A light letter eagle quietly flew over the wasteland of the Northlands, flying over the majestic northern snowy mountains. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 Info flew deeper into Arest.

This is a letter eagle with an owner, and its flight will naturally not be aimless. Soon, it saw what it was looking for in the clouds. Immediately, it let out a clear cry and flew down from the sky like an arrow from a string.

Hearing the cry of the eagle, a tall man in the snowfield of Arest immediately raised his head and looked at the sky. He saw the falcon flying down, and immediately let out a whistle. And in the call of this whistle, the letter eagle immediately flew over, and then landed directly on the man's shoulder.

The one-armed man reached out and scratched the falcon's head, then took out a secret letter from its claws. He read the letter at a glance, and then sighed and crumpled it in his hand.

"Reinhardt, you're taking a risk. Forget it, friend, I'll help you. ”

Mu said this, and walked towards the house behind him. He pushed the door open, and immediately a wave of heat rushed in his face, and the sound of rapid steel pounding reached his ears. This made him frown, and then he said to the figure who was busy by the fire.

"Your strength is too light. In this way, the impurities in the steel cannot be tempered. Push harder, and the movement will be more steady. ”

Hiko, who had a smoky face, raised his eyebrows, then pursed his lips. He seemed to want to say something, but in the end he continued to bury himself in the struggle without saying anything.

Under Mu's surveillance, he finally made a basic mold of the long sword in his hand. As he lowered the reddened sword strip into the thick, viscous grease, he watched as it ignited the surface of the grease and released puffs of steaming smoke. This sword bar has finally completed the most basic forging. Of course, whether this sword bar is considered a success or not, it still needs to be nodded by Mu.

Mu took the sword from his son's hand. First, he put it vertically in front of him and compared whether the sword was bent. Then he crossed the blade of the sword, carefully examining every inch of its surface. Finally, he placed the blade of the sword on his fingers and carefully sensed the balance of the entire sword. It was only at this time that he nodded at Hikoko in satisfaction.

And this immediately made Yan let out a long breath. He was relieved, because it was really not easy, don't look at this sword bar is just an ordinary product made of ice and iron, but this is the first time that Yan has successfully created a sword bar in more than a month. The previous ones either broke during the forging process, or cracks appeared during the quenching process. There are so many questions that Yan is about to go crazy. It can be said that this is a success that has been achieved with great difficulty, so it is natural that he will have this special feeling of excitement in his heart.

It's just that at this time, before he could be happy for too long, Mu, as a father, had already poured a bucket of cold water on his head.

"Don't be too happy. You're just a copy. There's a huge gap between a weapon made of ice and iron and the one you envisioned as one. You have to go so hard to build such a simple thing, and you want to use Qijin to create your ideal existence, do you think you can do it?"

"It's going to work!" muttered, and Hiko dragged his sword to the workbench on the other side. He also had to polish the blade of the sword and fix the necessary things such as the hilt of the handguard. The current longsword can only be said to be a half-finished product, and it cannot be considered a real work until everything is finished.

Mu didn't bother Yan at this time, he watched Yan use the rough whetstone to sharpen the quenching marks on the long sword, so that the slight blue sword body and edge in the snow were revealed little by little. Then the sword bar is put on a dragon claw-shaped gauntlet that has been polished. Layers of nitrate leather are wrapped around the wooden hilt, making it tight and strong and not easy to slip on. Finally, the hilt and handguard are firmly attached to the sword body with a tapered sword governor.

It took an hour of busy work for the entire long sword to be completely finalized. And when Yan casually swung the long sword in his hand and whined the wind, he immediately nodded in satisfaction. This can already be regarded as a qualified work for him. At least it's much better than the standard swords I've built before.

Forging has always been a technical job. With Hiko's ability, it is not a problem to create some standard weapons. But if he forges according to his own design, then he needs to go through several failures and learn enough lessons from them to really make a difference. This is the first finished product he has created with his own design, so it is naturally a bit extraordinary in the sense.

