With this in mind, Angor quickly came up with an idea.
A mechanical prosthesis could not only be used for temporary transplants, but he could also try to enchant the prosthesis. If he followed this train of thought, the prosthesis could be used as an alchemy weapon.
However, creating an alchemy weapon in the shape of a prosthesis for Nausica was not a difficult task. The problem was how to make Nausica control the weapon as if it was her own arm.
Construct a mana channel? Artificial meridian bridges? Or spirit control? Electromyographic signals? Brain waves? Sound waves?
This was a problem that required further research. He also needed Nausica's cooperation to find out the most effective method.
Angor considered and told her his idea. "You don't have to go for an organ transplant right now. What do you think about creating an artificial mechanical arm?"
"Man-made mechanical arm?" Sailum and Nausica were both surprised. They did not understand what Angor was talking about. They knew about mechanical arms and mechanical arms separately, but they did not know what he meant when they were combined.
He did not know how to express it in words, so he took out his sketchbook and drew Nausica's beautiful curves on the paper in front of the other two.
Nausica raised an eyebrow. "You didn't even look at me, and you're almost done."
Angor thought Nausica was praising his drawing skills. He was already thinking of a way to show off. However, Nausica suddenly asked, "So, Angor, are you secretly in love with me?"
Hearing the question, Angor's brush suddenly stopped. A black line went through the painting and ruined the overall beauty of the painting.
"Don't be shy. Many people loved me back when I was running my Blackberry. You're not one of them." Nausica patted Angor's shoulder. "Too bad you're too small. You're as thin as a yellow bean sprout. I don't like you. "
"Nausica's right. You've lost a lot of weight lately. We'll have a housewarming party tonight. You can come and eat," Dave interrupted.
Angor rolled his eyes in annoyance. "Don't go off topic. Can't you see I'm trying to help you?" Angor was not worried at all.
Nausica chuckled and blew out the last smoke ring. She extinguished her pipe and put it aside.
Two minutes later, Angor finished drawing Nausica's figure. He didn't draw anything on her right arm though. "The mechanical arm I'm talking about is a type of mechanical alchemy. It's not uncommon to see machines replacing human organs in Floating Mech City. That's why I came up with this idea."
While speaking, Angor drew a "mechanical prosthesis". However, Angor's drawing was only a general idea. If they really wanted to build it, they would need to discuss the details.
A moment later, he finished drawing a majestic blue and white mecha's arm.
"That's the general idea. We'll use a machine as a temporary replacement. When you find a suitable organ, you can remove it. What do you think? If you're okay with it, we can talk about more details, such as the appearance, enchantment, and so on. "
Nausica was both surprised and touched by Angor's words. Angor had already taken the matter into his own hands.
Angor didn't mind it. Nausica saved his life and was his close friend. He didn't want to treat her as an outsider.
"If I follow the blueprint, I'll need … a lot of magic crystals, right?" Nausica hesitated. She wasn't sure if she should accept Angor's offer.
"I just drew it for fun. It's up to you to decide how you want to make it. You don't have to worry about the cost. Not to mention that your endurance is at most in the range of beginner materials, even I can't smelt intermediate or advanced materials, so it won't cost me many magic crystals. Even so, you'll have to pay for the materials yourself. I can make it for you for free. "Angor smiled brightly.
Nausica was still hesitating. She knew that materials weren't expensive, but alchemy items were expensive because of the person who made them.
Angor saw that Nausica was still hesitating, so he continued to talk about the mechanical arm.
"I've been studying alchemy for less than half a year. With my current level, it's impossible for me to make a powerful artificial arm. Besides, it's just a random idea. I've never made one before, so my artificial arm can only be used as a temporary replacement. You can replace it when you find a more suitable organ.
"I'm thinking about installing the arm first. It'll help you a lot when you're doing quests or climbing the Sky Tower."
Nausica clenched her fists. If she wanted to go further and achieve immortality, she had to build a solid foundation. The purification garden in Floating Mech City was one of the best Sorcerer's Gardens for that. Even Fantase didn't deny it.
