Meanwhile.

In the forging room of the Thai family, there was a constant uproar.

At this time, there were several rapid knocks at the door, interrupting the rhythm.

Taiyue smiled and shook his head, and continued to polish a part on the workbench.

"Grandpa! Didn't you say a good rest!

"Hehe, what does grandpa do, is it your grandson's turn to teach me?

Don't bother me, I'm almost done!"

"No! If you don't open the door again, I'll break the door directly!"

"If you want to me off, just break the door. ”

......

Silence fell outside the door.

Tai Yue smiled faintly, and the noise became regular again.

"Grandpa, do you have any regrets?"

A moment later, Taiban's voice came from outside the door, but it was much softer than before.

"Yes, I'm trying to make my life without regrets?"

"Dad told me to get married quickly, do you want to see me get married?"

Taiyue in the room was stunned when he heard this, and the speed in his hand gradually slowed down.

If it had been a few years ago, he would have looked forward to Taiban marrying a wife and having children soon.

But now......

But there was no sense of anticipation in his heart.

After being silent for a long time, Taiyue replied lightly: "Marriage is a lifelong affair for you.

There's no need to change your life plan because of me. ”

Taiban outside the door seemed a little surprised to hear this.

"That's not what you said before!"

"Didn't I understand it?

The marriage of your children has little to do with us elders, after all, you are looking for someone who will spend your life with you in the future. ”

......

There was silence.

"Grandpa, you haven't said what your regrets are?"

"My regret is my regret, you can't help me. ”

"My forging skills are already very good, and I can take charge of Tiangong in the future. ”

"Huh. ”

Tae-yue's chuckle was full of mockery.

The grandfather and grandson chatted from time to time across the door, and occasionally even mixed with an angry scolding.

Of course, there is also laughter.

The grinding sound in the middle never stopped.

Before I knew it, a full afternoon had passed.

The two even talked about the future situation of mankind.

......

"Taiban, that friend of yours is not simple, you can communicate with him more in the future. ”

"Are you talking about He Mu? He is the Lord of Hope, can he simply get up?

Besides, I will inherit the heavenly work in the future.

Forging is destined to be boring, what am I going to communicate......"

Taiban said to himself.

At this time, the grinding sound suddenly disappeared.

Taiban's face was grim and he shouted, "Grandpa?"

No one responded.

"Grandpa!"

Tayban jerked to his feet and slammed the door.

The door slowly opened, and Taiban saw at a glance the old man who was slumped against the workbench, his face like gold paper, and blood hanging from the corners of his mouth.

Looking at the ground next to the old man, there was a large pool of blood.

Taiban's pupils contracted violently, and he walked up to the old man in two steps, helped the limp old man, and let him sit on the chair next to him.

"Grandpa......"

Before he could say anything, Taiyue stretched out his hand and shook it, signaling him not to speak.

"Taiban...... You look at the stuff on the workbench. ”

Taiban raised his head when he heard this.

On the workbench was a single-shot pistol one meter six long, the thickness of his calf.

Tai Ban cultivates the way of the spear, and naturally has an extreme understanding of guns.

So, he saw at a glance how extraordinary this gun was.

The barrel, the butt, the rifling, the firing device, everything, the workmanship is perfect.

If it's just perfect workmanship, the key is that the materials used in this gun are also extremely amazing, and those bones are all of a level that you can't see on the market.

......

"Ahem...... Most of the materials for this gun come from the scraps I have left over from the years of forging other Tiangong generations.

As for the barrel and other important parts, they were found from the True Dragon Pavilion, and they were all made of one top and one material.

How about it? Do you like this first Tiangong gun?"

Taiyue looked at the gun on the workbench, his voice was weak, but his tone was full of relief and pride.

Taiban stretched out his hand and rubbed it against the gun, tears welling up in his eyes.

"Grandpa...... Have you been making this gun for the past few years?"

"Well, if it's just about difficulty, this gun is the most complex weapon I've ever forged in my life, and it's the pinnacle of my work. ”

Taiyue nodded and said.

