Chapter 16: Chinese people, just play Chinese sword

Zhou Minhao did not enter the treasury. He claimed that he did not have the authority to do so, so he was only responsible for waiting outside while Emiya visited the inventory.

According to what Emiya had seen, the Zhou family's collection was not magnificent at all, but rather seemed a little deserted, with some shelves actually empty, as if in their eyes not all collections were qualified to be stored in the warehouse.

As it happens, Emiya's focus today is not on those fragile antiques with little room for appreciation, but on famous swords.

“Have they been sorted by age?”

Emiya noticed that the shelves also had dynasties and years recorded in ancient characters, and each collection also had a yellowed booklet recording the history of the collection. Emiya flipped through the nearby ones and saw a record of a swordsmith named Ou Yezi in the Spring and Autumn Period who chiseled open Mount Cishan to release stream water, which was then led to seven pools next to the sword-making furnace, forming a circle around the Big Dipper. This was a master-level casting array that imitated the secret power of the stars and used water as a medium.

After the sword was completed, the swordsmith looked down at the sword, which was like climbing a mountain and looking down into the abyss, which was ethereal and deep, as if a giant dragon was lying... So it was named "Longyuan". Because of the seven-star pattern on the sword, it was also called "Seven-Star Longyuan". This sword was later owned by Li Yuan of the Tang Dynasty, and out of taboo, the sword was renamed "Longquan".

Because the Zhou family's vast collection of treasures was partly inherited from the prosperous Tang Dynasty, this sword eventually fell into the Zhou family's possession. End of record.

"It turned out to be Master Ou Yezi..."

This was a famous swordsmith in the history of Shenzhou. Shirou Emiya immediately focused his attention on the famous sword next to him. The length and weight of the sword were moderate, and there was a round decoration where the sword and the hilt were connected. The width from the sword to the tip gradually narrowed, and it became sharper as it reached the tip.

Now that Emiya had seen the Dragon-Breaking Platform created by Dayu in the mythical era, his vision had improved a lot. In his opinion, although this Longyuan Sword was not as magical as the Dragon-Breaking Platform, its sharpness far exceeded his own sword strengthened with ordinary iron. The seven-star inscription on it emitted a dark and cold light, which obviously lingered with extraordinary magic and function.

Emiya turned his head and took a look at the shelf next to him, which seemed to be the famous works of Master Ou Yezi: Tai'a Sword, Chunjun Sword, Chengying Sword... Wonderful, for him, this place is simply a blessed place for practice.

"Seven Star Dragon Abyss..."

After calming down, Emiya decided to start with the first sword. He reached out and stroked the blade while silently chanting the spell "Synchronize, Start" to hint at himself. This spell was not only a spell to strengthen magic, but also a spell for him to analyze the structure of the sword.

In the final analysis, magic is the application of magical energy. The act of chanting only serves as a suggestion, which is equivalent to pressing a switch to turn on an appliance, or entering a password to open a program. It is a form that does not require regulations and can be personalized.

Immediately, invisible elemental streams swirled and danced, enveloping the Longyuan Sword. All the details of the entire sword, and even the mystery of the Seven Star Inscription, were exposed to Emiya's "eyes". The three-dimensional treasure was transformed into separated elements, symbols, and concepts in the perspective of magic analysis. At that time, the familiar feeling of holding the Dragon Breaking Platform came again - it seemed that as long as he injected magic power, he could release the treasure and activate the power of the Seven Stars of Longyuan.

Although Emiya was eager to try, he decided to give up the opportunity at the moment and focus on practicing projection. After analyzing one piece, he went straight to the next. He left the treasury reluctantly after analyzing all the treasured works of Master Ou Yezi... He decided that it would not be a bad idea to come here every day and accumulate more for projection.

----

In the following days, Shirou Emiya basically spent his time practicing projection.

In addition, due to frequent visits to the Zhou family's treasury, Wei Gong and Zhou Minhao gradually became familiar with each other and competed in martial arts from time to time. Zhou Minhao unexpectedly became proficient in Youshen Baguazhang and Xingyiquan, and even Tongbiquan.

After several rounds of competition, Emiya even found time to ask him if he knew Bajiquan. Zhou Minhao told him the truth, no. In fact, Emiya had considered the possibility of ascending through martial arts. After being buffed by Medea, Soichiro Kuzuki could suppress Altria head-on. In the Great Qin Lostbelt, Li Shuwen's Bajiquan could threaten a young beast like Gao Yanskaya... It can be seen that Type-Moon martial arts has room for improvement. I just don't know how they practiced.

While Emiya was improving his martial arts, Wa-sama's experience in recent times was completely different. She was so busy that she had no feet to touch the ground, even though she didn't have any feet to begin with...

The family business restructuring required her approval for a lot of personnel and projects. The internal executives also had efficiency issues due to the family's adherence to the old system, and she was ordered to change to a modern model, from electronic office to popular etiquette and speech. At the beginning, she almost had to personally take charge of everything, but now the situation has improved a lot.

It has to be said that she had previously thought about getting herself a car and ordering clothes, but these days not only did she not have the time to make arrangements, but all her subordinates had to use the family bus and uniforms.

"...Hey, you said it was caused by this matter. I told them to stop using classical Chinese all the time. We need to be international. Not only foreigners can't understand it, many Chinese people can't understand it either. I have told them many times that the etiquette in formal occasions is to shake hands, not to bow. If someone extends their hand and he doesn't shake it, leaving it there, how embarrassing it will be for the other person..."

Lord Wa finally came over today, and as soon as she opened her mouth she started to dislike her own family.

In his heart, Emiya secretly complained, "Lord Wa, sometimes you like to show off and pretend to speak classical Chinese in front of me." But on the surface, he said, "This situation cannot be solved in a short time. You just need to take care of their formal occasions. Let them do whatever they want in private..."

"Hmph! It's not like I'm so idle that I don't care about their private affairs!" Lord Wa "wrapped" himself on Emiya's back and slapped him with her snake tail to show her opposition.

"So why do you let me carry it again?"

"Why? Do you like others to carry me on their backs?" There was a hint of coldness in Lord Wa's voice.

Emiya choked up, "What are you talking about... Where is Lord Wa going this time? Or is it for guidance on magic circuits?"

The two of them walked towards the main hall as usual. Usually they went there for important business. During the time when Emiya was practicing projection, he was also granted the status of technical guidance for the Zhou family members to start their cultivation journey. At least he had officially started his position as technical director.

But Emiya has said before, don't think you can reach the top right away after you start practicing, magic circuits are different for different people because of their individual characteristics. Especially for the first generation of magicians, it depends more on talent and aptitude.

People like Emiya who are awakened in the first generation are already gifted. Although Toosaka Rin's magic circuits (a total of 100 circuits, and the circuit attributes include the five elements) are even more amazing, she is no longer the first generation.

These days, the tribesmen who participated in the training were singled out and assigned to Emiya's side, and a project team was set up. Old Tang, who had nothing to do except playing StarCraft, also came excitedly to be the deputy.

As for the results so far, it is understandable that none of the people on the project team who have completed the production of the magic circuit have generated magic power comparable to Emiya.

However, Old Tang surprised everyone. The magic power generated by his circuits was so powerful that it was terrifying. He was simply not a human.
