Chapter 30: Aragami, Armor, and Strange Powers

In the core forging area, in the deepest steel hall, there is a huge transparent crystal jar three meters high, through the translucent crystal compartment, a strange creature soaked in light green liquid can be seen. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

The monster was the size of a basketball, with a brown exoskeleton and numerous sharp arthropods, resembling a round stalk, but with a bony tail and spider-like mouthparts filled with barbed teeth. Its head is covered in triple carapaces, each with a crystalline sheen and two eerie compound eyes that are recessed.

It seemed to be just a juvenile of some kind of creature, and there were signs of incomplete development all over its body, such as the wide insect wings that were only half formed on its back, and the small bony horns on its head that had just been raised, and the bone blades on the arthrops that had not yet grown and the faint runes on the carapace all proved how powerful and adaptable it would be when it grew up.

"The breath of chaos."

A deep voice sounded, and Joshua looked at the monster floating in the crystal jar with a serious face, and he said in a deep voice: "This feeling ......"

This kind of terrifying image and chaotic aura that can only accumulate and breed over a long and long time is only a creature in the warrior's cognition.

Aragami.

Before, what made Joshua suddenly shut up and frown was the remains of the Aragami who were soaked in the crystal jar in the old dwarf forging room.

"Master Moria, is this Aragami?"

Joshua turned his head and asked the old dwarf, and the old dwarf also replied happily: "That's right, this is the Aragami corpse I collected before, don't worry, you should also be able to see that it is dead, and there will be no harm." ”

Noticing the warrior's gaze behind him, Moriath seemed to understand what he was thinking, so he immediately explained, "Cleel is also a member of the fight against Chaos, otherwise, Nostradamus would not have asked her to deal with the problem of chaos corrupting the earth for you." ”

"No, that's not what I'm thinking."

Joshua shook his head and said, he looked a little puzzled: "I have killed a lot of Aragami gods, and there are not a few young creatures among them, why is there such a big image gap between them?" ”

Remembering the scorpion-like monsters with six pairs of arthropods and wings that he had killed in the Demon Tide, and then turned his head to look at the equally hideous round tailed grasshopper in front of him, the warrior was a little confused.

The larvae that appear during the Demon Tide are all in the same form, so it doesn't make sense that the Aragami here is different.

"Aragami will quickly mutate into various forms according to demand, my young body was caught a hundred years ago, so long, it has long been different from the previous one, of course, it is more likely to adapt, or maybe it is just a simple chaotic mutation, we will never know how many kinds of Aragami there are in the world opposite."

Moriath explained roughly, he walked to the side of the crystal jar, operated the console at the bottom, and then said: "After the death of the Aragami, generally speaking, they will turn into ashes and disappear into the heavens and the earth, leaving only the crystal-like crystals on the body, I used a special solution to preserve their bodies, so that it is convenient to study the weaknesses of these monsters and forge stronger and better magic machines and armor." ”

Joshua was silent, did not reply to the old dwarf's words, he looked around carefully, and then found that there was not only one of these green crystal jars, but five scattered in various corners, and the corpses of the Aragami in them were of different sizes, and the warrior even sensed the breath of the golden realm from a certain corpse.

"Joshua, the magic power you talked about earlier...... What is it? ”

The old dwarf seemed to be concerned about the conversation that had been abruptly interrupted before, and he pulled the conversation back to its original trajectory, his face full of curiosity.

"What I wanted to talk about before was the Magical Armor."

Putting aside the slightest hint of something wrong that he vaguely felt, the warrior recalled it in his mind for a moment.

Magical Armor, although the name is simple and easy to understand, in fact, it represents the crystallization of the highest level of runic magic and magical energy technology in the future.

In the later part of the previous life version, in the face of the endless offensive of the Kuroshio and the monsters invaded by other worlds, although the number of humans was large, they could not withstand such rapid consumption, in order to improve the strength of the low-level soldiers, many breathing methods were opened, the inheritance of spells was made public, and the design of magic armor was also proposed and practiced.

