Chapter 132 133.Thick Leather Armor

Claire jumped nimbly, dodged the wooden hammer in Roy's hand, looked at Roy with some confusion and asked:

"Roy, have you received special training these two days?"

"No." Roy put down the wooden hammer in his hand and shook his numb arm.

Claire said with some confusion: "Why can't I find your flaw?"

Roy looked at the wooden shield in his hand and said to Claire: "There are always the same moves, and no changes are allowed. We are all so familiar with it. When you step forward, I know what's behind you." The action is just raising a shield, how difficult can it be?"

Claire didn't say anything after hearing what Roy said.

The two continued to train, but this time Roy was in charge of offense and Claire was in charge of defense...

Roy held the gavel across his chest, stepped forward and smashed it down towards Claire.

Claire knew exactly what Roy would do next, but Roy had a mallet in his hand, and the long dagger in his hand couldn't be blocked at all, so he could only dodge backwards.

Roy then swung his log shield and hit Claire's chin.

Claire could only take one more step back. This time he was a little embarrassed. Roy used the mallet and shield to retreat dozens of steps. Finally, Claire sat on the grass unwillingly and complained to Roy:

"Why do you always use a gavel...Hey! Hey, hey...I'm just saying, why do you need to change the stick?"

Roy put the gavel back on the weapon rack, picked a wooden stick as thick as his arm from the side, and swung it twice. He felt that this weapon was much lighter than the gavel...

If you want to swing a wooden hammer, you must have sufficient arm strength, but a wooden stick obviously does not need this.

And the most important thing is the scepter he hides under the bed. Regardless of its length and thickness, it is more like a wooden stick.

So Roy decided to change the training weapon to a wooden stick...

He waved the wooden stick in his hand a few times, then said to Claire with a smile:

"I suddenly felt that this was more suitable for me."

Claire looked at the long dagger in her hand, and suddenly felt the urge to change it to a long sword.

Think about it or forget it, after all, all my usual exercises are focused on this long dagger...

"Well, you always have a little surprise for me."

Claire said somewhat speechlessly.

…

The second lesson is the modern history of elves.

Just as the class bell rang, Princess Ophelia walked in from the outside holding textbooks, and all students had to hand in their outdoor practice class homework.

In addition, this class also requires a study group to stand on the podium and describe Castle Ellington in an all-round way.

When Princess Ophelia first entered the lecture theater, she glanced at Roy. When she said this, she looked at Roy again who was sitting with other members of Group 16...

Roy suddenly had a bad feeling.

Sure enough, Princess Ophelia's eyes fell on all the members of Group 16, and then asked everyone to come to the stage.

This time, Team 16 is responsible for telling everyone about Castle Ellington.

In fact, no group can surpass the sixteen groups in their investigation and detailed understanding of Castle Ellington.

As the team leader, Edith stood in front of all the team members. While everyone was waiting for the podium, Edith made some arrangements for the introduction to Ellington Castle.

Including its architectural style, history, geographical location, art culture, political influence, etc...

Of course, the most exciting thing here is the life story of Earl Amelia, the owner of Castle Ellington. It can be said that Castleton City was founded by this Earl himself.

As a new city in the Silver Moon Dynasty, Castletown's rise was entirely due to its natural harbor.

At the beginning, Count Amelia also saw this, so he gathered the elves scattered everywhere and built a city near the port.

The reason why Castle Ellington declined rapidly and later became a ruin is definitely closely related to the rise of Castleton City...

In fact, Roy really wanted to use this opportunity to complain about the Moon Temple, but after thinking about it, he decided not to.

With his current status, if he offends the Moon Temple again, he will probably not get any good results...

Everyone was well prepared, and even one elf girl directly hung the sketch of Castle Ellington on the blackboard - the ruined Castle Ellington suddenly became the most glorious in the past on the drawing paper. appearance.

The elf students in the lecture theater immediately let out a low cry.

When it was Roy's turn, he talked about the strategic significance of Castle Ellington:

"In my opinion, this should not be a historical site, and there is no reason for us to abandon Castle Ellington."

"During the war, relying on the resources of the Dane River, we can use flying fish boats to control the river, and we can use the Malaga jungle as a natural barrier to restrict enemy troops from invading inland from the coastline. If Castleton City is As the first line of defense to block the Naga Sea Clan, Castle Ellington is the second line of defense and is a vital military fortress..."

This lesson on the modern history of elves came to an end soon.

Edith didn't expect Roy to have such a high opinion of Castle Ellington.

