My front door leads to a comic strip

As the blacksmith explained the ore in detail, a look of understanding gradually appeared in Gu Yuan's eyes.

If I remember correctly, such a divine sword did exist in the original story, and it was later imitated by a demon using magic...

Gu Yuan narrowed his eyes slightly, hesitated for two seconds, his gaze swept over the ore before returning to the blacksmith's face, and he slowly spoke:

"I appreciate your kindness, but are you really so sure that I have such a renowned swordsmith behind me?"

"Have you ever considered this? If such a master truly exists, why would I travel thousands of miles to entrust the forging of the Demon Sword to you?"

The blacksmith's words caught in his throat; it was indeed a problem he had deliberately ignored. Of course, it could also be explained by the fact that Gu Yuan had left his hometown.

He was just gambling on a possibility.

In this era of limited information and slow communication, it is better to take the initiative to seek out masters than to passively wait for them to come to you.

Take a deep breath.

"You're right, but even so, I firmly believe he exists."

"Otherwise, where did you obtain the weapon you possess?"

"This is a skill that transcends our time; you can't find a precedent for it even if you search through all the history books."

These words were spoken with force and conviction, and Gu Yuan could only manage a helpless twitch at the corner of his mouth.

The dwarf paused, his tone softening slightly:

"I completely understand your concerns."

"After all, the master craftsman who can forge such a weapon must have already transcended worldly affairs and does not wish to be disturbed by others... How about this?"

He slowly offered a proposal that was based on the current situation and acceptable to both of them:

"Let's set a time to meet, even if it's decades from now, I still have a hundred years to live."

"In the next hundred years, I'll do anything to meet him. In return, you can do whatever you want with this ore."

He felt that as a warrior, it was impossible to resist the temptation of forging an unparalleled divine weapon.

Given the value of that ore, once you actually meet the master, he must give you some face, right?

Of course, there's nothing he can do if they don't give it to him. He's done his best. Trading a thousand gold coins for the possibility of meeting a legend isn't a loss.

Upon hearing this, Gu Yuan slightly raised his head, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.

He was just pondering how to explain this, but now the other party has postponed the meeting to within a century, which greatly relieves his pressure.

We definitely won't be able to meet.

But isn't a century enough time for us to grow and solve this problem?

Gu Yuan almost nonchalantly put the ore into his pocket and nodded in affirmation:

"Okay, I understand. In that case, I will relay these words to him verbatim."

The dwarf's face lit up with joy, and the wrinkles around his eyes smoothed out. Then, his gaze inadvertently fell on the figure of Miliald at the doorway.

Gu Yuan followed his gaze and raised his voice:

"You're here? Perfect timing, I've just finished my business here. Have you bought the map yet?"

Millie Alde nodded slightly and tossed the map over, which Gu Yuan caught and examined.

—For some reason, the location names marked above are in English…

"It's probably thanks to the Two Realms Gate," Gu Yuan muttered to himself.

"That's true. Since time travel has already happened, what's a little language modification?"

He lowered his head again and looked carefully, discovering that they were currently in a place called Galvesga.

This place is located in the lower left corner of the continent, and is 800 miles away from the capital.

Excluding complex terrains such as cliffs, deserts, and volcanic areas, it can be reached in a maximum of ten days, which is the second piece of good news after obtaining the [Light and Heavy Rock].

"Once we arrive in the capital, we'll see what the church headquarters says."

"Just in case, Miliadé should come along, after all, elves were created by the goddess and have a special status."

"Ten sentences from a human being might not be as effective as one sentence from her."

Gu Yuan glanced at Millie Alde, seemingly unintentionally.

Just then, he suddenly saw her take a money pouch out of her bosom and casually toss it to him.

He reached out and caught it, his thoughts interrupted, only to hear her explain, "This is the money for forging your weapons."

"Well……"

Forging weapons? Did you pay for it yourself?

Where does she earn her money?

Upon learning later that the information was obtained through trading, Gu Yuan nodded in understanding.

Just as he was about to say something, the dwarf stepped forward and interrupted him somewhat apologetically:

"Um, this might be a bit inappropriate, but do you have any further requests regarding the forging of the demon sword?"

"For example, design, weight, etc."

I almost forgot about that.

Gu Yuan pondered for a moment, then slowly stated his long-held request: not the common sword shape, but a knife, the heavier the better.

After saying that, he turned around and left the blacksmith shop with Milield, agreeing to come back in three days to pick up the knife.

After finding a reasonably clean-looking inn and tying the dragon up in the backyard, Gu Yuan went into the room, plopped down on the wooden bed, and let out a long sigh of relief.

The Central Continent is truly full of opportunities; even the prized possession of a random blacksmith shop is related to the mythical era.

But... after the excitement, practical problems surfaced.

Who should we ask to forge this divine weapon?

Gu Yuan stroked his chin, lost in thought.

"It seems like you're exaggerating a bit. Modern technology is definitely powerless against this kind of magical mineral."

"If it's handled improperly and messed up, we could lose everything."

"It seems we can only try again after we arrive in the capital."

As the heart and center of a vast empire, the capital city must have gathered the most skilled craftsmen in the country and even the entire continent.

At worst... when Miliarde tastes the Emperor's wine, she can find an opportunity to contact the Emperor, either to cooperate with him or to put pressure on him to help her find it.

—It is believed that no country in the primitive stage could resist the temptation of food.

As he lowered his eyes in thought, Millie Alde's gentle voice rang out in front of him:

"Gu Yuan, are you listening?"

"I heard some rumors when I came here; there seem to be signs of demonic activity in this area. Should we consider taking a detour to avoid them?"

Her eyes betrayed obvious caution.

"The emperor is seventy-two years old this year. If nothing unexpected happens, I will be able to drink the emperor's wine in a few years."

"I don't want any complications at this time."

That makes perfect sense.

However, the more you look forward to it, the more likely you are to be disappointed when you actually taste it.

Gu Yuan slowly raised his eyes, sat up straighter cross-legged, and looked at her, saying:

"You're right, unnecessary danger should be avoided if possible. However, no one knows whether tomorrow or an accident will come first..."

He hesitated for two seconds, then asked:

"You should have mastered the cutting magic by now, right?"

"Would you like me to send you a suitable weapon?"

In fact, Gu Yuan had already prepared for the weapon, knowing that swords and sabers were not suitable for her.

—In the original story, the wand used by the girl named Yubel, which had blades at both ends and could be used for both blocking and thrusting, was quite good.

He had someone order it for him before, and only recently received it.
