Chapter 261

It wasn't dark red (600 degrees Celsius), nor deep red (700 degrees Celsius), but a true orange-red!

Watching this scene, he smiled and asked you, "Is this temperature enough? If not, I can add more."】

"Enough!" Senji Muramasa was greatly shocked. This!! Is this heaven not closing all doors? Could it be... Amaterasu heard his voice and sent someone to help him?

Lin Ye couldn't hear what he was thinking, otherwise, he would definitely tell him loudly: Your Amaterasu... she has lost her tails and is looking for them everywhere right now.

【Day 5: With Lin Ye's help, your forging progress advanced by leaps and bounds! You successfully refined Tamahagane!

Day 6: Clang! Clang! Clang!

The moment the last hammer fell, a cold light illuminated the entire smelting room!

You successfully forged the first Muramasa!

You were overjoyed and showed it to Lin Ye, and you were also prepared to name it with both of your names, calling it "Lin Ye Muramasa," however, Lin Ye did not agree.

He told you, "This is just a small step on your road to success. What he wants is a sword in Ise that has no predecessor and no successor! Although this sword is good, he doesn't need it."

Hearing Lin Ye say this, you nodded silently. You promised him that you would definitely forge the best sword to give to Lin Ye, and then, you named this sword "Senji Muramasa" and gave it to Matsudaira Kiyoyasu.

Matsudaira Kiyoyasu was overjoyed.】

"Lin Ye is right. Although the first sword has commemorative significance, it obviously doesn't represent the level of the two of us. In the future, I must forge the best sword and then name it with both of our names."

Senji Muramasa thought the same. As for this sword... although it couldn't be called a divine artifact, it could cut through hair and slice iron like mud, so giving it to Matsudaira Kiyoyasu would definitely bless him with a victorious return!

【Day 7: Matsudaira Kiyoyasu set out on an expedition. Before he left, he expressed his gratitude to you once again. He told you that after he returned victorious, he would definitely drink with you.

Day 17: News came from the front that in the battle against Oda Nobunaga, Matsudaira Kiyoyasu's weapon, "Senji Muramasa," was snatched away by Oda Nobunaga's retainer, Abe Yashichiro, and he was killed by his own sword.

Matsudaira Kiyoyasu died in battle.】

Senji Muramasa...

No way, old man, are you really that incompetent! You can lose your weapon on the battlefield? And let someone else snatch it and kill you with it?

If you aren't ashamed, I'm ashamed for you!

Then...

【Day 18: You went to the Matsudaira family to pay your respects. Matsudaira Kiyoyasu's son, Matsudaira Hirotada, held your hand tightly and swore to you! He would definitely defeat Oda Nobunaga with his own hands and cut off Abe Yashichiro's head to avenge his father!

However, he recently lacked a handy weapon. Hearing that your forging technique was superb, he wanted to ask you for a handy weapon.

You nodded and agreed.】

Senji Muramasa...

No, who gave you the courage to brag like that? The enemy your father couldn't solve, you, a junior, can? And you want another handy weapon!

What do you think my weapons are! One lost isn't enough, you want a second one!

But thinking of his dead old friend...

Forget it, it doesn't matter.

Anyway, he wanted to forge another sword himself.

Thus...

【Day 19: You found Lin Ye and explained your intention. Hearing that you wanted to forge a sword, Lin Ye also agreed. This time, you prepared to refine the Tamahagane again, so you asked Lin Ye if he could summon a hotter flame!

Lin Ye waved his hand, and golden-orange flames rose!

Temperature! 1200°C!】

【Day 20: Forging!

Day 21: Forging!

Day 22: Forging!

Day 23: Forging!

Day 24: After five days and nights of your hard work! On this day, your latest work was finally completed! Both the appearance and sharpness of this sword were superior to "Senji Muramasa"! You named it "Kuwana-ju Muramasa"!】

"Success! Perfect!"

Senji Muramasa was extremely satisfied! Kuwana-ju Muramasa, this time with this sword, you, Matsudaira Hirotada, shouldn't be able to lose face for me again.

Then...

【Day 73: News came from the front that Matsudaira Hirotada was suddenly assassinated on the front line by his close retainer, Iwamatsu Hachiya, using the Kuwana-ju Muramasa.】

Senji Muramasa...

You Matsudaira family... are you playing with me?
