Mage Legend-Chapter 11: Episode 3: The Dock_3

www.cmfu.com发布 Knight Macken stood motionless amidst the piercing shriek, gently stroking the mane of his steed to soothe it while observing the situation on the ship. Obviously, the Fishmen on the ship closer to the shriek were hit more severely. The Fishman who was just speaking by the ship's side was directly shocked into bleeding from his face by the scream and without even a chance to wail, he fell overboard onto the dock, dead.

www.cmfu.com发布 "Hehehehe, in front of me, no one can gain an advantage on humans!" As these words were spoken, everyone's eyes turned to an old man behind the guards. Dressed in a gray, wide Mage Robe but without a hood, a shiny bald head below trailed a beard white and long down to his chest. Bony fingers brushed against protruding cheekbones, and slightly reddish eyes blinked uncertainly behind thick glasses. Every time a breeze came, the old man had to wipe away the tears at the corners of his eyes.

www.cmfu.com发布 "Sir Gangsa and Knight Macken, is it not? You should know I am coming, that little rascal Lynch should have arrived for 3 days already, right!" The old man adjusted his robe, wiping some water stains from his sleeve with a handkerchief, then circled around the dense formation of guards. "What are you waiting for, go take over those two ships! There are many armors needing transport!"

www.cmfu.com发布 Sir Gangsa and Knight Macken dismounted and walked together towards the sudden appearance of the old Mage. Ever since their subordinate, the Quasi-knight Wislin, reported three days ago, they knew the Mage Association was sending one of their seven Great Mages, Kuziman, to assist Moon Harbor City's defense. This was the highest level of aid ever dispatched by the Mage Association. Sir Gangsa was calculating in his mind what kind of benefits the temple must have promised to invite a Great Mage, while quickly drying his sweaty palms from the earlier shock with a handkerchief, extending his hand friendlily towards the old Mage.

www.cmfu.com发布 The Great Mage only lightly touched the Duke's hand, "Mr. Duke, can I ask where my accommodation is? When will we start investigating Moon Harbor City's defenses? From my perspective, the current defenses are only good enough against Kobolds. As for the Giants..."

www.cmfu.com发布 Knight Macken seemed oblivious to the Mage's criticism of the defense work he was responsible for. He merely brushed the engraving on his breastplate lightly and nodded slightly to the Mage as a greeting, then turned to direct the guards in offloading their long-awaited new armors.

www.cmfu.com发布 Mage Kuziman started to talk incessantly about the defenses a city should have, about arcane force field walls and chain trigger traps, leaving the Duke, who didn't understand magic at all, dizzy. Helplessly, the Duke called upon his escort knight to "escort" the Great Mage to his residence for a rest.

www.cmfu.com发布 The guards were extra cautious as they boarded the ship, fearful that another Fishman might jump out from a corner. After a long time, and confirming there were no other living creatures on board besides the Fishman bodies who bled from every orifice and died from the shock, the dock workers gathered and started working hard for their week's livelihood.

www.cmfu.com发布 Huge crates were moved to the dock one by one, causing Knight Macken to beam with joy upon seeing the brand-new armor. This armor indeed lived up to Dwarven craftsmanship; every steel plate and joint was exquisitely carved. If his soldiers donned such armor, not to mention anything else, merely boosting morale would be an invaluable boon in war.

www.cmfu.com发布 Sir Gangsa and his clerk were tallying the quantity of the goods one by one. As night fell, the dock's goods began transporting slowly towards the barracks under guard escort. Just then, the Duke's clerk suddenly ran over: "Sir, this is bad. The goods are completely offloaded, but there's no sign of the Giant Crossbows you ordered!"

www.cmfu.com发布 Startled, the Duke immediately snatched the inventory list from the clerk's hand. Upon close examination, indeed, there were no record of the Giant City Defense Crossbows. Knight Macken gazed at the two large cargo ships, through the layers of masts and sails, staring at the vast sea reflecting the sunset.

www.cmfu.com发布 Mithril: Mithril is a very rare, silvery metal, although lighter than iron, it has the same hardness. Forged like iron, it becomes a superb material for making armor and is occasionally used for other items. Most Mithril armor is regarded as a lighter grade armor considering movement speed and other limitations: Heavy armor is considered medium, medium armor is considered light, though light armor remains light. Mining this metal is extremely difficult, only skilled Dwarf Miners can extract the purest Mithril Ore, and artisans from the Elf Clan are the best Mithril armor makers on the continent.
