Hearing Furby's question, Xiao Xiaoqi paused. Why did he suddenly ask him if he was interested in making magic rods?

However, Xiao Xiaoqi still responded: "Oh, I'm quite interested. I really want to know how the magical rod works."

At this time, Furby hooked his finger at Xiao Xiaoqi and said, "You are lucky young man, today I will take you into the real magical world!"

This made Xiao Xiaoqi even more surprised, "Huh? Isn't it true that the production process cannot be communicated to others?"

"Shh!" Phoebe then smiled slyly, "I don't have any rumors, I was just working and I didn't know it was stolen."

Xiao Xiaoqi still couldn't understand, "Why do you suddenly want to teach me this?"

Phoebe smiled mysteriously, and then asked: "So do you want to learn?"

The two looked at each other, and in the end it was Xiao Xiaoqi who couldn't hold it in any longer, "Think about it!"

The corner of Phoebe's mouth raised in a proud arc, "Let's get started."

As he spoke, he turned around and walked towards the pile of wood on one side, and introduced: "To make a magic stick, you must first have good wood. This is very particular. It does not mean that the nobler the wood, the better, but the hardness and quality of the wood should be selected.

Solid wood with just the right toughness.”

Xiao Xiaoqi followed Fubi and listened carefully to every word Fubi said.

At this time, Phoebe picked up a semi-finished magic stick and bent the magic stick at an angle. He explained: "The wood does not break when exposed to force and does not bend after being bent. This kind of wood is qualified wood."

As he spoke, he let go of the magic stick again, allowing the magic stick to return to its straight position without any deformation.

Phoebe continued: "Generally, the wood used for magic sticks is the main trunk of the divine tree, because the divine tree is the most common and has thin branches and is easy to obtain. But today I plan to use the nimbus tree."

He said and pointed to the two pieces of wood in front of him.

Xiao Xiaoqi looked up and saw two green tree trunks between them. They were very thick and could probably be hugged by one person.

I don’t know how long the two trunks have been there, but they are still emerald green in color, which shows how extraordinary this kind of wood is.

"Come, come and take a look!" Furby walked to the tree trunk and called Xiao Xiaoqi.

Xiao Xiaoqi walked over and took a closer look and found that there were layers of tree rings on the cross section of the tree trunk, which were very round and regular.

"The Nimbus Tree is a perfect tree," Phoebe said. "It grows very well-proportioned and is a very suitable wood for making magical rods. However, it is more difficult to make."

As he spoke, Phoebe pointed to the center of the tree trunk, where there was only a very small circle, "You touch it and see."

Xiao Xiaoqi didn't think too much, stretched out his fingers and touched the circle in the center of the tree trunk...

"How does it feel?" Phoebe asked.

Xiao Xiaoqi raised his eyebrows slightly, "It's soft and smooth..."

Phoebe nodded, "Yes, that's what we want today."

Xiao Xiaoqi was a little surprised, "You only need such a small amount of wood for such a big piece of wood?"

Phoebe nodded again, "To make a magic stick, you need to take the most essential parts! Generally speaking, if one tree can make ten magic sticks, it's pretty good."

So strict? Xiao Xiaoqi finally understood. No wonder only those who became magicians would have magic sticks. If each person had one, wouldn't all the divine trees in the empire be chopped down?

At this time, Furby took a wood planing tool from the side and handed it to Xiao Xiaoqi, "How are you? Are you confident?"

Xiao Xiaoqi didn't understand very well, "Do you want me to do it myself?"

"Of course, otherwise how would you know that a magic rod is hard to come by." After speaking, Phoebe picked up a plane and began to dig on one of the trunks of the Nimbus Tree.

Xiao Xiaoqi also started to take action, sitting on the side and starting to plan wood.

After a while, Xiao Xiaoqi discovered that the efficiency of planing wood in this way was too low. It would take a lot of time to get to the small piece of wood in the center.

So Xiao Xiaoqi asked: "Master Furby, can't you use an ax to cut the wood into small pieces first? Then chop off the unused surface layer. That can save a lot of time."

But Phoebe shook his head and said with a smile: "Your idea is exactly the same as Mist's back then, but unfortunately, this won't work. Many woods are very fragile. Even if you hit the surface with an axe, the core of the tree will be damaged."

It is very likely to be affected and crack, and even if it does not crack, the quality will be significantly reduced."

"So that's what it means, you can only dig it bit by bit?"

"That's right, this process requires patience the most. Why, you can't hold on anymore?" Phoebe joked.

Xiao Xiaoqi did not reply, but let his actions speak for himself, and began to dig into the wood again.

