The Night King: The Asura
Ch-34s. Sword-making
"Can you make a sword out of this thing?" asked Lin Feng while taking out a chunk of meteor rock from his storage ring.
Hong Jun widened his gaze, "A-what is this chunk of meteor?" hong Jun asked making sure.
Lin Feng nodded slowly, "So can you bear a sword from this thing? If it can't be better..."
"Look, I can make it, but it's not cheap!"
Lin Feng took out a small wooden box from his storage ring and directly exposed the contents to Hong Jun, "There are a thousand pieces of platinum coins inside this box, and there are a thousand pieces of platinum coins inside, if you can really make a sword the way I want, then I'll add another thousand platinum coins."
"Se-thousand?"
Lin Feng paid no heed to the shock shown by Hong Jun, he then explained regarding the sword he wanted. The sword he wanted to make this time was almost like the sword of the Asura God, it was just that this sword had a blade slightly larger than the sword of the Asura God.
"Young Master, I've never made or seen such a sword, so it's a bit difficult for me to make one, but if Young Master has an example, maybe I can finish it quickly" hong Jun.
Lin Feng then took out the Asura God sword from his storage ring, then he showed the sword to Hong Jun, "The sword I want is the same as this, but with a slightly larger blade."
As an expert in making weapons, especially swords, Hong Jun looked very admiring of the sword shown by Lin Feng, the blade of which was small and had only one sharp piece, making the sword look like it has its own characteristics and has never existed before.
However, after watching the sword for a long time, Hong Jun noticed the oddity of the sword, the article, ranging from the hilt to the blade of the sword looked like it was made of wood, but because of its excellent manufacture, it will be difficult to distinguish whether the sword is really made of wood or not.
"Young Master, I don't mean to be presumptuous, but is this Young Master's sword made of wood?" ask Hong Jun.
"You're right, this sword is indeed made of wood" replied Lin Feng.
"What?!" neither Hong Jun nor Emperor Song, both of them were completely shocked and could not believe what they had just heard.
"Master Lin, are you serious?" ask emperor Song.
"Young Master, can I hold it for a second?"
"No problem but..."
"You don't need to worry, I just want to make sure what kind of wood is used to make this sword" Hong Jun said.
Right now, Hong Jun was already fifty years old, and had already worked as a blacksmith for thirty more years, which meant, that is, he had been making various weapons and armor for more than half his life, and during that time, he had never heard of anyone making a sword out of wood, except for a sword for training.
However, after seeing the shape of the sword, Hong Jun was very confident that it was not a sword used for training, but a sword used in real combat, therefore, it was not a sword used for training, Hong Jun was very curious and wanted to know the type of wood used.
"Alright, but don't blame me if anything happens to your hand" said Lin Feng then handed over his sword.
"Just relax, I've been making swords for over thirty years and no one has ever been able to hurt my hand" he said arrogantly, then grabbed the handle of the sword.
"Right, then I don't have to worry anymore" said Lin Feng, then let go of his hand.
"Th-this is impossible!"
"Hong Jun, what happened?"
"Hurry and help me, my hand is pinched!"
Emperor Song furrowed his brows at Hong Jun's words, "What do you mean? How could your hand be squeezed by this little sword?"
"Don't ask too many questions, help me lift it up or my fingers will crumble!"
Although still confused and clueless as to what had happened, Emperor Song still helped Hong Jun to release his hand, but just as he was about to try to raise the sword, the Song emperor still helped Hong Jun to release his hand, only then did he realize that the little sword turned out to be much heavier than his shadow.
Unable to use force, the two then used spiritual energy to increase their strength, but the result was still the same and the sword still did not move even a little from its place, in fact, their maximum strength remained unable to make the sword move in the slightest.
"How, is it still possible?"
"Lord Lin, are you sure this sword is made of wood?"
"This sword was indeed made using wood, but not ordinary wood" Lin Feng replied, then grabbed the Asura God sword and raised it very easily.
"Araghh! My hand would have been destroyed if it had not been removed immediately" Hong Jun said.
"So, do you still want to make a sword for me?"
"Of course, and I assure you the sword I will make will be much better than your sword!"
"Hong Jun, your arrogance is too great, and you need to know, no matter how great your skill in making swords, you will still not be able to match this sword" said Lin Feng.
"Cihh, we'll see!"
Although he was upset that his hand hurt from Lin Feng's sword, it didn't mean that Hong Jun refused to make a sword for Lin Feng, because two thousand pieces of platinum coins was a very tempting payment for him, and all this time he had never received that much pay.
Besides, Hong Jun also felt challenged to make a sword that was better than Lin Feng's wooden sword, although actually he himself is not sure whether he can really make a sword that is more than that or not, but certainly, he will try to use all his abilities and experience.
"So, when will my sword be finished?" asked Lin Feng.
"Give me seven days, and I guarantee you'll get a satisfactory result!"
"Alright, if the result is satisfactory, then I will add another thousand platinum coins, but if not, the fee you will get is only two thousand!" sahut Lin Feng's.
"Hahahaha, you take it easy, I never let anyone down in making weapons!"
After their affairs there were over, emperor Song then invited Lin Feng to return to the imperial palace, but Lin Feng refused on the grounds that he wanted to tour the imperial city, instead, he also said he still has to do something very important.
