Regarding Zi Lao, people present did not know much about him.
After all, the status of a swordsmith is still very low in this world. Even if he has forged many magical weapons, it is difficult for people to remember his name.
But Zi Lao's instantly recognizable huge right arm is what attracts the most attention.
Just looking at this lavender arm, many warriors upstairs couldn't help but stand up.
There were whispers around, and everyone was amazed.
At the same time, Zi Lao's current title is the first president of the Swordsmiths' Alliance.
The Swordsmiths Alliance that was independent from the Mingjian Villa was another wonder that these martial arts people discovered after coming to the Mingjian Villa.
What is the significance of an alliance organized by blacksmiths?
However, Zi Lao, who is known as the first president of the Swordsmith Alliance, must have sufficient attainments in swordsmithing. There seems to be no objection to having a swordsmith explain what a magic weapon is.
"Everyone, I am the current president of the Swordsmiths Alliance, and I am also the chief planner of the exhibits presented at this press conference. I am not as good as everyone here in terms of martial arts training, but I have studied swordsmithing throughout my life and have created many eye-catching swords.
Weapons. For example, the sixth ranked dragon chant, the eighth ranked bamboo flute, the thirteenth ranked rain shower, etc..."
Everyone present was even more surprised when they heard the names of these famous weapons in the world.
Three of the top fifteen weapons on the weapon list were made by Zi Lao?
Seeing everyone looking at each other with disbelief in their eyes, Zi Lao had a smug smile on his face.
"I have been studying sword-making for many years, and I have been thinking hard about a question, that is, what kind of weapon can be regarded as a true magic weapon. In other words, what potential does a weapon that can be called a magic weapon need to have? This question has always troubled me.
I have been with you for many years, and I even had the idea of giving up making swords. It was not until a few months ago that I met a young man, and from his mouth I learned what the real magic weapon is."
Zi Lao paused and glanced at everyone present.
These martial arts people are a little impatient, thinking that you have talked such a lot of nonsense, what kind of weapon can be called a magic weapon, you should tell me!
"Balance!" Zi Lao squeezed out lightly.
Two words were added, "Only weapons with balanced attributes can be called magic weapons."
"Balance?" Everyone was stunned. No one could understand the meaning of these two words.
"The so-called balance means that the various attributes of the weapon need to balance each other. As we all know, if you want to make the weapon absolutely sharp, the strength of the weapon will decrease, the width of the sword body will increase, and the sword will be affected by the wind when it is used.
Even more serious. If you blindly pursue the sharpness of your weapons, then in future confrontations with warriors, your weapons will be easily damaged or even broken when the weapons collide, and the speed of the sword will also be reduced.
A sword should not only pursue sharpness, but also pursue strength, weight, shape, and even length. These seemingly unimportant attributes determine the overall ability of the sword. At this point, some people will ask, what about the material?
?Indeed, good forging materials can greatly improve the overall ability of the sword. The materials used by the top-ranked magic weapons in today's weapon spectrum are very rare. Weapons forged with precious materials will naturally be better than ordinary materials.
The weapons produced are better.
However, there are only a few weapons forged from special materials, and many of them are unique in the world. Scarce resources represent high value, and only famous sects and individuals in the world can possess them. This also makes
Nowadays, the major magic weapons in the world only exist in legends, and cannot become sharp weapons in the hands of many warriors. Is there a weapon that can be used close to the strength of rare magic weapons, but is forged from ordinary materials? And
Can it be copied in large quantities to meet the needs of more warriors?"
"To put it simply, it should be to use ordinary materials to forge weapons that are close to rare materials, but have a cheaper price, and are not unique and can be copied continuously?"
"Probably."
"But how good can a weapon made of ordinary materials be? How can it be comparable to weapons made of rare materials?"
Everyone in the audience was confused and didn't believe much in Zi Lao's words.
Xia Shang was watching from above, when suddenly a person came beside him.
"Xia Shaoxia, we meet again."
Xia Shang went to see it and found that it was Ye Xiaoyun.
Xia Shang glanced at him up and down. Now Ye Xiaoyun was stunned.
He looks a bit more like Ye Xiaoyun. No matter his conversation, mannerisms or eyes and posture, he can't look like the former water bandit.
But last time Xia Shang and Xue Lengxiang were trapped in the Shenbing Pavilion, Ye Xiaoyun said that he would bring people to rescue them, but nothing happened. This made Xia Shang a little dissatisfied with Ye Xiaoyun.
"Young Master Ye, you look more and more beautiful."
Ye Xiaoyun did not speak, but walked closer and whispered: "The Red Flower Club and the White Clothes Sect are here, and they are with the people from the Haotian League. I don't know what they are discussing. Come here to remind me."
After saying that, Ye Xiaoyun turned around and silently returned to the place where Liuyun Sect was.
Xia Shangyi frowned, but he didn't have any clue. He was very surprised how the Red Flower Club and the White Clothes Sect could be together.
These two families are not exactly martial arts sects. One is a church, and the other is a private martial arts organization with a strong banner. In the past, the two families had constant conflicts and deep hatred for each other. It is a bit curious that they came together after a few years.
I don’t know if these people are here just to see this press conference or if they have other intentions.
In any case, Xia Shang has grievances with these families, so it is better to be careful.
Xia Shang looked at Xian'er who was not far away.
This girl is actually still sleeping, carefree and doesn't seem to care about her surroundings.
Xia Shang frowned and walked over, standing next to Xian'er.
Xian'er represents the teaching, even if she sits and sleeps all the time, every move around her is closely watched.
As Xia Shang came closer, all his eyes turned away from the outside, all staring at Xia Shang, not knowing what he was going to say to the people of the Ming Cult.
"Are you still sleeping?" Xia Shang's voice was very soft.
Xian'er was startled and sat up straight. She breathed a sigh of relief when she saw it was Xia Shang.
"Wake up, things won't be so peaceful. You are the primary target now."
"Don't worry, I have my own sense of discretion."
Both of them spoke very calmly.
After saying that, Xia Shang returned to Yueru and continued to act as the junior uncle of Shuiyue Villa.
Looking back to the audience, there were two more people on the stage, each holding two swords.
Zi Lao explained on the side: "It's not true, so let's make a simple comparison for everyone from now on."
