Thus, the adventurous young Sadre was completely boiling. Relying on tenacity, he quickly made enough goods for a year, handed over the job of looking after the store to his wife and apprenticeship, and went on a trip by himself. In order to find materials that can be made into good swords by cutting and polishing instead of forging.

Although it was a journey, the craftsmen did not have permission to cross the border, so they had to travel north from Santoria. After months of walking from town to town, from village to village, and finding a few promising materials, he was still not satisfied, and finally arrived in the northern forest, where he encountered a huge tree that broke through the sky.

It will not scorch if it is burned with fire, and it is so hard that it is cut with a metal axe, and the axe is almost broken, and the bark is black in a large cedar wood...... Of course, it's Kigascida, the Devil's Tree.

At that time, the Tracer was the old man Garita (who must have been very young at the time) who had become acquainted with Sadre and fell in love with him. Sadre wanted a twig from Kigascida for the material of the sword. However, when he climbed the tree with the help of Old Garita and tried to break the branch at hand, it took three days and three nights to cause no superficial injury.

Sadre, who gave up crying, asked the old man Garita to inform him if the tree was cut down. At that time, you will come to this forest again in order to get this branch. Old Man Garita completes Sadre's commission in a slightly strange way.

Last March, at the end of a long journey, Lin Yiyan and Yogeo came to Santoria Norte and visited the Sadrejin craft shop in District 7, as Garita said. Lin Yiyan took out the top branch of Kigascida, and after seeing this branch, Sadre was silent for three minutes, and after taking another five minutes to check it carefully, he said:

- Give me a year. A year later, the branch will become a formidable sword.

- Even the artifact carried by the integration knight can be surpassed!

So, a whole year later, on March 7, 380 in the human calendar, that is, today, Lin Yiyan and Ugeo visited the handicraft shop again, and the shopkeeper greeted him with a red face.

"That's, that'...... Sword, how's it going? Lin Yiyan carefully interrupted Sadre's endless grumbling and asked.

With a snort, the shopkeeper looked straight at Lin Yiyan while touching his gray beard, sighed from his nose, and bent down. Taken out of the bottom of the counter with both hands, there is a slender package. The strong body exerted all its strength and took it up in one go.

Boom! It was put down on the counter with such a heavy sound, but the owner's hand did not leave immediately. The upper right hand was placed on the package, and the left hand stroked the beard again.

"Young man, I haven't said anything about the polishing fee!"

"Woo~" was speechless for a while. The Sword Academy is run by the Empire, so the tuition fee is zero, but during the year, during the Sabbath, you come to the street to buy something or something, so the wages you get in the Zakaria Guards are correspondingly less. The wages paid to the craftsmen now (and for a whole year, a full six of the highest stones) are probably not enough.

“…… It doesn't matter, Yi Yan, just in case, I also took all my money! Although Yugeo behind him said these touching words, Lin Yiyan still had a bad premonition.

In case, all the assets of the two of us combined are not enough...... Will it be a list of illegal taboos? Police, no, they will be arrested and imprisoned by the flying integration knights??

"-I don't have to take money!" After a long pause, Sadley said this, and Lin Yiyan and Yugeo just wanted to breathe a sigh of relief. And then "just ......"

He continued, "...... It's just that, young man, you can wield this monster. It's heavy when it's still material, although it's pretty good to be able to move it from the far north to Santoria...... But let me say it first, this guy became heavier when it was finished as a sword. The smelter and craftsman, with the protection of Lord Tirelia, could have carried no matter how good the sword was...... Even if it's me, it's already hard to lift up to one meter! ”

“…… Monsters, huh? Such a broken way, Lin Yiyan looked at the package.

Through the thick linen cloth, one can still feel the strong presence that almost distorts the space. It's as if you're seducing yourself...... Or is it the other way around being attracted by the magnetic force emitted by his heart, although Lin Yi now wants to let his body act on its own, but he is hesitating.

Two years ago, under the roaring spring thunder, Lin Yiyan and Yugeo began their journey south.

Around Yugeo's waist hung the Sword of the Green Rose, which was now lying in the drawer of the bed in the junior trainer's dormitory. And then on his back, there was a pitch-black branch that had just been cut from Kigas Sida. Old man Garita asked him to hand it over to the craftsman Sadre for processing, but at that moment, there was an urge that Lin Yiyan felt that he should bury this branch in the depths of the forest.

As for the reason, Lin Yiyan still doesn't know. Compared to having only one sword for two swordsmen, of course, it is much more convenient to have two. Therefore, if you can make a sword as strong as the Sword of the Green Rose, you will be much more happy than afraid. Covering this faint premonition with reason, Lin Yiyan took the branch of Kigascida to Santoria and entrusted it to Sadre.

So, on this day, a year later, the branch finally turned into a sword posture, waiting for Lin Yiyan's first contact under the sackcloth.

After inhaling greatly and exhaling a long breath, Lin Yiyan stretched out his left hand. First, together with the cloth, they stood on the counter. From this high-density feel, the weight is not much different from the Sword of the Green Rose.

