126 Celsus in the Stone (Sunday's 3rd Shift)

What can a big man do when he closes the doors and windows and hides in his room?

Duanmu has been learning forging with Sato Shizhen for two years, so he naturally knows Sato Shizhen very well, and he knows that Sato Shizhen is a very clean person. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

Sato's nobility is reflected in the fact that he never does a particular sport.

That's the one that single men like to do, especially the exercise that wastes paper.

Since Sato Shizhen is not hiding from doing a special exercise, then why should he close the doors and windows? On a hot summer night, even if he sleeps with the doors and windows open, he will wake up several times in the middle of the night, and if Duanmu closes the doors and windows to sleep like Sato Shizhen, he is afraid that he will be stuffy until he can't sleep all night.

Duanmu also didn't believe that Sato Tokizhen closed the doors and windows to sleep, and his intuition told him that there must be some secret hidden here, maybe this secret was the secret of blacksmithing.

Hearing this, Fu Zhu smiled dumbly, closed the door and studied the secret of the forging technique, what kind of ghost forging technique can be studied in the room.

Duanmu smiled bitterly, "Back then, I was probably obsessed with ghosts, and I actually believed in my own inference, so that day, I secretly opened a small hole in the wall, ready to see what Shi Zhen was doing in the room at night." ”

However, he was disappointed by the facts, although Sato Tokisada did not sleep, he did not study any blacksmithing, he just sat on the edge of the bed, holding a stone in his hand, and chattered about the stone, as if he was talking to the stone.

He behaved like a psychopath.

For this result, Duanmu was very disappointed, his disappointment came from two aspects, on the one hand, he was disappointed in Sato Shizhen's 'secret', but he didn't expect Sato Shizhen, who was known as the 'wizard of the forging world', to be a neurotic, a neurotic who likes to talk to himself at the stone at night!

On the other hand, he was very disappointed in himself, and he became suspicious of this friend who was also a teacher and friend.

The normal story goes on here.,It should be over.,Sato Shizhen's secret is that he is a neurotic who likes to talk to himself about stones.,And Duanmu,It's to keep this secret in his heart.,Continue to learn forging with Sato Shizhen.,In the near future,His forging skills can break through.,And then as Sato Shizhen's junior brother.,Famous in the forging world.。

But things didn't go that way.

After Duanmu found out that Sato Shizhen was a 'neurotic', he began to pity Sato Shizhen and wanted to help Sato Shizhen cure the disease.

And the easiest way to cure this disease is to make him lose the person he is talking to, that is, to lose the 'stone friend' that Sato cherishes as a treasure.

So he began to look for an opportunity to lose the broken stone.

Finally, one afternoon, when Duanmu and Sato Tokizhen went out, Sato Tokizhen was walking carelessly and tripped over the roots of a tree on the ground.

The thing in his arms fell to the ground, and among the things in this place, there was the stone that Sato Shizhen regarded as a friend and kept babbling to it every night.

Duanmu was quick, and before Sato Shizhen could react, he grabbed the stone first, and the next action was to throw the stone out of his hand with force.

However, when he took it in his hand and made a gesture to throw, a voice suddenly sounded.

"yooooooo~ new face, isn't this Xiaozhen's friend, why did I get into your hands?"

I... In your hands?

Hearing this inexplicable sentence, Duanmu couldn't help but be stunned.

Just when Duanmu was stunned, Sato Shizhen hurriedly snatched the stone back from his hand, Duanmu, who was stunned, didn't react at all, and directly asked Sato Shizhen to snatch the stone back.

"Just... Is that the stone talking?" Duanmu's voice trembled slightly.

Sato Shizhen sighed, and the stone that had been put away was also taken out by him, "Since you have heard this thing talking, there is no need to hide it..."

"yooo~Xiaozhen, are you finally going to introduce me to your good friend?It's an honor~"

The brisk voice sounded in Duanmu's ears again, and Duanmu looked at Sato Shizhen with some horror.

In this regard, Sato Shizhen's expression was indifferent and did not explain anything, but the stone in his hand began to introduce himself in a wordy manner.

The stone claimed to be a guy named Celsus, who according to him died during his travels, and had no choice but to lock his soul in the stone before dying.

"I accidentally died..."After Duanmu listened to the stone's introduction, the corners of his mouth twitched, "Have you died more than once?"

"I've died at least thirty times. The stone's voice was brisk, and it seemed that he didn't take death to heart at all, "It's just that the body is dead and not the soul is dead, this time the death is too sudden, and I don't prepare the extra body, otherwise I would not have stayed in this broken stone." ”

"Don't take his word for it, this guy doesn't have a word of truth in his mouth. Sato Tokisada took out a very small hammer and struck it on the stone, but when he knocked it lightly, the stone actually made a crying sound, as if this blow was an unbearable pain of life.

"This stone was given to a guest when forging weapons before. Sato Tokisada said in a flat tone, "They say that this stone is sealed with an evil spirit with a clever tongue, and they always change their tricks to coax people to do strange things, and they say that this stone should be used as a forging material." ”

"But I didn't use it in the end because I was convinced by him. ”

"Convincing?" Duanmu was a little puzzled.

"Because he knows a lot. Sato Tokisada put away the small hammer and sat on the ground, "But I understand that there are some very strange things that are not from this world, and they seem to be things from their demon world." ”

"Xiaozhen, I'm very angry to warn you, I'm not a demon, my world is not a demon world, the world I come from is the world of science!" The guy who called himself Celsus sounded very annoyed, "Science, science, do you understand? I don't understand what I teach you, science is science, science is knowledge, knowledge is power..."

"You see, that's it. Sato Tokisada, somewhat helplessly, knocked the stone with a small hammer a few times again, and a painful wail came from the stone again, "All in all, no matter what this guy says, just listen to the story." ”

"Xiaozhen, I don't like to listen to what you say, what is it to listen to the story, I am kind enough to teach knowledge and teach you strength, you don't want to forget it, and refute it every day... Ahhhh Ahh

In this way, Duanmu also became a member of the group who spoke to the stone, just like Sato Tokizhen, but unlike Sato Tokizhen's attitude towards the stone, he felt that the guy named Celsus, what he said, should be true.

For example, one day he told the two of them, a certain knowledge called alchemy, Sato Shizhen didn't pay attention to it at all, but Duanmu took it to heart, and soon, he used this thing called alchemy in forging.

He remodeled the 'Nikko', which was newly forged by Tokitada Sato and was about to be sent to the Daimyo of the Land of Fire, so that this high-quality famous sword had two more characteristics: 'Nikko' and 'Transformation'.

Sato Tokizhen saw everything Duanmu had done, but he didn't say anything, just asked Duanmu to send this 'daylight' to the Daimyo of the Fire Country.

At that time, Duanmu thought that Sato Shizhen had acquiesced to his learning alchemy and used alchemy for new forging, so he began to learn alchemy from Celsus, who also responded to Duanmu's needs and taught all kinds of alchemy knowledge to Duanmu.
