The new armor in front of Kiel has a tough style, with short and thick metal edges on the front and side of the helmet. This is a self-defense weapon designed by Kiel for close-in collisions. Moreover, these metal horns also have a higher defensive power, and in a critical moment, they can barely be used to resist the enemy's attack.
Because these places have the thickest metal and the best defense.
In addition, on the shoulders and elbows of the armor, there are triangular spikes on the outside of the forearm. Ganner craftsmen polished the outer edge of these triangular spikes to make them look sharp and shiny.
And at the bottom of the front of the armor skirt, that is, the edge above the knees, there are also a few short metal nails, and the front of the knees also has round nails that look powerful.
A similar design is also found on the toe of the iron-clad cowhide boots. The shiny metal studs make people feel pain just thinking about being kicked.
These are some of the deficiencies Kiel felt after wearing his hard cowhide full-face armor.
Sometimes, when the weapon in his hand is cut on the enemy and cannot be pulled out, and a new enemy is coming close to kill him, he is empty-handed but does not have a suitable weapon to deal a severe blow to the enemy who is very close.
A similar situation is when fighting the enemy on the ground, there is no suitable guy at hand, and you can only rely on the defense power of the armor to attack the enemy.
At that time, Kiel hoped that his armor itself could have some combat power, not to mention the hidden daggers, even if it was one or two more sharp corners on the knees, elbows and helmets. All of them can give him a reliable means of controlling the enemy when fighting close to him.
So, when designing new armor later, he added this much-needed thing to the new armor.
Keir looked at his new armor for a while, and when he was satisfied, he turned around to see what Master Ganna was busy with.
Both sat on a long wooden stool, a piece of hard cowhide armor was fastened to one end by a clip attached to the stool. Ganner held a helmet, while his apprentice held a leg greave.
Ganner was running a red-hot stubby rivet through the inner and outer hides of a hard cowhide helmet, soft and comfortable on the inside and strong and tough on the outside. The different cowhide inside and outside are being connected together by a rivet, and as the shiny and soft rivet passes through the holes punched in the two cowhide from the outside to the inside, the hot rivet burns out a puff of blue smoke.
There is also a small amount of burnt odor.
Ganner quickly used a small round-headed hammer to flatten the rivet inside the helmet.
Dang dang dang, with his fast tapping, the two layers of cowhide inside and outside the helmet were tightly connected together. Of course, there are three other fixed points like this on the helmet, but Keel took a look and found that this was the last place to be fixed.
The hot rivets cooled down quickly, and Ganner sprinkled some water to make the rivets cool faster.
Finally, he rubbed the rivets on the inside of the helmet with a hard and rough stone to polish them smooth and shiny. In this way, the main fixing of a helmet was completed.
Ganner's apprentice is not as proficient as him. Compared with the complicated helmet, the leg greaves in his hands are simpler, but even so, this young man who is about the same age as Kiel has to be careful. Make it with a little concentration, for fear that something might go wrong.
After Ganna finished the work at hand, he stood up to greet Keir.
"I haven't seen you for many days. If you don't come back, I don't know what to do with the final modification of your armor." Ganna rinsed his hands with the clear water at his feet, and then used the coarse cloth apron around his waist After wiping off the putty on his hands, he and Kiel hugged each other.
Keir couldn't wait to urge Ganner to let him put on the armor and try it now.
"Okay, but you have to take off the coat on your body first, and you can only wear some not too thick clothes inside the inner armor."
This point does not need to be explained by the craftsman Ganna. As the designer of the armor, Keir naturally understands it.
So he took off his clothes and pants, carefully hid the money bag, and put the money bag in the inner pocket into the big money bag and tied it up.
At the same time, Ganner also removed the armor parts mounted on the wooden dummy one by one, put them on the ground aside, and finally took off the inner armor on the dummy, and handed it to Keel, who was jumping in the cold.
Keir took off the small leather boots on his feet and kept them on the side. He only wore the rabbit skin wrapping his feet close to his feet. He first took over the inner armor pants and put them on, and then put on the inner armor clothes.
At this time, the inner armor was still a little loose up and down, but as Kiel hung up the tight-fitting metal buckle of the inner armor along with his body, he quickly put on a suitable inner armor.
Considering the season inside the inner armor, Ganner had already prepared a suit of soft animal skins to protect against the cold, so after Kiel put on the inner armor, he didn't feel cold.
