"Very well, Ars. I'm going to talk about the flame ore that I studied."
"About the flame ore? He said it was made of Kuo Sword, but it was soft enough to be used as a weapon. What do you got?
"There's been a new discovery about the hardness of flame ores. It was in Ars' existing Kuo Sword. I wonder if the Kuo sword contains fewer impurities in the flame ore, Ars."
"Impurities? Did the flame ore from Fox Valley contain a lot of impurities?"
"Perhaps it is related to the fact that a nine-tailed fox once used the flame ore captured by the body as a material for the nine-tailed sword. Anyway, just mining the same flame ore material didn't make it useless as a weapon."
"I see. Maybe so. Then it's important to remove that impurity. Did you make it, Gran?
"Not yet. It seems to me that an extreme temperature difference is necessary to remove impurities in the feeling of having tried it beforehand. I'm going to do it now with my selfish man and Lord Ars."
"The temperature difference... Maybe we should burn it to the flame ore, Gran?
"That's right, Ars. The flame ore is heated at an ultra-high temperature by the flame blast furnace made by the Self-Help, and Ars cools it. Using the power of the ice sperm that only the current Fontana family can use."
"Are you telling me to make ice water?"
"That's right. Perhaps flame ore heated at very high temperatures evaporates in an instant in normal water. I want you to use the power of ice sperm to keep it cool."
"You're probably the only one who thinks about using the nobility's superior magic for that, Gran. Well, I understand what you're saying. Let's get started."
"Now, Ars, I want you to keep this water cool. Yes, the ice sperm remains in the water. In the meantime, I'm not going to burn you."
That said, Gran opens the small door attached to the blast furnace and fills it with magic stones.
Apparently from there, Magic Stones are connected to the inner Flame Ore, providing magic to the Flame Ore used in the Blast Furnace.
Normally, the fire will not gain momentum unless air is sent inside the furnace.
I remember the first time I ever built a furnace with Gran and had Kyle help me with the wipe.
However, the flame blast furnace Gran built this time does not seem to require a wipe.
Is it due to the characteristics of the flame ore, which reacts to magic and blows out a high heat flame?
I've been in front of a furnace that used to light fire, but it's obviously hotter than that.
I wonder how many times the inside of the blast furnace has become.
Then, put flame ore as a material to be quenched in the burning blast furnace.
Flame ore is heated in an ultra-high temperature state.
I was sweating and watching it, and something was melting out of the flame ore.
Looking sideways at Gran's face, he still stares firmly at the flame ore.
I suppose that the melted impurity was in the flame ore that was mined.
And after some time, Gran took out the flame ore.
And he stretched it on the golden floor with his favorite hammer.
The high sound echoes.
When I hit it to a certain extent, I put it back in the blast furnace and heat it up again and hit it again.
Such work was repeated several times.
Gran's movements were very sophisticated.
Looking at it just looks like you're just hitting it, but you're probably shaping it so that there's no unevenness.
And it seemed to be in the form of a sword.
It was finally in the form of a standard sword, and it was finally in the process of hardening.
Container with water placed next to the grand.
I've been cooling it with a blue, glowing, round ball of ice sperm that I've been calling in [Ice Spirit Summon].
Put a sword-shaped flame ore on it.
A large amount of steam rises in an instant.
So, I'm scared.
I put too much hot metal in the water.
In an instant, the water reached its boiling point and flew like a volcanic eruption.
But it didn't seem that way.
The power of ice sperm.
The ice sperm that was cooling the water kept the temperature of the water from rising sharply.
It was only for the first moment that the steam came out.
When the vapor disappeared into space, there was a flame ore that was cooled by cold water.
But there was something wrong with it.
An anomaly occurs in the flame ore.
The color of the metal in the form of the sword on the water was changing.
At first it was super hot, so the bright red metal like magma turned blue in cold water cooled by ice cream.
However, as soon as I think it has become blue, it immediately returns to red and then becomes blue again.
The color changes slowly settle down as you go and go over the red and blue so many times.
"Hey, Gran. You were expecting this?
"No, this is unexpected, Ars. I'm surprised. I'm surprised."
The color change stopped completely.
Gran pulls his sword out of the water.
There was a faint purple sword that shined brilliantly.
"Ars, would you like to try it? This new sword."
"I'm scared. I'm terrified because I have no idea what happened, Gran. But it sounds interesting."
That said, I will receive the sword by Gran's hand.
The metal was supposed to have been heated to ultra-high temperatures in the blast furnace a while ago, but now it has a unique feeling of sparkling metal.
It is shaped like a common Western sword that Grant has made so far, and it seems easy to get around.
Insert the pattern Gran had prepared into his new sword.
I kept it and moved it to the logs that I kept for the trial run.
Shake your sword at the logs.
The sharpness is better with the Holy Sword Gran Barca, but that will do.
However, the shortcoming of the softness of the flame ore, which was the original problem, had been eliminated.
There were no scratches on the sword body after the logs were cut, there was no distortion, and it seemed okay to cut logs many times.
I don't think this is enough to use flame ore as a weapon.
But that wasn't the only problem.
Perhaps the most important thing with this sword was when it passed through magic.
Normally speaking, it is a sword that uses flame ore, so I think that a flame sword will come out like a nine-tailed sword.
However, I had a hunch that this would not be the case after seeing the scene when it was quenched.
I wonder what will happen.
Probably throws magic through the new sword.
"Nah, what is this? Ice? You've become an ice sword...?
But to my surprise, it was ice that appeared from the sword.
The Ice Sword of the Fontana family.
A magical sword that stretches with an ice blade.
Just like that, the ice sword was stretching from the new sword.
But it was completely different from the Ice Sword.
"Oh, wow, Gran. When I cut the logs with an ice sword, the logs froze and then burned... What the hell is this?
"... apparently, if you slash it with an ice sword, it won't freeze and then burn, Lord Ars. This sword seems to have become a completely new magical sword with the characteristics of the Ice Spirit Sword and the characteristics of the Kuo Sword."
"A magical sword that combines the properties of ice and fire. It feels like an ice flame sword."
"Don't worry, Ars. What about the glacial sword Grand Ars, the sword made by the two of me and Lord Ars?"
"Hmm, it's embarrassing to say that my name is being used. Well, if Gran says it's good, let's do it."
Once the logs were cut by a new magic sword, the surface froze.
The whole logs were covered with ice.
And the next moment, the ice turned into flames.
I don't know the reason at all, but I think the ice itself has been transformed into flames.
Thus, I acquired a new magical sword, the Ice Flame Sword Grand Ares.
