"Isn't it amazing?" Roy asked proudly.

"This ......" Blake was surprised to look at the repaired dagger.

"Alchemy," Field said as he watched Roy repair Genesis' dagger and said, "We also have quite a few alchemists in the Boreal Fortress, and they are not of low rank. However, the broken weapon is usually not called for repair. They were responsible for the manufacture of some of the secret equipment in the fortress. ”

"It's almost time, assemble!" Field, commanding the cadet knights.

Everyone lined up in armor.

"Disband!"

Then everyone went to take off their armor and prepare to go to the cafeteria.

"By the way, Xiaojie, I want to ask you a question. ”

Blake asked, taking off his armor.

"Do you remember, when the teacher taught us in the past, he said that generally the judge knights wear light armor and heavy armor, and the guardian knights wear plate armor. But in the knowledge we have learned now, the judge knight wears light armor, the guardian knight wears heavy armor, and the plate armor is ignored?"

Field, who was on the side, heard it, walked over, and asked, "Do you want to know why?"

Blake nodded.

"After you have put your armor in order, come with me. Field said lightly.

The two of them first took off their armor, sorted it out, and put it away, and Roy followed. Four people came to an armed warehouse. Field opened them, and the three of them saw the various standard equipment on display inside.

But most of them are light armor and heavy armor. The resulting plate armor is very easy to see.

Plate armor, like his name, was mostly made from a single sheet of steel. Such armor, very heavy. But the defense is also definitely better than the heavy armor.

"Blake, I can't remember what the book says about the shortcomings of plate armor?"

"Well, because plate armor is hard to make, and it's clumsy. Blake said.

"Why, then, is it so difficult to make?" asked Genossis knowingly.

"That's because it's hard to tailor. Roy took over the words and said, "Think about it, when you really fight, the soldiers themselves must have very high requirements for the comfort of their equipment. For example, shoes, military boots, must be distributed in strict accordance with the soldier's records to the corresponding model of military boots. Otherwise, it is too big and difficult to wear, and it is too small, and it hurts to wear it. Don't underestimate such a pair of shoes, if the shoes of the entire army are not the right size, then the army will not have to fight, and it will be over as soon as the war is fought. ”

"Light armor and heavy armor are composite armor, which is a composite armor of scale armor and chain mail, and chain armor as you have also seen, is made of steel chains like cloth, so it can be made on a large scale according to the size of the body. The scale armor is welded to the chain mail using welding technology. Therefore, it can still be mass-produced. ”

"Although the mobility of chain mail is slightly worse than that of cloth, because the weaving principle is the same as that of cloth, there is still a lot of mobility; according to the body type, a little fat and a little thinner, wearing the same size model of light armor or heavy armor is no problem in terms of comfort. But. ”

Roy paused, then continued: "The key part of the plate armor is the whole steel plate, and there is no movement to speak of, so the plate armor must be customized and cannot be mass-produced. ”

"Therefore, in response to these situations, only the guardian knight who is not low in strength will choose plate armor, and only the judge knight who is not low in strength will choose between heavy armor and light armor, and when the strength is insufficient, the judge knight can only choose light armor, and the guardian knight can only choose heavy armor. Genosis added.

Field nodded in satisfaction.

There was a determination on his face that could not be described in words, and he said: "Knowledge is dead, and truth is alive. We can only be invincible if we transform our limited knowledge into infinite truth. ”

Hearing this sentence made Field completely stunned.

In this case, even Vertis may not be able to say it. He finally understood why Vertis had always admired Genoss's talent.

..................

At the end of the theory class the next afternoon, Thompson said lightly, "Students, everyone pay attention. We're going to have a mid-year test next week, which means we're going to be ready for the holidays. ”

The audience was silent.

"Well, that's good. Thompson smiled faintly, "Stand up!"

"Mid-year test?" On the way to the cafeteria after class, Genosis asked Bruce with some curiosity what was going on.

Bruce and Generosis said as they descended the stairs: "The mid-year test is to test what we have learned in the past six months, and to test whether we are lazy and how strong we are now. The content should include written tests, martial arts tests, and strength tests. ”

"The written test is to test those theoretical knowledge and the understanding of the eight basic rules of knights, the martial test is to test the combat methods we learn, and the strength test is to test our own strength through tools. ”

"That's right, thank you. After inquiring about what he wanted to inquire, Genosis thanked him and hurried to the cafeteria to eat.

..................

"Uh...... But it's a bit of a hassle...... Exam?" Blake was a little puzzled as he heard what Genosis had heard.

Roy was a little helpless: "I don't need to participate in this kind of thing, right? I'm not a trainee knight." ”

Janosis said a little unpleasantly, "I don't even know where my exact strength is going now. ”

"Huh?" Blake asked, "What's going on?"

"Have you noticed that your aura has started to become a little impetuous again during this time, just like the last time you were promoted to two stars? Genossis seemed to be pondering something.

