Astartes of the Bear School

Chapter 1247 1219. Forging Mystical Knowledge

In the eyes of Lan and Berengar, the local armor style of the New World is actually "too exaggerated and visual".

But this is not because the craftsmen’s aesthetic taste is deliberately pursuing exaggeration, but rather an aesthetic tendency that is naturally cultivated in this environment.

The goal of the New World Survey Team is to explore the secrets of the New World's ecology. They compete and cooperate with countless monsters on this continent.

Monster materials are very important materials in this world, and are even one of the pillars of materials science in this world.

Just like the leader of the second group, he was slightly inferior in his ability to control the performance of steel, which was seen by Berengar at a glance.

But when it comes to how to properly handle and use biological materials, there is no one more professional than him.

As a craftsman in this world, you must be good at using monster materials.

So it goes without saying that in all the armor sets of the investigation team, there are very obvious traces of biological materials.

Scale armor, gloves and boots made of monster claws, helmets and shoulder armor, and knee pads made of monster shells.
The patterns of monsters' scales can be seen everywhere on the equipment. The monsters' shells and claws are basically slightly polished in appearance and then installed after they become a fit.

Its style is so rough and wild that basically once a person has seen the monster itself, he or she can recognize the armor made of the monster's materials at a glance without any introduction.

Because the armor retains too many biological characteristics of the monsters.

The biological characteristics of those monsters, each with its own style but basically all wild and savage, appear on human armor, and the evaluation of "exaggerated" is almost inevitable.

For example, the set of Triceratops armor has two iconic sharp horns of the Triceratops simply ground down and installed on the shoulder armor. Two thick, khaki-colored horns over one meter long are placed on the shoulders.

"Is this still fierce?" The leader of the second group shook his head and sighed, as if he was puzzled as to why his design was so 'exaggerated'. "I have obviously been very restrained."

Berengar said, "We have several versions of the design. Although I have revised it several times, this one is still the 'least conspicuous' one."

As he spoke, the old demon hunter looked at the one-eyed bald man and shrugged helplessly.

Compared to him, Berengar's previous career as a demon hunter made him better understand Lan's need for armor.

But both parties are highly skilled craftsmen, so how can it be so easy to compromise between their styles?
After much negotiation, we finally reached a compromise.

I decided on the one Lan En is holding now.

However, during this process of mutual adjustment, Berengar must have been influenced by the other party, so when this drawing was placed in front of Lan En, he could still see the local style at a glance.

While comparing the force analysis given by Mentos on his retina, Lan En deleted and added to the shape of the armor.

"It's fine if you guys added a helmet, but why this style?"

Lan En complained weakly.

He figured it out, although Berengar's original armor design style should be simple, which is the conventional style of the magical Middle Ages.

But after coming to this world, communicating with local craftsmen, and seeing such biological materials with great creative potential, he also felt a little "excited".

And the evidence is that Lann pushed the drawing in his hand into Berengar's face, and his finger was pointing at the helmet of the armor draft.

It looked like a skull with a crown.

Lan En's expression said, "So you are also a two-thorn ape," which made Berengar turn his head unconsciously.

"This is a copy of the Wild Hunt helmet, right?" Lann brought the blueprint closer. "What are you doing here, folklore art?"

The old witcher continued to defend himself in a low voice.

"How can you say 'copying' this craftsman's work? It's borrowing! This is borrowing!"

"Didn't you say that last time? The Wild Hunt is not a magical phenomenon, but a group of intelligent creatures with advanced technology. So it's normal to borrow their armor design!"

"I'll learn from you!"

Lan En complained expressionlessly.

My goodness, I just said that the local blacksmith’s aesthetic style is too exaggerated, and now you, a guy with thick eyebrows and big eyes, do this to me?
The armor made by the blacksmiths of the New World is at least as rough and wild as the monsters from which it is made, but after adding Berengar, it goes straight for the image of "Ghost Knight"!
Lan is a demon hunter who often travels between different worlds and is basically unfamiliar with the place at the beginning.

Wearing this armor?
The opening scene is the anti-party, right?
Can this be played?
Lan held his forehead and opened and closed his mouth.

Normally, when he first arrived in a new world, he didn't even dare to drink potions.

I was just afraid that after drinking the potion, the witcher's body would react - that is, the toxins would accumulate in the blood vessels around the eyes, making his face pale and his eye sockets black - making him look evil.

