Chapter 127 New Wagyu Greatsword, Dark Messenger.

King's Landing, Tob Mort's blacksmith shop.

"The scabbard is made of cherry wood, and I covered it with black sharkskin. It's also decorated with a row of black bats, and their eyes are obsidian, which is ice crystal fire," Tob explained to Arthur. "But the sword is too big, so the scabbard can only be carried on my back, slung across my shoulder."

"Very good." Arthur looked at the black scabbard with great satisfaction.

Carrying a greatsword across one's shoulder is not a problem.

Just like Randyll Tarly and Kregan Stark, the old man of the North.

"You're being too extravagant, Sir Arthur! A greatsword takes the raw materials of two and a half swords. I don't even have enough material to make a dagger for you," Tob said exaggeratedly, holding up two fingers.

The greatsword is a two-handed sword and also the largest type of sword.

This type of sword is longer than a long-handled sword, generally over 1.83 meters.

Like the Frost Sword, the Dark Messenger has a long and wide blade, making it ideal for tall, strong warriors.

The greatsword uses more Wagyu steel as its raw material, and the only known Wagyu steel greatswords are Frostbite, Heartbreaker, and the lost Light Howl.

Today, the Darkbringer is the fourth Vaal Steel Greatsword to appear on the historical stage.

Although the greatsword may not seem as cost-effective as the longsword, it certainly looks cool.

"As for the greatsword; I assure you, Sir Arthur." Tob gestured for Arthur to draw the greatsword.

What's even more anticipated is the blade itself.

Light streamed through the windows of Tob's VIP room and then shone onto the greatsword Dark Messenger.

This is an exquisitely beautiful greatsword, no less than Icebreaker and Heartbreaker, and even surpassing both of them.

Arthur's greatsword is inlaid with a moonstone and a ruby, a privilege not even the Blackfire Sword possesses.

Arthur looked at the round head of the Dark Messenger, which was still inlaid with moonstone, preserving the round head of Nightfall.

The sword guard is still shaped like a black bat with outstretched wings, with bat-like outstretched skin wings on both sides.

However, the hilt of the sword contains the round ruby ​​that originally belonged to the orphan maker.

The gems that came with these Valyrian steel swords now have a different meaning.

The Philosopher's Stone is merely an embellishment for pyromancers; it originates from ancient Valyria and will prove invaluable in the future.

Arthur looked down at the blade again; the ripples on it were two colors pulling against each other.

One is a deep black, and the other is a dazzling gold.

The two colors intersect, each ripple distinct, like two lights battling each other in the interval between darkness and light.

On the blade, there is a deep blood groove running from the guard to the tip, similar to the design of an ice greatsword.

This giant sword has a fantastical beauty to it.

"The color wasn't as expected," the blacksmith admitted to Arthur. "I found that the final ripples weren't as balanced as I'd hoped, Sir Arthur. The process was very difficult, and this is the final product. If you're not satisfied, I can try again."

"That's good enough," Arthur said.

This sword is such a magnificent work of art that if we tried again, the effect might not be as good as it was this time.

"A beautiful sword, with gold and black ripples, it looks absolutely dreamlike and incredible. This sword is truly unique in the world," Sir Lucas acknowledged.

Arthur gripped the Darkbringer tightly; this greatsword was lighter than most people expected, a characteristic of Valyrian steel.

Only this metal in the world possesses the characteristics of being lightweight and hard.

"You did a great job, Master Mott," Arthur praised the weapons master. "Lucas will pay the fees."

"It would be an immense honor to serve the Dark Knight. I don't need the money; Sir Arthur can be my blacksmith."

"It adds a lot of luster to the shop," Tob said with a smile.

Besides the celebrity effect, Arthur also has a very important raw material supplier, and this relationship still exists.

"Don't worry," Arthur promised Tob. "If we can get our hands on any more refined iron later, I'll buy it all from you."

"That would be wonderful!" Tob was overjoyed.

He couldn't help but feel that Arthur Hoan was also an honest and kind person.

As long as Arthur can provide him with a continuous supply of raw materials, then Arthur will be Tob's most valuable customer.

The Dark Knight is so powerful at such a young age; this black-and-white industry chain has great potential for future development.

Arthur would buy them for free during the war and then resell them to him at a bargain price.

"But there might be some war going on recently, right?" Tob asked curiously.

"War doesn't come to us, we can go to war," Arthur said mysteriously.

"Brilliant!" Tob's eyes lit up; this was indeed a good idea.

Arthur raised the greatsword Darkbringer, and the wind howled as the sword struck.

Now that he has the greatsword, his swordplay can be transformed from one-handed swordsmanship to a more powerful two-handed swordsmanship.

