Putting down the two little girls and picking up the dark red metal ingot from the anvil, Lester frowned.
After the metal ingot was formed, he noticed an instinctive 'desire', a desire to be obtained.
He originally thought it was his illusion, but it wasn't until he heard Meredith also mention the existence of 'it' that he became convinced.
"What the hell are you."
Holding the heavy metal ingot in his hand, Lester closed his eyes and tried to feel it in his own way.
Everyone stared at Lester's solemn expression and did not dare to disturb him.
The sound of the burning stove gradually faded away, and Lester's eyes were filled with darkness. It seemed that nothing had happened, and it was no different from closing his eyes.
'Illusion? Try a meditative state.'
Slow down, touch your tongue to the roof of your mouth, and focus your awareness on the location of your pineal gland.
Lester successfully entered a meditative state of spiritual practice.
In a meditative state, even the darkness disappeared without a trace, and Lester returned to his own [Lake of the Soul].
The so-called [Lake of the Soul], to put it crudely, is actually a imaginary picture.
A calm and clear clear water lake with no ripples under the deep purple starry sky, [Lake of the Soul] is a spiritual world that Lester spent more than ten years building little by little for his own meditative state, from the darkness of nothingness to
A well, then a lake, and finally the stars were constructed and outlined, finally creating a deep purple starry sky.
In this spiritual world, Lester can completely relax his mind and body, and also have the effect of increasing his senses. In Lester's view, the spiritual world in meditation also has the 'inner vision' in Eastern culture.
Effect.
Just like the calm lake and the twinkling starry sky, it not only represents Lester's stable mood and spirit, but also represents his good health.
Staring at the lake without any ripples, Lester seemed to find that the originally clear lake had turned a lot greener, not sure if it was an illusion.
"Where does this green color come from?"
Lester frowned. It was better not to look at it. After taking a look, he only felt that the lake was getting greener and greener.
Immediately after discovering this, a flash of red light flashed across the vast deep purple starry sky. The red light fell from the sky like a meteorite with a stream of light, and hit the lake of the soul, stirring up huge waves.
"Sure enough, something is wrong!"
His face changed, and Lester quickly stepped back. His meditation was interrupted by an abrupt and terrifying vision. Lester left the lake of the soul, returned to darkness, and his consciousness regained control of his body.
The palms of my hands began to feel warm, as if they were holding a ball of solidified blood, and felt indescribably soft and greasy.
'Harvest...Destruction...Come...'
A strong scarlet murderous intention burst out from the depths of his heart without warning. Lester opened his eyes suddenly. The familiar fire was still burning brightly, and the metal ingot in his right hand did not turn into blood.
It's an illusion, but it's not an illusion either.
What exactly this means is unknown.
Everyone's expressions were a little solemn, Meredith even opened her mouth, but didn't know how to describe it, and quickly closed it again.
Xina pulled Lester's left hand and said weakly.
"Brother Lester, your expression just now was so scary."
Misha was a little worried.
Putting down the metal ingot, Lester patted his face, hugged the two little guys again, and said softly.
"Sorry, didn't I scare you?"
"We're fine."
Misha shook her head and pointed to the metal ingot on the anvil.
"That piece of iron just turned so red, so scary."
"It's okay, my brother is here, don't be afraid."
After comforting Misha, Lester turned to look at Christol.
"Uncle blacksmith, please explain the metallic properties of this metal ingot."
"Okay, Lord."
After taking a deep look at Lester, Christol withdrew his gaze, suppressed his excitement, took a deep breath, and began to describe what he had just gained.
"This metal ingot has a hardness much higher than steel, but its ductility is not very good. Other materials may need to be used to improve the ductility. It can be fused with other metals for forging. The specific circumstances of combining with other metal materials still need to be determined.
Further testing…
The melting point of the metal ingot is extremely high, and black stone wood is needed to heat and smelt the ore. There are many impurities in the ore, and there seem to be some associated mineral elements that I have never seen before...
Under the same size (volume), the weight of metal ingots is much higher than that of steel. I still need to measure the specific amount...
If you only use metal ingots to forge equipment, you can consider forging and using a dagger that is less difficult to forge. Long swords are difficult to forge, and the weight of the weapon is not something ordinary people can bear. However, considering the hardness of the metal ingot, it can be made into
For a thin sword, as long as the ductility of the sword spine can be increased...
A single piece of armor is difficult to use on the battlefield due to weight issues, so alloy armor can be considered...
All in all, this kind of metal ingot is a rare weapon material. Once applied to the battlefield, you can easily defeat enemies using refined steel equipment, and you can use it to build an invincible army!"
After everyone digested it, Lester looked at Meredith and Christol.
"Do you two have anything else to add?"
"I need the actual equipment performance for magic testing. I have nothing to add."
Meredith shook her head, while Christopher looked a little excited.
"Sir, before this, this metal ingot has never appeared in the world. Now that it has been discovered by our Emerald Territory, it is a gift from God to our Emerald Territory. In order to keep it confidential and facilitate communication, Lord Lester is asked to pay two cents for this mineral material.
A new name."
Staring at the dark red metal ingot quietly placed on the anvil, recalling the 'self-voice' I heard when leaving the Lake of the Soul, I made a decision in my heart.
"This metal ingot is black and red in color, similar to red copper, and it was brought out by rats at the bottom of the mountain. It might as well be called [Orichalcum]. As for the outside world, we can claim that this is a special metal smelted with special magic materials.
Steel, made with magic, can be called [Magic Steel]."
"[Orichalcum] and [Magic Steel] are great names!"
Feeling that the two names given by Lester perfectly matched his own views on the metal ingots, Christol looked excited.
After finishing naming, Lester looked at the blacksmith apprentice present with a cold look.
"The matter is of great importance. In order to prevent the leakage of information, the War Workshop will enter a state of martial law, and the Noxian Black Iron Guard will take over the defense work.
All blacksmith apprentices will be strictly supervised and protected by the Black Iron Guard of Noxus. From today on, you will live in the war workshop for a long time. You are prohibited from entering and exiting at will. If you want to leave, you must obtain Margaret's consent.
Otherwise, they will be treated as defectors, and those who disobey the order will be killed on the spot."
