Chapter 53 Like Blood Demon Steel
Putting down the two little girls and picking up the dark red metal ingots from the anvil, Lester frowned.
After the ingots were formed, he perceived an instinctive 'desire', a desire to be obtained.
Originally, he thought it was his own delusion, but it wasn't until he heard Meredith talk about the existence of 'it'.
"What the hell are you?"
With a heavy ingot in hand, Lester closed his eyes and tried to feel it in his own way.
Everyone looked at Lester's solemn expression, and they didn't dare to disturb him.
The sound of the stove burning faded away, and Lester's eyes were dark, as if nothing had happened, no different from closing his eyes.
'Delusion? Try a meditative state. ’
Sink your mind, your tongue against your palate, and your consciousness is focused on the location of the pineal gland.
Lester successfully entered the meditative state of the assay posture.
In a meditative state, even the darkness disappeared without a trace, and Lester returned to his [Lake of Mind].
The so-called [Lake of the Heart], to put it simply, is actually a picture of imagination.
The calm and clear clear water lake, without a trace of waves under the dark purple starry sky, [Lake of the Heart] is the spiritual world that Lester has spent more than ten years building in his meditative state, from the darkness of nothingness, to a well, to a lake, and finally to build and outline the stars, and finally create a dark purple starry sky.
In this spiritual world, Leicester can completely relax his mind and body, and also have the effect of increasing the senses, in Lester's view, the spiritual world in meditation also has the effect of 'inner vision' in Eastern culture.
Just like the calm lake and the twinkling starry sky, it not only represents Lester's stable mood and spirit, but also indicates that he is healthy.
Looking at the surface of the lake, which did not have a trace of waves, I don't know if it was an illusion, Lester seemed to notice that the originally clear water of the lake had become a lot greener.
"Where did this green come from?"
Lester frowned, it was okay not to look at it, but after looking at it, he only felt that the lake was getting greener and greener the more he looked at it.
Then, after discovering this, a flash of red light flashed in the vast dark purple starry sky, and the red light descended from the sky like a meteorite with a streamer, and smashed straight into the lake of the mind, stirring up huge waves.
"Something is wrong!"
His face changed, and Lester quickly stepped back, his meditation interrupted by an abrupt and terrifying vision, and Lester left the lake of the mind and returned to darkness, his consciousness regaining control of his body.
The palms of his hands began to heat up, as if they were holding a ball of coagulated blood, indescribably soft.
'Harvest...... Destroy...... Come ......'
A strong scarlet killing intent burst out from the depths of his heart without warning, Lester opened his eyes suddenly, the familiar fire was still burning, and the metal ingot in the palm of his right hand had not turned into blood.
It's an illusion, but it's not an illusion either.
What exactly this means is unknown.
The expressions of the crowd were a little solemn, and Meredith opened his mouth even more, but he didn't know how to describe it, and quickly closed it.
Sheena pulled Lalester's left hand and spoke weakly.
"Brother Lester, your expression just now is so terrifying."
Misha was a little worried.
Putting down the metal ingot, Lester slapped his face, picked up the two little ones again, and said softly.
"Sorry, didn't scare you?"
"We're fine."
Misha shook her head, then pointed to the metal ingot on the anvil.
"That piece of iron just turned so red, it's horrible."
"It's okay, there's my brother here, don't be afraid."
Reassuring Misha, Lester turned to look at Christol.
"Uncle Blacksmith, please explain the metallic nature of this ingot."
"Yes, my lord."
Taking a deep look at Leicester, Christol withdrew his gaze, suppressed his excitement, took a deep breath, and began to describe what he had just gained.
"This ingot has a much higher hardness than steel, and the ductility is not very good, and it may require the use of other materials to improve the ductility, and the specific situation of fusion forging with other metals needs to be further tested......
The melting point of the metal ingot is extremely high, and it is necessary to use black stone wood to heat and smelt the ore, and there are many impurities in the ore, and there seem to be some associated mineral elements that I have never seen before......
At the same size (volume), the weight of metal ingots is much higher than that of steel, and I still need to measure how much......
If you only use metal ingots to forge equipment, you can consider forging short swords and short knives that are less difficult to forge, long swords are difficult to forge, and the weight of the weapon is not something that ordinary people can bear, but considering the hardness of metal ingots, it can be made into a thin sword, as long as it can increase the malleability of the sword spine......
It is difficult to apply a single armor on the battlefield due to its weight, so alloy armor can be considered......
All in all, this metal ingot is a rare weapon material, and once applied to the battlefield, it can easily defeat enemies using refined steel equipment, and can be used to build an invincible army! ”
After everyone had digested it a little, Lester looked at Meredith and Christol.
"Is there anything else you would like to add?"
"I need the physical object to test the specific performance of the equipment, and I have nothing more to add."
Meredith shook her head, and Christol was a little excited.
"My lord, before this, this metal ingot has never appeared, since it was discovered by our jade collar, it is a gift from the gods to our emerald collar, for the sake of secrecy and convenient communication, I also ask Lord Leicester to give this mineral two new names."
Looking at the dark red metal ingots that were quietly placed on the anvil, and remembering the 'self-voice' I heard when I left the Lake of Minds, I made a decision.
"The color of this metal ingot is black and red, similar to red copper, and it was brought out by the rats at the bottom of the mountain, so it might as well be called [mountain copper], as for the external side, it can be claimed that this is a special steel smelted with special magic materials, and it can be called [magic steel] if it is made of magic steel."
"[Orichalcum] and [Demon Steel] are good names!"
Feeling that Lester's two names perfectly matched his own view of metal ingots, Christol looked excited.
After naming him, Lester looked at the blacksmith apprentices present, his eyes cold.
"The stakes are high, and in order to prevent leaks, the War Workshop will be put under martial law, and the Noxian Black Iron Guard will take over the defense.
All blacksmith apprentices will be strictly monitored and protected by the Noxian Black Iron Guard, and from this day forward, you will live in the war workshop for a long time, and you will not be allowed to enter and leave at will, and you must get Margaret's permission to leave, otherwise you will be treated as a defector, and those who violate the order can be killed on the spot. ”
