147. Valyrian steel
Larger than any other shop on Steel Street, the shop is made of wood and plaster, with a ceiling high enough to overlook the entire street. The two gates are made of ebony and fishbeam wood, and the doors are carved with a picture of hunting. On each side of the door is a knight carved out of stone, clad in red armor that looks like a griffin and a unicorn guarding the gate.
At the sound of the blacksmith's call, a figure who had been hammering by the stove put down his work and walked towards the counter.
It seems that this is 'Gendry'.
It is only normal for the master and owner of the blacksmith shop to summon apprentices to welcome customers before real problems and big orders arise.
Lan and Alya had already walked through the door and arrived at the counter.
The little girl was fascinated by the samples on display on the counter and was delighted to see them.
And Lane's cat's eyes swept over Gendry.
The boy was muscular enough to rival an adult who exercised all year round, and his face looked like he was in his teens, with black hair and black eyes. However, the development of this kind of physical latitude cannot be achieved by hard training alone, and it must be achieved by combining talent and hard training.
Lann smiled kindly.
"The helmet is good, but if you want to open a store in the future, you have to learn from your teacher. You see, before we came in, he beckoned you to come and receive us. โ
The stout boy smiled stiffly.
"I'm going to be a warrior in the future, and I don't want to be a blacksmith."
Lan En could see that he was not good at communicating with people, but he still hoped that he could respond to the kindness of others.
And then, as if to alleviate his awkwardness of communicating with strangers, Gendry fluently began a series of skillful store slogans.
"My lord, this is Tob Mott's blacksmith's shop, and the master is the best blacksmith in all of King's Landing. He is the only Artisan in King's Landing who can penetrate dye into the metal instead of coating it. And he traveled as far as the free city-state of Kohor to learn the art of blacksmithing from the masters there. Even mastered the spells and methods of forging Valyrian steel. โ
"The weapons and armor here are all high-quality goods that no one can match, and your golden dragon can only be called worth the money if it is spent here."
It is clear that the owner of this shop has plenty of confidence in his craft.
Moved out one set after another, and it sounded like a great name.
But alas, it is a complete foreigner who listens to the propaganda here.
Ran's attention was focused on the term 'Valyrian steel'.
In word order, it is clear that this technology is the thing that store owners value and are most proud of.
And in the description it mentions 'spells and methods'.If not exaggeration, this forging of steel also involves magic?
Quietly, Lan En made a smile on his face, as if he didn't want to enter this string of sales words.
Then he began to ask for information about the various exhibits on the counter, such as price, forging process, toughness, sharpness, etc.
Gendry answered these questions fluently, but was somewhat dizzy under the continuous questioning.
And at this moment, Lan En also happened to find that there were no other passers-by within more than ten steps around.
So the hand he placed under the counter grasped the magic seal, emitting a hazy white magical aura.
ใSeal of Yaxifaใ
"Sir, it's just the right time."
Mentos praised Rann in his mind for the timing.
In the process of shopping guide, Gendry has never been antagonistic to Lanen, and has always put himself in the position of a seller who needs to answer customers' doubts.
This state of mind is a good aid to the effectiveness of the [Apxifa Seal].
The sturdy boy's eyes began to blur, and Arya covered her mouth and snickered on the edge of the counter.
Lan En glared at Arya, warning her not to make noise that would affect the effect of the seal.
[Yaxi] is very fragile!
"Gendry, as a customer, I want to know if the experience of Master Tob Mott is true in the slogan just now?"
"Yes, yes, at least I think so. He might actually be able to smelt Valyrian steel, but forge a finished product from scratch? IโI don't feel like so. How long has this method been lost? โ
"Tell me what's so special about this steel."
"Valyrian steel is the best steel in the world! Legend has it that this steel is infused with magic that makes it as light as a feather, but at the same time it can cut through all non-Valyrian steel, not even scratched or curled! โ
"Bragging." Arya was pouting and complaining.
"The sword we have in Winterfell, the last time I watched Rob fiddle with it, it got stuck in the armor."
Lann turned to her and asked, "You have a sword of Valyrian steel at home?" Regardless of whether the card is stuck or not, after the sword is pulled out, is there a scratch on the sword surface? โ
The little girl smiled: "Hey, that's really not." โ
Lan En gave her a speechless look and turned her head away.
Cutting armor and getting stuck is a matter of skill and strength for the sword-wielder, but under the conditions of this skill and power, the Valyrian steel sword does not even appear to scratch, which is very indicative of the quality.
Lane did not ask Gendry the details of the technical aspects of Valyrian steel, which he could not have known as an apprentice.
And now the real master craftsman is lying on a chaise longue inside the blacksmith's shop.
It's broad daylight, and there are many people.
If Lan En goes in and uses the [Yaxifa Seal] directly against Tob Mott, not to mention how much the master's spirit of resistance will affect the success rate of the magic seal.
Just saying that there are a lot of people outside the store, it is very difficult to deal with.
Imagine that in a medieval city, a man forcibly barged into a shop and waved strange gestures at the shopkeeper, even emitting a white light, and the shopkeeper was immediately confused, like an idiot. It's not so noisy!
The witcher is good at tracking tracks, and Len has already seen this storefront, as well as its owner.
With his skills, he can sneak into a house in the dead of night, and use the [Seal of Axif] to cover the knowledge he wants to know.
Not even Tob Mott himself could perceive anything.
The leakage of this knowledge will not have any effect on the master blacksmith, and when Lan En really understands this knowledge, he will not start a work in this world to affect other people's businesses.
Moreover, the knowledge of Valyrian steel forging sounds like it involves spells, and it must be very troublesome in this world if you want to complete it.
But in the original world, it would be okay for Lan Enchui to at least bring the dean of the magic academy over to help, right?
