Chapter 325: Trinity Armour Crafting Technique
The reason Dark chose to start with a skirt was certainly not because he liked it.
It was because he was serious about the promise he made.
In the duel with Senior Elvis Kevin, he promised Sylveon that he would find a way to make an outfit for it after he learned how to craft an armour.
Although armour cards had limited functions when used on a magical spirit, Dark reckoned that in any case, making a proper armour, which would have a high magic energy consumption, wasn't sothing he could do with his current level.
If he could sohow piece together an armour that was slightly more useful than a [dress-up card], it would already be considered great luck.
In short, since it was only his first attempt, it didn't really matter what kind of armour he chose to make.
……
Using the skirt in 《Elven Craftsmanship—Wood Carving》 as a reference, Dark picked out a piece of wood from his storage box and started carving.
In fact, carving a skirt that wasn't overly detailed wouldn't be too hard.
The main difficulty lay in hollowing the inner part.
For beginners, internal carving and external carving were of two different levels of difficulty.
But Dark had already thought of an idea when he was learning to carve the human figure.
The carving of objects that needed to be hollowed out could be easily simplified by implenting the technique of modularization.
In other words, divide the skirt into two or four parts and carve out joints that could be assembled at the intersection of each part.
Once the various parts were all carved and then assembled together, it would beco a complete skirt!
By using this thod, he wouldn't have to do any internal carving.
Moreover, this was also the basic principle for armour making.
It took Dark nearly an hour to finish carving the skirt.
The skirt he used as reference was a lace skirt, but his final product had no lace at all…
Nevertheless, he continued to carve the vest and the bracelet.
Because the wooden figure he used as a model was about 30 cm tall, the corresponding skirt, vest and bracelet were also small in size.
At around nine o'clock, after a brief thought, Dark carved an additional sunhat.
After putting the sunhat on the wooden figure's head, the full outfit was finally completed!
Even though it was unpainted, it still looked quite impressive.
Dark looked up to check the ti.
"Half past nine… there's still so ti."
Thus, he put away his carving tools and materials and prepared to make his first attempt at Trinity Armour crafting technique!
……
The Trinity Armour crafting magic circle invented by Alvette placed a great importance in the triple combination of spirit, magic energy, and items. Only clothings or weapons created with one's own hands could be crafted into armour cards.
However, there was no specific requirent for the clothings or weapons themselves.
The catch was that except for so special types, the size of the items that had been successfully crafted could only be altered in a small range.
So even if Dark successfully crafted the set of clothes in his hand into an armour card, there was no way for Sylveon to wear it for the ti being.
But that was fine. He could just make one that would fit later on.
……
Armour type magic card, as well as equipnt card and weapon card, were all subdivisions of item card.
Generally, there were two ways to make this type of magic card.
One was to craft a ready-made item into an item card through magic crafting, and the other was to use raw materials to directly craft the item, just like casting a weapon!
Dark had previously used the second thod to craft [Energy Potion] by pouring the raw materials of the potion—a blend of White Wood Fruits and Blue Fruits juice—into crafting magic circle no. 3, obtaining an [Energy Potion] card as the final product.
But Alvette's Trinity Armour crafting technique was more inclined to the first thod.
The core of the crafting process was the ready-made "armour".
Moreover, what made the Trinity Armour crafting technique completely different from the usual item card crafting thod was that it had very high requirents for the application of spiritual power and magic energy, yet relatively low requirents for the auxiliary materials.
Self-made "armour" as the core, one's spiritual power as the furnace, and magic energy as the fuel—this triple combination made up the Trinity Armour crafting technique!
Conceptually, Dark found it a little similar to the crafting thod in cultivation stories, which seed rather out of tune with the setting of this world.
Although the [Trinity Armour crafting magic circle] was only regarded as the prototype for crafting magic circle no. 99, [Alvette's crafting magic circle], the difficulty of this so-called rudintary technique was extrely high.
The requirents in quality and control of both spiritual power and magic energy were like two formidable mountains.
Based on Dark's understanding, the difficulty of the Trinity Armour crafting technique should lie between the crafting of the [Fusion] card and the [Zoo] card.
Under normal circumstances, it was actually almost impossible for him to successfully master the Trinity Armour crafting technique without anyone's guidance.
But fortunately, this crafting thod was especially compatible with him!
He had a high degree of confidence in both his control of spiritual power and the capacity and quality of his magic energy.
His only shortcoming, on the contrary, had been the self-made item which others considered to be the easiest aspect of the three.
……
Now that he had slightly improved this shortcoming, he was more or less ready for his first attempt at Trinity Armour crafting technique.
He had already prepared all the required materials just the day before.
It could be said that aside from the key elent, everything else was all ready!
……
Glug glug glug.
At last, after handing over the glass of apple juice he had finished drinking to DemiDevimon, Dark started on his first attempt.
Understandably, as sothing Alvette created in her student days, the special feature of the Trinity Armour crafting technique mainly lay in the later stage, which began when the [Trinity Armour crafting magic circle] was to be inscribed.
In the early stage, it basically used the common crafting thod of [equipnt card].
Similar to [Magical Language], the common crafting thod of [equipnt card] was sothing only taught in the second year.
But textbooks on the subject were all over the library, so it all depended on whether one really wanted to learn it and whether one was capable of learning it.
Evidently, Dark fell into the category of people who managed to learn it.
Moreover, the common crafting thod of [equipnt card] was just a technique, so it wasn't as complicated as [Magical Language].
According to the steps in his mory, he made sure to handle all the necessary materials before separating them into different categories. Then, he began to brew the potion.
The main ingredient used for this was a special potion called [Red Spider Lily(曼珠沙华)]
"Red Spider Lily" was a bright red flower that, in the myth, blood in the realm of the underworld.
As the dead wandered in the emptiness of the underworld, they would occasionally co across a splash of red.
The mont they ca closer, the Red Spider Lily would magically transform into their greatest desire, their strongest yearning, and their most unreachable dream, trapping them in an illusion as it ate away at them.
The reason the potion [Red Spider Lily] was nad after the flower was naturally because it also had the effect of "Magical Transformation".
In the eyes of ordinary people, many things related to magic technology were regarded as taboos.
A potion like the [Red Spider Lily] belonged to the ultimate contraband goods.
However, in the field of magister, it was one of the most commonly used potions.
Equipnt cards, weapon cards, and even field spell cards like [Zoo] required the use of [Red Spider Lily] to build its base.
