Chương 220: Blacksmithing
I headed over to get my whole Gideon thing of the day over with. His previous upset attitude had been replaced with excitement. I looked him up then down.
"What?" I stared at him for a few seconds, "I thought you'd still be upset."
"Come on," Gideon went to grab me impatiently only to miss, and get a dirty angry look from me, "Just let me show you."
I followed him into the back room of his shop, and he motioned for me to look at some sort of scanner. The gloves I'd messed with yesterday sitting on the scanner portion, and he seemed to want me to come around, and look at the readout portion. I started reading.
Weapon type: Gauntlet
Tier: 17
Infused elements: Water, Lightning
Active skills: Lightning bolt (RR 15min), Ice spike (RR 10 min), Passive healing (constant)
"I'm assuming RR stands for recharge rate," I glanced at Gideon as he nodded before refocusing on the screen, "What about the passive healing?"
"It's slow," Gideon stepped back to look at the other mana weapons in his backroom, "Took twenty minutes to heal a small cut, but it's there, and that kind of skill is almost unheard of in forged beast gear."
"I'm only upgrading one piece of gear for you today," I kept my expression neutral, "Can't risk running out of mana."
"That's fine," Gideon said while still sounding disappointed, "Even one or two more pieces of gear being upgraded like that would be plenty for me to study." Then much quieter, "For now."
"If you were trying to sound creepy then you succeeded," I looked at the rack of his homemade weapons, "What one do you want me to enhance this time? It be better if you didn't choose one that's not fire element."
"Why fire element?" Gideon stopped looking at his weapons to look at me.
"I don't have fire element," I answered, "You'll get better results from elements I actually have."
"Oh," Gideon started looking through his weapons again, then his face got a confused look, followed by realization, and then he looked at me, "That means you have water, earth, air, and lightning element already?"
"And space," I answered nonchalantly, "I can barely count space as one of my affinities though. My control over it is so weak that I couldn't cast a space manipulation spell even if I wanted to."
Then I realized that Gideon had stopped talking, and was just staring at me.
"What?" I felt my brow crease as I stared at Gideon who stared back.
"Space is a magic element!" Gideon shouted.
I flinched away from the shout, "What?!"
"Space is a magic element," He said it again only quieter this time.
"One of the unnatural elements," I nodded slowly, "They're much harder to manipulate than the natural element, but they do exist."
"Tell me all of the elements," Gideon was excited.
"I don't know if I should," I felt my face pulling down into a frown.
"You can't just matter of factually ramble off an undiscovered element without telling me more," Gideon's eyes were practically sparkling at this point.
"I don't know much about the unnatural elements," I brought my face back to neutral, "I can only tell you they're names."
"That's enough for me," Gideon grabbed a sword off the wall, "Tell me their names while you're infusing this with whatever you did yesterday."
I took the sword from him, and turning so I could swing it experimentally.
"I need to activate the skill for first," I focused on the blade, "Circulating my mana through the weapon clears, and repairs the mana pathways. Then I can enhance it."
Gideon moved away from the target, "Fine. Then you'll tell me about the elements."
I activated the skill, and slashed. A blade a water was thrown from the tip of the blade as I swung it. The sword was able to throw three water blades before it ran out of mana. My mana rushed in. Repairing the mana channels, and filling the blade to the brim with my mana.
"Fine," I gripped midway down the blade so I was holding it from the handle, and the blade, "I'll tell you the names of the unnatural elements."
I answered yes to enhancing the weapon in my head, and the enhancement process began.
"Space, light, dark, gravity, and time," I felt my mana begin to drain into the blade.
This sword wasn't nearly as greedy as the gauntlets.
"Space, light, dark, gravity, and time," Gideon repeated the elements back to me.
"Yeah," I nodded as water formed around the blade, "You've got it."
"The possibilities of space, and time alone," Gideon was watching the blade more than me, "If space is an element then the portals?"
"Are mostly natural," I finished the thought for him.
Gideon stopped talking, and just stared off into space. The water faded from the blade after a few minutes in silence. I handed it back to Gideon, and left him lost in thought. Heading over to get food just like I originally planned. I ordered enough to make even the biggest eater jealous.
Everyone at the stand was surprised by how much I was able to eat. Some were even disgusted by my eating spree. I just ignored them, and thanked the cook before I left. Heading back to the arena now that I'd wasted a little over two hours. It was almost time for the final match, and I had to be getting close to my time limit.
System what are the chances of me getting backlash from my physical camouflage skill?
User has high proficiency in physical camouflage skill. Chance of backlash is relatively low. 15 to 35%.
Can you warn me before I suffer backlash?
No. System can not predict backlash. Only inform the user. User's body doesn't react to backlash until it is experiencing it.
What will happen to my body if I do get backlashed?
Spell backlash is typically expressed as pain and/or spell cancellation.
So there's a risk of me transforming back?
Yes.
If I transform back will it be like last time?
Yes. It should be similar.
I leaned over to Savannah, and expressed my transformation worries by relaying the information I'd got through the system as if it were my own knowledge.
"Do you think it's worth the risk?" Savannah asked.
