"Light Howl is a two-handed sword. My family's long claw is a hybrid sword." Mormont said.
"Bastard … bastard sword?" Dani was stunned.
Mormont looked around and didn't find an example on the ship. He pulled out the sword from his waist with a clang and explained, "Although my sword can be used with one hand, holding the hilt with both hands is more conducive to strength, so it is considered a two-handed sword."
The sword in Mormont's hand was 1.5 meters long from the tip of the sword to the end of the hilt. Fortunately, he was about 1.95 meters tall.
"In addition to the two-handed sword, there is also a one-handed sword used by one hand, which is a quarter to a third shorter than this one. The hybrid sword is between a one-handed sword and a two-handed sword. It is considered a hand and a half sword. We also call it a 'hybrid sword'."
"Hahaha, a hybrid sword born from a two-handed sword and a one-handed sword." The burly man, Beworth, laughed loudly. "What a hybrid sword."
Mormont glanced at him and said indifferently, "Whether it is in Westeros or Ursos, hybrid swords are the mainstream. A one-handed sword is not good for slashing, and a two-handed sword is not easy for ordinary people to wield, let alone use against enemies."
Then, he turned to Danny and said, "So, do you understand? The reason why Light Howl is expensive is because it is heavier than Long Claw and consumes more Valleglia steel.
If Ned Stark sold his clan sword, Frost, to Tywin, he would probably be able to sell it for three million gold royals. The ice is taller than most knights, 1.85 meters tall. "
1.85 meters, the tall, rich, and handsome of Valleglia steel swords!
Danny ridiculed in her heart. This tall, rich, and handsome man had benefited Lannister for nothing. He didn't even get a single gold royal.
However, it was indeed as Mormont had said. Most people would not be able to use two-handed greatswords, so Tywin had melted the ice and created two … hybrid swords, 'Widow's Howl' and 'Oathkeeper'?
Well, Ned Stark took the sword to King's Landing, was beheaded, and the sword fell into Tywin's hands.
Not knowing what she was thinking, Mormont continued, "I'm not sure about the market price of Valleglia's steel swords. Lannister is rich, and the world of rich people is different from the world of poor people like us. You can imagine that the ancestors of the Mormont Family definitely didn't spend 850,000 gold royals when they got the claw 500 years ago. "
"How much did Stark spend on the ice?" she asked.
"I don't know." Mormont shook his head. "Maybe Stark, like me, has long forgotten how much it cost him to get his clan sword."
At this time, Whitebeard interrupted and added, "Your Royal Highness, the division of two-handed sword, one-handed half-sword, and one-handed sword is not only determined by length, but the key is the center of gravity of the sword hilt.
For example, the two-handed greatsword Dawn is a two-handed sword for many people, but Arthur Dane is tall and powerful, and his arm strength is amazing. He can easily wield the Dawn greatsword with one hand.
So, by adjusting the weight of the accessory at the end of the handle, the knight turned it into a one-handed sword, but when he died, the knight of the Dane family changed it back to a two-handed sword. "
Mormont looked at the old man in surprise and nodded. "This old fellow is right. Every sword is best like an extension of the master's arm. Real knights go to the blacksmith shop to buy weapons, almost never buy ready-made goods. Generally, they have to measure the arm span and arm strength and have the blacksmith tailor them. "
"Arthur Dane, the legendary 'Sword of Dawn'!" Danny exclaimed, "Viserys said that he was the number one swordsman in the world, and that only Lega could compare to him."
Whitebeard had a look of reminiscence on his face as he sighed with emotion. "Arthur Dane's martial arts were indeed superb. He could eat skewers with his right hand while wielding a sword with his left hand. He had cut down all seven Kingsguard today. As for Prince Lega, he … "
Hearing the hesitation in the old man's words, Danny waved her hand and said indifferently, "I know Viserys is bragging. Lega is no match for Robert.
However, the Sword of Dawn is not a prince. No one needs to flatter him. His strength is definitely real and credible. Why did he die at the hands of Eide Stark, who is not known for his martial strength? "
The old man muttered, "Any warrior, no matter how strong, fast, or accurate he is, as long as he is human, there will always be a limit. He can win a difficult competition, but he can also lose a simple battle.
I have seen thousands of competitions and participated in many wars. I know that there are many factors that determine a duel.
A small pit in the grass, something dirty to eat at dinner, might mean failure, but a sudden change in the wind will give you victory. "
At this point, he glanced at Knight Jorah. "Perhaps the token given by the lady on my arm can also awaken a War God."
The big bear didn't expect the old man to involve him as he spoke. His face darkened as he said coldly, "Old man, be careful of your tongue!"
In the martial arts competition at Lannis Port, Mormont had won the spear competition with a scarf given to him by Linniss.
But from then on, he had never won a competition again.
This example was very vivid, very typical, and indeed a little damaging.
At the end of the conversation, the few of them parted unhappily. Danny also left with her maidservant.
Geoffrey slightly adjusted the route and sailed towards the north of the west for two days. Danny saw the Apocalyptic Storm Sea.
The gray sky in the distance seemed to have collapsed and connected with the sea. Or perhaps, a huge tornado formed a barrier that surrounded the northern part of the Valleglia Peninsula like a seal. It not only blocked the entry of external ships, but also prevented the demons in the ruins of the ancient civilization from escaping.
