Chapter 11: Knight's Armor
Due to the value of magical equipment, Alvin eventually chose a special warehouse in the training ground as a storage location.
After all, there were only five people in the entire fifth detachment of the Silver Moon Knights, and two of them were non-combatants, so it was impossible to assign people to take care of them. Stored in a heavily guarded training ground warehouse is the best option and easy to access.
......
After carefully studying the instructions written in the lingua franca of the mainland, the training began in earnest.
First of all, it is basic physical training, which is divided into five parts: long-distance running, archery, equestrian, infantry fighting, and cavalry fighting. For this reason, Hall and other knights under Irene's command were specially invited to help test and evaluate.
Needless to say, Alvin is all A-level, and long-distance running and infantry fighting have reached S-level.
S-class means that among the knights under Irene, it is difficult to compare to Elwin. If there is, it's probably Paz's infantry fighting.
When Alvin knocked Mike down, the onlookers erupted in earth-shattering cheers.
"There's nothing to say, really. I couldn't even fight General Mack for two rounds, and he actually knocked General Mack down......"
"He's still so young, he's going to be even better in the future. ”
"I have no problem with such a person becoming the captain of the fifth detachment of the Silver Moon Knights. ”
Reaching out, Alvin pulled Mike to the ground, and helped him out of the arena amid the cheers of the soldiers.
......
Matthew's strength is a little unsatisfactory.
The long-distance running got an A grade, which shows that the physical fitness is excellent and there is nothing to ask. And then......
Archery got a C, which is the passing mark, indicating that there is no off-target. Equestrian got a C, just to say that he can ride a horse. Cavalry fighting is directly D, failing. Not to mention being a knight, even a cavalryman is not qualified. Even his confident infantry fighting is just B.
Paz took him down with two moves, and then the audience burst into boos.
"Isn't it? This is also the official knight of the fifth detachment of the Silver Moon Knights? ”
"Are they recruiting openly? If they are recruiting openly, I should be recruiting. ”
"It's really not good, I thought the Cavaliers would be on the same level as the captain. ”
In the final analysis, street brawls Matthew is strong, but street brawls and battlefield fights are not the same thing after all.
Under the boos, Matthew could only leave the ring in disgrace.
......
Finally, George.
He rode a horse and appeared gracefully. All A-class, including equestrian and cavalry fighting S-class.
When he knocked Hall off his horse, there was silence and everyone's eyes widened. A moment later, there was an earth-shattering cheer.
"Oh my God! How did he do it?"
"I've never been at his level in my life. ”
"The fifth detachment of the Silver Moon Knights really didn't disappoint me!"
Halls represents the highest level of cavalry fighting in the Duchy of Beshir, which everyone knows. So strictly speaking, George's cavalry fighting level even surpassed that of the S-rank.
Riding a horse, George looked around the crowd proudly.
"Is this also an official knight of the Fifth Detachment of the Knights of the Silver Moon?"
"No, I heard it wasn't. He's just a clerk. ”
"Apprentice, then why is the other one official? I mean the one who just got a lot of food. ”
"I don't know, I guess there's some inside story. ”
"Are the Knights of the Silver Moon also doing the insider? I can't believe it. ”
With a click, George closed his mask and rode away. Don't look back.
Alvin and Cardina stood in the distance and watched silently.
On the other side, Matthew had a hippie smile.
......
In any case, the team's mapping is complete.
Matthew still had to undergo basic knight training, and the other two, Alvin and George, could be trained directly in the use of magical equipment.
"There are three sets of armor magic runes, and each group has five uses. Two of these groups are physical and magical shields. They are all passively triggered when attacked. These two sets of runes are on the left and right shoulder armors, respectively. It will only be automatically turned on when the damage that can be taken reaches a lethal level. The last group is the group shield, with runes on the cuirass. Can extend the defense range to a distance of five meters in the vicinity, and is effective against both physics and magic. The password is 'Shield'. ”
"So if we put on our armor, we can't say the word 'shield'?"
"No, you can say. There is a small button on the left chest. If the button is not opened, then no matter what is said, it will not be triggered, even if it is attacked. All magic rune triggers, including weapons, must rely on this button. This is to make it easier for us to deal with non-threatening fights and avoid waste. If the button is broken, it will be on by default. ”
"The design was very sweet. George sighed.
