MTL - Astartes of the Bear School

Chapter 862 844. Metals that can ‘grow’

 “Interesting little gadget.”

Lan En evaluated it with his own eyes, and spread out the parchment completely in front of Berengar.

 The master blacksmith looked at the structural drawings above, touched his chin and said.

 “Is this an assassination tool?”

 After saying that, he raised his eyes and looked at Lan En.

 “When did you start doing this kind of work?”

 “It’s not that I do this kind of work, this is prepared as a gift.”

 The young witcher spread his hands.

“And when I enter the rift where the heaven and earth meet, there is a 80% chance that I will be assassinated.”

Berengar nodded thoughtfully.

"Hidden sword. This shape should be really easy to use. And the idea in this picture is a bit old-school, like an antique. I think it can be modified."

"As an assassination device, it is better to hide it under the wrist. But when the blade is ejected, what should I do with the fingers in front of it? I can't cut it off, right? Well, that's interesting. Give me some time and let me think about it. Next When you come back next time, I’ll give you the finished product.”

 “Oh, that’s right.” Berengar shook the parchment and said suddenly.

"I will make a small trial first for Ciri to use. She is delicate and frail, so this kind of weapon is suitable for use."

Lan crossed his arms and looked at Berengar amusedly.

“I remember someone who swore a vow before meeting Xili. What did he say, ‘I’m not familiar with that girl’?”

Belengar, on the other hand, said sternly: "Don't make fun of the old man's love for the younger generation! You are such an emotionless bear cub!"

 “You are right, I have no feelings.”

 Lan En responded perfunctorily.

Then he walked over to Berengar. At this work station, there were already a lot of neatly arranged Valyrian steel billets piled up.

 The square and long strip makes people look like they have the pleasure of satisfying obsessive-compulsive disorder.

Lan En reached out and took out a piece. After thinking about it for a while, he took out another piece and put it into his alchemy leather bag.

　　"Charge it to my account and report it back to Schillerton. He is now in charge of my personal fund."

After saying hello without looking back, Lan walked out of the blacksmith workshop.

 “What do you want that thing for? It’s just a blank!”

Berengar's voice came from behind.

 “New experiments come in handy.”

 Lan En didn’t explain much. After all, with Berengar’s level of alchemy, he wouldn’t understand even if I told him. Fortunately, the old demon hunter didn't ask any more questions.

Two pieces of Valyrian steel billet can be sold for a considerable price even in the auction house, but judging from Lan En's current income, it is indeed something that can be easily taken away.

 What's more, he owns a stake in this business.

 And there is no doubt that Lan En needs to use metal blanks to conduct alchemical experiments.

  【Tendin coil】.

This kind of enhanced organ was supposed to be produced by sophisticated nanotechnology, but he doesn't have the resources to make it now.

 So we can only find another way.

Lan En returned to Arethusa College and went straight to the crystal cultivation laboratory.

 In fact, what he gained from his trip to Kaer Morhen was huge. But most of them are new forms of seal release, new magic potion and decoction formulas, which are more practical things.

The practicality of these things is also the reason why the witchers of the Wolf School preserve them with all their heart.

  But that is for ordinary demon hunters, their pursuit of practicality is far greater than theory.

 In Lan En’s plan, theoretical knowledge is what he values.

 Fortunately, Archmage Arzu, his teacher, and his apprentice, these three talented mutation experts and genetic researchers, left their theoretical knowledge behind.

 And with Lan En’s extraordinary talent, he is quickly understanding, digesting, and even innovating.

The initial appearance of [Tendin Coil] is just a messy bundle of metal wires like a plant root system.

During the operation, the Space Marine Apothecaries will pry open the Space Marine's rib plates that have grown and closed like shutters, and then implant them in the chest cavity.

This metal wire bundle will automatically penetrate deep into the muscle tissue of the space warrior in the future, and spread throughout the body's muscle bundles under automatic procedures, forming a complete "inner steel".

 While enhancing defense, it also greatly enhances muscle strength.

 Metal wire bundling, there is nothing difficult about this technology. The difficult thing is to make this cluster of metal wires spread and grow in accordance with the rules in the body, and finally become what is expected.

Metals that can grow independently are enough to stump almost everyone in this magical Middle Ages.

 But whenever we say ‘almost’, there should always be exceptions.

With a soft "bang" sound, in the deserted laboratory, Lan En drew out his big sword [Turbid Current·Destruction].

As soon as the deep black sword body and the bone-white blade appeared, this originally quiet and uninhabited laboratory suddenly took on a fierce and violent aura.

 It's like there's a hungry tiger suddenly in the room, panting on the back of your neck.

The moist hot breath even penetrated into the collar of the neck, making people's hairs stand up unconsciously and their muscles tremble.

 This is the momentum that weapons and equipment that use Nergigante materials have.

Those stories circulating in the monster world, ‘Powerful equipment can eat people’. This is true!

But for someone like Lan En, who made swords with all the materials he chopped off from living Nergigant. I could kill a real Nergigant standing in front of me, but I'm afraid of one. sword?

 Lan En placed the hilt of the [turbulent flow: destruction] against his shoulder, the tip of the sword against the stone tile floor, and the entire sword stood up at an angle.

 He then took out Arondette from his waist, and drew the blade of the long sword on the broad blade.

“The super biointegration of Valyrian steel, coupled with the regenerative power of Nergigante, makes it a ‘metal that can grow on its own,’ isn’t it?”

 In fact, this [Turbid Current·Destruction] is the best example.

Lan En muttered as he used the blade of the Lake Lady's Sword to scrape the bone-white blade of [Turbid Current·Destruction].

Some substance similar to bone meal fluttered down under the blade of the divine weapon, landing on the large piece of paper that Lan En had laid out long ago.

The main body of [Turbid Current·Destruction] is a Valyrian steel greatsword. Later, through the craftsmanship of the leader of the second phase of the New World Survey Group, the gems, regeneration shells, and thorns of the Nergigante were integrated into it.

 Nearly like a small Nergigante.

The outer bone-white blade is the white thorns of the Nergigante. Although the hardness is worse than the black body of the sword, it regenerates easily and quickly. It doesn't hurt if it breaks. It can grow back quickly anyway.

As for the [Tendin Coil], it doesn’t have to be so troublesome. Lan is going to just melt the Nergigante spines into the Valyrian steel billet.
