The problem was, he really didn't want to experience that unbearable pain again.
Rayder couldn't help but complain about this ability in his heart, thinking that he wasn't a masochist, so why should he suffer this torment?
He felt that he had to find a way to solve this problem, after all, his body was not as tough as Ghidorah's and couldn't withstand such torture.
Moreover, Rayder also knew very well that he already had a powerful fighting force like Ghidorah by his side, so there was no need to force himself to endure unnecessary pain.
Therefore, after careful consideration, he finally gave up on that self-abusive idea.
If he couldn't find a good solution, Rayder decided to use Ghidorah's self-mutilating abilities as little as possible, so as not to bring himself more pain and harm.
However, after this painful lesson from the God of Drowning, Rayder deeply realized that relying solely on the protection of dragons was far from enough.
He realized that he must master some abilities that could truly be useful in battle, so that he could protect himself at critical moments.
So, Rayder began to examine his many abilities, trying to pick out one that caused the least harm to himself for in-depth study and mastery.
After much deliberation, he finally focused on Ice Magic, Storm Control, and Current Control.
These three abilities not only caused relatively little harm to the body but were also quite cool to use.
After all, how could Rayder, with the power of dragons, not develop into a stationary mage?
Thinking of the Cold God's astonishing Ice Magic skills, Rayder couldn't help but be captivated.
With a clear goal, Rayder immediately took action.
He even skipped sleep, impatiently heading out to find the craftsmen in Castle Black.
In the northeast corner of Castle Black, even though it was late at night, it was still brightly lit and bustling.
Many blacksmiths were working with great enthusiasm, processing the continuously transported large quantities of Dragonglass into various weapons.
With so much Dragonglass, there was no doubt that it must have been transported from Dragonstone.
Rayder carefully picked up the Dragonglass dagger and examined it closely.
Dragonglass, this mysterious and rare stone, is formed by volcanic lava rapidly cooling in an instant.
It has a unique cryptocrystalline structure, making its surface smooth as a mirror, but also meaning it is very fragile.
Although this dagger looked incredibly sharp, it actually had great limitations when used as a weapon.
Due to the brittleness of Dragonglass, it was likely to break if subjected to a significant lateral impact.
However, it was precisely this seemingly impractical characteristic that made Dragonglass a powerful weapon against Others.
Rayder knew that Dragonglass could kill Others not because of its sharpness, but because it contained a faint fire magic within.
This fire magic perfectly countered the Ice Magic within the ghouls, just like fire and water.
When Dragonglass came into contact with an Other, the fire magic would be activated, causing fatal damage to the Other.
His gaze swept over the mountain of Dragonglass, and he couldn't help but exclaim:
The Targaryen Family was clearly well-prepared!
One must know that in just over ten days, they were able to mine such a large quantity of Dragonglass from Dragonstone and transport it across half of Westeros to this distant The Great Wall.
Rayder recalled the plot in the original work, where by the time of Daenerys, Dragonglass was an extremely scarce resource when fighting the Army of Ghouls.
People searched everywhere and finally found some Dragonglass on Dragonstone, but the quantity was far less than what was seen now.
And now, the Dragonglass here was so abundant, it was simply unbelievable.
He estimated that by tomorrow, these Dragonglass weapons would be able to equip all the soldiers, with everyone having one.
This way, soldiers would have an extra layer of protection when facing Others, and their combat effectiveness would be greatly enhanced.
Rayder unhesitatingly threw the Dragonglass dagger back into the wooden barrel, then quickly walked to the nearest blacksmith's shop.
He forcefully knocked on the pillar next to the blacksmith's stand, the sound jarring in the noise.
The blacksmith was startled by the sudden sound; he hurriedly looked up and saw the young man, Rayder, standing by, a hint of confusion on his face.
Rayder didn't waste words and directly told the blacksmith, "I need you to forge some arrows and iron beads for me."
The blacksmith nodded, preparing to turn and get his tools, but Rayder immediately added:
"These arrows have special requirements: the shaft must have a spiral thread, and the arrowhead must be a flat, pointed tip, while the iron beads must be perfectly spherical."
Upon hearing this, the blacksmith's face showed difficulty.
He explained, "Duke Erlad has already issued an order requiring all of us to produce Dragonglass weapons as quickly as possible.
Forging such arrows with obvious special requirements now would delay several craftsmen for a long time."
Rayder, of course, understood the blacksmith's concerns, but he did not back down.
He took out a heavy pouch of gold dragons from his in arms, placed it on the blacksmith's stand, and then slowly opened the pouch, revealing at least a dozen shining gold coins inside.
Rayder looked at the blacksmith and calmly said, "I think this should be enough."
The blacksmith's eyes were immediately drawn to the pouch of gold coins; he widened his eyes, a greedy expression on his face.
He quickly picked up the cloth bag, clutched it tightly in his hand, and patted his chest, saying:
"Leave it to me, Doug, you can rest assured! I'll definitely have it done for you before dawn!"
Rayder's lips curved slightly upward, revealing a satisfied smile. He said, "I'll wait here.
Remember, every thread must be uniform, and every iron bead must be round."
Doug nodded repeatedly, assuring him, "Don't worry!" Then he turned and walked to the blacksmith's stand, busily beginning to forge the arrows Rayder had requested.
This blacksmith named Doug indeed had exquisite craftsmanship, which was admirable.
Before dawn broke, he had successfully forged a dozen arrows, and the threads on each arrow shaft were exceptionally uniform, perfectly meeting Rayder's requirements.
There was also a small bag full of iron beads, polished very smooth and round, each about the size of a pinky finger, just the right size.
Rayder was very satisfied with Doug's skill and naturally wasn't stingy, unhesitatingly giving him another bag of gold coins as payment.
Then, Rayder happily picked up the dozen arrows and the bag of iron beads, and turned to leave.
Doug, after receiving the gold coins, beamed with a satisfied smile. He enthusiastically saw Rayder off, waving continuously, and shouting loudly:
"If you ever need any special items forged in the future, just come find me!"
