Throne of Vientiane Civilization

[Silver steel sword, mithril steel, mithril, steel...]

Among all the 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 passed down from the old civilization. According to this time, it can be regarded as an antique. 】

As his thoughts whirled, Zhou Xu pulled out the silver steel sword and couldn't help but take a closer look at the shiny silver sword body.

[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's eyes couldn't help but fall on Silke.

"Has this silver steel sword remained in this sharp state from the old civilization to the present?"

Silk listened and nodded.

"Yes, every once in a while, craftsmen will polish and maintain it."

When Zhou Xu heard this, a flash of understanding flashed in his eyes.

[Sure enough, there is still some 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 was lost at that time."

Speaking of the latter part, Silke 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 regained some strength, could not even dispose of the corpses of his clansmen, but picked up the silver steel sword first.

In their eyes, this silver steel sword is their highest honor as an elf knight, and it is also the proof that they are an elf knight. To some extent, it is more important than their lives!

Zhou Xu didn't know this, but it didn't stop him from feeling the value of this silver steel sword.

"How exactly should we unleash the power of this silver steel sword?"

"The silver steel sword itself has no method of use..."

Having said this, Silke showed a trace of distress on his face, as if he was having a headache about how to say this.

"Among the combat methods that our elf knights master, 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 move can actually be performed with weapons in the village, but compared to using a silver steel sword, the power may be much lower, but for us as casters, the consumption is exactly the same. "

After listening to Silk'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 bring out 100% of the power of the elf knight. If it is replaced with other weapons, it may only be able to bring out 70%. Or even half.

And in this way, this silver steel sword is of little significance to humans headed by Zhou Xu.

From the current point of view, only the attack methods of the grassland elves can be used 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 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?"

Silk was stunned for a moment after hearing this.

"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 the fear that he would suffer backlash.

If he wanted to study the ancient elven text above, he would definitely need to activate the 'Eye of Insight', and something similar had 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.

As a result, I suffered a backlash, bleeding from all my orifices on the spot, and I felt like I was almost dead.

He estimated that this ancient elf writing was similar to the mantra, or that it was most likely the mantra, but it was a mantra from different worlds and in 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 elven craftsman of the old civilization. He can Come back to bite me? 】

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. As he concentrated his energy, Zhou Xu gradually saw that there seemed to be weak streams of light flowing slowly on each of the ancient elven characters.

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 accounted 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’s giving! 】

As a person with the ability to 'give', Zhou Xu is very familiar with this feeling.

It was the elf who owned this mantra who gave his mantra to the elf craftsmen in the form of 'endowment' or other similar forms.

The craftsman then 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't do anything else.

Under this premise, someone with higher authority can even shut down your computer at any time and prevent 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 regained its presence...

[System prompt: The sample of ‘Elven Mantra’ has been detected, do you want to extract it? 】
