Chapter IV. Try on chain mail
"Of course, you have to be at least sixteen years old to have the strength to put on this chain mail."
Daddy Jordan smiled and picked up the pointed helmet, there was still a very conspicuous mark of chopping on it, he gently buckled it on Hawke's head, and said with some emotion: "This equipment can save me several times." ”
As the mayor's escort of Miner Town, it is probably quite thrilling to be able to use them to the point, and the enemy facing is not the garbage of goblins and the like at all, I am afraid that it is already an enemy with the surname of the orc bandit group.
The mainstream warrior clan among the orcs is generally about two meters three, which is a chest higher than that of humans, and their strong combat power is simply a natural warrior, and in the orc tribes, it is also generally the value of being proud of the brave.
"I thought, I can try"
Hawke slightly lifted the pointed helmet on his head, he didn't feel too heavy, put down the infantry dagger and round shield in his hand, he stretched out his right hand and grabbed the chain mail, and without surprise, he lifted it easily.
A force flowed inside his body, and even this chain mail he thought was still too light, giving him the feeling of being like before, holding an unripe pumpkin in his hand, quite relaxed!
"Oh, the god of light, my little Hawke, you can lift it with one hand?!"
Daddy Jordan couldn't help but widen his eyes, looking at the chain mail that Hawke was carrying in shock, and he could only shake his head, revealing a bitter and proud smile: "Sure enough, I'm old." ”
The weight of this chain mail is definitely not less than thirty pounds, and this is a full-body chain mail, not only with the upper part, but also with a hood at the back of the head, and two skirts on the lower body.
Even when he was at his peak, he could lift this chain mail with one hand so easily, although he could still lift it now, but he would never be able to do half as much as Hawke, and he still had a relaxed look on his face!
"Wow wow wow, Big Brother Hawke is so powerful"
Little Cade also waited for his eyes to widen, watching Hawk directly pick up the chain mail with one hand, he had already felt how heavy this thing was, and he needed two hands to face it.
Although it is also related to the physical fitness of little Cade, this thing belongs to the real heavy armor after all, not just a layer of chain mail, but the inside and outside are connected to each other, and there are as many as two layers of each other!
"Oh, don't be so surprised."
Looking at the mouths of the two of them, Hawke couldn't help but shrug his shoulders slightly, and as soon as he raised his hand, he picked up the chain mail, and suddenly the countless iron rings that were well maintained turned into light in the sunshine and shone in the utility store.
Swallowing softly, Hawke reached out to support the pointed helmet above his head, he looked at Jordan's father with longing, nodded confidently and said, "I want to wear it and try it!" ”
"This"
Jordan's father is obviously a little hesitant, if this thing can't hold on, it is easy to sprain joints and muscles, after all, the weight of twenty or thirty pounds is too heavy for a thirteen-year-old child.
Besides, even now, he may not be able to fight for a long time after wearing it, although he is also striking iron after retiring from the army, but after not being in a tense environment, he has lost his original peak state.
"Let me try, Jordan Daddy!"
Hawke didn't wait for Jordan's father to react, and directly pulled out the chain mail, aligned with his forehead, the height of one meter six and this chain mail, it looked like it was just reaching the middle of the calf, and it could be said that it still fit very well.
"One hand completely picked up the chain mail"
Daddy Jordan also gasped slightly, looking at Hawke, even if he lifted it all, it was only the appearance of his right hand, and finally reluctantly nodded and agreed: "Okay." ”
With the consent of Jordan's father, Hawke immediately put it on, to be honest, this chain mail is more like a cover, and after gently putting it in the whole way, he found the position of his arms, and directly became a heavy soldier.
"Come on, Big Brother Hawke, and the hood!"
Little Cade picked up the hood behind Hawk's head in the back, and the inside of the hood, which was also made of chain mail, was also wrapped in a thin layer of cowhide, and after putting it in, it didn't feel anything unusual, but it was quite comfortable.
With a quick belt of hemp rope to tie the somewhat loose waist, Hawk put on the pointed helmet, which was now padded with a hood, and was immediately and perfectly attached to his head.
"Cool!"
Little Cade watched Hawke put on this chain mail, took two steps back and looked him up and down, couldn't help but nodded, and his little face also showed an envious expression: "Big Brother Hawke, this is so handsome!" ”
Even Jordan's father proudly touched the beard on his chin, holding his beer belly a little complacently, looking at Hawke's heroic appearance, and boasting: "He is worthy of being the son of the warrior Jordan!" ”
However, in the pride of Jordan's father, there was still a trace of shock, especially when he watched Hawke walk left and right as if he was playing, and his heart beat several times!
"Is the glory of the family going to be reopened in the next generation?"