A set of self-powered full-coverage exoskeleton-type magic armor can allow a black iron-level warrior to gain strength that is enough to compete with the silver high-level. And if a silver high-level has a set of magic armor with good performance, he has the power to fight against the golden primary level.

By amplifying the strength of the warriors and mages themselves, enhancing their defense and survivability, not only does not hinder the casting of spells, but also comes with a little magic ability, this kind of magic equipment that can be mass-produced in the rune factory has quickly become the standard configuration of elite legions in various countries in the future, and it is precisely because of the magic armor and a series of rune technology creations that human beings have not been wiped out in many disasters.

Roughly telling the old dwarf about the massive production potential contained in the rune factory and the basic design concept of the magic armor, Joshua couldn't help but nod as he looked at the other party's pensive eyes.

To be honest, he doesn't know any magic technology at all, even if he understands a little, after coming to this real world, the warrior can't be sure that everything is the same, magic is not as good as martial arts, there is a slight deviation, and it is not only himself who dies, in this case, Joshua might as well teach some advanced concepts and design ideas in later generations to some geniuses and strong people in this world, so that they can promote the progress of the world.

"You're talking very interesting...... And with a clear idea, it's well worth a try. ”

After glancing deeply at Joshua, the old dwarf stroked his pale beard and said with emotion: "It seems that my mind has been bound by a long lifespan, you are right, the productivity of the rune factory's production line ...... Is that the word? Anyway, as you said, it's just for iron, it's a waste......"

After saying that, there was silence for a while, Moria looked up into Joshua's eyes, and he smiled: "Next time we have the chance, we will continue to talk about this issue, but I brought you here today to let you come over to complete the final step of 'forging armor'." ”

The old dwarf walked briskly to the stone wall of his forge room, and patted somewhere, and immediately there was a rumbling sound of gears in the metal wall, and then a hole was made in the wall that had been gapless, and a huge metal box appeared in front of everyone.

Moriah stepped forward and opened the box, revealing a large, thick set of black armor held up by a bracket.

This armor is made of layers of thick armor stacked on top of each other, the black outer armor covered by layers like dragon scales has no dead corners and flaws, above the helmet, there are two horns like dragon horns, with a flash of magical brilliance, the observation port of its eyes is a V-shaped crack, filled with transparent steel crystals, and the armor on the legs is also extremely thick and extremely hard.

This armor looked like it weighed at least three hundred kilograms, or even heavier, and Joshua could tell that the black outer armor was definitely mixed with a little earth melt dust and Titan Heart Stone, which was used to increase the armor's resistance to magic, hardness, and weight.

"This armor alone weighs more than an ordinary knight plus his warhorse."

Walking forward, Joshua stroked this set of armor, and sighed with some excitement in his heart: "If it is a Pegasus or a unicorn knight of the elf clan, this set of armor can top two...... And it's very hard, and I pushed a little harder, but I didn't feel any material change. ”

A warrior is a character who can pinch iron like rubber with his bare hands, and many armors seem to him to be no different from plasticine, but this temptation did not cause any damage, which is enough to prove the hardness of this armor.

"Weight is also part of defense and attack."

Moria grinned, he looked very proud of his design: "You are a golden warrior, you will not get tired in fighting with hundreds of kilograms of weapons, wearing this armor will certainly reduce your speed, but it will also make you an indestructible and terrible fortress, allowing you to fight on the battlefield at will...... You should understand when you need to use this set of armor. ”

Joshua naturally knew that on top of the wide military formation, he put on this suit of armor and then began to charge, which was basically unstoppable, if he rode a war horse, he was more tanky than a tank, and he didn't even need a knife when he met anyone, he just needed to run over.

However, in places like woods, swamps, and deserts, wearing this kind of super-heavy equipment is basically to find guilt for yourself.

