Chapter 66 Ruoli Great Sword
"Oh, I have some impression of this name!"
"What's your name... Weakling Ruoli?"
After listening to Zhongli's explanation, Liu Bai finally remembered the name, and then said this after thinking for a while.
"?"
The girl, who changed her name to Ruoli, immediately stood up her tail upon hearing this, and wanted to go up and fight with Liu Bai with her teeth bared, but was stopped by Zhongli.
"That's called being close yet distant..."
Nashida on the side reminded quietly.
In this way, the group of four quickly arrived at the Hall of All Peoples.
Except for Ruoli, everyone is quite familiar with Xiangling. Upon learning that Zhongli was going to give a farewell gift to Liu Bai, Xiangling promised seriously that she would cook the most perfect meal.
Then Xiangling picked up Guoba, who was somewhat happy and approached Zhongli and Ruoli, and dragged him to the kitchen to help.
"That bear looked familiar. What's your impression of it, Lao Deng?"
After Guoba was pulled away by Xiangling, Ruoli touched her chin and thought, but her memory had not recovered that much, she just felt that it looked very familiar.
"Maybe it's an old friend you knew before."
Zhongli had a smile on his face, but he didn't say too much detail. After all, Ruoli wouldn't be able to remember it even if he did.
Soon, this extremely sumptuous meal was served on the table. Xiangling seemed to have deliberately put a little more on each dish, making the portions look very sufficient.
"..."
Looking at the sumptuous meal, Ruoli, who had rarely eaten human food, couldn't help drooling. She, who had barely learned how to use chopsticks last time, was the first to move, and Zhongli had no time to stop her.
"Haha, both of you should start eating."
Shaking his head helplessly, Zhongli spoke to Liu Bai and Nashida.
……
This sumptuous dinner made Liu Bai and Nashida very satisfied, while Ruoli showed her appetite as a rock dragon and finished up the remaining food.
"Master Mao, please send the bill for this meal to Wangsheng Hall."
After eating and drinking, Zhongli stood up and went to Master Mao, the boss of Wanmin Hall, to say something.
"okay."
Master Mao was quite familiar with Zhongli and nodded without hesitation.
"After settling the bill," Zhongli returned to Liu Bai and Nashida, only to find that Ruoli had disappeared.
"Where's Ruoli?"
Zhongli had no choice but to ask Liu Bai.
"She said she had to go to the bathroom for a quickie."
Liu Bai answered truthfully. She said this after listening to Nashida's words.
"..."
The ancestor of earth dragons also needs to go to the toilet? Zhongli had never heard of it...
In order to prevent Ruoli from getting into trouble, the three of them had to leave Wanmin Hall together and began to search the surroundings.
At the same time, Hanfeng Ironware.
"No, no, you're hitting it wrong. The way you're hitting it is wrong, and you're not holding the hammer properly. Look, you're not hitting the iron properly."
"..."
There was a little girl pointing and talking around him, and the blacksmith Old Zhang was getting more and more angry because his work was interrupted.
"Little sister...where are your parents? Ask them to come and take you home. Don't disturb your uncle from working here, okay?"
It was not easy to get angry in front of a little girl, so Old Zhang had to suppress the anger in his body and spoke to Ruoli with a somewhat forced smile.
"What parents? I don't have any parents."
"Hey, you were right to listen to me. It's wrong to use force like this!"
Ruoli spread her hands and continued to instruct Lao Zhang.
"…Hey, you little kid, can you hold a hammer and teach me here?"
Old Zhang was so annoyed that he couldn't knock any more, so he had to ask Ruoli.
"Why can't I carry it? Bring it here, bring it here."
Ruoli straightened her chest, swept her tail gently behind her, and then stretched out a hand towards Lao Zhang.
"Hmph, be careful not to hit yourself."
Old Zhang looked at her and tried to hand her the hammer in his hand.
