Wow~
A magnificent ship, flying a pirate flag, sailed smoothly on the sea. Three days had passed since the Navy decided to attack Luo Chen and his group. They were now aboard the Isel, heading towards Casting Island. After a while, an island, reflected in the sea under the setting sun, came into view.
"Huh?! We've finally arrived, Captain, we can see it, Casting Island is almost here..." On the bow deck, George stretched out boredly, and as his eyes were still half-closed, he suddenly saw a tiny dot, about the size of a mung bean, projected in the distance. This immediately snapped him to attention, and he reminded Luo Chen and the others who were dozing off against the mast.
"Huh?! Are we almost there?" Hearing George's shout, Luo Chen slowly woke up, rubbed his eyes, and looked at the small green dot in front of him, which was getting bigger and bigger, with a little blurry vision.
"Well, we're almost there, Captain. Everyone, hurry up and get ready. We can rest and relax once we get there!" George nodded to him, then reminded the others.
"Oh, after sailing for several days, we can finally stop on land..." The others, including Monbuma, looked at the Sword-Forging Island Casting Island ahead with eyes full of anticipation and excitement.
"Haha, after logging in, I'm going to go to a bar to relax first, then see if there's anyone I can challenge, to have a match to stretch my muscles!!"
"I need to order supplies for the upcoming voyage!!"
"I want to go shopping!!"
Wait a minute, the group began to share their thoughts, and the ship suddenly became lively.
On Casting Island, in a dark underground location, a shadowy figure answers a Den Den Mushi ) number.
"Moshi Moshi... This is Casting's special reconnaissance organization, codenamed Ibis. What are your instructions?!"
"Ibis, headquarters has an important matter for you. Remember it well and don't overlook anything!!"
"Yes, I will remember it well. May I ask what it is?"
"Yes, the Luo Chen Pirates will be landing in Casting soon, probably within the next few days. I hope you can keep a firm grasp of all the intelligence after their landing, completely track their movements, and remember that they are very powerful, so don't act rashly!"
"Understood. I will keep a close watch on their every move and send the intelligence back to headquarters!"
"Okay, thank you for your hard work. Once this is done, you can be transferred back, promoted, and get a raise!"
"Yes, it is my great honor!"
"Okay, all done, hanging up!!"
Click...
The person on the other end of the Den Den Mushi hung up, plunging the gloomy room into silence once more.
"Hehehehe, Pirate Luo Chen, is it? Although I don't know who you are, guys who can cause such a ruckus in the Holy Land are definitely not easy to deal with. I can't impulsively show myself and fight them head-on. I need to think of a better way..." A chilling laugh echoed through the room. The ibis's sinister and cold laugh made the atmosphere in the room even more terrifying.
"That's it, let's use that one. You came to this island because you broke your sword in the Holy Land and wanted to reforge it. You must be eager to find the most famous swordsmith on the island to help you reforge that sword, right? In that case, we need to make some good arrangements..." Clearly, One Flash inspiration struck him, and he came up with a brilliant idea to deal with Luo Chen. A huge trap, already set and full of life-threatening dangers, was waiting for Luo Chen and his group who were about to arrive, and they were completely unaware of it at the moment.
Returning to the harbor where large ships dock on Casting Island, Isel, under the skillful control of George and his group, slowly sailed in and finally came to a stop. The group disembarked and began their respective activities according to the pre-arranged itinerary and plan.
Meanwhile, Luo Chen, accompanied by Catherine, went to town to inquire about the famous swordsmith.
Bang... Bang... Bang...
As soon as I stepped into the town, the sound of hammering metal rang out.
"This is?! As expected of the most renowned Sword-Forging Island in the New World!!" Upon entering, Luo Chen and Catherine were stunned by the scene before them, gazing at the bustling street lined with blacksmith shops every other shop.
One or two shirtless burly men were either swinging hammers to smash red-hot iron bars, or taking out half-finished blades and constantly sharpening them, while the surrounding area was filled with swords and knives in their sheaths.
"It seems that Sword-Forging Island, which is sung about New World, really does have something special!!"
"What should we do now Luo Chen? Should we go over and inquire?" Even Catherine beside him nodded and said.
"Okay, let's go, come with me and see the craftsmanship of these swordsmiths!" Luo Chen nodded in reply, and then walked directly into a blacksmith shop next door.
"Wait for me..." Seeing him walk forward, Catherine hurriedly followed.
laugh...
Bang... Bang... Bang...
Luo Chen then entered the blacksmith shop. The owner was very focused and seemed unaware of his arrival, continuing to hammer away.
"Uncle, excuse me..." Seeing how focused he was, Luo Chen didn't immediately speak to disturb him. He waited until the iron rod in his hand had been smashed into a thin, long piece, and he put down the hammer to rest for a while before speaking.
"Huh?! Who are you?!" Hearing Luo Chen's question, the burly blacksmith naturally heard him and turned around. Seeing Luo Chen and Catherine standing there for an unknown amount of time, the burly man couldn't help but ask.
"Oh, hello uncle, we are tourists from out of town. We want to have a sword reforged here, so we came to ask you who has the best sword-making skills on this island, and see if you can reforge it!" As soon as he asked the question, Luo Chen directly stated his purpose.
"Reforging swords? If it's just an ordinary sword, any swordsmith on this island can do it. But for a famous Famous Sword, you need a master with a long-standing tradition and exquisite skills. Let me see your sword first!" The man didn't answer Luo Chen immediately. He scratched his head and thought for a moment before speaking.
"Oh, here you go..." Hearing this, Luo Chen naturally wouldn't make a fool of himself by continuing to ask questions, and directly handed over the Rain Burial from his waist along with its scabbard.
"Hmm?? This pattern, the texture, seems somewhat familiar!" As soon as he took the Rain Burial, the big man did not immediately draw it to examine it. Instead, he carefully examined the patterns carved on the scabbard and said, feeling that they were somewhat familiar.
"Familiar?! Do you recognize this knife?" Luo Chen asked, somewhat puzzled by his words.
"Hmm, the only swords that feel familiar to me are those famous treasured blades. Kid, are you saying your sword is also a Famous Sword?!" The burly man examined it for a while before replying.
Luo Chen nodded and continued, "Indeed, it is a Famous Sword. You can take a look and see which one it is!"
"Hehehe, is that so? Then this old man will have to take a good look. After all, a famous treasured sword is not such a common thing!" Hearing Luo Chen's words, the swordsmith became even more interested. He slowly drew the blade, but before he even reached the broken part, he was stunned by the sword.
