Mie Village.

What has survived in modern times is one of the few artisan villages.

It is built by the mountains and rivers, but it is not isolated from the world.

Opposite.

Its outer and medium weight is still a tourist attraction.

The city center is also less than an hour's drive away.

"In the early days, Mie Village was connected to Ichi, but the Ise side developed into an industrial hub, and the association separated it to protect the craftsmen."

Yan Hu introduced to everyone, "There are the most swordsmiths in Mie Village, but he is also a good at making other blades. ”

With the development of science and technology to the present, the number of people who make blades has decreased significantly, because the times have changed, and no one has played in the past.

The law also does not allow it.

Cold weapons, either for collection or for private play.

Especially handicraft cold weapons.

Most of today's swordsmiths treat them like works of art.

Speculation is carried out by businessmen, marked with the name of whom, and with the blessing of the famous background, it is sold at a sky-high price.

Circulated in small circles.

It is in the checkmate stage.

After all, modern steel, metallurgical processes, processing technologies and heat treatment are also much stronger than ancient ones.

The high-quality blades of the past are frighteningly fragile in the face of modern steel.

It is also better to be able to mass produce.

Of course.

This is not taking into account the case of legendary swords that are partly made of special steel, to ultra-ancient relics.

It's like an ancient civilization in the animation world that is lost or not in the record, full of black technology.

Li Xiang's world also has these things.

However, that is an extraneous circumstance and is generally not taken into account.

Drive to Mie Village.

There are many tourists.

In front of the low-rise house store, buy all kinds of handmade goods.

Eat and play, you name it.

As a well-known tourist city, even if the timing is not right, Nai Cheng will always be indispensable for all kinds of tourists.

What worries Li Xiang more is that there seems to be a huge jungle on the edge of Mie Village.

"Over there is the Ixian Nature Conservation Park, which is also the largest park on Sakurajima, with three small islands connected by the sea. You can play around for a while. ”

Yan Hu saw that he had been staring, so he said: "I remember that there are many kinds of elves inside, and there are many precious varieties that are rare outside, which is quite interesting." ”

Nature Conservation Park, naturally, will not be used to protect humans, but a league of rangers to protect all kinds of elves.

You can go in and get up close and personal with them.

But it's illegal to take out Poké Balls to subdue them.

Even if you're taking in a green caterpillar in it.

As long as it is an elf in a natural park, it is equivalent to hanging a "death-free gold medal" on his chest.

You can do whatever you want internally.

The car moved forward.

Drive past the part of Mie Village that is open to the public.

Come to a huge walled city on a hillside.

The first thing that catches your eye is the jagged sloped walls, made of stones of various sizes.

Above is the white wall, which envelops the entire walled city.

Through the car window, you can look up at the limestone-colored gabled roofs and looming wooden buildings in the walled city.

Li Xiang suddenly had the feeling that he was inspecting the game scene on the spot.

Especially when I saw the two young men wearing ancient samurai uniforms and swords at their waists, as well as the flying mantis beside them, and the bonfire used to light the fire.

A strong sense of déjà vu came to my face.

Everyone got out of the car.

Duan Tianxing was not by his side, even if he came out to travel, this master still showed the talent of an otaku and stayed in front of Yan Tianyin's spiritual position.

Speaking of which.

I haven't seen Yan Tianyin's wife in the past two days......

I heard that I moved in with my son.

Yan Hu stepped forward, but the other party didn't shout "Who is coming" or something like that.

Instead, he greeted Yan Hu with a smile.

The group went inside.

"Inside the walled city is the core area of Sanchong Village that is not open to the public - Neizhong, I hope you don't run around and take pictures, if you get lost, don't walk around, call me, meet someone and hand over business cards."

Yan Hu turned his head and handed each of them a business card of his own, just in case.

How to make it the same as a military stronghold.

Li Xiang took the business card, and he couldn't stop slandering in his heart.

But.

This situation is actually not uncommon in Zhuxia, such as the Fengwang Courtyard, the Dragon Temple and other places, all of which are not open to the public.

Inside the walled city.

It's not much different from the scenery outside, but there are obviously more locals dressed in strange costumes, and there are all kinds of elves.

It's as if you're in ancient times for a moment.

Well...... The satellite pot on the roof, the dense telephone poles, and the loudspeaker placed at the door are a little dramatic.

"Senior brother, do you think those clothes look good? Do you want my sister to wear it for you? ”

Qi Sunsun came to Li Xiang's side, looked at a woman wearing vibration sleeves, and whispered.

"Yes, yes, it's just that this senior sister is the other two senior sisters, or you, senior sister, I think it's necessary to figure it out."

Li Xiang rolled his eyes, such an obvious language trap would be fooled by a fool.

Qi Sunsun blinked innocently, "Aren't they all the same?" ”

"I'm too lazy to pay attention to you."

Li Xiang waved his hand.

Outsiders seem to be relatively rare in the inner walled city, which has attracted the attention of many people.

