Chapter 305 – 177: Unbearable Tolerance (Combined into One Large Chapter)_4

However, when Rein carefully reviewed the prerequisite conditions, he found he had already met the second, third, and fourth items. The only one he had not fulfilled was the first condition.

Rein flipped the system panel to the front page—the Attributes column.

Name: Rein Carlan

Profession: Wizard Apprentice (Transcendent) lv4 (345/1000) / Knight (Transcendent) lv4 (277/1000) / Beast Tamer (Transcendent) lv5 (64/2000) / Blacksmith lv4 (329/1000)

Constitution: 19

Strength: 17

Agility: 17

Spirit: 25

Remaining attribute points: 1

Remaining Skill Points: 5

As he had not practiced forging recently, Rein found his Blacksmith profession level had stagnated at lv4 (329/1000), a considerable distance from the lv5 required for a job change.

But then, Rein suddenly thought of another issue.

That is, if there are Armor Casters, there should naturally be related subsequent professions involved in weapon crafting such as ’Swordsmiths’, ’Hammer Smiths’, etc., though the names might not be exact.

So the question arises,

After raising the Blacksmith level to lv5, should he opt to change his profession to Armor Caster immediately? Or should he hold off, try to find knowledge about other professions such as Swordsmith or Hammer Smith, and aim to transition into a weapon forging profession like those?

Soon, Rein figured out exactly what he needed.

He often engages in intense battles, and damage to his armor is a common occurrence.

Just in the previous month, Rein had already damaged two sets of chrome steel armor.

That means if he were an Armor Caster, he could manage some of the complex repair work himself.

Secondly, once he changes his profession to Armor Caster, perhaps he could craft several sets of plate armor suited for different combat scenarios.

The layered armor approach, that is a style in itself!

Finally, based on previous job change experiences, a profession change generally brings an increase in attribute points and triggers certain core skills, significantly enhancing his combat capabilities.

Therefore, changing his profession to Armor Caster fits him better than switching to a weapon forging related profession!

Having realized this, Rein opened the second scroll.

The first thing that caught Rein’s eye was the title “Crowley’s Compendium of Armor Casting Technique, Volume Two”.

Then, Rein noticed that the second volume also contained two sets of Knight plate armor details and patterns with different levels of difficulty.

The first set is called the Ice Iron Suit, emanating a light blue metallic sheen throughout, with the same eight pieces as the Cavalry Suit.

The crafting material is a rare type of Ice Iron Ingot, a special ore he had only heard of, which apparently offers special defensive power against flames.

Sure enough, a note on the side stated that the Ice Iron Suit could slightly reduce the damage the wearer receives from flames.

This reminded Rein of the higher tier Knight Plate Armor set—he had reserved at the County Town’s military supply depot—the Water-Film Steel Suit.

The two seemed quite similar; the Ice Iron Suit probably belonged to the same high-grade tier as the Water-Film Steel Suit.

What? This first set is already advanced Knight armor?

Rein quickly set his focus on the second armor set—the Secret Silver Engraved Plate Armor, which was dark silver in appearance. Moreover, the surface was carved with intricate lines and symbols, giving it a mysterious look.

Such a design did not seem to be the result of mere hammering or forging; instead, it appeared to involve some form of witchcraft.

However… what Rein was more curious about at this moment was the function of the Secret Silver Engraved Plate Armor.
