Chapter 286: New Equipment
Having just a sword is not enough.
In the following month, Xiaofen worked overtime all day, lying on the flame hole of the dragon steel forge and constantly spewing dragon breath to assist in forging.
It's still at the rate of one Dragon Flame Steel Ingot per day.
Although the efficiency is not high, fortunately Levi has plenty of time.
When all the Dragon Flame Steel needed to build a set of equipment is gathered, both the Little Pink and the Dragon Steel Forge can take a rest.
After having another big meal, the satisfied little pinky lay back in his nest and fell asleep.
Apart from anything else, Xiaofen's flamethrowing ability has at least been greatly improved during this period of time, and his control over the temperature and firepower has become much more precise.
In the forging room, Levi took out the Dragon Flame Steel.
The components are synthesized one by one.
Helmet, breastplate, trouser legs, combat boots…
The armor value provided by a full set of Dragon Steel armor is 34 points, while the current Netherite armor provides 20 points.
The improvement is quite significant.
In addition to armor value, Dragon Steel also crushes Nether Alloy in terms of toughness.
After the armor was made, Levi couldn't wait to take off the nether alloy armor he had worn for more than twenty years and put on the dragonfire steel suit.
Compared to Netherite Armor, the material of Dragon Steel Armor is much more exquisite - the same dark gray base color as the Dragon Steel Sword, with faintly visible dark red lines.
Fortunately, the design of the Dragon Flame Steel Armor is also simple and not so fancy.
The ultimate in physical defense, as well as super high toughness and durability, this is the Dragon Flame Steel Armor.
The only thing it lacks compared to Infernal Armor is that it provides no knockback resistance.
After making the armor and the greatsword, Levi took out the other materials dropped by Smaug and made a dragonbone bow.
To be honest, the cost-effectiveness of this bow is not very high, because it uses dragon bone arrows as ammunition, and it is indefinitely ineffective.
The damage of Dragon Bone Bow + Dragon Bone Arrow + Strength V enchantment is 48 points. Pulling the bow to full length and hitting it twice is enough to kill a ogre.
But, as mentioned before, it can only shoot matching dragon bone arrows.
There are limited dragon bones, but there are many enemies. If you really use them freely, all the dragon bones will be used up after a small battle.
However, if you don't use good things, it's the same as not having them.
So Levi made two sets of dragon bone arrows and put them in his backpack for use. Together with the dragon bone bow, they will be powerful weapons against elite enemies and even leaders.
…
On this day, when the sun rose and Levi walked out of the forge, the people were surprised to find that their lord had changed into a new set of armor.
The armor looks deep and ancient. At first glance, the overall color is dark gray and black, but if you look closely, you will find that the so-called 'black' areas are actually some dark red lines that make people feel a little uneasy.
Although they had not seen it with their own eyes, nor had they experienced it, everyone agreed: "The Lord has become stronger."
That's true.
In the military camp, Levi took out a dragon bone longbow, put a dragon bone arrow on it, pulled the string to its full length, and aimed at the target.
Boom!
Almost in an instant, a huge noise broke out, and the armor frame serving as the target shattered in an instant, and the armor hanging on it was also pierced.
This is as powerful as a sniper rifle...
Levi made a rough calculation.
If the target was me wearing netherite armor, even with the rune shield, I might not be able to withstand the third hit, or even the second hit...
Even if he was wearing a full set of protective four-dragon steel armor, facing a dragon bone bow and dragon bone arrows enchanted with Strength V, he would only need to shoot two more times.
Levi is now so strong that even he is afraid of himself.
While thinking, Levi silently picked up the dragon bone arrow that he had shot.
"what happens?"
There was a sound at the door and Levi looked back.
"Falodane, you are here too."
"Of course I am here, but I didn't expect you to be here too."
As Farodan spoke, he walked up to Levi and couldn't help but look him up and down carefully.
"Your equipment has changed. This thing gives me a special feeling."
"in addition…"
Farodan looked again at the pile of debris on the ground.
"You caused this too?"
Levi nodded.
Farodan became interested immediately, and continued to ask: "What kind of magic did you use, a fireball? It doesn't look like it. I think the trace looks like lightning, and it has a strong penetrating power..."
The homeless man still believed, as he had twenty years ago, that Levi could perform some miraculous magic.
"Neither." Levi denied it.
“It’s this kind of arrow.”
Levi took out a few dragon bone arrows and explained: "Arrows made of dragon bones are strong, sharp, and have a certain magical power. Just like you said just now, they have strong penetrating power."
"That's great. I'll give you some."
