The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

"Dragon Hunter Ornstein?" Leo couldn't help being stunned when he saw Sylvia's choice, because this choice was somewhat beyond his expectations.

The armor of the dragon hunter is the most gorgeous and beautiful armor among the four knights. The golden armor that emits light, the exquisite helmet with a lion mask, and a long red tassel inserted in the helmet, it is very beautiful no matter how you look at it. mighty. There is only one problem, that is, this set of armor is not infantry knight armor, but cavalry knight armor, which requires a mount, and according to the shape and weight of the armor, it should be very heavy, even a horse may not be able to carry it Therefore, Ornstein's mount must be a mythical beast with amazing power.

Because of this, the dragon hunter's weapon is a spear, a spear that can guide lightning.

"Is there a problem?" Sylvia asked when she saw Leo frowning.

Leo told Sylvia some questions about the Dragon Hunter's armor, and said: "If this armor is built for you, then this armor needs to be greatly modified, otherwise, it will be bad for foot combat."

Sylvia nodded, agreed with Leo's idea, thought for a while, and said: "We can remove the front armor of its lower body, and change the armor on both sides into five pieces of inlaid plate armor, so that it will not It will hinder your movement, and you can fight on horseback or on foot. As for weapons, you don’t need to change them. You must know that I am the best spearman in Farland. I only need to add a knight’s long sword and shield. The shield And long sword remember to use our Belmont's Jiahui."

Hearing Sylvia's modification suggestion, Leo carefully considered the feasibility, and soon assembled a complete armor decomposition diagram in his mind, and then carefully analyzed the combination of each part and wearing problems. Simplify as much as possible in an aesthetically pleasing situation, and it didn't take long to form a complete set of forging solutions.

Just now when Leo was repairing the armor for those knight servants, he tried to use spiritual energy to assist the forging, and the result was surprisingly good. Not only can spiritual forging be able to carve extremely beautiful armor without using other tools Subtle patterns, more importantly, spiritual forging can directly remove impurities in the metal, and even assist the fusion of metals, and the fused alloy will have extraordinary effects, just like he used spiritual energy to refine wizard potions .

After having a plan, Leo began to forge this gorgeous armor.

He first selected enough iron ore from the blacksmith's warehouse, then melted it, and while melting it, put all the gold shields in his pocket into it, followed by constant stirring, and every time he stirred, he used spiritual energy Oscillating the metal molecules, the iron and gold are fused into a kind of alloy molten steel.

After the two metals were completely fused, Leo poured the melted juice into molds of different sizes to make iron ingots. Then he directly picked up the iron ingots, put them on the anvil and hammered them quickly. Using psionic energy to clean up impurities and shape the body, usually after a round of hammering, a steel ingot becomes an armor part that ordinary people need to forge for a long time under the watchful eyes of the blacksmith and Sylvia.

Sylvia is very clear that the normal forging process is definitely not as simple and fast as Leo, but she has seen a lot of Leo's magic, so even if this direct forging process is amazing, she is not too surprised. What a surprise.

On the contrary, the blacksmith on the side was completely confused by Leo's technique. He only saw that an original steel ingot turned into a complete part after dozens of times of repeated hammering by Leo, and this part showed that It was still red, and the fire hadn't died down.

This kind of forging process completely surpassed all his cognition. At this moment, he felt that the forging man standing in front of him was not a person, but a forging god, otherwise it would be impossible to explain everything he saw.

At this moment, Leo didn't have the mood to pay attention to the blacksmith's mood. His attention was all on the forging in his hands. Not only did he need to precisely control the spiritual power to temper the metal, but he also needed to control the spiritual power to shape the alloy. It is also a rare opportunity for him, and it is of great benefit to exercise the awe control of psionic power.

As the parts were hammered and formed by Leo, the shoulder armor part that was forged first also cooled down quickly without quenching, but the cooled parts did not have the same hardness as other metals. The layer of black oxide skin is smooth and shiny as if it has been polished, and the pattern is also created. What's more, the color of the metal is not the color of iron, but golden yellow.