Swords flashed, black and gold ripples intertwined, filling the room with dazzling light.

Arthur did not deceive Tob, there was no chaos, and chaos could be sought.

With a famous sword, it's bound to drink its fill in the chaos.

Although Valyrian steel weapons, Dawn is a renowned sword, its effectiveness also depends on the user's swordsmanship.

An ordinary swordsman wields his sword at dawn, but that's a different dimension of attack compared to the divine swordsman wielding the sword of dawn.

Eddard Stark, even with the ice, could only exert a limited effect at best, and was nowhere near as effective as the Old Man of the North.

A prime example is King Lancel IV, the owner of the Light Howl Sword, who wielded a divine weapon and unleashed a flurry of powerful attacks.

He ultimately met a violent end, which, to put it bluntly, was because he lacked the necessary skills.

Sir Wilbert Osgrey, the "Lion Cub," once fought one-on-one with King Lancel IV.

The young lion fought King Casterrock one-on-one on the battlefield and held out for half a day.

Lancel IV wielded a greatsword that shone brightly, and no ordinary iron could match it: thus the young lion was severely suppressed, and its shield was almost completely destroyed.

Finally, Sir Wilbert's sword broke in his own hand, and he was covered in blood from numerous serious wounds. He then threw himself at his enemy.

The singers said that King Casterly Rock almost split him in two, but as he lay dying, the cub discovered a gap in the king's armor under his arm and plunged the dagger right into it.

With King Casterly Rock fallen, the Western Frontier army was routed, and the Reach was saved from peril.

"A fine sword," Tob couldn't help but praise. "The name of this sword is also good, Dark Messenger, which corresponds perfectly to Light Messenger."

The Lightbringer is a red sword, a glowing magic sword.

The Dark Knight's audacity in naming his sword that way is truly remarkable.

"Do you know that sword?" Sir Lucas Dayne asked curiously.

“Of course I know. In the Eastern Continent, there are many legends of the Lightbringer and the Savior,” Tob explained, then offered Arthur and Sir Lucas a drink. “It is said that after the long summer, the stars will weep blood, and a chilling darkness will shroud the world. In this terrifying moment, a warrior will draw a burning sword from the flames—the Lightbringer, the Hero's Crimson Sword. Its wielder is the reincarnation of Azor Ahai, and he will drive away the darkness. The Lightbringer's master is Azor Ahai, favored by R'hllor! Warrior of Light! Son of the Holy Flame!”

This legend is widely circulated, but unfortunately most people consider it an absurd hypothesis.

"The Lightbringer is a fake, but the Darkbringer is real," said Sir Lucas.

"Indeed, Valyrian steel swords and meteorite iron swords like Dawn are among the best materials for renowned swords. Let's assume there's a..."

"A luminous and heat-generating messenger of light would be even more difficult to craft; I imagine it's no work of ordinary people," Tob said with a smile.

As an elite craftsman, he certainly didn't believe in the Lightbringer.

Arthur didn't interrupt. If there really is a messenger of light, then dawn might be it.

The light of the sword shines not because of the sword itself, but also because of the power of the swordsman.

If we're talking about pyromancers, then even some Valyrian steel swords can be burned.

Besides Valyrian steel and meteorite iron, another good material for making swords is the mystic ice in the hands of the White Walkers.

"Do you know Salorion?" Arthur asked.

"Of course I know him." Tob's face showed a hint of unease. "A master armorsmith, probably the best blacksmith besides myself."

Rivals are enemies, and Tob knows Salo very well.

"Do you want to invest in him, Sir?" Tob whispered.

"No, he just tried to sell me his demon helmet. But I figured I'd better not bother two people, so I came to see my old friend instead," Arthur said with a smile.

"That's good." Tob reminded him after taking a sip of his drink. "Small armor is fine, but big stuff is no good for him."

Moreover, given Sharo's actions, he's bound to go bankrupt.

"Where do you begin to explain this?" Sir Lucas asked curiously.

"Like King Robert, Salo enjoys eating, drinking, and having fun. Although he makes money, debts accumulate faster than money, and sooner or later he will need to borrow money constantly," Tob emphasized.

Arthur nodded; indeed, there were no secrets in King's Landing.

In the original story, the Stags plotted to betray Joffrey Baratheon I and attempted to help Stannis Baratheon I conquer the city.

Weapon Master Salorion is also a member of the organization.

These people rebelled because they owed the royal family a considerable sum of money, and they genuinely preferred King Robert.

Salorion's financial situation is terrible, and he's surrounded by all sorts of people. Varys has already infiltrated his inner circle.

In comparison, maintaining cooperation with Topbu will prevent any unexpected issues from arising in this supply chain.
