  Chapter 436 New Equipment and Old Ghost (13)

   The new armor that Ian chose is a masterpiece collected by the Marquis of Barton. According to the knight who led the way, over the years, the Marquis has only opened his private armory twice to outsiders, and he is the third.

  The new armor is named 'Tang Kong'. It looks quite strange in shape, giving people a sense of alien creatures. Its helmet is similar to the racing helmet of the previous Earth, with a V-shaped blade-like structure at the top.

  The thick outer carapace of the armor body is smooth dark gray, and can even reflect part of the light. The overall structure is extremely smooth.

  The armor's helmet, shoulders, arms, and waist have rows of closeable breathing holes. They are symmetrically distributed, which can be used for ventilation, and can also be connected to external oxygen supply equipment, or other alchemy gas ports.

  Ian observed the back and found that there was indeed a buckle for placing the alchemy pot.

  The hollow surface has fine white lines, which are not processed, but natural. Its raw material is the carapace of a sublimated giant worm. Its scientific name is 'Valkyrie worm'. Natural Gale Inscription.

  Ian activated it with non-attribute source quality, and the white lines on the entire armor emitted pale white light like breathing. The light started from the chest where Ian touched, and continued all the way to the limbs and helmet.

  The weight of the entire armor suddenly became more than 90% lighter, and the boy could even lift it up with one finger.

   "Is this sublimated armor?"

  Ian turned his head and looked at the knight leading the way with some doubts: "The general is so generous?"

   "It's just a pair of armor, not armor."

The knight leading the way was wearing full-coverage armor and his face was covered by the helmet, but he could still hear the smile in his words: "Guide knight, the Feiyandi biological laboratory that you revealed by yourself is placed in the army, and it is considered a second-class merit." , you can get a medal. Unfortunately, you are not, otherwise, the reward will only be more."

   "Is the decision to be empty? There is also a saber to choose. Of course, you can choose other weapons if you like."

   he prompted.

   "I see, thank you very much."

  Ian nodded slightly. From this point of view, maybe he took Flame Land too lightly? But think about it, the two countries have been at war for many years, as long as they can attack each other and make the other's plan unsuccessful, it must be a great achievement.

   What's more, he did successfully attack Feiyandi's base south of Indigo Mountain, which is indeed a great contribution.

   Then he can feel at ease.

  Ian asked to try on the armor. Of course, the knight who called himself 'Sharp Bones' would not refuse, and even helped Ian put on the armor.

   There is a layer of airbags inside the air-wrapped armor, which will expand and fit according to the wearer's figure. Ian feels that this is unexpectedly comfortable, and there is almost no loss of power transmission.

  And he sensed that the breathing holes located all over the armor can be opened and closed with the operation of his source quality, especially the breathing holes on the sides and back of the body are more dexterous and the design is very delicate.

With a thought in his mind, Ian ran the Fairy Wings, and suddenly bursts of cold air began to spread inside Tang Kong, and the air holes on the armor opened and closed rhythmically, and hoarfrost mist gushed out from them, rapidly cooling the surrounding air , and then the armor inhaled the cold air into the body to accumulate.

  During the diffusion of the source material, the white lines on the surface of the entire armor became more and more bright, and the entire armor even slowly floated up due to the airflow gushing from the breathing holes, hovering in mid-air.

   "Great...perfect for me!"

Ian understands why this set of armor is called Tang Kong—the invisible airflow uses the breathing holes and airflow beams as the entrances and exits, and is tightly wrapped around the armor shell like a winding chain, becoming a layer of invisible atmospheric armor. It reduces the weight and even allows the user to fly in the air, while also providing good arrow deflection ability and defense.

   "That's it."

  Ian has made up his mind, and the Bone Knight notes it down: "Okay. Next up is the saber..."

   "I'll just use that one."

  Ian didn't hesitate at this point. When he entered the Marquis's private armory, he saw a good long sword. Although it was not as good as the Abyss Iron Sword, it was still a pretty good weapon.

  The scabbard of this long sword is dark in color and quite old, and it is quite worn, with mottled marks everywhere.

