EBE Chapter 167 Cicada Wing Armor
Chapter 167 Cicada Wing Armor
Wang Sanchui's obviously thin face became even darker.
But at this moment, this tired face showed a sense of ease and joy that Bai Shaoqiu had never seen before.
"Master, are you going out?"
"Well, do you have anything else to do?"
"Son, please excuse me for a moment. I have something for you!"
Bai Shaoqiu was stunned: "You have already built all the drawings I gave you."
"It's not those things. It's, it's something I made specially for you, young master."
Wang Sanchui looked around and whispered mysteriously, "A piece of armor...maybe it can be useful to the young master."
armor?
Bai Shaoqiu actually asked Dongfang Meng to go back to the palace and get a set of standard military armor.
The thing was too thick and heavy, and very awkward to wear, but Bai Shaoqiu still planned to take it with him on the road.
After all, the defensive capabilities are still very strong.
It's better than losing your life.
Bai Shaoqiu even planned to enter the East Gate of Kyoto wearing that armor!
I just want to show some people that I am just a weak scholar who is afraid of death. Maybe this will make those people relax their guard against me.
Wang Sanchui only has a sack on his body... How can this thing hold such a large piece of armor?
Bai Shaoqiu looked at Wang Sanchui suspiciously, and took Wang Sanchui into the main house of the main courtyard.
Wang Sanchui put the sack on the table, turned around and closed the door.
This is becoming even more mysterious!
Bai Shaoqiu was very curious.
Then Wang Sanchui carefully untied the saddlebag, revealing a dark, thin piece of clothing...
Bai Shaoqiu's eyes widened. "You call this armor?"
Wang Sanchui picked up the armor with both hands.
"Master, it is... a cicada wing armor!"
"As thin as a cicada's wing, but its defensive capabilities are three times stronger than the standard military armor!"
"Especially after using the Hundred Refinements Forging Method that you taught me, young master, this cicada wing armor is thinner and has a higher defense."
"If you don't believe me, you can try chopping it with a sword."
Bai Shaoqiu was shocked!
He took the cicada wing armor. It was not as light as a cicada wing in his hand. After all, it was made of steel sheets. It was still a little heavy, but much lighter than the armor in the army.
What's more, it's thin!
Also, because its nail plates are connected by beef tendons, it is very elastic!
It's very thin and stretchy, which means it can be worn inside a dress and barely noticeable over it.
Bai Shaoqiu was very happy.
But in the end, we have to verify whether this thing has any defensive effect.
He hung the cicada wing armor on the wall, thought for a while, took out a military machete, raised the knife, and turned to look at Wang Sanchui.
I'm still a little worried.
After all, this thing is exquisitely made. Even if it doesn't have much defensive power, in Bai Shaoqiu's eyes it is also a collectible.
If someone dug this thing out of their tomb a thousand years later, I think they would be shocked by the ancient forging technology.
"It would be a shame if it was broken!"
Wang Sanchui: "Don't worry, chop it, it won't break anything!"
“…Did he really chop it off?”
"Well, that's really cut!"
Bai Shaoqiu swung his knife and slashed it hard on the cicada wing armor.
"Qiang...!"
A loud noise was heard, and Bai Shaoqiu's heart tightened. He took a step forward and took a closer look at the cicada wing armor.
Wow, there is only an imperceptible mark left on the nail plate!
That’s amazing!
After thinking about it, Bai Shaoqiu swung the knife again.
"Clang clang clang!" Three knives!
He looked at the cicada wing armor again, reached out and touched it carefully, but there were still only imperceptible traces!
He still looks weak, but his strength is not small!
In Lao Yu's words, if he were placed in the army, there would be few people who could be his match.
Four full-strength strikes dealt negligible damage to this armor...
If it was standard military armor, he firmly believed that these four strikes would be enough to deform it.
Its defense against slashing is obviously much stronger than standard armor, so what about its defense against piercing?
Bai Shaoqiu took three steps back and raised the knife again!
He rushed forward!
A knife stabbed fiercely into the armor...
"Puff!" There was a muffled sound.
He put away his knife, walked forward, took a closer look, and immediately burst into laughter.
There was only a tiny dot on that thin nail plate!
Of course, a single stab of the sword wouldn't be enough to break through the standard armor of the army, but with such a strong force, the armor would definitely be dented, and there would definitely not be just this tiny mark.
Therefore, the defensive power of this cicada wing armor is indeed much stronger than standard armor!
Wang Sanchui was extremely confident in the cicada wing armor he had made. He had been watching from the side without showing any sign of nervousness.
At this moment, he bowed and said:
"Master, this armor can probably withstand a full-strength attack from a second-rank expert... What I mean is that even if the enemy's knife or sword hits you, it won't cause a fatal injury, but you will still be injured."
"It can dissipate energy, but it can't protect against internal energy."
"So... its greatest benefit is actually allowing you to survive a little longer at critical moments."
"This may give the young master some opportunities."
Bai Shaoqiu understood.
When facing a martial arts master, you can allow yourself to withstand two more blows.
Wearing this thing is almost like having an extra tube of blood.
There are many masters in the world, but there are not many masters who are truly above the first rank.
This thing can withstand a full-strength attack from a second-rank master... I think internal injuries are inevitable, but the person is still alive!
This thing can be called a defensive artifact!
"nice one!"
Bai Shaoqiu put down the knife, took off the cicada wing armor, looked at it carefully again, and turned to look at Wang Sanchui:
"This thing... not many people can make it, right?"
“How difficult is it to build?”
If there were more, if all the armor in the army was replaced with this cicada wing armor, the soldiers' combat capabilities and survivability would be improved unimaginably -
It is very light.
This means that soldiers can be faster and more agile.
Its defensive capabilities far exceed those of standard military armor. If it were made into a full body armor, the soldiers charging into battle would not have to worry about their lives at all.
"Master, I'm the only one who can make this cicada wing armor... and it's very difficult to make."
Bai Shaoqiu looked at Wang Sanchui deeply. This blacksmith he picked up in the West Market was quite experienced!
Wang Sanchui didn't say anything, and Bai Shaoqiu didn't ask.
Who doesn't have a secret?
The fact that he could make such a cicada wing armor for himself is enough to show that he cares about himself very much.
This is enough.
Of course, such talents must be retained.
Bai Shaoqiu patted Wang Sanchui's shoulder and said, "Go back and bring your wife to Baicao Garden... Is your son used to living in Zhuxi?"
Wang Sanchui quickly bowed again:
"Master, I haven't been out for a while, so I don't know how my son is doing in Zhuxi... All I want is for Xiaochui to learn to read."
"As for studying, Xiaochui is not cut out for it."
"I hope he can learn more words and understand more about life by being with Master Si. When he grows up, he can come back to me. I want to pass on my blacksmithing skills."
"This is our ancestral precept, I dare not disobey!"
Bai Shaoqiu pondered for three breaths and nodded:
"That's fine. Every profession has its own top talent. With your family's inherited craftsmanship, I can't guarantee that you will become rich, but you will definitely have no problem having enough food and clothing."
"Come, come, help me put on this cicada wing armor, Master. I need to go out for a while."
