Sharpening the Sword
Most of the undead have gone to the south of the Thalass Mountains, and the number of undead left in Quel'Thalas is also an astronomical number. However, this time Sanla does not need to go into battle personally. He only needs to sit in the back and formulate a battle plan, and then leave it to the elves and his men to execute. ♙♜ ❻9 🐙👽
After Zul'ra arranged the battle plan, he began to think about himself. You must know that this time he went to support Silvermoon City. Although he was involved in a dangerous place, his greatest success was not to win over Elves, but to clearly realize his own strength.
Winning over Elves is not something that can be successful in a day or two. Zul'ra is still laissez-faire about this matter. There is still a few years of buffering time for the dispute between Horde and Alliance. This is just preparation in advance, but it is urgent to improve his strength.
In the next few years, the curtain of the era will be completely opened. With the power of Amani, Zul'ra has already gained a place among Horde, but if he wants to truly shine, he has to make his fists and knives stronger. This is just the prerequisite.
Zul'ra summed up his experience in combat. First of all, magic is not as awesome and simple as imagined. Although it has great destructive power on the enemy, there are too many dangers in it. Second, weapons are easier to use than spells on the battlefield and it is easier to save lives. Third, the battlefield is too messy and complicated, so combat skills and magic skills must be improved.
Based on combat experience, the first thing Zul'ra had to do was to build a weapon of his own. He went to the industrial area southeast of Zul'Aman and asked the craftsmen to set aside a large furnace for him, and then asked people to take out precious ores from the treasure house.
Zul'ra was the one who learned forging from Trolls, not only from Trolls craftsmen, but also from human craftsmen. The short sword on his waist was forged by himself. This time he planned to forge a sword, but it was a magic sword blade instead of the original simple sword blade.
First of all, the material. Zul'ra still chose hard cobalt and Thorium, and then added two metals, mithril and true silver, to smelt them into alloy steel. In the process, Zul'ra threw one of his originally pulled fangs into the furnace.
After the steel is melted, it is over-forged. The melted steel is folded and forged repeatedly to remove impurities and increase the strength and toughness of the steel. After the steel is forged into a crystallized iron bar, it is wrapped in fine gold and continues to be forged repeatedly until it is shaped into a sword shape.
Zul'ra took it upon himself to shape the sword blade with hammer after hammer. After the five-foot bright sword embryo was formed, he immersed it in the magic potion brewed with his own blood, and used a spell to let energy penetrate into the sword embryo.
From smelting to forging, Zul'ra spent three full days, staying in the workshop. After the sword embryo successfully absorbed the energy in the potion, he was preparing for the next step, but unexpectedly Haimuxi came over and said that there had been changes at Elves.
"Their prince is back?" Zul'ra raised his eyes, Kael'thas returned to Quel'Thalas.
"Yes, I came back last night. They put a bonfire in the southwest corner of Ghostlands, attracting Undead to it, and then went to Goldenmist Village. They are now at Antalas, it is said that the Elves prince changed the name of their race from Quel'dorei to Sin'dorei." Haimuxi nodded.
"Let them go! Oh, by the way, go back and help me return Cosmic Infuser and see how they react. If you come to see me, just say that I am busy and won't see them!" Zul'ra's expression did not change, from High Elves to Blood Elves, something unexpected.
"Do you really want to return it? That scepter is a very good thing." Haimuxi listened to Zul'ra's words and couldn't help but change her face slightly. She had seen Cosmic Infuser. The scepter contained deep energy and could help the holder communicate with all energy beings. Witch Doctor all wanted to possess it.
"Give it back, I don't want to be greedy for such a thing, and I also want to see how high the Elves prince is. Just say, I borrowed that thing, and I'm just returning it now!" Zul'ra didn't waver. He didn't have to ruin his reputation for such a thing, and it was meaningful to return the thing.
"Okay! I'll go right away." Seeing that Zul'ra was unwavering, Haimuxi could only nod and go ahead.
After sending Haimuxi away, Zul'ra continued to build his own sharp blade. The sword embryo had not yet been sharpened. After absorbing the voodoo energy, the sword embryo glowed with a faint green aura. Zul'ra attached the blade to the fine oil stone and began to grind it carefully.
Amidst the rustling sound, the slightly blunt blade was sharpened, and the putty lime powder that was knocked off also stuck to the sword. At this time, Zul'ra picked up a handful of light from the nearby clay pot and sprinkled it on the sword. While washing away the dirt, he prayed with a spell, and used the Shaman spell to communicate with the blade with the power of the soul and awaken the aura in it.
Shaman believes that everything has a soul, even a rock or a stream of water. Zul'ra does not completely agree with this statement. He believes that everything has animism, but this spirit is not a soul, but aura. Of course, this aura is not the energy in the novel, but the aura of intelligence, kindness and beauty.
Orcish's "elemental aura" is actually a whole word, and Zul'ra recognizes it as just that. Shaman master the elements through elemental aura, which means they have mastered the intelligent, kind and beautiful breath of the elements, such as the light, heat, combustion of flames, etc. These characteristics have both pros and cons.
Shaman people can do extremely wonderful things, such as not sinking into water, not burning into fire, and integrating with the elements without having to worry about being harmed by their own characteristics. This is all because they have mastered the aura of the elements, making the characteristics of the elements beneficial to themselves and harmful to the enemy.
Only with aura can there be a soul. Zul'ra used actions to verify his idea, that is, to awaken the aura in his forged sword blade, making it incomparably sharp. And his idea was soon verified, and the blade he polished began to sprout.
At the beginning of the idea, when Zul'ra was sharpening the sword, he felt vaguely connected with the sword embryo in his hand. His whole body was unknowingly carried by the sword. He held the blade of the sword with both hands and rubbed it against the oilstone. At the same time as it made a pleasant sound, the blade was sharpened and polished.
It was as if the blade was teaching him how to do it, first the rhythm of sharpening the sword, and then the breathing of the body. During the grinding process of the sword, the green energy floating on the surface of the body began to converge to the sword body, and then dispersed and condensed with his breathing, and gradually absorbed the light in the water where the sword was washed Sacred Pool, and the color changed from green to green.
Just when Zul'ra was obsessed with sharpening the sword, Haimuxi followed his instructions and sent Cosmic Infuser to Antalas and returned it to Kael'thas, saying that it was temporarily borrowed from Silvermoon City that day and is now being returned to the original owner.
