Chapter 356: True-Lightbringer (Part II)

"Can you stop for a moment?"

Melisandre is going to be angry, can't this guy in front of her be a normal child of prophecy and honestly take the Lightbringer to cut down the ghosts. One will sell it, and the other will melt it, don't toss and be unhappy?

Egger knew he was probably going too far, but he had to ask.

The grant is now making obsidian weapons by melting and forging on a large scale, and the reason is that Melisandre has confirmed that the obsidian is heated and melted and cooled into shape, so that the fire mana contained in it will not be lost.

So, does Valyrian steel, which is much stronger than obsidian, also have this property?

Egg patiently waited for the frantic red-robed woman to calm down a little before repeating solemnly, "I'm asking very seriously - will melting and reforging the 'Dark Sisters' invalidate their magic to restrain the ghosts?"

......

It took Melisandre a while to compose herself. The person in front of him can not only let himself experience the pleasure of sex that he hasn't seen for a long time, but also ignite the anger that he almost forgot what it feels like, and he is really a strange man.

"You're not in the right question, as the insider will know: you're typically not understanding the difference between 'spells' and 'magic', 'enchantment' and 'infusion'. "Melisandre was tempted to say that the reforge would fail, so that Egg would die. But at the moment of the great enemy, she didn't want to affect the outcome of the final battle by conveying some false information, causing the Child of Prophecy to misjudge the situation, "The one I used to make your sword shine was a spell - a spell is made up of two steps: magic and casting, and the process of casting it on your sword is called enchantment. However, the reason why Dragon Steel is Dragon Steel is not because of any spell attached to it, but because the power in the blood of the Dragon King is deeply engraved into its material in the form of infusion in the most critical part of the forging. Doing so is costly, far more difficult than enchanting, and requires a lot of load, but once done, the power is securely locked within every inch of Dragon Steel. ”

"Spells can be destroyed, interrupted, and countered, but magic is indestructible. The advantage of 'enchantment' is that it can be applied or canceled anytime and anywhere, allowing it to perform all sorts of strange functions. But the flaw is that it is extremely unstable, not to mention melting and recasting, or it will fail in an instant if it is knocked out of a crack. Melisandre gradually calmed down: "The disadvantage of 'infusion' is that the magic power is deeply locked in the depths of the material and difficult to release, and the effect cannot be exerted without piercing the enemy's body. The advantage is that unless you master the correct method of exorcism, it will be difficult to make it lose its magical properties. Don't say that it is melted and recast, even if it is cut into cubes and ground into powder, each pinch will still firmly retain the power it should have. ”

"That's good, I'm going to forge the Dark Sisters into ......"

"Don't worry, I'm not done yet. As if to avenge the vengeance that Fang had only been intervened twice, Melisandre unceremoniously interrupted Egger's words, "Melting does not damage the magical properties of Dragon Steel, it refers to the ideal situation. Recasting tile steel requires superb technology, a little improper temperature control, a little impurity seepage, can make it deteriorate and denature, and once this happens, although the original magic power still exists, the self-recovery function of Dragon Steel and the strength of its body will be greatly reduced. ”

"Is there anyone in the world who still has the best level of technology?"

The corners of Melisandre's mouth curled into a smile of unknown meaning: "There used to be, but such national treasure-level craftsmen all live in the Valyrian Peninsula, the heart of the Fortress of Freedom. ”

"You just say it's all dead. The Valyrian Peninsula was the site of the apocalypse, and Iger snorted in displeasure as he felt mocked, "Who is the best among those who are still alive?"

"The court of Kohor had craftsmen who had mastered the most complete technique of casting tile steel......"

"It's too far away, and when the craftsmen across the Narrow Sea arrive at Houguan Town, I will all turn into ghouls and follow the Night King to Winterfell. Iger didn't hesitate to veto, "Westeros, is there anyone of the same level?"

