Ye Muyu finally received the iron pieces on the day before Chu Heng’s departure.
She spent an hour connecting the pieces, creating armor. Each piece stood alone yet restrained each other, polished smooth. After chopping at it with a sword, Ye Muyu found that the blade slid off. Another chop produced a clink but did not break through the defense.
However, her strength was small, so the results didn’t count.
That afternoon, she went to the training ground and put the armor on a straw dummy.
She said to Lu Chuan, "You attack."
Lu Chuan hesitated, "Lady, what if I break it?"
"This is armor. If you break it, it ans it’s unqualified. What’s there to hesitate about?" Ye Muyu waved her hand, irritated by his indecision, and directly commanded.
Lu Chuan dared not disobey the order; he closed his eyes and reluctantly brought the knife down.
The sound of tal striking tal rang out.
Ye Muyu remarked quietly, "Didn’t you eat enough?"
Clearly, she saw through Lu Chuan’s half-hearted effort. Lu Chuan felt bitter, fearing that he might accidentally damage the gift the lady prepared for the lord. As soone who has been by Chu Heng’s side, he knew how much the lord valued gifts from the lady.
One could tell by looking at the miscellaneous long-term storage gifts in the wooden box in the lord’s study.
The lord would periodically take these gifts out, wipe them down, and store them with different thods, clearly cherishing them deeply.
If the lord knew he damaged the armor the lady made for him, would he still have his life?
Despite his resentnt, Lu Chuan dared not disobey Ye Muyu’s orders. The gifts and the lady’s orders were both the lord’s bottom lines, so either way, he was in trouble. His expression was beyond distressed.
He walked over and used eighty percent of his strength to chop at the armor.
With a loud clang, Ye Muyu, standing by the side, saw sparks fly where the blade t the armor.
The armor Ye Muyu prepared was based on the principles of chain mail.
Chain mail consists of many tightly fastened iron links, usually forming upper body armor, protecting the shoulders and arms down to the knees.
The iron links are about the size of a coin, and densely tying these links together makes chain mail very resistant to cold weapons.
Despite having gaps, it is impenetrable by swords, spears, or arrows.
Its mobility is also very high, as the size of the iron links and the length and size of the armor are adjustable and controllable.
It’s sowhat like knitting a very complex sweater.
When Ye Muyu made it, it was indeed woven from iron pieces. She made so modifications, so if an iron link fell off, it could be replaced with a new one, making it easier to repair.
Of course, the biggest advantage is its better breathability, being lighter and softer while providing protection, making movent more flexible and convenient.
Lu Chuan was shocked. He touched the undamaged chain mail, feeling a hint of residual warmth, confirming what he saw wasn’t an illusion.
"What are you doing?" Chu Heng’s voice ca from the door, his presence unnoticed until now.
Ye Muyu, thrilled to hear his voice, ran over and pulled him in.
Chu Heng felt the warmth on his wrist and smiled faintly, following her lead forward.
Seeing Chu Heng return, Lu Chuan quickly said, "Lord, the lady is amazing. This armor withstood eighty percent of my strength without a scratch."
