Chapter 477: Dragon Scale Artifact
When Char visited the dwarven garrison again and threw the thick pile of lists drawn up by the logistics department to replace the equipment in the army, the dwarven warrior only glanced at it, and almost sat on the ground.
"The almighty Thor is on top!" Rock took a breath, his huge head shook desperately: "Impossible, this is absolutely impossible!", he stared at Char and protested loudly: "Honorable General, if you want to build everything on your list, my brothers and I will stay with you for at least a year or two*......"
"Why? There are 400 of you. Char grinned, "Four hundred dwarven craftsmen have worked hard to make these things for me, why won't it take that long." ”,
"Hmph! We dwarves have our own pride! What we build must be high-quality! If all you need is that kind of ordinary goods, the pride of the dwarves will not allow us to build that kind of thing*......"
The rock behaved resolutely. The sky-high asking price, landing to pay back. This is Char's usual trick, he looked at the angry look of the rock, laughed, casually took the list back, and then replaced it with a much thinner list booklet: "So, what about this number?"
"It can't be. After taking a look at the rock, Zhengse said: "To create a high-quality equipment, you need high-quality materials, in my opinion, respected general, even if you are a duke and nobleman among the human race, you should not have so many high-quality materials in your hands." Char smiled, took back the second list again, took out another piece of paper from his arms like a trick, and said with a smile: "Then, this list should be fine, I have prepared enough materials * ......"
After looking at it, the rock finally had nothing to say. This is a list of "just hundreds of sets of cavalry equipment, including armor, cavalry spears, sabers, mounted shields, and horse armor." Char's goal is very clear, he wants these dwarves to create a set of elite equipment for their ace army "strong cavalry battalion", so that his ace army will be like a tiger from now on. Just imagine, with the invincible attack power of the strong cavalry battalion, if you add the sophisticated equipment built by the dwarves, then looking at the big 6, which army can stop its edge in the field?
With a toothache on his face, Rock hesitated and "took the list." Char immediately smiled, and waved his big hand: "Bring in all the things outside!", there was already a large group of carriages waiting outside the gate of the dwarven station, and dozens of carts carried the iron, equipment, etc. stored by the logistics department of Denzel City.
In addition, Char also ordered the logistics department to organize dozens of blacksmiths to assist the dwarves in their work. In fact, Char had already secretly confessed that these guys should pay attention to stealing teachers and learn as much as they could.
In addition, "Rock also took the initiative to ask Char to send some people to use for them, after all, smelting metal and building equipment requires a lot of manpower. For example, it would be a waste of time to let the dwarven craftsmen do it themselves. Char was very bold and transferred two battalions of auxiliaries from the logistics department to help the dwarves.
Eventually, he brought the rocks to the sub-tent, and his own soldiers walked in carrying a few boxes. "I need to build a real weapon!", Char's expression was serious: "This is not an ordinary product, I need a really good thing! You organize the manpower to "select the best craftsmen among you dwarves to help me build this thing!" In the process of building, no matter what you ask, I will try to meet it." As he spoke, Char kicked the lid of the box open, and the rock looked at it for a moment, and the dwarven warrior sucked it hard. The air is cool, and the eyeballs are bigger than a cow's" and the beards are trembling. "Great Thor!!Dragon scales!It's actually dragon scales!!",
The rock's voice was trembling, and his voice was a little hoarse from being overly excited. "Hmm" has a good eye, it is the dragon scales. ”
Char looked at the rock's frightened expression, "A little proud:", in addition to dragon scales, there are also some dragon bones and dragon tendons here...... Look, the materials are very complete!", Char sighed:
"I need a set of dragon equipment, do you understand?", the rock had already jumped on the top of the box, like a drunkard seeing the wine, his hands were stroking back and forth on the dragon scales, gently as if he was caressing his lover, and even his eyes showed a look of intoxication.
"Oh my God...... This is the scale of an adult dragon. The rock muttered to himself, "The great Graybeard King has a dragon scale shield, which is a treasure passed down from the grandfather of the Graybeard King's grandfather. But even the dragon scale shield was only made from juvenile dragon scales...... Oh my God, Thor estimated, I was lucky enough to see so many high-quality dragon scales!!"
Rock Huo Ran turned his head: "Honorable General, have you dug up the grave of a dragon?, or have you undoubtedly found the cave of a lost dragon?"
"Damn, I'm a grave robber. Char looked very disdainful: "I killed a dragon with my own hands, and what you see is the trophies of this general." Char blew the air shamelessly, ignoring the disdainful sneer in Dora's mind.
"Slay the dragon?!" Rock looked at Char's eyes again, obviously shocked and afraid. Dwarves have always looked down on humans. Dwarven warriors are born with divine powers, and because of their race, they have excellent strength talents, even the women and children among the dwarves are much stronger than an adult human.
And the elite warriors among those dwarves have even more natural powers, which are simply incomparable to human warriors. For dwarves, humans represent "vulnerability". This view is similar to that of a human being to a goblin.
For a long time, although the rock has been polite to the "General Char" in front of him (after all, he eats and drinks for nothing in other people's homes), but in the end, he does not have much respect, and he only reluctantly maintains a little respect for the identity of the other party as the son of the terrifying Merlin ** master. But...... If this identity is added, "Dragon Slayer Warrior", such an aura will immediately make a big difference!
No matter what race, no time, no culture. To be able to defeat a powerful dragon on his own and kill them is considered a great and awe-inspiring feat! A warrior who can defeat a dragon must be respected in any race!