Others don't know the weight of this equipment, but Jordan's father is quite familiar with it, especially this set of things inherited from his grandfather, he can be said to know the details and weight changes well!
Not to mention that ordinary children wear this equipment, even if they have to pick it up, it will be laborious, and at the age of thirteen, Hawke's strength even makes him feel stronger than the main battle orc clan of the same age!
This is completely beyond the strength that a normal child should have, although Hawke's strength since he was a child is not small, it can be seen in the iron, but now this strength is simply too outrageous!
"Sure enough, I still don't care too much about the children." Jordan's father sighed slightly in his heart, but he didn't think much about it, and could only come to such a reasonable conclusion.
"I feel good!"
Hawke raised his eyebrows slightly, and he shook his hands slightly, the weight of which might have been too much for him to bear before, but after the upgrade, he even felt like he was wearing a water-soaked linen robe.
Supporting the pointed helmet he was wearing on his head, Hawke reached out and picked up the steel infantry dagger he had built, as well as the iron-clad round shield of Daddy Jordan, and made a protective chopping motion slightly forward, he suddenly felt that it was unusually easy.
"It's just made for Big Brother Hawke!"
Little Cade looked at Hawke's easy appearance, couldn't help scratching the back of his head, his eyes were full of bright envy, and he couldn't help but turn his head and say to Jordan's father: "I think Big Brother Hawke is a regular army!" ”
Hawke's appearance was indeed like that of a real regular army in the barracks outside the town, except for the lack of some tests of blood and fire, and even a real warrior in appearance!
"Oh, I think I want to think about it."
Touching the beard on his chin, Daddy Jordan's eyes became brighter and brighter as he looked at Hawke, he slowly narrowed his eyes, and a smile suddenly appeared on the corner of his mouth: "I'm in the mayor's guard, but there are still a few old brothers there!" ”
Especially thinking about the quartermaster of Miner's Town, his old friend who used to live and die side by side, when he saw Hawke wearing this heavy armor, the smile on the corner of Jordan's father's mouth could not be concealed: "This is really good!" ”
Even if Hawke has the strength to wear this equipment, Daddy Jordan has already given it to him, but this equipment is too dazzling after all, and the value is still quite expensive, and he was urged to take it off after a while.
"Do you know, this equipment needs about a gold coin?!"
Looking at Hawke's reluctant gaze, Jordan's father calmly closed the wooden box completely, then re-locked the big steel lock, and said very preciously: "When you officially become a warrior, I will officially pass it on to you!" ”
The annual income of a civilian in a miner town is about three gold coins, and this is still a gold town in Tempest County that produces gold mines, otherwise the price of gold coins will rise further.
After all, gold is a sparkling universal currency in any world, especially for some large merchants, compared to copper, silver and silver slots, gold coins are obviously more cost-effective in purchasing power and value.
"Jordan daddy, it's really stingy."
Hawke could only roll his eyes at this, but in exchange, it was still a chestnut from Jordan's father, and of course, little Cade was also innocently beaten.
However, in this world, although there are superb mysterious powers, such as magic, fighting spirit, and even divine magic, the social environment at the bottom is basically the same as that of the early and mid-Middle Ages on Earth.
It is also thanks to the fact that Miners Town has a large amount of iron ore and a well-developed metallurgical industry, otherwise the price of a sword would be at least one-third higher elsewhere, and even more in those areas where iron ore is poor!
After a delicious roast of meat, as well as a roasted potato with grease, and a vegetable soup with onions and cream, Hawke was ready to go out of the house at any time and report to the militia of Minerstown with his infantry dagger.
The militia welcomes all the recruits who report and has their own weapons, after all, the militia itself is responsible for patrolling and guarding around Minerstown, and it requires a lot of weapons to use, and there is not a lot of separation.
Weapons and armor and the like, this kind of thing is military materials in comparison, although the Black Lake City, which is a subordinate of Miner Town, is a professional metallurgical base, but with the distribution to the whole country, weapons and armor are still in short supply.
"Hey, little Hawke."
Daddy Jordan stood at the door, looking at Hawke in a brand new linen shirt, he couldn't help but smile on his face, and stretched out his hand to give him a thumbs up: "You are the best!" ”
Little Cade also followed behind Jordan's father, with a bright smile on his immature face, looking at his big brother Hawke, he also waved his hand, and shouted with some pride: "Come on, big brother Hawke!" ”
"Of course!"
Hawke turned his head and smiled, then waved his hand and walked towards the outside of the town, he walked steadily, the infantry dagger at his waist and the iron-clad round shield on his back, the weight was only a thin weight for him.
For every boy in Minertown, as long as he reaches the age of thirteen, from the day he walks out of the house and towards the barracks, he has already embarked on the steps of adulthood, and it is also the road to glory!
