Carefree and Yuwen Huaji walked out of the secret room and went straight through the corridor to a small building. The building was heavily guarded outside. The guards stood in neat and orderly rows. From time to time, a few patrols would shuttle back and forth between the courtyards. Looking at the guards 'serious expressions, Carefree guessed that not even an ant could crawl into this place.
Yuwen Huaji signaled the guards to open the iron door. One of the guards pressed the mechanism beside the door. With a bang, the iron door that weighed about a few hundred pounds was opened by the mechanism.
As soon as Carefree walked into the building, he was dumbfounded. This was not a training room, it was an entire arsenal.
The building was extremely spacious, like a square that could accommodate thousands of people at the same time. At this moment, a large group of skilled craftsmen were busy in front of Carefree. Some of them were forging weapons, some were forging armor, and some were forging iron products for battle.
There were at least 500 to 600 people in the building. They were all minding their own business. No one was slacking off or resting. Carefree suddenly thought of the Japanese's laboratory during the Anti-Japanese War. He felt that these people were almost crazy. Their eyes were bloodshot, and their eyes were darker than pandas.
These five to six hundred people were divided into dozens of groups, separated by a thick red line. Carefree took a look and realized that no one had crossed the red line. The red line seemed to be a very wide ravine that separated people from each other, as if they were in dozens of different worlds.
The building was extremely noisy, and the sound of metal colliding made Carefree cover his ears.
At this moment, a few people fell down. The guards on the side moved them into a room, and then a few people walked out from another room to replace the positions of the previous few people.
From the beginning to the end, Carefree found that the people around him didn't even look at him. They only cared about themselves and kept hitting him with all their might.
A group of lunatics, Carefree sighed in his heart.
Yuwen Huaji said a few words to a guard beside him. The guard walked to a high place that looked like a podium. He picked up a wooden stick and fiercely struck a big gong hanging on the stage.
The sound of the gong was like the school bell. When the bell rang, the students immediately quieted down. The originally boiling classroom suddenly became as quiet as a pool of water. Even the small sound of a needle falling to the ground could be heard by everyone.
Carefree was surprised. This was the first time he was so surprised. He realized that these people were not crazy. They were just like the military doctors in the Japanese laboratory that Carefree had thought of. They were crazy when they worked, but at the same time, their discipline was much higher than that of the regular army.
Carefree and Yuwen Huaji came to a sword-forging pool under everyone's gaze. Yuwen Huaji said to the five sword-smiths,""All of you will assist Lord Carefree. If this sword forging succeeds, I will reward you handsomely.”
"Yes." The five of them answered in unison.
"Xiaoyao, I've long heard that your sword-forging skills are unparalleled in the world. Today, I'm going to broaden my horizons.”
"Uncle Yuwen, you flatter me. There will always be someone better than you, and there will always be someone better than you. How can Xiaoyao dare to claim the glory of being unparalleled in the world? Now things are because of Xiaoyao, Xiaoyao should help Yuwen Shu solve the problem.”
Carefree walked up to the five of them and said to two of them,""I'll have to trouble the two of you to bring me the red crystal ore and white crystal ore, as well as the general materials for forging swords.”
The two of them were about to leave when Carefree called out to them.
"Oh, right, you guys should also find the transparent crystal mine.”
The two of them nodded and went to the corner to pick the ores.
Carefree said to the other two,"Please go to Sandalwood and Qingshan."”
The two of them accepted the order and also picked out things in a big corner.
Carefree finally realized that this place had all the materials needed to forge a sword. Just the things in this corner alone were enough for Soundless Bull's entire warehouse. Carefree remembered what Soundless Bull had once said. A good sword did not lie in its sharpness or its appearance. No matter how sharp a sword was, it would break at some point. No matter how beautiful or sturdy a sword was, it would also be corroded by wind and rain at some point. A peerless sword was not made of precious materials or superb techniques. The sword was the soul of a swordsman. As the saying went, if the sword was there, the person would be there. If the sword died, the person would die. The sword was like a swordsman's heart. The heart moved at will, and the sword was born from the heart. A peerless swordsman did not have exquisite sword techniques, but a heart that was integrated with the sword. This was the so-called Heart Sword. It was the same for forging swords. To forge a good sword, one must first have a heart that could fuse with the sword. Only then could one forge a good sword.