But when he saw Yan Hu, he turned his head back.

It's obvious.

Yan Hu has deep trust in their hearts.

The group walked towards their destination.

The target is the village chief's house.

It is also one of the most skilled households in Mie Village.

It's not close yet.

The sound of clanging was heard.

Li Xiang was unconsciously a little excited, after all, he was about to customize the first weapon that belonged to him.

However.

He had thought that the place where he forged knives would be very primitive, such as the steel in the anime and manga, and the high-tech products such as Poké Balls, all of which were made of earthen stoves and tongs.

I didn't expect that there are all kinds of modern tools such as lathes and furnaces here.

It has the feel of a modern metallurgical workshop.

Inside the workshop.

Many strong men were naked, or took out a hammer to beat the ingot, or took it to the air hammer to forge it.

Next to the stove, there are fire-attribute elves, including coal turtles, molten ant beasts, lava snails, etc.

From time to time, the blacksmiths would put their ingots in front of them and let them burn them.

Seems a little weird.

There is also a piece of white flowers sprinkled with "salt" on it.

"Why do you want to sprinkle salt on top of iron?"

Wang Dong was a little confused.

"What salt, that's borax! Remove impurities! Lu Chengfeng glared at Wang Dong.

Li wanted to focus on the air hammer.

In the past, the most laborious part of a blacksmith was in the process of beating.

Since the air hammer, the blacksmith doesn't know how much effort has been saved.

"Uncle Jin! People brought it to you! ”

Yan Hu shouted, "Where are the people? ”

"Stop shouting! Over here! ”

Inside the workshop, a short, tense white-bearded old man wearing thick gloves walked out and stared at the bull's eye.

Yan Hu turned around and introduced: "This is Uncle Jin, the father of the village chief of Mie Village, and one of the best craftsmen in Sakura Island!" ”

"Hey! What a craftsman! I'm just an old man who strikes iron! ”

Uncle Jin waved his hand, glanced at Li Xiang and the others, and suddenly opened his mouth and shouted, "Taro! Get out and receive guests! ”

"Here we go!"

The workshop is located.

A young man who was relatively cleanly dressed walked out, and his eyes lit up when he saw Yan Hu, "Sister Yan Hu!" You're here! ”

"It's been a long time since I've seen Taro, and the greeting guests have changed from your brother to you?"

Yan Hu asked.

"My brother went to school."

After Taro responded, he looked at everyone and smiled: "It's really hard for you to come from afar, please come with me." ”

He led everyone into a courtyard.

After a short introduction to yourself.

Li wanted to understand.

The old man's name just now was Nagayama Gold, and he inherited the blacksmith shop called Nagayama Workshop.

Strictly calculated, it has a history of four or five hundred years.

In the cold weapons world, it is also quite famous.

Outsiders call him Master Yongshan, and at its most exaggerated, a blade can be sold for hundreds of thousands.

Obviously, it is the brand of Nagayama that is sold.

It's just that in the year before last, Yongshan Jin had already sealed the furnace and no longer built any weapons himself.

According to his own words, he is too old, even with the assistance of modern industry, his physical strength cannot keep up.

The ones in the workshop were all his apprentices, who came to learn his craft.

Yongshan Gold also wants to pass on the plaque of Yongshan Workshop all the time.

However, his son is bent on developing Mie Village into a tourist village.

His eldest grandson loves to read.

Only the little grandson in front of him, Taro Nagayama, who is only eighteen years old, has a little interest in striking iron.

"Please."

Taro Nagayama's mother served tea.

"Thank you."

Li Xiang thanked him softly and took a sip slightly, the bitter tea had a steely smell.

Get down to business.

Although Nagayama Kim said that he was physically exhausted to the outside world, he actually saw very clearly what it was like just now.

Yan Hu planned to let him personally create seven exclusive blades for everyone.

"Sister Yan Hu, the people you brought, grandpa must be willing to build them, the problem is that the construction period is a bit tight, if all the knives are made temporarily, ......"

Taro Nagayama hesitated.

A good blade will definitely not work without more than half a month of fine grinding.

Even some good knives take months to accumulate.

Bai Qi said: "No, no, no, we don't all need knives. ”

They talked about their demands all over again.

"That's easy."

After Taro Nagayama knew that not all of them wanted swords, he was much more relaxed, and said, "Actually, there is an arsenal at home, and there are many blades made in the past......"

The implication is to take them there to see.

If you encounter something you want or like, just take it away.

Yan Hu was slightly stunned, "Huh? Into the armory? Didn't they all be allowed to enter before? ”

"It used to be before." Taro Nagayama got up, "Everyone, please come with me, to be honest, the inventory in the armory is much better than what Grandpa has made now......"

In his mouth, as Yongshan Jin got older, he seemed to have fallen into a certain bottleneck, and the blades he made became worse and worse, far worse than before.

The bridge is a little familiar, huh?
