Chapter 458 - Armor Me Up!
In a stroke of inspiration, Ren decided to smelt his old armor down, rather than reforge it. They removed the wands from the mounts, then removed the diamonds from each piece. They also took out the large ruby from the chest, tossed the scrap metal into the giant smelter, then half-filled 2 of the satellite smelters with fresh steel. He took out piles of platinum coins and tossed them in the smelters to fill them up, then stirred it up vigorously. He let it simmer, and thought about something as Tee-one started enchanting diamonds with 50 runes of Augment that would increase each of his main stats by 50 points.
“Tee-one, I had an idea about my armor.”
“HA!” Tee-one barked a laugh and used Double Infusion to make the diamond hold 100 runes. “It'll weaken the strength and the defense slightly; but, if you make the entire thing with the extra pieces like you made for the Marilith demon, each piece will let us add 6 more diamonds for enchantments.”
Ren smiled. “I had an idea about that, too.”
“Oh, you have to try that!” Tee-one said and watched as Ren took out a sack of 1 gold coin diamonds and used the Enlarge or Reduce Anything wand on it. It increased in size to 1 inch across, and Ren enchanted it with glyphs of 50 runes. Since he could feel how much Mana it could take, he knew it was just as resilient as a naturally occurring diamond of similar size.
“I have thousands of these things.” Ren said and handed it to Tee-one. “This is... okay, even I have to admit that I think this mechanic is broken.”
Teepo chittered in laughter. “Then use it to it's full effect, and see what you can do with it.”
“But...”
“Come on, Ren.” Teepo said. “Have fun with it! Make a set of armor that's so overpowered that no one will ever challenge you!”
“That's a good idea, Ren.” Tee-one said and enchanted the diamond Ren had given him. “It's your own motto to make anything that you can.”
“I didn't make that Staff of Necromancy.” Ren said.
“That's because a couple of the spells in it are too nasty to have out in the open.” Teepo said.
“Then change them.” Tee-one said, and Ren looked at him.
“What?”
“Alter the recipe and change the spells.” Tee-one said and enchanted another diamond. “I'm sure you'll be restricted to certain types of spells to put in it; but, other than that...”
“Damn, why didn't I think of that?” Ren asked.
“You're too flipping busy, maybe?” Teepo chittered in laughter.
“All right, yes.” Ren said and smiled. “Give me a minute.”
“Take a few.” Tee-one said and enchanted another diamond. “We've got tons of time before morning.”
“You say that now.” Ren grinned, and Tee-one laughed. “Okay, okay. Staff recipes. Ah, there it is.”
