Chapter 167 Chapter 167 Good Face
"You build a training spear, between lance and Between the short spears - isn't that just the spear? Huh? This length, between the lance and the spear? Youngster, do you think you are very smart?"

Dagon tilted his head slightly, looking at the person in front of him suspiciously Jiangu clansman. His name is Cole, and he calls himself the Forging Master. He currently presides over the student equipment department of the elite Academy run by the elves. Man is his subordinate.

There is a rule in the student equipment department that all new forging needs must be approved by the master craftsmen of their respective races, and Cole is responsible for this part of the Jiangu clansman's business. He tugged at the beard and looked the head. "Youngster, this thing is not necessary. Either you use the lance or you use the spear, both are enough."

Dagon shook his head firmly. "I want this length and diameter, and weight requirements. I'm used to training like this."

"Okay, it's not difficult for you to spend money anyway." Cole shook it. Bell, called Mann over, and said to him: "This kid wants to build a pole. It's a boring job. It's just you who will do it."

"Ah? It's me again? My battle skill guard The hand isn't finished yet..."

Cole frowned and stared at the table with three hits, roaring: "Your martial skill gauntlet, martial skill gauntlet? Thinking about building something new all day long Come out, is it useful? You are too arrogant, you always think your wisdom is higher than the sum of all the craftsmen of the Jiangu clan! Shut your mouth and complete this simple task. Just some iron rods with cloth on the front bread. Model weapons, Got it?"

"Okay..." Man snorted, tilting his head to the side.

"Master Cole," Dagon said, "Because of my training, I also have to make a visor to prevent sticks from poking my eyes. It's a very simple thing, because it has to match the shape of the helmet, so it has to be customized. "

"Man, do it together, it won't take much time. This kind of model equipment will not be used to ask me for approval in the future. It's a waste of time. I have to continue to pray to Spiritual God!"

Leaving Cole's office, Dagon and Mann smiled at each other, then quickly closed their smiles together, one after the other came to the workplace. At this point, with no one else around, Mann asked Dagon what he wanted these model sticks for.

"It's for training the martial skill, of course," Dagon said. "When training the martial skill, you can't just imagine it, and the strength and speed training alone doesn't improve me much, so I want to set it up in the room. The imaginary enemy. It looks like a pendulum, I can practice dodging and look in all directions." The rope swinging back and forth, with iron bars hanging from it, hit the central Dagon from all directions, and he had to look in all directions while dodging back and forth. "But the sticks will collide and get entangled, so how do you train next?"

"I lose if the sticks collide or get entangled." In order not to expose the tactics of the No. 15 pothole regiment , Dagon can only continue to cover up. "It's not that difficult to just dodge. The only thing that can really improve me is the control of the scene. For example..."

By this time, it was Mann who felt uncomfortable. He waved his hands again and again and said: "Don't say it, these must have been taught by Tormund, right? He is a weapon master, and you are also a good young man. I believe in your training methods. In the future, don't open your mouth to come. , so as not to be learned."

"Uncle Man, I believe in you. Besides, this is not a powerful thing, so don't worry."

"Talk less than talk more. Okay. It's my fault. When I see you, I feel kind, and then I talk a lot." Ma En tugged at his beard and said, "I think the parameters of your stick are very simple. You just need to pinch a mold to cast it first, and then beat it. Does it need to be quenched?"

"No, it's just length, shape and weight. If possible, put a loop around the back 1/4/2022 and in the middle so I can thread the rope. "

"Okay, it's very simple. If you start doing it now, you'll be fine in the evening." Mann said, "And what shape do you want for your visor?"

Dagon took out and unfolded the parchment from his arms, and pointed the figure above to Mann. At first, Mann only felt that the style of the visor was strange. After all, the big face plate, the cheeky face, the high straight nose bridge and the small holes made it more like a funny mask. But with Dagon's explanation, he gradually realized the design concept of this mask, and began to be secretly frightened.

"Facial arrow-proof armor... sigh, if it can be done, it's a good thing." Mann said: "Puncture resistance has always been the main problem that face armor needs to face, and even armor protection is still in place. Above the piercing hammer."

Dagon nodded and said: "Yes! Arrows can be fired from a distance, but armor piercing hammers and other weapons can't be fired, only close combat can be used. Can melee combat prevent It's not about the visor, but the martial skill."

