v5 Chapter 7: Anxious night

The edge of the canyon.

With dark hair draped over his shoulders, vitality surging in his blue eyes, Makan who put on a neat cherry blossom corset and short skirt stood still here.

Looking at the outside of the canyon, she took a deep breath, then swelled up, stepped out, left the canyon where she had lived for almost six years, and returned to the outside world.

"Leave."

Zhen Gan looked back at the depths of the gorge and at those wooden houses that had remained as clean as new for so many years, showing a lovely smile, and immediately humming a pleasant tune, with two small hands behind his back, jumping flexibly and briskly out of the forest. Go on.

After leaving the forest, what appeared in front was the small town where she had been away for six years.

The town looks more dilapidated than it was six years ago, but you can still see people coming and going, and the level of excitement is not much different than it was six years ago.

Although it is an era of war and poverty, the population has not decreased rapidly because of the openness of sexual culture and an era when simple contraception is impossible.

Many people's families are unable to raise children, but they have no choice but to give birth to one after another. Therefore, many children are driven out of their homes and even sold to traffickers.

Zhenshi looked at the vaguely familiar town ahead, showing a look of nostalgia, and then stretched out a small hand and touched the empty waist.

"Go and forge a sword first..."

Zhen Gan's first goal is clear, she needs a sword.

Feng Ye almost completely stocked her. Except for food and drink, as well as the clothes on her body, Feng Ye did not give her extra help, nor did she give her a sword.

Because Zhen Gan originally had a good mentality of relying on herself, Feng Ye didn't intend to destroy this good thought. The teaching she had always taught her is not to rely on others to survive.

Of course, food was provided for her during sword training, and clothes were provided for her. Otherwise, although no one else would enter his canyon, he would easily develop bad habits when he was naked.

After a while.

Zhen Gan came to the town.

After making a half-circle in the town, she quickly found a blacksmith's shop.

"Yo, lady, do you need anything?"

The boss of the smithy was topless, showing strong muscles. Seeing the neatly dressed real rice walk in, he suddenly smiled and said hello.

In this era, people who can put on clean new clothes are usually not poor people, and there is no doubt that they can afford things.

"I need a sword."

Zhen Gan looked up at the blacksmith boss's opening, with a smile on his face.

Although she has not had contact with anyone other than Feng Ye in six years, her character is not afraid of life, and her swordsmanship has also brought her enough confidence, so she is very calm and unhurried.

"Okay, I can forge what the lady wants, I can forge it if I ask for it. For the material, I have ordinary refined iron and 100-refined steel. The best is this sapphire iron ore, which is expensive. It's a bit."

The blacksmith boss introduced several kinds of iron ore with a smile.

Zhen Gan tilted her head and took out a stone about the size of a fist, glowing with golden light. This was a gold mine she accidentally found when she was practicing swords in the canyon.

"Which one can this be changed?"

Zhen Jian asked.

"Huh... this is very valuable."

The blacksmith boss looked at the gold-bearing ore in Zhen Jian's hand in surprise, and after reaching out to take it, he simply weighed it and distinguished roughly how much gold it contained based on its weight.

"For this weight, it is more than enough to forge a sword from sapphire ore, and I have to find you almost one hundred and fifty silver."

The money is placed in ordinary civilian households, and it will not be spent for ten years. It is undoubtedly impossible to replace it with the previous true rice, but now she just smiled cutely and said: "Then please."

After seeing swordsmanship, money can no longer move her.

"Good Le!"

The blacksmith boss responded heartily.

Seeing that Zhenan was unmoved by so much money, he was also convinced that Zhenan should be the young lady of a wealthy family. As for where the gold mine came from, he knew that he shouldn't ask more.

"It's good to come in five days, and you can take the money."

The blacksmith owner put away the gold mine, found another hundred and fifty silver, and handed it to Zhen Shi.

Zhen Gan took the money, waved and left the smithy.

"A big family..."

The blacksmith boss sighed, saying that so much money is almost his one year's revenue, but Zhen Jian didn't care about it, and didn't even count it.

The more he didn't care about it, the less he dared to raise any other thoughts, and honestly began to build a sword customized for Zhenran according to Zhenran's description.

Five days later.

Zhen Gan got his first steel forged sword.

The sword forged from sapphire ore was blue in color and heavier than she expected, but she could still swing it easily.

"It feels completely different from that of Wooden Sword. It seems that you have to get used to it."

Zhen Gan waved the sword in his hand, and then whispered thoughtfully.

She was able to sever steel with a wooden sword, and now she has a good sword. Whether it is destructive power or the power of swordsmanship, it will be greatly improved, but before that, she has to adapt to being heavier than the wooden sword. Of this weight.

Zhen Gan left the smithy.

After a while.

She came to a small courtyard in the northwest corner of the town.

This is the place she rented temporarily in recent days. I was considering whether to buy it or not. The money was almost enough, but when I thought that I ran out of the money, I didn’t know how to earn it, so I saved some. Temporary rental.

"Master said that my swordsmanship is no better than me in this world, but... Am I really that strong?"

Zhen Gan stood in the middle of the small courtyard, stroking the blue jade sword in his hand and murmured.

She originally believed that she was very strong, but she saw Feng Ye use her broken wooden sword casually to cut out a scene of a deep abyss, and she was a little suspicious of herself.

But those words were what Feng Ye said to her, Feng Ye should not deceive her, if she can now have an opponent who can let her measure her own strength.

never mind.

Don't think so much, let's get used to the new sword as soon as possible.

Zhen Gan shook his head, put the mess of thoughts behind him, and began to exercise.

that's it.

Five days later, Zhen Gan gradually adapted to the weight of the blue jade sword, and gradually integrated his previous exercises to sculpt his own swordsmanship.

After diligently entering the state of spiritual practice, she was almost out of the unexpected realm, practicing both day and night.

The dim black mist enveloped the sky, even the dim moon was covered, Zhen Gan was still standing alone in the small courtyard, waving the sword in his hand.

I don't know when.

She stopped, and looked up at the sky, frowning slightly.

"The sky tonight seems to be filled with a very disturbing atmosphere."

Zhen Shi whispered.

She has reached a certain level of swordsmanship, and can already perceive the breathing of all things. In this state, she can faintly'hear' some unusual sounds and perceive the depressed atmosphere tonight.

This kind of atmosphere was hidden under the curtain of night, so that she could not tell the source for a while, but it gave her a very uncomfortable feeling, which was never encountered before.

Sudden.

As if lightning flashed through my heart.

"This is... the smell of blood!"

Zhen Gan's eyes condensed, and Huo Ran turned his head and looked in a direction in the town.
