Chapter Ninety-Nine: The Nameless Black Sword
Although there is a vocation of herb merchants, on their farms, they can only grow the Four Great Sacred Flowers. The world is based on the idea of making effective use of resources.
So, I have to ask where the flower seedlings of Zevria planted by Lin Yiyan in the flower tray came from
"The seeds that Yi Yan got will be left after they grow into these flower seedlings, right?" In response to Yugeo's question, Lin Yiyan nodded.
"Well, this is...... Last chance. The uncle of the spice merchant also said that the next purchase will not be until this autumn. β
Yes, it's not flowers that are sold, it's seeds. Zevria's seeds, when ground into powder, give off a vanilla-like flavor. Therefore, some spices were imported from the Western Empire to be used as snacks...... This was known last fall.
When he was a guard in Zakaria, the salary he received was basically not used, so Lin Yiyan used the money to buy everything he could from the spice merchants, but there was only a small bag of seeds in the inventory that did not turn into powder, and Lin Yiyan's challenge had to start with the germination of the seeds.
Lin Yiyan suddenly wanted to plant flowers for two reasons.
First, in order to understand the core mechanism of this world, this experiment Lin Yiyan named it Imagine System.
Zevria will not sprout in the land of Nolan Gals, the merchant said to Lin Yiyan. In order to use soil similar to the land of the Western Empire, Lin Yiyan specially went to collect the soil on the foreign border on the outskirts of the central capital, but the first batch of seeds were completely lost before they germinated and disappeared into the flower pot.
It is estimated that the people in the real world who designed and operated this world made such a setting, and this kind of Zevria is different from Catalen, which does not exist in the current world. So why can Zevria grow in the Western Empire, but not in the Northern Empire?
It must be because the people of this world believe it so much, and the imagination of the inhabitants has made Zephria's data in the main memory device like this. If this is the case, then suppose Lin Yiyan concentrates his imagination beyond the strength of residents' common sense on these dozen seeds and temporarily rewrites the data ......? Overwriting one's own imagination to tens of thousands of people's imagination sounds arrogant, but what about the truth?
What Lin Yiyan wants to challenge is the common sense that has existed for hundreds of years. In the current Under Orld, every day I talk about Zevria who only grew up in the Western Empire...... Sometimes there may be none. That is, the data of Zevria in the main memory device is not strongly locked.
So, if Lin Yiyan concentrates on imagining every day and continues to do so...... No, but if you pray that it will bloom. There may be a situation where old common sense is overwritten. Lin Yiyan, who came to this conclusion, has been pouring Lin Yiyan's imagination into it like flowing water for half a year since the autumn of last year.
The first time it failed. The second time also failed. However, on the third occasion, a five-millimeter sprout grew, and although it died quickly, it was impossible. In the fourth experiment, Lin Yiyan used all the seeds, and every day before school and after dinner, Lin Yiyan would concentrate on imagining. Earth is soil, water is water, and you will sprout, grow, and blossom here.
When Lin Yiyan said this, he always felt that there was a flash of light in these small flower seedlings, which could be an eye...... It's an illusion of consciousness, but now Lin Yiyan is convinced. The twenty-three flower seedlings planted in the pot are sure to bloom beautifully this time.
"Come, Yi Yan, I've brought the water."
ββ¦β¦ Ah, no, I'm sorry. While Lin Yiyan was deep in his memories in front of the flower pot, Ugeo brought the watering can full of water. After thanking him, he took the watering can, and his partner chuckled.
"I really didn't expect that after two years together, I didn't know that Yi Yan had such an interest."
"Well, I don't know......" Eugeo changed his expression, leaned his face over, and said, "Maybe it's a precursor to memory recovery." Yi Yan appeared before Lu Lide, maybe he would plant flowers in his house...... Or, it is the one who holds such a vocation. β
Hearing this, Lin Yiyan looked at his partner's face blankly for a while, and coughed hurriedly, "Well, um~...... I don't know. I didn't know anything about plants, but Milei from the cultivation department taught me from scratch. β
I almost forgot that Lin Yiyan was a lost person in Bekuta, and it was because of the mischief of the dark god Bekuta that he was robbed of his memory and banished to a land far away from his hometown. In the academy, he landed in this way with his native name Lulid, but the only student who knew about this setting was Yugeo.
Moreover, recently, he didn't mention anything about Lin Yiyan's previous memories, and Lin Yiyan thought that he didn't care anymore, but it didn't seem to be the case. After Lin Yiyan replied like this, Yugeo nodded slowly, did not continue to communicate on this topic, and turned his gaze to the flower pot.
"Quick, water the flowers, the flowers are already saying, hurry, hurry, hurry."
"Oh, Yugeo-kun can finally understand what these guys are saying."
"Of course, after all, I've been cooperating with your interest for half a year." Accompanying Yougeo to say witty words that ended here, Lin Yiyan straightened his body in front of the flower plate, and imagined wordlessly for the time being.
