Chapter: 429
“Hmm…” Jay looked at his new armour, happy with the bigger armour bonus – compared to his vambraces and greaves anyway.
The final step was to try it on.
“Awesome, perfect fit” he smiled, glad that he wouldn’t have to make another.
Before making some helmets for his skeletons too, he decided to see what else he could make.
Pauldrons, which were like shoulder armour, would not work because they would have to be strapped on with some sort of leather bindings – and that would require latches to be made into them, which Jay wasn’t confident with yet.
Still, he decided to have a go anyway. The basic cup-shape of the shoulder armour was made – next, he made a long strand of bone and attached it at two points.
For whatever reason, it simply wouldn’t attach. Jay tried adding more mana to the pauldron and the strand to make them more liquid-like and mix, but then some of the strand became so skinny that it would have snapped.
“Damn… It’s simply beyond my level right now.” Jay lightly frowned.
“Oh well, I’ll get there,” he encouraged himself.
Jay summoned Sweeper once again – he needed a head to test a skeletal helmet on after all.
Immediately he got to work, crafting a slightly smaller helmet. The first turned out to be a little too small, and nearly got stuck on Sweeper’s head while it was half-on.
Thankfully, the second one fit perfectly.
Next, Jay crafted three more of the T-visor helmets for his skeletons.
Even though he made them slightly smaller to fit their fleshless skulls, they still ended up having the ‘necrotic’ prefix in their names – same as Jay’s.
“I guess it’s since they weren’t specifically made for the undead?” he shrugged.
“Oh well, I think that’s enough crafting for now.. My mana is pretty low.”
Jay ate another bondtussle root, refreshing his mana regen buff to one hour before collecting all his bones and armour pieces.
Walking to the door of his room, he took out Estobar’s journal and gazed at it for a moment.
“Hmm, later… I’m too busy today.” Jay stashed the book away as fast as he took it out.
“Now, time to see how many bones my helminth has for me” he turned to de-summon Sweeper again, but paused…
This was when Jay noticed something different about Sweeper, for some reason it caused a shiver to go up Jay’s spine.
“… You’re still wearing the greaves and vambraces… even after I re-summoned you?”
“… You’re still wearing the greaves and vambraces… even after I re-summoned you?” Jay glared at Sweeper with his eyes bulging.
He was simply too intrigued to leave his room now.