"We can't go any further, or the storm will tear us apart!" Geoffrey roared at Danny, and the wind blew his messy half-length black hair horizontally.
"Then stop." Danny also roared at him.
It was impossible not to roar loudly. The continuous storm in the distance not only brought with it whirling winds and thick water vapor, but also thunderous rumbles.
It was strange to say that under normal circumstances, if there was a huge sea storm ahead, even if there was no storm not far from it, there would be turbulent waves.
However, the sea area of the Valleglia Peninsula was completely different.
The sky ahead was dark and heavy. The strong winds and tsunamis almost broke the boundary between the sky and the sea. The sky was the sea, and the sea and the sky merged.
However, more than ten kilometers away, the sun shone and the sea was calm. Apart from the loud sounds and gusts of wind, there was almost no effect.
It was as if a wall separated the two worlds. Inside the wall was a storm purgatory, and outside the wall, flowers bloomed everywhere.
The anchors were thrown into the sea, and the three ships temporarily hovered above the sea. Danny left Geoffrey on the bridge to control the rudder, and she, Chora, and Whitebeard entered the lower cabin to discuss their next move.
"Your Highness, you must hurry. It's calm here now. Maybe in a few hours, this place will become the center of the storm. The storm wall is not fixed, and it can expand or shrink inwards.
Whether it expands or shrinks, it will cause intense meteorological changes nearby. "Blackbeard warned Danny before leaving the bridge.
"I understand." Danny shouted back.
Below the deck, the roaring of the storm was a little lower, and they could speak normally.
Seeing Danny, Whitebeard immediately advised, "Your Highness, let's leave. I didn't expect the sea area near Valleglia to be so harsh. Even the Megalosaurus can't fly over the storm wall!"
"Alas, I didn't expect it either." Danny looked helpless. "This doesn't make sense or science. A continuous storm requires a lot of energy. It's been hundreds of years, why hasn't it disappeared?"
Chora didn't know what "science" was, but he understood what she meant. He said, "The rise and destruction of Valleglia is a miracle. It's not surprising that such a spectacle appears here and now."
"What's the environment like in the Smoke Sea?" Danny asked.
Valleglia was built on a peninsula in the Summer Sea. During the Cataclysm, the volcano in the middle of the peninsula erupted, and the mainland was shattered into a strait of boiling seawater — the Smoke Sea.
Valleglia was shattered into countless pieces, and the land in the north became the Smoke Sea burning with hellfire. The sea in the south was surrounded by storms that never dissipated, and the environment was extremely harsh.
Chora shook his head and sighed. "The Smoke Sea is also very dangerous. The volcano at the bottom of the sea boiled the sea, and the exposed reefs were roasted until they smoked. The sky was almost covered by the black smoke from the volcano eruption, and the sea was dark red. It is said that there are demons and sea monsters living there."
In the harsh environment of an underwater volcano eruption, the creatures that could survive would either become demons or become demons.
"Dragons aren't afraid of high temperatures," Danny said hesitantly.
"But thousands of Valleglia's dragons died in the volcano eruption." Whitebeard poured cold water on her.
Although it wasn't pleasant to hear, it was the truth.
"Alright, let Big Black charge into the storm." She said helplessly.
"Ssss —"
The bare mast with its sails rolled up trembled slightly in the wind. The three small dragons folded their wings and curled up on it, as quiet as stone statues.
Upon receiving Danny's order, Big Black's blood-red eyes suddenly opened. It jumped down and flapped its wings, gliding toward the storm.
Danny's soul was one with Big Black's. Along the way, she constantly used Big Black's eyes to observe the situation of the Wall of Storm.
"Big Black, pull yourself up."
Big Black spiraled upwards and flew higher and higher, getting closer and closer to the storm in front. Gradually, the big ship on the sea became a black dot on the blue screen.
"Whoosh —"
Their line of sight swayed as if a helicopter had gone out of control. The gale pulled at Big Black's fleshy wings, producing the sound of whipping cooked cowhide.
"Steady, steady, follow —"
Danny was just about to let it fly in the direction of the wind, but Big Black had already adapted to the storm environment. It raised its wings to reduce the surface area exposed to the wind, and then swung its long tail slightly, stabilizing its torso like a balancer.
Like a gliding paper airplane, Big Black bobbed and swayed back and forth in the storm, but was as steady as an old dog.
"Wow, Big Black, that's great!" Danny excitedly encouraged.
"Crackle — Boom!"
A silver-blue electric net that resembled tree branches suddenly flashed in the gloomy tornado, and one of them hit Big Black's neck.
Danny let out a muffled groan. Her vision turned black and her ears buzzed. Time slowed down in her consciousness, and that short moment felt like hours.
"Kalixi, what's wrong with you?" the maid exclaimed.
In the spacious cabin, Danny, who had been silent with her eyes closed, suddenly let out a cry of pain. Two streaks of bright red blood flowed from her nostrils across her pink lips and white chin. Her body also tilted to one side as if drunk. Fortunately, Dorea reacted quickly and immediately caught her.
"Sigh, I'm so unlucky. Big Black was struck by lightning, and I helped share some of the damage." Danny waved her hand to calm the nervous crowd.