After Sylvia felt that the shoulder armor was no longer hot, she picked it up and looked at it carefully, but when she picked up the shoulder armor, she found that the weight of the metal was much lighter than expected. Too much, almost less than one-tenth of the same volume of metal.

In addition, the shoulder armor is also very thin, but it does not mean that the defense is poor. Sylvia can feel the hardness of this metal, which is probably stronger than the alloy metal that just appeared in Vinylon World.

For this reason, she picked up the long sword of the wooden barrel next to it and slashed the shoulder armor vigorously. As a result, there was no scratch on the surface of the shoulder armor, but the long sword was cut off by the protruding edge guard on the surface of the shoulder armor.

Seeing that the shoulder armor alone was already so good, Sylvia looked forward to the complete armor after it was finished.

Time passed by, and the complete parts were hammered into shape by Leo's hands, because the blacksmith shop was just on the edge of the town, and the people in the town were now immersed in good wine, and there was no one except the blacksmith. People saw this miraculous scene.

When the last part was completed in Leo's hands, the blacksmith who had been blowing the wind was already out of breath, but Leo, who was in charge of forging, was still relaxed and natural, not at all like a man who had swung a hammer thousands of times. people.

Leo put down the hammer in his hand, then picked up the parts and quickly assembled them one by one. Through the loose buckles he reserved, the scattered parts were assembled into shapes, forming the helmet, breastplate, arm armor, leg armor and Hem armor five large components.

After the assembly was complete, Leo told Sylvia how to wear the armor, and then let Sylvia wear it by herself.

Because when designing this set of armor, he has incorporated the idea of ​​not needing to be worn by others, so although this set of armor looks very complicated, as long as the components are combined, it will be easy to wear.

Under Leo's guidance, Sylvia quickly put on the whole set of armor. It took less than three minutes. Basically, she put her body into the components, and then moved the movable buckle to fasten it. , and the component device inside the armor will automatically adjust the comfort level after the buckle is fastened, so that the parts are always close to the body.

Putting on the armor, Sylvia moved quickly on the spot, even turned somersaults, and held a long sword, blocking it for a while with an imaginary enemy swinging the sword. Her movements were agile, and she didn't feel any hindrance at all, except for the weight , I didn't feel that I was wearing a suit of armor at all, it was completely different from the knight armor she wore before.

"Try putting on the helmet too." Leo handed the assembled helmet to Sylvia and said.

Sylvia looked at the fully enclosed lion helmet and couldn't help asking: "Will it affect the sight?"

"Try it and you'll know." Leo said.

Sylvia put the helmet on suspiciously. The size of the whole helmet was just right for her head. When the helmet was worn in the correct position, the buckle of the helmet would fit perfectly into the nest of the breastplate , so that the helmet can be stabilized on the armor, and the movable components of the helmet also ensure that the normal rotation of the helmet is not affected.

However, Sylvia was not surprised by these nested snap-lock devices. What really surprised Sylvia was that her sight was not affected by the helmet at all, and she could still see the outside scene clearly.

"How did you do that?" Sylvia asked in surprise.

Leo explained: "It's very simple. Using a few small components installed inside the helmet, the surface is as smooth as the inside of the helmet and the mirror to create a light and shadow refraction effect, so that the outside scene can be completely refracted to your eyes. Creates the illusion of your vision piercing the armor."

And Sylvia couldn't understand Leo's explanation at all, but thought it was very powerful.

Sylvia didn't think about the principle again, and tested it again. She swung her head quickly, and her vision was still unaffected. Then she pulled the buckle, took off the helmet, and looked at the bare top of the helmet. He said without regret: "Unfortunately, one long tassel is missing."