Carefree found another person standing in front of him. He found that this person looked a little different from the others. He wasn't very tall, standing shoulder to shoulder with Carefree. His skin was dark, and he looked very strong from his outline. Carefree saw a trace of respect in his eyes.
"What's your name, brother?" Carefree smiled at the man.”
"Surname Li, name Xiong."
"Where are you from?"
"I'm from Suzhou." The man was obviously puzzled by Carefree. He had never met such an easy-going official like Carefree, so he had a better impression of Carefree.
"Do you have any relatives at home?"
"No, they all died while digging the canal. I'm the only one left.”
Carefree suddenly felt like he was doing a household investigation. At the same time, he was deeply saddened by the suffering of Li Xiong's relatives, so he stopped asking. At this moment, the four people who Carefree had just called to get the materials returned. Carefree rolled up his sleeves and shouted,""Alright, let's begin!"
"The two of you start a fire. Try your best to raise the fire to the highest level!”
"Yes, sir!"
"The two of you, grind the red crystal ore and white crystal ore into powder. Don't use ordinary iron tools, use the hardest transparent crystal ore mill. Grind it into powder and bring it to me."
"Yes, sir!"
"Li Xiong, be my assistant and bring me the model of the dagger!”
"Dagger, didn't you want to forge a sword?”
"I don't have much time left. If I were to forge a sword, I would need three days.”
Actually, this was what Carefree had just thought of. Carefree could actually forge a good sword in six hours, but he suddenly felt that Liu Yue Mei didn't seem to know martial arts, so swords were meaningless to her. But the dagger was different. Firstly, it could be used for self-defense, and secondly, hehe, it could also be used as a token of love or something. Thinking of this, Carefree couldn't help but laugh in his heart.
Heh, I'm smiling proudly, I'm smiling proudly…
Li Xiong naturally did not understand Carefree's intentions, so he took out the model of the dagger.
Carefree looked at the dagger model in his hand and couldn't help but frown. He casually threw the model away and casually said,""Trash."
Li Xiong wanted to pick up the dagger model but was stopped by Carefree.
"There's no need to pick it up. That kind of trash is useless at all. Come, help me build a new model according to what I've drawn.”
Carefree was really fast. In a short while, he had drawn the model of the dagger.
On the drawing paper, there was a willow-shaped mold. The tip of the dagger was a little curved, and the overall beauty was very strong. Even Yuwen Huaji, who was watching from the side, was full of praise.
Thus, Li Xiong followed Carefree's blueprint and built a model in another stove in the Sword-Forging Pool.
Carefree was not idle at this moment. His hands were busy, sometimes urging the fire, sometimes shouting to speed up the grinding of the crystal ore. After dozens of minutes, Carefree was already drenched in sweat.
"It's done!"
"Done!"
Li Xiong and the other two men who were grinding the crystal ore came to Carefree at the same time. Carefree took the model of the dagger and the ground crystal ore and said happily,""Good! Very good. I'll remember your first-class contribution.”
"Thank you, sir!"
Carefree was not a workaholic, but he would be unable to stop himself from doing some of the things he liked. Take forging a sword as an example. Carefree had already made forging a sword a pleasure, let alone forging a dagger for Liu Yue Mei. From a certain perspective, this dagger might really become Carefree and Liu Yue Mei's love token in the future.
However, Carefree seemed to have forgotten something. It was the bracelet on Carefree's hand. Carefree seemed to know a little about the bracelet. He guessed it based on his feeling. He felt that the bracelet might have been made by Yang Guang. One for each person, one for Carefree, and one for Liu Yue Mei. However, Carefree seemed to have seen a bracelet on Liu Yue Mei's hand last time at Returning Goose Restaurant. That bracelet was left behind by Liu Yue Mei's mother and had nothing to do with Carefree.
Who cares? Let's make the dagger first.
Carefree threw away all thoughts and shouted at Li Xiong,""Cast the molten iron!"
