Chapter 790: Forging the Sword

Chapter 790: Forging the Sword

Everything was decided in a cheerful manner. Lin Nuo found the former Weapon Master, struck a deal, and prepared the necessary materials to fetch him.

Before long, the astonishing Demon Sword would grace the world; with the right timing, location, and people, everything was secure. This was the best of times, the era belonging to Lin the Villain!

So, Lin Nuo followed the Weapon Master to his workshop for a visit. The place felt familiar; it was small, but the tools and furnaces were neatly arranged.

This craftsman was quite free-spirited—here today, who knows where tomorrow!

Last time was the same; he finished forging a Demon Sword, had it delivered, and then poof! Gone.

But that was no problem. As long as he did a good job, he could wander off wherever.

What struck him most was that ordinary hammer; it looked simple, but with just a single strike, it could shape a flawless weapon.

“Apologies for the simplicity of the place and the lack of hospitality; please have a seat.”

The Weapon Craftsman politely welcomed Lin Nuo, inviting him to sit.

“I won’t sit. I came to confirm your workshop’s location and drop off materials. Let’s make it quick, so we don’t delay anyone.”

Lin Nuo took a few glances and then prepared to leave, aiming for speed: grab the materials, give them to the Master, and get it done.

Even if it was successfully forged, he needed to think about how to take it without anyone noticing.

You can’t just swagger out with it—how silly would that be? “Am I not the Demon Ruler here?”

Thinking back, he had someone deliver materials before, and then they vanished into thin air.

So now, it was time to give him an address, and naturally, the craftsman would deliver it later.

Following the storyline, this was the routine; even if it was ahead of schedule, it should go as planned.

Alright, let’s do it this way.

With that, Lin Nuo dashed off to his secret stash to grab the materials he had prepared for a long time, waiting for this day to come. Always be prepared; now that he found the Master, it was time to act swiftly.

Like the wind, Lin Nuo zipped back to the Master’s workshop, moving as if he were in a hurry to be reborn.

With such a quick in-and-out, rapid as lightning, Lin Nuo, the excellent Villain, showed remarkable execution and efficiency.

Suddenly, he remembered that Su Kexin was still waiting at the restaurant.

Who cares? She shouldn’t be so silly as to keep waiting—she probably got impatient and went shopping for trinkets or clothes. A girl can have a lot of fun shopping all day!

“Sir, you’re really quite fast. Your home must be nearby, right?” asked the Weapon Craftsman.

Upon hearing this, Lin Nuo realized he was hinting at wanting to know his address.

Great, this was unfolding just as he expected; the craftsman would forge the sword and deliver it.

Everything was playing out as planned.

“I live on Shadiao Street, number 233, not far from here. If the Master is interested, you’re welcome to visit my humble place. If you’re looking for Wufan Pai, that’s me.”

“Understood; that is indeed not far. What about the materials?”

“Just these.”

Lin Nuo didn’t play coy; the materials were just Demon Crystals, Demon Herbs, and other common materials for dark arts—ordinary folks wouldn’t usually need these for forging swords.

The craftsman wasn’t surprised; after all, he encountered various people and was well-informed. He had seen and forged enough dark equipment.

Even though Lin Nuo excelled in forging dark weapons, he couldn’t forge a Demon Sword himself.

Every trade has its experts; characters like Su Kexin, as protagonists, aren’t all-powerful; at least she wasn’t very sharp-witted—she primarily relied on brute strength.

“Alright, I understand. I will forge you a splendid sword. Please wait, and I’ll deliver it to your residence.”

“Great! Here’s your compensation; let me know if it’s enough, and if not, I can provide more.”

Lin Nuo vaguely remembered the compensation amount from the previous life, offering a reasonable amount, and the craftsman accepted.

“This is more than enough. Meeting you is quite fated; I’ll carefully forge this sword. May I ask if you have any specific requests for it?”

“Just do as you please; feel free to unleash your creativity. I trust you.”

Lin Nuo replied. In his past life, he hadn’t specified any requests either; he just provided the materials, as the craftsman knew exactly how to create it.

After all, this wasn’t an ordinary craftsman; he had an extraordinary perception, able to assess others at a glance and forge a sword suited to their identity.

Of course, Lin Nuo had also learned about this craftsman’s capabilities from the black market. Even until now, he didn’t know the craftsman’s name—just his surname: Jia.

This Jia was no ordinary person. He was a true Master; Lin Nuo knew well how many lives his Demon Swords had claimed.

With a master like this, specific requests weren’t necessary. Just give him the materials, and he could create a fantastic sword.

In fact, saying too much could backfire and ruin it.

“Thank you for your trust, Sir.”

The two exchanged bows, and Lin Nuo left.

……

At the restaurant.

The guests inside were gradually leaving, and the noise was settling down.

But Su Kexin didn’t move; she was waiting for Lin Nuo to return. Since he told her to stay put, she did just that.

“Miss Su, here are some pastries and drinks for you; enjoy.”

“Ah, Boss, I didn’t order these…”

“They’re on the house. You cultivators often risk your lives to help the weak; that’s quite admirable. For a small restaurant like mine, having you visit is truly an honor. I have little to offer, but it’s a small token of my appreciation.”

“But, Boss, you’ve already waived our meal costs. Running a business isn’t easy either…”

“Don’t worry about it; one or two meals won’t hurt. If I had known that young master was Lin Nuo, I would have treated him well! Alas, I was too busy, and you were too low-key for me to realize it right away. My kids idolize Lin the Knight; they aspire to be heroes like him.”

The Boss wore a fatherly smile. Nowadays, many households considered Lin Nuo a heroic figure, and their kids looked up to him.

Of course, Su Kexin was also thrilled for Lin Nuo; in just a year, he was already famous everywhere.

After a while, Lin Nuo returned, specifically bringing a few oranges.

“Senior Brother, you’re back! Ah, you took a long time; did something happen? Well, it’s good you’re back!”

As soon as Su Kexin saw Lin Nuo, she became excited, circling around him with concern.

“The place was too big; I got lost and took a little detour. Here, oranges. Not bad.”

“Alright, thank you, Senior Brother~”

Su Kexin accepted the oranges Lin Nuo handed her, took a bite, and they were sweet—sweet from her mouth to her heart, leaving her utterly satisfied.

When it came to sharing food, Lin Nuo didn’t care about personal grudges; what he liked, he hoped others would enjoy too.

As it turned out, both he and Su Kexin loved oranges.

If they were both female, it’d definitely be orange gossip!
