Yuna continued to talk about her idea excitedly: "And because of the similarities of these armors, in addition to making this set of [Abandoned Wolf] as it is, I can also disassemble and modify it."
Yuna's speech speed increased: "Masters of other schools of demon hunters do not necessarily need to wear armor styles that do not fit them, and they can also gain sufficient strength improvement!"
The Demon Hunter Cult has now basically collected the equipment drawings of the original five major schools.
Lane had previously obtained the blueprints of the Cat Faction and the Wolf Faction in Oxenburg and Temple Island respectively. Kaer Siren came with a complete set of griffin blueprints, the Bear Faction blueprints were brought in by Gerd personally, and the Wolf Faction blueprints were found by Geralt and others after they explored Kaer Morhen under Lane's guidance.
Although some of them are not the highest [Grandmaster] level blueprints, the design concepts of various schools for armor have been fully demonstrated, which is enough for Yuna, the future Grandmaster armorer, to understand thoroughly.
The gap between the demon hunter's armor system and that of the outside world is huge.
For traditional combat units, the only function of armor is to improve defense: stack the thickest armor, charge the fiercest, and get the most outstanding military achievements.
Moreover, thick armor can also be used as heirlooms. It is common for a set of plate armor to be worn by three generations of a family.
Most people layer their armor thicker and thicker, and only a few people can make their armor thinner and thinner - such as demon hunters.
In the development process of Demon Hunter Armor, defense is only one of the factors to be considered. In fact, advanced armor is just a base to engrave more alchemical runes to strengthen the magic seal or other demon hunting effects.
This is a completely different concept from modern armor design.
And because each school has different combat methods, it is also very important to match the armor with the demon hunter's own combat style.
For example, this set of Abandoned Wolf [Abandoned Wolf], although it has considerable bonuses for spells and close combat, it is essentially still a set of [Medium Armor]. It will be very comfortable for the Griffin School and the Wolf School to wear, but it will be very uncomfortable for cats who like [Light Armor] or bears who like [Heavy Armor] to wear it.
Cats and bears would rather give up this considerable bonus and wear their own armor. After all, fighting is not just about panel hard attributes.
But Yuna has now assured that she can overcome this problem!
Not only can she create a set of armor that is most suitable for griffins and wolves based on this blueprint, she can also use it to comprehensively upgrade the armor of cats, snakes, and bears!
“Master Raymond’s design is so inspiring,” Yuna said modestly.
Lann immediately waved his hand and allowed Yuna to work part-time as the resident armorer of the Witcher Order in addition to Cintra's armament system. He also made the Siren of Kael open to her from then on, increasing her authority to mobilize resources.
The forge of Kel Siren belonged to her from then on.
…
Looking at the blushing young warrior running out with Raymond holding the blueprint, Lan breathed a sigh of relief.
"Why, you didn't expect that?"
"Hmm?" Lan looked at Mossak in confusion, "What did you not expect?"
"In addition to being responsible for the daily equipment production of Cintra, she has always spent a lot of time on the blueprints of demon hunter equipment. So as soon as she gets a new blueprint, she can draw inferences from it to the equipment of other schools and immediately have ideas for improvement."
Mossak smiled and said, "Yuna is even more amazing than that. With the support of our alchemy technology, she has already deduced equipment that is as powerful as the Griffin School's [Advanced] set based on the most basic Cat and Bear School equipment blueprints."
"She has made many innovations. We believe that even if we find the real [Advanced Equipment Blueprints] of the Cat and Bear factions, they will not be stronger than the two that she deduced."
"Really?" Lan En asked in surprise. He knew Yuna was very talented, but he didn't expect Yuna to be so talented.
Mossak smiled and nodded. "She just finished testing the armor she made a few days ago with our help. She hasn't had time to report to you yet."
The druid sighed and said, "You are walking very fast and very far. Even a little too fast and too far. But everyone is trying to catch up with you."
Lan smiled.
Since the Restoration War, he has indeed been working non-stop. He only returned to Kael Siren to participate in Leo's mutation after a breakthrough in the research on witcher mutation. After that, he returned to the Cintra Palace to deal with various matters and had almost no time to rest.
After hearing about Yuna's breakthrough in armor, he realized that he had paid less attention to matters other than state affairs.
