Chapter 19: Bran's Knife

This is the Northland, what do the Northlanders need most? fine swords and armor. But these are not just the appearance, each nail leaf, each iron ring, has other specific processes. Bran needs to learn these things deeply, he needs to perceive them with his ability, and then imitate them in essence, so that he can get a satisfactory result.

Materials can't be generated by magic in a vacuum, Bran's ability is to reshape and adjust materials, and the understanding of materials has become the focus of training, and the family's relatively large warehouse of used weapons in this regard provides Bran with good help. Dani stood at the door of the storeroom and looked at the child in front of her, and couldn't help but admire it a little. The child in front of him was so focused, one side was a broken sword, and on the other side was a one-handed knife that had just been formed, you could see a reflection of the blade, this light spread through the middle of the blade, and then slowly moved towards the tip of the blade, Dani knew that this was magic to change the material properties of the blade, watching the light slowly move to the tip of the blade, Dani and Bran let out a long sigh at the same time.

Bran, who wanted to open a little, began to calm down, no longer agitated, and now he knew that he had not only the black cat Flowey, but also his family, and Dani. He was never alone, he just ignored too much before. He only felt that he had fallen into this bizarre world, but he didn't think about his arrival, his behavior, and the trouble he brought to his current family. Dani was right, this is the Northland. So Bran spent most of the rest of this winter soaking in the warehouse, sensing the subtle parts of the sword armor with his magic and trying to imitate it.

"Dani help me try this knife. Brantai shouted.

Dani picked up the knife and walked out of the warehouse with Bran, slashed at the test stone outside the door, then put away the knife and looked at the knife edge and said to Bran, "Not bad!"

Bran laughed, "It's still far from it." ”

"It's really good. ”

"I've seen most of the weapons in the warehouse, like the broken two-handed sword, they are much better than the knife I made, even that weapon will break, I really can't think of what is good about this knife?"

"That's why you've been slow to turn that broken sword into a new weapon?"

"Yes, I understand a little bit as to why these used weapons are still stored in the storeroom. If you can't surpass it, then what kind of face is there to use these as materials?"

Bran walked to a wooden stake the thickness of an arm, took out the Yanling knife that was ordered for himself hanging from his waist, and swung it briskly without the slightest fireworks, but when the blade of the knife was about to touch the stake, the whole body suddenly unfolded, as if the whip body shook with the end of the whip, and the blade suddenly made a loud sound, and the stake broke in response. This made Dani beside her stunned, speechless for a while.

The Northlanders are tall and powerful, and their weapons are often on the heavy side, so when Bran's Yanling knife was made, it was jokingly called the embroidery needle. However, noticing that Bran was obviously thin compared to children of the same age in the Northland, people self-righteously understood Bran's choice.

Looking at Dani beside him, Bran said proudly, "Sometimes I'm not so useless. At least, not as useless as many people think. ”

"How did you do that?"

"As long as the knife is fast enough. Bran smirked.

......

"Dani, it's spring, take me out for a walk, hunting near the castle or something. ”

"Good. Dani agreed, then asked, "You're not going to build a castle?"

"There's no hurry. It will be able to be built soon. At the current rate, I will soon be able to make a first-class sword, and in exchange, many people will come to our aid. I need to practice the use of swords now, and take me to kill even two rabbits, which will help in the manufacture of swords. ”

......

Dani listened to Bran humming an inexplicable song, and only the words "Happy Birthday to you" came and went, but the tune that should have been happy was sung by Bran in a low and sad way, and even tears flashed in the corners of the little boy's eyes.

Bran hummed a song, but he didn't stop what he was doing, and the severed two-handed greatsword was finally dissolved by Bran today and transformed into a thick-backed gauntlet single sword. The whole blade is unpretentious, and the blade surface is a little dull instead of bright luster. Faced with the daily repetition of what seemed to outsiders to be the same, Dani was already a little aesthetically tired of Bran's sword-making process. Even Bran's insistence that it's inner qualities that matters doesn't get Dani to get any interest. So when Bran shouted that Dani had made it, Dani just lazily walked over and grabbed the knife and walked to the test stone outside the warehouse......

On an early summer evening, the idiot son of the Duke's family stood near the castle gate with a large wooden plank written on it, and his idiot black cat and idiot attendant stood next to it. If this were the case, most knights would only laugh and laugh, and who would compete with an idiot? Bran said that the winner would get the ornament. Dani was holding a single knife, which was a little unnatural, so she had an expression of not approaching anyone, and she didn't have the consciousness of being an idiot No. 3 at all.

The effects of the onlookers quickly spread throughout the castle, and even the duke and his wife stood on the balcony on the second floor to watch, feeling helpless about the four sons. However, what happened next is something that everyone will never forget......

At first, the third sister couldn't help but stand up for the flower ornament, and touched the single knife in Dani's hand, maybe Dani's confidence was not enough, and the shot was not decisive enough, and the result of the collision was that the third sister's short knife collapsed an inconspicuous fracture, which was not too much damage, and a little polishing was enough.

Then the third sister's attendant held the idea of finding the field, shook his arms and confronted Dani, perhaps because both sides were women, each had reservations, and it still ended with the other party's weapon breaking down.

Things gradually began to develop in an uncontrollable direction, and the knights, who were aroused to be competitive, stepped forward one by one. Dani began to give full play to the ability of the stupid eldest sister, one knife more realistic, one knife more confident, and at the same time, words such as dog-eyed and low-eyed and "you are idiots" kept coming out of her mouth, venting her resentment since becoming Bran's squire. Eventually, an annoyed knight collided with Dany, who was bursting with all his might, and the two-handed sword snapped, and the noise stopped abruptly as if his neck had been broken, only to hear Dany's shouting: "You are idiots! Your whole family is idiots!" ......

When things got to this, the duchess and duchess, who were standing on the second floor, couldn't help but shake their heads.

The single knife in Dani's hand attracted the attention of everyone present, and at that moment, in the last rays of the sunset, a trace of greed was reflected in the eyes of all the knights. Then, as if hallucinating, Bran's voice was heard, "It's yours, Dani, this knife is called Birthday." ”
