Chapter 1114 Iron Maiden (Ⅲ)

The upper limit of 4,000 pounds of load has greatly exceeded Joan's design requirements. Not only can it carry the 2,000-pound "Iron Maiden", but Joan's own weight of 100 pounds is also stress-free.

Yes, when necessary, Joan can stand inside the shield tower, step on the bottom, and stand in the air!

There is still a lot of magic power left, and Joan will use most of it to add "advanced spell delay", increasing the duration of the "dancing sky shield" from the original 8 minutes to 80 minutes.

Qiao An has four 3rd-level spell slots available every day. According to the enchanting rules, the "Iron Maiden" enchanted with the 3rd-level upgraded version of "Dancing Sky Shield" can activate the "Dancing Sky" function up to 4 times a day, and the accumulated floating time exceeds Five hours is enough.

After realizing the two functions of increasing the load and extending the time limit, Qiao An found that there was still a small amount of magic power left in the third-level "Upgraded Dance Shield", which was not fully utilized.

In terms of enchanting craft, Joan's "obsessive-compulsive disorder" tendencies make him a "stingy ghost" who cares about pennies and pennies, and there is no room for waste in his eyes!

After some thinking, Joan made full use of the remaining magic power to extend the remote control distance of the "Dancing Sky Shield".

Under normal circumstances, the straight-line distance between the "Dancing Sky Shield" and its owner should not exceed 5 feet, otherwise it will lose control.

After Qiao An's optimization, the remote control distance has been increased to 10 feet, which is actually equivalent to expanding the defense space.

The last key link in the enchanting process is to match the above three spells with a rune as the enchanting carrier.

Joan checked the list of runes, and quickly picked out the third rune, Thorn.

The meaning of the Thorn rune is "protection and control", and it is a perfect fit when used with the Wukong shield!

The design ideas have been sorted out clearly, and there is no difficulty in the next hands-on operation.

Joan worked hard for half an hour and successfully completed the enchanting project. Not counting the cost of the crystal steel, an additional 7 ounces of magic crystals were consumed as an enchanting stabilizer.

After spending so much manpower, material and financial resources, what is the quality of the final product?

Joan still needs to conduct some tests.

He first drew the No. 4 rune Ansuz on the fully unfolded "Iron Maiden" for identification.

The appraisal results showed that the large piece of crystal steel enchanting device spread out on the floor was a "+2 folding Wukong armor".

The reason why the exact armor type of the "shield" was not identified was because this thing looked so weird that it didn't look like a shield from a horizontal or vertical perspective, and the runes didn't dare to make a statement.

The results of the appraisal showed that Joan's enchanting operation was basically in line with expectations, but the three operation modes of "Iron Maiden" cannot be identified by appraisal alone, and you still have to test it yourself.

"Eala!"

Joan chanted the activation spell of "Iron Maiden", and the crystal steel triangular plate laid on the floor burst into golden light, as if being injected with vitality, it suddenly floated into the air and circled Joan clockwise.

Joan pulled off the tape measure, measured the "Iron Maiden" up and down, then switched to three different defense modes, took the measurement again, and then recorded the measurement data in the notebook.

"Tower Shield Mode", with a surface area of ​​40 square feet, a thickness of 4 inches, a side length of 9.6 feet, and a height of about 8.3 feet.

In the "shield wall mode", the central inverted triangle area is 40 square feet and 2 inches thick. The area of ​​the two wing triangles is equal to the central area, but the thickness is only 1 inch.

There is also a variant of the "shield wall mode", which makes the long side of the trapezoid face up and the short side down, and the two winged triangles are folded inward, which can block attacks from the left and right sides-in fact, the thickness of the front is doubled, and at the same time it lacks "Shield Tower Mode" on the underside.

In the ground combat environment, this "half-shield tower mode" is more practical, because few enemies have the ability to burrow and sneak. Under normal circumstances, there is no need to worry about people suddenly drilling out of the ground under their feet.

If the enemy is really good at burrowing, such as "burrowers", or needs to fly in the air, then the full "shield tower mode" will come in handy.

Compared with the "half-shield tower mode", this mode also closes the "empty window" under the feet, so there is no need to worry about attacks from below.

The "shield tower" constructed by four triangular crystal steel plates is a crystal clear hollow regular tetrahedron. The four planes are all 40 square feet x 1 inch, with a side length of 9.6 feet and a height of 7.8 feet.

After recording the size data of "Iron Maiden", Joan then tested the floating function.

He was pacing back and forth in the room, and the "Iron Maiden" followed him closely while moving in a circle around him, like a planet "revolving" around the sun.

Joan noticed that the "Iron Maiden" can only fly passively with its owner, and it will follow wherever the owner goes, but it does not have the ability to fly actively.

Qiao An switched the "Iron Maiden" to the "Shield Tower" mode, opened the triangle facing him, jumped in, stood in the center of the bottom of the shield tower, and observed quietly.

At the same time, the "Iron Maiden" also hovered in mid-air, remaining still.

Can the shield carry the owner and fly freely according to the owner's will, acting as a means of air transportation?

Don't think about such a beautiful thing as soon as possible, the answer is that it can't be done!

The magic configuration of "Dancing Sky Shield" does not support the active flight function, and it cannot carry the owner to fly freely like the "Magic Carpet" or the broom of witches.

What if there is a birdman like a "product manager" who requires that this function be realized?

That's not impossible, but to provide a large amount of extra magic power for this, at least a third-level spell slot must be arranged. A simple calculation shows that it is not cost-effective. It is better to use a "flying spell" to fly by yourself!

This restriction prevents the "Iron Maiden" from playing the role of an air vehicle.

However, Joan doesn't lack the ability to fly. Anyway, he doesn't need to ride the "Iron Maiden" to play the role of "Flying Witch", so this is not a defect.

Qiao An thought about it, and the open triangular plate on the opposite side closed up by itself, clicked into the card slot, and turned into a small airtight "floating tower".

Through the gap between the hinges, the inside and outside of the shield tower can exchange air normally, so as not to suffocate Joan in the tower.

If necessary, Joan can remotely tighten the hinge to close the gap in the shield tower and completely isolate it from the outside world.

In this absolutely closed mode, the inside and outside of the shield tower cannot be ventilated, and the water is impermeable. The advantage is that it can isolate the toxic gas from the outside or prevent moisture from penetrating in. The disadvantage is that the air in the tower is limited and cannot supply Joan for a long time to breathe.

Fortunately, this is not difficult to solve. As long as he blesses himself with the third-level spell "Water Breathing", Joan can maintain normal breathing without consuming the air in the tower.
