Act XXIV
Elves are naturally handsome, and even if the elven woman in front of her is doing such rough work as striking iron, it does not affect her appearance in the slightest.
It's just that compared to the gentle elf woman that Lawson saw in the past two days, she is more youthful and energetic, the leather clothes fit the curves of the body, revealing a flat lower abdomen and slender thighs, and the whole person is like a vigorous cheetah, exuding wild beauty.
Her short flaxen hair was a little messy, and her dark brown eyes were bright, and she didn't react when she saw Nolia, but when she saw Tia and Rosen, the beauty frowned slightly.
"Lord Rinotas, this is Lord Violet's honored guest, and Lord Violet has commanded that they should be treated with the highest courtesy. ”
Nolia saluted the Rinotas.
"But there has to be a visitor who hasn't been here for decades. ”
Rinotas said, her voice also very hearty, not as soft and gentle as that of ordinary elves.
"You want Mithril's weapon?"
Of course, she is also very direct.
"I'd like to learn more about Mithril, and I've heard that this metal is currently only produced in the Elven Court. ”
Seeing that the other party was so unpretentious, Lawson went straight to the point.
"Well, that's right, since the Holy War, there are very few Mithril veins left on the earth, and only the Elven Court should have this kind of resource at present. ”
Rinotas didn't ask much about the identities of the two, not knowing whether she already knew or didn't care at all, she took two steps and took out a metal rod from the box next to her, which had not yet been forged.
"It's the original Mithril, it's only been recast, you can take a look. ”
She didn't hide it at all, and threw the metal rod in her hand to Lawson.
Lawson took the metal rod and could feel that it was far lighter than it looked, and although the surface was not polished, it did not look rough, and at first glance it was just a good quality iron rod.
But when Lawson gently injected some magic, the difference in this metal rod gradually became apparent.
If it is an ordinary metal, then the magic will usually adhere to the metal surface, forming a dense film, all the elemental changes will be carried out on this layer, for the performance of the metal itself, there will hardly be much change, and the so-called solidification enchantment, is just to fix the magic on the outer layer of the weapon.
But when the magic flowed through the metal rod in Lawson's hand, it was like flowing water seeping into the sand, completely immersed in the metal rod.
He changed the nature of his magic slightly, and the entire metal rod burned with pale blue flames, the heat distorting the air, but the iron rod was as cold as ever, completely unaffected by the flames.
"Can you completely channel magic without being affected by it......
Rosen twisted the metal rod a little harder, only to find that it was only slightly bent.
"It's very tough and it's amazingly hard, and that's just the blank that hasn't been forged yet. ”
If such a metal is made into armor, then it can resist magic attacks, physical blows, and at the same time can be blessed with magic gains several times that of ordinary armor, and it is very light, as a symbol of the strong in ancient times, it is also reasonable.
It's a pity that there are not many Mithril veins left, and it is difficult to reproduce, otherwise arming an army with this metal will definitely double the combat effectiveness.
"Mithril lives up to its name. ”
Lawson returned the rod and looked at the cooled Mythril in the forge.
"Is this kind of Mithril really only an elf can handle?"
Unfamiliar with the forging process, Rosen couldn't imagine how Mithril, with its many powerful properties, would have to be forged in order to be able to cast it while perfectly retaining its properties.
It's not a secret, but to be honest, it doesn't make sense for people of other races to know about it. ”
Rinotas smiled, as if she had answered the question a thousand times.
"Why?"
Tia asked, though she knew some of the secrets, but she really hadn't learned much about how the elves really forged Mithril weapons.
There are thousands of ways to forge weapons in this world, ranging from the normal forging of power to change the structure of steel, to the magic forging of materials directly using magic, but when asked what to do with Mithril, few people can tell why.
"If Mithril is forged physically, it loses its special properties for magic, and if it is changed by magic, it will reduce the strength of Mithril, and we need to use a special material when dealing with Mithril. ”
Rinotas said, taking out a small test tube from the small bag on the table beside him.
In that tube, there was a silvery liquid.
The liquid was clear and glowing, revealing an indescribable power.
"It's ......"
Lawson had never seen anything like this, and subconsciously wanted to extend the perceptual scan, but soon remembered that this was the Elven Royal Court, so he could only ask out loud.
"It's blood, my blood, to be exact. ”
Rinotas replied lightly.
Elven blood.
Tia's eyes widened slightly.
Just like dragon blood is to dragons, elven blood is also an extremely precious spell material, legend has it that drinking elven blood can break diseases and prolong life, and among various alchemical potions, elven blood is also a universal neutralizer, enough to improve the quality of the potion by more than four levels.
But even so, Tia couldn't figure out why Rinotas said that only elves could use the blood of elves to process Mithril.
"Among other items, the blood of the elves should be just a simple precious material, but in the process of Mithril, the blacksmith will add his own blood, which is in tune with Mithril to some extent, only in this way, can all the characteristics of Mithril be perfectly preserved, and the equipment of the highest quality can be forged. ”
Rinotas explained, then put away the vial of blood.
"This is the blood forging method within the elves, not only Mithril, but even other precious metals can be forged using this method, but other races, even dragons, cannot be imitated. ”
At the same time, she went on to explain that the weapons and armor made using the Blood Forging Method, in addition to the nature of Mithril itself, directly increased its resistance to damaging magic by at least two orders, and also possessed the power to stabilize the spirit and resist spiritual attacks.
This equipment cannot be forged, and any craftsman can tell at a glance whether it is a real Mithril weapon.
"So, in the Divine Dynasty, in addition to being gardeners to open up the wilderness and maintain order, the elves were the most ingenious craftsmen on the continent. ”
Rinotas smiled, then looked at Lawson.
"You seem to be carrying a special weapon, I wonder if you can let me take a look?"
