Capítulo 16: Chapter 16 - The Work of Industry
Looking at the incomparably excited Oak-Sorin in front of her, Lily was a little unsure of what to say for a moment, although she was grateful for the other party's trust in herself, but a very real problem lay in front of Lily's eyes, this blade was a little taller than Oak-Sorin from the photo, but her own height had come to five meters, and Sorin was only about a meter tall, what was a long weapon for Sorin might be barely considered a short blade for herself.
"Ahem."
Perhaps reading Lily's thoughts, Mansou coughed harshly, using it to rouse Sorin's senses.
"Old oak ah, Lily is still relatively young, that knife of yours, how to say it is also something that can be ranked on the supreme great karma object twelve work, she is still shallow in her knowledge, you give a talk."
People old fine horse old slippery, after Wan Shou so a little dialing, back to the spirit of Sorin naturally see out Lily's thoughts, he turned back to the blacksmith store inside shouted:
"Brats? Don't lie on the doorway, come out and listen if you want to, and bring out a few stools by the way."
Hearing Sorin's words, several apprentices immediately carried chairs and ran out, but just ran two steps to see Lily and Wanshou's figure and then froze, looked at the stools in their hands and the two men's size, for a moment a little overwhelmed.
"It's fine, it's fine, we'll just sit on the floor." Wanshou saw the apprentices' dilemma and waved his hand and sat cross-legged Lily followed suit and sat on the ground.
"Ahem," Thorin sat on his specially raised stool leveling his gaze at Lily.
"There are who knows how many weapons in the world, even if you hold a breadstick that has been sitting around for a long time you can call it a weapon, but everything in the world has its advantages and disadvantages, the better the weapon the more sought after it is, and someone has written a ranking of these weapons, its twelve workings of supreme great karmic weapons, twenty-one workings of great karmic weapons, and fifty workings of good karmic weapons." The apprentices carried a blackboard and Sorin wrote three names on it with a special long chalk.
"Of course, the rankings of these three weapons are not permanent, there are always weapons that are damaged or better weapons that appear to replace the previous ones."
"And what would the weapon that was replaced be called?" Lily asked, raising her hand like a schoolboy.
"Good question, none of my stupid students asked that," Sorin gave Lily a thumbs up approvingly while glancing at his indisputable students before continuing, "Replaced weapons are not discarded, once they become a certain grade, they will always be a weapon of that grade, however Damaged weapons have a new name, no karma zero work (private), and the ranking of weapons are selected every ten years, these weapons are recognized by everyone as powerful, generally to the majority of swords, firearms are not among the participants, I remember there was a lance was rated as a great karma twelve work, but unfortunately it was later damaged by unknown reasons, but don't listen to me so easily, even the lowest level of good karma are are rare treasures, the most important point in wanting to create a weapon that is called a karma object lies in the soul."
"Soul?"
"Yes, in the view of us sword makers, blacksmiths and forges, all weapons are not cold killing machines, they can also have a soul, that's why we are so disdainful of those simple polished swords, that kind of weapon that has not been repeatedly forged, bent, removed impurities, plasticized, and finally quenched and polished does not deserve to be called a weapon, but only the forger who pours his heart into his craft is worthy of being called a weapon. Only a weapon that has been born with a soul after pouring out the heart and soul of the forger is worthy of being called a participating artifact."
"The soul of a weapon?" Lily touched the sharp horn on her head and began to think about the meaning of weapons and looked at the broadsword she had just gotten, "Doesn't he have a soul?"
"Unfortunately, no." Sorin knew what Lily was talking about, "He was forged from things I gathered from those ships, and as much as I tried, the souls of weapons aren't born that simply, they were plasticized before, and changing form again they couldn't get rid of the attributes they had at the beginning, this blade can only be described as a good weapon, but not an excellent companion. "
"If you go out to see more, you will find that those excellent weapons are almost all from mineral-rich islands, because the metal that has just been smelted is the easiest to be endowed with a soul, they are like a blank sheet of paper on which the forger can draw to his heart's content, and even some forgers like our Dwarven clan will go digging for minerals and smelting them themselves, all involved from the beginning to the end, all by themselves. Participating all by themselves from start to finish, creating true treasures."
Thorin tilted his head up and looked at the sky, he was once one of the strongest forgers in this world, but because of the descendants of that group of sinners, his own homeland was destroyed, they were the best forgers, but not the best fighters, in the unceasing attacks of all sorts, his own country was completely wiped out, most of his people were killed, and the rest of them fled to the outer sea, he himself, if he didn't have the fluke of running into Wanshou, and having his life saved by him, himself This last forging master of the Dwarf clan would also have died at sea, although the two of them later came to Onsar to live in seclusion after sailing for a while, but he was still alive, and was still able to teach his craft without having no one to succeed him.
"So the Red Shadow that Mr. Oak just mentioned is a Supreme Great Karma Twelve Worker?" Lily continued to ask.
"That's right, because I have accomplished the most important point of the Supreme Great Karma Object, the soul of the complete weapon, he has his own character, his own temper, his own thoughts, of course, this also means that this weapon is extremely difficult to be tamed, there must be an owner who is in harmony with the temper to be able to use it, and if it doesn't meet his requirements, then it will be injured by him, which is why he is called the Demon Sword. "
"Well it is indeed rare, but the size of this blade doesn't seem to fit me very well." Lily scratched her head and smiled awkwardly, she was a bit tempted after hearing half of it, but she really wasn't good at using small knives, her moves were all wide open, a broadsword like the one she had just gotten was her favorite type.
"Hohahahaha, blame me, I forgot the most important point, the reason why the Red Shadow you see is so small is because he's in my hands, that's why he's so small." Sorin slapped his head and laughed.
"In your hands? It's hard to believe that this blade is still some kind of Devil Fruit ability?" Although it was ridiculous for a weapon to eat Devil Fruit, Lily could only guess so much.
"Devil fruits? No, no, no, we wouldn't use something like that for a weapon we forged, one thing that all Supreme Great Karma Objects, and even some Great Karma Objects and Good Karma Objects, can do is that they will follow their user and change their own size to the size that is best for the user." Sorin stood up in his chair and waved his arms excitedly, looking down at Lily grudgingly.
"Change size?" Lily exclaimed, this was truly something she hadn't expected, it was magical.
"That's right, it's the most direct manifestation of a weapon's soul, and of course, there's the added bonus that you have to be recognized by the weapon in order to make it the way you want it to be, and I've taken advantage of that, I'm his forger after all, the equivalent of his father, and while he doesn't recognize me as his master, he can still cast a net over me."
"But you just said that the only way to do that is to be recognized by the weapon, are you so confident that I can be recognized by the Red Shadow?" Lily asked with a smirk.
"Of course, trusting the vision of a 140 year old forger, I was sure from the first moment I saw you that you would be able to be recognized by the Red Shadow, and that you would be able to find the Red Shadow as well, weapons and their owners are attracted to each other, I've always believed that, our clan all believe that, and the world believes that as well!"
