Chapter 58 Perfect Set
"I'm sorry, my eldest and second sisters were so rude. Didn't they scare you?"

Sanxue panted and returned to the room again.

Her skin turned red and visible puffs of steam rose from her body.

Judging from the noise coming from outside just now, she must have put in a lot of effort to deal with the heavy snow and the second snow.

Rhodes saw beads of sweat flowing down her forehead, and her flowing hair was stuck together by the sweat.

After thinking about it, he picked up the towel next to him, leaned over and gently wiped her cheek.

A comfortable touch on the face.

Sanxue, who was close to him, had a face that was originally just slightly red, but it suddenly became hot and bright red as if it was about to bleed.

After wiping her cheeks, Rhodes pointed out the window to express that he wanted to go out.

"Yes, I've already told the people in the village. They won't hurt you. Do you need me to go out with you?"

Rhodes held one side of her cheek with his palm, and the warm touch was intoxicating. Sanxue said dizzily.

Rhodes noticed that her steps were unsteady and guessed that she was exhausted from the fight just now.

He shook his head and simply helped Sanxue lie down on the bed.

Sanxue did not refuse. Her agile body, which was able to break a tree with a diameter of more than one meter and use it as a toy, now felt so light that she was pushed onto the bed like cotton.

Cover Sanxue with a blanket.

With her face half covered with a quilt and her shy gaze on her, Rhodes walked out of the room.

Two people were lying on the sofa in the hall, Daxue and Erxue, one horizontally and one vertically.

Their clothes were already tattered and they were placed together with starry eyes.

He looked at them with amusement, and when passing by the fireplace, he picked up a piece of charcoal next to it and fed it to the ash stove rat inside.

Allow it to provide constant warmth to the room.

Then he walked out the gate and came to the blacksmith shop in the center of the village as he knew the way.

The dwarf blacksmith was lying on a couch in the forge, half of his body hanging outside, listlessly pouring strong liquor into his mouth.

"You are finally here, come and help!"

When she saw Rhodes approaching, her face lit up with joy.

Throw the strong liquor into the iron furnace, jump under the huge fireball that gushed out,

As the surging heat wave hit him, Rhodes protected his face with his hands and followed the dwarf blacksmith into the scorching blacksmith shop.

A white steel sword was placed on the stand next to it.

In the light of the fire, the sword blade emitted an extremely sharp cold light.

This was exactly the sword that Rhodes saw the dwarf blacksmith forging when he first entered here.

The quality reaches first-order perfection.

If Rhodes had used this sword against the man in the wolf hat that night, it would have been enough to easily cut through the enemy's knight-level armor.

Rhodes also noticed that there were many other weapons placed next to the sword.

There are swords, long knives, one-handed axes and so on.

But they all have obvious defects, as if they were abandoned halfway through forging.

The dwarf blacksmith noticed his gaze and also looked at the scrapped white steel, saying unhappily:

"These are all my subsequent failed attempts. Damn it, I don't have enough energy to forge weapons of perfect quality."

"But I already have a hunch! As long as I succeed a few more times and successfully forge the Guardian Knight's white steel armor with perfect quality, I will be able to step into that realm!"

She said confidently, then took out a stack of forging drawings.

"Take it and have a good look at it. We'll start shortly!"

Regardless of whether Rhodes was willing or not, she stuffed it in his hand and hurried to prepare the materials.

"Guardian Knight Armor Set." Rhodes took the blueprint and sat on the table to read it. The dwarf blacksmith handed him a complete set of white steel light armor named "Ice and Snow Guardian".

The blueprint includes a helmet, arm armor, chest armor, and leg armor, and the quality is first-level perfect.

After the whole set is formed, a magic circuit can be constructed to activate the magic called [Ice and Snow Guardian].

Significantly reduces cold damage, slightly reduces physical damage.

"Armor with maximum cold resistance."

After Rhodes understood the blueprint, he had an idea.

Although ordinary first-level armor is strong, it relies on the superior performance of white steel.

There is no such magical effect that can be called magic.

This is an exclusive set of perfect-grade armor, a masterpiece of high-level dwarven craftsmen.

When Rhodes turned to the last page of the armor drawing, he unexpectedly discovered that this was not a set description, but a notice.

"Imperial decree from the Royal City of Eternal Winter, to all towns and villages in the Kingdom of Ice and Snow."

"Select the strongest warriors under the age of 20 and have them go to the royal city to participate in a tournament within a year. The winner will become the guardian knight of the newly born princess?"

Those were hieroglyphs similar to those used in the Northern Frost Principality. According to the context, Rhodes translated them word by word.

"Attached is the blueprint for the 'Ice and Snow Guardian'. Participants must equip the Guardian Knight armor to qualify for the competition."

After understanding the contents of the last page, Rhodes put down the drawing and thought about its meaning.

The princess mentioned in this edict, if nothing unexpected happens.

I'm afraid he is the one the Sanxue sisters mentioned, whose situation is similar to theirs.

"The City of Eternal Winter should be the ruling power in this spiritual world. Unfortunately, it has never been heard of in the history of the kingdom." Rhodes shook his head regretfully.

The Kingdom of Rosa has a history of just over three hundred years.

Further back, there is the family history of the Rosedale family migrating from the South.

As for the history of the North, even after the incorporation of the Northern Frost Principality, it can only be traced back to the war among kings five hundred years ago.

Rhodes had never heard of any records about the City of Eternal Winter.

But the princess's ability to exert such a great influence made Rhodes's guess about her key deepen.

Although he was curious about her, Rhodes knew that this had nothing to do with him at the moment.

Learning the forging technique of white steel is the focus now.

After the dwarf blacksmith had arranged the steel, mithril and other materials neatly, Rhodes came to her side.

Under the magical flames gushing out of a group of ash furnace rats, the two began their initial attempts at putting on the armor sets.

Compared to a white steel sword, a set of armor is several times more difficult to make.

Even with Rhodes' help, scenes of failure frequently occurred in the blacksmith shop.

The material fusion requirement of white steel means that this type of steel will be directly scrapped after one failure.

Unless it is used as ordinary steel, there is no possibility of remelting.

Fortunately, the dwarf blacksmith is patient.

After each forging failure, he would describe to Rhodes the key techniques of white steel forging, repeating them over and over again.

It is not only a reward for his help, but also a convenience for me to check my shortcomings.

There are practical demonstrations and explanations of the content.

During this process, Rhodes relied on the Eye of True Vision to efficiently learn relevant skills and absorb relevant knowledge like a sponge.

At the same time, I can compare it with my own alchemical witchcraft to gain a deeper understanding.
