Similar to the Orphanage, the owner behind this Orn's Blacksmith Shop was also Daenerys. And the master blacksmith in charge of this blacksmith shop, Orn, was an outstanding blacksmith whom Daenerys had hired with a hefty sum from Kohor, possessing the skill to reforge valyrian steel swords.
Although the facade of this blacksmith shop was very ordinary, the courtyard behind it occupied a vast area, extending directly from the foot of Visenya's Hill to halfway up the mountain.
The reason Daenerys bought such a large piece of land was, firstly, because there was a mountain spring flowing down from Visenya's Hill halfway up the mountain. Although the flow of this spring was very small, it was sweet. However, the spring water had not flowed far before it had all seeped into the mountain, so it had never been discovered.
It was only by chance that a blacksmith apprentice discovered it after Orn's Blacksmith Shop was established, so Daenerys used her connections to buy the entire surrounding area.
Therefore, from then on, not only did the Red Keep have a supply of sweet spring water, but the blacksmith shop also had high-quality condensed water. Moreover, the spacious backyard of the blacksmith shop also made it convenient for dragons like Dreamfire to land and take off there.
Master Orn was also a man with aspirations, dedicating his life to re-developing the technique for forging Valyrian steel. Daenerys had people use this point to lure him to King's Landing.
So, a large forge was built in the backyard, specifically to facilitate dragons in helping to smelt steel.
Daenerys naturally knew how to forge Valyrian steel, but there were no dragon corpses, and she still couldn't accept sacrificing innocent living people with blood magic.
So, during this time, she and Master Orn discussed a new method, which was to melt the "sweet widow" and then fuse it into his alloy to see if more Valyrian steel could be forged.
For this, Daenerys even asked King Jaehaerys for a dragon skeleton.
However, after repeated efforts, only two semi-finished blades and some scraps were produced. But Daenerys knew that with just one more blood sacrifice ritual, these two valyrian steel swords could be completely formed.
She had also thought of using the death row prisoners held in the Red Keep for the blood sacrifice, but she had never been able to make up her mind.
However, the indifference of the people of King's Landing towards her today, and the ruthless assassination attempts by these Faceless Men, finally made Daenerys kill the self who had grown up under the red flag within her heart.
When the blacksmith apprentices presented the items searched from the Faceless Men, her sworn knight Harold also arrived with the Red Keep guards.
"Greetings, Princess Daenerys, Harold failed in his duty to protect, please punish the Princess!"
Harold immediately knelt down, his face full of remorse.
Daenerys waved her hand, telling him to get up, and at the same time asked,
"There were no disturbances at the charity site, right? Are Margaery and Laila alright?"
"They are all well, your subordinate has escorted them back to the Red Keep."
Harold was terrified today; originally, the crowd disturbance in the Great Sept Square hadn't affected the charity site too much. But a child had delivered a message to him saying that Princess Daenerys had been assassinated, which almost scared the soul out of him.
So he quickly took Margaery and the others back to the castle, as for the food and cloth, they were left directly at the scene and were eventually plundered by the people of Flea Bottom.
"Harold, you are to immediately bring ten death row prisoners from the Red Keep dungeon. If Great-grandfather asks, tell him 'the steel sword is forged,' and he will naturally know what happened."
"Yes, your subordinate understands."
After Harold left, Daenerys carefully examined the items found on the Faceless Men.
These Faceless Men were quite poor; apart from some unknown poisons, the four of them together only had one bag of silver coins and a pile of copper stars. This was probably earned by the Faceless Man who disguised himself as a sweet water seller after arriving in King's Landing.
However, they carried quite a few human skin masks, twenty or thirty of them, and all these human skin masks were surging with rich magical fluctuations.
"Hmph! So this is the secret of the Faceless Men!"
Harold was very efficient, bringing the ten death row prisoners in less than half an hour.
At this time, several naked Faceless Men had also woken up, including the one who was only half-bodied.
"Bring that half-bodied Faceless Man to the forging platform."
Since everything was ready, Daenerys was not going to delay any longer. At this time, although the Faceless Man who only had half a body left had woken up, he was already on his last breath.
And his whole body was bound by heavy chains, making him unable to move at all.
Daenerys walked up to him, took out the dragonbone Valyrian dagger "Firefall" in her hand, and while chanting a spell, she cut his face.
"Blood Fire Source... Firefall Flowing Goblet!"
The spell was short, but as it ended, the "Firefall" dagger suddenly glowed with a faint blood-red light. At this point, the wound on the Faceless Man's face quickly showed signs of decay and began to bleed continuously.
"This dagger is called Firefall. Do you know what its terrifying aspect is?"
At this moment, Daenerys's voice was dark and cold,
"It is that wounds injured by Firefall will never heal and will bleed incessantly!"
"Of course, the most terrifying thing is not this!"
"I know the god you Faceless Men worship makes you believe that death is a release. But souls that fall by Firefall will be forever sealed within the Firefall dagger, enduring endless torment!"
"The more people she kills, the more terrifying her power will become. Because that is the desperate wails and curses of countless souls!"
"So..."
Daenerys paused, then looked at the other three Faceless Men who now showed a hint of fear,
"Under Firefall, your revered faceless god cannot save you!"
At this moment, Daenerys's heart was filled with resentment and anger, coupled with the fact that she was already a decent magic practitioner.
After her words, the blacksmith apprentices were already trembling with fear. Even the knowledgeable Master Orn unconsciously lowered his head.
The three Faceless Men, having undergone rigorous training, performed well, but fear had already arisen in their hearts.
"Master Orn, let us complete the forging of the two valyrian steel swords!"
"Yes!"
Hearing this, Master Orn immediately became energized, after all, as blacksmiths from Kohor, blood magic and such were already commonplace for them.
Daenerys summoned Dreamfire, Aposos, and Simoros. After more than ten days of unremitting effort, Daenerys was finally able to command Aposos and Simoros.
As Daenerys chanted, the flames in the forging furnace suddenly became somewhat mystical. By the time she finished chanting for the third time, the semi-finished valyrian steel swords seemed to resonate in some way.
Master Orn immediately noticed this, so he unhesitatingly ordered his apprentices to push the ten death row prisoners into the forging furnace.
