The two were obviously singing red and white, and all the brains present wisely chose to be silent.

Seeing that no one agreed, the nobles of the Rowling Kingdom had to continue to cooperate: "Then please prove it to us, if you can't prove it, you must apologize to the Marquis of Renard!"

He deliberately raised his voice in order to attract more people to come and see the excitement.

There is no doubt that he succeeded.

A well-dressed nobleman walked into the crowd, and when he heard what was going on, he came curiously to take a look.

When he saw the eight-sided Han sword in the hand of the Marquis Quentin, the nobleman's eyes shone brightly.

Hearing the slander of this sword by the nobles of the Rowling Kingdom, he couldn't help but be annoyed, and his trimmed beard was slightly cocked, revealing an unusually angry look: "This is definitely a famous sword, I dare to vouch for it with personality." ”

The appearance of this nobleman made the discussion in the crowd three points louder again: "It's actually Earl Coverdale, since he said that this sword is a famous sword, it must be right, I think the people of the Rowling Kingdom just want to stir up trouble." ”

Renard looked curious, not knowing who this righteous nobleman was.

Seeing this, Earl Mackinto whispered: "This is Earl Coverdale, his family has been in charge of the Weapons Manufacturing Bureau for generations, and he has a lot of research on weapons and equipment. ”

Seeing that someone had finally taken advantage of him, the smile on Earl Heslett's face became even stronger, he looked at the person who questioned him, and asked, "Are you so sure?"

Earl Coverdale nodded, and said in an unquestioning tone: "Judging from my more than forty years of discernment and astonishment, this weapon is definitely a divine weapon. ”

Count Heslett tilted his head, and his expression became a little playful: "Your Excellency, I'm afraid you are also deceived by the appearance of this sword, in fact, it is not as good as it seems. ”

The Earl of Coverdale was confident in his vision: "You want to blind my eyes, are you laughing?"

He slowly walked up to the Marquis Quentin, looked at the eight-sided Han sword in front of him with some rudeness, and praised it: "The perfect forging process, the perfect proportional structure, and the perfect production materials are extremely perfect in every way. ”

If it's not this one

The sword was in the hands of the Marquis Quentin, and he even wanted to play with it at close range: "Even in the Eastern Continent, there are very few craftsmen with this level of forging. ”

Count Heslett had an undeniable expression: "I don't deny this, what I want to say is that the main problem with this weapon is not in the forging process. ”

He pointed to the blade of the sword and asked, "Have you paid attention to the material used to make this sword?"

Everyone looked at each other when they heard this, and many of them had nothing to do with it, so naturally they didn't know very well.

Count Heslett didn't talk nonsense, and explained directly: "The material used to forge this sword is actually ordinary steel, which is the most commonly used material for making weapons and equipment, with high strength, good toughness, and strong plasticity......"

He listed the benefits of steel, and then the words changed abruptly: "However, there is an old saying in the East, which is called steel is easy to break, and everyone should know it." ”

He pointed to the eight-sided Han sword in the hand of the Marquis Quentin: "Everyone, please see, the pattern on this sword is naturally formed, and the main reason for the formation of this pattern is folding and forging. ”

However, anyone who has been exposed to smelting knowledge should know that although steel can improve its hardness and toughness after hundreds of forgings, if it is forged too much, it will also greatly reduce the strength and toughness of steel. ”

"To put it in more detail, steel is actually iron, but pig iron, steel, and wrought iron are distinguished by the amount of carbon in it. ”

"The carbon content is less than 0.2 percent is called wrought iron, the carbon content is between 0.2 percent and 1.7 percent is called steel, and the carbon content is more than 1.7 percent is called pig iron. ”

"Wrought iron is soft and plastic, but it is easy to deform, its strength and hardness are low, steel is very hard, it is not easy to deform, its strength is very high, it is the most widely used material for making weapons and equipment, pig iron contains more carbon, it is hard and brittle, and there is almost no plasticity. ”

"Steel that has been forged hundreds of times, with an internal carbon content close to zero, has actually become wrought iron, which looks the surface, but is actually very soft, and has no utility except for its beautiful appearance. ”

Earl Coverdale snorted disdainfully when he heard this, and was quite dissatisfied with the tone of Earl Heslett's teaching: "Do you think I don't know the most basic knowledge?"

Count Heslett sighed slightly, revealing a relaxed appearance: "Then please take a closer look, how many times has this sword been forged?"

A true master of weapons could easily see the forging process of the weapon from the pattern of the sword, and the Earl of Coverdale looked at it carefully for a long time, and said with some strange feelings: "Judging from this dense pattern, it has been folded and forged at least a thousand times. ”

The surrounding nobles all gasped when they heard the rumors, and they just watched the excitement, only knowing that forging thousands of times was a lot of work.

However, insiders know that such a number of forging times is already excessive.

Iron is already considered steel if it is forged dozens of times, and it is close to the purest steel that is forged a hundred times, and it is forged a thousand times...... Then it can only be scrap.

Because the carbon content in steel has decreased dramatically, it has long been converted into wrought iron.

As Count Heslet said, wrought iron was soft, easily deformed, and had low strength and hardness, and could not be used to make weapons and armor at all.

The Earl of Coverdale straightened up, his expression a little dazed, this sword seemed to be fine, but there were many problems in the forging technique.

Is it really as the other party said, this is a worthless look?

Seeing that everyone around him had such suspicions, Count Heslet couldn't help but look at Renard proudly, hoping to see the bewildered expression on his face.

However, he was destined to be disappointed, Lei Ye's expression was very calm, and the corners of his mouth even had a playful smile.

Seeing this, Count Heslet frowned slightly, and secretly said that Lei Ye's heart was high enough, and he was so calm that he had broken the deception.

In order to see the scene he expected of the other party to be ashamed of himself, he turned his gaze to Marquis Quentin and said in a serious tone: "Marquis Quentin, if you don't believe it, I am willing to prove it with facts." ”

Marquis Quentin frowned slightly when he heard this, and he was quite dissatisfied with his attitude of getting to the bottom of it, but with so many people watching, he couldn't blatantly relieve Lei Ye.

He thought for a moment, glanced at Earl Coverdale casually, and asked, "Your Excellency, you are in charge of the Weapons Manufacturing Bureau and know the manufacturing technology well, do you have any different opinions or opinions on Earl Heslet's statement?"