  But on the places that haven't been worn out, it can be seen that there used to be quite elegant patterns on it, and the end of the sword hilt is a thumb-sized golden-brown crystal, surging the power of the earth element.

  Ian drew his sword and observed the blade, but saw that the blade of the sword was not smooth, but densely packed with scale-like lines. He stretched out his hand to touch and found that the surface of the scales was quite sharp.

  Using this sword to stab the enemy's chest with one sword, it is not just a cutting wound, but a crushing wound scratched by countless knives.

   "Steel-patterned sword. It is said that the spoils of the elven pirate fleet were the work of the dwarves. It is useless except for being strong... The wound may be more difficult to heal, but it is also more difficult to use it well.

   "However, it is said that you had to avoid the battle because the saber was of mediocre quality and was crushed by someone?"

  Bone Knight nodded slightly. Although this choice was not a good one, he could understand Ian's thoughts—he was just a guide anyway: "Are you sure you want this sword?"

   "That's it."

  Ian is indeed for this reason. After all, the Chongyuan Iron Sword cannot be used frequently except in times of crisis, so in a sense, his accompanying sword is used to bully those who are weaker than him.

   In this way, it is enough if it is hard enough, not to mention that the steel-pattern sword can withstand the blessing of earth-type source quality, which is definitely not bad in his hands.

  This is the result.

  As the sharp bone knight took the documents to register, the empty armor and steel pattern sword officially belonged to Ian.

  At this time, the Bone Knight also sent the document that the Marquis of Barton asked Ian to send to the imperial capital. The document was kept in a box wrapped with a lacquered seal.

  If it is an ordinary person, there must be no way to penetrate through the layers of seals and take out the secret message inside without any damage—but you must know that it is the vision of vision and the silver chip!

  So Ian knew the contents of the box as soon as he got it.

   It turned out to be just a few very ordinary appointment letters.

In the past few months, the Marquis of Barton has appointed and revoked the qualifications of several South Ridge patrol knight apprentices. Among them is Ian's own evaluation form, and the evaluation result is 'excellent', which can almost be a full score. .

But obviously, it was not necessary for Ian to personally send it to the imperial capital—although the continent of Terra did lose a lot of pre-epoch technology, it is not difficult to fax...Patrick can communicate with pirates remotely using crystal boards. It can't be said that the Marquis of Barton doesn't have this wealth, right?

   "It seems that I was indeed used as a bait. Or there are still mysteries in this news. For example, the order of the list or the evaluation above can make up a secret letter."

Ian guessed this way, he felt that it was almost inseparable, but he didn't know which ghosts would be picked up by this secret letter and cause trouble for him: "The matter that the Marquis of Barton gave me is really not good. few."

   "When the time comes, should we kill them directly, or take a prisoner?"

  With such thoughts in mind, Ian took the box and walked out of the gate of the front yard of the Governor's Mansion wearing armor.

   It happened to be a night rain.

   And in this rainy night, the boy saw a figure.

  He didn't fluctuate on the surface, but he was slightly surprised in his heart.

The magneto-optical knight Chris is coming from the darkness of the rainy night, his blue armor is covered with a layer of black magnetic sand, the light of the governor's mansion leaks out from the door, shining on him, dragging on the dark street Pull out a long shadow.

  The two looked at each other, and Ian, who was wearing an empty armor, nodded politely, while the magneto-optical knight looked at the unfamiliar knight with some doubts, but felt strange in his heart.

   A kind of déjà vu oddity.

  He also nodded to Ian, and then entered the governor's mansion.

  Ian watched the other party enter the front yard, and the gate of the Governor's Mansion was closed, leaving only the pyroxene lamp at the door to illuminate the night, reflecting the translucent raindrops in the sky.

  In the dark rainy night, the wind roared across the street, making the trees beside the street noisy.

  A thunderclap exploded, and the fleeting lightning pierced the sky and illuminated the earth.

   "Electromagnetic...Metal..."

  Ian stared at the continuous rain in front of him, and listened to the sound of raindrops falling down the street and beating the leaves. He nodded thoughtfully: "This guy's source quality is indeed this smell..."

  The teenager smiled inside the helmet.

   "Found you, ghost."

  He stepped into the rain.
