Nine-layer armor-breaking

Chapter 208 Armor (New book has been released, please support!)
"There are two shields in the arsenal now, one large and one small. The large shield has a larger defensive area, but is relatively heavier to use; the small shield is the opposite."

Senior Brother Cheng picked up two shields from a corner and placed them in front of Jiang Xuan.

Jiang Xuan took a look and saw that there were indeed two shields of different sizes. The larger one was a kite-shaped shield, and the smaller one was a small round shield, both made of black material.

He took the zither-shaped shield and the small round shield in his hands respectively, drew out the dagger from his waist, stepped back a few steps, and practiced a few moves coordinating the dagger and shield.

To Jiang Xuan's surprise, when he held the small round shield in his hand, he not only felt that it was more flexible to use, but also felt safer and more coordinated when it was combined with the short knife in his hand.

Jiang Xuan no longer hesitated and asked Senior Brother Cheng, "Senior Brother Cheng, where did this small round shield come from?"

Senior Brother Cheng seemed very surprised by Jiang Xuan's choice. He scratched his head and thought about it.

"I picked up this shield from outside. I forgot whether it was from the Xu or Xing family's grounds, but it's definitely not the Jiang family's grounds. I rarely inspect the Jiang family's grounds."

"Hehe, although the Xu and Xing families have big businesses, they don't know much about weapons and equipment. There are treasures like this on the field, but they treat them as ordinary weapons and hand them over to their personal guards." Jiang Xuan was secretly happy.

However, perhaps Senior Brother Cheng was afraid that Jiang Xuan might get carried away and choose the wrong weapon, so he warned, "Junior Brother Ling, this top-tier weapon is no ordinary item. Junior Brother Ling, please be cautious."

"I'm sorry, Junior Brother Ling, I did pick up this small round shield outside. Although it has been identified as a top-grade shield, it is not originally in the warehouse. It feels a little lacking." Senior Brother Cheng still advised Jiang Xuan with concern.

Senior Brother Cheng thought for a moment and added, "Besides, this small round shield is the smallest in the arsenal. Unlike weapons, it's for defense. If it's too large, it affects its flexibility. But with an area like this, isn't it a little small?"

"Senior Brother Cheng, it's okay, just choose it." Jiang Xuan looked at Senior Brother Cheng and said with a firm gaze.

"Okay." Seeing that he couldn't persuade him any further, Senior Brother Cheng had to give up.

After searching in another corner, Brother Cheng almost fell into the pile of armor.

A quarter of an hour later, Senior Brother Cheng finally emerged from the pile of armor with a happy look on his face.

"Found it, found it." Senior Brother Cheng said to Jiang Xuan with a smile, holding a helmet and a shoulder armor in his hands.

"What is this?" It took Senior Brother Cheng a quarter of an hour to search for these two pieces of armor. Jiang Xuan instantly became interested in them.

"These are two pieces of armor in a set, and both are top-tier. If they are used together, they will definitely achieve twice the result with half the effort." Senior Brother Cheng expressed his thoughts.

In fact, this is not the first time that Senior Brother Cheng has recommended these two pieces of armor to the new guards.

However, unfortunately, most of the junior brothers who join the ranks will give priority to top-level body armor, so they can only choose one of these two helmets and shoulder armor.

For some reason, when some junior brothers asked to choose only one of the helmet and shoulder armor, they were always rejected by Senior Brother Cheng.

Brother Cheng believes that the combination of this helmet and shoulder armor has the effect of one plus one being greater than two, and it would be a waste to choose either one separately.

However, in the past, new junior brothers had to choose top-level armor no matter what.

Therefore, this set of helmets and shoulder armor has never been distributed and can only be hidden in the warehouse and gather dust.

Now, this junior brother who has just joined the royal guards has actually given up on choosing top-level armor.

In this way, Brother Cheng has the possibility to recommend this set of helmet and shoulder armor as a whole.

Seeing that this set of armor was about to be recommended, Brother Cheng, despite being covered in dust, was extremely excited. "This helmet and shoulder armor were stored in this warehouse when I came to the City Lord's Mansion."

"These two pieces of armor work best together. But everyone, including me, prefers top-tier body armor. To avoid waste, these two pieces have been kept until now."

With Senior Brother Cheng's strong recommendation, Jiang Xuan took the helmet and shoulder armor handed to him by Senior Brother Cheng and looked at them carefully in his hands.

At first glance, there was nothing special about it, except that its color was somewhat similar to his own set of fine iron armor.

But in terms of weight, these two pieces of armor are much lighter than the set of fine iron armor.

In this way, Jiang Xuan basically ruled out the possibility that these two pieces of armor were made of the same material as his set of fine iron armor.

However, upon closer inspection, Jiang Xuan discovered that the helmet and shoulder armor had the same extremely fine dark patterns.

At this point, Jiang Xuan still hadn't made up his mind to choose this set of armor, so he looked at the corner where the armor was stored.

How could Senior Brother Cheng not see the meaning behind Jiang Xuan's actions? He hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Don't worry, Junior Brother Ling. Since it's armor, why don't you try it on?"

Although Senior Brother Cheng's tone was a little too eager, it made people feel that he was hawking something.

But Jiang Xuan thought about it and felt that what Senior Brother Cheng said made sense.

Since weapons need to be practiced a few times, it is also very reasonable to wear them as armor and try them out.

Jiang Xuan slowly put on the helmet from the armor and felt a sense of security. That sense of security was somewhat similar to the round shield he had felt before.

As a result, Jiang Xuan became more interested in this set of armor.

Afterwards, Jiang Xuan put on the pair of shoulder armor with the help of Senior Brother Cheng.

At the moment when the shoulder armor was put on, Jiang Xuan actually felt that the helmet and the shoulder armor seemed to have merged into one.

In this way, Jiang Xuan truly believed that this set of armor was indeed a set of armor that needed to be used in conjunction with each other.

Experiencing the unprecedented sense of security brought by this set of armor, Jiang Xuan naturally no longer hesitated and said to Senior Brother Cheng beside him, "Senior Brother Cheng, let's choose these two."

Jiang Xuan originally wanted to calm down a bit and choose this set of armor with a more tactful way of saying, for example, that he didn't want to trouble Senior Brother Cheng to look for it again.

But when the words came to his lips, Jiang Xuan still said something direct and straightforward like "face".

He decided on this set of armor. He believed that at the warrior stage alone, this set of armor would definitely provide him with extremely powerful defensive capabilities.

"Junior Brother Ling, you have a good eye. This set of armor can finally be used to its greatest advantage." Senior Brother Cheng looked very excited.

In Jiang Xuan's opinion, just by recommending this set of armor, it was as if Senior Brother Cheng had gotten a great deal.

So much so that even though Jiang Xuan realized the extraordinary nature of this set of armor, facing Senior Brother Cheng's expression and reaction, he once thought that there must be something fishy about this set of armor.

However, reason still told Jiang Xuan that his choice was right. Senior Brother Cheng was excited about this, as it must be the fulfillment of his long-cherished wish.