It's as if a child had made up a toy that he liked so much, and Hikoko now has a feeling of falling in love with this weapon. Although it was clear that this was only a temporary replacement, that didn't stop him from liking it.

A good warrior should indeed have such feelings for his weapons. Mu also agreed with this, so he didn't say anything to Yan's outward emotion. Instead, he said it to him.

"Well, after all, it's just a temporary replacement, and you don't need to get too excited. It just so happens that I have one more thing for you to do!"

"Something? Mu rarely asks Hiko to do something, so when he opened his mouth, Hiko really had a strange feeling.

"I know you have a good relationship with the people of the Nord fleet. So I need you to borrow a ship from them, and then go to intercept an Imperial warship escorting key criminals on the Imperial route to the north. It's best if you get out of the horse yourself and bring the two people back to Arest safely. ”

"Two people?" Hiko was a little strange, he didn't know what acquaintances his father had in the empire, and he wanted to risk offending the empire to rescue him. So he immediately asked. "Who needs you to do this?"

"A woman and a child about your age. The lady called Osynvia, and the kid was called Billy. You have to remember the name and don't get it wrong!"

Mu explained with a flat expression, but this made the curiosity in Yan's heart swell more and more.

"Woman, child, old man, this can't be some kind of affair you have caused outside, is it? Or is the Imperial warship in charge of escorting, at least this is the treatment of the great nobles above the earl. Honestly, did you have a relationship with that noble lady of the Empire, and then gave me a brother of Nord blood or something?"

"Get out of here!" As soon as his face changed, Mu kicked Hiko directly in the ass, kicking him in the direction of the gate. "If I hear that again, I'll be rude to you. Also, I'll leave this matter to you. If you mess things up, then you don't want to come back!"

Rubbing his ass and standing up, Yan was really a little difficult to get used to the Nord people's way of teaching children with violence at every turn. Of course, this also has something to do with his irregular death. He has already suffered a lot on this issue. And judging from the current situation, I am afraid that he will continue to suffer this loss.

Of course, this also has something to do with his lack of heart and lungs. It's like now, he has forgotten the unpleasant experience of being kicked before, and has made the idea of dragging another person into the water.

"Am I the only one? Won't she go with me?"

"The cultivation of the tidal sword technique of the dome is about to reach a bottleneck, and her main task at this time is to break through this barrier, not to run around with you. ”

Mu could easily see what kind of ghost Yan was thinking, so he immediately dismissed his idea. It's just that his reason really makes Yan a little unacceptable.

"Obviously, she was still trying her best to teach her the Beidou God Fist, but now she actually says that she is on some bottleneck. If you want to find a reason, you have to find a good reason!"

He muttered a few words and saw the change in his father's face. Hiko didn't care about anything else, put on his coat, dragged the long sword he had just made, and ran outside. But as soon as he ran out of the door, he poked his head back.

"Old man, what about the exact time? You can't let me drift on the sea for a year with a boatload of people. ”

"In just one or two months. The Empire's navy, no matter how incompetent, will not drag time behind this. So if you stay on this channel for two months, you'll definitely be able to meet them!"

"Two months? That's fine. Then you have to wait for my good news, old man. I'll definitely bring your old lover back to you!"

Hehe, with a smile, Yan left here as fast as he could, just before Mu had a seizure.

It's not easy to find Nord pirates who have the ability to rob the Imperial Navy. Because although the Imperial Navy has declined, after all, the foundation is there. Emaciated camels are bigger than horses, and it is really not a big problem to dispatch one or two two-thousand-ton sail warships. And if you want to fight such a naval force, you don't have to think about it at all without a thousand-ton dragon whale warship.

So far, there are only more than 60 dragon whale warships of more than 1,000 tons in the entire Nord fleet, and there are only three Leviathan warships of more than 2,000 tons. It was the Nord Pirates' ace battleship, so Hiko didn't even think of the idea of fighting it. All he wanted was to get a dragon whale warship. It's just that this kind of second-best thing is not easy.

But fortunately, he still has this way!
