Chapter 851: Chapter 845: Knight Armor
By the ti Chen Yu and Hiromi Jounouchi got off work and returned ho in the evening, Belfast had already transported everything sent by the Russians back to the Necromantic Space and placed them in the castle hall.
Looking at the boxes arranged in the hall, Chen Yu casually opened one. Inside were tal ingots that had already been refined and processed.
This was a byproduct of silver ore, with a rare content. For every ton of silver ore, only a few grams of this tal could be extracted. So even for soone like Chen Yu, a demigod, obtaining this tal was a ti-consuming and laborious matter.
However, for a nation, especially a forr superpower, refining a tal was nothing more than a task requiring effort.
Hence, in this box placed before Chen Yu, there were a total of 500 kilograms of these tal ingots.
This illustrates the difference between nations and individuals. For a nation, it is rely a troubleso process of refining tal—building a factory and assigning so workers can lead to large-scale, mass production.
But for individual transcendents seeking such resources, they would have no choice but to slowly collect them bit by bit.
Having reviewed the variety of materials sent by the Russians, although Chen Yu marveled at the capabilities of a forr superpower, his primary interest remained on the promised set of female demigod-level knight armor from the Russians.
This knight armor was placed in a specially designed cabinet. The cabinet, as tall as a person, was dark in color and built with heavy alloy steel plates, as sturdy as the main armor of a tank. The Russians’ emphasis on this knight armor was evident.
He reached out to open the cabinet door, and the knight armor smoothly slid out on its own.
The knight armor was mounted on a rack specifically designed for such armor, looking as though soone sitting on a chair was wearing it.
The entire armor consisted of multiple parts: helt, breastplate, shoulder plates, arm guards, gauntlets, skirt armor, leg guards, shin armor, and foot guards. Inside the cabinet, there was also a matching shield and knight sword.
In terms of design, the armor leaned towards a Baroque style, featuring copious gold-patterned decorations and graceful lines. The helt and knight sword even had embedded gemstones, giving it a distinctly feminine aesthetic.
However, as armor designed in the 18th century, it adhered to the traditional knight armor template. While it incorporated more feminine touches with softened lines in its design, overall, it still appeared quite heavy and plain. Moreover, many parts of the design were restricted by the technological capabilities of that era, resulting in structures that weren’t particularly practical.
After all, 18th-century armor design was still largely dominated by traditional knight armor structures—heavy and comprehensive in defense. But this also led to inflexible joints, as knights mostly spent their ti on horseback, so mobility wasn’t heavily emphasized.
“Honey, what do you think about this armor?” Though it was a quite precious piece of demigod-level armor, Chen Yu couldn’t help but note several areas for improvent as he examined it.
Still, he wasn’t set on modifying it; after all, it was ant as a gift for his wife. If she liked it as is, there’d be no need for alterations.
However, Hiromi Jounouchi seed rather indifferent to the armor. After carefully inspecting it and even taking the helt off to try it on, she remarked, “It feels just okay, I guess. Although it’s beautifully crafted, the structure of this armor isn’t very flexible. Plus, I don’t really like the helt—the visibility is awful.”
Saying this, Hiromi Jounouchi handed the helt back to Chen Yu.
Although it might co across as a bit dismissive, for Hiromi Jounouchi, she already had her companion-linked Dragon Armor. As her own bloodline strength grew, the quality of the Dragon Armor would naturally improve. While it couldn’t match the demigod armor, it was still perfectly sufficient.
If she truly needed a set of demigod armor or a divine artifact, gathering the materials to craft one herself wouldn’t be an issue.
Even though she had never personally tried her hand at creating equipnt, the knowledge and data on crafting various Blood School gear and divine artifacts detailed in the “Crimson Hymn” were comprehensive enough. Doing it herself wouldn’t pose a problem.
Listening to Hiromi Jounouchi’s assessnt, Chen Yu felt he was free to implent his own ideas. So he turned to her and said, “If that’s the case, then I’ll modify this armor a bit. After all, it’s an 18th-century relic; many aspects of its design are outdated. Besides, I have a new idea—I want to embed the Boiling Star Gem into this armor. Once that’s done, Hiromi, when you use this armor, you’ll be able to unleash demigod-level power.”
“Honey, are you planning to use the Starforce within the Boiling Star Gem to power the armor?” Upon hearing Chen Yu’s words, Hiromi Jounouchi quickly grasped his intent.
As a gemstone containing the power of an entire star, the Boiling Star Gem was indeed the ideal energy source. If utilized effectively, it could undoubtedly output demigod-level energy.
In the inheritance teachings of Necromancers, the Boiling Star Gem had always served as an important energy source. Many divine artifacts or demigod-level undead servants relied on this rare material during their creation.
“Exactly. Using the Boiling Star Gem just as a necklace to provide a diocre Magic Shield would be such a waste.” Chen Yu nodded firmly. Despite this armor being the work of a demigod, the techniques employed were, after all, from the 18th century. Even by Earth’s standards today, they were sowhat outdated.
Upon hearing Chen Yu’s explanation, Hiromi Jounouchi nodded in understanding but still voiced her concern: “Honey, will modifying the armor damage its original capabilities though? It is still a demigod-level armor—wouldn’t it be a sha if it got ruined?”
“Do you have that little faith in ? It’s just an armor modification. If I can fully harness the power of the Boiling Star Gem, do you think I couldn’t turn this armor into a divine artifact?” Chen Yu, feeling “quite displeased” at Hiromi Jounouchi’s doubts, pulled her into an embrace and said to her “fiercely.”
“Alright, alright! I know you’re amazing, honey!” Hiromi Jounouchi, hugged tightly by Chen Yu, teasingly soothed her husband while giggling. As she glanced at the armor in front of her, she suddenly said to him, “Honey, should we adjust the size of this armor? I feel like my body might be a bit too small for it. And now that I’m pregnant, my figure’s changed a bit—isn’t it better to wait until after I’ve had the baby?”
“If it can’t automatically adjust its size based on the user’s figure, how could it even qualify as a demigod artifact?” Chen Yu chuckled. This was precisely one of the reasons he wanted to modify the armor—this set lacked even an auto-adjusting feature.