It's small, but it's your kingdom. Nothing threatens you. Let's receive sunlight with dignity and absorb water and give me beautiful flowers.
When Lin Yiyan felt that this imagination had been fully integrated into the water of the kettle, he gently put his right hand diagonally. As a small sound sounds, water droplets fall, soaking the tiny green leaves and stems, and continuing to flow down into the black soil......
At this time, Lin Yiyan felt that the twenty-three flower seedlings were surrounded by gentle light.
Is it the usual delusion again, or is it ......
Thinking so, he glanced at Eugeo next to him, but Eugeo was praying silently with his eyes closed, unaware of the phenomenon. When Lin Yiyan turned his eyes back to the flower pot, the white light had disappeared.
Although he felt sorry for Yugeo who cooperated with his interests, he didn't know that these seedlings were Zephria. I thought it was an unknown seed that Lin Yiyan bought casually in the market.
The reason why he didn't tell him the truth was because if Lin Yiyan told him, maybe the common sense that Yugeo believed would cancel out his imagination. Competing with partners for the strength of the will is not the purpose of this experiment, nor is it Lin Yiyan's original intention. Even if it wasn't like that, Lin Yiyan was afraid in his heart. In a class that only a high-level swordsman needs to take, students will have to fight against him when they have a test against each other......
ββ¦β¦ That, Yi Yan! I don't know when Yugeo opened his eyes and suddenly called Lin Yiyan. Turned his gaze away. However, of course, it wasn't because he heard the voice in Lin Yiyan's head, but the question that Yugeo said next was beyond Lin Yiyan's expectations.
"Yi Yan, if all the memories are recovered, what do you want to do......?"
"Huh...... What do you want to do? β
"Because, Yi Yan became a sword cultivator of this academy...... And with the ultimate goal of integrating knights, it's all to match my purpose, right? In order to find Alice, who was brought to the Congregational Church eight years ago. But...... I regained my memory and remembered the words of the street where I was born......"
I guess I've found a way back, right? I remember saying at the beginning that when you enter this world, you can't come out, you can only break through from the inside and look for the administrator.
Lin Yiyan didn't know how to explain it to his partner, no, he was hiding so many things from his best friend, and then the empty kettle was transferred to his left hand, and he patted Yugeo's back with his free right hand. Continuing to put his hand on his back, Lin Yiyan continued calmly, "...... No, even if I regain my memory, I won't go back. I was a swordsman in my former place. I can be sure of that...... There is also an interest in growing flowers. As a swordsman, of course, the goal must be the unification conference of the four empires in the central capital? β
When ......... heard this, Yugeo's back shook slightly. The crouching Eugeo lowered his head deeply and said in a voice that he could barely hear, "...... I'm a weak guy. If you hadn't met Yi Yan under Kigascida, it is estimated that it would be a repetition of every day of swinging the axe by one. Under the pretext of vocation, he never seriously thought about leaving the village...... Someday even Alice's thing...... I will forget about ...... too."
His eyes kept falling on the broken bricks at his feet, and Yugeo continued to whisper his thoughts.
ββ¦β¦ I was able to enter the Zakaria Guard, arrive in Santoria smoothly, and take the entrance exam for the Sword Academy, thanks to Yi Yan pulling me over. So at least...... Before graduating from this academy, I have to be as strong as Yi Yan, I have always thought so. However, Yi Yangang said that even if his memory is restored, he will not go back...... Hearing this, I was very relieved......"
Under Lin Yiyan's palm, Ugeo's back trembled again. Concentrated, just like facing the flower seedlings just now, Lin Yiyan imagined strongly again. You are very strong, and in this world bound by laws and regulations, you are the one who has decided to leave the village and travel.
ββ¦β¦ That, let me make it clear first, if I was alone, I wouldn't be able to come to Yangdu. While imagining strongly, he said in a brisk voice, "I don't know the way, and I don't know the Basic Law of the Empire...... Most importantly, there is not even 1 Zion. We are now in this academy because the two of us have worked together. The same will be true in the future. The two of them work together to march forward and defeat the young masters of the superior nobles, as well as the elites of the Imperial Knights. After becoming an integration knight, it's not too late to think about working alone. β
"......" Yugeo was silent for a moment after hearing these words, and then replied quietly, "Hmm... Well, yes. We're two people here. Therefore, in the future, two people will climb the white tower together. β
"Well, in order to achieve this goal, you must first achieve less than 12 places in the examination examination this month...... I'm not afraid of the actual skill exam, but I'm a little afraid of the divine technique...... When you get back to your room, teach me about the adaptive media. β
"Yes, okay. We're going to be working together right away. β
"Well, yes." Tapping on Yugeo's back, Lin Yiyan stood up. Then Yugeo stood up, and his face returned to his usual soft smile. But he immediately tilted his head again, as if remembering something, and said, "Ah, speaking of which, don't you have something to say to me?" β
"Huh...... Ahh I forgot to say something important. Lin Yiyan straightened up to face Yugeo and solemnly continued, "Yougeo, can you lend me your Green Rose Sword all day tomorrow?" β
"Okay, no problem." I didn't expect to be so happy to agree. Yugeo tilted his head again.