This opportunity is rare, and Lann plans to take advantage of it to learn more about the many things that are going on, including things outside of Cintra.
Mossak fumbled around on the lab table for a moment, then handed Lan an experimental notebook and explained as Lan flipped through it:
"The research you asked me to do has made good progress."
"The Demon Hunter mutation has been successful, and the second mutation just needs to be put into practice. For example, your Ice Giant and the Berserker Servant Bill, I also did some testing and teaching on them some time ago."
Mossak rubbed his brows, as if he had a headache. "That ice giant's brain is really not that good. He wasted a lot of magic power at the magic source level. But at least he has made a lot of improvements in creating blizzards."
"Bill is in a slightly better situation. He is very serious and smart. If he is trained well, he will become a qualified druid. I plan to train him as an assistant."
Lan En said: "That's his luck. Everything depends on your opinion."
However, what makes Mossak most proud is not the above breakthroughs.
The following is his proudest research result.
"The simplification and popularization of the [Magic Infusion] technology has also yielded results." Mossak explained, "I have already enchanted all the demon hunters' armor with the [Magic Infusion] they need, and even enchanted your servants with a simplified version of the [Arrow Deflection] enchantment."
"For example, your maid Milva, based on her previous feedback on the battlefield, the simplified magic infusion effect is very good."
Lan nodded. His own equipment was also infused with magic, the armor had the [Deflection] function that could ward off incoming arrows, and the long sword had the [Break] function that could extend a magical blade to increase the attack distance.
"I'm still trying to simplify the magic infusion technology. Once the cost is further reduced, we can develop this technology for military use." Mossak smiled, "For example, use [Balance] and [Lightness] to form a heavy armor mobile unit whose armor is only as heavy as light armor."
When he said this, the smile on Mossak's face became more mysterious and complacent.
"Lane, come with me."
…
“Hiss—”
On top of the towering snow-capped peaks, a black shadow spread its wings and rolled over the ice flowers, chasing after another fleeing figure.
A fight soon began in the sky and ended with the fall of a figure.
But this was not an incompatible fight between predator and prey. The falling shadow flapped its wings in time to stabilize itself before finally hitting the ground, screaming as it moved away; and the winner did not kill it all, but instead flew back towards the Kyle Siren after excitedly chirping towards the canyon.
From the dark shadows they cast in the sunlight, one can barely make out that they all have eagle heads, sharp claws, and large wings, yet have nimble bodies like those of cats.
They are all griffins.
Lann showed a surprised expression: "Could it be?"
Mossak nodded. "Yes, it's the egg you brought back from Brokilon, which we later hatched into the Royal Griffin."
"The juvenile period of a griffin is very short. Two years is enough for it to enter the growth stage and even the early stage of maturity. It will continue to grow in the foreseeable future." Mossak shook his head. "I used the druid's method to train it. Now it listens to me, Geron, Kelda and others and obeys everything we say."
The royal griffin quickly spotted Mossak with its sharp eyesight. After landing, it immediately shook its majestic head and put its forehead to Mossak's palm, acting like a spoiled child.
This beast that combines the characteristics of the king of the sky and the king of the land now looks very majestic. The royal griffin is the best-looking of all the subspecies of griffins, not to mention that it has been carefully trained by druids and demon hunters.
Not only is it now much larger than its peers, but its fur is so brilliant that it seems as if the sun is flowing through its hair. Just now, when it flapped its wings in the snowy mountains facing the sun, it looked like a ball of fierce light flying consciously in the air from a distance.
Lann tentatively extended his hand towards the royal griffin. It was slightly wary at first, but the memory that had been burned deep into its brain was soon awakened - Lann had participated in its hatching.
So the Royal Griffin quickly relaxed its vigilance, but became closer to the Druid.
"Griffins are solitary and aggressive creatures, but under our training, their habits have changed a bit." Mossak smiled proudly, "It is very attached to us, and at the same time, it particularly likes to invade other griffin territories in the Flying Dragon Mountains to fight. After winning, it will withdraw from those griffin territories."
"It has no rivals in the Feilong Mountains now. With its help, we have almost figured out the habitats of all the griffins in the Feilong Mountains."
Lann raised his eyebrows: "You... want to use it to subdue all the griffins in the mountains?"
