Everyone looked at the dancing York, and the latter's excitement was palpable. Flanner couldn't help but asked York: "Excuse me, Master York, what is this weapon made of, and what's special about it?" ."
York nodded and motioned for everyone to sit down, then he clasped his hands behind his back and shook his head and said: "Let me start with the material of this two-handed giant sword. The first metal that humans extracted from natural ores was copper. It is made of Weapons are far stronger and sharper than those primitive stone weapons, but copper itself is not hard enough after all. Later, someone discovered that adding some tin to copper can make it harder, because after adding tin, the original yellow color of copper changes. It turned green, so the copper mixed with tin was called bronze."
"Later, people slowly learned to smelt iron from natural ores. This gray iron metal was harder than bronze and the weapons made of it were sharper. So people slowly gave up the use of bronze and replaced it with Iron is used comprehensively, but even today, the orcs in the north can only smelt bronze, and their level of smelting iron is simply useless... "
Lear suddenly interrupted and said: "Does the orc's ability to smelt iron have something to do with this sword?"
York's face turned red. He knew that he had gone off topic, so he continued the topic: "About four hundred years ago, there was a kingdom in the south of the continent. Their king died in a foreign war. , the main force was also lost, but who knew that the 12-year-old prince of the king actually took his personal bodyguards to the battlefield, a miraculous raid, a miraculous victory, this little prince won, After reversing the fate of the principality's demise, the little prince later conquered many surrounding countries with his own bodyguards and established a powerful empire. The prince claimed to be a descendant of the powerful Alexander Empire hundreds of years ago. The powerful empire fell apart after hundreds of years of glory. Although it was restored decades later, it did not last long. The prince claimed that the empire he established was the continuation of that empire, which was Alexander's Third Empire. .”
"Wherever the troops of Alexander's Third Empire went, there were almost no opponents. In addition to their warriors being extremely brave and good at fighting, it was also because their craftsmen discovered a new smelting technology, using extremely high-temperature magic produced by magic arrays. Flame melts and purifies a large amount of iron. The refined metal is the steel we commonly use now. Weapons made of steel are sharper, harder and lighter than iron weapons. After a large number of armies were deployed, Alexander's Third Reich After defeating more than a dozen surrounding countries, the prince, later Emperor Alexander, entered the most glorious moment of his life."
"The weapon you brought, based on its texture, decoration and other details, I have just checked a lot of information, I can be sure that it was produced in the era of Alexander's empire. Look at the sword The handle is carved with six blooming lilies..."
Everyone looked in the direction of York's finger, and sure enough they saw several six-petal lilies. Lille curled his lips and said, "They're just ordinary lilies. Even our magic hands often make them with this pattern." How dare you judge the decoration."
York carefully pointed at the lily petals on the sword handle with a thin iron needle and said: "The lily patterns made by Magic Hand and even most other people are ordinary six-petal lily patterns. The six petals of a lily are all tilted up, which is exactly the same as the lilies we often see. But if you look carefully at this one here, only three petals are tilted up, and the other three are It curls downward, unlike ordinary lilies."
Everyone looked carefully at the place York mentioned, and sure enough, it was like this. Ryan asked: "They are also called lilies. Is there any difference between this style and the ordinary style?"
York said proudly: "Of course there is a difference. The real name of this kind of lily is golden lily, also known as sword lily. It is the national flower of the Alexander Empire. At that time, only the kings of Alexander could use this pattern on the entire continent. It used to be A young prince from a kingdom embroidered this pattern on his clothes, which caused a war. Later, that kingdom was destroyed by Alexander's empire."
Seeing that everyone accepted his point of view, York continued: "So this is a weapon from the Alexander Third Empire era about 400 years ago. The material it uses is refined Andrew steel. It is said that the craftsmen of the Alexander Empire at that time We can use one hundred parts of smelted pure steel to refine less than one part of Andrew steel. This kind of steel is named after the emperor of the empire. The weapons made of it have terrible lethality and can cut through the strongest weapons at that time. The armor can even cut off burning flames, which is why this sword is extremely sharp, and its special decorative pattern is enough to confirm that this two-handed giant sword was the sword of King Andrew, the only king of the Alexander Empire. , in this case, it is normal for this sword to be sharp. After all, it is using the power of an empire to forge a sword. I infer that the reason why this sword has such fierce murderous intent is because of the lifelong battles of King Alexander. , the giant sword was stained with so much blood that it became so terrifying."
