“Sivri, how far are you with the belt prep?” he asked friendly.
“Almost done, why?” the golden dwarf asked, looking up.
“Could you finish the snake head? Then I would start on the belt,” he offered. Sivri looked over at the crown.
The snake was almost done, but Seth realized that he was getting lost in details. The best way to deal with work like this was to give it to soone else. His ti was better spent working on the belt. Sivri, as Goldsmith and Enchanter, had already proven her aesthetic talents.
Apart from the snake head, the crown was only missing the inlays and engravings. Both were tasks Sivri could finish instead of him. After all, it was her who had cut the for the crown. The blueprint simply defined a black mineral or gem of epic rating, so Seth had gotten it from the Auction house because of its benign effects.
“Alright!”, she answered happily, seemingly satisfied with the more artistic task, over stringing together beads and ornants.
The two craftsn switched their tasks and Seth began working on the belt. It was a wide belt, covering the whole belly and transitioning into an armor skirt. Similar to the Usekh, it was a mix of scale, chain, and ornants.
Scales and chain were the blacksmith’s calling, while the golden dwarf had already prepared the ornants and strings of beads that would be interwoven with the armor. Although he called them scales, they were closer to armor plates and similar in size to the Wyvern Scales Seth had used on the Wyvern Armor back in the day.
As the scales took shape, Sivri was busy in the background filing and shaping away at the crown. The few glances Seth threw in her direction cald him. He had definitely made the right decision, as the rough head of the cobra now started looking fierce and dangerous as if it would bite any mont.
After the blacksmith forged and engraved the Scales, Sivri was also done with the snake and moved to the black inlays on the crown. Seth now moved on to the tedious task of making mail from .
The chain skirt would be the foundation to which primarily the ornants would be attached. Although the scales would also be fastened to the mail, they were mostly supported by the wide belt. Like the Usekh, the mix of armor and ornants would create a complicated formation that would increase the protection and speed of the wearer.
“I’m done, should I help?” Sivri asked three hours later, shortly after Seth heard the notification.
“Oh? Let see!” the blacksmith said excitedly. He took the crown from the golden dwarf, who brought it over.
Similar to the Usekh, the crown leaned more towards magical skills, though its effects were closer to the concept of royal dignity. Or at least it seed like it until he read the effects of the Scarlet Lord. The effect raised overall stats by 50% when the wearer was covered in blood.
The Active Skill: Royal Decree, was more in line to what the na suggested. The skill was similar to or Seth's , as it could suppress opponents in a large area of effect. The crown also inherited the effects of and increased health Regeneration.
It also unlocked a new set effect. In synergy with the Usekh, the effect of was increased and it unlocked the skill , which would improve the wearer's power in single combat.
“Now, all that is left is the belt... I would be glad if you helped finish it.”
The blacksmith was working on the chain for the skirt and gladly accepted her help in weaving and riveting the rings. Together, they managed to finish the chain skirt an hour later and began adding the ornants according to the blueprint.
As for the wide belt everything would attach to, there was no specification for the type of leather to be used in the blueprint. This was why Seth had sent a ssage to Wedan before they had even begun working and the reason for the dwarf's visit. The bard had rembered that they had so quite special leather at ho.
He was lucky, as the young dwarf had not yet started working with the leather of the Guivre, that the leader of Gamma Resistance had offered to them. The hide of a quasi-dragon seed fitting for the holy armants of a god.
In addition, it was incredibly tough and durable, with the effects of improved defense, strength, and speed. It was not the dragon scales that offered damage negation, but the Guivre also wasn’t a legendary dragon. If Seth had to co up with a comparison, then a Guivre was probably closer to an Imugi like Tatzel, or maybe his mother before she beca a golem deity.
It didn’t take too much effort for the blacksmith with on the craftsman level to stitch and reinforce the leather to the blueprint's specifications. They added the various embellishnts before finally adding the scales and chain skirt.
30 points to all Stats.>
The second notification of the day sounded, as they finished the final piece of the Slaughterer’s Set. And it ca together with an improvent of the title, too. Yet, Seth felt a little underwheld. He expected more from a special set, however, he accepted it since he didn't really put any of himself in it. He just produced soone else's blueprint.
On the other hand, his rose, making him quite happy.
