Chapter 545 (2/2)

In fact, the shield had just become a little soft; at least, it was much stronger than wood or other solid things. However, Sui Xiong and the Rune God were so sensitive that they could immediately feel any slight softness of the shield. It was like a hard stone turning into a slightly softer one-any experienced craftsman could feel the difference.

However, why would steel become softer after further removing the impurities of it?

Sui Xiong and the Rune God looked at each other and did not understand the reason.

However, if Sui Xiong was an engineering student, he would have known the reason. Unfortunately, he was just an art student. The hardness of pure iron was lower than that of steel, and most common magnets in life were made of pure iron. People who had played with magnets knew that they were slightly softer than steel knives or other things made of steels.

As for why the shield would become softer, Sui Xiong could even write a special paper to explain. But no one in the world was able to write such a paper. Even if there was such a paper in front of Sui Xiong, he would only stare at those symbols representing hardness, strength, temperature and so on. Sui Xiong would only say, “I know every word, but I can’t understand when those words constitute a paper.”

This episode did not affect Sui Xiong and the Rune God. They thought about it for a while and came up with a solution to the problem. They made this very uniform steel into a thin piece and inlaid it on the outside of the armor, just like wrapping iron on the outside of the wooden shield.

The inner armor was made to provide strong protection while the outer iron cladding was made to resist the Great Disintegration Spell. The only disadvantage was probably that the armor might be too heavy.

“I’m afraid that only Hercules can wear such a suit of armor to fight in battles,” Sui Xiong thought for a moment and said with a bitter smile. “If ordinary people wear such kind of armor, they wouldn’t be able to even walk fast.”

“Never mind. A Hercules is not difficult to find,” the Rune God laughed and said. “Compared with making this kind of armor, it’s much easier to find a group of Hercules’s. If you can’t find a Hercules, I’ll get a group of them for you. They are many of them in our Dwarf Race.”

The two gods smiled at each other after saying this.

Dwarves were relatively short, which meant their armor would use less steel. What’s more, most dwarves were strong. Even if the armor was heavier, it would not be a problem for them at all.

That was to say, this kind of wonderful armor suited them very well.

Once the armored warriors of the Dwarf Race wore such armor and added more protection magic, they would become real “mobile fortresses.” The “anti-magic” problem that plagued them so much in the past would no longer exist!

The Rune God looked around and whispered to Sui Xiong like a thief, “Your Majesty, are you willing to work with me during this time?”

Sui Xiong nodded.

“For a long time, we dwarves have never had any disputes with the Church of Void Mask or the Northwest Republic.”

Sui Xiong nodded.

“In that case, would you be interested in strengthening our relationship?” the Rune God asked tentatively. “I think there is still a lot of room for cooperation between us…”

Sui Xiong smiled and agreed with him.

“No problem!”