Slowly turning the cloth open, the upper part of the cloth after riichi soon fell, revealing the hilt of the sword. The hilt is a simple chisel, and the grip is tightly wound with thin strips of leather. The sword was a little smaller, because it was cut out of a tree branch. The entire hilt of the sword has the faint transparency of Kigascida's pitch-black. The leather on the hilt of the sword is also black.

The scabbard that surrounds the blade is also made of black leather. Lin Yiyan stretched out his right hand, slowly grasped the hilt of the sword one finger at a time, and grasped it together.

Up to now, Lin Yiyan has held countless swords, most of which are objects in the VRMMO world, with the exception of the lightsaber formed by IS. But...... Because of this, there is something that can be conveyed just by holding the hilt of the sword. From the palm of the right hand to the wrist and past the shoulder, the sensation continues to linger on the back.

Lin Yiyan stood still for the time being. When the afterglow of the shock subsides, exert force from the abdomen! In one fell swoop, he pulled it out of its black-skinned scabbard.

kingggg！

The sound, which was thicker than the Sword of the Green Rose, reverberated through the store, heavy, but not the hardness of metal. But of course, it is also different from the wooden sword. It's the sound of something very, very hard, very strong. Pointing the tip of the sword at the sky, Ling, the blade whispered.

"Uh-huh......" Mader Sadre whispered.

"Wow......!" Yugeo also leaked a whispered voice. Then Lin Yiyan held his breath and looked at the sword in his right hand. The full length of the sword is exactly the same as Lin Yiyan's former love sword elucidate. Because it was Lin Yiyan who cut down Kigas Sida and got this branch, it was of course that he told Sadre about the size.

The hilt and blade of the sword are all in harmony, and they are all equally pitch black. However, it is indeed somewhat transparent, and the sunlight that comes in from the window also shines into the sword, and depending on the angle, it sometimes appears pale gold. The shape is an orthodox one-handed direct sword, with a slightly wider blade than the Sword of the Green Rose.

The blade is terrifyingly sharp, and if you touch it with your hand, you might cut your skin. The blade is so sharp that it can cut through the light, and no matter what angle you look at, you can't see the reflected light.

“…… Can you wield this guy? Finally, Sadre whispered the words. Lin Yiyan answered in lieu of mouth, looked at the store a little, and confirmed that there were no customers. There was no sign that the young apprentices were going to leave the workshop.

Turn your body parallel to the counter in front of you. There is more than five meters of space in front of you, so it is enough to try your swing. Holding the scabbard in his left hand, he opened his foot back and forth and lowered his waist. He didn't intend to use the Sord Skill, just a basic one-handed slash.

The front wall is decorated with a round shield sharpened from round copper plates. Lin Yiyan regarded it as an imaginary target with a distance of more than five meters, and slowly began to draw the sword.

This year, Lin Yiyan has been practicing with a wooden sword, and the feeling of this sword is conveyed mercilessly through Lin Yiyan's right hand. But it's not an unpleasant feeling. The sword was provoking Lin Yiyan, or wanted Lin Yiyan to use it quickly, this kind of comfortable weight.

The moment before the tip of the sword rises to the top, the right foot is stepped out. Using not only the strength of the wrist, imagine moving the vector movement of the center of gravity to the sword. The energy accumulated at the tip of the sword is released in one breath with the pace.

“xing……！！” The black light flashed down, and after a pause, there was the sound of the air being slashed. Although the tip of the sword stopped on the floor in time, the power of the impact still spread radially, and the floor was also shaken.

Lin Yiyan slowly straightened up, first Yugeo smiled and clapped his hands, and then Sadre gasped violently, "Whew...... The academy's fledgling trainer can wield this guy! ”

"Good sword!" Lin Yiyan didn't think there was any need to say anything more, and the craftsman smiled at this time, touched his beard and said, "Of course." Six Stones of Black Refining Rock...... However, an agreement is an agreement. I don't need to pay for the grinding, just say that it was made by the craftsman Sadre. This guy is your stuff from now on! ”

“…… It's true. Thank you so much! He bowed respectfully, and Eugeo bowed with him. Stand up and tuck your sword into its scabbard. Sadre stared at the black sword for two seconds, then smiled again, "I'll leave the name to you." This is my store's signature product, so don't give it a strange name! ”

"Hmm~" I can't answer quickly. Because in the previous world, all kinds of Objects had already been named when they came to him, and it was a little difficult for Lin Yiyan to name this guy.

“…… I, I'll think about it. Then, if the destiny is reduced, please ...... when you come to polish it again."

"Hmm. I'll start by saying it, it won't be free! ”

"When, of course." After ending the conversation, and bowing one last time, Lin Yiyan and Ugeo walked a few steps towards the door of the store together.