Although we shouldn't judge people by appearance, it is undeniable that an evil face will definitely increase strangers' vigilance, or even fear, and thus bring trouble.

Lan En looked at the draft drawing in his hand again, and then looked at Berengar several times. If he wore this outfit and this helmet and ran around,
"Berengar, I don't think I've done anything wrong to you."

"Hey? What are you talking about?" Berengar's long face turned red, and he quickly snatched the draft drawing from Lan's hand, "If you don't want the helmet, then don't do it."

The leader of the second group next to him opened his mouth to say something.

In fact, this helmet, according to the conventional design of the local survey team's craftsmen, is an essential part of a set of equipment.

But not for the Demon Hunter.

"Anyway, these dragon scales and dragon skin are already dead. They have no life, and they don't have the [Monster Essence] you mentioned. Your whole set of effects is useless. You still have to rely on mine."

Berengar spread his hands to the leader of the second group.

The craftsmen of the survey team learned their skills in the Old World. The Hunter's Guild has compiled a complete set of standards for equipment through a long period of time and countless hunts.

How many equipment parts can carry how much [Monster Essence], and what effect can be achieved by carrying how much [Monster Essence], these are basically understood.

This is the 'suit effect' when the survey team makes equipment.

That's why the craftsmen of the survey team tend to keep the integrity of a set of armor when forging it.

All of Lan En's original master-level Bear School armor was removed and placed aside.

The leader of the second group also measured Lan En's body data.

The three of them stood in front of the Witcher School armor that had been taken off and laid out in a row, looking at the draft drawing together.

Because Smaug's body tissues are already dead and the local [Monster Essence] technology cannot be used, there is no doubt that Berengar will take the lead in technology this time.

It also allowed him to vent his anger about [Muddy Flow] being transformed without any warning.

The old demon hunter looked at the row of armor parts laid out in front of him and began to explain to the one-eyed bald man beside him how the mystical power under the magic alchemy system worked on the armor.

He briefly explained to the leader of the second group the production process of the armor parts, the significance of these production processes in alchemy, and the final effect that could be achieved.

"Recycle the chaotic magic that has been formed and emitted, and then the next step is the knowledge of the Bear School."

Berengar took the bearskin collar of the Grandmaster suit, pushed aside the thick and shiny bear hair, and revealed the skin underneath the hair. There were rune patterns on it, and showed it to the two people beside him.

"When the dwarves designed the armor for the Bear School, Anahad must have given them his own knowledge as a reference."

"Using the knowledge of the Bear School, the dwarves devised a method to recycle and utilize the scattered chaos magic to form a spontaneous [Quen Seal]."

Berengar's narration went from simple to complex, causing the leader of the second-term group, who was learning this kind of knowledge for the first time, to nod his head continuously.

The opening of the occult course even attracted all the apprentices in the processing house to gather here, wanting to listen to the techniques of the other world and the mysterious 'magic and alchemy'.

While explaining the design concept and origin of this set of armor, Berengar was stubborn as usual, not forgetting to poke the one-eyed man beside him.

The old witcher turned his long face to the side and spoke jokingly.

"Don't be fooled by the fact that you have a lot of experience and knowledge in using monster materials with ridiculous vitality. But in the field of mysticism, you are still outsiders."

"You don't know how to deal with the curse on the materials, you don't know how to protect yourself when using materials with alien energy, and you don't know how to deal with the resentment or obsession on weapons and armor."

"You didn't know anything before, but you dared to use a wild ritual to forge that state of [Muddy Flow], tsk tsk tsk."

Berengar was amazed.

"That sword must have hit something incredible. According to what you told me, it can disturb your mind and even affect your dreams even if the malice is not strong. This power is not easy to deal with."

The old witcher looked at Lan En first before he said the second half of the sentence. Seeing that Lan En kept silent as if he had not heard anything, he knew that this matter probably could not be discussed, so he restrained himself and did not ask any more questions.

The second half of the sentence was addressed to the leader of the second group.

Although his career as a witcher was not successful, he was still knowledgeable, thanks to Vesemir's indoctrination.

No curse or monster can be mentioned by name or explicit, either of which is not to be trifled with.

Since Lan En has already chopped the other person, he should control his unnecessary curiosity.

"You were able to complete the smelting using a crude ritual that only looked at the appearance. I have to say you are really lucky."

Berengar teased the leader of the second-term group next to him, while the other was stroking his steel-brush-like beard with a look of learning.
