The Legend Of Lightning Warriors
The City of Iron Wood
"That's Shui'er, don't be sad anymore. I understand how you feel, but you also have to remember that what senior did was for the good of all of us" Cun Fei said as he rubbed Shin Shui's shoulders.
Perhaps this was an embarrassing incident, a powerful and ruthless swordsman turned out to be able to cry. But Shin Shui didn't care about it, anyone in a position like himself would cry, Shin Shui thought.
After a moment of crying, the young man was finally able to stop his tears. But the look on Shin Shui's face still portrayed a deep sadness.
"Stop being sad Shui'er. 'There's no point in you getting too late in your grief, 'cause things won't change what's happened'. Better now prove that you can be what senior expects. Even more and better," said Cun Fei
"You're right, senior. Thank you for reminding me, I promise I will be better than I am now. I will make the teacher proud of me if one day they meet again" Shin Shui replied.
Finally Cun Fei could be relieved after Shin Shui understood about everything. Although the expression of sadness had not disappeared from his handsome face, but at least that sadness could be adorned with a slight smile, Cun Fei thought.
"That's the new name of the Thunder Swordsman the disciple of the Thunder Swordsman and the owner of the Golden Dragon Sword. Hahaha ..." Cun Fei tried to melt that awkward atmosphere.
Shin Shui replied with a meaningful smile, after seeing that his master could smile, Cun Fei immediately turned back into a sword.
Shin Shui was already feeling calm now, he would immediately continue his journey that had been delayed. 'Teacher, the disciple promised to be the one that the teacher expected. Even if we cannot meet, but the name of the teacher will always be recorded in the heart and life history of the student.' Inner Shin Shui while stepping his feet.
Not feeling, the young man had walked for several hours. It was already afternoon, Shin Shui had already walked through several villages. So far there is no significant obstacle for him.
"Hemmm... It was late afternoon, my stomach was whining to be filled. I have to find a restaurant now, I'm sure there's a restaurant in front of me." Shin Shui muttered as he walked slowly.
Shin Shui paused for a moment, he read the writing that was on a gate. Without Shin Shui realizing it, the young man had already walked even further and had now entered a new City. On the gate was written the name "Iron Wood City".
"Hemmm... Iron Wood City? Interesting name, I will try to explore this village." Shin Shui said.
He was a little surprised when he read the nameplate on the gate. According to Shin Shui the name of the village was a little unique, but without a second thought the young man immediately entered the Iron Wood City.
The atmosphere there was very crowded, on the roadside a lot of people who traded. Street lights look beautiful colorful, seen a young man wearing all blue clothes was walking casually while enjoying the atmosphere.
Exactly, the young man was Shin Shui the Thunderbolt Swordsman. He was looking for a restaurant or an inn. 'This city is so crowded. Even though it's late but there are still many traders here. Are there any entertainment events at the moment?" shin Shui said slowly.
According to Shin Shui, this atmosphere is usually caused by an event or celebration that is taking place at the place.
Because Iron Wood City was a big city, so Shin Shui had no trouble finding a place to eat or lodging. In front about 50 meters away from his current position, Shin Shui found a restaurant packed with visitors. Without waiting for long, he headed straight for it.
"Welcome to the young master's Black Wood Restaurant. Please come in."
One of the women welcomed Shin Shui's arrival. The young man immediately entered. The atmosphere of the Black Wood Restaurant was very crowded, almost the entire table was fully filled. Only a few of them look empty.
The servant immediately went to prepare what Shin Shui ordered. About fifteen minutes later, the food and wine he ordered had arrived.
"Please young master. It's the best food in the restaurant" said the waiter.
The food was filled with spices, the fragrance immediately smelled from the food. Feeling hungry, Shin Shui immediately ate it.
In just a few minutes, the food was gone. Now Shun Shui was relaxing as usual accompanied by a jar of wine.
Although in a state of relaxation, but still he said watching the circumstances around. For Shin Shui, evil knows neither time nor place.
After a while, a bayah man approached Shin Shui to sit with him, because the other seat was fully filled.
"May the old man sit down?" asked the middle-aged man to Shin Shui.
"Sure senior, please sit down. Let's have a drink together," Shin Shui replied with a gentle smile.
The old man immediately sat down after obtaining permission from Shin Shui. Because Shin Shui realized that he was curious about the crowd, he immediately asked the old man who was now sitting nearby.
"Sorry senior, if I may know what event is actually here? Why are there so many people. It was already night" asked Shin Shui.
"Oh this .. You are not from here as it turns out, so do not know the important event that will take place. Well let this old man explain, the reason why many people even though it's late is because there will be a celebration of the lunar eclipse welcoming."
"Here especially in the city of Kayu Besi, every lunar eclipse of local residents will definitely hold a welcome like this. The lunar eclipse event took place about two years ago. It aims to reject the reinforcements, the opening event usually the residents will light fireworks. While the last show is giving offerings of some girls."
"Oh so ... eh tu-wait, the offering of girls? Wh-wh-what for? Isn't that the wrong move?" ask Shin Shui. He felt a little strange when the old man explained at the end of the event that a girl worship would be held.
"True, the citizens will give a girl offering. Usually the girl who will be presented is a girl who is bought from another city. If during the lunar eclipse there is no event like this, then the Iron Wood city will get a disaster. Some time ago the residents did not do something like this, the result was hundreds of people were killed horribly." explained the middle-aged man again.
"Hemmm .. I felt something strange. Where will the worship service be held?" ask Shin Shui again.
"In the square of the Iron Wood City, there is an altar large enough as a place for his offering" replied the old man.
"Alright, thanks senior for explaining. Later I will also attend the welcoming event of the lunar eclipse" said Shin Shui.
Actually he was still astonished by what the old man described, but Shin Shui chose not to ask any further.
