"Work!
Before Alan, a dozen materials were laid out within reach. Taking the material from Moros, Alan went straight to the place for which he had worked so hard for three months.
There was always noise in the staff's making, and Alan did not want to make a fuss. So, long before he saw Moros, Alan had asked the captain to prepare a safe and quiet place that would be deserted for a few days.
The last thing Nova gave Alan was this little house, hidden for ten days and a half in the mountains and woods northeast of the city, with its own basement. The only problem is, a single line in and out. If it gets blocked, it goes straight through.
On the whole, Alan was satisfied with the cabin. The basement was intense, the elevation was even harmful, and the privacy was perfect. You can only do an explosion test if you are noticed!
Alan had an idea of what the staff might look like, and his drawings of what the energy runes would look like everywhere were piled up beside his desk. According to the young Rodel's estimate, the whole wand will take about ten days to complete. The main process is divided into three parts: skeleton building, carving runes, and inlaying the core!
If you can, it's better to do it all at once, but who can go ten days without sleep? Such a massive project, even an iron man can only take his time.
When everything was ready, Alan set to work while Kaka watched. The boy had also offered to help Alan, but the Arcane had refused so firmly that Chuck was depressed.
Before Alan's eyes stood a large, round-mouthed jar filled with a purple, gelatinous liquid, which would drip out when he let go of the tap at the bottom of the jar.
This purple gel is purple gold, and it's a high concentration of purple gold solution! Purple gold is an ore crystal that can only be dissolved in a unique alchemy solution, allowing Arcane practitioners to control its shape. However, this particular alchemy solvent state is precarious, as long as the Olympe energy is through the threshold, it will immediately volatilize, and then the purple gold in the solution will solidify, wholly set. Suppose the energy control is not good in the production process. In that case, it is easy to fall into the dilemma that the density of the first section is high and the thickness of the second section is low, and this method rod is useless!
After all, uneven matter is equal to uneven energy transfer. Such energy transfer will make Arcane effects significantly reduced!
In the process of rod shaping, the most difficult is to leave the rune casting groove, after the purple gold solidified with other materials poured out, and this groove requires far more than can be controlled! Rune foundry is a fine point. A little difference is not acceptable. Otherwise, the effect will be very different, or even no effect! Usually, they need to be polished and built behind closed doors.
But the casting of purple gold is to pay attention to one at a time, which is difficult to cast. How much? Think about it!
Alan only needed a scepter a little over a meter long. Still, he had enough material to make it ten meters long, for fear of repeated failures resulting in the material having to be recooked!
As for those discarded materials, they can be reused only by furnace processing. Alan was going to leave it all to Moros, and though he had never agreed to Moros's request, he had already decided to give the extra material to the blacksmith as equipment. He would not need the extra material any time soon, and with Alan in no hurry to make money, Moros was a good friend.
Alan took a deep breath, channeled the arcane energy into his hands, opened the spigot, and the force of gravity slowly squeezed out the purple gel. Alan knew this part of the Arcane rune by heart. The Arcane energy was steadily pulled into Alan's hands, and the amorphous purple-gold solution slowly turned into a thin rod. The alchemical solvent in it quickly evaporates when exposed to the free arcane energy, returning the gel to a gold-like, non-gold crystal.
At the same time, the thin purple rod appeared with thick rune lines! Like a colony of ants eating, the lines of the rune slowly spread away like the top of a light, uncondensed pole!
More and more of the purple gold congeals in Alan's hands, and soon it grows to half a meter long, and the runes reach the center where Alan also needs to look at the drawings to remind him of the details. The drawing of the central Runes had hardly begun when Alan's brows tightened and suddenly the tap was turned off! And because of this interruption, the staff that needed to be finished in one go became a waste material!
"Cut? Chuck, who had been watching, saw Alan doing well and suddenly stopped, not knowing what was going on.
Alan frowned and shook his head. "I got it wrong. I have to start again."
The difficulty of drawing runes is too high, and it is different from normal drawing. You can choose the part that you draw first. The runes on the wand must be drawn from bottom to top by several strokes at the same time. Alan made a mistake, and all his work was wasted. He had to start again.
This, however, was not to be expected. It did not affect Alan's mood; after a short break, he began the second production. As for the first half of the staff, Alan put it in a large wooden box beside the table, collected it and sent it to Moros.
The second production still needed to be smoother. This time Alan only pulled out more than ten centimeters, because of a minor distraction, resulting in the purple and gold pile, being directly abandoned!
