It's not dark red (600 degrees Celsius), nor deep red (700 degrees Celsius), but a true orange-red!
Seeing this, he smiled and asked you, "Is this temperature enough? If not, I can add more."
"Enough!" Senji Muramasa was utterly shocked. This!! Was this a case of "when one door closes, another opens"? Could it be... that Amaterasu heard his voice and sent someone to help him?
Lin Ye couldn't hear what he was thinking, otherwise he would have shouted it out to him. "Your Amaterasu... she's lost her tail and is looking for it everywhere."
[Day 5: With Lin Ye's help, your forging progress has made great strides! You have successfully refined jade steel!]
Day Six: Ding! Ding! Ding!
The moment the final hammer fell, a cold light illuminated the entire smelting chamber!
You have successfully forged the first Muramasa!
You excitedly showed it to Lin Ye, and you even planned to name it after both of you, calling it "Lin Ye Muramasa". However, Lin Ye did not agree.
He tells you, "This is just a small step on your road to success. What he wants is a sword that is unprecedented and unparalleled in all of Ise! This sword may be good, but he doesn't need it."
Hearing Lin Ye say this, you nodded silently. You promised him that you would definitely forge the best sword for Lin Ye. Then, you named the sword "Senji Muramasa" and gave it to Matsudaira Kiyoyasu.
Matsudaira Kiyoshi was overjoyed. ]
"Lin Ye is right. Although the first knife is very memorable, it clearly doesn't represent our skill level. We must forge the best knife in the future and then name it after both of us."
Senji Muramasa thought so too. As for this sword... while it can't be called a divine weapon, it's certainly sharp enough to cut a hair in two and slice through iron like mud. Giving it to Matsudaira Kiyoyasu will surely ensure his triumphant return!
[Day 7: Matsudaira Kiyoyasu has set off for the campaign. Before he leaves, he thanks you once again and tells you that he will definitely have a good drink with you after he returns victorious.]
Day 17: News has arrived that during the battle between Matsudaira Kiyoyasu and Oda Nobunaga, his weapon "Senji Muramasa" was stolen by Oda Nobunaga's retainer, Abe Yashichiro, who then killed him in the process.
Matsudaira Kiyoyasu was killed in battle.
Chiko Muramasa....
Seriously, old man, are you really past your prime?! You lost your weapon on the battlefield? And someone else stole it and killed you?
I'm ashamed for you even if you're not!
Then....
[Day 18: You go to the Matsudaira family to offer condolences. Matsudaira Kiyoyasu's son, Matsudaira Hirotada, holds your hand tightly and swears to you! He will definitely defeat Oda Nobunaga with his own hands and cut off Abe Yashichiro's head to avenge his father!]
However, he is currently lacking a suitable weapon, and having heard of your superb forging skills, he would like to ask you for a suitable weapon.
You nodded in agreement.
Chiko Muramasa....
No way, who gave you the courage to brag like that? Even your father couldn't handle the enemy, but you, a junior, can? And you want another handy weapon too!
What do you take my weapon for?! Losing one wasn't enough, you want a second one too!
But then I thought about my deceased old friend...
Forget it, it doesn’t matter.
Anyway, I wanted to make another knife.
then....
Day 19: You found Lin Ye and explained your purpose. Hearing that you wanted to forge a sword, Lin Ye agreed. This time, you planned to refine the jade steel again, so you asked Lin Ye if he could summon even hotter flames!
Lin Ye waved his hand, and golden-orange flames rose up!
Temperature! 1200℃!
Day 20: Forging a Sword!
Day 21: Forging a sword!
Day 22: Forging a sword!
Day Twenty-Three: Forging a Sword!
Day 24: After five days and five nights of hard work! Your latest creation is finally complete! This knife surpasses "Senji Muramasa" in both appearance and sharpness! You have named it "Kuwana Muramasa"!
"Success! Perfect!"
Senko Muramasa was extremely satisfied! Kuwana Muramasa, with this sword now, Matsudaira Hirotada can't possibly embarrass me again, can he?
