William is a very actionable person, he said to leave, and the next day he really left. Across that distant strait, his wife, his domain, was waiting for him.

Sinloth stood in the harbor, watching William's ship spread its white sails and slowly disappear into the sky. Although they haven't known each other for too long, they have become very good friends during this time together. At this time, the transportation is difficult, and each other has a territory and family drag, and they want to meet again, but they don't know when it will be.

"William of the dog day, even eat and take it, and pack it" Although it is a complaining word, it is mixed with a faint joy. It's rare to meet a confidant in life, and it doesn't hurt to give him some Desmond's souvenirs before leaving, anyway, it's all made out of clay by Nanorca. What's more, Sinloth looked at the white lion badge decorated with black spots, and a slight smile appeared on his face.

[What kind of lion badge: Although he eventually became a duke under his father's will, the dishonor of the illegitimate son cannot be erased from his life. Perhaps to laugh at himself, or perhaps to motivate himself, the Duke changed his coat of arms to a white lion and painted it with black dots, although most people thought it was a leopard. This is a badge given by William I, Duke of Normandy, to his friend Van Zhuo, the first patriarch, and represents Normandy's friendship with Desmond. 】

Sinloth put away the badge and tried to make himself happy. It's just that my heart is still stuffed, and I want to cry a little

Although William's departure made him a little sad, it was useless to continue to be sad at this point, and Sinlos, who had made up his mind, quickly returned to Desmond Castle and focused on the armament of the territory.

Sinloth's advance plan was more than just a magical education for the children.

How powerful the mercenaries recommended by Roland, a drunkard, are, don't worry. Roland may not be reliable elsewhere, but this kind of thing is absolutely impossible to joke. But relying on these guest troops alone is always unreassuring. So how to improve your own combat effectiveness in the shortest possible time?

It's equipment.

Desmond's current situation is very special, it is obvious that there are more generals and fewer soldiers, and there are far more good knights than good soldiers. In order to ensure the normal operation of the territory, it is inevitable that it will not be able to continue to draw strong men. And the strength of the knights cannot increase by leaps and bounds in a short period of time, so they can only strengthen their equipment.

At this time, of course, there was no industry**, so the knight's armor was mostly done by hand. Iron itself is not cheap, and if you have to hire a skilled blacksmith to make it, the amount of money you need to spend is not small. And the vast majority of skilled blacksmiths were called to the central province of the empire, and in a province like Britannia, even if they had money, it was difficult to get a decent set of armor. Among the knights of Desmond, only Arian Heard has a complete set of knight armor.

Although the armor of the Desmond knights was sufficient for the most part, as long as they did not fight the Normans, there was always a sense of unease in Sinloth's heart. Anyway, it's not too short of money right now, so let's just get the best set of equipment for my men.

When it comes to the equipment of knights, the most famous is naturally the Empire's ironclad paladiers - the Royal Knights, which are not ordinary troops at all, all of them are Sunrise Knights, and they can break through a defense with their own impact alone, even if it is a Macedonian phalanx. Ironclad cavalry generally wore round iron helmets with separate neck guards, iron cuirasses lined with leather or cotton, iron shin guards and hand guards, and chain mail to protect other parts, and even the horses under their crotch were covered with a thick layer of horse armor. From afar, it looks like a small moving fortress.

That's what Sinloth wants. He couldn't make up the empire, where an entire legion of excellent knights served as soldiers, and there weren't so many good blacksmith master armor. But he had a magician under him, as well as Nanorka.

As a master alchemist, Nanoka can do most jobs. And because of her birth, all kinds of war vehicles are what she is best at. At the end of the day, Belica is an incomparably belligerent world, and the most developed nature is all kinds of murderous machines.

And personal equipment, naturally, is also among them.

"It may be a bit difficult, but Nanoka, I want you to design a full-body armor that can't weigh more than five kilograms, but it covers the whole body and still maintains good mobility."

This requirement is difficult for some strong people, and full-body armor will always be a very small number of equipment that can only be worn by the bravest warriors. Not only because of its price, although it can provide the owner with extremely terrifying defense, but also its weight is extremely terrifying - because the craftsmanship at this time can generally reach forty kilograms of armor, even with the support of anger, most warriors can be exhausted half to death.

The requirement of five kilograms is too high. To ensure flexibility and defense, but also to take into account the weight, and only a liberal arts dog like Xinlos is a pure layman, so he can say it.

Five kilograms, only leather armor can be this weight.

