How come this arcanist is invincible?

Chapter 57 Wind Dance Technique

The experience bar began to slowly decrease.

In Kane's eyes, the panel data began to change and fluctuate.

[Note: Your secondary profession has been changed to "Alchemy Apprentice" (Level 1)]

[Attribute Bonus: Intelligence +2, 1 Skill Point]

[Skill Unlocked: "Tool Proficiency" has been mastered, and the Alchemy Knowledge Tree is now activated]

[Characteristic Acquisition: "Substance Identification (Basic)"]

After the panel was updated, Kane sensed something and looked at the scimitar on the table.

He reached out and touched the blade; sure enough, a new line of text appeared next to the item's attributes:

[Has the substance been identified?]

"Yes."

[Test complete. You have successfully identified the substance.]

Kane read the displayed text aloud in a low voice:

"Cold Iron is formed in dark regions... Its holder will be continuously corroded by cold air and gradually develop symptoms of cold intolerance."

"Yes... good enchantment properties, moderate metal strength..."

After seeing this information, Kane's mind became clear.

"With 'Material Identification,' the difficulty of crafting enchanted equipment will be greatly reduced in the future."

"Perhaps I can try it now..."

……

Kane made a decision quickly.

The following day, he arrived at the Night's Watch headquarters on time.

After completing the routine procedures, he re-entered the underground area.

They found the dwarven craftsman and proposed the idea of ​​remelting and reforging the Frostbite Scimitar.

Although the dwarven craftsman regretted the original sword's enchanted base, he readily agreed.

Three days later, Kane received the reforged scimitar.

The appearance and properties are not much different from before, except that the handle is covered with a layer of other metal to protect the holder from the cold.

After thanking him, Kane put the scimitar back into its box and headed towards the Alchemy Workshop area.

Inside that nameless little shop, Kane handed the prepared gift to Zeya, then thanked Lady Weaver:

"Madam, thank you for introducing me to Master Lucien..."

He bowed respectfully.

Lady Weaver glanced at the gift, her tone indifferent:

"It's only been three days of training. Lucien mentioned to me that you are very talented."

"If you'd like, he can help you get a job in the area where the mage tower is located."

Kane was indeed tempted for a moment, but ultimately shook his head.

It would indeed be very safe to be stationed in the Mage Tower area.

However, without accumulating merit through missions, he will acquire new spells at a slower pace.

Seeing his refusal, Lady Weaver snorted and her wrinkled face showed impatience.

Kane hesitated for a moment, then spoke:

"Madam, I would like to rent the enchanting room in the shop."

"10 gold coins".

That's really expensive.

It's much more expensive than the pharmacy room we rented last time.

Kane winced with heartache, but still agreed.

He knew in his heart that his refusal of the other party's kindness would inevitably displease Ms. Zhiwu.

Consider these ten gold coins as a "rip-off fee" to appease the other party.

Fortunately, the mage Lucien only charged 100 gold coins for three days of tuition, otherwise he really wouldn't have been able to afford the rent for the enchanting room.

Seeing Kane pay so readily, Lady Mist's expression softened slightly.

But as she watched him walk up to the enchanting room on the second floor, her expression changed again, a hint of mockery flashing in her eyes.

"Kid, do you think enchanting is child's play?"

"You dare to act after only three days of learning... Besides, how many enchantments can your mental strength sustain?"

"But it's good that you've suffered a bit, so you won't always be so unrealistic."

Noticing Zeya unwrapping her gift, Lady Weaver coughed twice:

"Zeya".

"teacher……"

"I've found a solution to your problem of eating raw meat."

Upon hearing this, Zeya's face immediately lit up with joy.

……

Inside the enchanting room.

Kane placed the box on the table and took out the reforged scimitar.

After being reforged, the blade was completely stripped of the "Frostbite" enchantment, and its style became simple and unadorned.

It is closer to the ruggedness of the Nord scimitar, lacking the intricate aesthetic craftsmanship of the Drow elves.

He placed the scimitar on the enchanting table.

The blade is forged from cold iron from the Darklands, making it highly resistant to enchantments related to water, cold, and necromancy.

However, it performs poorly with other attributes, and is especially unsuitable for enchantments of light and fire.

Kane calmed himself down, pondered for a moment, and then began to follow the enchanting procedure he had learned.

He first lit a wisp of specially made incense, then ground pigeon feathers into powder.