"This kind of arrow cannot be used with ordinary bows. It is best to use a crossbow. The power of a dragon bone arrow shot from a crossbow is equivalent to a TNT exploding right in front of you."
“I believe you will use it well.”
"oh?"
Farodan took the dragon bone arrows handed to him by Levi and felt quite curious.
"Arrows made from dragon bones are a luxury. I guess they are quite rare. One less arrow is needed if one is used."
Levi replied: "But it's worth it."
Farodan looked at the exploded armor rack and then at the armor that was shot through on the ground, and he agreed with this statement.
“It’s worth it.”
He put the dragon bone arrow away carefully and said, "I'm glad to see that you have made a new breakthrough. Are you free now?"
"I'm free, what's wrong?"
"I'm fine, but when I passed by the castle just now, I found a dwarf waiting at the door."
"He seems to have something important to talk to you about. Do you want to go and see him now?"
"Dwarf?" Li Weilue felt a little confused.
After a moment.
In front of the castle, Levi met the dwarf that Farodan mentioned.
"Balin, why is it you?"
"Oh, Levi, I'm glad you're here."
As soon as he heard Levi's voice, Balin immediately turned around and greeted him.
Levi asked, "What happened?"
"It's Erebor, recently- wow, your armor, what is it made of?"
The conversation had barely started when Balin himself led the conversation astray.
He stared at Levi's armor with wide eyes and said, "Can I touch it?"
Li Wei was a little helpless.
He opened his arms and said, "It's up to you."
So Balin completely abandoned his reserve.
"Oh, my beard, for Durin's sake..."
Various exclamations kept coming out of his mouth.
"It's light and tough...even stronger than Mithril. It's unbelievable. If this material is made into a weapon, it will definitely be a weapon with unparalleled performance that will neither rust nor curl."
"I guess you do, don't you?"
Balin asked him in a low voice as he touched Levi's breastplate.
"Um?"
Before Levi could answer, he suddenly looked at the Dragon Flame Steel Breastplate that he was touching with one hand.
"It's not a hot season now. Is the surface temperature always this high?"
"Yes." Levi nodded.
"Then it looks like there should be a layer of lining inside your armor to protect yourself from being burned. The material used for the lining must be unusual. Am I right?"
"Well, that's roughly right."
"Well, I'll tell you."
Seeing that all his guesses were correct, the old dwarf Balin showed a smug expression.
Then he couldn't wait to continue what he just said: "Let me see your weapon!"
Levi had no choice but to take out his Dragon Flame Steel Sword.
Then, stick it into the ground with a clang.
With this action, the floor shook, and Balin's beard trembled.
"Oh, this is a really big one. It's taller than me."
The tallest dwarf, such as Thorin, is only 4.5 feet (1.5 meters). For them, this sword is actually taller than the entire person. It is a real giant.
"Let me see how heavy it is..."
Balin raised his head, grasped the hilt of the sword with both hands, and exerted all his strength.
"drink!!"
So he raised the big sword.
"Phew—this is really strenuous."
"Good, very good, it's a really good sword."
The old dwarf's eyes showed admiration.
“I smell it.”
He said, "I smell that smell up there, Thorin, and that smell that all dwarves can never forget."
"Evil dragon, blood of evil dragon."
Levi did not hide it and directly admitted: "Yes, it is a kind of metal forged with dragon blood and dragon breath. I call it 'Dragon Flame Steel'."
“Nice name.”
"Forging with dragon blood... this technology is worth studying carefully."
His curiosity satisfied, Balin returned the sword to Levi and said thank you.
As Bahrain sighed, Levi couldn't help but sigh as well.
Balin... this old dwarf with rich experience in forging basically understood the properties of Dragon Fire Steel with just one glance, and he might even have some idea of the physical forging method that does not require a workbench for synthesis.
I can only say that he is worthy of being a dwarf.
They are worthy of being a race created by the God of Craftsmen. In this regard, each of them is an extremely talented expert.
"By the way, Balin, what was it that you were anxious to say just now?"
"Oh yeah!"
After Levi's reminder, Balin finally came to his senses.
"I was just about to tell you about the anomaly in Erebor. It's not a temporary anomaly. In fact, this has been bothering us for many years. We have tried many things, but we can't solve it."
"Thorin had no other choice but to let me come to the roadside fort to see if I could run into you."
"It seems that I am still relatively lucky now."
Thank you for the 500 points reward from the Arcane Core, and thank you for the monthly votes and recommendation votes. Thank you, thank you
——
It's the end of the month. In the blink of an eye, I realized that this year is almost over. I hope that the coming 2025 will be kind to everyone. (End of this chapter)