"Wait until Bauclair is here to see if there is any suitable tassel." Leo comforted Sylvia, then turned to look at the blacksmith who was too tired to move, and said to Sylvia: "Look at the bellows." If you want to operate it, he should have no way to be an assistant anymore."

"Well, let me do it!" Sylvia untied the armor on her body, put it on the side cabinet, took off her coat, lifted the blacksmith up and put it aside, and then sat next to the bellows.

Because of his experience in making armor, Leo helped Sylvia make spears, knight swords and shields more proficiently and easily this time. They were made in less than an hour. The only trouble is when making long spears. After Sylvia tried the Frank Knight's spear, she decided to switch to the dragon hunting spear that can be used both on foot and on foot.

Although she is a little unfamiliar with using it, with her understanding of spear skills, it is still very easy to get started. If she goes through a few more rounds of using it, it shouldn't be a big problem.

After making armor and weapons for Sylvia, Leo started to make suitable armor and weapons for himself. He chose the armor of Artorius, the abyss walker, because the Dragon Hunter Armor transformation experience, he also transformed the armor of the Abyss Walker very smoothly, and he also transformed the weapon from a sword shield to a double sword.

When forging armor, he found some obsidian from the blacksmith's material pile, so he incorporated obsidian into iron ore, and then added some other auxiliary ores to create a silver-black alloy.

The armor made of this alloy is dark and translucent, and has excellent concealment in the dark, but under the sunlight, some protruding parts of the armor will show a silvery light, which matches the armor itself. The gorgeous pattern is not inferior to Sylvia's dragon hunter armor at all.

As for the dual swords, Leo did not follow the style of the twin cross swords, but completely imitated the abyss walker's abyss sword, creating two identical swords, and when forging these two swords, Leo The alloy used not only did not reduce the weight, but also increased the density in the case of the same volume, increasing the weight of the great swords, so that these two great swords were at least twice as heavy as the knight swords of the same volume.

Although the weight has increased, with Leo's physical fitness, it is still very easy to swing. The only thing that needs to be changed is the way to use the dual swords.

In addition, when building the armor, Leo also considered the storage of weapons, and made different scabbards for each weapon.

For example, the scabbards of his two abyssal swords are buckled around his waist, and the leg guards are close to the hem, which will not affect his activities. Sword, and when drawing out the long sword, cross-cutting the enemies in front.

Sylvia's knight's long sword and shield were put together, fixed with a loose buckle, and carried behind her back, with the shield as a scabbard. When needed, the long sword can be drawn directly, and the shield can be easily undone , which is convenient for Sylvia to remove and use.

The only troublesome thing is the dragon hunting spear, because the dragon hunting spear is slightly shorter than the ordinary knight's long spear, so Leo used the cross guard of the dragon hunting spear as the midpoint, and divided the long spear into two parts, which can be snapped through the inner side. Quick disassembly and combination, the two parts after the disassembly of the jaw are packed in a box, which is usually carried in the hand, can be hung on the saddle when riding a horse, and can be quickly opened and taken out when in use.

After Leo had fully built his armor and weapons, it was night.

The blacksmith watched how Leo forged pieces of indescribably gorgeous armor and weapons, and the forging process was so miraculous that he was completely speechless, and the way he looked at Leo was like a believer watching The gods are generally full of piety and awe.

Leo asked Sylvia for a few broken gems, handed them to the blacksmith, and said, "This is the cost of the materials."

"No! You were not..." The blacksmith hastily refused.

"Take it!" Leo interrupted the blacksmith, stuffed the gem into the blacksmith's hand, and asked where he could buy horses in the town, and left the blacksmith's shop with Sylvia wearing armor.

The horses that can be bought in a small town like Tilan are naturally not very good, but even if there are good horses, Leo and Sylvia can't afford them now. Just buying two old horses that are a little bit older is enough. Having already spent more than half of the broken gems that Sylvia found, this also made them realize that they had somewhat overestimated the purchasing power of these broken gems.
