Chapter 250 Gem Enchantment 2
The other side resembled a shop, and the most eye-catching thing was the curved sword hanging on the wall directly opposite. It was orange-gold in color, and the back of the blade was engraved with dense dragon-like patterns.
The curved blade, hanging on the wall, exuded an invisible aura of power and strength, an aura Cheng Jiu had only seen in the previous Golden Realm.
Unparalleled martial arts!
With just that one glance, this thought was deeply etched into the hearts of everyone who had seen that scimitar.
Noticing Cheng Jiu's gaze, Zhu Yu introduced the weapon to Cheng Jiu with extreme fervor and excitement: "See that scimitar? This is a top-tier weapon that has been enchanted eighteen times by three masters of the Enchanting Hall. It represents the most exquisite efforts of the three masters and is not for sale."
Each enchantment takes into account the right time, place, and people. The enchantment will only be carried out if the three masters agree. Even the most top-tier Thor's Hammer in the royal family has only been enchanted twenty-four times.
Many speculate that perhaps one day this scimitar will surpass Thor's hammer and become the number one weapon on the continent.
The future number one martial artist on the continent!
Cheng Jiu's eyes widened in shock, his expression serious as he re-examined the weapons on the wall, taking in the splendor of the future number one martial artist on the continent.
Overall, the scimitar cannot be described as particularly flashy.
At least the few weapons Cheng Jiu had seen in this world were more or less inlaid with enchanted gems.
But this knife has none; the only gemstone is a palm-sized ruby on the hilt.
Judging from its energy clarity, it is definitely better than the grade eight gemstone that Cheng Jiu bought before.
But the entire knife is like a giant dragon coiled on the scimitar, seemingly gentle and harmless, but in reality looking down on all living beings.
The scale patterns are not drawn randomly, but are drawn according to a certain rule. Each level of scale symbolizes an enchanted gem, and there are a total of eighteen levels of scales.
Before they knew it, Cheng Jiu and Zhu Yu were completely absorbed in the sight. The people in the shop were used to it; their shop was very famous on the mainland, and people often came to admire the curved sword hanging there.
Cheng Jiu gained a rudimentary understanding of enchanted gems. The enchanting of these gems was definitely not random, but rather a reasonable combination following a certain rule, much like alchemy.
If a gem enchanting attempt fails, it might be due to a conflict between the patterns of the two gems used during the enchanting process.
Previously, Cheng Jiu had only seen simple enchantments where large gems were inlaid in weapons, but this scimitar had transcended gem inlay and was almost the essence of enchantment.
It's no wonder that each enchantment requires the joint consultation and decision of three masters; reaching this point is truly remarkable.
Cheng Jiu doesn't understand the more fundamental differences yet, since she has never been exposed to enchanting and doesn't understand enchanting diagrams or texts. But Cheng Jiu is confident that she can enchant with ease.
The scimitar is the pinnacle of enchanting masters, and both gem enchanters and enchanters can learn something from it.
However, compared to Cheng Jiu, Zhu Yu was not interested in gem enchanting. According to her, she knew that gem enchanting was very profitable, but her talent in it was only average.
Becoming a gem enchanter takes a long time. Although she is a Blesser, the support her clan provides is very limited, and her family is also quite ordinary. She doesn't want her older sister to earn money and support her all the time.
So she simply gave up. Luckily, she had a good talent for enchanting and could assist her sister in battle, joining the team to earn commissions.
The two then parted ways; one headed towards the weapons section, while the other went to the enchanting section next door, where there were novel enchanting circuits that Zhu Yu found very interesting.
Yan Ji and Guang Qing were looking at the newly released greatsword and staff. Cheng Jiu didn't disturb them, but instead stood aside, picking up one weapon at a time to examine it.
Most of the weapons here are practice pieces made by apprentices. The patterns are very simple, and the enchanting techniques are also very crude. They simply design a pattern and then add gems into it. Whether it succeeds or not is entirely up to fate.
The effects of enchantments are all sorts of strange. For example, this staff is enchanted to increase defense. Cheng Jiu doesn't know what it's for. Is it supposed to be used to stab enemies with a spear? That would be too much of a burden for mages!
For example, this shield's effect is to shatter. Literally, as long as you apply brute force, it will instantly shatter into seven or eight square pieces, which are completely harmless.
If the previous weapon could still be used as a spear if you didn't mind, then this one is complete garbage. Its only use is probably to screw over unlucky players!
Cheng Jiu was stopped by the shop assistant, gritted his teeth, paid twenty copper coins, and picked up a pile of trash.
Cheng Jiu initially didn't want to suffer this loss, but the owner who trained this pile of trash cried and pounced on her leg after learning that her shield was broken, demanding that she take responsibility!
"Let go! Let go of me!" Cheng Jiu was being held so tightly that he could barely move!
"No, no!" The golden pendant hanging on her leg shook its head frantically, impossible to shake off: "Please buy it, please buy it! If I don't open for business soon, I'll be kicked out! I have elderly parents and young children to support, kind customers, please help me!"
The commotion attracted a crowd of onlookers, and Cheng Jiu felt a strange sense of shame: "Let go!"
The golden, furry head kept shaking: "You broke the shield. It'll take a whole day to repair, so we can't sell it!"
"Even if your shield isn't broken, you still won't be able to sell it!" Cheng Jiu complained, looking pleadingly at the shop manager who had come over after hearing the commotion.
"Senior brother, don't do this! It's too embarrassing!" The person in charge originally didn't want to admit it, but as Cheng Jiu's gaze came over, the other guests also looked at him, and he had no choice but to step forward and pull on the golden object on Cheng Jiu's foot.
Feeling inexplicably embarrassed! The person in charge felt his face burning with shame. Who told this guy to come out?!
"Twenty coppers! This is only twenty coppers! It's incredibly cheap. If I sell just one, I can keep it!"
The blond object was still struggling. Cheng Jiu sighed helplessly and closed his eyes briefly: "I'll buy it out of kindness!"
Meeting the slightly guilty and sympathetic gaze of the person in charge, Cheng Jiu took out twenty copper coins and handed them to the person in charge. The person in charge kindly took a bag and helped Cheng Jiu put the fragments on the ground into the bag. Seemingly feeling indebted, the person in charge also gave Cheng Jiu another long spear with added defense as a bonus.
Very well, two pieces of trash!
She wasn't a garbage collector, and meeting Cheng Jiu's dark gaze, the person in charge was clearly a little guilty: "Don't be fooled by this enchantment attribute... okay, it really isn't very useful! But the material cost is definitely worth twenty copper!"
Cheng Jiu blinked. So what? What's the use? Is she supposed to pry off the enchanted gem and refine it again? Who's that idle? A bunch of low-grade materials!
Moreover, she had never heard of this before. She only knew that if the enchantment failed, the weapon would be ruined. Who knew if the ruined weapon here could be reforged?
I always felt that this shop was just as unreliable as the guy clinging to her leg on the ground.
"Is that enough? Get up! You're not ashamed, but I am!" Cheng Jiu kicked the shameless guy rolling on the ground.
The other person had blond hair and blue eyes, and could be described as handsome. From his appearance, he seemed like an innocent little prince.
But the result is that he's a shameless guy who tries to suck up to customers!
"Kind lady, thank you for saving me from this predicament." The blond boy leaped up after dodging Cheng Jiu's attack, and gracefully and affectionately took Cheng Jiu's hand, expressing his gratitude.
