Chapter 1802: New Equipment: Gohorn's Steelskin
After Azadas's explanation, Sarean finally understood why the manual was so thick.
Many of these taboos are of little practical significance to Sarren, who has a high level of Void Resistance and Soul Strength, and this instruction manual is for the attention of others.
Gohorn's outer skin is inherently strong, and even the well-informed Azadas has never seen such high-quality biomaterials.
The finished leather armor was painted silvery-white by Azadas, clearly distinguishing it from the unsightly pallor of the primary color.
The whole set of leather armor is divided into 7 parts: neck armor, cuirasse, skirt armor, leg armor, shoulder armor, arm armor and boots.
Speaking of leather armor, the texture of this thing is actually more similar to metal, and the defense is stronger than that of metal armor made entirely of Titan Divine Iron, and it is much lighter.
The choice of neck armor over helmet was a custom need made by Sarren before he officially started building it.
There was no other reason, just that he simply didn't like to put things on his head.
Saljan has a pair of dragon horns on his head, and when creating a helmet, he also needs to make adaptation adjustments for the dragon horns, not to mention the trouble, and the aesthetics are not guaranteed, so it is better to change to a neck armor that protects the neck, and it is a big deal to pay attention to the protection of the head when fighting with people.
Once upon a time, the sturdy dragon scales in the form of a dragonman were enough to help Sarayan block most of the damage.
But as the strength of the enemies he faced increased, his dragon scale defense alone was no longer enough.
It is true that the Saljan, who has a great vitality, can quickly heal his injuries by expending his magic and physical strength, but who wants to waste resources on healing in the middle of a battle if they don't have to?
Even demigods can't endlessly wield their magic and physical strength, and there is always a priority in the distribution of combat resources.
According to Azadas, this set of leather armor is not only suitable for human form, whether it changes into a dragon human form or a dragon form, the leather armor made of Gohorn's skin can adapt seamlessly.
This is very good, in addition to the technical excellence of Azadas, the strong ductility of the material itself also plays an important role.
Special thanks to Gohorn for his selfless dedication (gassho).
After consulting with Salian himself, Azadas simply and crudely named the set of leather armor directly as Gohorn's Steelskin.
Crafted by Azadas, this set of leather armor has limited immunity to magical damage.
Unless it reaches the strength of a true god's attack, no one can penetrate it with a magical attack, and Kil'Gardan is no exception.
In addition to the magical defense against the sky, the physical defense of Gohorn's steel skin is also outstanding.
Odin himself tested that his spear would not be able to tear through the armor's defenses, at most inflicting some additional damage on the wearer due to the impact force that could not be completely removed.
For Sarren, who has activated the Black Dragon's genes and has an astonishing physical strength, this additional damage is almost negligible.
However, while it is also powerful, this set of leather armor made of ancient god materials also has serious side effects, it will continue to erode the body and soul of the wearer.
If it is used by someone other than Sarean, if one of the body and soul is not resistant enough, the longer it is worn, the higher the risk.
Barrage often mentions a theory that power itself has nothing to do with good or evil, and whether it is good or evil depends on how to use it.
This sentence cannot be said to be completely unreasonable, but as Sarjan's experience has grown, it seems that the summary is not comprehensive enough.
Powers like evil energy and void, which can erode the user's will and body, have a very obvious position in themselves, and they are properly evil.
Illidan?
How many people in the entire universe can be as determined as Illidan to be unaffected by evil powers? Until the second "Illidan" appeared, he could only be regarded as a special case that could not be replicated.
The thick stack of instructions prepared by Azadas was just a precautionary measure, which detailed the risks of using Gohorn's steel skin and how to deal with emergencies in the event of a problem, and there were hundreds of entries, which really amazed Sarjan.
These taboos don't mean much to Sarjan, but if this set of leather armor is to be passed on to someone else for use, the existence of the instructions is very important.
Under the watchful eye of Azadas, Sarjan, who was not used to armor, put on the entire armor with the help of Elonnaya and the Lady of Sorrow.