"until now also uses the visor that Jiangu craftsmen want to make to prevent arrows, but the material is too thick to be seen, and the weight exceeds a certain amount. Restrictions will result in an overall disadvantage. Not to mention the field of view, the center of gravity of the head is not right, and the neck can't bear that kind of weight at all, let alone more impact."

"From the material , only adamantine can balance protection and weight." Mann said: "You father, I mean Lord Igor, he has an adamantine helmet with a visor on it, in the style of a Basilisk. That visor His protective ability is very good, but he always thinks that he blocks his line of sight and can't see the overall situation of the battlefield. I remember your father - your adoptive father Tormund - also always thinking about this matter. When you see other people in the infinite labyrinth, you will always go to Look at the helmet."

"Haha, my father is like that." Dagon said, "The original idea of this design was indeed from my father."

"Okay, yes If you say this, I think this visor can be successful. Until now, the main limitation of the arrow-proof visor is not the material, but the design and structure. I think you have a play, at least its general direction is right. Now it seems that this small The hole eyes are the bright spot, how come the more you look, the more cute you are?"

Dagon tugged at his beard and could only respond with a smile. The word "cute" is not suitable for visor. Generally, the more hideous the visor, the better. The more imposing manner, the more timid the enemy will be. Wait...it seems...

"Uncle Man, can you modify the other parts except the nose and eyes to make expressions?"

"You are underestimating Me? Asking something so simple?" Mane pretended to be angry, but snorted with a real show, and said, "What expression do you want? The fangs and bloody tongue I made were widely praised, and everyone said they were vivid."

"Funny expression. It's the kind of expression that makes people laugh at first sight. The funnier the better, the funniest can't concentrate one's mind." Dagon said: "On the battlefield, the meaning of being hideous or not being hideous is irrelevant. Big. You think, everyone is face covered in blood, and maybe other people's intestines and eyeballs are hanging on their shoulders. It makes no difference whether this mask is vicious or not. But a person who is covered in blood but has a funny face will play a role in What's the effect?"

Ma En fought a cold war, he thought of many words, such as perversion, mental disorder, lunatic... none of them are good words. Make a funny face? What kind of weird idea is this?

"On the battlefield, whoever laughs and who unloads will suffer." Dagon further elaborated his thoughts, saying: "For example, I wear a mask, I grit my teeth, and treat myself Say, my hideousness is enough. At this time, there is no mask, the opponent is actually the same. But my mask makes the other face laugh, and I can't see it, behind the mask is still the hideousness of spare no effort, Isn't this also an advantage?"

"Laughing at the other side to death?" Mann started to laugh just thinking about that scene. "Well, yes, haha, that's it. If you have a weird funny face with a particularly tense body language, the person opposite will definitely feel uncomfortable. How did you come up with this sly plan?"

"You said the visor has cute eyes, that adjective inspired me." Dagon said, "There are two questions now, one is how good is its arrow resistance, and the other is how to be more funny. "

Man sat down, tugging at his beard and thinking. He said: "The general direction of the anti-arrow structure is right. Just do some more tests. Leave this to me. I think you have provided some angle numbers. Is this what Tormund said?"

These were calculated by Dagon himself, with Rhett's help in it. "Yes, even if these numbers are not optimal, they should not be far off. If you make a batch first, it will be very good if it can play a basic role. It is impossible to give arrows a chance at all, right? Except for bows and arrows, don't forget There's also a heavy crossbow."

"I can't forget it! The little child's mouth is neither light nor heavy..." When Ma En scolded, it was soft, but his love and happiness were heavy. "As for the expression, I have an idea. Remember the dwarf mentor Chihoro Dongdong I mentioned to you? He often arranges various Illusion Techniques to simulate the expressions and movements of various people, which is vivid. He should be the most Know what kind of expression is the funniest and the most laughable."

"You want to go to him for help?" Dagon thought for a while, and said nodded: "Also, you must find a professional for professional matters. Do it. But don't say it's used on the visor, find another reason."

"Well, don't worry, I have a way." Mann said: "Since you mentioned him, Then I just happened to tell you. Sorry, Chihoro wasn't convinced, he said he was busy and didn't want to teach you about spell and basic quality assessment."

"It's okay, I just came, I have time. And I'm going to the priest's diving technique class now to sit in on the class. There are also spell things there, just in time to make up the class. As for the martial skill, you don't have to worry about me."

"Yes." Man said : "Now that it's settled, I'll start work. Come on, give me a hand. You know the basics of casting, right?"

"A little bit." No chance to practice."

"Isn't that right?"
