After going over everything once more, Su Lu felt that the plan he had drafted earlier was quite feasible.
Only a few points needed to be adjusted.
He looked at the two bird beaks in his hand.
The most formidable thing about a [Mystical Scholar] is not his or her own skills, but the ability to create magical items!
Although most [Mystical Scholars] can only create the most ordinary magical items, or those that carry a hint of transcendent power, it is considered indulgent to expect legendary items. However, when the quantity is large enough, it could still be overwhelming!
“I’m sure that given Kira Gales’ experience, he must have accumulated a large number of magical items. Once he returns to his body and is fully equipped, I’m definitely no match for him at this moment!”
As for being possessed by an evil spirit? That’s his own doing, and no matter how good his equipment is, it’s useless.
“I just don’t know if the evil spirit knows how to use magical items… I hope not, otherwise, it’s going to be dangerous.”
Evil spirits are not normal people and may not have intact cognitive abilities.
But the terrifying thing is that once they obtain a suitable ‘shell’, they can learn!
Gradually they can become like a normal person! Even smarter than a normal person!
If the possession lasts too long, the spirit often truly takes over the body and cannot be driven out.
That’s why Kira was so readily willing to compromise with Su Lu.
“The possibility of transcendent items must be taken into consideration…” Su Lu looked at his hand.
As a novice [Mystical Scholar], he was quite destitute. The only material he had on hand were these two bird beaks.
According to his current skills and knowledge of the mystical arts, after a brief inspection, he could confirm that they were materials of a supernatural kind.
As for their usage?
Firstly, they could be made into something like a mask that protects the head and can defend against attacks from spiritual bodies.
The embarrassing part is, the materials were so scarce that it could only cover half of the face, so the protective range could only be the head. However, it could still be modified to have the effect of a gas mask.
The tactics of Angie Ribby still lingered in Su Lu’s memory, which was a bit scary. If he ever encounters similar enemies in the future, he could use the mask for protection.
The second option would be to integrate other transcendent materials to make it into a one-time-use item. It could release a sonic attack, somewhat akin to a weakened ‘Banshee’s Wail’!
Sadly, right now, Su Lu doesn’t have any other materials!
Moreover, creating the second kind of marvel requires superior craftsmanship, otherwise, the risk of failure is high.
At Su Lu’s current skill level, he first needs to level up.
He went to the window and looked at the sky.
It was still afternoon.
The incident at the meat factory should have already alerted Gerald.
But he needs to investigate, and he can’t possibly start a fire and kill people in broad daylight, so the action should be planned for nighttime.
“Anyway, I live not far away, once they encounter that evil spirit, I’ll be able to sense any disturbances!”
After advancing to [Mystical Scholar], his inspiration could spread to about twenty meters. If he’s just paying attention to significant disturbances, this range could even be expanded!
“So… should I start practicing?!”
Su Lu excitedly brought out a candlestick and lit the candle.
The bird beak of the oddball belonged to supernatural materials, and an ordinary flame couldn’t melt them.
Therefore, Su Lu propagated his inspiration into the candle flame.
Whoosh!
The candle flame suddenly blazed up, changing in color to resemble silver.
This is the Spiritual Fire, also known as ‘Spiritual Fire’!
It is a type of flame on the transcendent side! Widely used in the making of magic potions and the creation of divine artifacts.
All this is knowledge from [Miraculous Item Crafting LVI]!
At the same time, he took out the set of silverware for sacrifice and chose a silver bowl from it: “In the name of the Spirit! Infuse!”
The silver bowl was immediately entwined with a sort of radiance, becoming hot to the touch under the burning of the Spiritual Fire.
Seeing this, Su Lu immediately put the two bird beaks into it.
One wouldn’t do, as the materials were too scarce!
Accompanied by the lapping flames of the Spiritual Fire, the bird beaks inside began to melt gradually, much like wax figures.
Next, Su Lu picked up the silver knife, cut his finger, and let his blood drip into it.
[Spirit Medium]’s blood!
This is a kind of transcendent material, used in many instances when crafting supernatural items. It can serve as a substitute for many materials.
Of course, Su Lu won’t admit that he really didn’t have the time or wealth to collect other materials, so he could only make do with using his own blood as a substitute.
Accompanied by the dripping of blood, the bird beak in the silver bowl completely melted into a pool of liquid of various colors, with faint bird calls echoing from it.
“Step one, melting, is complete. Now comes step two… shaping!”
Su Lu was somewhat excited.
Time passed minute by minute.
When darkness shrouded the outside world, inside the inn. Su Lu iovfullv looked at a silver mask in his hand.
“It was a success!”
The reason being that the magical item he made was very simple and didn’t require any complex processes.
Just melting and shaping were sufficient. It was entirely making use of the material’s inherent properties.
He stared closely at the mask.
This mask covered only half of the face, covering the area above the mouth, with a pointed bird beak-shaped protrusion at the nose.
This was a part that Su Lu deliberately added. Using it, he could filter the air, obtaining the effect of a gas mask.
“Hmm… let’s call you ‘Raven’s Mask’!”
He put on the mask, a chill feeling close to his face. It wasn’t uncomfortable but rather quite breathable and comfortable.
Su Lu looked at himself in the mirror and found the style quite good, “Right… it mainly has two functions, first is to filter the air, and second is to protect against Spiritual Bodies… although its range is a bit small!”
Due to the mask being too small, it could at most protect the crucial head area.
In other words, if a Spiritual Body attacks Su Lu’s head, it would be blocked. However, if the attack targets his torso or limbs… it would have absolutely no effect.
“Do I have to take on the attacks of the Spiritual Body with my face in the future?”
Su Lu gave it a thought and couldn’t help but shiver. The imagined scene was too beautiful; he somewhat didn’t dare to watch.
Of course, this was just a routine complaint.
Actually, when dealing with a supernatural incident, the brain is what needs the most protection because many spirits like to affect people’s five senses, causing various illusions.
Once one can maintain a clear mind, even ordinary people have hope to survive in supernatural incidents.
“Lastly… it also serves the function to cover the face. It is a mask after all, it’s perfect for when I don’t want to show my true face, I can use it when doing bad deeds!”
Su Lu looked at the mirror again, posing in a flirty way, “And… it’s incredibly cool!”
Looking cool is a lifetime task! How can he slack off?
