'It seems like there's really not much information about creating ships. What much more about workshops or factories for making such! It's great that I have a ship-making manual But I still lack almost everything needed to make a ship. And from my estimate I would even need to build a Kingdom near the sea to be able to start such a project But sothing is suspicious If the sea rchants can easily travel from one continent to another, won't selling ships be a huge market? If that's the case, there should be a few ships sailing aroundother than the ships that belong to the BHO mbers.' Pedro thought deep inside. 'In any case The ship-making operation would be on hold for now. I'll see if I can get more info from Duke Albert and his underground connections. If that's not enough, I have no choice but to find the answers through BHO in the trade event.'
Then, Pedro nodded towards Blacksmith Prodel and said, "Thanks for the info, senior!"
"That's nothing! That's nothing!" Blacksmith Prodel said in response as they shifted back their focus in crafting weapons and equipnt.
They used a black and cloudy tal ore known as the Black Mountain Rock tal Ore that is often obtained on the deepest part of the caves and is known to be just a rank lower compared to titanium like tal Ores in terms of strength and durability.
It was hard and was difficult to lt, thus, it often needs at least five minutes in the Ore Oventwo minutes longer than the ordinary tal ores. Molding and shaping it was not an easy task. It would take them minutes of continuous hamring before each blade was ford.
But because Pedro and Aldo were just novice blacksmiths and the fact that the tal that they used is dark and cloudy in appearance, the weapons lack elegance even on the final output and are not eye-catching just like the newbie swords.
That said, its durability and sharpness are on another level and could even be compared to the swords wielded by officials in the Kingdom's Military. On the other hand, Blacksmith Prodel, together with so NPC slaves under Pedro were crafting the Armors for everyone in the ARES Guild.
Unlike the traditional full tal breastplates, they cut Black Mountain Rock tal Ore in separate pieces and attached them to chainmail as Pedro instructed. This way, their movents won't be restricted even if their sword art techniques ca from Clara and were designed to adapt with the restrictions that a breastplate provides.
With elegant black cloth sewn in between each Black Mountain Rock tal Ore to hide the chainmail, together with golden linings as design, it looked like a tal bulletproof vest with a bit of a luxurious vibe. Add up the cover to the shoulders, the neck, the groin area, and the thighs, the armor could also be mistaken to be similar to Japanese Samurai's Armors as a whole.
There was also protective equipnt for their limbs, hands, and feet that were made using a similar style of crafting, but the Black Mountain Rock tal Ore were cut into way smaller pieces so that the protective equipnt won't restrict much of their movent when worn.
As for their helm, it was crafted as thin as possible using the Black Mountain Rock tal Ore. Only by placing another layer of the tal strip on critical parts like the forehead, the top of the head, the back of the head, and the chin area. As for the design, they simply imitated the design of an ordinary helm and just made a diagonal opening near the ear area, for hearing enhancent purposes.
The helm itself was designed to be lightweight and fit while ensuring that its defensive properties won't be compromised. With the addition of cloth inside, it was comfortable to wear for anyone. Their vision was also not affected that much, so, other than the hot environnt in extended periods of useespecially during combats where perspiration and body temperature was inevitable to rise, there was not much of a backdrop in wearing the helm.
With that, the ARES Guild mber's armors were made. And Pedro participated in the crafting together with his slaves because he wanted to give it to everyone else so that they can familiarize themselves in fighting with their armor equipped. There's a huge difference after all because although the amount of the tal ores used were reduced, the weight of the armors was still heavy on that point.
And considering that almost all of the parts of their body have specific protective equipnt to be worn, it was completely a different experience from not wearing armor. It was as if they were trying to fight with 'weights' attached all over their body. The only difference from the ordinary armors available was that their movents were not much restricted.
The details and design of the armors were just overkilled because of the support that Duke Albert provided to Pedro. From the quality of the cloth that was used to the expert seamstress that accompanied them all through the crafting process, it was all provided to Pedro to ensure that the craft of their Guild's First Official Armor would look as good as it could be.
In fact, their Guild's Logo was even engraved at their shoulder guards, at the forehead area of their helm, at the lower left guard of their thighnear where the scabbards of their sword were placed, and at the handle guard of their swordssimilar to where the bird was located on , Clara's sword.