"What are you for? It will make a difference if you use it too much, so it's better to use a wooden sword as much as possible when you try to compete. Did I tell you so? β
"That's true...... However, I made an agreement with Senior Sister Lena just now, and I will show her one last time, my real swordsmanship. If you use a wooden sword, you can only use a double combo. β
"Oh, that's what happened. So, let her get a good look at the essence of Ayn Grant's flow. The Sword of the Green Rose is at your disposal, but ......" At this point, Yugeo cut off his words and said with an incredulous expression, "But, Yi Yan, you won't forget, will you?" Isn't tomorrow's Sabbath that day? β
"Huh? What a day......"
"Oh, yes, it's March 7th. You're not looking forward to it. β
ββ¦β¦ Ahhh No, it's not that I forgot...... It's just that I didn't expect it to take a year......"
"Isn't that just forgot?" Ahaha, after smiling like this, Yugeo asked Lin Yiyan again, "How is it?" Will you use the Sword of the Green Rose, or will you ......"
"No, with my own sword. This must have been Mistress Tyrelia's guidance. I'm sorry, but I told you that I wanted to borrow it. β
"It's okay, let's go, let's go back to the room. Study with you before the lights go out. β
ββ¦β¦ Please, please accept it! He put the watering can back in the shed and caught up with Eugeo in front of him. One last look at the flower pots, the little flower seedlings grew a little with water droplets into the night sky.
And Lin Yiyan's experiment of planting Zephria, the second reason is that just thinking about it makes people hesitate.
Because it's kind of ...... No, it's embarrassing.
β¦β¦β¦
There are many types of vocations in Under Orld, but there are no Travelers among them.
Although the traders who cross the border to sell goods are somewhat similar, if it is a trip, it feels a little more subtle. Because they are in the central capital of the circle, for example, from North Santoria to East Santoria, or vice versa, carrying goods, the distance they can move is no more than five kilometers.
The border villages are largely self-sufficient, and the medicines and metalworking goods that the villages cannot produce themselves are regularly brought in by horse-drawn wagons from the nearest towns. It seems that there is no such thing as a traveling entertainer or bard, and if you travel for leisure, you are hindered by the Sabbath system, which is only one day a week.
The only exception is the integrated knight who rode a wyvern from the central capital of Santoria to the final mountain range seven hundred and fifty kilometers away, but this vocation is too special.
As a result, the inhabitants of Underorld do not travel long distances, but this does not prohibit travel. If it is within the scope of the vocation's duties, such as the furniture house in Santoria, and the purchase of raw materials, there is also a possibility of such a thing. And I myself am not limited by the rules of this world, and I can cross the border with great arrogance.
In other words, whether to travel or not depends mainly on the will of the individual. However, 99% of these under orlds are conservative in their thinking. However, there are not all those who have a strong sense of adventure. One of them, a craftsman named Sadre, who runs a shop in the 7th district of Santoria Norte.
"Look, this miserable look!" While speaking in a hoarse voice, he threw several quadrangular stone slabs at Lin Yiyan and Yugeo. This black and black with a delicate feel is a special stone in the Eastern Empire, but all of them are not more than two centimeters thick.
"This black refining rock stone could have been used for three years, but six pieces were broken in just one year!"
"Hah, huh...... Really, I'm sorry......" Sincerely apologizing to the red-faced shopkeeper, Lin Yiyan's eyes looked around.
The Sadray Gold Craft Shop has a shop where you can find practical items, decorations, and weapons made of metal. are all closely displayed. The most conspicuous are the several swords hanging on the walls inside. Why is there a sword when it's a handicraft shop? When they first came, Lin Yiyan and Ugeo, who had this question, asked the shopkeeper with a fierce face. The answer was, "I wanted to be a smelter and make real swords."
The difference between a smelter and a craftsman in this world is just what kind of tools are used. The smelter uses a stove, iron plates, and mallets to make metal into goods. Relative to the craftsman, the method used is to cut, cut, file. In other words, it is just a difference between beating and beating and cutting and chopping.
The mountain bike that Lin Yiyan rides in the world now, the parts for the same purpose are also divided into aluminum forged and aluminum cutting, which should be similar to this principle...... Lin Yiyan understood this, and then, "If you are also making swords, craftsmen are no problem", after saying this, immediately, the shopkeeper of Sadley stared at Lin Yiyan fiercely and said, "It is also made of iron, but what comes out is different."
It seems that even if it is the same metal material block, there is a sword cut and polished, and there is a hammer that is punched, the sword made by the latter method will have a higher priority (that is, a number such as classβobject). Therefore, when he first started making swords, he was also told by a smelting shop in the same 7th district that "these are just some good-looking fake and shoddy products".