"I see......"
Behind the full suit of armor, Saljan finally felt the erosion that Azadas had spoken.
After all, Gohorn's steel skin was made from the remnants of the man-made ancient god Gohorn, although Gohorn's will ...... Or maybe the soul has long since dissipated, but the last remnants of his pure void power still fill the entire steel skin.
These powers of the Void, intensified by Azadas' forging techniques, give the full set of leather armor unparalleled resistance, but at the same time, they also leave a huge hidden danger for the wearer.
No kidding, this thing is almost tailor-made for Sarren.
Alexstasa and Abicien were physically strong, but they didn't dare to guarantee that they would be able to hold out for a long time in the pervasive soul erosion.
Ysera and Malygos are up to par in their soul strength, but their physical strength is a bit worse.
Only a multicolored dragon like Saljan, who is a hexagonal warrior, can be perfectly suited to this powerful armor with obvious side effects.
In order to carry out the extreme stress test, Azadas asked Sarlian to stay in first-class form for the whole time before leaving Ulduar, and he would always be by Sarren's side to monitor the data changes.
Accustomed to relying on his own defense, Sarjan was a little uncomfortable with wearing armor, but considering the armor's defensive strength, it was worth his time to overcome.
……
When Sarren met Lydon and suggested to his face that the Dragons intended to break away from their nominal affiliation with Ulduar, Lydon did not show any surprise.
Obviously, Odin had already brought up the topic to him before, and Layden had been mentally prepared in advance.
Strictly speaking, it is not so much the subordination of the dragons to Ulduar as the unilateral subordination of Tyr, the guardian of the order.
However, Tyr had long since died in battle, and the Five Guardian Dragons only theoretically maintained their respect for Ulduar, and never really respected any of the dispatches of Loken, who would later seize power.
Lydon also knew this, although Odin had a lot of complaints about the "ingratitude" of the dragons, but under the persuasion of other colleagues, he still pinched his nose and agreed not to explicitly oppose it.
In order not to have an unnecessary quarrel with Sarjan, Odin was absent from this high-level meeting with interest.
After learning more about the dragons' demands, Lydon readily agreed to Sarren's proposal.
"I'm ashamed." Lydon smiled wryly and said, "Over the years, Ulduar has not been able to provide any support to the Temple of Dragon's Sleep, but you have been working hard to protect Azeroth in place of us. ”
"Thanks to Tyr's foresight, if it weren't for the efforts of the dragons and dragons for so many years, Azeroth might have fallen completely under the covetousness of countless foreign enemies."
Truth be told, due to Deathwing's imminent defection, the dragons did not contribute much in the Battle of the Ancients 10,000 years ago.
But in addition, almost all the major events that have occurred in Azeroth from ancient times to the present can be seen in the shadow of the dragons to a greater or lesser extent, including but not limited to the two battles of quicksand.
Out of guilt, the Titan Guardians led by Lydon do not intend to embarrass the dragons, so everyone should gather and disperse.
Moreover, breaking away from the control of the Pantheon does not mean that the dragons will leave it alone, but only that the current nominal Pantheon will replace the immediate boss from the current nominal Pantheon to the Azeroth Star Soul.
No matter what happens in the future, the dragons will still do everything they can to protect their hometown.
Therefore, the question of who the dragons belong to is not important at all in Lyden's opinion, anyway, their responsibilities are no different from before, only a change in name.
In Odin's active absence, all the Guardians present voted in favor of the official decoupling of the Dragons from the Pantheon, and Odin's abstention was negligible.
After finalizing this major matter, Lydon took the opportunity to ask about the detailed plan for the counterattack on Argus.
"Well...... this"
Sarjan smiled mysteriously: "You can ask Mimiron who is far away in Quel'Salas, he has participated in the development and construction of the spaceship throughout the process, and the more specific situation will be left to the Azeroth summit in half a year to discuss in detail, many things have not yet been completely finalized." ”