Suddenly, there was a sound from behind, boom! This magnificent metal sound was frightened and jumped lightly. Turning around, Sadre's eyes were round as he stared at the west wall. When I looked at the wall, I saw a round shield of goods that had been split in two from the middle and the right half had fallen to the floor.

First, the deliberate destruction of goods in the store violates the taboo catalog.

Second, damage caused not intentionally but due to an accident, if not compensated, also violates the taboo list.

Thirdly, in the case of the second article, only if the shopkeeper forgives him, he will not violate the taboo catalog.

While carving this new knowledge in my mind, I walked briskly on the way back to school. Teacher Ugeo next to him had a slightly pale face, and he kept scolding Lin Yiyan from just now, "It's just a trial swing, there's no need to use any mysteries!" If you do an interview at the store, you will easily notice that the product may be damaged. ”

"Hmm. Hmm~ You learned a lesson...... It's strange that I didn't plan to use any mysteries......"

"Haha, I saw it, Yi Yan. The moment he swung it down, the blade of the sword flashed. This can only be the mystery of the Aein Grant stream that I don't know yet! ”

"Hmm. Hmm~ Ayn Grant flow, I don't think there is such a sword skill......" As he spoke, he inadvertently drilled into Lin Yiyan's nose and hit his head.

The city of Santoria North is divided into ten districts, the southernmost of which is the Imperial City, the second is the Imperial Government, and the third and fourth districts are the residential streets of the nobility. The houses of the high nobility built side by side in the three districts were more luxurious than those of the Asuna family, and when they reached the third class knight, there was a surprisingly large private territory outside the city of Santoria.

Private estates existed only in a few small villages, and the nobility could use the inhabitants of the villages as servants. The children of nobles who grow up in this environment will inevitably sometimes appear like Leios and Wimbel who bully men and women. Then in the five districts, all the facilities that are called 'Dili' are gathered. The headquarters of the Knights and the fighting arena, as well as the Imperial Sword Academy.

The 6th and 7th arrondissements are commercial districts. Further north are the 8th, 9th, and 10th districts, which are the residential streets of the city of Santoria North. As can be seen from the geography lessons, this structure is exactly the same in the capitals of other empires, East, West, and South Santoria. Of course, I don't think that this is just an accident, and I don't think that the four emperors decided after good discussion, so of course it was designed by the big people in the Congregational Church. As a student, I don't usually pay much attention to it, but the authority of the church is really terrifying.

In any case, to get back to the Sword Academy in District 5 from the Sadrejin Craft Shop in District 7, you need to go through District 6, which is an area where there are many temptations to gather food markets and restaurants. It is not an exaggeration to say that the silver and copper coins in Lin Yiyan's wallet have basically been consumed in these six districts during the year.

Sometimes it's even more troublesome, around two o'clock in the afternoon on the Sabbath. The restaurant Dancing Deer Pavilion on the third road to the east will roast the famous honey pie at this time, and the sweet aroma will waft into the main road, which requires a high degree of self-control and willpower. But most of the time it fails.

“…… Eugeo, whether it's the shield compensation or this guy's grinding fee, it's good not to be charged. Lin Yiyan slowed down his pace and said, and his partner nodded with a strange expression and replied, "Yes." After entering the academy, I learned that Mr. Sadley was a celebrity who held a first-class craftsman certification. If we had to pay the normal wages, it would be estimated that our entire fortune would not be enough. ”

"Hey~! Well, I'll ask you...... What if it's not enough? Will you be arrested on the spot? ”

"It's impossible anyway. In this case, you will have to pay separately and monthly. ”

"I see, there is such an advanced saying as installment payment!" Subsequently, Lin Yiyan proposed to Ugeo, "...... It's rare that you don't have to pay, so it's okay to buy three, right? Then the partner, as if he had completely predicted that Lin Yiyan would say this, sighed, "Buy two!" ”

After he said this, Lin Yiyan could only nod his head, and changed the direction of his advance to the left, and it happened that there was a sister in front of the store who placed the freshly baked honey pie on the counter, and the two walked towards her. The black sword, which was hung on his back through a leather strap, had inadvertently merged with his body, and he barely felt the weight. It's as if it existed there for many years.

While savoring the wonderful balance of hot honey and butter, Lin Yiyan returned to the academy, and separated from Yugeo, who was going to the room of Kruklon's senior, and walked to the office of the junior practitioner's dormitory. Ask Ms. Azrika, who is the housekeeper, for permission to possess the sword as a private item.

If you bring a knife with a total length of more than one meter into the school, in the real world, it will not only anger the teacher, but you may also notify the police of the arrest. However, in this academy in another world, the purpose is to train swordsmen, and if there is only one, students are allowed to hold real swords.

Why can you only bring one, because in this world, although the amount of weapons, including swords, is very small, the divine power, that is, the spatial resource, will be absorbed from time to time. Specifically, if you properly organize the weapons that were consumed by the Mandate of Heaven in the competition and put them back in the scabbard, the Mandate of Heaven will slowly recover during this period...... It will absorb the same amount of divine power from its surroundings. 2510
