147: Chapter 147: The Dazzling Blue and White Porcelain 147: Chapter 147: The Dazzling Blue and White Porcelain “A thousand of them, all right, no problem.”
Yars and Yalugo exchanged surprised glances, not expecting Zhao Guang to agree so readily.
It seemed that the power behind Zhao Guang was truly formidable.
They had deliberately set a high demand, thinking Zhao Guang would haggle, but to their astonishment, he had accepted even such a steep demand.
Because of this, they both felt somewhat embarrassed.
“If there’s any difficulty, feel free to mention it.”
Zhao Guang quickly waved his hands, “No difficulties at all, not one bit.”
Now the two of them were somewhat at a loss for words, “Alright then, we’ll prepare the payment for you later.
Take it with you when you go back.
Oh, and about the banquet later, it’s best if you make an appearance, even if you don’t eat anything.”
Zhao Guang nodded, but now Yalugo furrowed his brows.
“There’s no need for that, attending such a banquet is utterly unnecessary.
As a noble, how can you mingle with those peasants?
Remember, you’re a noble; you must maintain a noble’s reserve and dignity.”
“Don’t listen to that guy, someone who hasn’t been on the battlefield can’t grasp the atmosphere of battle.”
Both were dissatisfied with the other’s attitude, but they soon went about their own business.
Zhao Guang also hurriedly took his leave, not wanting to unwittingly get involved in any strange chaos.
Not long after he left, Zhao Guang saw a huge piece of blue and white porcelain rushing toward him.
Indeed, it was Ocoro; this fellow was very well-informed within the military camp.
“Ocoro, you changed the pattern this time?” Zhao Guang noticed that the pattern on Ocoro had changed.
“That’s right, I did.
I’ve studied the blue and white porcelain you gave me, and it’s truly full of artistic flair.
It’s not just for use on pots, but can also be applied elsewhere, a single hue, but with endless variations.”
I do agree with what you’re saying, but it feels strange when painted on the body.
Luckily, Zhao Guang had gotten used to this style, so it didn’t feel too awkward for him.
“You’ve come at just the right time; I’m different from before now.” While saying this, Ocoro struck a strange pose, causing Zhao Guang to squint his eyes, it was just too glaring.
Right, glaring, quite literally, because Ocoro was glowing, shining brightly.
His entire body burst out with a bright light that highlighted the blue and white porcelain patterns on his body, leaving one taken aback.
“Is this, Combat Energy?” Zhao Guang suddenly felt that familiar vibration.
“That’s right, it’s Combat Energy; I’ve now cultivated my own Combat Energy.
It was thanks to your painkiller that I could cultivate this special Lifebound Battle Skill.”
This fellow is also afraid of pain, but what about this Lifebound Battle Skill?
“This, what effect does it have?” Zhao Guang asked, somewhat baffled.
“Of course it has an effect, it’s glowing.
As long as my strength increases, I’ll be able to freely control the brightness and shade of this light in the future.
Combined with my designed pattern, it will surely be the perfect artistic style.”
So, it’s all about the art, almost gave me a scare.
Seeing such intense light, far surpassing his own radiance during cultivation, Zhao Guang almost thought his Combat Energy was counterfeit Holy Dragon Fighting Energy, and this one here was of a higher level.
Now he knew it was the light attribute Battle Skill that Ocoro found from somewhere.
Also, that made sense.
After all, Ocoro never planned to go to battlefields; why would he need combat-type battle skills?
What suits oneself is the best.
Just like his own, purely for defense and protection.
“So, does it have any other effects?” Zhao Guang inquired further.
No, isn’t this effect strong enough?”
“No, it’s very strong, I just thought there might be other effects.”
Zhao Guang mused to himself, Ocoro’s resources were indeed not simple.
Although he hadn’t been cultivating Combat Energy Secret Techniques, during this period, it seemed his Combat Energy was even more abundant than Zhao Guang’s own.
To think that, even with his considerable resources, which were already beyond comparison for most people, this was even more exaggerated.
I knew it, only this kind of Battle Skill is most suited for art.
Hmph, those people said this Battle Skill was useless, just for adapting to the Light Attribute Battle Skills, a bunch of short-sighted folks.”
Zhao Guang nodded vigorously, “You’re absolutely right, congratulations on finding such a suitable Battle Skill for yourself.”
All of a sudden, Ocoro became animated, “That’s it, I need you to prepare a batch of Battle Armor for me.
I’ve drawn up the blueprints; take a look at this.” Ocoro took out a stack of blueprints, each from different angles.
Overall, it was a set of plate armor, but the leg sections appeared to be quite flexible, seemingly not knight armor.
At least, wearing this armor wouldn’t be a hindrance to land combat.
Why Zhao Guang could tell was because he had been involved in armor-making before.
So he was quite familiar with the structural aspects and could easily discern this at a glance.
There were also some simple patterns on it, which seemed quite demanding, giving off a lavish feel.
“Is this the armor you want?
Speaking of which, with your build, I fear you won’t fit into it.”
Zhao Guang looked disdainfully at Ocoro; there was no way such a portly figure could fit into this kind of armor.
“It’s not for me to wear; I’m forming a squad, and it’s for them.
Five hundred people.”
If it were in this world, forging them might be troublesome, but with Earth’s manufacturing level, it wouldn’t be much of an issue, just a matter of using more metal.
“All right then, five hundred, no problem, I’ll prepare it once I get back.
We’ll need to talk about the sizes more precisely.”
After all, these were standard-issue armors, not tailored to individual measurements, so certain designs had to be carefully considered.
At the very least, there needed to be some adjustable elements; otherwise, some might not fit into them.
“Aren’t the sizes all written on the side?
I’ll explain them to you.” Perhaps because Zhao Guang was not familiar with some of the writing conventions of this world, he felt a bit lost.
However, as Ocoro explained, Zhao Guang gradually came to understand.
Though it wasn’t very standardized, it did indicate the productivity of this world; these dimensions were probably intended for blacksmiths.
“Alright, I understand the specifics now, but what are these holes for on the blueprints?
Are they really necessary?”
“If you can forge it, please do so; that’s the essence of this set of armor.”