"Well, no. I've been meditating and cultivating blindly like this. Blake replied curtly.

“...... It's just a lot of trouble anyway. "Genosis's face is not very good-looking, it seems that his strength is not certain.

"Since that's the case, let's hurry up and cultivate. Blake shrugged.

Blake had an obsession in his heart, so his actual cultivation speed was faster than that of Genosis. Many times, Generosis is relatively lazy, while Blake often pushes himself.

The boring days of cultivation went on helplessly. Three days later in the evening.

After a day of confrontational training, Blake was tired from working very hard, but he returned to the dormitory and asked Genosis to take a shower first.

"You go first, I'll meditate again. Blake said.

"Okay......" Seeing that Blake was so diligent, it was hard for Janosis to say anything. On the contrary, Generosis has no pursuit in his heart, resulting in his talent being better than Blake's, but there is no trace of him preparing to upgrade until now.

Seeing that Blake was gradually entering the state, Roy also got up and looked around, beware of some superfluous and boring things disturbing Blake, who was meditating and cultivating.

The surrounding light attribute elements gradually became impetuous. Roy was stunned, this was obviously a prelude to an upgrade.

After all, among the three people in this dormitory, Roy is already a first-order four-star, and it can be said that among the three people, he has the most experience of upgrading, and Genosis has the least, and he has not been upgraded once. Roy knew he couldn't be bothered on the way to the upgrade.

Although Roy is a thunder attribute, as an alchemist, his spiritual power is much stronger than that of people of the same level, so he can naturally feel the impetuous light element.

Blake's face turned a little red, however, after a while—

"Hiccup—"

It's like eating too much and burping.

Blake gradually withdrew from his meditative state.

Seeing that Blake was actually burping when he upgraded, Roy couldn't help but smile.

"Ha, the upgrade is successful!" Blake was very happy, jumped up and stretched, and finally ran to the door of the bathroom and shouted: "Xiaojie, I have been upgraded, three stars!"

I heard Genesys say very blandly, "Oh." ”

Blake was stunned, his face became displeased, and he walked back a little lifelessly.

Roy saw that Blake, who was originally happy, was suddenly unhappy, and when he saw this, he asked embarrassedly, "What's wrong?"

Blake shook his head. Then, it was obvious to Roy that Blake seemed to be sulking. Then I jumped into bed, forgot about the shower, and went to bed.

(The relationship between these two people doesn't seem to be as good as they imagined...... But why...... Roy was a little strange, because he had the impression that Genosis was superior in intelligence and should not make such a low-level mistake.

Roy became curious about some of the previous stories of the two.

It's very painful to spend boring time, but once it's over, it feels like time has flown by.

Soon the day will come for the test.

Of course, both the written test and the martial arts test will be taken later, and the strength test will be taken first this morning.

"Everyone comes in the order of the student number of the admission, the first one, Bruce. Thompson said, looking at the paper form.

Thompson then pulled out something that looked similar to the Light Source Stone. However, unlike the previous light source stone, this light source stone has runes attached to it, so the pressure resistance should be increased, and the ordinary light source stone can only measure the specific mana value below 100 mana.

Seeing this, Bruce took out his small hand and gently pressed it on the stone. Then the little hand leaves the stone, which shows the Roman numeral three: III.

"Well, yes, in just half a year, you have actually entered the level of a three-star trainee knight. Thompson nodded with a slight satisfaction.

Everyone was already well-trained, but when they heard that Bruce had entered the three-star team, most of the students were secretly surprised.

Don't forget, Bruce is still the youngest, only nine years old, and most of the cadets present are ten or eleven years old, including Genosis and Black. However, it only took half a year for Bruce to go from one star when he first completed the knight's awakening ceremony half a year ago to three stars now. This made most of the people present surprised and envious.

"Next. ”

Because the test is not complicated, the students of a class will soon be able to complete the test. Of course, it was Genosis and Blake's turn in the end.

"Next, Genosis. ”

Genosis was stunned, seemed a little helpless, and stepped forward. Just like everybody.

"Uh...... Two-star apprentice knight. Thompson looked at the Roman numeral two, and it seemed strange. Genosis walked back very blandly.

"Next, Blake. Blake looked at Geneross, who was walking back with an expressionless face, and there seemed to be some irrepressible anger in his heart.

"Three stars trainee knight, not bad. ”

About half of the students present were in one-star apprentice knights, and about half of those who reached two stars were also about half. But only Bruce and Blake have reached three stars.

All eyes were on Blake and Bruce.

Genossis alone doesn't seem to be very interested in these strengths.

Roy wasn't a knight, so he didn't have his roster for this test. Of course, if everyone knew that Roy had reached four stars, it was estimated that even his jaw would have dropped.

Roy looked at Genoss, who seemed to be a little disdainful, as if he was thinking about something.
