Wizard starting from shoeing donkeys-Chapter 777 - 295: Bloodtop Mercenary Corps (Two-in-One Mega Chapter)_2
After all, Viery wielded a Dual-Handed Greatsword, which naturally had stronger attack power than a one-handed sword.
"Neoro, do you understand the ’Metal Barrier’ witchcraft? It’s a bit too powerful..." Angus turned his head and asked.
"Indeed, its power is extraordinary! It feels much stronger than the usual elemental defensive witchcraft. Logically speaking, it shouldn’t be!" Neoro also frowned in contemplation.
"If it’s not due to an extremely high elemental affinity, then there’s only one explanation."
"What explanation?" Angus immediately looked towards Neoro.
Upon hearing this, Evelyn couldn’t help but curiously look over with her beautiful eyes.
"It might have to do with the metal Lord Reine is using," Neoro said with an enlightened expression.
"I don’t know if you’ve noticed, but that dark Hardened Fine Gold Kite Shield Lord Reine is using is made from a special metal that has very high hardness and toughness."
"Even a Peak Knight would find it a bit difficult to break through," Neoro added, believing he had hit the nail on the head.
However, he soon had a wry smile on his face.
Because he immediately remembered something.
The Lord Reine standing in the center of the training field, defending himself as sturdy as a fortress, actually specialized in offense.
"Neoro, if you were to cast a spell attack, could you break through Lord Reine’s Metal Barrier?" Angus asked.
"Difficult! Did you see that dark silver metal on Lord Reine’s forearm?"
"Yes, what is it?" Angus’s face showed thoughtfulness; he seemed to have some impression of it.
"If I’m not mistaken, that should be Magic Silver, a metal with very high resistance to elemental energies of all kinds."
"That is to say, if Lord Reine has to face a wizard, he would likely use Magic Silver for resistance," Neoro said with crossed arms.
"Sss—Magic Silver! But... how many Merit Points would such a large piece cost?" Angus, having previously served in the army, naturally was aware of and had seen Magic Silver before.
Yet, most of the time, Magic Silver was used as a special coating applied in only a thin layer.
He had never seen such a large piece, thickly covering someone’s forearm like on Rein’s.
Moreover, how many Merit Points would be needed to exchange for it!
At this point, the clear glint in Evelyn’s beautiful eyes was unmistakable.
"Angus, don’t forget. Captain Reine completed one diamond-ranked mission in addition to four gold-ranked missions. Do you think he would lack Merit Points?"
When Neoro said this, he didn’t forget to glance at the red-haired beauty Evelyn.
In fact, there was something he hadn’t said out loud.
He gave away three Silver-rated medals and two thousand Merit Points as a mere gift.
It’s probable that their captain had at least tens of thousands of Merit Points; exchanging for some Magic Silver should be nothing.
Originally, they also didn’t know that Reine had completed a diamond-ranked mission.
It was not until just now, when Reine invited them to exchange training lessons, that they discovered they were in a diamond-star treatment suite!
This was located inside a three-story building next to the training field.
The entire third floor, covering more than eight thousand square feet, only had less than twenty suites, which was where the Sword Holder Mingster Branch arranged accommodations for diamond-starred captains.
Each suite had a small training room, bedroom, dining room, living room, and so on, fully equipped.
In addition, there was a dedicated domestic service team in the corridor, available to be summoned 24/7 at the press of a button.
When they arrived just now, they were simply astounded!
In comparison, their newcomers’ dormitory was completely squalid.
"Angus, it’s your turn."
Leaning on his Dual-Handed Greatsword, Viery was already huffing and puffing, yet he hadn’t even touched Rein’s sleeve.
In high-speed, full-power combat, even a Great Knight would deplete most of his strength in about ten minutes and need to rest and adjust.
"Alright!" Angus stepped forward excitedly, banging his sword and shield together twice.
Previously, Angus didn’t know, until his chat just now, that Reine could also offer many suggestions on the combination and connection of sword and shield techniques.
This greatly surprised him!
Because Angus had always thought that Reine specialized in Two-Handed Warhammers and greatswords, he had never imagined that the latter would also be versed in sword and shield techniques.
No, ’versed’ was not the right word; it should be ’mastered.’
Reine’s mastery of sword and shield techniques could very well be no less than his own.
...
About ten minutes later, Angus, wielding his sword and shield, was also huffing and puffing, sweating profusely.
Then, Neoro, tightening his grip on his short staff, stepped forward.
Seeing Neoro, Reine smiled slightly and slowly used his innate wizardry ’Metal Morphing Spell.’ He retracted the Hardened Fine Gold Kite Shield originally on three sides and covered both knight gauntlets and forearms with it.
And the Magic Silver originally on the forearms was transformed into a dark silver-colored Kite Shield.
Of course, he deliberately took about ten seconds to do this process. ƒгeewebnovёl.com
It wasn’t that Reine was intentionally being secretive; it was just too cumbersome to explain.
He thought, when the level of Metal Barrier improved and the speed of the spell casting increased significantly, he would be able to trick others with a fake, making it difficult for them to distinguish which was the innate wizardry.
Seeing this, Neoro couldn’t help but show a wry smile, saying, "Captain Reine, you’re really targeting me, aren’t you?"
This comment made the red-haired beauty Evelyn next to them chuckle, her body trembling with laughter for a moment.