Then....
[Day 73: News has arrived from the front lines that Matsudaira Hirotada was suddenly assassinated by his close retainer Iwamatsu Hachiya, Mochikuwa Hashira, Muramasa...]
Chiko Muramasa....
Are you Matsudaira family... playing with me?
Chapter 161 The Demon Sword Muramasa? It's not good enough for me!
Chapter 161 The Demon Sword Muramasa? It's not good enough for me!
Both of them! Both dead! And both by my sword! Are you guys kidding me?!
Senji Village is quite helpless.
[Day 92: The Matsudaira family was ordered to change their surname to Tokugawa, and Tokugawa Ieyasu became the current head of the family.]
Day 133: The Battle of Okehazama breaks out, and Tokugawa Ieyasu and Oda Nobunaga form the Kiyosu Alliance.
Chiko Muramasa....
Good heavens, Tokugawa Ieyasu, you really have no decency at all! You've just formed an alliance with the very man who killed your father and grandfather? What do you think those two are thinking down there?
Senji Muramasa said he didn't want to talk, but the tree may wish to be still, but the wind will not stop.
Day 255: Tokugawa Ieyasu found you and said to you:
"I'm about to go to war, but my son and I are lacking two suitable weapons. I'd like you to help me forge two."
Chiko Muramasa....
Why does this sound so familiar?
Looking at Tokugawa Ieyasu before you, you said to him...
"Once or twice is acceptable, but a third or fourth time is not. I have already forged two powerful weapons for your family, but you have lost them both, so I will not forge any more weapons for you."
Upon hearing this, Tokugawa Ieyasu shook his head.
"That's not right. You're having the Matsudaira family forge weapons; what does that have to do with our Tokugawa family?"
"Um???"
Qianzicun was completely puzzled.
Good grief, what are you doing here?
You wanted to refuse, but seeing Tokugawa Ieyasu being unusually "polite" in front of you, you sighed helplessly and agreed to forge two more swords for them.
Day 273: You arrived at the Tokugawa residence with two newly forged Muramasa swords. You named the two Muramasa swords:
Myojin Kiri Muramasa and Seshu Muramasa
Myojinkiri Muramasa was given to Tokugawa Ieyasu, while Seishu Muramasa was given to Tokugawa Ieyasu's son, Tokugawa Nobuyasu.
Both of them were very fond of their new weapon.
Day 288: Lin Ye left without saying goodbye. Before he left, he left you a letter saying that he was going to find the best metal to forge the best weapon, and that you should not worry.
Watching Lin Ye leave so gracefully, your eyes were filled with envy.
Day 311: The battle ends. On the battlefield, Tokugawa Ieyasu accidentally cuts off one of his fingers while fighting with Muramasa in hand.
Then he returned the knife to you and told you that he would never use it again.
Chiko Muramasa....
What did I say? What did I say?
I've already told you, Tokugawa Ieyasu, that you're no good. Why don't you believe me?
Thinking of this, Senji Muramasa missed the days when Lin Ye was there even more. If he were here, they would be busy forging weapons right now.
"It's a pity I didn't comprehend that Chaotic Cloak Hammer Technique that Lin Ye mentioned. What a shame."
Senji Muramasa still cared about this, as he was quite interested in forging. During this time, he had also learned all sorts of advanced forging knowledge from Lin Ye, and his forging skills had improved significantly.
Did Lin Ye forget to tell me how to bless the sword? This Muramasa is indeed a bit eerie.
[Year 2: You receive news that Oda Nobunaga has been defeated by Toyotomi Hideyoshi. Oda Nobunaga is furious and suspects that Tokugawa Nobuyasu is colluding with the Takeda clan, who are subordinates of Toyotomi Hideyoshi. So she orders Tokugawa Nobuyasu to commit seppuku.]
Tokugawa Nobuyasu did as he was told, and the knife he used to commit seppuku was the Muramasa sword from Seishu that you gave him.
Chiko Muramasa....