Well Pedro could not refuse Duke Albert's offer, thus he had no choice but to willingly accept his aid. They might surely attract attention if they wore those armor in the exhibition gas, but they can simply say that they 'paid' a hefty price to acquire such armor and it was not as if other players couldn't obtain such things with the right amount of gold coin.
and Lony's were still of a different case compared to the armors, because the two 'rare' items were sothing that could not be easily bought even with lots and lots of gold.
That aside, their armors only boasted high defense properties. They still have no special effects or such engraved in them. Pedro wanted to use Ragas again on this matter, but he thought otherwise because he knew that doing so would just result in the quick drain of everyone's magical energyof course, except him and Sabrina. They can just simply add so effects later on when they start to learn the proper utilization of their magical energy.
As for the weapons, he's considering asking Ragas to place so effects based on the needs and traits of each of them. It would be good to be their individual trump card on the battlefieldpurposely made so to avoid revealing any of their 'secrets' in this competition.
"This is so cool!" Aldo said as he and Pedro tried their own armors and equipnt. Then, he took a 'picture' of Pedro through the system and sent it to their guildmates. "Our attempt to not stand out was futile! This armors and equipnt are too cool that we'd even be celebrities after our first match!"
"Well It can't be helped. At least, we tried!" Pedro said whilst punching in the air and occasionally doing kickscreating his own combination of attacks. "Besides It's not like these armor and equipnt are not procurable at this stage of the ga. We can use the Adventurer's Guild for a reason and it may even bring us more profit! As for the overall grasp of the armor and the other equipnt, they are quite heavy, but our movents are not restricted by that much compared to ordinary armors."
Aldo simply nodded in response as he drew his sword and tried to do several swings with itsimilar to what he does during his practice. At every strike, Aldo's arms seed like it was being pulled into the ground by a magnetslowing the recovery of his sword and increasing the interval between each of his strikes.
"I didn't think that armors would be these heavy The Knights and Soldiers make it look like these are not heavy. But when you wore it yourself, it's like the weight of every part of your body had increased two or three folds in an instant." Aldo said. Then, he glanced towards Pedro with a worried expression and added, "Won't the girls have difficulty in wearing these armors?"
Pedro simply shook his head in response and said, "It would be difficult for everyone, but the girls are more competitive than us. I assu that either you or Roval would even be the ones who would have the roughest ti with these armors."
At this mont, Pedro also drew his sword to familiarize himself with the changes. First, he was swinging the two-handed sword with his two hands, while saying, "Killer Looks [Talia] might be the youngest and probably the weakest physically but her will and desire to beco stronger than her elder brotherand even and Gentle Breeze [Sabrina}, were enough to allow her to surpass Arvedar in raw strength and combat ability. Well Arvedar had just recovered from his injuries and his strength completely lies on his special abilities, so there was nothing much to expect as of now on his combat ability."
Then, Pedro shifted in using only one hand while swinging the sword around and saying, "As for Direction Idiot [Loren], you know her well ever since Her physical abilities are just behind Gentle Breeze and are even more athletic than you in comparison."
"Aish You don't need to remind of that!" Aldo complained to Pedro.
Pedro simply chuckled in response and said, "Anyway Since everything we need for the 'battle' is completed, and the both of you had already learned a thing or two about the basics of each of your occupations, you and Direction Idiot would join , back to our training area and do so combat training."
"Aish How scary!" Aldo said whilst forcing out a smile. Then, he added, saying, "I heard from the boys that their training was ten tis more difficult compared to our training in the Adventurer's Guild. I have a bad feeling about this 'training'."
Pedro simply smirked in response as he stared at the blade of his sword and said, "It can't be helped! Such training is needed to obtain the strength that everyone dread. Nothing cos easily, my friend!"
Aldo simply sighed in response as they wrap everything upin preparation to send the weapon and equipnt through trade to everyone else. At the sa ti, Pedro paid Blacksmith Prodel and the several seamstresses sent by Duke Albert with his remaining coins. And when everything is done, they headed back to Pedro's Mansion in the Tarala Kingdom, together with his slaves.
