Chapter 503 Mithril Sword
Mithril is as malleable as bronze and can be polished like glass.
Dwarves can forge it into a metal stronger than steel yet as light as goose feathers.
It is as beautiful as ordinary silver, but the luster of mithril does not fade with time.
Mithril! Everyone in the world will fight for its treasures. The dwarves love mithril even more than gold.
And these three elven swords perfectly meet all the characteristics of mithril, including sharpness (hardness), softness, lightness, and immortality.
The First Era is now 2941 of the Third Era, at least 6,000 years have passed, but this sword still looks like a new one.
Obviously, in this world, except for mithril, there is no other metal weapon that can be preserved in such a dark and humid place for such a long time without rusting at all.
The elven sword is also enchanted by elves from ancient times. The inscription on it probably means: Turgon, king of Gondolin, owns this sword, the enemy of Morgoth's army and the killer of Orcs.
Obviously, this is a weapon specifically designed to target Orcs and Morgoth.
Morgoth was the first demon king in the world of The Lord of the Rings. In the First Age, he fought against elves and humans with the intention of ruling the world.
Morgoth is the most powerful Ainur. At the beginning of his creation, he was given by Eru (the Creator God) part of the abilities of all the Valar. He was powerful enough to control and rule other Ainur.
The arrogance brought by his power caused Morgoth to fall and go to war with all the Valar in an attempt to rule the entire world.
If there must be a comparison, then in the Lord of the Rings trilogy, Sauron, the dark lord who terrifies the righteous side, is just one of Morgoth's followers.
It was only after Morgoth was defeated by the elves that he became the successor of the dark forces, inherited Morgoth's dark army, and gained the power to fight against the whole world.
Sauron is nothing compared to Morgoth, there is no comparison at all.
The runes on the enemy's sword have only two abilities, one is detection, and the other is specifically for dark forces.
Detect the dark army appearing within one kilometer of the sword, and shine with light to warn the owner.
The second is to target Morgoth's army, such as dragons, balrogs, orcs, and trolls, creatures with dark power in their bodies, causing more damage.
It can even intimidate orcs, making them untouchable by dark races such as orcs, preventing them from being taken away by the enemy, and in turn harming humans and elves.
After accepting everything about the nightmare, Xiao looked at the enchantments on the three weapons and couldn't help but feel a pity.
After all, this is a weapon made entirely of mithril, the eternal mithril.
But it was attached with such a low-level enchantment. It was really a waste of materials.
It was only when the resource-rich world first opened that people could be so luxurious and use mithril to forge weapons.
Compared with the Fairy Tail world, the magic in the Lord of the Rings world is really lagging behind. Not only does it require a long time to recite incantations, but without a staff, even the Maia demigod wizard cannot cast spells.
The power of the Lord of the Rings world is all in the hands of Valar (gods), Maia (wizards) and elves.
The Valar are the superior among the Ainur, and the subordinate is Maia.
The Valar and Maia are collectively called the Ainur, and they were both created by Eru Ilúvatar.
Although the extraordinary race has high physical strength, they don’t have much magic power.
The few creatures that sense intelligent magic only stay in the magic class, and are called sorcerers, sorcerers and other professions.
Magic is something that only a few advanced beings can master. It is an extremely high-end and classy thing.
But once something becomes high-end and something only a few people can own, it can no longer develop rapidly.
In order to prevent others from getting it, a few people will inevitably suppress it crazily and exploit the full value of the item itself.
Until a certain period of time, the war broke out, and these beings who mastered magic died on a large scale, which eventually led to the breakdown of magic and civilization began to regress.
Without a huge and thick base as a base, the magical power can only linger in the initial stage and cannot extend to higher levels.
It is also impossible to be like the Fairy Tail world, where tens of millions of people are constantly using and studying magic, and finally blooming into an extremely brilliant magical civilization.

After Xiao put the three elf swords into the cyber dimension to analyze the properties of mithril, he set fire to the troll's cave and started his journey again.
However, compared to before, Xiao had an elf sword in his hand. Xiao sat on the back of the spirit horse and kept writing on the sword with pen and ink.
Xiao is re-enchanting the elven sword: sharp, strong, flexible, cutting, indestructible.
These are the characteristics of mithril. As a mithril sword, Xiao only needs to bring out the characteristics of mithril. It is enough.
Simply as a melee weapon, Xiao felt there was no need to get a magic sword that released thunder and lightning.
Rather than giving the sword too many bells and whistles and magical powers to attack from a distance, why not just blast it with a cannon?
Is the gravitational wave spear not cracked enough?
Or is the atomic laser not burning enough?
If you have to use a sword and use magic with great effort, you are suffering from some serious illness, right?
Instead of making it look different, it would be better to simply build on the original foundation of the Mithril Sword.
The enchantment can infinitely amplify the characteristics of the mithril sword, and it becomes the best weapon.
In addition to amplifying the characteristics of Mithril itself, Xiao also gave the Mithril Sword the most core ability, which is the devouring power from the Black Sun Law.
The Mithril Sword can continuously enhance the sword enchantment and its own material by devouring souls and various energy and material transformation powers.
Therefore, as long as the Mithril Sword continues to kill, it can absorb souls and flesh and blood, and it can continue to become stronger and sharper.

Along the way, Xiao let the spirit horse lead him forward. When the pedestrians on the road saw Xiao, they immediately showed a respectful smile.
After all, his unique dress and the horned cattle and horses under his seat are quite recognizable.
At some point, Xiao's name has begun to spread in the Middle-earth Continent. Xiao is called the legendary wandering merchant who starves for nine meals for three days.
According to legend, there was a wandering merchant in Zhongzhou who liked to say "I haven't eaten for three days" as his catchphrase.
The wandering merchant wandered around Zhongzhou, buying and selling goods from all over Zhongzhou.
Of course, the wandering merchant was most famous for his powerful military force.
No matter whether it was wild beasts or monsters, whether it was bandits or orcs, they were all defeated by the wandering merchant.
