Chapter 43: Two Worlds

readx;

When the legendary blacksmith Sivel said this, he couldn't help but raise his voice, as if he was solemnly telling everyone that even if they seized any of the life weapons, as long as Sivel still held the secret of that shield, no one could use the power of those life weapons to do whatever they wanted.

"Could it be that you, old sir, cut a piece from the moon shield and made it into other life weapons?!" Miranda asked after a moment's thought.

"Not really, but I still find it interesting that it's now called Moon Shield," Sivel slowly rolled up the image of his daughter, who had already recovered from his grief and turned back into the old man who was obsessed with weapons, "Miranda, you and I hit it off at first sight, I should have told you all the truth, but fortunately I... Before I settle in the earth, I can let people who are destined to know these important things, but..."

"Settle in the earth?" said Miranda, a little surprised, "Mr. Sivel, you are in such good health, how can you say such unlucky things!, and even if you don't tell me these things, doesn't Escor know about them?"

Escor shook his sleeves as he helped the old man put the portrait back in the drawer of the cupboard, "I have never asked about the world, even if the continent has become turned upside down, even if those weapons of life are used to do evil things, I will not pay attention to it, except for my friends and myself, everything else is just a passing moment." The bard's attitude did not seem to surprise Siwell.

"Don't look at me as I'm in good spirits right now, in fact, every blacksmith who has used the enchantment process will shorten their lifespan, so I don't know when my life will end. After all, I've lived long enough, and it's a very lucky thing to meet a new friend in my old age, and the only thing that worries me is my daughter, the weapons I've created, and Wenlin and Nathaniel, who were once my apprentices. ā€

Sivel slowly closed his eyes after saying this, Miranda had already heard that enchantment was a mysterious technology, that only one in a hundred blacksmiths had mastered, and that no blacksmith had ever made a way to attach magic to weapons. If it weren't for the fact that she didn't have the talent and strength to forge herself, Miranda might have considered learning to forge with Sivel. Even when Mr. Sivel was honest with himself just now, he only mentioned the memories of the enchantment process, and as for why using the enchantment process to create weapons would damage the life of the creator, this question Miranda does not know.

Originally, after Miranda met this old man named Sivel, she just thought that the other party was a blacksmith who lived in seclusion, but she didn't expect that the other party was the legendary master. Now that Siwell has told Miranda so many secrets, no matter how optimistic and cheerful this girl usually is, she vaguely feels a trace of pressure.

"Sir, since you have told me such an important matter, what do you need me to do besides to help you inquire about your daughter and those two former students?" said Miranda, patting her flat chest.

"If you have time to come here and talk to me, it's best to take out the weapons I have built and sell them, you are a tourist merchant! There must be a lot of ways to sell goods!" Sivel opened his eyes and grinned, the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes had already climbed up to his sideburns, "It's very boring for me to live alone in the Sunrise Plateau, even the Escoli won't stay here forever, it is estimated that he will go back in a few days." ā€

Miranda turned to look at old Mr. Sivel's friend, the talented bard who was already standing by the windowsill, picked up a pen and paper, as if writing a new poem, "The great poet is going back to the mainland?" asked Miranda as she looked at the other handsome face.

"Yes," Escor seemed to realize that his side face was particularly handsome, so he didn't even turn his head, "It is estimated that in the center of the continent, there will be a grand wedding soon, I heard that it is the marriage of the Kingdom of Cosse and the Duchy of Nuo, this is the largest political marriage in the past few years, and I, as a love poet, will definitely be there." ā€

Miranda approached Escor, and she looked at the song and the words written on the paper. Sure enough, the other side was already preparing to offer verses, among which the word "ice princess" was used the most, and the gist of the word was to praise the prosperity and peace that marriage would bring.

"It was a national marriage that was finalized the previous year, and the woman was the ice princess of the Winter Kingdom, and her beauty was worthy of any prince and hero in the continent. Escor continued to work with his head bowed, as if he was at odds with the iron-loving Sivel, but the two were indeed close friends.