…

After class, Edith took the opportunity to ask Roy: "Roy, did you bring your lizard leather?"

Roy immediately replied: "Bring it."

Edith pulled her two best friends, stood in front of Roy, tilted her head and asked him:

"Can you go out with me? I know a good leather shop."

"Thank you very much. I'm worried about not being able to find a suitable leather shop..." Roy said.

The large piece of basilisk skin was in Claire's magic pocket, so Roy met Claire again at the gate of the college. The group took Edith's carriage to Heroes' Square, and the carriage stopped directly at Thumper's leather shop. in front of the door.

Roy looked up at the familiar plaque. The first thing he found yesterday was this leather shop. Unfortunately, the Silver Moon Elf waiter in charge of reception turned Roy away because the leather shop did not accept thick leather. A order.

Edith led everyone out of the carriage and stepped up the steps at the door of the store.

Seeing Edith appear at the door of the shop, the Silver Moon Elf attendant immediately came out from the shop, saluted Edith in the most humble manner, and then asked cautiously:

"Miss Edith, why do you have time to come to the store? If you have any instructions, just send someone to call me to your home."

Edith put her hands on her lower back, smiled and walked into the leather shop with her two best friends. She looked around and found that the walls were covered with various leather armors. She turned back and asked the attendant: " Is the master here?"

Only then did the attendant see Roy in the crowd, and his pupils narrowed suddenly...

Roy looked like he had never seen him before, his eyes falling on the leather armors on the wall.

I have to say that the leather armor made by this shop is very exquisite and the workmanship is fine. Many details are handled very uniquely.

The Silver Moon Elf attendant responded in a low voice: "The teacher is making a set of hedgehog crystal lion leather armor..."

Edith's eyes fell on the counter, and she did not give the elf attendant a chance to continue, and said with some dissatisfaction:

"I have classes in the afternoon and I don't have time to wait here. Can you help me see...is Master available now?"

The Silver Moon Elf attendant immediately said: "I'm going to call the teacher right now. Please wait a moment."

He first arranged for another elf attendant to serve fruit tea to everyone, and then hurried upstairs. Not long after, an old elf came down from upstairs, and the elf attendant followed him honestly.

The old elf glanced at Edith and asked her, "Edith, wasn't your leather armor just made at the beginning of the year?"

"Master Jerome, this time I want to invite you to see these lizard leathers..."

In front of Master Jerome, Edith immediately changed back to a good girl. She pushed Roy and motioned for him to take out the lizard skin.

Claire quickly took out several rolls of petrified lizard leather from the magic waist bag. The leather was very rough in the post-processing, and another good piece of leather was actually divided into several pieces...

"Miss Edith, with all due respect, if you go hunting in the wild next time, don't use this skinner again. Such good leather has been damaged like this. If it is damaged in battle, forget it. But the problem is that these cuts are obviously left during peeling."

"If it is a complete piece of petrified lizard skin, it can be cut out to make three sets of leather armors. Now, at most, we can only make one and a half sets!"

The old elf completely unfolded several bundles of petrified lizard skins, inspected them carefully, and then said with great regret.

Roy and Claire looked at each other, and then they realized how much damage had been caused by not knowing the skinning technique...

Edith didn't care about this at all, pushed Roy directly in front of the old elf, and asked Master Jerome:

"Can you sew him a set of leather armor according to his figure? Master Jerome."

Master Jerome looked at Roy carefully for a long time, and then asked Roy with a stern face:

"Do you have any other needs?"

Roy said quickly: "I just want to customize a thick leather armor suit, similar to the armor's defensive power, preferably more solid..."

"In terms of magic patterns?" Master Jerome interrupted Roy and continued to ask.

This time it was Edith who spoke: "For now, let's strengthen the hard skin."

Master Jerome immediately wrote it down and said in a soft voice: "Okay, Miss Edith."

"When can you finish such a thick leather armor suit?" Edith asked with a smile.

Master Jerome pondered for a moment before saying, "It will take about a month."

"Roy, can I wait a month?" Edith turned around and asked Roy.

Roy nodded quickly and agreed.

Roy then asked Master Jerome to customize a pair of thick leather combat boots and a pair of thick leather gloves for him. No deposit was required, and the group left the leather shop.

"Thank you, Edith."

Walking out of the leather shop, Roy thanked Edith.

Edith didn't say anything more, she just smiled faintly and asked Roy: "Okay, I have to rush to the college for classes in the afternoon. Roy, do you have anything else to do in the afternoon?"

"I want to go back to the Temple of Liberty..."
