After all, if you say that a Yinhanz Four-Type strike can't kill an Invoker below Level 20, Fang Hong would never accept that no matter what.
The strange thing is, why did the opponent hold back?
Concerning the opponent's question, he nodded.
The middle-aged man looked at him: "I've heard a little about you. However, you didn't systematically study the Istania School's theory before, did you? I've heard from others that you seemed to have used the 'Weaver' during combat?"
Fang Hong was somewhat surprised; so that's what it was about, but was the other party interested in his use of the 'Weaver'?
But recalling in his mind, it didn't seem particularly special—except for the final four-controls, but no one should have seen that. Besides, he wasn't completely ignorant about Magic Guided Constructs—
Apart from niche schools like Fairy Masters, most Combat Artisans wouldn't be entirely oblivious to other schools. Construct Lords excel at the Control System, but they aren't entirely without skills in the Supreme One or Main Construct School; they're just not as proficient.
Most people's learning is complex and interdisciplinary, only that there's usually a primary focus.
So it's not that strange that he could use the 'Weaver', right?
"I'm not completely unfamiliar with the Magic Guided School," Fang Hong thought for a moment and answered truthfully: "I've also used constructs like the QV700 before."
In fact, even earlier, he had used the Weaver.
But that was in virtual space, when sparring with R.
His skills and knowledge related to the Overload Stream tactics were actually mastered at that time — only that before arriving in Eteliria, these were still theoretical knowledge on paper.
Thinking of this, Fang Hong had a slight doubt.
R could teach him about craftsman's knowledge before, which he took for granted. Because in his memory, the genius youth 'R' who fought side by side with him at Pegasus Bridge and Lonely White Field was also a Combat Artisan by profession.
Moreover, not only that, the opponent also created components like the 'Closed Loop Device' based on Margin Technique. He himself had a deep understanding of how profound the 'Margin' technique was, thanks to the training software based on 'Margin' given to him by the mysterious Shana.
So far, after more than half a year, he still had no idea. Only in details did he make slight progress. Completing it was basically still far away.
So in his subconscious mind, if the two 'R's were indeed the same person, he must be a very formidable Alchemist. Or at least, should be at the level of a top player in a first-rate guild.
But he suddenly remembered, back when he was at Idus, the Dragon Knight of the Descendants of Flor clearly recognized his teacher. What the other party said about the 'Sword Saint' Broken Sky, Sword Saint 'R', could he really be his teacher?
Were this just a joke.
But Miya obviously wouldn't joke with him. A Combat Artisan could also be a Swordsman, as long as they were a Supreme One.
But a Combat Artisan, especially a highly skilled Combat Artisan, is almost entirely unlikely to be a Sword Saint. These are the pinnacles of two different domains, at least in Eteliria, there hasn't been such a precedent so far.
Initially, because the situation was urgent, he had overlooked this point, but now looking back, the two 'R's in his memory seemed to have diverged for the first time.
However, clearly, this wasn't the best time to think about these matters.
Because after listening to his answer, the middle-aged craftsman replied: "The QV700 is indeed a Magic Guided Construct, but it's something from the Empire. It's very different from our Istania Magic Guided Constructs."
Next, there was a hint of pride in the other's tone: "We acknowledge that the Alchemy of the Osh Empire is the best today, but in terms of Magic Guided Constructs, the Istania people are on par with them, with each having its strengths."
At least in this field alone, we and the Osh people are on the same level."
"Uh," Fang Hong snapped back to reality, nodding, indeed that was the case.
So the middle-aged man looked at him with some interest and said: "What do you think of the 'Weaver'?"
"An excellent Type-1 construct, but somewhat lacking in offense," Fang Hong said truthfully.
The other person laughed: "Haha, when you use the 'Weaver' against a Dragon Knight, of course, it seems lacking in offense. No matter how outstanding it is, the 'Weaver' is just a Type-1 construct for beginners, or as you say, suitable around Level 15."
Fang Hong nodded again, indeed not wrong.
The opponent's use of the term 'Dragon Knight' made him find it slightly interesting. Alchemists generally wouldn't call themselves Pseudo Dragon Knights, he always heard there was such a saying among Eteliria craftsmen, didn't expect it to be true.
At this time, the middle-aged man came closer and lightly patted him on the shoulder: "Mr. Ade, if you're interested in Magic Guided Constructs, why not stay a while longer at the Istania Artisans' Guild? The various Magic Guided Constructs we have here can be said to be the best of Colin Ishurian.
If the Weaver is not enough, how about the Golem Statue? There's also the Six-armed Asura, Spirit Guards, and Naga Golem. If you're interested, you can try them out, and additionally, the theory of the Istania School is very exquisite, not in any way inferior to the Kapuka School."
Fang Hong looked at the other party somewhat surprisingly.
What does the other party mean, is this considered poaching?
But the Artisan Associations are intercommunicative, the Istania Artisans' Guild, Kapuka Artisan Association, and Elpaxin Artisan Association are all under the framework of Colin Ishurian Artisan Association, what's the point of poaching like this?