Ryan nodded secretly in his heart. What Master York said was absolutely right, but there was only one small thing that he didn't mention. That was that this two-handed giant sword was not just stained with blood. God knows that King Alexander was there. Did you bring it with you during the ceremony? And for hundreds of years, this sword has been with King Alexander in the tomb, receiving a steady stream of energy from the blood pool. I'm afraid it is no longer an ordinary sword. weapon, but became a powerful magic weapon,
York looked at the two-handed giant sword with satisfaction and said happily: "This kind of finished product made of Andrew steel is extremely rare. Today I not only saw the finished product, but also saw the weapon that King Andrew once used. Sure enough, It’s well-deserved, no wonder some people say that Andrew steel was the strongest raw material available to mankind at that time.”
"The strongest raw material." When Ryan heard this, he suddenly had a question in his mind. He said, "Then why are most magic items made of mithril?"
"Hahahaha." York laughed. He looked at Ryan and said: "Whether it is copper, bronze, iron, steel, or even Andrew steel, these metals have a common characteristic, that is, they are repellent to magic. They are made of The items that come out cannot be enchanted at all, so how can they be made into magic items?"
Ryan's face turned slightly red. He knew nothing about this knowledge, but York obviously found that Ryan didn't understand this aspect very well, so he explained in detail: "The biggest characteristic of mithril is its fusion with magic, and no matter what it is, Such a metal, even if it repels magic, will no longer be resistant to magic after being fused with mithril. However, the metal after being fused with mithril does not lose its other original properties, such as solidity, hardness, etc., so when making When making magic items, part of the mithril will be blended into the raw materials so that they can be enchanted. The other properties of the items that can be made into them, such as the hardness and sharpness after being made into weapons, etc., all depend on the raw materials used."
Ryan understood immediately after listening to York's explanation. He said: "That is to say, the magic items made after copper is fused with mithril and the items made by Andrew steel fused with mithril have similar magical effects, but for example, a handful of Weapons, weapons made of Andrew steel can easily cut through weapons made of copper."
York smiled and nodded, praising Ryan and saying, "Yes, that's it. As long as the magicians who add magic to them are of the same strength, the magic effects of the two finished products will be almost the same. But in reality, you basically can't see it." If you use mithril to fuse copper, the value of mithril can far exceed that of copper, iron and other metals. Basically, the price of a portion of mithril is a thousand times that of the same amount of iron, so most magic items now use It is made of good pure steel mixed with mithril, which is why magic weapons are relatively sharp in people's minds, because its raw materials are inherently very sharp."
Ryan, Alando and Flanner nodded together. They had never thought of this before. York said with regret and hope: "If Andrew steel can be mixed with mithril, I don't know what the weapons produced will be." To what extent, Andrew steel is extremely hard, and the weapons made are extremely sharp. It just cut off the mallet in my hand just by making a roar. After fusing with mithril, a large number of magic circles can be added to enhance the effect, oh , God of Wisdom, if you use Master Victor's magic matrix to superimpose, what kind of monster will be made? Maybe only the gods can make such a thing, wouldn't it become an artifact?"
Although this idea sounded good, it was obviously unrealistic. York said a few words and gave up. At this time, Ryan took out another thing, which was the purple magic robe. York saw Ryan take another When something came out, he was immediately full of expectations. Ryan said: "Master York, you don't have to worry about the history of this magic robe. I just ask you to take a closer look at the purpose of the magic circle on it."
York took the magic robe and unfolded it flat on the table. The purple magic robe suddenly appeared in front of everyone again. York's face suddenly burst with excitement, and his hands even began to tremble. Ryan Looking at him a little worriedly, this poor Master York is quite excited tonight. From the magic scroll to the Andrew Steel to this magic robe, don't let anything happen.
Master York covered his heart with his hand and said with a hint of tears: "Oh my god, my God, God of Wisdom, did you finally remember me as your believer tonight? Why would you put such a thing on me?" In front of me, my God, I finally saw this legendary thing."
