When Polu stood in front of the starting city gate, he thought of those not-so-distant afternoons when he struggled painfully in training.
In those afternoons I spent rolling in the mud, falling in the ice and snow, getting clothes wet on my shoulders, and the hair on my forehead flowing into my eyes.
At the beginning, you only had to run with bare hands. Later, the weight of the inspection equipment was added, and then the armor was worn on the body. After one month of training, Palma said: "You are the most improved person I have ever seen."
people."
In front of Leonardo, Polu wore a breastplate, carried the inspection equipment, and completed the test neatly. "Good boy, do you want to follow me and become a knight?" Leonardo patted Polu on the head.
Shoulder.
"I already have a teacher, and I also like alchemy very much." Lang Dao showed a pleased smile.
"What a pity." Leonardo smacked his lips. "Now that we are ready, we will set off the day after tomorrow! Just prepare your own equipment. Remember, the simpler, the better."
After the test was over, both Palma and Leah came over: "We will leave the day after tomorrow. You have to have a good rest tomorrow." This is Leah.
"Tsk, I want to go too, but my uncle won't let me."
Palma had a look of resentment on his face. "I also want to see the wilderness."
"So you are such a good child? If you don't let me, why don't you just sneak out? I will always sneak out over the wall." Leah sneered at Palma.
"If that doesn't work, you put on makeup and pretend to be the guide of the reconnaissance team."
"That makes sense! Then I'll sneak out tomorrow and see you when we set off directly. Now go back and prepare!"
"Polu, remember to bring less things with you!" Leah kept reminding him when she left.
Returning to the large warehouse of the Machinery Institute, Lang Dao patted Bolu on the shoulder: "You are very good, the teacher is very happy. In this month, you not only learned to control flames and simple processing, but also learned to find water sources and toxins.
Detection, I believe you can come back alive. But we are alchemists, we not only have to be confident, but we also have to be prepared. Here, take this." Lang Dao handed out a talisman from his sleeve.
Bolu took it with both hands: "Teacher, what is this?"
"Amulet for death." Even Polu, who lacks knowledge of the mysteries of this world, knows how valuable something that can save lives is: "Teacher, this is too precious!"
"Take it and come back alive. I can make the amulet myself that can only protect against damage below legendary level. By the way, I made an agreement with Leonardo before. Once you complete the mission and come back alive, I will give you an honor."
Knight title. You are considered a small noble! Even if it is not hereditary, it is impossible to have a fief."
"When you complete the task, the teacher probably won't stay here anymore. Come find me at this address."
Lang Dao stood up and took a deep look at Bolu: "Come back alive!"
After seeing off the teacher, Bolu returned to his place and began to prepare his own luggage. The first priority was to obtain a durable and comfortable backpack. In this month of training, the thing that Bolu hated the most was not Leah.
Instead of a stick, it was a thick hemp rope that was deeply inserted into the shoulder. There is no doubt that
Tying a bag with hemp rope is extremely primitive and unfriendly, as the bloodstains on Bolu's shoulders can prove. This is also the most common solution in the world. And cobblers who can make fine leather backpacks are not available in the fortress.
It exists. Fortunately, Poru is a man who has a solution.
"Let's start with the belt. Fortunately, I am free to use non-magical materials today. Me, Parma, and Leah, one each. The workload is not small, so we have to work hard." Bolu rummaged for materials in the warehouse of the fortress. Nylon
There must be no need to think about it. After rummaging for a long time, I only found one kind of textile: gunny bag. "Ah, it would be a bit desperate if there were only gunny bags." Bolu tugged at the gunny bag in his hand, and the fibers of the rough-woven sack suddenly appeared.
The huge gap between.
"The quality of this linen is a bit too rough. Or use leather, at least it won't leak so easily." Bolu took out a roll of leather from the warehouse, flattened the leather and placed it on the workbench with wooden support.
