The more you go in the direction of the Book Sword Country, the worse the weather becomes.

The clouds were still relatively peaceful in the morning, but as the mountains became more dangerous as the days went on, and the turbulence in the sky became more intense.

As the group marched into the evening, it was snowing heavily, and according to the initial arrangement, they could only settle in one of the outposts on the middle peak.

It's a deserted and secluded place, with only a conspicuous black stone tower half-hidden in the snowy mountains.

The watchtower has a total of six square rooms, built against the mountain, scattered with each other to form a three-story structure, half of which is carved into the mountain, and the other half is made of black jade made of unknown materials.

After entering the room, Liu Dun easily lit the firewood in the fireplace.

After a while, the six rooms began to feel some warmth.

He found a handful of tin lakes in the corner of the house, filled them with snow water, and put them on the fire.

Emiya looked at the place quietly, and the room in the middle was the largest, which could accommodate about twenty or thirty people sitting on the ground.

There are no chairs, and there is a natural stone table in the middle.

There were no windows on all sides, only a chimney on the fireplace that led outside.

Half of the house is in the mountains, so the light inside the house is dim.

On the wall of the mountain, there were some wooden boxes with embedded walls, and Liu Dun found some cups and chopsticks in it, as well as old tablecloths.

On the other side, there are also several large chests with iron tools such as shovels, shovels, and hammers......

There are also lanterns for lighting at night.

Although it is simple, the facilities used are all available.

However, Wei Gong looked at Liu Dun suddenly, with a hint of doubt in his eyes.

How could Liu Dun, a bad old man, be so familiar?

"These are all built by the Heavenly Sword Kingdom more than a hundred years ago in order to assault the Book Sword Kingdom."

Before Wei Gong could speak, Liu Dun began to answer their doubts.

Emiya was taken aback slightly.

When did these guys become so observant?

"Originally, the Izumo Mountains were difficult and the weather was bad, so no one would want to pass through them, so the west from the Sky Snow Mountain was basically deserted. But it was precisely for this reason that the great general of the Heavenly Sword Kingdom chose to send troops from here at that time. ”

When Liu Dun said this, he raised his head and winked at them, "If you think that ordinary people dare not think about it, you can have an unexpected effect, that general is also a generation of heroes known as the god of soldiers, and the way of heaven is clear." ”

Emiya blinked and looked at him with a hint of suspicion.

Truth be told, this was the first time he had heard the name.

Judging by his surname, this man has at least some connection with the royal family.

Only Ye Ziqing next to him fell into deep thought with a strange face.

"Of course, the preparation process is also difficult, and even legend has it that in order to be able to smoothly lead to the Book Sword Country, they also dug a secret passage in the mountains to avoid wind and snow and transport supplies."

At this point, Liu Dun picked up the teapot on the stove and poured them a cup of hot water.

Cui Xiaoxiao held the wooden cup, only to feel that the whole person came to life.

She can't compare to these strong sword immortals, one by one, they can protect their bodies, and they can not be afraid of wind and snow.

She was a novice who had just started and couldn't even hold a sword, and now her small body only felt a little weak after experiencing the cold before.

Though...... Cui Xiaoxiao lowered her head, and all of them blushed and recalled that the Wei Palace held her tightly in her arms along the way, and used her shelter and spiritual power to protect her warm......

If it weren't for the fact that her body couldn't stand it, she would have liked to lie in his arms for a while......

Oh, okay, Cui Xiaoxiao, what are you thinking?

Her face turned crimson, and she quickly covered her face with her hands.

How can you be like a pervert like Emiya, fantasizing about such a thing every day?

Could it be......

Cui Xiaoxiao raised her eyes resentfully and looked at the palace.

Infected by this dead guy?

"A total of thirty years of brewing, in order to unify the twelve kingdoms, the preparation time of the Heavenly Sword Kingdom is even longer."

Liu Dun paused, recalling the senior who brought him here back then, and his heart moved slightly.

Thirty years have passed since that time.

I wonder if she's okay now?

"And then?" Sword Rin Sakura summoned him out of his memories.

Liu Dun had an expression of waking up from a big dream, and crossed his hands to his chest.

"It is said that at that time, these outposts were like a long dragon, spreading from the Firmament Snow Mountain to the southern end of the Ice Wing Mountains, somewhat similar to the aerial plank road in Xuanyun City.

”

"It's just that after the end of the war against the Book Sword Country, this passage lost its meaning, and at the same time, the cost of maintaining it was very huge, so the military department of the Heavenly Sword Kingdom gave up on it later."

Liu Dun raised his head, his eyes distant and misty.

"Later, due to the wind and snow buried, the wild beasts in the mountains walked and destroyed, causing most of the outposts to disappear or be buried, and now there is no trace. Only a few can stay for emergency relief and resettlement. ”

"Especially when famine strikes, or when war is in turmoil, some hunters or civilians will choose to hide in order to take refuge."

"Over time, it became a wilderness sanctuary, a place of hope for the desperate and the lost."

When Liu Dun said this, the picture of the senior lingering with him all night here appeared in his mind, and he fell into a blur again.

If he could do it all over again, he would definitely not hesitate to choose to live the same life as her here......

"Master Liu Dun ......"

A slight hint of anger appeared in Kenrin Sakura's eyes.

"I'm sorry, Your Majesty, I can't help but ...... for a while"

Liu Dun's face turned red, put his hand to his mouth and coughed, and continued, "So, for the sake of latecomers, there is an unwritten rule here, that is, after resting here, you must complete the materials in the house before leaving, such as daily necessities, firewood, ......."

"Hmm...... It's reasonable, and it's full of humanity and hope. ”

Kenrin Sakura nodded approvingly.

"So, before we leave tomorrow, we have to go back with some firewood, and at the same time clean up the house and leave it for those who come later."

When everyone heard his words, they all nodded.

After telling the history of the outpost, Liu Dun picked up the cup on the table, put it to his lips and took a sip.

With a look of satisfaction on his face, he moved on to the next topic.

"Did you know that, in addition to these, there are other very interesting and magical legends in the Izumo Mountains?"

Master Liu Dun blinked excitedly and mysteriously, and smiled strangely at the guard.

Wei Gong was slightly stunned.

Mom, why do you want to watch me alone?

Lao Tzu is not that ......

"What Master Liu Dun said should be ......?"

"There are two magical things that are known as the treasures that swordsmiths dream of." Liu Dun retracted his smile and explained seriously, "Heavenly Demon Heart and Ice Dragon Bone. ”

Hearing this, Wei Gong raised his head suddenly, and his eyes bloomed with an unprecedented light.

"You mean, there's a Heavenly Demon and an Ice Dragon here?"

He had gotten one before, and he used it when he used it to build the Dream Sword.

He still remembered the strange scene he saw when he was smelting the Heavenly Demon Heart-

In that strange ball of light, he seemed to see a girl with wings.

Like an angel.