"Many well-known blacksmiths choose to go to Kohor after their studies, and as far as I know, there is one in King's Landing who claims to know the spells and methods of forging Valyrian steel. Melisandre was no longer angry at being interrupted, but asked with a straight face, "What do you want to reforge?" I have to remind you that if you want your weapon to have the effect of killing the Wraith, you can simply set it with obsidian. And the Dragon Steel Sword's unafraid of ice magic and its toughness, sharpness, and unstoppable characteristics cannot be replicated!"

......

A craftsman in King's Landing?

Iger carefully recalls that in the original book, it seems that the person who helped Tywin successfully reforge the ice was a well-known attacker in King's Landing, so even if this person is not the best tile steel recaster in the world, at least the reliability of the bottom line is still there.

Egger's mind raced, and in an instant, his mind was decided. He nodded, but changed his words: "Lady Melisandre, do you still have a memory of the day we first met?"

The red-robed woman tilted her head in confusion: "It's not very pleasant, I admit that I was a little reckless that day...... But if memory serves, I've got your understanding. ”

"I'm not talking about the unpleasant part, but a whole bunch of issues that we discussed once we sat down. You are the first living person I know of who possesses extraordinary powers, and it is from you that I have heard for the first time about the existence of the God of Cold and the Lord of Light, who are more transcendent than the ghosts and you...... These are not the key. One last question I asked, you didn't give me the answer at the time: how do you kill the strangers if they wear armor. ”

Melisandre's answer at the time was that the caster's attire should be as simple and light as possible, so she never wore underwear or heavy coatsβ€”something Egg had verified for himself not so long ago, but the question itself remained unanswered: what if the Wraiths were willing to sacrifice some of their casting abilities and put on an armor that couldn't be penetrated by obsidian?

"I didn't realize at the time that you were the prophesied prince, so there were many things that I didn't bother to explain to you. The red-robed woman also remembered the past, and she spoke without thinking, "But now I can answer you, the Lightbringer can definitely kill any stranger in armor. ”

"I don't doubt it, but there is only one sword, and there are many strangers...... If they're all covered in armor that protects against obsidian weapons, am I going to challenge them one by one?"

"So you came up with the idea of forging the sword into many parts?"

......

Iger couldn't admit that he didn't want to fight the Wraiths because of cowardice, but he knew that the argument would go on for a long time without a strong argument. Looking at Melisandre's stance of "swearing to protect the Sword of Prophecy", it is likely that it will eventually lead to conflicts between herself and Melisandre...... even made her doubt the authenticity of her identity as the son of prophecy.

Although he didn't really care about being a prophetic child, he did benefit a lot from it in his good conscience. A high-quality** and free mage advisor delivered to your door, don't be a fool.

After clearing his throat, his expression was grim and he entered the long-lost flickering mode: "The Lord of Light told me in the flames that I should not only divide the Sword of Prophecy into multiple parts, but also make it into a ranged weapon. ”

Isn't the good mutual trust maintained by not concealing, not cheating, and speaking directly on weekdays just to play a big and convincing game at a critical moment? I had been refusing to admit my identity as the Prophetic Son before, because I was worried that the real Prophetic Son would be too embarrassed one day, but the Green Prophet's words suddenly made his eyes clear: The so-called Prophetic Son is just a trick of "pointing wherever you hit".

There is no predestined child of prophecy at all, but whoever fulfills the prophecy is the child of prophecy.

In that case, why can't it be yourself?

Sure enough, as soon as these words came out, Melisandre, who had a "death will not agree" expression a moment ago, quickly showed a look of surprise, and became extremely pious and fanatical in the next second. It didn't occur to her to ask questions like: when did you see it, and if you were lying to me...... Instead, he chose to believe it without thinking about it.

"What else did he say, and did he have any instructions about me?"

"No, this is the first time I've seen something in the fire, and I thought it was a delusion at first, and the message wasn't very clear, and I didn't expect the prophesied weapon to appear in this form at first. Egger shook his head, still a little confused, and then became firm again: "But now, everything is certain. I'm going to divide the Dark Sisters into as many arrows as possible, with the best shafts and feathers. And this set of arrows was named ......"

He paused, enjoying the thrill of writing the legend himself.

"Lightbringer. ”
