Astartes of the Bear School

Chapter 148 147. Valyrian Steel

This shop is larger than any other shop on Steel Street. It is built of wood and lime plaster and is high enough to overlook the entire street. The two doors were made of ebony and weirwood, and were carved with a hunting scene. On both sides of the door there is a knight carved from stone. They are wearing red armor and look like a griffon and a unicorn guarding the door.

At the greeting in the blacksmith shop, a figure who was banging a hammer by the stove put down his work and walked towards the counter.

It seems that this is ‘Gendry’.

  It is normal for the master master and owner of the blacksmith shop to call on his apprentices to welcome guests before the real problems and big orders arise.

 Lan and Aaliya had already walked through the door and came to the counter.

 The little girl was fascinated by the samples on display on the counter and looked at them with great pleasure.

 And Lan's cat eyes swept over Gendry.

This boy is so muscular that he can even compete with an adult who exercises all year round. His face looks like that of a teenager, with black hair and black eyes. However, this kind of development of physical dimensions cannot be achieved by hard training alone. It must be a combination of natural talent and hard training.

 Lan En’s friendly smile.

“The helmet is pretty good, but if you want to open a store in the future, you have to learn eye contact with your teacher. You see, before we even came in, he called you over to receive us.”

 The sturdy boy smiled stiffly.

“I plan to be a warrior in the future, not a blacksmith.”

 Lan En can see that he is not good at communicating with others, but he still hopes that he can respond to others' kindness.

Immediately afterwards, as if to relieve his embarrassment of communicating with strangers, Gendry fluently started a series of proficient shop slogans.

"Sir, this is Tob Mott's blacksmith shop. The master is the most skilled blacksmith in the entire King's Landing. He is the only craftsman in King's Landing who can penetrate the dye into the metal instead of coating it on the surface. And he has traveled far and wide. In the Free City of Qohor, he learned the art of forging from the masters there. He even mastered the spells and methods for forging Valyrian steel."

“The weapons and armors here are of the highest quality that no one can match. Only when you spend your golden dragon here can it be said to be a good value for money.”

 It can be heard that the owner of this shop has full confidence in his craftsmanship.

 Hands out a series of names that sound amazing.

 But it is a pity that the person listening to the propaganda here is a complete outsider.

 Lan En’s attention focused on the term ‘Valyrian Steel’.

Judging from the order of words, this technology is obviously the thing that the shop owner values ​​​​most and is most proud of.

And the description mentions ‘spells and methods’. If it is not an exaggeration, does the forging of this steel also involve magic?

　　Calmly, Lan En smiled casually, as if he was ignorant of this series of sales pitches.

 Then he began to ask about various information about the products on the counter, such as price, forging process, toughness, sharpness, etc.

Gendry answered these questions fluently, but he felt a little dizzy under the continuous questioning.

At this moment, Lan En also happened to find that there were no other passers-by within more than ten steps around him.

So the hand he placed under the counter turned into a seal, emitting a hazy white magic aura.

　　【Yaksi Seal】

"Sir, you used it at the right time." Mentos praised Lan En's timing in his mind.

During the shopping guide, Gendry never felt confrontational with Lan En, and always put himself in the position of a seller who needed to answer customers' questions.

This kind of psychological state helps the [Yakshi Seal] to take effect very well.

　　The eyes of the muscular young man began to blur, and Aaliya covered her mouth and snickered at the counter.

Lann glared at Arya and warned her not to make noise that would affect the effect of the seal.

 【Yaxi】but very fragile!

“Gendry, as a customer, I would like to know if the experience of Master Tob Mott in the promotional slogan just now is true?”

"Yes, at least I think so. He might really be able to forge Valyrian steel, but forge it from scratch? I-I feel like it's definitely not possible. How long has this method been lost?"

 “Tell me what’s so special about this steel.”

"Valyrian steel is the best steel in the world! Legend has it that this steel is infused with magic, making it as light as a feather, but at the same time it can cut through all non-Valyrian steel defenses, even They won’t get scratched or curled!”

 “Bragging.” Aaliya pouted at this moment.

"The sword we have in Winterfell, the last time I saw Robert playing with it, it got stuck in the armor."

Lan En turned to her and asked: "Do you have a Valyrian steel sword at home? Regardless of whether it is stuck or not, is there any scratch on the sword after it is pulled out?"

The little girl chuckled: "Hey, that's true."

Lan En rolled his eyes at her speechlessly and turned away.

 Having the armor get stuck is a matter of skill and strength of the sword wielder. However, under the conditions of using such skill and strength, the Valyrian steel sword did not even have a scratch. This is a good indication of its quality.

 Lann did not ask Gendry for detailed technical questions about Valyrian steel. He could not know it as an apprentice.

 Now the real great craftsman is lying on the couch in the blacksmith shop.

 It is broad daylight now, and there are many people and many eyes.

If Lann directly goes in and uses [Yaxsi Seal] on Tob Mort, not to mention how much the master's resistance spirit will affect the success rate of the seal.

 Just saying that there are so many people outside the store is very difficult to deal with.

imagine that in a medieval city, a person forced his way into a store and waved strange gestures at the store owner, and even emitted a white light. The store owner immediately became confused and looked like an idiot. The trouble was not that big!

Witchers are good at tracking traces. Lan En has already seen this store and its owner.

 With his skills, he could sneak into a house in the dead of night and use the [Yaxsi Sign] to get the knowledge he wanted to know.

Even Tob Mott himself noticed nothing.

The leakage of this knowledge will not have any impact on the master blacksmith. When Lan En really understands this knowledge, he will not start work in this world to affect other people's business.

Furthermore, the forging knowledge of Valyrian steel sounds like it involves spells, which would definitely be very troublesome in this world if you want to complete it.

But in the original world, it wouldn't be a problem for Lan Enchui to at least bring the dean of the magic academy over to help, right?