Taiban wiped away his tears and looked at the old man.

It's just a moment of effort, and the grandfather in front of him seems to have lost all the energy of his body, and the whole person has aged all of a sudden.

That appearance was not much different from that of an ordinary dying old man, and he didn't have the appearance of a war emperor at all.

"But...... For...... Why?"

Tayban struggled to squeeze the words out between his lips.

He didn't understand...... Grandpa obviously wanted him to inherit the heavenly work.

But why spend so much energy forging this gun for him?

Tai Yue looked at the gun and muttered back, "There are some Red Mist Warriors in this world.

But due to the limitations of guns, they can't become emperors of war, and neither can you.

So, I wanted to make a gun like this and break this limitation. ”

"Grandpa, you know...... That's not what I'm asking.

I'm talking about...... I want to inherit the heavenly work in the future, and this gun has no effect on me. ”

Hearing this, Taiyue raised his head and looked at his grandson, who was tall and tearful in front of him.

After a moment of silence, a kind smile appeared on his face.

"What an adult, and crying. ”

As he spoke, he stretched out his calloused hand and patted Tayban's right arm.

"Actually, grandpa, I only have two regrets in my life.

The first regret is to be ashamed of your father and son.

But I can't help it, the country needs me, and I can't spare time to accompany you.

Your grandmother, she went early.

As for your mother...... Alas, don't mention it.

But don't blame her, the men of our Tai family are indeed too boring. ”

Speaking of this, Tai Yue paused and continued: "Tai Ban, I gave you this name because I wanted you to become a master craftsman.

But then I saw that kind of concentration on your face when you practiced the gun, and I knew...... You don't like forging.

What you like is combat and excitement in a fun and colorful life.

In fact, don't say it's you, even I don't like it.

The so-called ingenuity in the mouth of outsiders is actually just a responsible attitude.

People are emotional creatures, who can be trapped in a room and do one thing for decades, and still not feel bored?

......

Ahem, ten years ago, you said you would take over my class, saying it was your dream.

Later, I figured out that your dream is to let me, as a grandfather, rest and do what I love.

Hehe, your grandson can think about grandpa, can grandpa not think about you?

So, then I decided to build this gun for you.

Decide and fulfill you.

......

Taiban, take this gun and do what you like.

Your father's life trajectory has been set and can't be changed, but you can still change it, and I don't want you to follow the same path as your grandfather. ”

Hearing this, Taiban squatted in front of Taiyue and grabbed the withered hands.

"But grandpa, heaven...... It is the responsibility of our Thai family!"

Tai Yue laughed when he heard this, and seemed extremely pleased.

"Haha, the loyalty and responsibility of our Tai family are engraved in our bones, and your father and I haven't taught you much about these things, but you can understand this truth. ”

Speaking of this, Taiyue's expression became serious.

"Taiban...... There are some things you may not know, the war on the moon cannot last forever, it will always end one day.

It can be as short as a few years or as long as decades.

And whether we human beings exist or perish, it will be in the past few years or decades.

During this time, your father is in charge of the heavenly work.

I reckon...... It's not your turn.

Therefore, there is no need to lose your life for such a little probability.

What's more, your grandfather and I have done enough, now let my grandson do what he likes, it's not too much, right?"

Taiban was stunned when he heard this, and his eyes involuntarily glanced at the single-shot gun on the workbench, and at the same time stretched out his hand and gently rubbed it on the barrel.

"Pick it up and try it, grandpa has never given you any precious gifts in his life, this is the first and only one. ”

Taiyue said with a light smile.

Hearing this, Taiban grabbed the body of the gun, lifted it vigorously, and held the gun in his hand.

The gun weighed amazingly, probably close to twenty tons!

To be honest, with his current strength, he may not be able to control this gun.

Looking at the position of the butt, there are a few very small words engraved on it, which is the name of this gun.

"Heavenly Craftsman"

......

“...... Grandpa, what's your second regret?"

"Second regret ......"

Taiyue's gaze became distant.

"It's a pity that we can't see the scene of the final victory of our humanity......"
