Chapter 2: Leok's Custom Armor
"You're a little distracted today," Catherine said as she looked at Gustav, "I've only been practicing swordsmanship for two days, and I'm not optimistic about your future." ”
Gustav calmed his breath and said apologetically, "I encountered something this morning, so I was always a little distracted. ”
Catherine shook the crystal sword in her hand, and her eyes swept over: "Is it because of Chloe's harassment?"
She had apparently seen Chloe's actions in the morning, and as part of Gustan, Catherine still knew a little about Chloe.
Shaking his head, Gustav denied: "I'll take care of Chloe's affairs, and ......"
He reached out his hand, and the magic pattern on his arm flashed.
"I've managed to become a Demon Pattern Apocalypse, and I'm superior in the destruction of demons, and I have a good ability to fight against demonic creatures. ”
Suddenly remembering that Catherine in front of him was also a descendant of Gustin's demons, Gustav coughed in embarrassment.
"I'll go first, and I'll be to the artisan quarter where I work before five o'clock. ”
In fact, Gustav's concern was what Instructor Filch had mentioned to himself this morning: according to Igbre's rules, if the Arcanist wanted to continue his education in Igbray and wanted to bypass the scoring section of the Arcane Casting Test, he would need to qualify as a Level 3 Profession in a non-Arcane class in the first year. If he were a full-time adventurer, such conditions would not seem too harsh, however, Gustav's scarcest resource at the moment is time.
If possible, Filch suggests that it would be better to be stronger: in general, Igbre's graduates will have the strength of a level 5 arcanist, which means that by the end of the year, Gustav would have had the ability to be a level 7 professional.
There are so many things, but one by one! Gustav cheered himself up, forcing himself to trot up and mobilize positive emotions.
............
"Good afternoon, Mr. Leok. ”
By the time he arrived at Leoch's private custom armor, it was already around 5:20, and Gustav said hello and prepared to start his official work at the small shop.
"Today you need to familiarize yourself with the standard metrics, and this is a polished version of the version you inscribed that day. "Once Mr. Leoch had accepted Gustav, he began to share some of the more interesting arcane models.
Smiling a little embarrassedly, Leok said, "When I came to the interview that time, Gustav, you were just a stranger, so I didn't give you this complete model. ”
As expected, Gustav didn't dwell on it for too long, and nodded briskly: "Then I'll get familiar with it as soon as possible and start today's work." ”
Mr. Leoch nodded, satisfied with Gustav's understanding.
"Inside the foundry, there's another compartment. Leok said, "Gustav, you go and work in that compartment, and I'll give you some simple equipment manufacturing orders." Thanks to you, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to keep these orders busy on my own. ”
Placing an Arcane Crystal in Gustav's hand, Leoch pulled out another stack of orders from under the counter.
"These are the forges you need to complete this month," Leok said kindly, "I don't need to check your progress, I'm sure you're a good boy, and we'll settle the bill at the end of the month." ”
"Okay, Mr. Leok, I'll try to finish my share by eleven o'clock tonight. "Gustav's work is a night shift that lasts until about 11 p.m.
Quickly replacing the 'split-axis' arcane model in his mind with the full version given by Leok, Gustav couldn't wait to make his way to his foundry.
After opening the full functionality of the forge after his first experience, Gustav was surprised to find that what had been added to his vision was the conversion standard of weights and measures.
With the center of the support table in the field of view as the origin, the three axes are perpendicular to each other. Between the three axes, when Gustav focused his field of view on a certain area, a suitable length scale appeared. Once the mental power is captured by the scale, it is easy to operate and grind the equipment that has been made.
With this tool, it is relatively easy to grasp the strength and orientation of the scale! Although Gustav has a good mental strength, it is obviously not as accurate as a cold tool. After perfecting the 'split axis', Gustav's confidence rose very quickly.
I'll take a look at the order that Mr. Leok gave me......
Before the start of the work, Gustav decided to screen out the jobs needed tonight.
From the perspective of the efficiency of the work, he decided to see if there were any orders for large-scale standard equipment.
The first order was commissioned by a warrior, who was about 1.8 meters tall and took the route of a sword and shield, and needed a complete set of sword and shield equipment of dark steel. Counting them carefully, they included helmets, handguards, armor, waist guards, leg armor, boots, and a one-handed sword with dark stripes. Gustav decided to skip this order first, as the production process was a single set, so it would be quite energy-intensive and time-consuming, and it was best to do it later in the month.
The second is a swordsman's request. As a sword wielder with Juggernaut as his career goal, he thinks he can deal with most of the fighters in close combat, but when it comes time to fight the priests, he needs a good sword that can resist high heat and acid. Gustav flipped through the metal properties chart that Mr. Leoch had left in the room, and thought that perhaps he could forge a longsword for the client with lava iron. Lava steel is formed in a hot volcanic area, and it is very difficult to smelt, but the equipment made of lava steel is very stable in the environment of high heat and strong acid. However, this is a one-man commission, which does not match Gustav's purpose.
After looking at several commissions, Gustav finally found one in the middle section: it was a commission from the Red Dragon Warlock's Guild, but it didn't ask for a staff to be cast. Instead, he entrusted Leok's personal armor to prepare about twenty daggers for them according to his own understanding. Priests are also worried about their safety after being approached by the fighters, so they usually prepare some lightweight melee weapons as a defense. In general, a short dagger is a good choice.
Gustav thought he could start with these daggers tonight. He calculated that according to his current mental strength, he should be competent.
He looked through Mr. Leok's equipment catalog, which contained detailed data on the dagger from Leok's personal custom armor.
"The Priest's Self-Defense Dagger 2nd Edition: Aosteel Forge, which can be used to conduct spell-based energy to enhance damage. The blade is twenty-one centimeters long, and the blade thickness is 0.7 centimeters, and the length of the blade is thirteen centimeters......" Gustav carefully read Leoch's armor standards, and compared them with the client's requirements.
If it is a priest, the palm of the hand will not be as powerful and wide as that of a warrior, in that case, would it be more appropriate to compress the handle of the dagger to a lower length? Moreover, although the shape of this dagger can be called smooth, it lacks some defensive nature.
Gustav looked at the shape on the 'Leoc Casting Catalog', and the shape of the second version of the self-defense dagger used by the priest was very smooth and simple to the extreme. According to Gustav's vision, the best way to add some extra defense to the dagger is undoubtedly to leave some of the teeth slightly below the blade. In this case, when facing the opponent's slash, you can rely on the concave part to resist. In this way, it can directly avoid directly colliding with the long sword with the blade that is too thin with the dagger, and also increase the safety quality of close combat.
