Chapter 32: Yu Hui
Yu Hui rode a horse and walked on the Imperial Capital Avenue without hurrying, this is the no-man's land of Changxia, this is the end of a branch of the King's Road, and if you walk for another day, you may have to take a deserted road that has never been developed.
It has been three consecutive days without seeing anyone inhabited, the Imperial Capital Avenue winds for more than 16,000 miles in the long summer, from the East China Sea in the east, to the desert in the west, there are many branches along the road, some have not even been named, as the traffic artery of the whole Changxia, the repair of the Imperial Capital Avenue has never been interrupted, condensed with countless blood and sweat.
In addition to carrying Yu Hui, the horse also carried two packages that looked very heavy. It was filled with food and water, and as for the weapon, it was only a long sword behind the Iron Soul Master's back.
This longsword is not the famous Soul Blade, the only Iron Soul Master who is said to be able to craft a Soul Blade has never created a Soul Blade for himself. Even the iron sword behind it was only the most ordinary long sword that was bought for dozens of copper plates.
Yu Hui spread out the map, trying to identify his location. In fact, he never deliberately cared about his position, as long as he looked up, he could see the broom star hanging in front of him, Yu Hui just had to follow the broom star that shone day and night.
It's easy to say, but it's not easy. From the imperial capital to here, Yu Hui has changed no less than ten horses. In the beginning, you can still buy better horses around the imperial capital, but as you get farther and farther away from the imperial capital, it becomes more and more difficult to find good horses. On the last part of the road, Yu Hui had to rely on this aging horse to get around.
Yu Hui knew that the horse under his crotch would definitely die, and it was only a matter of time. I always have to have a long way to go, and when the time comes, I will not only have to rely on my legs to chase the death star that I don't know if it will fall in Changxia, but also the rations that are right now, if Yu Hui carries it himself, he may only be able to carry half of it, or even less.
Yu Hui finally confirmed his location. According to his estimates, the broomstick star should have fallen into a no-man's land in the desert, but as it got closer and closer, Yu Hui found himself walking on the border between the desert and the plateau, with the desert on the left and the endless mountains on the right.
Yu Hui never urged the colt under his crotch, and the pony walked a few steps and ate a mouthful of grass with peace of mind. For it, the previous owner could only feed it some unpalatable hay, and when Yu Hui arrived here, it could be regarded as tasting the real fresh grass. If it weren't for Yu Hui's clear purpose, Yu Hui might also be in the mood to hum a pastoral song to reflect the current scenery.
What's inside the broomstick? As a blacksmith, Yu Hui pursues this secret. He'd seen a lot of meteorite iron, but it was the burning residue of a meteor, and its density had made it even more difficult to forge. However, as long as it is burned at high temperatures, it can still be used as a good material for making weapons.
Just imagine, just the density of meteorite that burns for a short time can be so large, so if it burns in the sky for so long, how much should its density increase? Yu Hui thought of this, the blood on his body showed signs of burning, as a blacksmith, the ultimate pursuit should be a forging material that he had never seen before, right?
Moreover, Yu Hui had a hunch that this broom star contained even more terrifying secrets, no matter what it was, it would definitely be related to the survival of the entire Changxia.
"After the death of the prince, Kora didn't know if she had become the empress. Yu Hui muttered to himself.
The Iron Soul Master always has to say a few words to himself every day. This is a lonely trip, and without this pastime, even Yu Hui would have gone crazy. A person who spends all day with steel will not even be able to sleep well if he suddenly quiets down.
Gently stroking the back of the horse, the horse snorted for Yu Hui as if in response. Without this horse, Yu Hui's journey would be really boring. There is at least one life now and then making some noises to make itself seem less lonely.
The sky is gradually darkening, because it is getting closer and closer to the broom star, so there is no particularly obvious definition between day and night, Yu Hui's own feelings are more casual, he sleeps for a while when he is tired, and he continues to rush when he wakes up, but he works hard for the horse, and he has to follow Yu Hui to work and rest like this.
Before he knew it, Yu Hui had already walked to the border of Changxia. According to historical records, Changxia is not a lonely maritime continent, it also has its own bordering places, but that kind of place has not been set foot in by Changxia people, for every Changxia people, they are just small birds trapped in a cage, the cage is big enough, they can live and work in peace. Even the Iron Soul Master had never been to the border of Changxia, and he didn't know what it was like here. The temperature had become very low, because it was the foot of the mountain, and whether it was the wind coming down or going up, it had to go ahead of Yu Hui and his horses. Yu Hui had no choice but to wrap his clothes tightly and light a fire for himself and his horse in the leeward with trembling hands.
Removing the weight hanging from the horse, Yu Hui gently stroked the back of the horse's neck, although his hands were all calloused because of the iron, but this was the best brush for the horse, if Yu Hui pushed harder, it would feel more comfortable.
Yu Hui closed his eyes, fortunately, there was a wind blowing up the mountain from the desert today, and he should be able to sleep well. Thinking so, the tired Yu Hui closed his eyes.
"Bang!!" the horse called uneasily, finally waking up the sleeping Yu Hui. Yu Hui hadn't recovered from his dream yet, rubbed his eyes, and wanted to ask what this old horse was for, not to let himself rest well.
But when he opened his eyes, he was immediately shocked.
The sky was already as bright as day, and the light of the broomstick star had never been brighter. It was as if the sky was burning, and the broom star exuded a blazing temperature, and Yu Hui felt that he was not too far nor too close to it, and he could already feel that temperature. The wind that raged in the past seemed to be intimidated by the broom star in the sky at this moment, and it didn't dare to disturb Yu Hui at all.
Yu Hui excitedly ran to the colt's side, untied the reins in a panic, and said, "Hard work, old brother." You've got to work hard, take me over there, it's very important to me. ”
As if he could understand Yu Hui's words, the pony swept away his fear, raised his front hooves, and ran towards the place where the broomstick star fell!
