Chapter 58 Perfect Set

"I'm sorry, my eldest and second eldest sisters were really too rude. Did they scare you?"

Panting, Sanxue returned to her room.

Her skin was red, and visible wisps of steam rose from her body.

Judging from the commotion outside, she must have put in a lot of effort to appease Da Xue and Er Xue.

Rod noticed that her forehead was covered in beads of sweat, and her flowing hair was stuck together with the sweat.

After thinking for a moment, I picked up the towel next to me and leaned over to gently wipe her cheeks.

A comfortable sensation was felt on my face.

Sanxue, who was close to him, had her face, which was only slightly flushed, suddenly become burning hot, so red that it looked like it was about to bleed.

After wiping her face clean, Rod pointed out the window, indicating that he wanted to go out.

"Yes, I've already spoken to the villagers. They won't hurt you. Do you need me to come with you?"

Rod cupped one side of her cheek in his palm, the warm touch intoxicating, and Sanxue said in a daze.

Seeing that her steps were unsteady, Rod guessed that the fight had left her exhausted.

He shook his head and simply helped Sanxue lie down on the bed.

Sanxue did not refuse. Her agile body, which could break a tree with a diameter of more than a meter and use it as a toy, was now light as a feather and was pushed down onto the bed like cotton.

Cover Sanxue with the blanket.

As she covered half her face with the blanket and gazed at him with shy eyes, Rod walked out of the room.

Two people were lying on the sofa in the hall, Da Xue and Er Xue, one lying horizontally and the other vertically.

Their clothes were tattered and torn, and their eyes darted around as they were laid out together.

He glanced at them with amusement, and as he passed the fireplace, Rod picked up a piece of charcoal and fed it to the ash rats inside.

Let it provide continuous warmth to the room.

He then walked out of the gate and, familiar with the way, arrived at the blacksmith's shop in the center of the village.

The dwarf blacksmith was lying on a recliner in his blacksmith shop, half of his body hanging out, listlessly chugging down a mouthful of strong liquor.

"You're finally here, kid! Come and help!"

When she saw Rhodes approaching, her face lit up with joy.

He threw the strong liquor into the iron furnace and jumped up amidst the erupting fireballs.

A wave of heat swept over him, and Rhodes shielded his face with his hands as he followed the dwarf blacksmith into the scorching blacksmith's shop.

A white steel sword was placed on the shelf next to it.

In the firelight, the blade gleamed with an extremely sharp, cold light.

This is the very weapon that Rhodes saw the dwarf blacksmith forging when he first entered this place.

The quality has reached Level One Perfection.

If Rhodes had used this sword against the wolf-hatted man that night, it would have been enough to easily cut through the enemy's knight-level armor.

Rhodes also noticed that there were many other weapons placed next to the sword.

Swords, longswords, one-handed axes, and more are all available.

However, they all have obvious defects, as if they were abandoned after being forged halfway.

The dwarf blacksmith noticed his gaze and looked at the scrap steel as well, saying with displeasure:

"These are all failed attempts I made myself later. Damn it, I don't have enough energy to forge a weapon of perfect quality on my own."

"But I already have a premonition! If I succeed a few more times and forge that guardian knight's white steel armor to perfect quality, I will be able to step into that realm!"

She said this with confidence, and then took out a stack of forging blueprints.

"Take a good look at this, we'll get started in a bit!"

Regardless of whether Rod was willing or not, she shoved it at him and then hurriedly ran off to prepare the materials.

"Guardian Knight Armor Set." Rhode sat on the table, holding the blueprints, and began to peruse them.

The dwarven blacksmith handed him a complete set of light steel armor, called "Ice Guardian".

The blueprints include a helmet, arm armor, chest armor, and leg armor, all of which are of Tier 1 perfect quality.

Once fully completed, it can create a magic circuit and activate a spell called [Ice and Snow Protection].

Significantly reduces cold damage and slightly reduces physical damage.

"Armor with maxed-out cold resistance."

After reviewing the blueprints, Rod got a general idea of ​​what was going on.

While ordinary Tier 1 armor is sturdy, this is due to the superior properties of white steel.

Such a magical effect, which can be called magic, does not exist.

This is exclusive to the perfect-grade armor set, a masterpiece of a high-level dwarven craftsman.

When Rhode turned to the last page of the armor blueprints, he was surprised to find that it was not a set description, but a proclamation.

"A decree from the Royal City of Eternal Winter is hereby proclaimed to all towns and villages in the Land of Ice and Snow."

"Select the strongest warrior under the age of twenty to travel to the royal city for a martial arts tournament within a year. The winner will become the guardian knight of the born princess?"

It was a hieroglyphic script similar to that of the Northern Frost Duchy, and Rhodes translated it word by word according to the context.

"The 'Ice and Snow Guardian' blueprint is included. Participants must equip the Guardian Knight Armor to qualify for the competition."

After reading the contents of the last page, Rod put down the blueprints and pondered their meaning.

The princess mentioned in this edict, barring any unforeseen circumstances...

She is probably the one the Sanxue sisters were talking about, the one whose situation is similar to their own.

"Eternal Winter Royal City, this should be the dominant power in this spirit world, it's a pity that I've never heard of it in the kingdom's history." Rhodes shook his head regretfully.

The Kingdom of Rosa has a history of just over three hundred years.

Further back is the family history of the Rothdale family, who migrated from the south.

As for the history of the North, even after the Northern Frost Duchy was incorporated, it can only be traced back to the chaotic wars between kings five hundred years ago.

Rhodes had never heard of any records related to the Everwinter City.

But the princess's ability to wield such influence only deepened Rhodes's suspicions about her key.

Although he was very curious about her, Rod knew that it had nothing to do with him at the moment.

The focus now should be on learning the forging techniques for stainless steel.

After the dwarven blacksmith had neatly arranged the steel, mithril, and other materials, Rhodes came to her side.

Amidst the surging magical flames spewed forth by the Ash Furnace Rats, the two began their initial attempt at the armor set.

Compared to a white steel sword, a complete set of armor is several times more difficult to assemble.

Even with Rhodes' help, failures still occurred frequently in the blacksmith's shop.

The material fusion requirements of stainless steel mean that this type of steel will be scrapped after one failure.

Unless it is used as ordinary steel, there is no possibility of it being melted down and remanufactured.

Fortunately, the dwarf blacksmith was patient.

After each failed forging attempt, he would describe the key techniques of forging white steel to Rod, repeating them over and over again.

This is both a way of repaying his help and a way for me to identify my own shortcomings.

There are real-life examples to demonstrate, along with explanations of the content.

During this process, Rhodes efficiently learned relevant skills with the help of his True Sight, absorbing knowledge like a sponge.

At the same time, by comparing this with their own alchemical magic, they can gain a deeper understanding.
