Chapter 438: Volume 9: Phantom of the Ancient Castle, - 5: Rebirth
In contrast, the weapons and armor wielded by the two Dark Knights seemed rather inferior. The dull, lusterless long sword in Vladimir Koff’s hands was clearly an antique, yet Komer evidently lacked knowledge in this area.
However, the Dark Knight generously informed Komer that it was one of the creations of the famous Dwarf forge master Ou Yezi from hundreds of years ago, and its rarity could be discerned simply from the choice of materials used to forge this long sword.
The sword, which appeared unadorned to the eye, was entirely forged from a dark series magic metal—Ghostly Sand.
Ghostly Sand was not originally classified as a magic metal, but it possessed certain properties of magic metals and was exceptionally tough. However, to refine the fine grains of Ghostly Sand, melt them into shape, and finally craft them into a Hundred-refined long sword, not only did it require considerable time and effort, but it also demanded expert control of the firing temperature by the Caster.
If the smelting was insufficient, the resulting product would be fragile and break easily, rendering it scrap. On the other hand, if the smelting was excessive, the product might have enough flexibility but lack stiffness, diminishing the sword’s sharpness. Therefore, over the hundreds of years on the Blue Continent, no one but a Dwarven smelting master could undertake such crafting.
Vladimir Koff was also not clear about the name of this long sword; after all, Ou Yezi had produced many famous weapons in his lifetime. Many peerless masterpieces have been passed down, but many others remain undiscovered, and their true names are difficult to know.
The flexible armor that Solonberg was meticulously wiping was also a masterpiece by a dwarven giant. Komer could discern some clues about this piece; it was unequivocally Anti-magic Armor, the type of armor favored by Knights to withstand Magic Attacks.
For a long time, Knights who pursued Martial Dao and Magicians who explored the laws of Magic Heaven had different goals and, in principle, should not have conflicts. However, living on the Continent, no one could truly escape from secular interests, and often for their own benefits, Knights and Magicians could stand on the same front line, and naturally, they could also stand on opposing stands.
The confrontation between Knights and Magicians has always been a focal point of interest, with the question of who truly rules the Continent troubling every race since the existence of the Continent, but to this day, there is still no clear conclusion.
