Chapter 21 Valyrian Steel
Yes, it was a Valyrian steel longsword, Jon swore he would never be mistaken, and the unique forging pattern on the sword was exactly the same as that of his father, Ned Stark's greatsword.
"This ...... It's too precious, Bran, where did you get it, did you do anything bad? Jon waved his hand at first and refused, and when he was halfway through, as if he had misunderstood something, his tone became stern, and he looked at Bran as if he were looking at a brother who had made a mistake.
"Yes, Bran, you must not do anything bad." Arya also tugged at Bran's sleeve and whispered. The Starks were taught strictly, and stealing was never tolerated.
Bran looked at these two brothers and sisters funny, doing bad things? I've been deceived recently, isn't it, is it a dragon egg? He is such a smart person, and he really won't do anything bad to endanger himself.
"Did you misunderstand something?" Bran stretched out his hands and pressed down, motioning for the two brothers and sisters to calm down. "The Valyrian steel longsword is rare, but it's not impossible, can I steal it?" Bran patiently explained.
"Do you know the origin of Valyrian steel?" Bran asked, and Jon nodded, and Arya shook her head quickly. Seeing this, Bran continued, "The Valyrian Steel Longsword is a tough magical weapon forged by the blacksmiths of the Valyrian city-state. Lightweight and sharp, and rust-resistant, it was a coveted weapon for every knight, and the destruction of the city-state of Valyria in the apocalypse caused the loss of this forging process, making the longsword of this material extremely valuable. ”
"I know that." Arya raised her hand. "The Targaryens, who ride dragons, come from the city-state of Valyria."
"That's right." Bran nodded. "The Targaryens are on Dragonstone, so they weren't destroyed in the Doomsday Havoc, and from that time on, the Valyrian steel longsword began to flow into Westeros. I have seen in the collection of Master Ruwen that there are about 200 Valyrian steel swords that have flowed into Westeros, and the exact number is 227, according to the calculations of Dr. Thurgood. Including the giant sword in his father's hand, Cold Ice, which was also obtained by the family 400 years ago, and was given the same name as the heirloom sword of King Stark during the Heroic Age, Cold Ice. ”
"I see." Jon looked like he didn't understand it now. "In other words, this ice is not the one used by our Stark's earliest ancestors."
"Please, what long sword can be used for 8,000 years is not broken." Bran rolled his eyes at Jon.
Bran continued, "There are 200 in the entire Westeros continent, which is actually quite a lot, and if we calculate it on average according to the Seven Kingdoms, we should have about 30 in Winterfell in the north. ”
"But I haven't heard of any other Valyrian steel longsword except for cold ice?" Arya asked suspiciously, and Jon nodded in agreement, Arya was a little girl who hadn't heard of it, but he was a warrior trained since childhood, and in the group of boys, he had never heard of a knight in Winterfell who had a Valyrian steel longsword in his house.
"I don't know, maybe we're too poor in Winterfell, maybe most of these swords are in the treasury of those fat-brained nobles." Bran shrugged his shoulders and said uncertainly. This Bran really doesn't know, Bran used to think that the Valyrian steel longsword was the kind of legendary epic weapon, but I didn't expect to check the information to find out, but it is too famous, and there are not many of them, this kind of weapon is just a special iron tool forged by magic when the blacksmith of the Valyrian city-state forges iron, and it is not a rare thing in the era when the magic has not dissipated. It can be seen that although this kind of steel is precious and valuable, it is not to the point of being priceless. At best, well-made weapons. If it weren't for Bran knowing that this weapon was lethal to the strangers, Bran wouldn't have given Jon this, and if he did, he would have to explain a lot, and he would be in trouble. It's poverty that limits the imagination of our Starks.
"No, you've said so much, but you haven't told me where this sword came from. It can't be stolen from the king, right? Arya gave Bran another squint. Interrupted. Jon also looked at Bran, waiting for Bran's answer.
Bran smiled bitterly, I haven't said it yet, what's the hurry.
"You know the number of Valyrian steel swords in Westeros, so do you know how many Valyrian steel swords there are in the world?" Blanche paused, and without waiting for the two to answer, he gave the answer. "There are thousands of them."
"So much?" Arya shouted.
Bran gave Arya a squint instead.
"What do you think? Valyrian steel swords do not break or rust, and except for a small number of blacksmiths who have mastered the method of reforging, the rest of the longswords are not well maintained. After the destruction of the Valyrian city-state, the Targaryen family came to this continent, but many of the remnants of Valyrian steel went to the continent of Pantos. There are much more Valyrian steel longswords there. ”
"So you sent Will out the other day to ......," Jon asked movingly.
Bran shook his head. "That's for something else, but this longsword is a bonus."
It was indeed an unexpected surprise, that day Bran Yixing Will attended the wedding of the King of Horses, presented a dog-legged knife as a congratulatory gift, and waited for the end of the wedding to take away the dragon egg, but unexpectedly, a Dothraki who had drunk too much had a red weapon, and found a tattered longsword from the tent, and had to exchange it for the dog-legged knife equipped on Will's waist. Dothraki is a savage person, and if he doesn't change it, he will still rob it. And Bran's priority at that time was to get the dragon egg. In order to avoid conflicts, in line with the idea that more things are better than less things, they were exchanged to him.
After not wanting to bring it back, the system actually reminded him that it was a Valyrian steel longsword. Bran guessed that the longsword probably came from some tyrant who had been robbed by the Dothraki and that the Valyrian steel longsword was picked up by Bran because the Dothraki used a scimitar instead of a longsword. Thinking that Jon would encounter strange spirits when he went to the Wall. And the Valyrian steel longsword can kill the stranger, and before the bear elder passed on the "long claw" to Jon, one more longsword to restrain the stranger will always be a little higher for Jon's safety.
"Don't pay attention to that sword just yet, you try this warm soft armor. You have to promise me to wear it at all times. According to the system, this soft armor is made of a high-strength fiber and a warm velvet fiber, and a high-strength carbon fiber lining is sewn on the vital parts to prevent the slashing and stabbing of ordinary swords. To put it bluntly, it is a high-grade warm stab-proof suit, which is not at the level of body armor, but it is basically invulnerable to bow and arrow protection.
Bran prepared this for Jon because of a Caesar-style assassination against him in the original play, compared to Jon's resurrection from the dead, Bran is more inclined to believe that it was hypothermia blood loss that led to body shock and suspended animation, and finally woke up from injury due to the healing of light witch magic.
"Okay, I promise you." Jon used his original sword to slash the soft armor hard, and found that it was not broken, so he knew that this soft armor was also a good thing worth no less than a Valyrian steel longsword, and he was immediately moved. Bran knew what Jon had said, and he would obey it. So I can finally rest assured. "Jon, every great sword has a resounding name. Give him a name, too. ”
Jon Snow glanced at the sword in his hand and said with a smile, "Let's call it Wolffang." ”
"Good name, I'm going to give my sword a loud name too, I'll call it a sewing needle." Arya took the thin sword in her hand, pointed it in the air, and posed a middle two pose. This moment has become the best chapter in the memories of the three of them in the future.
"Yes, yes, my knightess, give me your sewing needle first, lest I be taken away by the nun in a while." Bran felt that Arya's pose was really embarrassing, and couldn't help but interrupt her YY. snatched the sword from Arya's hand.
"You hate ......," Arya laughed and chased after Bran.
"Hey, hey, be careful with the sword, don't cut yourself." Jon shouted from the sidelines......