I nailed the four corners to the workbench. I thought about it in my mind.
Backpack Patterning. As a real gearer, Polu owned a full range of outdoor backpacks before crossing. From a 100-liter nylon camel bag to a 15-liter water bag, each one has been truly used, from structure to
The functions are very clear.
After thinking for a long time, Polu stretched out his fingers, mobilized his magic power, controlled the intensity, and began the first practice of the drawing technique he had already learned. The scorching rays moved along the design in his mind, and the focus of the rays drew from the leather.
Afterwards, along with the wisps of green smoke, scorched black marks were left on the complete leather. As the fingers moved, Polu moved over the entire piece of leather.
The layout of the backpack was drawn on the leather. The unfolded area of the backpack was actually quite large, so the layout of all parts was made on several pieces of leather. Polu raised his hand and wiped the sweat from his forehead.
The finely controlled ray consumes a lot of mental power. Boru had to use a mental injection to immediately enter the next step.
The cowhide that can be used to make things is thick and tough. It seems that conventional tool processing may not be able to make it in time. After all, it has to be enough for three people. Bolu thought about it and activated the simple processing spell. The principle of this spell is simple.
However, with the growth of strength, this spell can also perfectly process complex curved surfaces according to the controller's wishes. However, if it reaches this step, it will have to be called advanced shaping.
At this time, in Polu's hands, the simple processing is just an inch-long blue ray shot from the fingertip. It is just enough, and there is no need to control the ray deformation. It is like a cutting bald head on the finger, which is easier to use.
At one point, Polu cut along the traces of drawing, and with the smell of billowing smoke and burnt egg whites, it felt like laser cutting.
The blue rays were like thread cutting, leaving smooth cuts on the thick three-layer cowhide. As the leather peeled off piece by piece, Bolu began to assemble his backpack. When the last leather rope was fixed, Bolu
Lu nodded and installed the last few moving parts with copper wire. He looked at his work with satisfaction: "They will definitely like it!"
Due to the limitations of leather processing, the final product is a typical outer frame bag, which can be regarded as a compromise to the difficulty of tailoring. High-quality wood with fine texture is cut into wooden sticks, and they are stuck together with simple mortise and tenon joints to form a wooden frame.
The wooden frame supports the shape of the backpack, made of leather
The bag is buckled on the wooden frame with a leather ring. It is slightly higher than the shoulder when it is carried, and the lower edge is next to the hip. A hand-width belt is buckled and wrapped around the upper edge of the pelvis. The hard frame holds the weight on the shoulders and spine.
Directly transferred to the pelvis. It can greatly reduce the pain during trekking.
The three-finger-wide double-layered shoulder strap is divided into two sections. Polu left two flat holes on the upper half of the shoulder strap. The curved copper wire riveted to the lower half of the shoulder strap can pass through the flat holes. Then put
The woven leather rope is inserted into the copper wire frame from top to bottom, and the shoulder strap becomes one. When you need to quickly release the backpack, just
You need to pull a leather rope on the chest. After the fixing bolt comes out, gravity will naturally pull the back to fall backward. At this time, the upper shoulder strap is separated, and the shoulder strap will immediately be divided into two sections, and the waistband also has the same structure. Bag
The identity is divided into two layers, the largest section is a leather bag, and the bag is knotted and tightened with a drawstring.
The leather material was too heavy. In order to save weight, Polu had to abandon the idea of a top-top head bag. If it didn't work, he would just bring a shoulder bag. Everyone has one anyway. The bottom of the bag has a middle support extending from the frame. The bottom one
It was the bedding warehouse. Of course there were no sleeping bags in this era, but when setting off, it was enough to roll the sheepskin on the bed to a similar width and then tie it up.
In this way, if you encounter any emergency, you can quickly throw off the backpack to save your own life.
After making the backpack, Bolu Shang felt that he was still satisfied, so he made himself a pair of leather leggings and a hat.
