Feather Robe

Han Dong learned about this through Mr. Black and White and through his conversations with Wen Li.

As long as the materials are complete.

Both Destiny Gear and Chaos Gear can be obtained as finished products through 'forging'.

Moreover, it may not be inferior to the quality of finished equipment, and may even be better. It can also be made according to one's own needs... Of course, this process adds a forging step, which requires hiring a blacksmith with superb skills.

This is why, when completing "It (the first part)," Knight Cas used all his points to exchange for materials.

"The Great Ghoul's Nail" and "Black Feather" are both taken from creatures outside the city.

The forged armor naturally belongs to the "Chaos Gear" category.

"Boy, the quality of the ' Chaos Gear ' you forge, combined with my forging skills and the intermediate materials I provide, will rise a level to 'Excellent+'."

The pollution from the equipment itself will also be a level higher; can you afford to use it?

"Able."

"Hehe."

The old blacksmith didn't offer any further reminders. He actually hoped that Han Dong would put on this highly polluted armor as soon as possible and head to the Destiny Space.

While facing danger, they are also contaminated and will surely die.

Once Han Dong dies, his beloved apprentice will no longer be in 'danger' of being kidnapped.

About half an hour passed.

As the old blacksmith used a unique inlay technique to attach the last feather to the surface of the armor.

Gaa gaa gaa!!

Squeak, squeak!

The sounds of 'crows cawing' and 'fingernails scraping' echoed simultaneously inside the blacksmith's room.

On the surface of the finished armor, a phantom image of a raven covered in white bones appeared, exuding a strong, murky black aura.

"Sound Manifestation" and "Visual Manifestation"

Both aspects are fully displayed, representing near-perfect forging and fully realizing the potential of the forging material.

"Wow..." Wenli was also surprised. If she were to forge it, at most only one phenomenon would occur.

"Take it."

A black feathered soft armor was thrown into Han Dong's hand.

Han Dong's eyes widened in surprise when he caught the soft armor!

It's hard to imagine such a comfortable and unique touch, and such a lightness that feels almost weightless.

"So light!!"

It feels like holding a stack of light feathers tightly.

However, the structure of the soft nail is actually very complex, consisting of three layers: the "outer feather layer", the "nail plate layer", and the "silver inner layer".

The "Great Ghoul's Nail" was transformed into a 4x4cm nail piece by the old blacksmith using extremely fine cutting techniques... It was then shaped with a unique flowing metal, which perfectly fits Han Dong's body and will never affect his movements.

As for the inner layer and the "flowing metal" that serves as an inlay, it is very expensive and difficult to control and forge. Only a skilled blacksmith can handle this metal.

Although it was only used in small quantities, it improved the overall quality of Han Dong's armor.

Han Dong really got a great deal.

The old blacksmith urged, "Hurry up and try them on. If there are any mismatches, we can make minor alterations."

Han Dong immediately took off his outer clothes.

Not far away, Winry also covered her eyes with her hand, but her fingers were slightly open as she peeked at the Vice Captain's body.

Winry's worldview is quite different from that of most people.

Having grown up in the [Underground Forge Citadel], she saw mostly lava, iron drills, and... muscular men.

Winry was already tired of seeing all sorts of muscular blacksmiths.

Looking directly at Han Dong's thin body, where even the lines of his ribs were clearly visible, I felt a strange stirring in my heart.

The old blacksmith himself had a deep understanding of the 'physical body'. When he stared at Han Dong's physique, he was somewhat surprised and found it hard to imagine how such a young man, who was not even as good as a normal person, could become Knight-Errant and how he was chosen by Black and White.

"Judging from Wenli's description, this kid must be quite special."

When forging this "Bone Feather Robe", I deliberately did not add copper.

This will fully unleash the impurities contained in the materials from outside the city... Can your body withstand it?

However.

What happened next immediately stunned the old blacksmith.

When Han Dong put on the "Bone Feather Robe"... the originally slightly large robe actually adhered to Han Dong's body on its own, adaptively changing its length and size.

The feathers on the surface, taken from the Arakkoa prophet, are slightly open at a 30° angle, and the magic contained within the feathers is faintly visible.

The old blacksmith stared at Han Dong, who was completely unaffected by the contamination, and muttered, "The ' Chaos Gear ' actually recognized itself as its master? Who is this kid...?"

Han Dong focused his attention on the feather robe, marveling at its comfortable softness, lightness, and the magical feeling of being surrounded by magic.

Before Han Dong approached Wen Li with the materials, he never expected to have such an unexpected gain.

Although the equipment's attributes are not visible, Han Dong estimates that this soft armor has high resistance to both physical and magical attacks, and also comes with defensive effects.

In this way, the preparations for entering the Destiny Space are largely complete.

Han Dong no longer held a grudge about what had happened before, Han Dong bowed politely.

"Thank you, Master Blacksmith."

"This low-level forging is just what I need to warm up... Since you're Winry's friend, I won't pursue this matter today. Ahem... From now on, since you're just ordinary friends, you should still keep a certain distance."

At this moment, Wenli suddenly interjected. "Master! In the Destiny Event a month from now, I will be teaming up with Nicholas."

"With him? I'll find some older female students to take you."

"No... I've already promised the Vice Captain."

Winnie's second rejection dealt the old blacksmith a double blow... He was so angry that he clutched his chest, his blood rushing to his head.

I can't be bothered with you!

The old blacksmith was so angry he needed to find a place to vent, but as soon as he stepped out of the blacksmith's shop, he regretted it.

The thought of his beloved apprentice, whom he had raised with such care, leaving him to follow someone else made him want to spit out a mouthful of blood.

"Nicholas ..."

"Exist!"

The old blacksmith turned his head, his eyes seeming to flow with molten lava. "You!... You must treat my apprentice well!"

"I will definitely bring Wenli back safely... Also, please rest assured, senior! I have no improper thoughts about Wenli. We are just classmates and partners."

"Um..."

The old blacksmith then left.

Wenli stood to one side, her front teeth slightly touching her lips, unsure of what to say.

"Wen Li, I will contact you after the team is formed."

You can consider conducting practical training during the remaining month.

Judging from the last training camp, you have the ability, but you lack experience.

If you can't find a training partner, you can find me in the [Mysticism Department.

"Um... thank you, Vice Captain. And... Master has always been like this, so please don't blame him."

"No, I'm more than grateful... Finally, I'll leave the matter of the 'Crowman Armor' to you."

"Good!"
