1379. Unseen Speed

  Faenys had asked for the basic treatment, so Seth decided on exactly that for the enchantments. Also, because he didn't really have a better option. At this point, Seth had various advanced options for basic improvement, but none that he could use here.

  He had unlocked the Minor Olympian enchantments, which had a good effect, but could only be used on Olympian Silver. He also learned the blueprint of the slaughterer's set, but he wasn't making that set right now and had yet to figure out how to apply its enchantments independently of the blueprint.

  Also, he didn't have a legendary enchantment for agility. This only left him with advanced enchantments, but that didn't mean the blacksmith had no ace up his sleeve. The blacksmith's collection of enchantment had become well-rounded, as he constantly kept browsing the auction house for interesting effects.

  Using the combination option he had unlocked by becoming a master, Seth combined the enchantments for enhanced Agility and Enhanced Movement Speed. This created an amalgamated enchantment he called Mighty Speed enchantment.

  Adding Seth's various bonuses, a single enchantment was able to raise her Agility by 90 points and her movement speed by 20%. The combined enchantment was a little weaker than either of the enchantments on their own, but he wouldn't have been able to place both enchantments on the cuisses because of their complexity.

  Like this, he got 80-90 percent of their power and was able to place one on each leg armor. This way, Faenys would gain 180 points in Agility and an additional 40% movement speed, where it would have been 100 points in Agility and +25% Movement Speed otherwise.

  “Would you like any specific decoration?” the blacksmith asked, as he was following the outlines of the generated enchantment, the enchantment table was projected onto the piece for him. Depending on his mood, he would sometimes add embellishing engravings, etchings, or decoration to hide the enchantment. Since the receiver was here, he thought to ask.

  “Hmm, maybe silver ornaments? I think some white silver embellishments with a floral pattern would look quite nice on the royal blue,” Faenys suggested, surprising Seth with the rather specific idea.

  Specific, but he didn't dislike it. It was a technique he usually didn't use, but he had the needed material at hand. in this case he was not talking about silver or gold, they always had those on hand, since they former precious metals became quite cheap as common materials.

  No, he was thinking about matrices that were used to press metal foils into a certain pattern. Seth knew that Tored had brought his huge collection of matrices for decorative elements with him when he moved to Minas Mar. he was sure he could borrow some later. Alas...

  “Faenys, since you seem to have a picture in mind, how about you go give a visit to Tored? Ask him to show you his matrix collection and choose the ones you like to bring back.” He left the work of choosing decorations for her armor to the bandit.

  “Oh.. cool! Then I will leave you to your work. I will bring you your...matricals,” she said happily and was out of the workshop before Seth even had the chance to correct her bad vocabulary. Shaking his head with a light smile, Seth continued engraving.

  Faenys still wasn't back by the time he finished enchanting the two cuisses. It was a good thing that the decorations held no meaning to the item itself, so he could proceed with the next step without a problem.

  Of course, the next step was giving it a soul. Fortunately, Seth had never been too keen on souls focused on speed. Although his own stash was burned out, except for the refined dragonnewt souls, Tano'Mol still had a few fitting souls, despite failing to stock up.

  Thinking back, the goat demon seemed to want to say something, but ultimately only asked for a meeting once Seth was done with the first Sky Dragon Armor. The bard worried what Tano'Mol could want to talk about; he hoped the demon wasn't going to close the store.

  It would have been a real pain if he did. Then Seth would have had to procure his souls himself. Once again, the blacksmith thought that he really needed to talk with the demon about his tech. Creating equipment for Minas Mar that could capture at least the souls dropped upon death would be a great help, especially if the demon really intended to end business.

  For now, he was happy to have gotten his hands on 4 big, epic, and mostly fitting souls to use for the armor. He needed 6, but he was going to use two of the refined dragonnewt souls for helmet and cuirass.

  With the four souls, he would turn boots, cuisses, gauntlets, and pauldrons into sets respectively. This helped streamline the effects Faenys was going to experience and lower the chance of magical effects clashing and weakening the overall performance when worn completely.

  The soul he chose for the boots was one he would have liked for his own armor, if the goat had had it back then. It was called
