Tianyue King City, the White Snow Palace deep in the palace, the former queen's palace, and the current cold palace in the back hall, within the dilapidated facade is the final destination of light...
Dongfang Xueer was lying on a desk, with a stack of books on the Law of Light on the corner of the desk. That was this month's supply, a total of 50,000 copies. A eunuch would pick it up after the second half of the month.
On the other side of the corner of the table, there was a brochure bag, which Dongfang Fan personally handed to Dongfang Xueer before she left Yamato City. At this time, the brochure bag had been opened, but the note inside was missing -
Dongfang Xueer couldn't remember when she opened the bag of tips, but she couldn't forget a word of what was written on the note.
"Brother..." Dongfang Xueer looked at the kit in trance. The name in her mouth could no longer identify which person she was calling. She couldn't even tell who was true and who was false, who was right and who was wrong.
There is no trace of blood on the pale face, and the blurred eyes gradually lose the ability to distinguish the things in front of them. The cold air around them oppresses the most innocent victim, ruthlessly, speechless, unintentionally, unintentionally...
…
The first month after Dongfang Fan came to the royal capital has passed. He usually lives in seclusion, except for being occasionally harassed with promises to learn swordsmanship. He rarely has contact with outsiders. However, he is already a famous person in the East District.
He has a small reputation, and is also famous for the "Sword Smithy" where he works.
The business style of the Sword Blacksmith Shop is rather special. It only sells "swords" here. With the promise as the best promotion endorsement, people in the royal capital have a lot of interest in "new weapons" such as swords. There are also other
The blacksmith shop imitated the "sword", but it could not surpass the original sword blacksmith shop in terms of craftsmanship.
Many blacksmiths came to the Sword Smithy to seek instruction. Dongfang Fan did not hide anything and allowed all the blacksmiths who came to seek instruction to see the entire process of making swords. Many civilian blacksmiths were moved by his generosity and immediately organized into a group.
The relatively large blacksmiths' guild elected Dongfang Fan as the president of the guild. Of course, Dongfang Fan's name is still "Mr. Dongfang". Otherwise, running around in the royal capital under his real name will inevitably attract the attention of the imperial court.
Faced with the eager invitations of the blacksmiths, Dongfang Fan had no choice but to agree. In this way, the blacksmiths raised funds to establish a blacksmith guild in the heart of the royal capital. The rise of this guild once again set off a craze for traditional casting.
Although the skill of making swords is no longer a secret, the swords made by Dongfang Fan are still fundamentally more perfect and exquisite than other blacksmiths. The natural atmosphere of the sword body makes people recognize the sword at the first sight.
The difference between a sword and a sword.
Because of this, many dynasty officials and nobles would spend a lot of money to invite Dongfang Fan to make swords for them, but Dongfang Fan might not accept the invitation.
Half a year passed like this. During this period, the dynasty also recruited Dongfang Fan to join the dynasty as an official, but he was declined on the grounds that he was "incompetent and focused on making swords." This made the blacksmiths of the Blacksmith Guild feel even more like a blacksmith.
His unyielding character: After all, how many people in the world can be indifferent to the power of the dynasty?
At the same time, the name "Mr. Dongfang" began to enjoy quite a reputation in the royal capital, but very few people had actually seen him. Moreover, although Dongfang Fan held the position of president of the Blacksmith Guild, he did not wield the sword.
Although the blacksmith shop was expanded and renovated, the simple and simple blacksmith shop in the East District is still a holy place for sword making that is highly respected by blacksmiths.
On this day, a high-ranking official from the imperial dynasty came to the Sword Smithy, and with him was a man who was no stranger to Dongfang Fan - Jin Feng, the deputy general of the Golden Dragon Army.
As for that high-ranking official, speaking of it, this was not the first time Dongfang Fan had met him: Xu Peng, Xu Nuo's father, the chief diplomat of the Tianyue Dynasty, once invited Dongfang Fan to the Xu family in order to thank Dongfang Fan for the sword.
Attend a banquet.
"Mr. Dongfang, I didn't expect that half a year had passed since the last time we met. I wanted to visit as soon as possible, but because the Golden Dragon Army was busy with military affairs, I couldn't get away. Please forgive me." When Jin Feng saw Dongfang Fan, he immediately greeted Dongfang Fan with a smile.
Dongfang Fan's respect does not come from Dongfang Fan's current name as the president of the Blacksmith Guild, but because of the amazing strength he saw on the subway.
"It's just a trivial matter, General Jin doesn't need to worry about it... On the contrary, Mr. Xu and General Jin came to the house this time. I don't think it's for personal reasons... If it happened last time, I don't need to talk about it. I really have no intention of governing...
"The "last thing" that Dongfang Fan mentioned was the dynasty's recruitment of him as an official. Xu Peng came to recruit him at that time.
"Haha, Mr. Dongfang misunderstood. The thing is like this. In the near future, the invasion of white ghosts in the edge cities has become more and more serious. Basically, all the middle and upper-level combat forces in the royal capital have gone out to fight. This has caused the Royal Academy to have a shortage of teachers.
