My Secret Cult Life with Points Added

Chapter 50 Equipment Enchantment

"The core of equipment enchanting is the additional properties, which are divided into three steps: perception, disassembly, and reconstruction."

Felix walked to a small workbench next to the podium and took out three items from the toolbox beside it:

Raw iron ore, cast iron blocks, and daggers.

Lucius focused his attention on the three items, waiting for Felix to explain the specific steps of enchanting, when he heard the captain call his name.

"Lucius," Felix turned to face him, smiling, "can you recount the history of the Second Age?"

Although Lucius was somewhat puzzled, he still slowly spoke, relying on his professional academic knowledge:

"The Second Age is known as the Age of the Overturned Stones. First, the Sun and the White Forge emerged from the radiance, and then the Crimson Goblet and the Moth also rose during this period."

"In the later part of the Second Age, the conflict between the emerging gods and the old gods continued to accumulate, and the former also regarded the latter as an obstacle to their further progress."

"It began with moths hunting the wheel, then the red cup drank the waves dry, the forge in broad daylight shattered flint, the colonel killed the seven serpents, and finally the reversed-hatched egg escaped into the radiance as the sign of the end of the Second Age."

"Not bad." Felix listened, then turned and pointed to the three items on the control panel, steer the conversation back to the classroom:

"The earliest equipment enchanters were inspired by this history."

He believes that the history of the Second Age can be viewed as a complete process of the evolution of desire, that is, the transformation of primitive desires into more complex and more difficult-to-satisfy inner desires.

According to this process, the essence of equipment enchanting is to perceive the primal desires within the materials, decompose them with a higher elemental power, and then reconstruct them as an enhancement of the enchanter's own elemental power.

He picked up the raw iron ore and held it in his palm to show the three of them.

"This is raw iron ore from the Caucasus Kingdom in the north."

It grows in the extremely cold regions of the Caucasus Mountains, where iron ore veins have been sealed by permafrost and snow for tens of thousands of years, accumulating deep within the veins over long geological periods.

If it is left to remain in that environment, after several thousand years, it may be fully tainted by the spiritual energy seeping from the depths of the mountains, eventually transforming itself into an extraordinary material.

What we need to perceive is the primal, inner essence of it—the desire for the continuation of the earth and the growth of the mountains.

Lucius seemed to understand something, and he activated his Perception Mask to look at the original iron ore.

Against the gray-white background of the phase boundary, the interior of the ore indeed showed a very faint light red glow.

patter

Felix secured the raw iron ore to a small heating device on the control panel and pressed the heating switch.

A golden-red flame containing the power of casting erupted from the nozzle below the device, enveloping the ore in the center of the flame.

After completing this step, Felix picked up the cast iron block beside him and continued explaining:

"The decomposition process is relatively easier, but more complicated. It involves using methods such as flame forging, acid etching, electrolysis, or direct scouring by certain physical forces to dissolve the original desires in the material."

This process requires attention to three key points: whether material impurities are thoroughly removed, whether the original impurities have been completely eliminated, and whether the new material can maintain a stable physical structure after losing the support of the original impurities.

Lucius looked at the heating platform next to him, where the iron ore had been melted into molten iron under the golden-red flames.

He could clearly see that the faint red glow of the heart in the molten iron was gradually fading and eventually disappearing completely.

Felix noticed this as well. He turned off the heating switch, poured the molten iron into the mold next to him, and then immersed it in the coolant.

Accompanied by a burst of white mist, the molten iron quickly solidified in the mold.

When Felix took it out, it was a cast iron block that was exactly the same as the one that had been shown before.

He placed the newly cast iron block on the table, pointed to it, and said:

"Now we can begin the reconstruction process, adding your own elemental power to this pure base material to create a complete enchanted piece of equipment, such as this dagger."

He picked up the enchanted dagger beside him, flicked the blade lightly with his finger, and a golden-red flame immediately adhered to it.

After listening to the whole story, Lucius frowned and pondered for a moment, then raised his hand to indicate:

"Captain, I have a question. The steps of decomposition and reconstruction seem to be closer to the daily training of a forging apprentice."

If the essence of enchanting is to modify matter using elemental properties, then why can't we directly apply a large amount of elemental power to finished equipment for infiltration?

Felix seemed to have known this all along; he pointed to himself and sighed:

"Because it is difficult to do this, the finished equipment is mixed with a lot of complex desires, not only the original desires left by the material residue, but also the casting residues left by the craftsmen during the forging process, and even the emotional residues that the user projects on it during daily use. These desires are intertwined to form a complex phase that is extremely difficult to resolve."

Even the most passionate cannot be 100% certain that once their sexual energy enters a finished piece of equipment, it can completely dissolve these complex desires layer by layer without damaging its internal physical structure.

This requires an extremely strong ability to perceive sexuality, to accurately distinguish the source, intensity, and location of each desire amidst a mixture of emotions, so…”

He looked at Lucius and said with emotion, "Only the Perception Face of the Cup can do this. It is the most sensitive and delicate of all the criteria for perceiving desire."

If you look at an ordinary dagger with your perception of its face, you can see the color, shape, and distribution of every desire within it.

You use the power of the cup to influence it, precisely controlling the power to act only on a certain layer of desire, without affecting the adjacent material structure.

This is something that individuals with other sex sequences find difficult to do.

Upon hearing this, Lucius's face lit up with surprise. He hadn't expected that Oliver had considered this point when he recommended him to become an equipment enchanter.

"Alright." Felix finished his theoretical lesson and turned to walk to the lockers on the left side of the enchanting workshop.

He opened one of the cabinet doors, rummaged around inside for a moment, took out some materials and equipment, and then distributed them to the three men.

"Thomas and Catherine need to feel the raw desire of the material, while Lucius practices how to control the sexual phase power to infiltrate ordinary preparations."

Lucius looked at the three ordinary daggers in front of him, picked up the one on the left, and the power belonging to the cup flowed from his hand.

Within the field of vision of the facial mask, he sensed that the dagger possessed elements of heart, forging, blade, and other more subtle aspects.

When the power of the cup enters the dagger, a weak but obvious repulsive force comes from the dagger, as if demonstrating its resistance.

Lucius attempted to condense the power of the cup into a sharp blade to pressure the blade's surface, trying to subdue it.

Click!

A small piece of debris had broken off from the blade of the dagger.

Lucius was shocked. This was still a blade from the Lionsmith?

The Lion Craftsman, in contrast to the Colonel, embodies resistance and change, emphasizing courage and brute force.

He quickly adjusted and tried again, this time carefully guiding the force of the cup to concentrate on the back of the dagger.

zizi.

Its local temperature rose instantly, and the surface of the dagger began to melt slightly, turning into a flowing liquid.