After being mixed with water, it adheres to a quill pen, creating a simple "wind pen".

Then, holding the Wind Pen, he slowly drew the simple runes of "Wind Dance" on the enchantment nodes of the curved blade.

At the same time, he guided the surrounding ethereal energy in an attempt to construct a stable spell mark.

In his perception, the surrounding etheric energy was gradually converging and solidifying towards the blade.

"Is it going to succeed...?"

Kane was fully focused and proceeded step by step.

As time passed, Kane felt his mental energy was greatly depleted, and he even secretly used his immortality to recover.

Just as the immortality trait was used for the second time, the spell mark finally began to condense.

Runes of the Wind Dance Technique gradually took shape on the blade.

A curved sword engraved with the magic trick "Dancing Wind" was thus completed.

"Indeed, investing all skill points into 'Enchantment Basics' to level 10 was the right choice."

"If it is used to improve the Cloud Mist Technique or revitalize corpses, not only will the skill points be consumed more, but it will also not be able to directly improve combat power in the short term."

Kane raised his scimitar, clearly sensing the faint magical markings on the blade and the slowly flowing aetheric energy within it.

With a thought, he suddenly swung his sword and slashed out!

A sharp whistling sound suddenly rang out, and the wind around the blade suddenly intensified!

Kane's face lit up with joy.

"As expected, the Wind Dance Technique is more suitable for me than the Frostbite Technique, which relies on the external environment."

"When using the Wind Dance Technique, use your mind to guide the airflow towards both sides of the blade, reducing wind resistance and greatly increasing the speed of your sword swings!"

"During combat, changing the speed and frequency of your attacks might allow you to catch your opponent off guard by suddenly increasing your speed."

"Perhaps it's time to find someone to test the knife on."

As he pondered, he subconsciously swung his sword again, sensing the change in the wind, and felt quite satisfied.

As he was thinking, he casually waved his hand again, feeling the wind and nodding in satisfaction.

But then a sharp "bang" suddenly rang out!

Kane looked in the direction of the sound.

On a nearby table, a ceramic cup was swept to the ground and shattered by the airflow generated by the Wind Dance Technique.

Kane's lips twitched violently.

If he remembered correctly, this ceramic cup was Lady Mistweaver's most treasured possession, and he didn't know why it had ended up in the enchanting room.

"This is troublesome."

He was speechless for a moment, and at the same time felt sorry for his wallet.

In Nord, ceramic cups from the East are extremely rare treasures and are quite valuable.

……

As expected, upon seeing the ceramic shards scattered on the ground, Ms. Weaving Mist's face instantly darkened.

But when Kane offered compensation, she waved her hand and said coldly:

"Bring me your scimitar so I can take a look."

Kane didn't hesitate and handed over the scimitar.

As Lady Mistweaver touched the blade with her fingertips, she clearly felt the solidified Wind Dance mark, and her lips twitched slightly involuntarily.

In her perception, a faint ethereal energy was slowly flowing on the scimitar.

This is a clear indication of a successful enchantment!

How is that possible? This kid mastered enchanting skills in just three days?

Is he a genius?

Could he possibly have a photographic memory and learn everything instantly?

She gave Kane a deep look, her heart filled with doubt, but she didn't delve into it.

"Then I'll take my leave now."

Just as Kane was about to leave, Lady Mistweaver spoke up:

"Wait, about Zeya...."

Zeya hesitated for a moment, then gently removed the gauze covering her left eye.

Kane looked over and couldn't help but show a surprised expression.

That eye is no longer the demonic vertical pupil it once was!

Could it be that the effects of the "possession potion" leaked from the demon cult have been reversed?

How is that possible?

Lady Mist noticed his confusion and shook her head to explain:

"It didn't reverse the effect."

"I only used a first-circle spell, Disguise, on Zeya to temporarily change her pupil shape."

"However, this spell only lasts for one hour."

Kane was somewhat disappointed, but Zeya gestured for him to continue listening.

Ms. Mist continued:

"I do have some ideas about that possession potion."

"Kid, can you get your hands on the recipe?"

Kane paused for a moment, then replied:

"Not now."

Just as Zeya's eyes dimmed, he said again:

"But soon... I should be able to get the formula."

Zeya's face instantly lit up with a joyful smile again.

Lady Mist looked at Kane with a scrutinizing gaze.

But in the end, she said nothing, only nodded slightly...