Regarding the situation, I learned from Lieutenant General Jin Feng that Mr. Dongfang also has a considerable degree of martial arts, so I want to invite you to teach in the academy. When Nuoer heard the news, she also strongly recommended you, saying that the swordsmanship she is using now is in
What you learned here..." Xu Peng said with a smile. This man has a gentle personality and never uses his official position to demonstrate. Moreover, from the introduction of Xu and several interactions in the past six months, he knows that this young man Dongfang Fan is an unscrupulous person.
The aloof and arrogant Zangzi was admired by him very much.
"Huh? Teach?" Dongfang Fan said suspiciously.
"Yes, I am here this time to invite you to accept the employment of Tianyue Royal Academy. I hope that you can teach the students of the academy as a martial arts teacher. The imperial court will provide you with the highest salary as a retainer, and only requires you to open an application every month.
Fifteen classes, and the start time is decided by you. This kind of treatment can be said to be unprecedentedly superior in the college." Xu Peng believed that under such conditions, no one could refuse.
After hearing this, Dongfang Fan had two worries in his mind: First, the dynasty would only offer him such superior employment conditions. Could it be that someone in the dynasty had already recognized his identity? Second, Yue Chongsheng was originally the
His student turned out to be the most trusted student who betrayed him at the most critical moment. With such a precedent, can he still be a teacher?
"Sorry, please forgive me for not taking this position." Dongfang Fan shook his head and refused, which made Xu Peng stunned for a moment.
"Why? I can't think of any reason for you to refuse..."
"Because people like me are not qualified to be a mentor to teach others... I'm sorry, I'm sorry..." After finishing speaking, Dongfang Fan returned to the foundry...
Late at night, Ma Fan came to the casting room. Dongfang Fan was not forging anything at this time, but was sitting by the casting table, in a rare daze.
"You said...why I could feel happy when I was in Japan...why did I start to feel depressed, heavy and sad as soon as I returned to this land? Did my heart stay in Japan?" Dongfang
Fan naturally noticed that someone had come in and asked awkwardly.
"As a guest in Japan, you do as you please. It's not that you feel happy, but that no one or thing there can make you sad... But now, we are in our homeland, so the prosperity of our homeland is no longer there.
And depression will be heavy because of the deep sorrow of old friends, and it will be sad because of the repetition of stories. All this is just because your heart has moved... just like my heart... has also moved..." Ma Fan stared firmly with his eyes.
Looking at Dongfang Fan, he was obviously more impatient than when he was in Japan.
"Well said... so well said that even I couldn't help but want to applaud... However, my answer is still the same - no." Dongfang Fan stood up, looked directly at Ma Fan, and replied without any doubt.
"You're lying to me... you've been lying to me all this time! When you first took me to Japan, you didn't tell me the whereabouts and situation of my grandparents... Now that I'm back here, I already know who killed my grandma.
Why don't you let me kill him?! You keep saying you can't be impulsive...you keep saying the time hasn't come yet...in fact, you are basically lying to me! You have no intention of helping me get revenge!!" Ma Fan shouted and cried.
, she knew that Dongfang Fan was not to blame for all this, but she could only find Dongfang Fan as the object of venting.
After Ma Fan inherited the Ghost Eye, he already fully understood what happened to Ma Chengyun. Back in Japan, across the huge ocean, even if he had murderous intentions in his heart, he could not act out.
During the six months since he entered Tianyue King's Capital, Ma Fan had talked to Dongfang Fan more than once, all about his idea of assassinating Yue Chongsheng, but every time he was rejected by Dongfang Fan.
When Ma Fan was born, her parents were gone. Her grandparents were everything to her, and now, Ma Chengyun was the only relative left. Whether it was to rescue Ma Chengyun from the sea of misery or to avenge her grandmother, Ma Fan couldn't wait.
I want to kill Yue Chongsheng and then do it quickly!
"You can't kill him now... Even I... can't say that I'm 99% sure... If you can't bear it, you will only end up destroying yourself in your impatience... Do what you need to do now
, what is most important to you... Just like now, I can only forge a sword of revenge for you... instead of accepting your ridiculous ideas..." Dongfang Fan was not moved by Ma Fan's words.
shake.
"I will accept the recruitment of students from the Imperial City and go to the academy to be a tutor. If you are willing, please accompany me there...perhaps, we can collect more information you want, as well as...the opportunity to contact Yue Chongsheng..." Dongfang Fan
After saying that, he started forging again, while Ma Fan sat in the corner, thinking about the past amidst the sound of forging...
…
In the Tianyue Palace, the eldest prince Yue Tianjiao finally woke up after sleeping for half a year. Half a year ago, the three princes disappeared and were finally found fainted outside the old Tianya site on the third day. After that, the three princes
He had been sleeping until today. The eldest prince woke up first, and within half an hour, the other two princes also woke up one after another.
The next day, Dongfang Fan stood neatly at the entrance of the Royal Academy, followed by a sword boy holding a sword, it was Ma Fan.