Miranda counted the days, and it had been a while since she came to the Sunrise Plateau. During this time, I met a lot of people, including mercenaries, poets, chambers of commerce, adventurers and legendary blacksmiths, and maybe it would be time to go back to the mainland. I don't know if my father successfully picked up my mother from a relative's house after returning to the mainland, after all, Golden Hoof City has been in the whirlpool of the civil war of the Oguna Empire before, but I heard that the civil war has ended, but what I didn't expect is that Golden Hoof City has been loyal to Greenko, and I really didn't mistake the pair of Marquis Baldwin father and son, they are the kind of guys who see the wind and steer the rudder.

Sivel also stood up, took some tools in his hands and said, "Isn't it a little heavy to tell you today, Miranda?"

"No, I love to hear stories, whether they are novel or incredible, I am interested," Miranda saw some intention in the old blacksmith's eyes, "I will definitely keep this story a secret, and I will not tell anyone else easily!"

"That's good, but I'm thinking, if one day... One day you die, and maybe you need to spread these stories... You can come here more often in the future to accompany me, or bring some of my newly built weapons back to the mainland to sell, those are all weapons that I have put so much effort into. ā€

"It's a pity... The best of them were taken away from him..."Miranda suddenly found that the old blacksmith had not told him who the nobleman who had given him the material was.

"It's not a pity, it's not a pity, the past experience and the things I have lost have made me more aware of what is most important to me, and I am not without gains, right?"

"The old gentleman is so optimistic!"

"Look at those strange weapons," Sivel pointed to the weapons that were randomly thrown around the corner of the room, and no one would have guessed that they were the weapons of the legendary blacksmith if no one had reminded them, but more like some cooking tools, "they are all my latest inventions! ā€

It is true that the name Wenlin has never appeared in Miranda's world, but Nathaniel's name seems to have been heard, but it didn't make the blonde girl remember who it was for a while, she had to promise Sivel that she would inquire more when she returned to the mainland, and Sivel said that everything would just go naturally, after all, he was also used to living peacefully.

"By the way, old sir, you know that Sir Pobo... Now a duke, he was poisoned during a banquet. Miranda remembered the news she had heard from the port a few days ago.

Sivel put the forging tools down, and he sighed, "Yes, I was almost poisoned, but the guy who imprisoned me was really poisoned, and that nobleman was about the same age as me, and I don't know if he passed on the weapon of life to his descendants." ā€

Miranda didn't know about the Battle of the River, so she only told Shewell about some recent events on the mainland. By the time she left Sivel's house, the sun was about to set. During this time, in addition to deepening her understanding of the customs and specialties of the Sunrise Plateau, Miranda also received a letter from Constable.

Emily's Weeping Mercenary Leader, Constable, sends the old mercenary to bring her a letter that describes Miranda as a man, a merchant, and an adventurer.

According to the old mercenary, their regimental commander sent handwritten letters to some of the people on the Sunrise Plateau, and it is estimated that the contents of these letters are similar: Constable intends to form an autonomous alliance on the Sunrise Plateau, dividing the entire Sunrise Plateau that has been explored into dominions, a new form of rule and class. He advocated that each city on the Sunrise Plateau send a representative, this representative is called the "mayor", and one of the mayors should be called the "governor", and the governor will be the supreme authority of the entire Sunrise Plateau for a term of three years, and all mayors, cities, and ports must obey the orders of the governor. However, the Governor's orders were not given by the Governor alone, but were negotiated by the mayors in the Governor's Mansion established by the Governor.

In addition, Constable proposed a new political precedent - contribution affects the proportion of power. Each local mayor is required to provide the Governor with "contribution funds", all of which are used to expand the Sunrise Plateau and protect the Sunrise Plateau Dominion. In this way, the entire Sunrise Plateau will be tied into a whole, and even if the other countries of the continent covet this land, they will have the ability to divide one side.

Rantha received a letter mentioning that Constable wanted a young man like Miranda to come to the city where he lived and give him advice.

"He's got a good idea, maybe a Dominion like this will really make the world map bigger and bigger!" said Miranda.
