Chapter 81 Pens
"The learning of magic is not achieved overnight, even if it is just a simple application. What exactly do you want to do? I can't understand it."
Im turned out from behind and said to Jiayi who was slumped on the ground. He was afraid that there would be problems when Jiayi used this stove, so he would be blessed with magic no matter what. Moreover, the furnace temperature was so high, Im was not very relieved.
"Ah, teacher." Jia turned his head and saw his teacher, struggling to stand up.
When Im saw this, he shook his head, walked over and helped him sit next to him.
Jiayi said, "Teacher, I want to make a pen. Dai'er's birthday is coming soon. I don't know what to give, so I thought of driving the pen out as a gift to her."
"Haha, what pen do you give?" Im laughed, "With Dai'er's level, you might as well give her dozens of sets of papers."
Jia Yi heard it and stared at Im with wide eyes.
Someone gave her a "five-year college entrance examination and three-year simulation" on her birthday. Will she be beaten to death if she is so creative?
"Teacher, is this appropriate? Daier can hit people, right?" Jiayi said weakly.
Im said: "How could it be? For a qualified mage, nothing is more important than knowledge. The more knowledge you master, the easier it is to improve your strength."
Jiayi decided to put down this topic first, but he was a little eager to try it out.
He said, "Teacher, I used to write with wood and dip it into ink."
"Yes, I've seen it, it's pretty good. Unfortunately, my quill was made by Yunhu and added with fluent writing magic. Otherwise, I'll use it too." Im said.
Jiayi continued: "But this pen is still not easy to use, especially the wood is easy to wear and it is always too inconvenient to cut. I thought of using iron to make a pen tip, put it on the pen pole, and write it with ink, so that I don't have to cut the pen tip."
Im nodded in agreement and said, "The quill pen has this disadvantage. The magic reinforcement is fine, and ordinary pens also need to be cut all the time. I can't stand this, so I bought the magic quill pen."
He looked at the pen nib that he cut out of Wei Jiaji and said, "You are not iron either. It should look like gold, but it is not pure."
"Teacher, steel is easily corroded and rusted. I made this pen tip with gold coins, silver coins, bronze and iron, so that it will not be easily corroded. Moreover, the pen tip made of gold looks more classy and is more suitable for gifts." After saying the last sentence, Jiayi's voice couldn't help but lower.
Jiayi's face has not yet reached his home, and he cannot be assured of such obvious vanity.
"Have you finished this? I think what's the use of gold and gold?" Im asked curiously.
"Because I want the tip to be more wear-resistant, it's like using hard metal to make a metal particle and put it on the tip." Jiayi secretly glanced at Im and continued, "You said that pure gold is the hardest metal, but I didn't give much, so I just wanted to add it to the gold and make a harder alloy as the tip."
Im said: "I used to think what do you want to make for pure gold. pure gold is the hardest metal and has unique magical properties. Adding it to any metal will increase the strength of the metal. Adding it to gold can indeed have a certain effect, but the pure gold is far from being apart.
"What are you going to do next? I'll finish it for you and see what the pen you made looks like."
Jiayi has recovered a lot, but he still has no ability to continue production, but he is overjoyed at Im's request.
He directed Im to divide the fine gold particles into small particles, and divide them into 7 particles in total, and then melt each small metal particle at high temperature and stick it on the tip of the pen.
Im used magic to polish the pen tip, grinding it to the right size, making it bright and regular. He also had magically etching a flower body "Jia" on the pen tip in the middle of the pen tip.
Jiayi used a small hammer to bending the tip of the pen to form a curve.
Finally, let Im use the wind blade to cut the tip of the pen from the middle, leaving only the last part connected. Then, Kaichi gently knocked the tip with the front end with the pure gold and put it together.
The pen tip is finally ready.
Im looked at the exquisite pen tip and nodded with satisfaction, saying, "This looks pretty good, but how should I use it? Can I use it directly when I plug it into the front of the pen?"
Im was very satisfied with the nib, especially since he etched Kaichi's name on it, which looked more classy.
Jiayi took out a pen holder, which he prepared a few days ago.
The best wood he chose was cut into a pen shape, and there were still many grooves cut at the front to store ink. However, there was no sharpening in front, leaving a groove to install the pen tip.
Jiayi installed the tip of the pen on the pen holder, took out a piece of paper, and drew it directly on it.
He felt that it was still a bit paper-pulled and easy to write. Toim used magic to process it several times before he wrote and painted it on the paper, and it felt smoother.
Next, he took out the ink and dipped it in ink to write. He saw that the writing was smooth and smooth, the font was wide and thin, and at least the words he wrote were much clearer than the original one.
When Im saw this, he took the pen and started writing it himself.
"Not bad, not bad." Im said while writing, "It's really different to use this way, it's very smooth, no worse than my magic quill. It also has great development potential. You can carve magic circles on the pen holder, and even the tip of the pen can be engraved with miniature magic circles for blessing.
"Especially, the material of the pen tip is metal, which can be made with magic metal. It must be very good to engrave magic circles for making magic scrolls. It is difficult to engrave magic circles on quill pens. The space is too small, so you can only use the feathers of flying monsters, and then use the magic power that already exists to outline. Such magic effects are generally not good and are particularly expensive.
"Come on, I'll send you my magic quill. I'll find some suitable magic metals to come over and make a magic pen for me."
Im seemed very excited and praised Jiayi's quill pen, so he wanted Jiayi to help him make a pen immediately.
I just saw that Jiayi was exhausted because he was too much and stopped and did not continue to ask for it.
In fact, the production of a fountain pen is not complicated. If it were the ink-absorbing pens of later generations, it might not be possible to make them without rubber, but there would be no problem with dipping pens.
Judging from Jiayi's craftsmanship, magic is just an auxiliary and does not play a decisive key role. Even if the blacksmith directly forged it, it can make a suitable pen tip, and the craftsmanship will only be better than Jiayi, but it is just not as fast as Jiayi. Even if the wear-resistant iridium particles on the pen tip cannot be made, some slightly harder metal can be found instead. The swords drawn in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period have reinforced and anti-rust coatings. There is no problem with the pen tip being polished into the required shape.
In fact, the tip of the pen without a wear-resistant tip will not affect the use. When Kazuichi went to school in his previous life, he bought several pens, very ordinary pens. None of them was damaged by the wear of the tip. Of course, it is also related to the fact that the ordinary pen he bought was not cared for. Moreover, can he change the tip?
