Chapter 407: Crimson Elegy
“Alright, let’s start with making a ring.”
Loren placed a gemstone on the workbench and picked up a carving knife from beside it:
“Making accessories can be roughly divided into three steps: shaping, engraving, and infusion.
“First, shape the material into whatever you want. This step usually involves carving, though some metals can be melted and cast.”
Loren moved quickly, his carving knife dancing back and forth as the gemstone on the workbench transformed into a circle. After he polished it, it became a smooth ring.
“Next comes engraving—carving the corresponding runes onto it. You can also use other things to write the runes.”
Loren then pulled out a more precise carving knife, its tip about as fine as a needle.
Even for such delicate work, Loren moved just as fast, and that was with him deliberately slowing down so Paqina and the others could follow along.
As the knife tip traced across the ring, Luna couldn’t tell the difference before and after, but Paqina watched, completely mesmerized.
