411,
The newly released sword has just passed the threshold of the highest level.
But I haven’t gone too far,
Hence it is called the ‘little supreme being’.
The 'Onikiri' that Watanabe Tsuna once used to cut off an arm of 'Rashomon's Trick' is a supreme sword. Even though this sword is inferior to the 'Onikiri', it has already successfully completed Genji's mission. A mission assigned to the Sword Forge.
at first,
An Gang's expectation for this knife is just "the best".
It's more than the best, it's exceeded his expectations!
The nine major mineral veins produce many killing stones every year. Even though only a few of them are of extremely high quality like 'human stones', the number accumulated over the years is still astonishing.
However, even with such an astonishingly high-quality human stone pile,
So far, there are no more than ten ‘supreme level’ swords in Dongliu Island!
The sword An Gang forged is enough to be listed among the famous swords in the world. It is foreseeable that the sword-forging place will become famous in all countries!
Hearing Su Wu's answer, An Gang's face flashed with excitement, and he immediately stepped forward, squeezing in front of Hu Che, took the supreme sword from Su Wu's hand, and examined it carefully.
Even if it is a sword he forged with his own hands,
Looking at the knife now, he still felt an indescribable sense of freshness!
Su Wu looked at An Gang and Hu Che who were competing to appreciate the supreme sword, and smiled without saying much.
There was new confusion in his mind.
This sword cast by Master An Gang can be evaluated as 'supreme' in all aspects, but for some reason, it gave Su Wu the feeling that the power of this sword has not yet been fully explored.
This is completely different from the feeling that the 'Da Honglian Fei Zang' gave Su Wu.
Such confusion,
Su Wu couldn't help but think of the fact that Master Kira once 'popularised' some common sense about killing stones for him.
Could it be said that the ‘Great Red Lotus Embryo Treasure’ that he possesses is so suitable for him that when he wakes up from his slumber, it is the ‘awakening killing stone sword’. And now this newly released supreme sword,
Because I haven’t met my true master yet,
So it's still in a deep sleep state,
It’s the ‘Sleeping Killing Stone Sword’, so it gives me the feeling that its power has not been fully explored?
That makes sense.
So,
Which one is stronger, the awakened supreme superior or the sleeping supreme superior?
Not long after,
Kotetsu found the materials and tools for assembling the scabbard, handle, etc., and assembled the handle, sheath, and tangs of Su Wu's 'semi-extreme' level sword on the spot in the sword-making room.
Therefore, the knife will emit light like lightning in the dark night,
It was named ‘Thunder Pond’.
The suffix of the inscription on the sword is 'Zhuzhao An Gang'.
As for the supreme sword that the three of them worked together to forge,
None of the three have the right to name.
And the name of a craftsman can only be embossed on the end of the knife inscription. After discussion, Hu Che and Su Wu decided to use An Gang's name as the suffix on the knife this time.
"Brother Huche, Lord Zhuzhao,
Thank you so much! "An Gang bowed seriously to the two of them, his excitement beyond words.
Every supreme sword will shine in a historical period, and even trigger changes in a period of history!
You can see what an honor it would be if you left your name on it.
Being able to leave a name on a supreme sword,
History will also remember this craftsman!
Now, the two gave this opportunity to An Gang alone!
The semi-superior Lei Chi was owned by Su Wu and was not publicly tested in the sword-making workshop.
The supreme sword is the result of the hard work of all craftsmen.
They have the right to watch the trial beheading.
therefore,
The supreme tachi conducted a public test cut in the yard of the sword foundry, which attracted cheers from all the craftsmen. After this mission, Yasutuna Sword Forge will be able to connect with Kyoto Genji.
Backed by this wealthy public family that is on par with the 'Ping family',
The sword-making institute will receive a massive amount of resources both overtly and covertly!
Even if the Inoue family actually controls the Boqi Kingdom, they must show courtesy to the sword makers in the future!
An Gang asked his apprentice to go to the Onmyoji stationed in Boqi Kingdom and ask him to pass the news of the "forged sword" back to Genji. The craftsmen had to rush back to Kyoto to send the news, or deliver the news through the inn.
However, giving the information to Onmyoji,
Then they can send out 'paper cranes' and 'messengers', and the news can be delivered to Genji in Kyoto in a few hours.
The Onmyoji chosen for the sword-making was also a good person whom Genji had told him he could entrust with information.
The sword-forging place became very busy.
Su Wu, who had not returned home all night, took advantage of this time to say hello to An Gang and Kotetsu, and then went back to the Inoue family's manor to rest.
…
There are many samurai patrolling the Inoue family manor.
The warriors Su Wu met along the way stopped to salute him respectfully.
When we almost reached the gate of the manor,
He saw Da Mu guarding the door, stretched his neck and looked forward. When he saw Su Wu's figure, his face suddenly lit up with joy, and he waved and said, "Abu, you didn't come back last night!"
"yes,
Didn’t I send someone to send news back to the manor?
I had a temporary assignment last night.
Need help forging a sword. "Su Wu approached Damu and answered casually.
Damu followed him and went to the manor with him. Hearing the sound, he nodded repeatedly and said: "That's what I said, but staying at home at night always makes people feel a little uneasy!
alright! "
The leader of the household servants, Omu, turned to look at Su Wu and said with a smile: "Now that you are back, Miss Haruko should be relieved. I'm going to report the news to her!"
After saying that, he ran away in a hurry.
Seeing his anxious look, Su Wu shook his head, smiled, and turned back to his home.
He took off the three knives from his waist.
The ceremonial sword is ‘Inoue Candlelight’.
