Wizard: I brought the wrong system.

Chapter 222 The True Knight

Yaro wasn't wearing heavy armor before, and even using the full power of his Fiery Sword Technique was too much for him, let alone wearing it inside a metal can.

Things are different now. In the past, the Fiery Heavy Sword used only the lowest quality fire-melting stone.

Now, the Fiery Greatsword not only uses the most expensive and best fire-melting stone, but also has a Lava Eye in the middle of the sword, worth seventy magic stones!

Especially when using the charged fire technique, even if all the firepower is directed forward, it feels as if you are standing next to gushing lava.

It's unrealistic to expect the same heat dissipation as heavy lead and iron armor; there aren't enough materials to create a new Ice Breathing Array.

[The power array on the hilt of the spare Fiery Sword Technique can be disassembled, and an opening can be made in the back of the heavy armor neck to add a water-cooling device.]

The water cooling device will naturally bring in a lot of water vapor, and when you sweat, a lot of sweat will accumulate in the armor. If you don't find a way to expel this water vapor, the heat will not be able to dissipate either, the water cooling device will become useless, and the armor will become heavier and heavier, directly affecting the body's reaction speed.

Therefore, a large number of ventilation holes need to be added in many places on heavy armor. With enough ventilation holes, as air is constantly drawn in from the back, the pressure inside the heavy armor increases. Under the action of pressure, the dense, humid air inside the armor can be expelled.

This modification would reduce the defensive capabilities of heavy armor, so the ventilation holes must be placed in less critical areas.

At the same time, there shouldn't be too many ventilation holes on the upper body, otherwise the cold air that is inhaled later will be completely lost before it even reaches the armor underneath.

“I don’t need a helmet because the Cat Fist still relies on the sense of movement through the fur, and my best sense of movement is definitely my head. The helmet on the heavy armor needs to be removed, but in order to prevent the air I inhale from escaping through my neck, the opening in my neck must be tightened.”

“The soldiers’ heavy armor has many protective parts on the joints. Although I also need protection on my joints, these parts greatly affect the flexibility of my limbs, so they must be modified.”

[The joint space of the heavy armor will be widened, and the close-fitting curve outside the joints will be straightened.]

……

[Summary of all areas requiring modification]

[The helmet was removed, the breastplate was disassembled into two halves in an arc shape, holes were drilled in the back of the upper body breastplate to install a power magic array, the neck was narrowed, the joints were finely adjusted, and dense exhaust vents were created in the limbs.]

After completing the design, Yaro went to the armory entrance to find soldiers wearing heavy armor.

Then, Yaro discovered a problem he had overlooked... all the heavy armor was the same size, and none of it was the right size for his height.

Equipment for heavily armored infantry could not possibly be made in different sizes.

Generally speaking, the owner of a territory will only look for people who are the height required for heavy armor, not the other way around.

This means that for every single joint component, Yaro needs to cut, modify, and adjust it.

Fortunately, Yaro had experience in making lead-iron armor and knew the specific data for modification.

"Heat Melting Technique!"

The pile of molten rocks ignited instantly, emitting a blinding light.

The finest firestone can withstand temperatures of over 2,000 degrees Celsius, while iron has a melting point of only around 1,500 degrees Celsius. In addition, firestone contains a rich amount of fire elements, making its heat penetrating power exceptionally strong. After only a short time, half of the breastplate was already a dazzling crimson.

"It's softened a bit!"

Yaro's eyes were extremely serious. He immediately took action to secure the breastplate, then picked up the spare Fiery Greatsword and used the sharp crystal on the outer edge of the Fiery Greatsword to meticulously carve the softened area.

The massive, fiery greatsword moved with the agility of a needle in Yaro's hands. The blade deftly deflected, slicing through gleaming metal sheets like blocks of tofu, creating a torrential downpour that sent sparks flying across the ground.

The breastplate is getting smaller and smaller, and half of the body has already been cut off by Yaro. The next step is to carve out the mortise and tenon structure!

Cat-shaped punches and running – activate!
The arm that had been creating an illusion suddenly stopped.

Slow—yet smooth!
The delicate edges and corners gradually took shape on the heavy armor, as if it were meant to have this structure, only previously covered by other metals. Now, Yaro used his greatsword to remove the excess dust, revealing its original structure. By the time Yaro had finished carving, the temperature he had been waiting for had just reached the desired level.

"laugh--!"

The cold water tank continued to boil, and when the water gradually calmed down, a semi-finished but already usable heavy armor upper body was completed.

……

Tap tap, tap tap tap—!
The heavy clatter of hooves maintained the rhythm, echoing along the dark country lane.

Even a slightly experienced soldier could tell that the rhythm of the hoofbeats was perfectly timed – the rhythm of a half-charge by a scaly horn horse!

What is a semi-assault?
The Scalehorn Horse's explosive charge has a limited distance, so experienced riders maintain a specific rhythm before truly getting close to the enemy.

The most experienced soldiers could tell from the sound of hooves that the approaching figure was an invincible ruler of the battlefield—a fully armed, formal knight!

There's a saying among the people of the Weis Federation: a dismounted knight is not as good as a mounted rider.

The point of this joke is that only the formal knights on horseback are true knights!
An average horse weighs around half a ton, but when sprinting, it can reach a speed of twenty meters per second!

Half a ton of dead flesh, crashing down at a speed of twenty meters per second, would probably be enough to give a regular knight a hard time, not to mention there was a rider on top wielding a lance!

What terrifying power it must be to concentrate half a ton of force, twenty meters per second, all at the tip of a spear.

At this point, it is the rider himself who limits the exertion of this power.

If the spearhead doesn't break off on its own, an ordinary rider will be thrown over by the enormous reaction force!
What if the person sitting up there is a full-fledged knight?

What if the mount was a unicorn horse weighing over a ton?
What if a knight wore full heavy armor?

The charge launched by these combinations.

I ask you—who dares to stand in my way?

……

"Da da, da da da..."

The dull thud of hooves, filled with a strong sense of oppression, broke the silence of the night sky. Countless dazed shadows were drawn by the sound and stiffly got up.

“This is…” Yaro suddenly stood up and listened intently.

"The sound of a unicorn horse's hooves! Moreover, the sound is very rhythmic, indicating a high level of skill in riding!"

After listening to only a short while, Yaro roughly guessed who the visitor was.

The fact that she could approach from that direction, possess such riding skills, and dare to ride alone on horseback late at night strongly suggests that it was Claire!

"All those shadow puppets have been activated!"

Just like the two shadow puppet maidens that Yaro had seen before, so much time had passed that the other shadow puppets had long since been activated. It was just that Yaro had been modifying his armor on the second floor of the castle, so he hadn't encountered them.

"Will Claire be a match for them?"

"Those are all my experience points, I can't let Claire steal them!"

With these conflicting thoughts in mind, Yaro, disregarding his fatigue, put down his tools, grabbed the Fiery Greatsword, and quickly ran outside.