Rock's performance was immediately much more polite, and he looked at Char with a little panic in his eyes, this honest dwarf was worried in his heart, whether he had been too disrespectful to this "dragon slayer warrior" before.
Char enjoyed the dwarf's eyes and expressions. He waved it very boldly: ...... Okay, it's all in the past, it's not worth mentioning, but it's just killing a dragon, you don't have to look at me like that, let's talk about how to use these things. In her mind, Dora snorted indignantly again.
The rock took a deep breath" and his tone was a little hesitant: "Respected general, if it is an ordinary material, I dare to pat my chest and say to you, I can make it for you with my own hands...... , but these dragon scales...... I'm worried that my craft won't be able to make the perfect use of these materials. If such a precious material is broken, it will be rebuked by the gods! Oh my God...... What a fine dragon scale!"
"You can't?" Char frowned, "Aren't you dwarves all born blacksmiths?",
"We dwarves are good at making utensils, even women and children" The craftsmanship of making utensils is better than that of human craftsmen, but the problem is ...... These materials are too special to be used unless we are truly master craftsmen among the dwarves. I also build things, but please understand that I am a warrior by profession, and building tools is not what I am best at. ”,
Speaking of which, the rock swallowed. Spit: "If you want me to build it............ I'm worried that some materials will be wasted in the process of building......".
"Waste, waste, waste*......" Char waved his hand very haughtily. What are you kidding?" finally had this opportunity to catch these dwarves to serve him. Where can I go to find other dwarven masters who are better at crafting weapons? Even if there are such dwarves, most of them will not be able to serve themselves.
Anyway, these dragon scales are still a few big boxes under the bed in the garrison's own room! It's really not good, it's a big deal to run by yourself, go to the wildfire field to find the cave where Dora was killed, and record the rest of the dragon scales and bring them out, anyway, there are things, and I'm not afraid to waste some. As long as you can create a weapon that satisfies you...... Think you're wearing a dragon scale armor............ What a majesty that is!
The rock was stunned by Char's arrogance for a long time...... This guy is a crime! Such a precious dragon scale, he doesn't care about waste. But the dwarf's talent made the rock already calculate it in his mind.
"Your Excellency...... , these dragon scales "I can create a set of armor, and there is no problem with a shield" A knight's hand shield, and you can also make a half-body shield for foot combat. As for the rest of the material...... Dragon tendons are rare and precious materials that can be used as bowstrings to create a powerful bow. But you see, dragon tendons can be used to make bowstrings, but they don't have the best materials for bow tires*......"
"Aren't dragon scales good?
"The material of the bow tire has to be hard, but at the same time tough and flexible. And the dragon scales and keel are too hard, lack elasticity and toughness, and are not suitable for making bow tires. The rock shook his head.
Char was a little disappointed. He used to be an excellent hunter, and his marksmanship was naturally quite sophisticated. It's a shame for a good shooter to not have a strong bow at hand. He had once possessed a very useful bow, but unfortunately the Gathering Bow had been destroyed during the adventure in Damandras's lair.
"In this world, there are people who are good at making bows and arrows, and there are Landis people among humans. Other than that, there are only elves*......" Rock said frankly, "Especially the elves, their skills in making bows and arrows are even better than us dwarves. Now there are elves in the city, so the general might as well ask them. ”
Char nodded, this might be a solution.
But then the rock raises a new question. The dwarf looked at Char, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Honorable General." I can make all the dragon scale armor and shields you need, and I will choose the best brother among the four hundred brothers I am with me to make these things with all my might, how long will it be...... I think with these valuable materials, with our dwarves' excellent technology, a month should be enough to complete. But there's a problem with that*......"
"If you have any requirements, you can just ask*......" Char was very happy to think that he would be able to wear a full set of dragon scale armor in another month. "It's not our problem, this problem or well is going to bother you. ”
"Oh?"
Rock took a deep breath, "You know, dragon scales are a very heavy material, they weigh at least twice as much as a metal of the same size......! Then a full set of equipment is created, and the weight will only reach an unacceptable level. ”,
"You're worried that I won't be able to wear something that heavy?", Char sneered. "No, no, no!",
The rock shook its head again and again, and it said in the most sincere tone: "I absolutely believe in your strength! How could a warrior who can slaughter a dragon take this weight in his eyes." I mean............ If you're wearing a full set of such heavy gear, you'll probably have a hard time finding the right mount for you. I know that your favorite mount is a horse, but I believe that even the strongest horse will be difficult to carry on your back* ...... with such a set of equipment."
That's a real problem. Char was originally born into a tall horse, with a strong body and a strong body, and his weight was a little heavier than that of ordinary Byzantine warriors. If you add a set of heavy dragon scale armor and shields, etc., to fill the tea...... Even if you have no problem, I'm afraid that you really can't find a war horse that can carry you.
"A full set of dragon scale armor plus shields, I'm only afraid of five or six hundred pounds! plus Char's own weight...... And don't forget, Char's favorite weapons are heavy weapons, such as battle axes...... And even the fire fork he carried with him was an extremely heavy thing!
Even if there are those horses in the strong riding camp that have been strengthened with the magic liquid of the muscle fruit...... But even if it is that kind of war horse, I am afraid that I will not be able to carry myself! I am reluctant to use it, but I am afraid that when I am fighting, the war horse will be exhausted before it can run! Is it that I am going to change from cavalry to infantry?
"Actually...... Maybe I have a solution to this problem, but this is ...... way", the rock said a little sneakily, looking a little apprehensive.
To have a horse or not to have a horse...... This is a problem. Hehe, you know...... Actually, both cavalry and infantry films love it)