Halls stood by and listened quietly.
After a pause, Alvin continued, "Then there are swords, which are divided into daggers and long swords. The longsword has twenty-five enchantments, can cast the Wind Blade, and can directly split the knight's armor of any ordinary craft within fifteen meters, and the farthest killing distance is thirty-five meters. The dagger has six enchantments and can be impalated. The effective killing range is only ten meters, but it is powerful enough to destroy normal magic shields. And then there is the shield. The shield is heavy, and materials blessed with magic are used. In addition to the 10 additional 'Shield' runes, there is also anti-impact magic. When a sufficiently strong impact is encountered, reverse cushioning occurs. There is almost no limit to the number of times this can be done. ”
"What is reverse buffering?"
"I don't know, maybe I'll have to use it to find out. Alvin spread his hands.
Jones gave a knight a very complete set of equipment, in addition to the standard armor, waistcoat, harness, sword, dagger, shield, spear, a crossbow, fifteen crossbow arrows. It can even be said that there are actually two sets of armor. In addition to a set of heavy armor for the battlefield, there is also a set of soft armor that can be worn inside the regular clothes, wrist guards, shoulder pads, and leg guards. There are a lot of various accessories, all engraved with runes.
It can be said that he has taken into account almost everything that a knight might normally carry with him, and he has released all the magic versions.
To be honest, there are so many things that don't deserve a good horse and really don't move.
Counting all the way, Hall couldn't help but be dumbfounded.
"What is this?"
Halls was referring to a rectangular white metal box about one meter six long.
"The instruction manual says 'Warp and Weft Sword'. ”
"Warp and weft sword? Can you open it and take a look?"
"No, you can't. This can only be opened when it is in use, and the instructions specifically note that "it is dangerous, it is not recommended that people who have not used it use it directly on the battlefield to avoid accidentally injuring themselves". ”
"Sounds amazing. ”
In the warehouse, George, Halls, and Alvin silently glanced at each other.
......
"You want to experiment with the warp and weft sword?"
"Yes. ”
"Do you just want to experiment with this? Experiment with other equipment regardless of it?"
"Of course, but wouldn't that be too wasteful?"
"Equipment is for use, if you don't give it for experiments, how can you expect it to be used on the battlefield?" Simon giggled, and then said, "It's okay, just use it." I'll help you change the Philosopher's Stone when you need it, and if the Philosopher's Stone isn't enough, I'll ask Jones for you. He will give. ”
"Thank you, please, is there any trick to using the 'Warp and Weft Sword'? The instruction manual says it's dangerous. ”
"I don't know, I didn't make these things. You can try it for yourselves. ”
"Okay, thanks. Alwyn saluted earnestly, then turned and left Simon's room.
Turning his head, Simon continued to look out the window motionlessly.
The warm sunlight shines in front of the window, and the birds and flowers are fragrant outside the window.
A skeleton sighed softly: "Is this the beauty of leisure? Hehe, life, oh no, there are indeed many inconspicuous moments that need to be savored." ”
There was also a cup of hot tea on the table.
Of course, he definitely couldn't drink it, so he had to change the glass when it cooled.
......
The actionist Alvin soon found a deserted place outside the city and began to prepare for the experiment.
They were joined by George and Halls.
"If I'm not mistaken, this warp and weft sword should be the core of the entire knight's armor. The ultimate is here. ”
"Ultimate?"
"Of course, haven't you watched knights or knight dramas? The protagonist usually has a special move, and he will shout the name of the special move at a critical time, and then win. It's just that I don't understand why he didn't shout in the first place if he could win by shouting his name?"
"Hmm...... To activate the rune, you need to shout a mantra, and it really has to be shouted. George thought for a moment and could only reply, "If this is really a big move, then we can start shouting later." ”
Because the instructions specifically stated "Danger" and "Accidental Injury", Alwin put on his knight's armor and stood in the middle of the clearing, while Hall and George retreated seventy meters.
Why Seventy Meters?
Because the farthest kill of the knight's sword was thirty-five meters, they multiplied it by two to get a safe distance of seventy meters.
......
The wind was blowing gently, and the lawn under his feet was rippling in the wind.
Erwin carried the warp and weft sword on his back, facing the three scarecrows erected in front of him, took a deep breath, and closed his eyes.
