Chapter 99: Thick Earth and Light Armor
Just when Iron Hammer thought that the forging had failed, a scene that surprised him appeared: Kester seemed to have suddenly thought of something, and the amethyst carving knife in his hand flashed again, but this time it was no longer a green fighting spirit, but a silver-white divine power. Several quaint charms were lightly painted by Kester on the surface of the armor that was about to shatter, and with the drop of the spells, the original rift did not expand. Under the scorching heat, the crack slowly closed again after a short time, and only the faint spell on the surface was still flickering with a faint silver light.
"Thisβ" Hammer's eyes widened, "the rifts have already appeared, how can it be..."
But before Hammer could finish speaking, Kester's tired voice came: "Grandpa Hammer, what should I do next?" β
Only then did the hammer come back to his senses: "Oh yes, you wrap the demon core with fighting qi or divine power, and inlay it into the lines, pay attention to the gentle movements." β
Keith nodded, and the green vindictiveness filled again. Under the watchful eye of the hammer, the magic core of the traveler scorpion wrapped in vindictive energy was slowly embedded in the armor, and this time there was nothing wrong. The demon core was surrounded by lines, and the entire armor also emitted a faint yellow light with the embedding of the demon core.
"I'll do the quenching." Seeing Kester sweating profusely, Hammer couldn't help but look at him again. But the rest of the process no longer needed fighting spirit or divine power, and Iron Hammer felt that he still needed to help him.
Kester shook his head resolutely: "This is the first piece of equipment I've ever built, and I wish I could finish it myself!" β
Hammer nodded silently, the young man's will was beyond his expectations, as the leader of Kester's forging industry, Hammer should support his actions.
Although quenching is also a highly technical work, it is undoubtedly a small thing compared to the seal carving of armor patterns, and with the guidance of the hammer, Kester can easily complete the quenching process. It is worth mentioning that the previous lines of Kester, after quenching, actually disappeared on the surface of the armor, leaving no trace.
"Whew, it's finally done!" By the time the armor was fully presented to Kester, it was already dark. White Feather had long since lost its initial freshness, and it didn't take long for Kester to start forging before he went back to his room to find Silver Wing. Hammer looked at Kester with a complicated expression, not knowing what was going on in his mind.
After a long time, the hammer finally asked, "Xiao Ye, where did your lines come from just now?" I asked myself that even if I didn't have the skills at home, my knowledge in forging was still first-class. But I went through everything in my mind related to the forge, and there was no clue to the pattern. β
"This," Kester smiled bitterly, "with all due respect. β
This answer was also expected by the hammer, he was only slightly disappointed, and then he calmed down: "Well, everyone has secrets, and I won't force you." You can try this armor first. β
Kester nodded, and put on the newly forged light armor. Earthen armor isn't pretty, but it's practical: under the shoulder armor with good mobility, Kester's hands can move freely; The cuirass was not heavy, but it was also absolutely solid; Although the waist armor looks a little rough, it is actually very comfortable to wear. The whole armor is a pale earthy yellow, and the core of the armor, the core of the traveler's scorpion, is located in the very center of the breastplate. Bits of light emanated from the core and spread all over the surface of the armor, a sign that the mana defense had been activated. As the owner of the armor, Kester can use Dou Qi or divine power to strengthen the magic output of magic defense, and improve the defense attribute for a short time, but the consequence is that the energy absorption of the magic core is overloaded, and it takes a while to recover.
"Yes, yes, the overall attributes of the armor are very good." Iron Hammer is an expert in this area, and he can see at a glance that the quality of this armor in its class is already absolutely superior.
Kester was satisfied, too, and tried to pick up a serrated wurm's front teeth and stabbed it hard in his chest. Just listening to the sound of "ding", there was not even a trace left on the surface of the armor.
"It seems that the defense is also very high, and it is hard to imagine that this is the work of a newcomer!" Hammer exclaimed.
"Thanks to Grandpa Hammer's teachings." Kester said modestly.
Hammer shook his head: "I'm just a guide, and the success of this armor is inseparable from your outstanding talent." By the way, you can give your new armor a name. β
"Then, let's call it Thick Earth Light Armor!"
**********
It was already dark, and the first quarter moon hung in mid-air, sprinkling a little moonlight. In the room of the King's Sledgehammer Hotel, the lights had been turned off, and Kester was lying on his back on the bed, thinking about his thoughts. White Feather Silver Wings curled up, crouching on either side of the pillow, as if they had fallen asleep. The thick earth light armor was safely placed on the ground next to the bed, and the earth-colored armor looked particularly simple, and there was no sense of contradiction with the background of the old King Sledgehammer Hotel.
"Whew, a forging master isn't that easy to be." Feeling both physical and mental exhaustion, Kester smiled bitterly: "Even the simplest grain design and the most stable material forging are so difficult..."
Recalling the mistake in the process of forging the thick earth light armor just now, Kester couldn't help but be a little afraid: "Fortunately, I reacted quickly enough just now, otherwise not only the material would be scrapped, but even me and Grandpa Iron Hammer would be affected by the explosion." β
What the hell just happened? It turned out that just when Kester was helpless, he suddenly found a special divine pattern in the mess of divine knowledge in his mind, which he had not yet had time to penetrate.
This crest, known as the Growth Mark, is a forbidden crest that originated in the Church of Shadows. It was originally designed to challenge the Father's authority to create life by absorbing energy.
During a confrontation between the Knights of God and the Shadow Church of that generation, the Fairy Empress Anna accidentally captures the designer of the Growth Mark. At that time, due to the invasion of demons, Eswell fell into the middle of internal and external troubles. Therefore, Anna, perceiving the usefulness of the growth mark, handed it over to the regiment commander Siddle. Siddle hesitated, and finally applied the growth mark to the equipment of the Knights of God. With the growth mark of the special trip to absorb energy, the defensive equipment of the Knights of the Gods has almost been improved by half a grade, and it has also gained growth! Since then, the Knights of the Gods have gradually gained the upper hand in the confrontation with the demons.
Everything went well, until one time, when the Darkspawn Blood Emperor Freir was on his patrols, he found an armor that had given birth to his own consciousness! This incident caused a great sensation at the time, and the Knights of God even faced the dilemma of being dissolved by the church for a time, if it weren't for the excessive pressure on Eswell from the demons, maybe Siddle would not be a hero now, but a sinner.
Since then, the growth mark has been listed as a taboo in the church, and all equipment with the growth mark engraved with the growth mark has been destroyed. And the thick earth light armor forged by Kester is only the only piece of equipment with growth marks in Acewell today - a light armor that can grow!
"Hey, you really can't tell Grandpa Hammer about this, after all, it's a forbidden god pattern..."Kester thought so and slowly fell asleep.
