Chapter 324 Joan's Magic Eye (Ⅰ)
The four teachers and students quarreled for a while as usual. Afterwards, Master Rawls knocked on the table to signal silence, and asked the students about the completion of their final homework this semester.
Leiden Academy's arcane major has a final test every semester, which is divided into two parts: thesis and experiment.
Joan, Edward, and Thomas all got full marks for their thesis assignments without any suspense.
As for the experimental operation part, there are no specific exam questions, only the students are required to complete all the enchanting crafts of a low-level magic tool independently, and the instructor will score according to the final results.
Both Thomas and Edward intend to make a wand, which is the most common choice among arcane third-year students.
A magic wand that can be charged automatically is definitely a powerful weapon for low-level mages!
After all, low-level mages have very few spell slots, and their battery life is very poor. Having a wand in hand can greatly make up for this shortcoming.
Edward plans to make a "Missile Wand", while Thomas plans to create a "Weakness Wand". The difference is that the former can launch a ring of "Magic Missile", which is more aggressive, while the latter can release a ring of "Weakness Ray". Focus on weakening the enemy.
Most of the works of the two have been completed. According to the current work progress, the wand will be completed in early August.
A week later, the test results were released, and the summer vacation officially started on August 10th, until October 1st, when the school returned to school.
Joan's situation is slightly different from Thomas or Edward's.
With the help of "Mythical Power" and "Tears of God", he can still cast spells after exhausting his daily spell slots. The endurance of spells is much stronger than that of ordinary level 3 mages, so there is no urgent need for a wand.
The "secondary gorgeous belt" that was completed yesterday was his final design for this semester.
Master Rawls was very satisfied after the review, so in the next time, Joan can do his own private work in the laboratory.
Doing private work is not something glorious after all.
In front of her tutor and classmates, Qiao An didn't want to enchant her "prosthetic eye", so she first returned the 10 ounces of magic crystal that she owed on credit.
He still has 8 ounces of magic crystals left in his hand, deducting the 2 ounces reserved for the enchanted prosthetic eye, the remaining 6 ounces of magic crystals are just enough for him to modify the "sports belt".
Qiao An's idea is to upgrade the "sports belt" on the basis of retaining the original functions, and increase the total attribute +2, that is, to make the "sports belt" have the function of "secondary gorgeous belt".
Since the "sports belt" has already been enchanted with the three spells of "power of the bull", "grace of the cat" and "toughness of the bear", Joan only needs to enchant "cunning of the fox", "wisdom of the owl" and "smartness of the eagle". "The Majesty" is enough, and it takes 6 ounces of magic crystals for this.
In addition, he also needs to slightly adjust the configuration of the above-mentioned spells to achieve the purpose of improving the attributes without hindering the original functions, which requires a lot of time and energy.
According to Joan's schedule, this huge project will not be completed until early August.
Considering that the summer vacation starts on August 10th, he has to hurry up.
Joan buried himself in his work and did not complete the first phase of the upgrading project of the "sports belt" until the afternoon.
At this time, Instructor Rawls had already left the laboratory, and Thomas and Edward had finished their homework for the day and went to the gymnasium to "make an appointment".
Joan stood in the silent experiment hall, feeling a little tired, so he poured himself a cup of warm water, summoned the "Tears of God" and soaked it in the cup, consumed the energy of this artifact, and transformed it into a cup to relieve fatigue The potion, drank it.
Potions can only relieve fatigue and cannot replace food.
Joan drank a glass of water, and his stomach growled even more. Only then did he realize that he was obsessed with enchanting experiments and missed lunch.
Joan wanted to go to the cafeteria to fill his stomach, but turned back when he walked to the door of the laboratory.
There was about an hour before the cafeteria started, and he didn't want to waste this precious time waiting in front of the cafeteria.
If you are hungry and it is not easy to go to the gym to exercise, you might as well persist and finish the "prosthetic eye" enchanting project while there is no one else in the laboratory.
Joan returned to her operating table, opened the drawer, took out tweezers, hemostatic forceps, lancet and other surgical instruments, and took out a mirror and placed it on the table.
He first cast a spell to sterilize the equipment, then held tweezers in his left hand and pliers in his right, facing the mirror, trying to take out the "prosthetic eye" embedded in his right eye socket.
The prosthetic eye was tightly plugged and seemed to be glued together with the flesh and blood in the eye socket.
Joan fiddled with it for a while, but couldn't get it out. Instead, it hurt the nerves around the eye sockets, twitching and stinging.
Joan was so angry that he dropped the tweezers and pliers, thinking, this is even more troublesome than when he pulled out the real eye himself!
The irritability prompted him to develop an inexplicable ferocity, picked up the scalpel, and wanted to dig out the "prosthetic eye"!
Yet his rationality prevailed in the end.
Considering that such recklessness would inevitably leave a scar near the right eye, and it would be difficult to explain it when people saw it, he took a deep breath, suppressed his irritability, and forced himself to put down the scalpel.
He stood in front of the test bench, staring at his hostile face in the mirror and meditating, finally came up with a good way to enchant the "prosthetic eye" without removing it.
Thinking of this, the corners of the lips of the fair and handsome face in the mirror rose slightly, and the fierce and surly expression disappeared.
Joan opened the spell-casting material package, took out a small stalk of the eye, and cast the "transformation technique" to become an "eye of insight".
The meatball-like body is suspended above the experimental table, and the four eye stalks stretch out like arms.
Facing the mirror, Joan blinked the huge dominant eye in the center of his body.
Probably because of habit, the more I look at it, the more I feel that my beholder form is actually quite handsome.
He moved the fourth eye stalk in front of him, and looked down at the "secondary eye" that was inlaid at the end of the eye stalk and protruded upwards.
This eyeball is a circle smaller than the other three normal auxiliary eyes, and it maintains the shape that the "prosthetic eye" should have. It is difficult to detect this slight abnormality without looking carefully.
Turning into the form of a beholder, Joan's prosthetic eye was transferred from the face to the end of the eye stem, and then it was convenient to enchant it.
Joan manipulated the other three eye stems to act as tentacles at the same time, one eye stem opened the drawer, and the other two eye stems took out the ink bottle and quill pen from it and placed them on the table.
Joan then manipulated an eye stalk to wrap the pen holder, dipped it in ink, and then drew the No. 6 rune Ken on the prosthetic eye.
After all, eye stems are not as flexible as fingers, and writing is a bit stiff.
Fortunately, Joan was so proficient at the twenty-four runes that he could draw them with his eyes closed. It took a little time to complete this step.
Writing on one's own eyeballs, this kind of behavior seems a bit abnormal...
Fortunately, the prosthetic eye has no nerves, and Qiao An doesn't feel anything special. It's almost like a girl applying nail polish herself?
