. Using better materials, such as mithril for silver steel swords, may be able to solve this problem.
He can't solve the material problem in a short time, but he can solve the enchantment problem!
After digesting the knowledge and having a new understanding of enchantment, Zhou Xu had already made up his mind to adjust the enchantment of the Red Flame Saber.
He wants to directly discard the effects of 'toughness' and 'sharpness', leaving only the effects of 'fire attack' and 'slow recovery of natural energy'.
This turns the Red Flame Saber into a more pure 'explosive' sword!
The fight is for that flaming slash!
As for whether removing ‘toughness’ and ‘sharpness’ will affect the performance of the Red Flame Saber...
The answer is definitely yes!
Compared with the original red flame sword, its toughness and sharpness will definitely be reduced, but compared with the crystal iron sword, this difference will become negligible.
The key lies in the fire crystal stone.
Li Gan has said before that during the forging process of adding fire crystal, the fire crystal will absorb the flame energy, allowing the alloy to be more fully tempered, thus making the forged weapons more powerful than ordinary ones. Crystal iron weapons are tougher and sharper!
In this way, Zhou Xu's current thinking is very simple. He plans to launch two weapons, one is improved and equipped for elite and ace troops, which can be used to kill the enemy with a burst of flames, or the red flame sword for targeting the enemy's elite troops.
The other one still uses crystal iron as the main material, without adding fire crystals, and is blessed with the enchantment mantra of the ready-made blood-drinking sword, focusing on a continuous combat capability. The blood-drinking knife!
Compared with fire crystals, crystal iron materials are more abundant. As long as there is enough time, their current internal troops in the Great Zhou can basically complete the entire coverage.
Now, the positioning is clear.
The Red Flame Saber is a tactical weapon for some special situations, while the Blood-Drinking Knife is a conventional weapon.
After thinking about this matter in his mind again, Zhou Xu felt that there was nothing wrong with it, and quickly called Li Gan over to give him instructions.
The Red Flame War Sword had just finished its first edition not long ago. Li Gan had no idea about the fact that His Majesty wanted to make adjustments again and was very calm.
Weapons are meant to be constantly updated.
Although more than a hundred Red Flame Sabers have been built, the total number is still not many. At this stage, at most it is a small-scale trial. At this time, it is updated and the loss is not huge. big.
On the contrary, it is crystal iron weapons. They have been forging internally for many years in Da Zhou. Thousands of crystal iron war knives and crystal iron war spears. If these crystal iron weapons want to be completely updated, it is estimated that it will take more than two years. It can be done in three years.
When he thought of this and the workload, Li Gan felt a burst of pressure.
"Your Majesty, please rest assured that I will definitely complete the mission!"
Time passed quietly after that, and as the temperature gradually increased, the season soon entered summer.
On this day, Xuan Yu, who was still acting as a messenger on the northeastern border despite the scorching sun, flew back to the palace in Black Moon City with the letter.
Zhou Xu, who took off the letter paper and read the contents, couldn't help but be in a trance.
The content here is Li Ce’s paraphrase.
To put it simply, the messenger from the female warrior clan came to their border and informed them that Queen Yalvet was going to hold a birthday party for her newly born heir, and she specially invited him to attend.
In the Qinzheng Hall, Li Bowen, who also understood the situation, frowned.
“For this kind of thing, we usually send an envoy from the Great Zhou Dynasty to congratulate us with gifts. How can we ask His Majesty to make this trip in person?!”
Say it Li Bowen looked unhappy when he said this, and so did Huo Qubing on the other side.
Let the Emperor Zhou go to the other side’s capital to attend the birthday party in person?
In their opinion, this behavior of the female warrior clan somewhat ignores their great Zhou.
Regarding this, Zhou Xu, as an insider, coughed twice in embarrassment.
"Well, Queen Yalvet shouldn't be that kind of person. Just recently, hasn't the construction of the fortress on the northeastern border officially started? I'll go there to inspect it and attend the celebration banquet by the way. Okay.”
[The construction team just arrived a while ago, what is there to inspect now? 】
A trace of doubt flashed across Li Bowen’s face, even a little baffled.
Huo Qubing on the side was thoughtful. He lowered his head to ponder for a while, then raised his head to look at their majesty. He didn’t know what he was thinking. For a time, Zhou Xulu felt like he was sitting on pins and needles, like a ray on his back, and like a lump in his throat. ……
