Reborn As A Ghost: Time To Build My Undead Army!-Chapter 466 Everyone Is Willing To Learn New Things
-----
Currently Lucifer had finished cooking his stew and grilled meat skewers from some of the birds we hunted recently. The meat of the Brawler Birds was especially tender and incredibly tasty. Was this because they were actually Phoenix Chicks? Their meat might be incredibly valuable and we are just eating it like nothing.
"Uoooh! This meat is so tasty!"
"Yeah, I've never eaten a chicken this delicious before… Thanks a lot papa!"
Takeshi and Laura were happy of the meal, and Lucifer for the first time was able to feel what it felt to cook for those he cared for and seeing their happy faces as they enjoyed the food he put so much time and effort into cooking.
"Ahh… I-It is nothing, the meat is just very high quality. I… I am not as good as Maria, but I am slowly learning." Lucifer said while averting his gaze from the kids, feeling flustered. He was just very cute for an old and grumpy dragon sometimes.
However, aside from that small interaction, we were discussing something else entirely right now. Something quite important and an idea I had gotten while thinking about how I acquired the Resistance Skill, and if there was a way to get an accessory with Resistance to elements, or perhaps armor which might be more effective. f𝗿𝗲e𝒘e𝚋n૦𝘃𝙚𝑙.com
"Oh, an accessory that grants resistance to Holy Light…?" Asked Emeraldine. "I guess it might be possible. Armor as well. Most Magic Items come with special magic powers which are imbued into the wearer right away. Sometimes a mere necklace can give amazing resistance to Fire Element even when it is not even shielding the skin of a person. Or a Ring that grants incredible physical damage resistance but it is not armor covering the body."
I guess this world's magic equipment is the equivalent to game-like items I've seen in MMO and literally any other RPG with equipment items systems. There is of course normal clothes and armor too, like just crafted out of non-magic items that just serve the most basic of purposes.
However, advanced crafters, alchemists, blacksmiths, and so on, using the right materials, are capable of creating these magic equipment. And of course, dungeons as well, which drop them sometimes. Of course, dungeon equipment seem to often be seen as "the bottom of the barrel" as their stats and effects are often subpar compared to crafted items made by talented people.
But some high ranked dungeons might give awesome equipment when defeating a boss, so it is often debatable. Some even say that it is just the crafters not wanting people to devalue their job just because they can sometimes get a dropped item. I guess I can understand that though.
"Hm, armor wouldn't suit me as I tend to transform." Said Lucifer.
"I can merge my dress with my phantom body mostly because I ended cursing it into some sort of Cursed Dress, but it still quite low quality. I can wear other stuff sometimes but when I shapeshift, it ends up either braking or I am forced to get naked and store it in my inventory." I sighed.
"I guess I and Emeraldine are the only ones that can wear normal armor, but armor that's too heavy gets in the way." Partner pointed out. "That's why I just wear some chest armor and shoulder pads."
Partner was currently wearing a tight black jeans with black boots made all out of monster materials we had bought back on the duchy of Affnaria. We still got tons of scales from monsters we hunted there in that dungeon, but we had yet to use them properly.
Her equipment wasn't bad per say, it enhanced her speed and agility the most, and she had a white blouse with red and gray armor over her chest and shoulders, protecting her weak point which is her heart. If Vampires get their heart pierced by something strong they often become paralyzed and can die on the spot if their HP is not high enough.
"Hm, I see, I see…" Emeraldine said. Meanwhile, she was wearing more lighter clothes, with a similar armor than Partner but lighter to protect the area where her heart was as well as one of her shoulders. It seems that archers often put armor in only one shoulder to protect them from the string and the arrow, or something…
She had brown boots, tight leather pants and a white blouse with green and brown decorations of trees, a theme she seemed to love naturally as an Elf. She also often wore something for the cold, but this place was very warm so there was no need. She often had gloves as well, specially imbued with magic that enhance her accuracy and finger's dexterity.
Meanwhile, Lucifer was using his classic butler-like suit which he liked. We often bought him a few other pairs for him to wear because whenever he transformed he end up breaking them. This time he was wearing a special one we found out, which had magic thread, whenever he transformed the clothes would turn into magic essence and seemingly disappear, only to reappear again after he went back to his humanoid form, pretty convenient.
"I suppose I'll need the aid of more crafters. I'll ask Darfu and the other two dwarves, and probably Helga's husband, Myriad, who is also quite talented. If we want to give you all some sweet new equipment, we need to prepare well for that." Said Emeraldine. She seemed completely ready to take on the task though.
"I can also help! I am getting better at Alchemy and I'll eventually learn Crafting and Blacksmith as well as Accessory Crafting even, I want to learn everything I can so I will help and make our own equipment too." I said with a nod. I wasn't going to give up.
"Hmph… I guess a dragon as strong as me can learn some Blacksmith, I may have some talent for it." Said Lucifer "I just have the hunch."
"Well I… I might learn Alchemy!" Said Partner. "And fail miserably…"
We might have to help Partner to learn Alchemy a bit more, she was getting there… eventually.
