WonÆt that also damage the metal The woman who said strength asked
Again Randidly nodded But just like something is never truly invulnerable nothing is ever truly damaged beyond repair Now you should hurry so I donÆt move need to move onto the next stage before you even have refined your metal
Already the emerald liquid was frothing around the nuggets Randidly placed into them With pale faces the three assistants surged to work It was clear from their pained expressions that they were attempting to mimic RandidlyÆs casual motions
With that same small smile Randidly turned back to the camera An image gives purpose When that purpose in the metal resonates with the purpose of the piece of being equipment it is being forged into the benefits are strengthened Images associated with armor or weapons are relatively simple It is a much more abstract thing to have an image for the material
Not impossible obviously but less intuitive Honestly I would recommend trying to obtain images in other areas and then working on images with materials but we simply donÆt have time At that moment RandidlyÆs smile turned somewhat pained The world continues to spin no matter what we need But remember that need isnÆt useless Use that need as fuel Use it to warp the world around us It is only by growing beyond recognition that we can survive the future
It seemed like Randidly abruptly sensed something was amiss because Randidly tilted his head to the side In the administrative booth the silence had shifted to something full of confusion Even Vye couldnÆt really follow what Randidly was saying
Need isnÆt useless Use it to warp the world Vye wondered But more than his words Vye was fascinated by the feeling that he had created as he had spoken about those issues Every word had weight The air hummed with it It was that urgency and power which they had hitherto not seen from Randidly was what gave everyone pause
For just a moment he had seemed inhuman in his intensity His eyes were blazing lanterns of emerald light
I just what do I need And what would I warp to make it so Vye wondered Somehow the words started to lose their meaning in their place that wild determination and RandidlyÆs emerald eyes were all that remained
The question didnÆt matter what Vye was transfixed by was the attitude that let him ask such a ridiculous question Because there was not a hint of doubt in Randidly Ghosthound right now demonstrating before a couple of hundred people
This was what she had dreamed of without knowing she was dreaming That easy assurance that freedom
Vye wanted it so badly she couldnÆt breathe
Randidly grinned seemingly aware of the effect his words had Although he was just looking at a camera it was like he understood exactly how the group watching was reacting to what he said Too much too soon Well you all will see eventually Time has no mercy Anyway Helen demonstrate some images for these people so they donÆt assume IÆm crazy
Chapter 967
Randidly smiled softly as Helen conjured her image in front of the camera The thick waves of the Tides of Blood Domain appeared Although she will do what I ask itÆs very likely that she has no idea what is going on Although I explained that we are being observed it really seems like nothing on Tellus prepared her for a live stream
After a few seconds Helen turned back to Randidly The choppy crimson currents faded away Is this enough These shits are too weak to get anything out of further exposure
Sighing Randidly wondered briefly if there was a production team that could bleep out HelenÆs dismissive comments about the three best forgers in Erickson Steel Still it wasnÆt like Randidly didnÆt think Helen was right it was clear that the images that these three were exposed to left them bewildered rather than enlightened Further exposure might even be enough to inflict some mental damage on them
And part of the point of this exercise was helping these three forge even more successfully than they had in the past
Randidly was asking a lot of them by throwing out so much information in a very short span of time But he had to be quick And it wasnÆt like being mysterious and gradual with this information would aid them later It was only awkward now because this was their first experience with images But breaking through all of these firsts right at the onset would make their further development even more explosive and smooth
Finished Randidly finally said as he smiled at the three forgers torn between looking at Helen with shock and peering down at their own refined ore carefully Although he couldnÆt tell for sure from this distance his instinct was that any further and the damage to the ore would be rather substantial Plus this had dragged on for long enough already
Guilty the three nodded and used titanium tongs to remove the metal from the vat of his blood Then Randidly guided them over to the tray of shattered bones Casually Randidly removed five scoops and brought them over toward a furnace area
The man who responded flexibility raised his hand with a question These bones I can tell that they are from a powerful beast but shouldnÆt we be more discerning with what sort of traits we introduce into the alloy Now that all the different corpses are mixed up wonÆt we get an unpredictable result
Theoretically yes Randidly responded as he set his materials down on a work table next to his furnace Then he considered the three forgers It would be better to be able to get the bones of monsters that exemplify the images you wish to imbue in your metal That way the final result accomplishes your desired goal But let me ask you how well do you truly know the traits of monsters
The man blinked
Shrugging Randidly said You extrapolate based on what youÆve seen yes But isnÆt there much more to a monsterÆs information than the way it fought before it died You can study the tensile strength of its corpseÆs materials but that misses a lot
Randidly rapped loudly against the wooden worktable next to the furnace Take this table Can I sufficiently describe the tree it originated from by looking at a pile of the harvested wood Of course not I miss its height the way it flowers the shape of the leaves the radius of its roots And although those traits arenÆt very important in making a table it is very important to be aware of those concerns while crafting an image
Taking a few seconds for each individual Randidly studied the expressions on the forgerÆs faces I know that this is difficult to understand right now But believe me when I saw you will realize by the end how important this is We are crafting an image Images symbols and stories are an implicit part of the System
Classes shape you Paths shape you For the lucky ones Soulskills also shape you Then Randidly focused on the man who had asked the question If you could perfectly know which monster was the most creative the most willing to keep a flexible lifestyle then yes your point is correct But that knowledge is hard and time consuming So instead
For good measure touched each of his nuggets a second time reinforcing the image We will be refining these nuggets three times Ideally the image acts as a magnet and a beacon it draws the qualities that most closely matches its own deeper into its structure The stronger the image the stronger the attraction That way when we place the metal back in the weakening liquid the traits not associated with be toward the exterior those portions will be damaged and pulled away leaving only the harmonious bits
Rather casually Randidly threw the five nuggets and five handfuls of bones into the furnace He didnÆt even bother to turn it on While the three others watched with wide eyes Randidly conjured Ignition Essence and gathered his materials into five groupings Emerald flames gathered around the piles of materials in tight clusters Immediately the high heat of the Ignition Essence caused the materials to crack and warp