The old dwarf was still introducing: "The outer layer imitates the structure of dragon scales and the Titan Heart Stone, which can make silver-level magic basically ineffective, and the main material of the armor is the [Aragami Crystal] used to cast the god machine, even if it is my own full force, it cannot quickly destroy the armor, at most there is a little obvious dent, but that's all." ”

Stroking the outer shell of this armor with satisfaction, Joshua turned his head and said, "What is the final step?" ”

The old dwarf replied quickly, "It's up to you to inject energy into it and activate the magic pattern on it." ”

After speaking, he laughed again: "Haha, the oath I made with your ancestors back then was 'one divine machine, one set of armor', and now you have contracted a second divine machine, it stands to reason that I should give two sets of armor, but the materials are basically used up, and it is indeed difficult to create this second set of armor, and you need to wait for a long time." ”

Rin, who was standing quietly on the side, tilted his head, blinked his eyes, and suddenly he looked at Moriah with some confusion.

"There's no need to forge a second set of armor, and the so-called oath doesn't have to be done like this."

Rubbing Rin's head and hair, Joshua shook his head and said, "And how can I take other people's things for nothing?" Even if it is an oath, it is an oath with my ancestors, not with me. Master Moria, my knights brought the materials of the Great Ajax Dragon Hunting Spider and Black Eclipse Dragon that I hunted before, all of which are gold-level materials, and I think it is enough to offset the material fee, if it is not enough, you can tell me, anyway, I also like to hunt Warcraft, if I deliberately look for it, it is not difficult to hunt for Golden Warcraft. ”

"There's no need to ......"

With a wave of his hand, the warrior stopped the old dwarf from speaking, and said, "If you really want to help me, then we can change the structure of this armor later...... Didn't I talk about the general design idea of the magic armor before? ”

Speaking of this, Joshua grinned and smiled: "We can start from this aspect and forge the first set in this world...... Magical Armor! ”

Standing on the side, Cleel looked at Joshua and Moria, who were discussing the design of the armor, and the elf druid couldn't help but sigh softly.

"Men are like that, they like weapons, they like armor...... Always loved this kind of thing. ”

Talking to herself softly, she didn't show an irritated expression, but there was a faint smile on her face, and her eyes floated, as if she had returned to a long time ago.

Time passes in the discussion.

After a long time, Moria, who had roughly determined the armor modification plan, exhaled, he looked at the design in front of him with satisfaction, and praised: "I didn't expect that Joshua, your forging and design skills are very solid, I thought you were just a pure warrior." ”

After all, I also have a 22nd career level in my life, and I spent a lot of time exercising back then.

Shrugging his shoulders, Joshua was also very satisfied with the design in front of him: "Sometimes, men always fantasize about being able to create weapons and equipment that satisfy them, but I didn't realize until the end that there is no talent in this area, that is, there is no talent, instead of blindly envying the abilities of others, it is better to go further with what I know." ”

"It's already so much better than the vast majority of people, you just don't have the time to practice."

After relieving himself a little, Joshua suddenly thought of something.

"By the way, Master Moria, in addition to taking the armor, I have another purpose for coming this time."

Solemnly taking out a small box from his chest, the warrior opened the box, and then handed it to Moria, he said solemnly: "Please help me identify this piece of steel crystal." There is a strange power lodge in this steel crystal, and I can't analyze the source. ”

"The crystallization of steel? It's not very common. ”

"Be careful, don't touch it directly, it will have weird sequelae when touched."

Nodding his head, indicating that he knew the warrior's prompt, Moriah took the box handed over by Joshua, and his hand ignited a pale golden fighting qi before taking out the black-red crystals placed in it.

The old dwarf, who had been dealing with ores and weapons for more than 100 years, looked at it seriously: "The color is a little strange, the power in the crystals is rapidly overflowing, and all of them are very stagnant...... Wait, at this rate of escape, shouldn't this crystallization have dissipated long ago?"

"What is it that keeps it in shape?"