Then connect the upper and lower hooks of the inner armor together, and the inner armor is completely worn.
Keir tried to walk a few steps, but he didn't feel any problem. He ran and jumped in the workshop, and made some fighting moves with empty hands, but he didn't find any problems.
All movements are flexible, and there is no restraint of the inner armor on the body.
"Let's try the armor again!" Craftsman Ganna rubbed his hands and became excited, he couldn't wait to hug the heavy armor breastplate with both hands.
Keel also thinks that it is right for a tailor to make the inner armor. After all, they are making clothes that are worn on the body. Although they cannot be used as armor, the inner armor that is worn inside and does not have much defensive power is made. Appropriately, properly.
"Okay, come on."
He also wanted to see what it looked like in his new armor. He took over a somewhat heavy metal breastplate. The upper half of the breastplate that defends the torso is made of large pieces of steel. The outer layer is a harder steel armor block, and the inner layer is slightly elastic. armor.
The two are firmly fixed together. If you want to disassemble it, you can only disassemble it from the inside, and the outside cannot be disassembled at all.
The place where the abdomen needs to move is also the inner and outer layers. However, steel with better defense and lighter weight is used as the main material here, and ordinary iron is used as the wrapping and connecting part of the steel sheet.
The breastplate of the armor that had not been tightened was relatively loose. Kiel lifted it up and put it in over the head, and then passed his hands through the arm holes on both sides.
Boom.
He tapped his chest with his fist and made two dull noises.
Extraordinarily solid.
The breastplate buckles on his waist were connected, and these not only connected the inner armor with the breastplate, but also tightened the breastplate against the inner armor. Keel tried to bend down again, a little awkward, but acceptable.
"Keil, here, here, and here, there are some obstacles and frictions. Wait a minute, let me write down the place." As he said, Ganner dug out the detailed design of the armor in the metal box beside him, and there would be a delay circled and marked with a mark to be modified.
Then, Kiel picked up the trouser armor on the ground, passed the two legs and lifted it between the crotch.
This is an armor part used to protect the vital parts between the thighs and legs, and it has to be worn!
With the protection of this thing, the vital points of the body are not afraid of the enemy's kicking. At the same time, there are openings in the front and back of this part, barely allowing him to wear armor to facilitate excretion.
These things are necessary, he is not a humanoid monster like Lanisa Knight, who can adjust his body circulation according to the needs of the battle. Therefore, people in a combat situation have three urgencies, which are things that have to be considered.
There are metal plates that can be pulled up at the front and back of the crotch, and the front can be pulled up to get a small one. Pull up the one at the back, and you can come to the big one. At the same time, on the inner armor inside the armor, there are also openings that can be opened.
The front is fastened with buttons, and the back is a cloth opening that can be pulled and pushed.
After putting on the leg armor, Keel fastened the leg armor to the lower part of the breastplate with buckles.
Then tighten the armor at the waist so that it fits tightly against the body.
Immediately afterwards, Keel installed the knee part armor with metal spikes on the lower part of the leg armor separately. This is a very complicated area, that is, to ensure sufficient defense power, but also to ensure that the flexible activities of the body are not affected. Both he and Ganner have spent a lot of thought.
In the end, it was made by referring to some of the armor designs of the knights in the city.
Of course, the armor of the knights is overweight, and the corresponding design must be different from the armor of ordinary people like him. Therefore, when Keir copied the design, he removed some parts that he obviously could not use, and simplified it a lot.
After the knee parts were attached, he sat on the solid chair and bent his legs many times without finding anything wrong with the design on the knees. This made both Keir and Ganner very excited.
It seems that the armor of the knights is indeed well designed.
Below the knee is the calf gaiter, this part is much simpler, put it on the leg, then tighten it to fit the calf, and then connect the gaiter to the upper knee part of the armor.
Finally, cowhide boots with iron armor attached.
After putting on the boots, Keir stood up, took two steps, and then ran, jumped, kicked and kicked in the workshop as before. After everything was fine, Ganner handed over the last part of the waist.
It is a skirt armor with iron armor pieces connected together.
This thing is simple. Its skirt armor is hung under a wide belt made of metal and hard cowhide. Kiel looped the belt to the waist, closing the structure similar to the belt buckle in the previous life, and then tidying up the skirt armor. The whole The lower half of the armor is now complete.
"Phew." Keel exhaled. Although all the armor hadn't been put on yet, he could feel that the armor was heavy now.