However, Lao Zhang did not dare to relax. After giving him the hammer, he immediately put one hand below to catch it.
However, contrary to Lao Zhang's expectations, Ruoli actually grabbed the hammer easily and weighed it twice in his hand.
"No, no, this is too light."
As she spoke, Ruoli threw the hammer behind her and it fell into the scrap pile.
Just when Lao Zhang was a little angry because Ruoli threw away his "good friend", Ruoli condensed the elemental power of rock in his hands and quickly assembled it into a rock hammer.
Then, under Old Zhang's shocked gaze, Ruoli picked up a few pieces of high-quality tin nearby and threw them into the air.
"Wow~"
Ruoli opened her mouth and spit out extremely raging fire, which instantly gushed out and melted several blocks of tin in the air. Then the flame turned into a palm that lifted up the melted tin and placed it on the forging table.
"Look, for mortals, the force should start from the soles of the feet, so that the strength of the whole body can be mobilized."
Under Old Zhang's stunned gaze, Ruoli danced with the rock hammer in her hand, hitting the iron block on the forging table with a bang. Her force-generating posture was very consistent and smooth, and even in a little girl, one could see the beauty of strength.
Not long after, a two-handed sword gradually took shape under Ruoli's forging.
Finally, with the help of the elemental force absorbed by Ruoli, the greatsword completed the final quenching, leaving some mysterious-looking patterns on its surface.
“Hahaha, even though it’s just a casual creation, the quality looks pretty good. It’s a pity that the material is a little inferior. It would be better if it was replaced with the flesh and blood of Zhongli Laodeng. But no matter what, I’ll call you Ruoli Greatsword from now on.”
Having successfully forged a weapon, Ruoli felt happier than ever in thousands of years. She was even happier than when she escaped from the seal.
"Immortal, Immortal, please accept the greetings of Old Zhang, the blacksmith from the mortal world! Thank you for your guidance!"
When he came to his senses, Lao Zhang's first reaction was that the girl in front of him was an immortal, and he knelt down and kowtowed without hesitation.
He never thought that an honest blacksmith like him would one day meet his immortal lover. Fate is truly beyond words!
"Yes, you are quite perceptive. Remember what I just taught you. I will come back to inspect in a few days."
Seeing that the other party was so smart, Ruoli nodded with satisfaction.
"Yes, Immortal, take care!"
Old Zhang respectfully saw Ruoli off.
Although the "Ruoli Greatsword" in her hand was not a useful magic weapon, it was the first weapon she forged after escaping from the predicament. Ruoli held it and left Hanfeng Ironware.
As soon as she walked out, a hand reached out and lifted Ruoli into the air.
"Next time, you are not allowed to use elemental power carelessly in Liyue Harbor."
Zhongli picked up Ruoli and gave her instructions.
"Got it, Lao Deng, put me down!"
Being lifted into the air again, Ruoli spoke with dissatisfaction.
After finding Ruoli, the group of four returned to the Wangsheng Hall.
"It's getting late, good night, Brother Zhongli."
"Goodbye~"
They parted at the door of the Hall of Rebirth, and Liu Bai and Nashida waved goodbye to Zhongli.
……
After returning to the house, Liu Bai thought about resting for a while, taking a shower and going to bed, so he simply sat down next to Nashida and picked up the book that Nashida had not read and started reading it.
"Hey, why are you reading a book?"
Nashida was a little surprised. This was the first time she saw Liu Bai interested in books. He had refused to even look at them before.
"Because we are going to Xumi soon."
"Didn't you say that if you don't have enough knowledge in Xumi, you will go to jail. I have to take this opportunity to make up for it, otherwise what will I do if I am sentenced to life imprisonment?"
Liu Bai answered seriously, and then looked at the book in his hand carefully.
"But the book you're reading is a martial arts novel..."
Looking at the title "Records of the Swordsman" on the cover, Nashida gave a somewhat helpless reminder.
