Chapter 289 Epitaph
In the inner room of the weapon shop, everyone saw this ancient sword named "Epitaph".
Compared to some of the grotesque and special-shaped swords nowadays, the shape of the epitaph is quite traditional.
The sword body has a regular shape, is edged on both sides, and the overall shape is streamlined. The tip of the sword gradually becomes sharper, and a small part of the tail end of the sword body is broken.
The great craftsman installed the handle of the sword at the damaged area. This way, not only would it not affect the use of the sword, but the undamaged side of the sword tail could also function as a handguard, and the arrangement was perfect.
There is nothing special about the shape, but the material of the Epitaph Sword is very special.
The sword body was emerald green with a slightly transparent texture. Gordon had never seen such a brightly colored alloy, it was almost like emerald.
Not only that, the green sword surface is also covered with mysterious patterns and words of unknown meaning.
The starlight image that spreads out from the sword head is like a real star, twinkling with light.
As the surrounding light changes, the square characters are like candle flames, constantly jumping and changing, magical and weird.
What surprised everyone even more was that these patterns and words were neither cast nor engraved on the surface of the sword, but were sunk inside the sword body.
This kind of craftsmanship is simply incomprehensible with today’s technology.
"Is this?! Oh! This is!" The old professor rushed to the epitaph sword placed on the weapon rack as if he was crazy.
His nose was poked into the sword.
“This is writing from the early stages of ancient civilization! Different from the writing from the mature period of ancient civilization that is now mainstream research, this writing may even be passed down to the last super-ancient era!
What’s even more rare is that this text is actually complete, with no missing or damaged parts! This is simply the greatest archaeological discovery this year! "
The professor wiped his glasses hard and carefully observed the patterns and words on the sword bit by bit.
"Even I can only identify the characters 'dragon', 'disaster', 'steel' and 'fire' in these words, as well as this obviously symbolic star pattern. What does it mean?!" "
"Sorry, teacher, he is too excited." Alva apologized to Gordon in a low voice, and then his eyes were attracted by the blue fire dragon armor on Gordon's body.
“Eh?! It’s actually the material of the Blue Fire Dragon!”
Gordon pulled the corner of his mouth and tore off the young scribe who was stuck to his body.
I almost forgot that although Alva has no interest in ancient civilizations, he has always had an extraordinary enthusiasm for biology.
Perhaps you had your head down and didn’t notice the material of your armor before, but now your addiction to research has been aroused?
"Gordon! The text and pattern information on this sword are very important. I have a request!" The professor also ran to Gordon and looked up at him.
You don’t want me to donate the “most important archaeological finds” to academic institutions, do you? Gordon muttered in his mind.
“I hope you can lend us this sword for a day or two. I will copy the patterns and text on it and keep it as important research materials and documents!
You can decide on the remuneration conditions as you like, I will go and apply with the above! "
Hearing this, Gordon waved his hand relaxedly, "It's a small matter to borrow it for two days, and there are no conditions required. Just don't damage it."
When he copied the ruins map of the scrivener team, the professor didn't say anything. He was not so stingy.
The great craftsman added next to him, "Since I invited the professor, I'll just be the guarantor. Old guy, don't have any wrong ideas."
The professor glanced at her sideways, "This big sword itself is worthless to me. All I care about is the information on the sword. Can it still damage the weapon of Gordon boy?"
The great craftsman hummed and did not continue to argue with the professor.
It has extremely high hardness and heat resistance. With the current forging technology, it cannot be smelted. It can only be polished to restore its original appearance as much as possible. At best, a strong hilt can be installed. "
The great craftsman walked to the weapon rack and gently stroked the simple blade, "High hardness brings extremely high sharpness and destructive power.
In this respect, it is similar to Qin's Fire Dragon Sword. Even so, it is an excellent high-level sword.
What's more, this ancient sword contains a magical power. "
“Magical power?” Gordon repeated this mysterious-sounding statement.
“In addition to the four common attribute energies of fire, water, ice, and thunder, there is also a ‘dragon attribute’ that is rarely known.”
"I have heard about it, but I have never actually seen a weapon with dragon attributes." Gordon thought for a while and looked at Hayata, "Does Mr. Yamos have a dragon attribute sword?"
Hayata shook her head.
Gordon pinched his chin, "Fire, water, ice and thunder are all things that exist in nature, but the dragon attribute feels very abstract."
The great craftsman put her hands behind her back and explained: "Under normal circumstances, only two weapons will have dragon attributes.
First, epitaphs are heritage from ancient times. The ancient ancestors studied this energy very thoroughly, but now it has been lost.
The other type is weapons made from some ancient dragon materials, which will also come with dragon attribute energy. A typical example is Laoshan Dragon. "
The great craftsman’s mother-in-law stopped at that point and did not go any further on the issue of “ancient dragon”.
The professor added beside him: "In addition, there are some extreme cases, such as the Cang Fire Dragon and the Sakura Fire Dragon.
They themselves cannot use dragon attribute energy, but after their materials are stimulated in a special way, they can create weapons with a small amount of dragon attribute.
The reason for this has not yet been determined. 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 had always thought that the Cyan Fire Dragon was a sudden mutation similar to that of albinism. So there is such a thing?
The great craftsman's mother-in-law nodded, "I also tend to support this view, mainly because the fire dragon's resistance to dragon attributes is very weak.
Theoretically, it is easier for dragon energy to invade their bodies, which may explain why the emergence of Cang Fire Dragon and Sakura Fire Dragon is not an exception. "
Why did it suddenly turn into an academic discussion?
Gordon was speechless and quickly brought 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 I have seen, the dragon attribute energy intensity of Epitaph is undoubtedly the first."
The great craftsman's evaluation was so high that Gordon was a little surprised.
“It’s not surprising. After all, it is a work of that era. A considerable part of the weapons handed down from ancient times contain dragon-type energy.”
The professor glanced at Gordon and said, "Boy Gordon, do you know what the most common use of dragon-type weapons is?"
"What?"
“Deal with the ancient dragon.”
(There is another chapter in the evening
Ps. Don’t use the Sealing Dragon Sword, that material will make you blind.
By the way, I mentioned another possible cause of the emergence of Cang Ying Fire, which is the energy theory. This statement feels very reasonable. The most powerful evidence is the attributes of Cang Ying Fire weapons. In addition to fire, there are dragon.
As for the age, I think it is a bit nonsense - if it is true that the person becomes a green cherry after middle age and old age, the official should clearly explain it like the red electric dragon or the green water dragon.
