Chapter 288: Epitaph

In the inner room of the weapons shop, everyone saw this ancient great sword called "Epitaph".

Compared to some of today's strange-shaped greatswords, the shape of the epitaph is quite traditional.

The shape of the sword body is regular, the blade is double-sided, and the whole is streamlined, with one end of the tip of the sword gradually closing to sharpness, and the end of the sword body is broken by a small half.

The master craftsman installed the handle of the sword in the broken area, so that not only would it not affect the use, but the blade on the undamaged side of the sword tail could also act like a gauntlet, which was perfectly arranged.

There is nothing special in terms of styling, but the material of the epitaph greatsword is very special.

The blade was emerald green, with a slightly transparent texture, and Gordon had never seen such a bright alloy color, it was almost like jade.

Not only that, but the emerald green sword surface is also covered with mysterious patterns and words of unknown meaning.

The starlight image that spreads out from the head of the sword shimmers like a real star.

With the change of the surrounding light, the words in those squares are also like candle flames, constantly jumping and changing, magical and weird.

What was even more surprising was that these patterns and words were neither cast nor engraved on the sword, but sunk inside the sword.

This kind of process is simply incomprehensible with today's technology.

"Is this one?! Oooh! This is! The old professor rushed to the epitaph sword that was placed on the weapon rack as if he were crazy.

The nose was poked into the sword.

"This is the writing of the early days of ancient civilizations! Unlike the mature writing of ancient civilizations that are studied in the mainstream today, this kind of writing may even be passed down to the last super ancient era!

What's even rarer is that this text is unexpectedly complete, without missing or damaged! This is simply the greatest archaeological discovery of the year! ”

The professor wiped his glasses vigorously, and little by little carefully observed the patterns and words on the sword.

"Even I can only make out the characters 'dragon', 'calamity', 'steel' and 'fire' in these words, as well as this obviously symbolic star pattern, what does it mean?!"

"I'm sorry, teacher, he's so excited." Alva whispered an apology to Gordon, and his eyes were drawn to Gordon's Fire Dragon armor.

"Huh?! Is it actually the material of the Fire Dragon? ”

Gordon tugged at the corners of his mouth and tore off the young scribe who had glued to himself.

I almost forgot that Alva has little interest in ancient civilizations, but he has always had an extraordinary passion for biology.

I guess I kept my head down before, so I didn't notice the material of my armor, and now the addiction to research has been hooked?

"Gordon! The text and pattern information on this sword is very important, I have a request! The professor ran up to Gordon and looked up at him.

You don't want me to donate the "most important archaeological discoveries" to academic institutions, do you? Gordon muttered to himself.

"I hope you can lend us this sword for a day or two, and I will copy the patterns and words on it and keep it as important research materials and documents!

Remuneration conditions are free for you to open, I will go and apply for above! ”

Gordon waved his hand relaxedly when he heard this, "It's a trivial matter to borrow it for two days, and you don't need any conditions, just don't break it." ”

When he copied the map of the ruins of the Scribes, the professor didn't say anything, and he wasn't so stingy.

The master craftsman added beside him, "Since the professor was invited by me, then the old man will be the guarantor in the middle, old fellow, don't think crookedly." ”

The professor glanced at her, "This big sword itself is worthless to me, all I care about is the information on the sword, and can I still make the weapon of Gordon the Kid hairy?" ”

The master craftsman snorted and did not continue to argue with the professor.

Turning his head, he introduced to Gordon with a smile: "I believe you can also see that the alloy material used in this epitaph sword is very special.

The hardness and heat resistance are extremely high, and with the current forging technology, it cannot be smelted at all, so it can only be polished to restore its original appearance as much as possible, and at best install a strong hilt. ”

The master craftsman walked to the weapon rack and gently stroked the plain blade, "High hardness brings extremely high sharpness and destructive power.

In this respect, it is similar to Ling's Fire Dragon Huang Sword, and even so, it is also an excellent high-ranking sword.

What's more, this ancient great sword contains a magical power. ”

"Magical powers?" Gordon repeated the somewhat mysterious-sounding statement.

"In addition to the four common attribute energies of fire, water, ice, and thunder, there is also a 'dragon attribute', which is little known."

"I've heard of it, but I've never really seen a dragon weapon." Gordon thought for a moment and looked at Hayata, "Does Mr. Amos have a dragon attribute sword?" ”

Hayatta shook her head.

Gordon pinched his chin, "Fire, water, ice and thunder, are all things that exist in nature, but dragon attributes. It feels very abstract. ”

The grandmother of the master craftsman put her hands behind her back and explained, "Under normal circumstances, there are only two weapons that will have the dragon attribute on them.

The first is the epitaph, which comes from ancient heritage, and the ancient ancestors studied this energy very thoroughly, but now it has been lost.

The other is that some weapons made of ancient dragon materials will also come with dragon attribute energy, a typical example is the old mountain dragon. ”

The mother-in-law of the master craftsman stopped at the point and did not continue to go deeper on the issue of "ancient dragon".

The professor added, "In addition, there are some extreme cases, such as the Blue Fire Dragon and the Sakura Fire Dragon.

They can't use dragon energy on their own, but their materials can be activated in a special way to create weapons with a small amount of dragon energy.

The reason for this has not yet been determined, and some scholars believe that this special energy is the real cause of its mutation and subspecies. ”

Gordon was slightly stunned when he heard this, he always thought that the fire dragon was a sudden mutation similar to albinism, so there was still such a statement?

The great craftsman's mother-in-law nodded, "The old man also prefers to support this point of view, mainly because the fire dragon's resistance to dragon attributes is very weak.

Theoretically, dragon attribute energy is also more likely to invade their bodies, which may explain why the appearance of the Blue Fire Dragon and the Sakura Fire Dragon is not an isolated case. ”

How did it suddenly become an academic discussion?

Gordon, who was a little speechless, hurriedly broke the topic back, "So, the dragon attribute energy of this epitaph sword is relatively high?" ”

"Very high."

The great craftsman's mother-in-law said solemnly: "It can even be said that among the countless great swords that the old man has seen, the dragon attribute energy strength of the epitaph is the first deservedly. ”

The evaluation of the great craftsman was so high that Gordon was a little surprised.

"It's not surprising, after all, it's a work of that era, and a considerable part of the weapons handed down from ancient times contain dragon attribute energy."

The professor glanced at Gordon, "Gordon boy, do you know what the most widespread use of dragon attribute weapons is?" ”

"What?"

"Deal with the ancient dragons."

(There's another chapter in the evening.)

Ps. Don't seal the dragon sword, that material is blind.

And here I mentioned another possible cause for the appearance of the cherry blossom fire by the way, that is, the energy theory, this statement feels very reasonable, and the most powerful evidence is the attribute of the cherry blossom fire weapon, in addition to fire and dragons.

As for age, I think it's more nonsense - if it's really a cherry blossom after middle and old age, the official should be as clear as the red electric dragon and the green water dragon.