"By the way, Master Phoebe, when you helped Lao Mi make the celestial rod, how thick was the arre wood used?"

"It's okay. Two or three people can hold it."

"..."

…

Time passed as sawdust fell bit by bit. He started planing early in the morning. It was not until the afternoon that Xiao Xiaoqi cut a large log of light wood into a small one, about as thick as two fingers, which was still far from the target.

.

Furby was also at about the same progress. He was a little surprised by Xiao Xiaoqi's speed and praised him for being extremely patient.

Then they started changing tools and started the final carving with a planer.

About half an hour later, the Nimbus Wood in Xiao Xiaoqi's hand had its last small circle left, which was basically the thickness of the Magic Wand, but it was still a little short.

"Now is the most critical moment!" Phoebe watched nervously from the side, "There is a thin film in the heart of the Nimbus tree, remember not to scratch it!"

In order to help Xiao Xiaoqi, Furby even put down the Nimbus Tree he had on hand.

Xiao Xiaoqi, on the other hand, was attentive and careful every time he struck the knife...

Until the last scraping was done, both Furby and Xiao Xiaoqi let out a long sigh of relief.

Furby patted Xiao Xiaoqi

shoulder, "Hahaha, well done!"

Xiao Xiaoqi smiled happily, seeming to have a sense of accomplishment at this moment, but when he looked at the heart of the Nimbus Tree on the table, the heart of the tree was a little soft, and it didn't look like material that could be used as a magical staff.

Furby saw Xiao Xiaoqi's doubts and explained: "Don't worry, there are still processes to make it stiffer."

Then Furby took Xiao Xiaoqi to the stove and "put the heart of the tree in."

Xiao Xiaoqi saw at this time that there was a mold in the stove. There was a dent mark on the mold, which was exactly the shape of the magic rod.

Xiao Xiaoqi placed the heart of the Nimbus Tree inside.

Immediately afterwards, Phoebe didn't know what switch he pressed, and then flames began to spray out of the stove and began to roast the heart of the tree.

Phoebe introduced: "This is a magic stove specially used for shaping. Originally, shaping had to be dried in the sun for ten days, but that was too time-consuming. With this magic stove, it is much faster. It probably only takes

Half an hour."

Xiao Xiaoqi was slightly surprised. This really saved a lot of time.

"Sit down and wait for a while."

Then Xiao Xiaoqi and Furby sat aside, waiting for the tree heart shaping to be completed.

"While we're at it now, why don't you, Master Ferbi, tell me about the subsequent process? It might be faster after a while," Xiao Xiaoqi said.

Phoebe smiled and said: "There are not many processes behind, only the last step is left to focus on."

"Is it that simple?" Xiao Xiaoqi was a little surprised.

But Phoebe said: "Under normal circumstances, it actually needs to be refined, wrapped, polished, sizing, polished, etc. But I told you that the Nimbus Tree is a perfect tree, and its heart does not need

These processes are perfect, so I save a lot of steps and jump directly to the last step!”

"So that's it." Xiao Xiaoqi suddenly realized.

Next, the two fell silent, looking at each other without saying anything, just waiting for the magic rod to be shaped.

After a while, Phoebe suddenly said: "Actually, there are some things I deceived you about Mist and me."

Xiao Xiaoqi was puzzled, "What's the matter?"

Phoebe hesitated for a moment, and then said: "Actually, Mist and I don't have a good relationship. We can even be said to be enemies."

"Enemy? No way." Xiao Xiaoqi was suddenly surprised.

Furby didn't seem to be joking, "We weren't always enemies. Later, we chose two completely different paths and became antagonistic..."

Fobi looked at Xiao Xiaoqi again, "You should know about Lao Mi's identity."

Xiao Xiaoqi didn't speak, and nodded slightly, which was regarded as admission.

Phoebe continued: "He chose the Paladin, and I chose the Church. I can't remember what I was thinking at the time. I only know that I paid the price of losing a close friend for this, and this may be me."

A regret in my life..."

From Furby's expression and eyes, Xiao Xiaoqi really felt a sense of sadness. Even though Furby lived a more prosperous life than Lao Mi, maybe he, like Lao Mi, had been lonely all the time, and in the end, they didn't even see each other for the last time.

Not seen.

As he talked, Phoebe seemed to remember something sad and stopped talking.

It wasn't until the magic rod was completed that Phoebe regained his composure and said, "Come on, let's do the last step, which is also the most important and critical step in the entire process."

Xiao Xiaoqi still remembered what Fubi said just now, that the last step is concentration. He asked: "What is concentration?"

Phoebe smiled mysteriously, "It's just to inject divine power into the magical rod!"