George and Halls in the distance held their breath and their eyes widened in unison.
"Warp and weft sword, unsheathed!" Alwyn snapped his eyes open.
The next moment, he already felt the warp and weft sword box on his back trembling violently, trembling wildly. Then there was a piercing sound of breaking through the air.
Then, nothing happened.
He turned his head and there was nothing behind him.
Looking ahead, the three scarecrows were still intact.
"Huh?" He turned his face sideways, and was about to say something to George and Halls in the distance, but suddenly found that George's mouth had opened wide in shock, and Halls was desperately pointing at the top of his head.
Raising his head, Alvin was stunned. Because he found that there were twenty weapons of various colors hovering above his head!
Yes, twenty pieces, to be precise, five shields and fifteen long swords without hilts.
Standing dumbfounded under these hovering weapons, Alvin panicked for a moment, not knowing what to do.
In the distance, George shouted at Alwin, "I heard that the Giant Serpent City has displayed weapons controlled by mind before!
"What an idea!"
"Just imagine! imagine that they are a part of your body, imagine having them do what you want!"
Looking down, Alven saw that the magic stone on the back of his gauntlet had turned from white to red, and it was hot and hot. The hand in the armor can be clearly felt.
"Imagine? I'll try. Alvin half-squinted his eyes as he looked at a scarecrow on the far right.
With a "boom", one of the long swords fell from the sky like an arrow, and instantly pierced through the scarecrow's chest and plunged heavily into the ground.
"Oh my God!
......
Mega Snake City.
Spacious study with a gentle breeze gently caressing the curtains.
Jones was sitting at his desk, writing something seriously.
Adel swayed back and forth with a red wine.
"By the way, is it really necessary to establish the fifth detachment of the Silver Moon Knights, why don't we just establish a Hydra Knights?"
"That's different. Jones lowered his head and continued to write, and replied casually: "I do not think that the nations can solve the turmoil that heaven and hell have brought upon them entirely on their own. We need to intervene. However, we are not in a good position to intervene directly, after all, there is a Richie who has a pact with Hell. And you know my relationship with him, and I don't want to cause him unnecessary ...... Idea. So, we need a name that we can all agree with, and the fifth detachment of the Knights of the Silver Moon is just right. ”
"Then why choose the guy named Alvin? We have a better fit. ”
"He's the most suitable, he has a relationship with his father, and he doesn't have anything to do with Giant Snake City. Even, he should be a member of the Silver Moon Knights himself. Richie couldn't refuse. Putting the written letter into the envelope, Jones looked up at Adair and said, "Actually, I don't know what the final result will be." If my father's dream is continued, I think it will surely come to fruition. I'm just betting on a few suits of armor. ”
"That's not just a few sets of armor. Adair smiled, shook his wine glass and said, "That's a weapon that costs more than 600,000 gold coins alone, and if it is put on the black market, it is worth at least five million gold coins." ”
"My father chose to believe them, and I chose to believe in them. Jones smiled and replied, "For the fifth detachment, we just have to wait." ”
......
After calming down a little, Alwin slowly spread his hands.
A longsword quickly levitated beside him. With a finger from Alwin, five of these swords rushed forward, instantly tearing the already pierced scarecrow to shreds!
Alvin pointed to the other side again, and another five handles flew out, tearing another scarecrow apart in an instant!
"Oh my God! Awesome!" Alvin screamed with delight, "Mr. Halls, shoot an arrow at me!"
"What?" Halls, stunned.
"I'm coming!" George next to him quickly put on his bow and arrows, and he did it in one go.
With a "boom", an arrow flew towards Alwin.
Almost at the same moment, five shields formed a defense between Alwyn and George.
However, it was also at this moment that the unexpected happened.
Somehow, the five shields suddenly loosened, and the arrows pierced through the gaps between the shields.
Alwin's heart suddenly cooled, because it was so close that he didn't have time to dodge.
Just when he thought he was dead, there was a "bang", and one of the knight's armor's defenses was triggered. Directly flick the flying arrows away.
Alwyn sat down in shock, staring blankly at the arrows that had fallen to the ground.
The swords and shields that had been floating around them fell with a clang.
"What's going on?" George turned white with fright, and hurried towards Alwin.
It took a long time for Alwyn to whisper, "The magic of the Philosopher's Stone...... Running out?"
