After the failure of the mass production plan of the whole-body armors, Sui Xiong had been too lazy, so he hadn’t produced much more. He had only given this kind of armor to the elites of his own knights.
However, the storms surrounding this kind of armor hadn’t calmed down. In a later practical training session, the elites of the knights wearing the Void Whole-body Armors had fought fiercely against a famous bandit group face to face. In the battle, the Void Whole-body Armors had won because the entire Regiment of Knights hadn’t lost one person. Not even a single one had been seriously wounded.
The place where the battle had happened at that time was not remote. Many people had witnessed this fierce battle, and naturally, some among them could tell the good things about it. After the battle, some adventurers quickly ran to the Void Mask Land and wanted to buy such armor.
High-level armors were still rare in this world. First-class refining armor required a lot of labor and materials, so the price was extremely high. However, compared to its price, the production output was a bigger problem.
Adventurers above mid-level could always make up enough money to buy good armor. However, few people could really obtain their ideal armor. This was because every good armor needed the hard work of a craftsman for a few years before it could be produced. Most of those armors had been booked by large organizations—such as the nation—before production, so few could actually flow into the mortal world.
Therefore, even among high-level adventurers, quite a few people were wearing restructured old armor or special beast leather armor.
Of course, some of the old armors of the previous generation were quite good. The special leather armors made of demon beasts’ skins were certainly wonderful. However, if they could, those ruthless warriors would still want a new set of heavy armor tailored for themselves.
No matter how old armors were modified, it was also impossible for them to fit well. Demon beasts’ leather armor seemed useful, but repairing them was a huge problem. In contrast, the custom-made heavy armors were not only firm but also easy to repair, which was beneficial for long-term adventures.
Therefore, when the news of the Void Whole-body Armors had been spread, a lot of high-level adventurers had come to the Land trying to buy them.
The Void Mask Land told the adventurers that “the Void Whole-body Armors are very low in production and the price is very expensive, so it can only be purchased with a raffle.”
A raffle? No problem!
After the raffle, more than 20 high-level adventurers had lined up and booked their own armor.
As for the mid-level or low-level adventurers, they had to give up.
Over the years, the Land had sold a total of four Void Whole-body Armors, each of which had been well praised. The high-level adventurers owned a lot of money, so everyone had taken their own armor to be enchanted, turning them into four famous treasures.
Many thrilling stories had developed about the four armors. In particular, one of the armors, named “White Moonlight,” had changed three masters in just five years, and at least hundreds of people had died for it. It even became a legend.
The elites of the Void Mask Knights wearing the Void Whole-body Armors had become the most famous expensive corps in the Main Plane. Countless people had been secretly targeting them, aiming to take the armor away from them.
However, no one had succeeded so far.
In addition to the elites wearing the Void Whole-body Armors, the knights had many ordinary soldiers. They were also wearing whole-body armor, but theirs were more simplified. They were much lighter and much easier to manufacture.
This simplified version of the whole-body armors was actually considered a high-end item that couldn’t even be purchased by average adventurers. Therefore, it was already a very good thing for an ordinary soldier to wear such a set of armor.
When they gathered together, the bright armors reflected the bonfire, revealing a thrilling heroic temperament that made any unscrupulous people subconsciously retreat.
In the morning, Gerald took his men to start their routine training.
The first thing they did was running. They ran a whole circle around the Void Mask Land.