-
Then came the upper body. Keel first took the arm armor with elbows from Ganner. This part mainly protected the inner shoulders, upper arms and elbows. The connection part is very troublesome, and it is easier with Ganner's assistance, but if it is worn by itself, it will probably take more time.
Next is the arm armor of the forearm. This part is made very wide, mainly because the forearm sometimes takes on a part of the defense function when the shield is not held.
Therefore, the inside of the arm armor here is filled with three layers of soft cowhide, which is used to cushion the impact of impact.
This part is the most delicate. Ganna craftsmen spent a lot of time wrapping the inside and outside of the fingers with nails. Each fingertip is the most difficult to handle. He directly uses the metal part that wraps the entire fingertip to make the fingertips of the glove.
Keel moved his fingers and found that they were very inflexible. But there is no problem with the basic close together, straightening and clenching to hold things.
"Hmm. Well, in fact, this is the only way to go." Kiel finally compromised. Although this is really inflexible, he has no defense. Even if he hits his palm with a small hammer, he still feels a little pain less than.
But in this way, if you want to wear the armor alone, these inflexible gloves can only be put on at the last step.
At this time, Kiel was already covered in solid armor with a metallic color. The craftsman apprentice next to him opened his mouth into an O shape, and his hands were already motionless.
"Master, I want to learn this! This is amazing. It's nothing to wear it on a dummy before, but now it's really amazing to wear it on a human body!" The apprentice got up from the long wooden chair, leaned over and touched it. Round spikes on armor.
"Be careful, some places are quite sharp." Ganner warned, although his mouth was reprimanded, his face was still full of embarrassment.
Keel is also very happy.
Because of the gloves on his palms, it was not convenient for him to move freely, so the last outer shoulder armor and neck armor helmet were put on by Ganner to help put them on.
The outer shoulder armor is actually nothing, just a curved steel sheet with several metal spikes inlaid on the outside, and snapped to the junction of the breastplate and arm armor from the front and back, so that the complicated shoulders can be protected from the outside.
Due to the combat flexibility of the arms, the connection between the breastplate and the arm armor is the most complicated. There are two joints on the front and one joint on the back where the hands can reach.
So there is a need for an outer shoulder armor to protect those connecting mechanisms from being damaged in battle.
Then Ganner opened the neck armor around Kiel's neck, fixed it on the breastplate, and finally closed it on the front side of the neck. The front of the neck needs high defense, so the place where the neck armor closes is left on the side.
"There's only one helmet left. Come on Kele, take it." Ganner handed the half-closed metal helmet with the mouth visor to Kiel.
No assistance was needed for this part, and Keel turned the helmet around and put it on his head.
The inside of the helmet is soft and comfortable. Although the weight is a bit heavier than the previous helmet, correspondingly, the defense is definitely better than the previous helmet he used.
The entire helmet is forged with the best steel, and a bulge is made on the ear to keep the ear from being squeezed. In this way, the helmet can be worn for a long time without ear discomfort. At the same time, seven small holes were punched in the bulge of the ear so that Kiel could hear the sound.
As for the eyes of the helmet, it is different from before. Instead of using a visor the size of the entire face, the eyes are protected with steel plates with many holes. The mouth is pressed with a half-face armor that can be opened and closed, and is used to drink water.
But this time, there are no openings left on the half-face armor. Although it will affect the ability to speak while wearing the helmet, the defense will be stronger than the previous helmet.
After wearing everything, Ganner connected the bottom of the helmet to the neck armor so that Kiel would not feel heavy when wearing it for a long time. Although a full set of armor is really heavy.
Keel sat up in his chair and felt it.
Good guy, the overall weight is about the same as carrying a person on his back, at least forty kilograms.
However, he waved his arms and stretched his legs, and found that apart from the weight, it didn't affect much. But the upper body of the armor, the sense of security brought by the solid and cold metal, is far superior to the previous hard leather armor.
This is a full body armor, after wearing it, the whole body, only some holes in the eyes and ears are exposed, and the other parts are basically protected by thick metal.
Even the soles of the feet are protected by lining steel sheets, not to mention other places. The thickest armor on the whole body is the stomach and heart in the middle of the chest. The outer layer of steel armor and the inner layer of iron armor are double-layered for protection, and there is also a dense inner armor pad inside, and the inner armor is separated by close-fitting clothing.
Beneath the clothes, Keel's strong muscles and strong sternum protected his fragile internal organs.
