Chapter 406
Scale arested, it was armor similar to the scales of a fish Several small pieces of iron plates were put on leather straps and then joined together with thick cloth or leather The range of activity was high because it allowed freeswords and other sharp weapons It had resistance to stabbing and slashing as options
But the basic defense poas inferior when compared to other heavy armor In particular, it was difficult to avoid a fatal injury if the joints where the iron plates were joined together were attacked
‘In the end, the gap between iron plates is the biggest problem’
That’s why tankers hardly wore scale ar classified as heavy ares, but there were also obvious liht of a way to overcome the limitations of scale armor It was thanks to the hint from the troll lord’s breastplate
‘If I make es of scale ar the deficient defense’
Typical scale armor was one layer of joined iron plates The moment the weapon struck between the plates, the defense was forced to fail The troll lord’s breastplate minimized this weakness with a double layer of iron plates Was it possible that blacks blacksmiths also knew that multiple layers of iron plates would increase the defense The reason why they didn’t make it…
‘The higher the iron content, the higher the weight and the more lies inherent to scale ar scale ar to be inconvenient anyway, they her defense
‘But the items I make are different’
Black iron o tihter than iron
‘I can use this to make the plates as thinly as possible’
He would ht and easy to move in, even if the iron plates were doubled or tripled This wasn’t an easy task Black iron s Even Khan, whose blacksmith skill was advanced level 8, wouldn’t be able to smelt black iron so thinly and shape hundreds of scales
However, Grid was different Grid’s blacksendary level 7 and his dexterity was close to 3,000 For hi black iron was just as hard as ordinary blacksend’
Co s when it came to combat However, as a blacks! Ttang!
The taste of holding reater co monsters Grid’s concentration rose rapidly as he started hitting the black iron on the anvil
‘The width of the iron plate shouldn’t be too wide’
The joints between the iron plates increased the flexibility of the scale armor Grid wanted the iron plates to have a narroidth, in order to maximize the characteristics However, the s time
In particular, the number of iron plates increased because he needed to make three layers It was impossible to ether, even if it took two full days
But Grid was a crafts workload? It didn’t matter It was necessary if he wanted to !
Small and thin black iron pieces were refined in Grid’s hands The appearance, size, and shine reon scales
‘Beautiful scales’
‘The scales are at least three times smaller than the scales of typical scale armor, but the details are much better The technique of the duke is really delicate’
‘Wow… It seems like he hastoand difficult work forblacksendary Blacksmith’s Patience skill has been activated]
[Concentration, stamina and defense will rise to the extreendary Blacksendary Blacksmith’s Breath has increased the effectiveness of your production items]
The roosters cried out at dawn Beyond the blacksmith’s , the spires of the castle rose in the distance However, Grid didn’t take a break
Ttang! Ttang!
Grid relied on his high sta the iron plates He devoted hiht again Excludingtime, he never released his hammer
Then two days later
[You have successfully made the ‘Scale Armor’]
[The structure is different fro the scale armor]
[The function of your scale armor is phenomenal]
[Scale Arendary blacksmith Grid
Unlike conventional scale armor, it has a triple layer of iron plates
