The Dwarves gave a very incomprehensible adjective. However, in terms of practical usage, they were all magical materials, and there were different grades within them. Not every magic material could carry any kind of magic or rune. It was a matter of suitability and carrying capacity.
Gaia metal was a completely suitable magic material, and there was no magic that it could not carry. Including some legendary weapons, and even artifacts, most of them had a certain proportion of materials made of Gaia metal.
Especially when making magic puppets, it was used to accommodate summoned beings. As the core of controlling magic puppets, the top material was this Gaia metal.
During the Tower of the Great Sage period, there was a lot of money to spend, so they bought a lot of expensive magic materials. In the subsidiary chamber of commerce of the Sijia District branch, the Gaia metal, which was regarded as the treasure of the store, was bought by someone. The reason why it was not sold was not that the higher-ups of the chamber of commerce really wanted to keep this thing, but that no one could afford to buy or use it.
A part of it was used when building the core of the Arcane Eye of the Tower of the Great Sage. The rest was only the size of a fingernail and could not be made into anything big, but it seemed to come in handy now.
The three people around the campfire looked at someone's strange smile and felt inexplicable. But according to past experience, someone would always create something unexpected at this time. So they just quietly watched Lin take out some small enchanted props. These things that would be carried with him only had fairly simple functions, but they were difficult to replace.
Because Gaia metal was a magic material, it could be changed forever by shaping. But the details must be done quite carefully. In addition to a rather clever way of using magic, it must rely on the skills of the hands.
In order to simplify the production process, Lin first took a relatively large piece of magic metal. Because there was no need to consume it and it was only to be used as a mold, Lin did not think much about it. After softening the surface with shaping, he pressed the portrait part of the gold coin onto the surface of the metal ingot and left a rubbing. Then he put the softened Gaia metal into the mold and reshaped it.
The more difficult part was actually to make sure that the surface of the rubbing part was level, and the mold was level as well, so as to ensure that the thickness was the same. Fortunately, he didn't forget to make the level gauge. This thing was something that didn't exist in the mysterious land. Although the idea was simple, the structure was also simple. However, it wasn't something that could be used on the spur of the moment.
Because it was a spell, there was no cooldown. He flipped over the magic metal that was temporarily used as a mold and knocked it on the back. The Gaia metal that had been rubbed with the human figure fell out. Because it was a rough copy of the mold, there was no way to make it look exactly the same as the original coin.
Picking up the carving knife and hammer, Lin originally wanted to manually retouch the blurry figure on the Gaia Metal to make it look like the original. But after thinking about it for a while, he summoned Halloumi. The girl's skillful hands and artistic talent were much better than his.
This could be seen from the fact that Hallumi had made many pocket watches that were left behind in the academy. Before they left Wulian City, the Academy's Remembrance Pocket Watch was still priceless.
However, the girl who was called over looked at her teacher with some displeasure and asked, "You want to make evil money?"
In the words of Earth, evil money could almost be considered fake money, but sometimes it was made by the government. Faced with such a question, Lin was so angry that he laughed. He gave the girl a knock on the head and said, "Evil money is made by using metals of lower value and mixing them with precious metals. Think about how many bags of Kiel (gold coins) it would take to exchange for this little thing the size of a fingernail. This can't be used as evil money. "
"Oh." She pouted unhappily. It wasn't clear whether she disagreed with her teacher's explanation or was dissatisfied with being knocked on the head. In any case, Hallumi ran back to the car, found her tools, and prepared to act according to her teacher's instructions. However, after getting into position, before the hammer fell, she frowned and said, "It's so dark, I can't see clearly."
Looking around, Lin also realized that the brightness at night in the wilderness was indeed not suitable for such delicate work. However, this wasn't a big problem. If there was any magic in the mysterious land that he was good at, light magic would definitely be the first.
However, Lin didn't know how to use holy light or healing magic. This was entirely because ever since he entered the Tower of the Great Sage, his research was mainly focused on making star maps.
In order to make an accurate star map, he observed the subtle spectral changes of visible light, the accuracy of brightness, wavelength, and other data, plus the implementation of star map simulation and moving the basic perspective. It could be said that Lin used all the physical changes of light he knew to complete a complete set of theories and implementations with the magic of the mysterious land.
These studies focused on astronomy had a side benefit that he could control light and light magic as he wished. When he was in the Tower of the Great Sage, he could simulate the sunlight and kill the invading vampires in one fell swoop. Although there was no Magic Tower now, it wasn't too difficult to light a lamp for his own apprentices.
He picked up his usual wand, which was a wand made of magical metal. It was most often used … to block the enemy's swords and sabers. If he wanted to attack, he would usually use the longsword in his other hand. Marco Lin had pondered over Gandalf the White's posture for a long time. Mages couldn't be blamed for not doing their job properly. This kind of thing was normal in the mysterious land.
