Chapter 356 True-Lightbringer (Part 2)
"Can you stop for a while!"

Melisandre is going to be pissed off, can't this guy be a normal Child of Prophecy in front of him, obediently and honestly holding a Lightbringer and slashing Others. It will be sold for a while, and it will be melted for a while, not happy without tossing?
Igor also knew that oneself was probably a bit too much, but he had to ask.

The land grant is now using large-scale melting and casting to manufacture obsidian weapons. The reason is that it has been confirmed by Melisandre: the series of processes of obsidian melting, cooling and forming will not make the Fire Attribute contained in it. Magic power loss is lost.

So, does Valyria steel, which contains much more energy than obsidian, also have this property?
Igor patiently waited for the mad Red Woman to calm down a bit before repeating it solemnly: "I'm asking very seriously - if the 'Dark Sister' is melted and recast, it will allow it to restrain Others' Magic Failed?"

...

It took Melisandre a while to calm down. This person in front of him can not only make oneself experience the long-lost sexual pleasure, but also ignite the anger that oneself almost forgets what it feels like. He is really a strange man.

"Your question is wrong, and the insider knows it: you typically don't understand the difference between 'spell' and 'magic power', 'enchanted' and 'infusion'." Melisandre I'd love to just say that recasting will fail, so Igor's heart will die. But at the moment of the enemy, she did not want to convey any false information, causing the Child of Prophecy to misjudge the situation and affect the outcome of the final battle. It consists of two steps, and the process of casting it on your sword is called enchanted. However, the reason why Dragonsteel is Dragonsteel is not because of which spell is attached, but because of the power in the blood of Dragonlord, in forging the most critical A ring is deeply engraved into its material in the form of infusion. This is costly and far more difficult than enchanted, and the requirements for the bearing are also extremely high, but once completed, this power will be firmly Locked within every minute and inch of Dragonsteel."

"Spells are destructible, interruptible, and counterfeit; magic power is indestructible. The advantage of 'enchanted' is that it can be anywhere, anytime Applying or canceling can achieve all kinds of bizarre functions. But the disadvantage is that it is extremely unstable, not to mention melting and recasting, even if it is cracked, it will fail instantly." Melisandre gradually calmed down: "And 'infusion' , the disadvantage is that the magic power is deeply locked in the depth of the material and difficult to release, and the effect cannot be exerted without piercing the enemy's body. The advantage is: unless you master the correct way to remove the magic, even if you want it to lose Magic Attributes are also difficult. Not to mention melting and recasting, even if it is cut into cubes and ground into powder, each pinch will still firmly retain the strength that oneself should have."

"That's good. , I'm going to melt the dark sisters into..."

"Don't worry, I haven't finished." As if to avenge the two interruptions just now, Melisandre also unceremoniously interrupted. Back to Igor's words, "Melting does not damage the Magic properties of Dragonsteel, which refers to the most ideal situation. magic power illusory, invulnerable, indestructible and impregnable, but not Valyria steel! Reforging Valyrian Steel requires superb technology, a little temperature Improper control and the infiltration of a little impurity may cause it to deteriorate and denature, and once this happens, although the original magic power still exists, the function of Dragonsteel's self-recovery performance and the strength of its body will be greatly reduced."

"Does anyone in the world still master the most ideal level of technology?"

The corner of Melisandre's mouth folded into an ambiguous smile: "There used to be, but such a national treasure-level craftsman, both live in Valyrian Peninsula, the Core Zone of Freehold. "

"You just say they're already dead. "Valyrian Peninsula is where the doomsday catastrophe happened. Igor felt mocked and snorted in dissatisfaction, "Who has the best skills among those who are still alive?" "

"Qohor's court has craftsmen who have the most complete Valyrian Steel casting skills..."

