Chapter 481: Chapter 505: Weapon Enchantment Chapter 481: Chapter 505: Weapon Enchantment Lancelot nodded upon hearing the words, removed the Frostslash that was on his back, and took out the Giant Sword Glacier from his Dimensional Bag, placing the two weapons side by side on the table.
“By Moradin above, this really is huge…”
The two Dwarves exclaimed in unison at the astonishing size of the Glacier, giving Lancelot a sense of inexplicable satisfaction.
“You know they’re talking about your sword, right?” Tijana said, her face bearing a smile that wasn’t quite a smile, as she looked at Lancelot askance.
“Of course, of course.” Lancelot nodded somewhat awkwardly, “These weapons are forged from cold iron, they are quite effective against Fiends, but wouldn’t this material conflict with Fire System enchantments?”
“Indeed it does have an effect. When the power of the Enchantment is activated, it will suppress the properties of cold iron, no longer negating the innate armor of the Fiends. However, when you’re truly battling with Fiends, you wouldn’t need the power of flame…”
The male Dwarf kept his head down as he spoke, intently inspecting Lancelot’s weapons so much that he didn’t notice a small portion of his beard being sliced off by the sharp sword blade. Seeing his increasingly furrowed brow, Lancelot became somewhat curious and asked,
“The condition of these two swords should be quite good, right? I’ve always made sure to maintain them well…”
“Well… I’m afraid… actually… it’s not that good.” The male Dwarf raised his head with a complicated expression, pointing to several inconspicuous striations on the spine of the sword, “See these ‘scars’, they only appear when a sword is on the verge of breaking. I’m certainly not questioning Master Barrend’s craftsmanship, but he might not understand your way of fighting…”
“What do you mean?” Lancelot was even more puzzled, “My fighting style isn’t… particularly unusual, right?”
Lancelot suddenly realized that with his strength after Foundation Establishment… there might indeed be a problem.
“A skilled blacksmith can understand what a weapon is saying.” The male Dwarf’s fingers glided over the spine of Frostslash, his eyes misty as he said, “This sword says it is very happy to be wielded by you. When it was first forged, it never imagined that so many enemies would die beneath its kiss. But your strength is too great, it’s overburdened, merely relying on…”
“That’s enough.” The female Dwarf elbowed her companion in the side, “Sir, let me translate for you. This sword was designed with a balance of hardness and toughness in mind, but from the marks on the blade, it seems more like it has been wielded by a steel golem. The internal stress has accumulated to a certain level, and it’s very close to the critical point.”
“I see…” Lancelot roughly understood the other’s meaning, “It’s a good thing you discovered this in time, the consequences could have been unimaginable if it had broken during combat. What about the Glacier? Although I don’t use it often, I delivered my heaviest attacks with it.”
“The condition of this greatsword is much better, as it was indeed designed for full-force cleaving.” The female Dwarf shrugged her shoulders, “For the best enchantment effect, we need to reforge them in their forging furnaces, which would be a good opportunity for Master Barrend to repair and… modify them. As for the choice of enchantments, my recommendation is to enchant the hand half sword with Ignite, and the two-handed great sword with Flame Burst, this combination would achieve the best effect.”
“Alright.” Lancelot nodded, “And my companions, their weapons need enchantments as well…”

“We have already investigated that,” the male Dwarf took over, “The son of Master Barrend uses a Dwarven Flying Hammer, which already possesses powerful magic. My suggestion is not to replace the enchantment, but simply to replace the Earth Crystal embedded in it with a gemstone imbued with the power of the Fire Element. The Nail-headed Hammer of the Elf Priest Alamir is also a magic weapon, its disintegration effect is already sufficient, and since melee is not his primary combat method, it need not be altered. As for Miss Elizabeth, she has more options, but I would not recommend a Fire System enchantment…”
“Why not?” Lancelot raised his eyebrows curiously, “I thought lighting it up would be quite suitable for her.”
“Such enchantments emit a glaring flame upon activation, and as far as I know, Miss Elizabeth is a Wanderer. Holding two glowing weapons is not a good idea; it would make it hard for her to disengage from combat or to avoid attracting unnecessary attention,” explained the male Dwarf patiently, “Shanno and I had a little debate about this, but neither of us could persuade the other…”
“I think the enchantment should be sharp, making the wound bleed severely,” interjected the female Dwarf, “Miss Elizabeth is a Vampire… from the Blood Race, right? She should have the ability to draw power from blood, and this enchantment would pair well with her racial talent…”
“I told her, not all from the Blood Race relish that ability; some even view it as a curse… at least that’s how a few of my colleagues who were attacked by Vampires feel,” the male Dwarf shook his head dramatically, “I suggest the Paralyze enchantment, which can reduce the pain of the wound. Many excellent Dwarven physicians apply this enchantment to their scalpels, and it works wonderfully.”
“But what good does that do?” the Succubus Lord suddenly spoke up, “If the enemy doesn’t feel pain, wouldn’t that make them tougher to handle?”
“Lord Tijana, you are indeed correct, but if Miss Elizabeth isn’t responsible for the front line combat, then this enchantment is more beneficial than detrimental,” Gadein, the male Dwarf, replied with utmost respect, facing the Succubus Lord’s doubt, “In the heat of battle, the enemy might because of lack of pain perceive her as a less significant threat, thereby focusing their attention on others who appear more dangerous…”
“Alright, that’s the one!” Lancelot and Tijana exclaimed in unison, which caused a peculiar expression on the Dwarves’ faces as they had also heard rumors about the mysterious and beautiful Vampire girl’s background.
“Cough cough, Elizabeth is like a sister to both me and Lord Tijana,” Lancelot coughed twice, quickly changing the subject, “Plus there’s old Reap, that Werewolf also uses a pair of short swords…”

“There’s no budget for him,” the Succubus Lord immediately interrupted, “And that guy likes to coat his weapons with ointments to deal with different enemies, you don’t need to worry about him.”
“This…” Lancelot scratched his head, “Is that really okay?”
“His main job is to pull your carriage,” Tijana shrugged, “According to past reports, former agent Reap will definitely not waste any effort on anything beyond the objective of the mission. Okay, masters, take these two swords and get to work now, I will send someone with the others’ weapons later.”
“Thank you,” Lancelot stood up, watching as the two Dwarven Artisans left, “Once the weapons are ready, we can depart.”
“Yeah… off again…” Tijana responded absently, her fingers mindlessly tracing circles on the armrest of her chair. Then, as if making up her mind, she took out a small handkerchief from her bosom, “I have something else for you, it’s not completely finished yet, but it should be enough for now…”