To be honest, Lann no longer has much interest in the Royal Griffins.
When there was only Black Wind in the beginning, he did have expectations for flying monsters like the Griffin; but now Lann's [Servants] are becoming more and more powerful, and they even have top-level air units like the Dragon.
Unless, what he was facing was not "one" griffin, but "a group" of griffins.
Or rather - the Griffin Cavalry Regiment!
Mossak nodded with a smile, then shook his head: "The adult griffins in the back mountain have already developed deep-rooted habits. They would rather be killed by this little guy than surrender."
As he said this, Mossak scratched the back of the Royal Griffin's head again, causing it to snore comfortably like a big cat and lie down on the ground with its belly exposed.
"But we can train more little griffins, just like it." Mossak patted the head of the royal griffin. "In the past, the content of the [Mountain Trial] for the apprentices of the Griffin School's demon hunters was to steal a griffin egg from the back mountain. However, those griffin eggs were only used as alchemical materials in the end. The demon hunters never thought of hatching them."
When he said this, the druid smiled reservedly: "This is also because they don't have the method to tame griffins."
"But things will be different in the future. After discussing with Geron and the others, we plan to have the apprentices train griffins together when we train new apprentices in the future, so as to cultivate a group of griffins that live in groups. And it -" Mossak pointed at the beast under his command, "will be the leader of the future griffins."
"What do you think, Lan?"
…
What could Lan have to say?
What could he say about the first air force to appear on the continent?
Even better, Lann is the only one on the continent who has the ability to train such a force - not even the other druids in Skellige can do it.
Because only a demon hunter, who has enhanced his five senses, balance ability and nerve reflexes beyond ordinary people, can control the griffin to fight in the air. Only a demon hunter can become a so-called "griffin knight" instead of a "warrior riding a griffin."
It's like the traditional difference between "cavalry" and "mounted infantry".
Lan is looking forward to what this force will look like once it is truly formed.
At the same time, Lann was happy to accept the fact that "by contracting a royal griffin leader, one can control an entire griffin tribe."
It's not like he hadn't thought about the possibility of "making a contract with the leader of a group of monsters to command the group" before.
However, powerful monsters usually live alone, and those that live in groups are basically water ghosts, ghouls and other monsters with little strength - why would you contract something that can be wiped out with just one seal?
Now, a group of powerful monsters living in groups have been artificially cultivated, which was something that even Lann had never thought of before.
The old druid is still reliable. While he has a bunch of projects on hand, he will also find new projects on his own.
Unfortunately, Lane's last skill point has been used to treat Raymond.
But it didn't matter. According to the speed at which the servants were accumulating experience for Lann, Lann would be able to level up soon. He could also take advantage of this time to get in touch with the neglected Royal Griffin, and save some experience for when the formal contract comes.
Looking at the royal griffin that was acting like a big cat at his feet, Lann marveled at the druid's superb animal taming skills, when he suddenly heard Mossak's voice.
"Give it a name, Lan."
Lan En was surprised: "It doesn't have a name yet? It's already so big!"
The old druid shook his head and said, "We prepared it for you. Of course, you have to give it a name. You have to spend more time with it. I will teach you some animal taming techniques so that it can learn to obey your commands."
That's fine.
Lan thought for a while, and began to imagine the future scene of the Royal Griffins leading the Griffin Regiment to cover the sky and the sun.
He stroked the golden brown mane with reverence, and an idea came to his mind: "I decided to call it [Caesar]."
The training of the Griffin Knights was decided, and the training of demon hunter apprentices would include a subject called "Griffin Training". Mossak would also step up his research on improving the "Magic Infusion" technology of lightweight heavy armor to match the load of air forces.
Later, Lan allocated another sum of money to build a large griffin incubation room and griffin nest for Kell Siren, all of which will also be presided over by Mossak.
only……
"Uncle Mossak, do you know Black Wind?"
"Your horse that has undergone the witcher mutation?"
"right!"
"What's wrong?"
"Do you think it's possible for you to teach it the Sign, or give it a second mutation?"
"Lane... let's try to give people a secondary mutation first."
"Okay..."
"call……"
"Then is it possible for us to give Caesar a demon hunter mutation like Black Wind? Can the existing technology support the mutation of demons?"
"Lane..."
