'Til Kingdom Comes - The Banished Prince Vol 4: The System

Rare Class Cloth Armour Tunic/Pants With Attributes

“Oh, don’t you worry a thing right there and then, is that right, JR? It is something that I just remembered when you shoved that piece of a chip into my mouth. Besides, it had been quite some time since I had not been snacking since I am too busy with the affairs of the town.”

I explained it to HRH JR since he eyed me with suspicions as he thought the one in front of him was not his Daddy, but someone else that looked like his Daddy. Then, the question pops out again, “WHO IS SLEEPING WITH HIS MUMMY…?!?!?”

He was rather wide-eyed when he thinks of those thoughts aloud in his head as JR just ran off, leaving me there in the living room, staring at his afterimages as he went to find his mummy. Hahaha…!!!

HRH Amy was there in the living room and had witnessed the weird behaviour that his brother had showcased, so she ambled back to the back of the house. I laughed aloud at their antics as I wondered what had transpired inside HRH JR’s head. A few moments later, the mother and both children reappeared to the living room.

“Come on now, let’s all assume the position as we meditate off and enter the realm.” I voiced out to them as they slowly sat down cross-legged and formed a circle on the floor.

=*=

"Daddy, Daddy, Daddy...!!! Can we go and read up the books again while you go and do your thing?" HRH JR and Amy were jumping about once they opened up their eyes and discovered that they had already arrived at the realm. They were anticipating to enter the palatinate since they could gain knowledge just from the encyclopedia that was shelved neatly in the White Room.

"It's alright children, go right ahead. I would proceed to the Fusion Chamber right away." I let Heather takes care of the children as I take a few steps back. I looked up the information system panel and swiped the present room to the Fusion Chamber that was next to it.

"Welcome back, Audemars. It had been some time since you had come over to this place and do your thang. Hahaha...!" Ceres voice boomed across the realm as everyone could her distinctively.

"Yeah, it had been some time too, Ceres. Here, I got a pair of cloth armour. You told me that Robyn Hode had used several pieces of Steel to enhanced this plain-looking cloth armour, am I right?" I inquired since Robyn Hode, had been mentioned in this series and I was wondering what kind of marvellous items that Robyn Hode had made in the past.

"Oh...Do you remember the cloth armour that you had made for the soldiers before? You had used a single piece of steel plate that weighed about 2 pounds."

"For it to be more effective, proceed to duplicate the cloth armour first. Once you have completed the fusion, you can go and fuse three plates of Steel into each piece of armour. That would give an additional 6 pounds of steel-meshed armour within the cloth armour."

"It may not be able to withstand the volcano-like spit from the hellhounds, but it would be able to withstand the splashes from them indirectly. I am sure the wood elves adventurers would not mind the extra weight for their flimsy pieces of armour. They would be reluctant at first, but once you demonstrate the effectiveness, I am sure they would want to have one each."

I nodded, acknowledging the suggestions that had been made by Ceres as it was what I would be doing at the Fusion Chamber. I placed a single piece of armour into one of the chambers and followed up with the next.

Then I turned the dials and chose Duplicate>Armour>Multiple and then I turned the counter to 50 and pulled the crank once I shut the sliding doors of the chambers.

The revolving lights were dizzying and turning anti-clockwise as usual as the chambers worked its magic. I went over to the corner of the fusion chamber and chose six pieces of steel plates and brought them to the next two Chambers that were not in use. I placed three steel plates inside the Chamber and did the same to the next one as well.

*DING* Duplication complete. Basic Cloth Armour Class.

The system announced the completion of the duplication throughout the palatinate as I am sure the kids and Heather would be able to hear them as well.

I sauntered over to the first two chambers that had been duplicating the pieces of cloth armour belonging to the wood elves adventurers. Once I had collected all fifty pieces of the top and bottom wear of the cloth armours and placed them on a ready table, I brought with me a pair each and deposited it into the ones that I had placed six of the steel plates.

I checked the dials as I chose Fuse>Armour and then I closed the sliding door. I said a little prayer as I pulled the lever that started the whole new process of fusing the steel plates into those cloth armours.

I walked about the fusion chamber and discovered that I still have numerous pieces of Steel and Iron plates and I was wondering if I would be able to smelt those Iron plates to make Steel ones instead.