"Looks great, Keel, move around. Let me see what else is wrong."
Ganna put his hands on his waist and said loudly triumphantly.
He also deliberately turned his head to the door, so that the people from the weapons workshop next door could hear him.
Sure enough, as Kiel moved around the house, several craftsman apprentices from next door appeared at the door.
"What is this? Which knight is here with you?"
The apprentice next door asked curiously.
Kiel chuckled: "I'm not a knight, I'm Kiel. You should still remember me." His voice was muffled, because there was no opening in his mouth, so once he closed his visor, his The sound is distorted.
Obviously, they still have some impressions of Kiel. After all, a young man like Kiel has bought weapons from their weapons workshop several times, and even asked their chief priest craftsman to make him a long sword made of magic materials. Although the craftsmen didn't say it clearly, these apprentices still knew about it.
They didn't come in, but just watched at the door. After all, this workshop is not where they work, even if it is two workshops next to each other, there is actually no communication between the two.
Kiel didn't care about the others, he excitedly followed the instructions of Ganna craftsman, and made a series of movements, all of which were extreme angle movements that would not be used in normal battles. Although it will not be used, the armor must be guaranteed to be completed.
Ganner's apprentice also followed his master's instructions and hit Keel with the largest hammer in the workshop, asking Ganner to check the deformation of each part after the heavy blow and the force of Keir's wear.
Kong! Kong! Kong!
Kiel stood still, maintaining his balance after being attacked.
He didn't feel any discomfort, but he also felt that the strength of the armor apprentice's hands was too weak, and it didn't have the strength to kill people like a real bandit enemy.
"Can you work harder?"
Kiel stood there with his arms folded and muttered dissatisfiedly.
"Ah, Warrior Kiel, I didn't push hard enough? Hey, isn't it because I'm afraid that the new armor made by the master will be broken!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Ganna slapped his apprentice on the head: "What nonsense! How dare you use your power hammer? If you break a broken part, you will repair it? It's not me!"
"Okay Keel, all the actions and checks that need to be done have been done. Look, I found twenty-five places that need to be modified, and it's ready. Let's take off the armor."
Keir was a little bit reluctant, after all, he hadn't played enough with this new armor. This armor is like a new toy for him, how can he put it away if he hasn't played enough.
But this 'toy' is not perfect, and he also felt this, the sluggishness of the movement, the friction noise of the armor parts, and some places that are uncomfortable to wear.
All have to be modified and perfected by Ganner craftsmen who have become more and more professional.
He reluctantly took off the armor parts one by one, and then put on his own clothes after a while. He touched the inner pocket of his clothes and said, 'Hey, where is my little purse for valuable coins? '
He panicked, and it was easy to find for a while.
Or the craftsman Ganna couldn't stand it any longer: "Keir, didn't you put the small money bag into the big money bag?"
After hearing this, Keir touched the large purse containing copper and iron coins~www.mtlnovel.com~ Sure enough, the small purse containing gold and silver coins was inside.
"Phew, I thought I lost it. I just received the bounty for beheading bandits today, but I dare not lose it. I got a lot of money from killing a lot of people."
He said nothing about Kiel's words, but the craftsmen and apprentices who were watching all shuddered.
"Keir, did you participate in the previous militia's action to clear the bandits? How many bandits did you kill?" A curious weapon apprentice asked.
Kiel chuckled: "A dozen or so, I can't remember the exact number, the main thing is beheading a bandit leader, that's the most reward."
"oh."
"so much!"
Everyone was surprised.
"Tell us about it!"
Kiel smiled triumphantly and rubbed his nose: "It's okay to talk, but you have to offer good wine and barbecue."
The apprentices laughed around: "It's easy, you don't know it yet. There is an artisan tavern in our artisan area that only insiders can enter. Let's go there."
Kiel raised his head at Ganna: "Let's go?"
Looking at the messy armor parts in the room, Ganner shook his head a little reluctantly.
But Kiel went on to say: "After you listen to the actual situation of my battle, you can create more armor and armor suitable for battle!"
"Oh, that's the truth." Craftsman Ganna thought for a while: "Then let's go."
So Ganner and his apprentice piled the armor into a pile, found a thick cloth to cover it, and then rested the coals that heated the rivets before, closed the workshop door, and everyone walked to the tavern inside the artisan area.
Keir rubbed his palms, he hasn't been to this place yet, he doesn't know what's delicious and delicious inside, he can't wait.