There was a small groove on the top of the wand and a small movable metal claw that could be installed with a standard magic stone. Of course, it could also be replaced or not installed. Generally speaking, Lin would install a blank Red Glory magic stone on top of the wand. When necessary, it could be used to power magic. When there was a need to write programs or store information, the magic stone could also be used as a carrier.
Right now, he was using the Illumination spell. The brightness was the standard frequency of sunlight during the day, which was also the brightness that the eyes were most used to.
The strange thing was that even without a lampshade, Lin could only project the light "line" in the area where Hallumi was going to work. It didn't spill to the side. In fact, this was a manifestation of the light being highly focused. Going one step further, it would be like the beam trap that was set in the Tower of the Great Sage.
Following the girl's instructions, Lin adjusted the brightness slightly. Because the general shape of the portrait had been made with a mold, Hallumi only needed to do the details. This small matter was quickly completed with her nimble hands. The portrait on the Gaia Metal was exactly the same as the one on the original gold coin.
Next, it was Lin's job. He took out the runestone that he had obtained from the dwarves not long ago — Sabha — and gave it to Shaylin. It was luck. The stone itself was also a magic material, which was why runes could be left on it without self-destructing.
Originally, to use the dwarven runes, there had to be corresponding runes and patterns in order to play a specific role. A single rune would also play a role, but it wouldn't be able to play the greatest role.
However, the rune of luck didn't have many uses, so there weren't many matching patterns, and its function wasn't what Lin wanted. Therefore, he could only engrave the rune of luck on the flat side of the Gaia Metal.
And the rune marks left by the small chisel were filled in by Lin with ground cobalt dust. This was considered to have completed the standard craftsmanship of the dwarven runes.
Then came the second difficulty, which was to cut the original gold coin in half. Moreover, after joining the half made of Gaia Metal, the cut part had to be as thick as the original gold coin, which was quite troublesome.
Although there was no vernier caliper, but how could someone who could measure astronomical distances be stumped by such a thing as precision? Using the Whiteboard Brush, which was actually a variant of Illuminate, Lin set the thickness of the original gold coin to be cut in half.
But in the process of cutting the gold coin, Lin scrapped several gold coins in a row. In the end, Fen, who couldn't stand it anymore, stepped in to help. She grabbed a special cutting knife, pulled the knife horizontally, and smoothly cut the gold coin in half. It could only be said that someone scored 100 points in theory, but failed in practice. There was really no way to refute this.
Picking up the dissected gold coin, Lin wanted to glue it together with the Gaia metal part. There were many ways to glue, but limited by the fact that he was in the wilderness and didn't have many belongings with him, he chose a very expensive method of gluing. That was to grind the magic material Star Sand into a finer powder and mix it with Infinity Water, which could be used as an adhesive between magic materials and ordinary materials.
But before gluing the two sides together, Lin put down the coin in his hand. After thinking for a moment, he mixed cobalt dust and dragon blood as ink, and at the same time took out the writing brush he made.
There was no writing brush in the bewildering land, and he wasn't a professional craftsman, so Lin Xiang went through a lot of hardships to make a qualified writing brush. However, after being in the bewildering land for such a long time, he still managed to create a few that he was satisfied with. As for why he made this kind of thing, it could be considered as a remembrance of Earth.
Lin, who practiced calligraphy for a while, didn't dare to say that his writing was very good, but at least he could tell what kind of characters it was. So he dipped the tip of the pen in ink, picked up the ordinary half of the coin, aimed at the smooth mirror-like back, and wrote Chinese characters:
Ancient Spearman Lucky E
I am one level higher than Spearman
… Well, maybe it wasn't all Chinese characters, but some were mixed in with English.
Because the coin was very small, and Lin wasn't good at writing, these 14 characters were written in the same position. At the end of the writing, the surface of the coin was already a mess, and nothing could be recognized.
And the reason he wrote this paragraph was because the other side of luck was bad luck, and it wasn't surprising that the two were closely related. Lin didn't need good luck, or rather, he didn't want to let a magic tool squander his good luck. When he was on Earth, all his deeds were forged by the blood and tears of his wallet.
Therefore, what Lin Li wanted was not a magical item that could bring him good luck, but a magical item that could help him avoid making the worst choice.
But unfortunately, he didn't know how to do this kind of request, so he used a method similar to a prayer, and wrote his inexplicable prayer on the other half of the coin. It didn't have to be the best, as long as it wasn't the worst.
After all this was done, he glued the half of the coin and the Gaia metal together. Then he used the method of melting to remove the traces of the joint on the round edges.
At this point, Lin finally completed a lucky coin with human heads on both sides …
Lich and the two apprentices didn't have anything to say about Lin's handiwork and idea. But what was the point of creating a coin with the same face on both sides?
But at this time, Lin just smiled proudly and admired his creation.
Suddenly, with a snap of his finger, Lin flicked the special gold coin into the air, and it made a crisp sound. When it landed in front of him, he grabbed it with his right hand and patted it on the back of his left hand. He smiled happily and asked the other three, "Come, guess, is it a human head or words?"
