Liu Dun raised his head and looked at the behemoth in the sky in the distance, the huge ice dragon was lying across the sky, rolling up a huge whirlwind, blowing away the surrounding soldiers, and the green light descending from all around pulled the dead soldiers out of the dirt one by one and continued to fight.

A dragon is an army.

"That's what it was, we were in the middle of the snowy mountains, we saw it, we met this terrible creature."

Liu Dun looked at the dragon shadow in the sky blankly, looked deeply at the azure beautiful figure fighting with Ye Ziqing, and swallowed a mouthful of saliva with difficulty.

"It was in an instant that a huge storm erupted from that dragon's snort, lifting me away, but fortunately, Mu Hua grabbed my hand tightly."

The pupils of his eyes dilated violently, and his fingers trembled slightly, "I don't understand how I came across it there, and why did it attack us." Legend has it that the ice dragon of the Sword Kingdom is a creature with supreme divinity and intelligence, so my first thought at that time was not to run for my life......"

The corners of Liu Dun's mouth trembled slightly, the corners of his eyes drooped, revealing a painful look, "That was the biggest mistake I ever made in my life, because, I was so naïve-

Tried to talk to the dragon. "I thought that the dragon was just playing around with us, or that we were some enemy of the Sword Kingdom of Shujian, so I stepped forward and expressed our kindness to it until I saw the bloodshot hollowness and madness in its left eye."

Liu Dun lost his mind for a while, as if he had fallen into a nightmare, "That scene is even more terrifying than the boundless dream of the Heavenly Demon, there is a huge shadow hovering above my head, and then it is slapped to the ground by its claws, and I don't even feel any pain, only a vague sound from my ears in my brain-

Boom.

Before I passed out, I saw that Mu Hua was using his sword to resist the sharp claws like the mountain peaks above, but he still couldn't organize the sharp nails to buckle into my body. “

When Liu Dun said this, his eyes were painful and his face was pale.

Wei Gong, Jian Rin Sakura, and Li Shiluo all frowned tightly.

"When I woke up, Mu Hua's eyes looked at me, like looking at an alienated stranger, I was very scared, but I didn't understand what was happening."

Liu Dun clutched his slightly aching chest, recalling the scene at that time, and there was some emotion in his eyes, "Later, I thought that the legend was true, the ghost ice dragon of the Sword Kingdom can take people's souls and turn them into an empty shell, and they can also resurrect the dead and turn them into walking living corpses." When Mu Hua flew into the sky with the huge dragon shadow, I saw in her eyes, and as her soul withdrew, the feelings that had been in her eyes for me also disappeared together. ”

Liu Dun lowered his head, his face was as dead as ashes, "She has become a puppet of the dragon." The soul is also sealed in the dragon's eye forever. And I, a small swordsmith who lost his love, returned to the Dream Sword Country in disgrace, and began a twenty-year forging life under the hands of my rival. Am I not a puppet without a soul......"

Jian Rin Sakura opened her mouth, originally wanting to defend the word [rival in love], but when she saw Liu Dun's painful expression, she couldn't help but feel soft.

She reached out and softly and wordlessly took his body in her arms.

Emiya's eyes lit up.

"I'm sorry." Li Shiluo said softly, walked over, and hugged the old man's shoulder with Jian Rin Sakura.

At this moment, how much Wei Gong hoped that it was him who stood in Liu Dun's position.

"That dragon has lost its mind, and has become the most primitive, terrible creature that kills according to desire and instinct, and in order to take revenge, I have been thinking all the time for the past twenty years that I can one day forge an Excalibur and come back to slash it."

"Okay." Emiya nodded, "I finally get it." ”

No wonder he's so persistent.

But he squinted at him, and he was afraid that he couldn't do that with that long-range sniper sword alone.

Twenty years, where has this swordsmith wasted his time?

However, speaking of long-range swords-

Wei Gong looked sideways at Li Shiluo, "Is there a sword-casting room in Yunlong Pass?" ”

"Huh?!" Li Shiluo's eyes widened in disbelief.

……

As the first line of defense on the Shutian border, Yunlong Pass has set up a large sword-casting room in order to repair armaments and replenish weapons in time, where a row of anvils is neatly placed, and a huge furnace is erected against the wall, and all kinds of casting equipment are readily available.

In addition, there are a lot of materials stacked in the material warehouse next door.

Even if it is not enough, there is still a sword-casting shop opened for merchants in Yunlong Pass, and the boss and apprentice in it have just been transferred away because of the emergency withdrawal order of the Sword Kingdom, and they have not even had time to clean up the materials inside.

Wei Gong searched for a while, and basically found all the materials he needed.

In his conception, the sword that needed to be built did not seem to use many expensive materials.

"Is there any mistake? Are you forging a sword now? Li Shiluo's voice was extremely clear in the sword casting room.

Together with Liu Dun, who was standing behind him, he didn't understand him very well.

Emiya methodically threw some materials into the furnace -

Red copper ingots, yin-yang stone, cloud steel, flaminite, ice crystals......

He didn't answer her, not even to turn to look at her.

"Help."

Li Shiluo was slightly stunned, and quickly turned to the furnace.

"What do you need me to do?"

"Let's let the dragon puppets below be freed first." As he spoke, Emiya mobilized his spiritual power and urged the fire in the furnace to be extremely violent.

His brain mobilized the swordsmith system, "The flame color in the furnace is maintained in blue and purple, melt these materials together, and after about ten minutes, it will cool down to orange flames, and I will tell you what to continue to add." ”

Li Shiluo nodded, and there were ripples in his eyes as he looked at Wei Gong.

This swordsmith, it seems, in an instant, became-

Particularly...... Larger than life.

Just like when he was in Xuanyun City, he faced Ye Ziqing's doubts and faced the thousands of spectators present, showing extraordinary courage, similar to but opposite to the right hand of God, the king of swordsmiths.

Li Shiluo smiled slightly, mobilized the spiritual power in his body, and urged the flames in the furnace to move.

After speaking, Emiya walked to the other side and continued to open the iron door of the other furnace.

"It's the same here, Master Liu Dun, you first smelt a furnace according to the recipe of the remote sword at that time, and after you smelt it, leave the rest to me."

After Wei Gong finished speaking, he walked to the material room next door and continued to look through what he thought was needed.

In the empty sword-forging room, only Li Shiluo and Liu Dun, who were at a loss, were left.
