The first thing that caught Liu Che's eye was the scabbard.
How to say it, even Liu Che rarely saw such a luxuriously decorated scabbard in his life.
The main color of the scabbard is black and gold, or in other words, the material of the scabbard is black iron and gold.
The sword is made of black iron, and the gold is made into a dragon circling around the scabbard. The dragon head opens its mouth majestically to become a sword guard. The eyes are made of red tourmaline, but this tourmaline is not so transparent, but it seems to contain flames inside.
The dragon's body is also inlaid with red tourmalines in a staggered manner, and the combination of black, red and gold creates a grand and dazzling effect.
Just looking at this scabbard, Liu Che still liked it.
It's exaggerated, no matter how exaggerated it is, it's not surprising that the emperor uses something exaggerated. What's more, most of the swords worn by nobles in those days are just decorations. If they are not good-looking, Liu Che would not like them.
The hilt is even more exaggerated. In addition to the sword stem being made of gold wire, there is also a large red tourmaline inlaid at the sword head. The sword can reflect dazzling light when it is held in the hand and moved.
Liu Che was surprised to see the beautifully carved dragon scales on it. "How did you come up with the idea of adding scales to the dragon?"
Liu Tan was confused for a moment, then he remembered that many dragons these days did not have scales drawn on them, or that dragons these days were still in a stage of evolution, and it would take thousands of years of evolution to become the dragon that he had drawn on the scabbard.
No wonder when he drew the picture and gave it to the craftsmen, the craftsmen had no idea what it was.
Isn't it unfamiliar? Liu Che probably judged it from the more familiar dragon heads and horns. In addition, Liu Tan always liked various things with dragon carvings on them when giving him gifts, so it is not difficult to guess.
Liu Tan scratched his head and said, "Ah, I don't know, I just feel... there should be."
How else could he explain this? Could it be that dragons naturally have scales? Even if Liu Che pressed the issue, how would he explain why he knew dragons had scales?
However, this answer was actually not that good. Liu Che looked up at him with a smile, but did not expose Liu Tan's perfunctory answer.
Anyway, those who know the truth know that Liu Tan's true intentions have been exposed for a long time without him knowing it. Forget it, just let him continue to play deaf and dumb. What if the truth is really revealed and he runs away?
Liu Che thought about this and raised his hand to draw the sword.
He believed that his son would not give him a sword just for a luxurious scabbard, otherwise this thing would only be sent directly to the library along with other treasures.
Liu Che had already thought that this sword might be very good and sharp, but the moment he pulled it out, he couldn't help but widen his eyes in surprise.
This sword is different from any previous bronze sword. It is a very low-key silver color. It is a bit too much to say that it is low-key yet gorgeous. It can not only reflect the human figure, but also has fine and beautiful patterns on it.
Liu Che pulled out the sword completely, and saw that the whole sword was as bright as water, and it felt like holding a white silk in his hand.
If you look more closely, you will find that not only the sword body is beautiful, but even the light reflected from the sword edge is chilling.
The more Liu Che looked at it, the more he liked it. He reached out and gently stroked the sword, feeling the sharp aura it emanated.
Liu Ju, who was standing by, stared at the long sword in his father's hand with wide eyes and couldn't help asking, "Ah Tan, what is this made of?"
The color is like silver but shinier than silver, and silver is too soft to be used as a weapon material.
Before Liu Tan could answer, Liu Che, who was sitting on top, said, "Iron? Did they find a special meteorite iron to forge it?"
Liu Tan raised his head slightly and explained very proudly, "It is iron, but it is not iron. It is steel obtained by processing iron. It is refined steel!"
Liu Ju also stood up and walked over to his father, carefully examining the sword and asking, "Hundred Refined Steel? Why is it called Hundred Refined Steel?"
Liu Tan explained seriously, "Because this sword has to endure many times of hammering during the forging process to become like this, it is called Hundred-Refined Steel. It is not only beautiful, but also very sharp. Bronze weapons are generally no match for it."
"Oh?" Liu Che became interested and immediately said, "Give me that bronze sword."
Someone immediately presented one to Liu Che. Liu Che asked Bu Fan to take it, then turned to Liu Tan and said, "You were the one who said it was sharper than a bronze sword. Don't cry if it breaks."