"Thank you." Nausica finally nodded and accepted Angor's kindness.
Sailum did not pay attention to the interaction between Angor and Nausica. His eyes were fixed on the mech arm in the sketchbook, and he kept exclaiming "cool" and "awesome". He only regained his senses when Nausica agreed to install the arm. He looked at Nausica with envy. "That arm is so cool! I'm so jealous when I think about Miss Nausica wearing it all the time!"
Angor teased him, "Sure, I can make one for you too. Then I'll chop off your hands or feet myself."
When Sailum heard that his hands and feet were going to be chopped off, he immediately backed off.
Since Nausica agreed, Angor began to arrange a time for the meeting. "I have something urgent to attend to in the next half a month, so I won't have time for your arm. Come to my place in half a month, and I'll discuss the details with you, such as the appearance, data, materials, enchantments, and so on. It's my first time making an artificial arm like this, so I need more reference data, as well as the thoughts and feelings of some of the users. "
In the next half a month, Angor planned to prioritize Twilight's debt and put the other matters aside. As for Sunders' debt, Angor decided to delay it. If he couldn't delay it … he had to do it even if he had to.
Now that the mechanical prosthetic limb had been decided, the conversation between the three of them was no longer as heavy as before. As the atmosphere gradually warmed up, they talked about gossip among their peers, the Moonfrost Passage, the Abyssal Plane, and Twilight Well.
"By the way, are you going to Twilight Auction to buy something? Are you going to bid? "Angor asked casually.
"No." Sailum remained silent and looked at Nausica with a pleading look.
Nausica lowered her head. She didn't expose Sailum's lie. Sailum bought the Azure Bloodline, which carried great risks. He didn't want Angor to know about it because he didn't want Angor to worry about it. She also understood this point.
Angor didn't pay attention to Sailum's expression, nor did he notice the strange atmosphere.
Sailum didn't want Angor to keep talking about it, so he quickly changed the topic. "Angor, did you see that item in the inner hall? It's a music box. I think it's called 'Land on the Clouds' or something. That music box … I only saw the screen outside, and I also thought the illusion and music worked so well together. "
…
They chatted until the sun rose, then said goodbye to each other and left.
Before leaving, Sailum waved at Angor. "Remember to come for dinner tonight. Let's celebrate Nausica and I moving to our new home!"
After making sure Angor nodded, Sailum went home.
Tree Spirit seemed to be in a good mood today. Most of the large leaves were collected, and the bright sunlight shone directly on the ground. Sailum and Nausica's figures under the sunlight were filled with youth and passion. The contagious cheerfulness seemed to have a magic power that tore apart the haze in Angor's mind and scattered a wisp of warmth.
Angor stretched himself and walked to the basement while feeling refreshed.
He sat in front of his lab table and took out a pen and paper. He made a list of the items he needed to craft in the near future.
His first task was to pay off his debt. However, he still needed to find out how to pay off the debt. At least, he needed to know the value of the enchantment for "Prelude to Elimination". However, according to the rune enchantment, an alchemy item enchanted with a magic array would not be cheap.
To complete "Prelude to Elimination", he had to create an Energy Stabilizer. Otherwise, he would not be able to complete the enchantment without enough mana.
With that in mind, Angor wrote down the first line of words. "Energy Stabilizer" was at the top of the list.
Next was an alchemy weapon enchanted with "Prelude to Elimination". This was what he promised Master Prome. Angor also planned to make some money by engraving the magic array.
Next was a "space item". He collected a lot of microbes from the greyspace wall, and space items were expensive. He could use them to pay off his debt. However, he needed to study them for a while, so he had to put them at the top of the list.
Next was a mechanical prosthetic arm for Nausica. He could start work on it in half a month.
Lastly, there was a music box for Lady Mirror, a vehicle, and a robe that could protect her from prying eyes.
Angor considered and added a "music box" under the Energy Stabilizer. This was for Toby. Due to the debt, he did not have time to find Toby's "betrayer friend". He had to wait until the debt was cleared. Before that, he would craft a music box for Toby.