The ultimate ‘big red lotus womb treasure’.
Halfway up the ‘Thunder Pond’.
He picked up the Lei Chi and tried it many times, and finally determined that this knife did not have the ability to cut Li Jui, but this knife could split Jui Yun, making it difficult for Jui Yun to get close.
It's almost as effective as the 'Fire-Refined Gold-Tricked Staff'.
The knife was of no use to him.
He had already given the 'Fire-Refined Gold Claw Staff' to Zhu'er, and Su Wu was not prepared to keep this sword with him.
I'm thinking about it in my mind,
There was a knock on the door,
The timid voice of the maid came from outside the door: "My dear, Miss Haruko, please have breakfast with me."
Su Wu was stunned when he heard this.
He had already made it clear to Haruko that he would delegate power, and he would now be immersed in improving his sword forging skills and digging into the Jade Mountain killing stone veins. Why did she still seem worried about him?
Su Wu thought of Haruko with tears dripping from the corners of her eyes during the ceremony. She looked like an abandoned puppy.
His brows furrowed and unclenched,
The maid outside the door said, "Okay, I understand, I'll go over there."
"yes……"
The maid's footsteps sounded from near to far.
Su Wu's eyes lingered on the three knives for a while.
The great red lotus womb and the ceremonial sword were swallowed up by the shadows,
He grabbed the 'Lei Chi' on the case, got up and left the residence.
…
Side hall.
The light gauze in front of the hall is fluttering in the wind,
The maid stood quietly in the corridor.
Inside several soy sauce-colored doors covered with white window paper, the wooden floors are smooth and shiny.
One by one, candles lit up in the slightly dim side hall.
On a tatami by the window,
A long low table was set up.
There were some pickles, boiled fish, pickled venison shanks, rabbit meat, and a small amount of vegetables on the low table.
"How's it going? Is it delicious?"
There seemed to be water floating in the girl's eyes, which looked transparent and light. In a waxy voice, she asked Su Wu, who was eating rabbit meat,
Instead, Su Wu's expression froze.
Stop the chopsticks,
He looked at her somewhat unaccustomedly: "Miss Haruko, are you sick?"
"ah?
No..." Haruko shook her head and continued to look at him expectantly, "Is the roasted rabbit delicious? "
"Too much salt,
too salty.
But whatever you eat is just to fill your stomach, as long as you can eat it. Hearing this, Su Wu took another piece of rabbit meat with chopsticks. After tasting it, he gave his own evaluation. At the end, he also reminded Qingzi, "The principle of being a gentleman is not to anger others at will and to treat those who are weaker than yourself."
So don't punish the maid in the kitchen who made this dish because of my review. "
"Abu-kun is right." Qingzi nodded, her face turning red strangely.
——This dish was not made by the kitchen maid,
It was completely made by her own hands.
Su Wu continued to eat his food.
Qingzi watched Su Wu immersed in eating, and suddenly felt that this was very satisfying, so she gave up the idea of talking to the person opposite.
Now Su Wu has completely returned the power of housekeeping to Qingzi,
In order to prevent this sensitive girl from becoming frightened again because of his involvement in the affairs of the Inoue family,
Therefore, from beginning to end of the meal, he did not ask the other party whether anything happened to the Inoue family since he was not at the manor yesterday.
If there are some difficult situations that Haruko cannot handle,
Wait for the other party to take the initiative to inform you,
It’s not too late to deal with it.
The two of them finished their breakfast in tacit silence.
All the food on the table was swept away by Su Wu.
Qingzi didn't eat much, but she still felt extremely satisfied, especially when she saw Su Wu finish the plate of rabbit meat.
She watched Su Wu straighten his back, and the sunlight cast from behind him reflected his shadow.
The shadow covered her body, making her feel extremely comfortable.
At this moment,
Su Wu took off the half-pole knife from his waist.
It was placed on the table where the plates had been removed and wiped clean.
"Miss Haruko,
Later, he learned swordsmanship from Nobuo Takeda and used this sword as a portable sword. "
"Thunder Pond?"
Haruko muttered,
He picked up the knife on the bill with great interest,
Hold the handle of the knife with one hand and gently draw the blade——
The bright sword light was like thunder and lightning, so that she didn't dare to open her eyes for a long time!
She has a family background, so she can naturally see how extraordinary this knife is.
Holding the knife tightly in his palm,
His eyes were full of reluctance, but he still pushed the knife towards Su Wu: "This knife... has surpassed the top grade and is too precious. Does Abu really want to give it to me?"
"Miss Qingzi can give the secret key of Jade Mountain as a gift.
It is only natural that I give Miss Haruko a semi-high sword in return. "
Hearing his words,
Haruko instead put down the knife,
Sit upright,
The little face looked at Su Wu seriously: "This means that we have nothing to do with each other, and we can have nothing to do with each other, right?"
"?" Su Wu frowned and looked at Qingzi, not knowing why she made such a statement?
Seeing that he was silent, Qingzi's expression became even more gloomy, and the water in her eyes turned into tears. She lowered her head and whispered softly: "In the past two days, Mr. Abu first invited someone to teach me.
Give me the power to restrain the warriors,
I didn’t even return home last night.
Now you are giving me such a precious sword in return, is it to gradually distance yourself from the Inoue family and me?
Mr. Abu, why is this? "
Su Wu opened his mouth,
It took a long time before he spoke in this suffocating silence: "Miss Haruko, I think you may have misunderstood. If nothing else, I still need the help of the Inoue family even to mine the ore from Yuse Mountain.
How to talk about separation from the Inoue family?
You really misunderstood. "
