Chapter 360 Permissions
[Silver steel sword, mithril steel, mithril, steel...]
Among these unfamiliar words, the only one Zhou Xu is familiar with should be Steel.
[This mithril should be some special metal. According to Silk, this silver steel sword was handed down from the old civilization. According to this time, it can be regarded as an antique. 】
With his thoughts flying, Zhou Xu pulled out the silver steel sword and couldn't help but look at the shiny silver sword carefully.
[This state is not what an antique should be in. Steel alone cannot achieve this state. Is it because of the metal called mithril? The characters engraved on the sword should have many clues. 】
Thinking of this, Zhou Xu couldn't help but fall on Silk's body.
"Has this silver steel sword remained in this sharp state from the old civilization to the present?"
After hearing this, Hilke nodded.
“Yes, every once in a while, craftsmen will polish and maintain it.”
When Zhou Xu heard this, a glimmer of understanding flashed in his eyes.
[Sure enough, there is still maintenance. After so many years, if it can still maintain this condition without any maintenance at all, it would be a magic weapon. 】
【However, even if this silver steel sword is not a divine weapon, it is definitely not an ordinary weapon. It is probably something similar to a magic weapon. 】
“Silk, are the ancient elven characters engraved on this sword?”
“Yes.”
Silk nodded again.
“It was carved by the elven craftsmen of the old civilization when they forged this silver steel sword. At that time, a war broke out and the entire world collapsed. This craft had already been developed at that time. Lost."
After speaking, Silk couldn't help but feel a hint of regret in his tone.
This is also true for Zhou Xu.
If this can get him an elf craftsman who can forge magic weapons, he will definitely make a lot of money.
But the reality is obviously very skinny.
And it was precisely because of this that after the battle with the Velociraptor Cavalry, Hilke, who had recovered some strength, could not even dispose of the corpses of his tribesmen, but he prioritized picking up the silver steel sword.
In their eyes, this silver steel sword is their highest honor as elf knights, and it is also the proof of their status as elf knights. To some extent, it is more important than their lives!
Zhou Xu did not know this, but this did not prevent him from feeling the value of this silver steel sword.
“How to bring out the power of this silver steel sword?”
"The silver steel sword itself has no method of use..."
At this point, Silk's face showed a trace of distress, as if he was having a headache on how to say this.
“Among the combat methods that our elf knights have mastered, there is a move called ‘Wind Slash’, which can condense the power of the wind element into a sharp blade and slash it out from the edge of the sword.”
While speaking, Silk made a simple gesture.
“This trick can actually be used with weapons in the village, but compared with using a silver steel sword, the power may be reduced a lot, but for us as casters, the consumption is But it’s exactly the same.”
After listening to Silke's explanation, Zhou Xu suddenly understood.
“I see, I understand.”
To put it bluntly, this is a question of efficiency. The great thing about the silver steel sword is that it can absorb 100% of the power of the Elf Knight. If it is fully exerted, if it is replaced by other weapons, it may only be able to exert 70%, or even half.
And in this way, this silver steel sword is of little significance to humans headed by Zhou Xu.
As of now, only the attack methods of the prairie elves can be of value with the help of silver steel swords.
This is also the main reason why Hilke can take out the silver steel sword so generously without fear that Zhou Xu will take it away.
Because he also knew very well that it was actually meaningless for Zhou Xu to take away the silver steel sword.
At this moment, looking at the ancient elf writing on the silver steel sword, a trace of hesitation flashed in Zhou Xu's eyes. "Silk, I want to study the ancient elven writing on the silver steel sword. If I'm lucky, I might be able to make a simple version of the silver steel sword. What do you think?"
Hearing these words, Silk was stunned for a moment.
"If it can be done, my subordinates will definitely support it."
Zhou Xu nodded after receiving this answer.
"Well, let me lend you this silver steel sword for two days and then return it to you."
What he cared about at this moment was not actually Silke's reply, but Worried about backlash.
If he wants to study the ancient elven text above, then he will definitely need to activate the 'Eye of Insight', and something similar has actually happened once before.
That was when he was at the altar of the old god, using his 'eye of insight' to peer at the mantra characters carved on the altar.
The result was a backlash, bleeding from all the orifices on the spot, and I felt like I was almost dead.
He estimated that this ancient elf text was similar to the mantra, or that it was most likely the mantra, but it came from different worlds and had different languages.
[Wait a minute, the altar of the old gods was made by the old gods, and this silver steel sword was made by the elven craftsmen of the old civilization. It makes sense that I peeked at the old gods and was bitten by the old gods, but this old civilization The elf craftsman. Can he bite me back? 】
Thinking of this, Zhou Xu raised his eyebrows slightly.
At this moment, Zhou Xu undoubtedly realized that he seemed to have fallen into a misunderstanding before, but now that he had clarified his thoughts, he suddenly felt at ease.
After waiting for Silk to leave, he told the door guard not to let anyone in, closed the door, and couldn't wait to activate the mantra.
【Eye of Insight! 】
The next second, the power of the mantra blessed Zhou Xuna's eyes as the carrier.
His eyes were fixed on the ancient elven characters engraved on the body of the silver steel sword. With his high concentration of energy, Zhou Xu gradually saw that there seemed to be faint streams of light on each of the ancient elven characters. It's flowing slowly.
Needless to say, this is the biggest reason why silver steel swords can still maintain this state since they were passed down from the old civilization.
The polishing and maintenance of the elf craftsmen only account for a small part of the factor. The real reason is that the power contained in these ancient elf texts maintains this sword!
Zhou Xu tried to obtain the power of the mantra above.
[No, the ancient elven words engraved on the silver steel sword are not the mantra itself. This feeling is more like a gift? 】
【Yes, it is giving! 】
As a person with the ability to 'give', Zhou Xu is very familiar with this feeling.
The elf who owns this mantra gave his mantra to the elf craftsman in the form of 'endowment' or other similar forms.
The craftsman used some method to engrave this set of mantras on the silver steel sword when casting it.
To put it simply, the ancient elven text on this has only the lowest level of permission to use it.
This is like a mobile phone that can only make calls. The only thing you can do with this mobile phone is to dial the corresponding number and make a call. Other than that, you can do anything else. No.
Under this premise, someone with higher authority can even stop you and invalidate it at any time, preventing you from even making phone calls.
What can Zhou Xu do? As a human being, he cannot even exercise the minimum authority.
At this moment, the system that had been silent for a long time suddenly jumped out and had a sense of presence...