Liu Tan immediately raised his head and said, "Father, please try. If it breaks, I'll compensate you ten times!"
After Liu Tan finished speaking, he tasted the product and felt that he was exactly like those online shop owners who claimed that they would compensate ten times the price for fake goods.
Liu Che smiled, raised his hand and chopped down the bronze sword with great force. In fact, both he and Liu Ju were prepared for the damage of this hundred-refined steel.
After all, although it is said to be tempered steel, they also heard Liu Tan say that it is made of iron. Iron products have actually been around for many years, but iron products have not been able to replace bronze products for so many years. This is enough to show that the quality of iron products in this era is actually not very good.
However, what surprised Liu Che was that when the sword touched the bronze sword, he didn't even feel any obstruction and cut it off so easily.
The process was as smooth as cutting tofu, and Liu Che almost lost his balance due to excessive force.
The bronze sword broke into two, and the tip of the sword fell to the ground with a crisp sound.
Liu Tan looked around and saw that Liu Che and Liu Ju both looked very surprised. He couldn't help but smile and said, "Well, am I telling the truth?"
When Liu Che looked at Bailian Gang again, his eyes suddenly sparkled. No one could resist the temptation of a sharp blade, not even Liu Che.
He turned around as if he didn't believe it and said, "Give me my sword!"
Liu Tan was immediately startled: "Father, there's no need to try now, right?"
Liu Che's sword has been with him for many years, and it can be seen that he loves the sword very much. Over the years, many women around Liu Che have changed back and forth, but only the sword has always been with him. From this point of view, Liu Che has a long-lasting love for the sword.
Wouldn't it be terrible if the sword was broken?
Even if Liu Che broke it himself, it wouldn't be acceptable because he was the one who presented the sword.
Liu Tan wanted to say something, but Liu Che raised his hand and said, "It's okay."
His bronze sword can be said to be the pinnacle of bronze smelting in the Han Dynasty and the best sword in this country. If the hundred-refined steel can even cut this sword, then it is undoubtedly the best sword in the world.
Liu Tan saw that he couldn't stop it, so he could only stand aside. Liu Ju pinched the back of his neck comfortingly and said, "It's the emperor's decision. Don't think too much about it."
Liu Tan immediately felt relieved, and at the same time he was eager to try it.
When this sword was first made, he tried it with all the weapons around him, but none of them could compare to this sword.
However, the weapons in his hands were just ordinary. After all, most of them were awarded by Emperor Wu of Han, and he had never collected them himself.
Now, it was made by his hands... uh, the method was provided by him. Although it was not forged by him, it can still be considered as made by his hands!
The collision between the weapon made by him and the strongest weapon in the world makes people feel blood boiling just thinking about it.
Liu Tan stared at the sword that was handed to Liu Che with bright eyes.
Bu Fan carefully took the sword in his hand. Liu Tan only then remembered that when Liu Che chopped down just now, Bu Fan didn't move a hair from beginning to end.
Liu Tan glanced at Bu Fan with implicit respect: This is also a big boss who is hiding his abilities. At least his fighting ability must be quite high.
But think about it, how could someone who has been by Liu Che's side for so many years be bad?
This time, Liu Che did not use much force like last time, but just swiped it down normally.
He encountered a little resistance when he encountered the bronze sword, but when he increased the strength of his hand, the bronze sword broke instantly.
The sound of the sword tip falling to the ground made Liu Tan's heart skip a beat.
At this time, Liu Che could no longer conceal the joy on his face. He carefully observed the blade of his new sword and found that there was not even a single crack on it. Obviously, even the top-level bronze sword could not cause any damage to it.
The more Liu Che looked at it, the more satisfied he became: "Not bad, it is indeed sharp and unmatched."
Seeing that Liu Che did not look angry, Liu Tan could not help but puff out his chest with pride.
When Liu Che turned around, he saw his son looking very smug, his eyes shining as he looked at him, with an expression on his face that seemed to be unconsciously seeking praise and compliments.
He returned his sword to its scabbard and couldn't help but reach out and pinch his son's little face.
Liu Tan was stunned for a moment and looked at Liu Che with wide eyes.
He will be seventeen after the New Year. Even in later times, he is only one year away from adulthood, so he is an adult!
Why is your face being pinched again? Is it appropriate for you to do this, Liu Che?