It would be a waste if I leave them around since the carbon content of those Iron plates would be higher as rust might occur if left unattended for long.

"Heh, Audemars. Did you forget that this place is already more than three hundred years old since the last leap? Robyn Hode had been around since the 12th century and three hundred or so years had passed as these iron plates looked rather mint to me. If you want, you can smelt them and remove the slag further to turn them into Steel ones. What say you, Audemars?"

"Sounds like a good idea, Ceres. But not today since I would be here just to see how many layers of mesh steel would three steel plates be able to cover the top and bottom cloth armours." I reminded Ceres as I would not be spending more time inside the realm as I would take things slowly once in a while.

"Do you want to know more about the classes that were not mentioned by Amadeus? I informed you about his Fighter-Class as there would be Ranger-Class as well as Rogue-Class? These wood elves adventurers are proud of their longbows and arrows as I do not think they would be allowing you to tinker with those weapons any sooner."

"How is that so, Ceres? What about their longbows and arrows? Amadeus mentioned that he would be getting some of our concussive explosive and armour-piercing arrows, even though they would not be able to draw the strings fully."

"These wood elves adventurers make the finest carpenters and stoneworkers and are masters of crafting the bows and arrows. Wood elves adventurers even developed several specialized arrows, including those that flew further than usual as well as some that used as signal devices. So carefully guarded were these Wood Elven adventurers crafting secrets that even experienced fletchers from other races had difficulty emulating wood elven designs."

"That was quite a mouthful there, Ceres. Well, it seems that no wood elves adventurers would share their longbow with us then, how much more would they even let us go near and touch them." I replied to her and concluded that what we can offer to those newly inducted Fighters, Rouges and Rangers would be these cloth armours that fused with six pounds of mesh steel...! Since these wood elves adventurers do not swing from tree to tree like a chimpanzee, they would be running around on the ground like a gazelle, I reckon.

*DING* Fusion Success. Nine Layered Steel Mesh Cloth Armour Tunic Fused. Armour Class Rare. Durability 16/16. Armour Rating +16. Three Sockets Free

*DING* Fusion Success. Nine Layered Steel Mesh Cloth Armour Pants Fused. Armour Class Rare. Durability 14/14. Armour Rating +12. Two Sockets Free.

The moment I heard the system announced the completion throughout the Realm and I understand that the weight added was not mentioned as it would be understandable that additional six pounds of Steel had already been meshed and fused within the material of the Cloth Armour.

I went over to the last two fusion chambers and removed the two pieces of newly fused armour and no doubt I could feel the weight of those meshed Steel within the Cloth Armour itself.

"Do you want to name the newly fused Cloth Armour or just use the term Rare Class Nine Layered Steel Mesh Cloth Armour Tunic and Pants"? Ceres highlighted to me as I find it very intriguing as it was to be a new piece of armour for the wood elves adventurers.

"You were mentioning about the other Classes of the Wood Elven adventurers earlier. What about them?" I asked as I folded the newly fused Cloth Armour Tunic and Pants for the Wood Elven adventurers and I wondered how heavy it would be if I made the other 49 batches?

This single set would be a trial for Amadeus as if he liked the pieces of armour that I would be presenting to him, I would be entering the Realm to fuse the remaining ones.

When I appeared back at the White Room, the children came up to me and inspected the newly fused armour. When HRH JR held the Cloth Armour Tunic in his hands, he stumbled back due to its weight.

"Daddy...!!! Are you going to make Amadeus crawl on the forest ground after wearing this? It feels so H-E-A-V-Y...!!! Help me, Amy... Get this thing off of me right now...!!!"

I laughed out loud as HRH Amy was unable to move the Cloth Armour off HRH JR's tiny body and he looked like a Gokiburi that had been turned on its back. (Gokiburi is a cockroach. I can't be calling my son as a cockroach right? Using a different language soften critics. Hahaha...!)

"Well, my dear children... Amadeus' last name is TurtleDove, remember? If he can't be flying from tree to tree like a Dove, then he should be crawling like a Turtle...!!! Hahaha...!!!"

Everyone spilt their stomachs as they broke up in stitches and have to call the paramedics to attend to us. Wuwuwu...Hahaha...!!!
