Vientiane Throne of Civilization

Chapter 1041 Enchantment Problem
Looking at the blade that was emitting high temperature, Zhou Xu tried to move his hand closer. Before he got completely close, he could already feel the astonishingly high temperature emanating from the blade from a distance.

At the same time, Li Gan beside him couldn't help but remind him...

"Your Majesty, be careful! Do not touch it with your hands!"

As the director of the forging department, Li Gan deals with various hot metals all day long.

It is no exaggeration to say that he can now tell how high the temperature of the blade is just by taking a glance at it.

If you get hit by this, your skin and flesh will be burned instantly!
At this moment, the high temperature of the blade also made Zhou Xu roughly realize that the reason why the power of this slash was so much stronger was not only because of the "fire attack" attached to the attack.

At the same time, because in the process of triggering the 'fire attack', the blazing flames wrapped around the blade, causing the temperature of the blade to rise rapidly, making the red flame sword in his hand transform into a thermal energy sword effect, and wielding an astonishing high-temperature slash!
Zhou Xu told Li Gan about this idea, and Li Gan said after a moment of hesitation...

"If it was just the flame burning, the temperature of the blade wouldn't rise so quickly. This effect probably occurs because after adding the fire crystal, the metal itself has a stronger ability to store and absorb heat."

Li Gan noticed this when he was forging, but he didn't take it seriously before.

It was not until the appearance of this "fire attack" and their Majesty mentioned this point again that Li Gan started talking.

I have to say, this is undoubtedly another important discovery.
During the discussion, Zhou Xu organized his thoughts and then tried to swing the knife for the second time.

Unfortunately, the power contained in the red flame sword has been exhausted, and it is impossible to form a second flaming slash.

While this made Zhou Xu feel a little regretful, he also quickly discovered a problem.

That is, after this red flame sword has been enchanted, once it is drawn out and used to attack, it will automatically trigger the Flame Slash.

This Fiery Slash will instantly drain all the power contained in the sword. After one strike, the Red Flame Sword will lose all the enchanted effects and will completely become an ordinary metal sword before the power is restored.

As his thoughts raced, Zhou Xu's sight fell on the charred wooden stake in front of him.

The armor wrapped around the wooden stake had been completely cut off, and the cut mark left on the wooden stake was even deeper than that left by the Red Flame Sword which had not been enchanted with fire before, and it almost cut the entire wooden stake in half!
Because the entire blade was at high temperature, the deep cut on the wooden stake now appeared charred.

It must be said that this red flame sword enchanted with fire really brought him great surprises.

At this moment, Zhou Xu felt mixed emotions.

The good news is that the power of the Red Flame Saber has been further enhanced.

The worry is that the power can only last for one strike.

What's even more troublesome is that this knife is uncontrollable. As long as you swing the knife, it will be triggered immediately.

This situation gave Zhou Xu a headache.

If it was a problem with weapon forging, Zhou Xu could let Li Gan figure it out, but now regarding the problem of the enchantment effect, looking at the entire Great Zhou, only he could figure it out himself.

[Perhaps a 'switch' can be added to the triggering form of the 'flame attack'. For example, a specific mantra can be used to trigger the 'program' to trigger the 'flame attack'. Under normal circumstances, it is no different from a red flame sword with a 'basic weapon blessing'...]

Although Zhou Xu had a beautiful idea in his mind at the moment, how should he put it into practice?
He had no clue...

Although he compared the mantra to a program, it was just an example for easier understanding. It does not mean that it is a real program that you can write entirely by yourself.

To put it bluntly, Zhou Xu's current situation still relies on the combination of existing mantras.

The reason why he could add 'Fire Attack' into it was because there was a corresponding module in the 'Basic Weapon Blessing'. He only needed to apply this module and let 'Fire Attack' enter the cycle.

However, "Basic Weapon Blessing" can be said to be a very basic passive blessing mantra. In other words, it does not require any active triggering means, so there is no related setting for Zhou Xu to apply. If he wants to get a similar module, Zhou Xu actually knows where to find it.

That is the class of 'Dragon Lord'!

This can be said to be the most complex combination of mantras he has. In order to combine this class, various complex mantra modules must be connected in series.

But in contrast, the difficulty of research has also increased exponentially.

Just thinking about it, Zhou Xu's head started to hurt.

But he also knew in his heart that if he wanted to improve, research on the 'Dragon Lord' was inevitable.

Thinking of this, Zhou Xu also strengthened his determination.

However, research like this certainly cannot be completed in a short period of time, and Zhou Xu is well aware of this.

Putting that problem aside, the effect of the fire enchantment is unquestionable, and it can even be used as a killer move for the troops at certain critical moments.

It would be a pity to leave it unused.

Under this premise, the simplest way is to equip them with two swords.

One is enchanted with fire, and the other is just enchanted with basic enchantments.

This enchanted weapon was originally intended to be equipped to the Xianzhen Camp. As the ace force of the Great Zhou, they deserve two enchanted swords.

After this matter was arranged, the new enchanted version of the Red Flame Saber was officially put into production.

During this period, Zhou Xu did not forget to visit the Enchanting Department and hand over the latest copies of the fire enchantment to the members of the Enchanting Department.

Since the 'Basic Weapon Blessing' itself is 'replicable', the fire enchantment improved on this basis naturally also meets this condition.

Compared with the basic enchantment, the cost of performing a fire enchantment is twice as much.

Obviously, the "fire attack" on the red flame sword cannot be released casually.

Fortunately, at this stage, the number of Red Flame Sabers that need to be enchanted with flames is not large.

Coupled with the production and transportation issues of fire crystals, the work pressure in the enchantment department is not too great.

Of course, in the future, if the intensity of related work increases further, the enchantment department will have to expand its staff if it wants to keep up with the efficiency.

However, there are very few people who are suitable for this kind of related work.

It's not just the enchantment department, there are also departments like the population registration department that need to frequently use mantras in daily work. It's not easy to expand the staff.

Although the human population is large, only a few possess spiritual gifts.

The elves naturally meet this requirement, but their population is small and their population growth efficiency is low.

Basically, at this point, Zhou Xu himself didn't have any better solution.

In the end, one can only accept the decrease in work efficiency, which is itself a very helpless thing.