"It's too far. When the craftsmen across the narrow sea arrive at Queenscrown, I will All turned into ghouls and followed the Night King to hit Winterfell. "Igor vetoed without the slightest hesitation, "Westeros, is there anything about the same level?" "

"A lot of well-known Smiths will choose to go to Qohor for further study after they have completed their studies. As far as I know, there is a person in King's Landing who claims to know the incantation and method of casting Valyria steel. Melisandre was no longer angry at being interrupted, but asked sternly, "What do you want to recast?" I have to remind you that if you want the weapon to have the effect of killing Others, you can inlay obsidian. The Dragonsteel sword is not afraid of Ice Magic and the characteristics of strong, sharp and unstoppable, but it cannot be copied! ”

……

A craftsman from King's Landing?
Igor recalled carefully that in the original book, it seems that the one who helped Tywin successfully recast Ice was a well-known craftsman from King's Landing , In this way, even if this person is not the best Valyrian Steel recaster in the world, at least the reliability of the bottom line is still there.

Igor's mind changed, and his mind was made up in an instant. He nodded , but the conversation changed: "Ms. Melisandre, do you have any memories of the day we first met? "

Red Woman tilted her head suspiciously: "Not very pleasant, I admit that I was a little reckless that day... But if I remember correctly, I have your forgiveness. "

"I'm not talking about the unpleasant part, but a whole bunch of issues that we discussed after we sat down. You are the first living person I know with transcendent power, and from you, I heard for the first time the existence of Cold God and Lord of Light who are more transcendent than Others, more transcendent than you... These are not the key. One last question I asked, and you didn't answer me at the time: If Others were wearing armor, how would you kill them. ”

Melisandre’s answer at the time was that the sorcerer should dress as simply and lightly as possible, so she never wore underwear or heavy coats—a fact that Igor had personally verified not long ago, but the question itself remained the same No answer: If Others were willing to wear armor that was impenetrable to obsidian at the cost of some spellcasting ability, how would they deal with them?

"I didn't realize you were Prince at the time. that was Promised, so there are a lot of things that didn't bother to explain to you. "Red Woman also recalled that incident, and she said without thinking, "But now I can answer you, Lightbringer can absolutely kill any others in armor. "

"I don't doubt that, but there is only one sword, and the Others have many... If they are all armored against obsidian weapons, am I going to challenge them one by one?" "

"So you thought of dividing the sword into many parts?" "

......

Igor impossible admits that oneself is cowardly and does not want to fight Others, but he also knows that if he can't come up with any strong arguments, this debate will continue For a long time. Looking at the posture of Melisandre "swearing to protect the sword of prophecy", it is very likely that it will eventually lead to a conflict between oneself and Melisandre... and even make her begin to doubt the authenticity of the identity of oneself Child of Prophecy.

Although oneself doesn't really care about being a Child of Prophecy, but in good conscience, he does benefit a lot from it. A high-quality friend and a free Mage consultant delivered to your door, don't be a fool.

After clearing his throat, he looked sullen and entered the long-lost flicker mode: "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. . ”

The good mutual trust normally maintained by not concealing, not deceiving, and speaking directly, is not just to play a big game at a critical moment and to be persuasive? I have been reluctant to admit oneself Child of Prophecy before His identity was because he was worried that the real Child of Prophecy would appear one day too embarrassing, but Greenseer's remarks made him suddenly see the light: the so-called Child of Prophecy is just a trick of "playing wherever you want".

There is no destined Child of Prophecy at all, but whoever fulfills the prophecy will be the Child of Prophecy.

In this case, why can't it be oneself?

Sure enough, this As soon as she said that, Melisandre, who had a "death and promise" expression a moment ago, quickly showed a surprised look, and became extremely pious and fanatical in the next second. She didn't expect to ask things such as: When did you watch it? Here, are you lying to me or something like that... but not even think and choose to believe.

"What else did he say? Do you have any orders for me? "

"No, this is the first time I saw something in the fire, I thought it was an illusion at first, and the information was not very clear, I didn't expect the weapon in the prophecy at first. appear in this form. Igor shook his head with a still bewildered expression, then became firm again: "But now, everything is certain. I'm going to split the 'Dark Sisters' into as many arrows as possible, with the best shafts and feathers. And named this set of arrows..."

He paused for a moment to enjoy the thrill of oneself writing a legend.

"Lightbringer. ”
