One day passed so quickly. The Shu Imperial palace.
After ushering in the departure of the Kings who would return to their respective Kingdoms, with only the proper appearance of the capital's inhabitants in general, Qin Chen and Liu Yao went around the capital without any escort. Despite being seen without an escort, there was actually Jin Yan and Jin Fan who were doing an escort from a hidden place.
Being in the middle of the capital without anyone knowing their identity, Qin Chen led Liu Yao towards the best blacksmith spot that existed in the capital. Qin Chen knew that place from Jin Fan who had not long ago ordered a sword from that place.
Arriving at the blacksmith's place that turned out not so far from the Imperial palace, Qin Chen and Liu Yao's arrival were greeted kindly by the two men in charge of welcoming the arrival of the customers.
Being inside the building where the blacksmith, Qin Chen and Liu Yao were astonished by all kinds of neatly arranged weapons in that place. Even in some corners of the room there are shields that at first glance are of better quality than those used by Imperial soldiers.
“Welcome Mr and Madam at our place, if we may know, what is the purpose of Mr and Madam to our place? Do you want an existing weapon, or do you want to make a special order?” asked the man who had previously let Qin Chen and Liu Yao into the blacksmith's place.
“I want to do a special order, and I hope you guys can finish my order,” Qin Chen replied with a smile.
“Then Mr and Mrs can wait a while because I have to call the owner of this place to fulfill the wishes of the Master,” said the man then he let the woman who was with him accompany Qin Chen and Liu Yao, while he went to meet the owner of the blacksmith.
Before long the man who had previously returned came with a large, muscular middle-aged man, with a long beard that made his appearance look like an Imperial War General. From the very sight of it, Qin Chen knew that the man was the owner of the blacksmith.
“Dad, this sir who wants to do a special order,” said the same man.
The long-bearded man immediately knelt down after seeing Qin Chen and Liu Yao, puzzling the man and woman who were his sons and daughters.
“Yan Zong saluted His Majesty the Emperor and His Majesty the Empress,” said Yan Zong, the owner of the blacksmith saluted Qin Chen and Liu Yao.
“Uncle Zong rise, my arrival to this place is only to order a sword for me and also for my wife,” Qin Chen replied while helping Yan Zong rise.
Yan Zong immediately got up following Qin Chen's orders. While their sons and daughters still fell silent in shock after knowing who the figure of the Master and Madam they were serving. The two of them did not expect that the Master and Madam were their Emperor and Imperial Empress.
After Yan Zong got up to his feet, Qin Chen began to explain what kind of sword he wanted. “Uncle Zong, can Uncle make me a sword that can withstand the heat? If it is for Yao'er, please Uncle make him a light sword, but it must be strong and sharp,” Qin Chen said his wish.
A wide smile was seen on Yan Zong's lips after hearing Qin Chen's words. He felt what Qin Chen wanted, he already had it.
“Your Majesty can follow me because it seems like I already have the sword Your Majesty wants,” Yan Zong invites.
Qin Chen and Liu Yao then followed Yan Zong into a special room where he stored Yan Zong's masterpiece as the best blacksmith that the Shu Empire had. After being in a special room that contained only a few weapons ranging from spears, swords, whips, arrows, and flavors, Yan Zong showed two swords to Qin Chen and Liu Yao.
The first sword had a sharp blade in red, and its size was very fitting for Qin Chen who prioritized the balance between speed and strength. While the second sword has a sharp blade in blue, and its size is smaller than the first sword. From the size, the sword was a perfect fit for Liu Yao who focused on speed and agility.
“Your Majesty the Emperor, Her Majesty the Empress, servant sense these two swords according to what His Majesty previously desired.”
“The sword with the red blade is lit, besides strong and not too heavy, this sword is also heat resistant. The sword will not melt even though it is inserted into the crater of the volcano.”
“Uncle, can I try it?” qin Chen asked curious about the durability of the sword which he thought was very strong and sturdy.
“Of course, Your Majesty can give it a try,” Yan Zong handed the sword with the red-colored sharp blade to Qin Chen.
As soon as he received and held the sword that Yan Zong had given him, Qin Chen tried to drain the heat from the Sun God Body technique.
Suddenly the temperature in the room increased, but it was still safe for Liu Yao and Yan Zong. However, the overall heat of the sword was in Qin Chen's hand, and it was unusually clear that the sword had not suffered the slightest damage.
Seeing that a wide smile was clearly visible on Qin Chen's face, and he quickly dissipated the heat he let out.
Sensing the room temperature returning to normal, Yan Zong was able to breathe a sigh of relief, whereas Liu Yao she was just acting calm while showing a thin smile behind her veil.
“Uncle, I will buy both,” Qin Chen said very confidently with his choice.
“If Your Majesty is ready, I would like to present the two weapons to His Majesty who has made the Kingdom of Shu return to the era of glory, even at this time the Kingdom had turned into the strongest and largest Empire in the eastern region,” Yan Zong replied.
“Are you sure you gave these two swords to me? Isn't Uncle going to make a big loss by giving all this away for free to me?” qin Chen asked in disbelief that Yan Zong had given him two such incredible swords.
“Hamba is much happier for being able to give gifts directly to His Majesty, rather than receiving payment from His Majesty,” Yan Zong replied.
Qin Chen eventually received both weapons as gifts from Yan Zong, and he could only promise Yan Zong that he would use his reward sword to protect the Shu Empire. It was not only Qin Chen who promised, Liu Yao also said the same promise to Yan Zong.
After a casual chat filled with warmth with Yan Zong, Qin Chen and Liu Yao left Yan Zong's blacksmith.
As soon as Qin Chen and Liu Yao left behind her blacksmith, Yan Zong called her son and daughter. “Yan Ran, Yan Qiqi, tomorrow you go to the palace and hand over this badge to the gatekeeper. By seeing you guys have this badge, they know where to take you,” Yan Zong said as he handed each one a badge to Yan Ran and Yan Qiqi.
“Dad, what badge is this? Why did Dad suddenly give us this badge, and tell us to go to the Imperial palace?” yan Ran asked curiously with the badge Yan Zong gave him.
A smile was seen on Yan's face hearing that. “From tomorrow you will be the personal bodyguards of His Majesty the Emperor and His Majesty the Empress,” replied Yan Zong.
“Become a personal bodyguard of His Majesty the Emperor and His Majesty the Empress?” yan Qiqi exclaimed in surprise.
“Hahahaha... Yes, from tomorrow my son and daughter will be the personal bodyguards of His Majesty the Emperor and His Majesty the Empress,” Yan Zong said in a loud voice, according to Reuters, made everyone in his blacksmith hear what he said.
“Dad, is this the payment for the sword that His Majesty the Emperor and His Majesty the Empress brought? Isn't this payment too expensive?” asked Yan Ran.
“This is all not pay, all this is purely a gift from His Majesty the Emperor because your father managed to please His Majesty the Emperor and His Majesty the Empress,” replied Yan Zong filled with pride at the achievement he just achieved.
