The Pembarker of Eternity

CHAPT 24'S. The 9 Star Night Sky Sword

Breezy wind blew between the trees, the dense forest extended to reveal an island like a large enough in the middle of a small lake, there was a residence that was still sturdy, and, it was so quiet before the sound of horse footsteps knocked in the distance all the way here.

"I knew you were coming"

"Junior salutes senior"

"Lai lai lai let's go in first, I've been waiting for you since"

'Since then?'

The senior swordsman immediately preceded Xiao Shan into his residence.

Upon entering, the feeling that Xiao Shan was so familiar with was very much like when one month ago in the room in the cave of the senior swordsman.

The expensive interiors that were all made of forged iron were extremely beautiful filling almost half the room.

Actually this raised a question in Xiao Shan's mind, how could this much stuff be brought here.

Because as Xiao Shan remembered, there were only 3 warriors who were sent to pick up the senior swordsman. It would take at least over 30 people to move all of those items.

But given his position, he did not want to ask that question and preferred to ask something else.

"How's senior? is this place comfortable?" Xiao Shan opened the conversation.

"You want me to stand up to answer your question?" Flat expression.

Xiao Shan was quite jolted at such a response, he forgot if it was still in a standing position and it was considered impolite. Soon Xiao shan sat in a somewhat awkward position.

"Try repeating your question"

"Ahh... that...how is senior? is this place comfortable?" Xiao shan repeated his question after frowning because he felt that repeating such a question was not necessary except for a fool or a forgetful person.

"Hahaha you're kidding, this exceeded my expectations. You gave me a very nice place to live, for that I thank you"

"Ahh senior do not be too shy, this place is not occupied by anyone after a long time. I was initially afraid that seniors would not feel comfortable but thank goodness that seniors like to stay here"

"Oh you can always please someone. What are you going to say first?"

It flashed in Xiao Shan's mind about the incident that befell his beloved sword. After realizing what happened last night, he immediately left here in the morning after breakfast.

Due to the considerable distance, Xiao Shan had to travel by horse carriage and until the sun was already on the western horizon.

"Senior must have known what I was going to ask about my sword. That's how it can be..."

The old swordsman raised his eyebrows "Hahaha didn't I say, your sword sucks."

Xiao Shan did not show any expression, even this time he did not refute or be arrogant with that statement. What the senior swordsman said might have been true.

"Ahh I know it's your favorite sword, but the sword does not match your style, so for that. well let's follow me"

The senior swordsman walked towards the inner room, while Xiao Shan followed without asking.

Unlike the outdoor room, the indoor room looks more spacious because there are only a few items. But if you pay more attention to fit, the goods here have a much higher value.

After entering the door that was near the corner of the inner room, Xiao Shan held his breath as he saw dozens of heirloom swords neatly displayed on the wall.

"This is my collection's heirloom sword, specially forged. The quality can be said to be much better than your sword from yesterday"

Xiao Shan approached one by one the heirloom swords and watched carefully before turning towards the senior swordsman "May..."

Xiao Shan's smile expanded after being allowed to pick up one of the swords that really caught his attention.

"It's really great"

"Hahaha you have good eyes. That sword I named the 9 Star Night Sky Sword, I forged it specially with rare materials, it is extremely sharp and powerful. That sword was deliberately prepared for you." The senior swordsman seemed to have misjudged, Xiao Shan was only interested in her beauty alone.

Xiao Shan raised his eyebrows, he did not know if the quality of this sword was better than his beloved sword because he only looked at its aesthetic value.

"What kind of damage can this sword inflict?" Xiao Shan was curious.

"Well, because I gave you nothing wrong if you tried"

That's how the two went somewhere deep in the forest. It turned out that there was a waterfall that even Xiao Shan himself had only seen for the first time.

"How does senior know about this place? isn't this far from where we are?"

"I've seen all the areas in this forest and only this place is the best"

Xiao Shan became very curious, because for him no one could visit this entire vast forest region in less than a month.

"The whole forest area? how did senior do it?"

"flying"

"Fly away??? is it possible for humans to do that?" Xiao Shan had only heard of it from fairy tales, never once having encountered it in real life.

"Maybe, but let's try your new sword first" the senior swordsman let Xiao Shan search for something he wanted to attack using his sword.

After searching selectively, Xiao Shan found a large rock, out of nowhere the stone came but if he wanted to prove if the sword was the same as the senior swordsman said he should try it.

"You don't have to use deep energy, just enough of your physical energy you use"

Xiao Shan frowned, hesitating over the challenge "Well will I try, but what if it's not split?"

"Then you can ask anything from me" the senior Swordsman was like he wasn't joking with his words.

Xiao Shan was ready in the attacking position, he did not flow the sword with his profound strength. He raised his sword and swung it at the large rock.

How shocked it was when the stone was completely split until he had to take a few steps back.

"It's amazingly great..." Awe and disbelief still Xiao Shan felt until then.

"Well now do you still doubt my forging ability?"

'But this is impossible, lest the stone be prepared in advance' Xiao Shan thought of every possibility.

"Can I try it with another big rock?"

"Yes of course, the sword is yours"

Back he looked for another large stone, when he found it and did the same, Xiao Shan could only swallow his saliva.

The stone was completely split in two even though the physical exertion that Xiao Shan used was not as strong as when splitting the rock earlier.

"I thank you very much for this precious gift to senior" Xiao Shan saluted.

"Well let's go back home"

Xiao Shan only nodded in agreement, on the way home he did not stop smiling because he had obtained a very great heirloom.

The sky was already pitch dark, there was no illumination other than the burning torches around the house. The senior swordsman prepared a dinner for the two of them.
