Chapter 156: Bran and the Three-Eyed Raven (Part 1)
After a long absence, Su Yuan finally returned to the place where he had just arrived. If nothing else, this is where it all ends.
As soon as possible, Su Yuan went to his own forging workshop. According to Ned, what he wanted, it had been built.
Three blacksmiths still live here. Su Yuan did not return, and they were not allowed to leave. In fact, even if Su Yuan returned, it would be basically impossible to leave if he bought them. Whether it was Su Yuan or even Ned, they all understood that this kind of top-level craftsman was still very useful during this time period.
"Your Excellency, you see this is the Valyrian armor we have built. Legend has it that only the strongest swordsman next to the noblest royal family of Valyria was eligible for such armor. ”
What appeared in front of Su Yuan's eyes was a full-body armor. The kind that is very complete, able to wrap almost every detail of the whole body. And more importantly. This armor is not bulky.
At every joint, at every point that needs to be moved, there are delicate soft connections. Under normal circumstances, the steel craftsmanship of this world cannot guarantee the strength of the armor on the basis of this kind of precise linking. But with the magic metal Valyrian steel, none of this is a problem.
"At the same time, we do what you ask. The whole armor achieves a kind of ...... Modularization. That's it. All parts of this armor are detachable. You can disassemble part of it at any time to turn the whole body armor into light armor and half armor. Even wearing just shoulder pads or something, it's perfectly fine. ”
The modularity of this split is specifically requested by Su Yuan. Because the whole body armor of this world is too bulky. At the same time, considering that he will travel through different worlds, it is impossible for all worlds to walk in a full-body metal armor. That's why this design was proposed.
For purely manual work, this modularity is actually more complex, more time-consuming and labor-intensive. But this concept, applied to other industries, is a huge breakthrough.
Su Yuan put on all the armor one by one, and then tried to move his body.
It's flexible, though it can't be compared to the agility of not wearing armor. But it's already able to play about 80% of the speed. For a full-body armor, this is basically the pinnacle of artisanal craftsmanship.
What's more, this armor can be disassembled at any time. For example, removing the shoulder pads, or the elbow link, can liberate the shoulder and elbow area. The same is true for the waist, knees, etc.
"Very good, I'm satisfied. But your work isn't over yet. Su Yuan said, took out two Valyrian ingots, and handed them to the three blacksmiths. As soon as the three of them saw that kind of ingot, their eyes straightened.
"Oh my God, that's the military-industrial reserve of the days of the Valyrian Fortress of Freedom. The legend is true, you really set foot in the ruins of the Valyrian Empire and find the buried treasures? Tell us, what's going on with the Valyrian Peninsula? ”
"Hehe, to put it mildly, you guys are dead to this heart. The entire peninsula has been utterly destroyed. Chaotic magic pervades the peninsula, and for people like you, going to the peninsula is a dead end. Even I can't handle all the troubles. These Valyrian ingots help me forge my sword. All styles are required. ”
With so much Valyrian steel, Su Yuan certainly had to make use of it as much as possible. He couldn't have carried this huge pile of Valyrian steel on his back to travel around the world. Before there were no storage space items, many things had to be chosen.
And when it comes to the invasion of the Aliens, the Valyrian sword is a necessity. Su Yuan is going to build a batch and give it to those who deserve it.
………………
The land of eternal winter, on a corner of the sky. A large, withered fish beam is standing in the snow and ice. Of course, the word standing is not accurate. Because this fish beam has withered and is not in shape, not even a leaf can be seen. He stands just a kind of lingering.
Several creatures with short stature and blue-green patterns on their bodies were looking at Yuliangmu with worried expressions. The fish beam wood is immediately followed by a small hillside, and the root of the tree is a cave. And in the depths of the cave, countless fish beams and wood roots are exposed.
They crisscrossed and pierced an old body. Rotten flesh and blood, entangled with the withered roots. The result is a strange symbiosis. However, looking at the decaying state of the fish beam wood, this symbiosis may not last long.
In some unspeakable spiritual world, an old man is walking in the past with a child. That boy was none other than Bran, who had lost his memory and had been unconscious since he threw off the city wall. At this moment, he is in the world of dreams, following the three-eyed crow, experiencing a certain feeling of penetrating the past.
The Three-Eyed Raven has a very peculiar ability to see the past, so the world is no secret to it. At the same time, it is able to control a variety of animals and share a field of vision. Roam the sea of spirits. Peek into the depths of other people's souls.
And at this moment, Bran is walking in a somewhat strange place, the wolf forest. In other words, he was standing where Su Yuan first appeared.
"Look, there he is, boy. Try to track him down and find his deeper past. See where he's coming from, and who he really is? ”
Brambrandt walked to Su Yuan's side at a glance, then crossed Su Yuan's figure and looked behind him. Then he stopped.
"No, it shouldn't be like this. I can't see it, he's right here. My instinct told me he was right here. Further, I can't see it. It's as if he's ...... Not the same as it used to be. ”
"Impossible. Everyone has their own past. If you can't see it, it only means that you haven't done well enough. Or rather, he somehow covered up his past. He's a powerful magician, and might be able to do that. Bran, deep into his soul, his spiritual world. Look at what he cares about, what he fears. Ultimately, look at the god behind him. ”
The world that Bran walks in is a long river of history, a projection of history, or just a sea of consciousness condensed by the human spiritual world. In fact, the original book did not give much explanation for this. But one thing is certain, that world has a certain connection with the real world. This can be seen from what happened to Bran's stupid servant, Addo. (He is hurt in the real world, feeding back into his past body, and at the same time influencing the present in turn, forming a closed loop of time.) )
In the middle of the night, Su Yuan of Winterfell suddenly opened his eyes. The beast instinct gave him a kind of early warning of being watched. But he couldn't sense where that peeping was coming from. Even if he used all his senses and searched all of Winterfell, he couldn't find the source. And that feeling of peeping was everywhere, and Su Yuan's face changed for a while. He stood up and grasped his sword in his hand.
And in the dream space, a flame suddenly appeared.
