Chapter 135: “New Equipment”
When I returned to the blacksmith’s shop, the dwarf master was standing at the reception. That meant the work was completed. It might seem too early to finish the metalworking job, but production skills worked that way.
The master grinned and nodded, pointing towards the back room.
Upon entering the room with the master, in the center of a space resembling a workshop, a dull-shining full-body armor stood imposingly.
Next to it, there were many small metal plates bound together with leather straps, forming what is commonly known as lamellar armor.
The full-body armor was for Gil, and the lamellar armor was for Wayne, presumably.
I decided to try them on.
The master adjusted the belts and buckles, tailoring the armor to fit Wayne and Gil.
The full-body armor wasn’t as thick as I expected, deriving structural strength from its forged shape. It seemed to be a form of fluted armor. Thanks to this design, it didn’t feel as heavy as it looked, and Gil, with high STR and VIT, wore it effortlessly.
However, the defense was on another level. Wayne’s iron sword, which had been at his waist until this morning, wouldn’t leave a scratch on it.