Listening to her father's request, Nanoka fell into deep thought. After a while, the daughter scratched her head, looking a little troubled, but not as a master, she was asked to do a blacksmith's job: "Dad, to complete the equipment of your special requirements, my furnace firepower may not be enough"

“”

In fact, for Nanoka, five kilograms of full-body armor is really not difficult. The difficulty is that this is not Belica. There's no such thing as a material that's super tough and at the same time incredibly lightweight. At the same time, the knights of Desmond also can't do magic and can't trigger the magic array embedded in the armor. And the brand-new appearance of the armor is also impossible to fool them, these are ancient equipment found from somewhere. Although there is no doubt about the loyalty of the Desmond knights, they are not children after all, and it is better to take their time if you want them to be exposed to magic.

In this case, the only way to start is with the materials.

A qualified alchemy workshop, a large-scale reactor furnace is a must-have. However, due to various reasons, Nanoka has never had the time or energy to get it. It wasn't until now, when Sinloth brought it up, that the question seemed urgent.

"The world of low magic is so troublesome, many high-level materials are completely impossible to make, and the only thing that can be done now is to make alloys. There is no advanced reactor now, so I can only sustain it on my own. However, if I maintain the Enhanced Flame Array, I can't guarantee that every part of the armor is qualified, after all, this armor must be tailor-made."

Nanoka's kid is good at everything, but he likes to do everything independently, which is not good. Sinloth smiled and gently rubbed her little daughter's head. Nanoka's face flushed slightly, and she was a little confused: "Hey, Dad, why did you suddenly touch my head"

"The power of one person is always limited. If you want to complete a great alchemical work, you always need the help of others. Nanorka, you also have to try to try to rely on someone else Hermint, hurry up and get over and help! ”

There are quite a few magicians in Desmond Castle. At least when compared to the number of mages per square kilometer in the empire, it is many times higher than average. Especially Xanalot, the holy woman of Zoroastrianism.

Xanalot, female, age unknown. Profession: The Great Witch, a former Zoroastrian saint.

Although since coming to Desmond, the great witch has been walking around the castle and has not walked properly all day. Every day, I take pleasure in sneaking into the kitchen and challenging Jenny's majesty. From time to time, she imitated insects crawling around on the lawn outside, poking at the small sapling, which made people really wonder if she had some strict childhood shadow.

However, since she is a Zoroastrian saint, she doesn't dare to say anything else, but she is always very good at flame-type magic, right? After all, Zoroastrianism is another name, but Zoroastrianism comes from.

"You're here for this, I'm sorry, I don't know how to use fire." Who would have expected that the green-robed witch spread out her hands, chewed on the things in her mouth, and said helplessly: "I know some of all types of magic, but I can't use flame type magic." It's not that I'm not good at it, it's that I can't do it at all. ”

Because of their different energies and preferences, magicians will choose various schools to specialize. Even if Xanalote is a great witch, it's normal that she doesn't know a certain kind of magic. But as a Zoroastrian saint, she didn't know the magic of the flame type at all, how could she pretend to be a god stick in front of the believers at that time?

"But aren't you a Zoroastrian saint?"

"Flames are sacred relics in Zoroastrianism, how can they be used casually." Xanalot asked rhetorically, suddenly remembering something, "By the way, how do you know that I am a Zoroastrian saint?" ”

Looking at the Zoroastrian witch in front of him, who claimed to have no knowledge of fire magic at all, Xinlos suddenly didn't know what expression to use to face her.

Let's not mention why a witch has faith, and even becomes a saint of a sect. It doesn't matter if the other party is telling the truth or pretending to be stupid. Since she said so, Sinloth didn't continue. While Sinloth was struggling with where to find a powerful fire mage, Xanalot found a way to crack it for him.

"By the way, Sinloth, listening to Hermint, it seems that you know a spell called the Eternal Blazing Sun, and if it is the magic of the solar system, it is best to use it for forging. Not only is the temperature high enough, but even if it is not enchanted, the power of the sun will naturally add a little power to the equipment. ”

"Solar system magic?" Xinluo was a little puzzled, because according to the magic division of this world, there should be no category of zài solar system at all. But when it comes to the sun's spells, he really knows one. I saw Xinluo raise his right hand and move his fingers slightly, and I didn't see how he chanted, and the elements in the air quickly gathered and converged into a golden ball of light in his hand, "Are you talking about this?" ”

"Yes, that's it," Xanalot stared straight at the bright ball of light, as if not afraid of being dazzled. The eyes of different colors are full of nostalgia. The woman looked at the ball of light and muttered, "Absolute Sun Power" R1152
