Pirate's Backblade Swordsman

Chapter 71 Murasame and Muramasa

"Hey, old man, open the door! Is this sword really important to me? Please help me repair it!" Ai Lan kept beating on the door of the blacksmith shop and shouted.

Although he had expected in his heart that repairing the knife would be troublesome, he hadn't really expected that he couldn't even get in the door.

"It seems that the master will not open the door again." Robin said behind Ai Lan: "You'd better make another plan."

They've been here for an hour now, and they haven't even seen the Master's second face except when they were first thrown out.

"I will not give up!"

Ai Lan gently pulled out the reverse blade knife, and wiped the blade from the beginning to the end.Watching the soft cloth brush against the slight scars on the blade, it hurt him more than the scars on his body.

As a swordsman, live by the sword and die by the sword!No matter how foolish Ai Lan looks on the surface, the meaning of his life has long been cast in the sword.

Any sword in Ai Lan's hands, no matter what the final result, he will treat it with heart, not to mention the Reverse Edge Knife has accompanied Ai Lan's entire swordsmanship career.

Although this Backblade is not the one that has accompanied him the longest, it is the continuation of that Backblade and the sustenance of his feelings.

Ai Lan has already decided, no matter what, he will definitely restore the knife!

Just when Ai Lan was about to knock on the door again, the door opened from the inside.

However, it was not the master who came out, but a sturdy young man of seventeen or eighteen years old.

This young man is the master's apprentice. Ai Lan has heard the master call him "Sanlang", but the exact name is not very clear.

Saburo's real name is Okino Yoshisaburo. He was adopted by the master since he was a child, and he learned the skill of making swords from the master.

It is worth mentioning that Ji Saburo is his name, and Saburo is just the name of the master.As for the surname Okino, it comes from the surname in the name of his master, swordsmith Okinoemon.

"Let's go. It goes without saying that my teacher has already sealed the furnace. Even if he didn't, he wouldn't repair the knife for you." Ji Sanlang poked his head out and said to Ai Lan.

Ai Lan still did not give up and asked: "Can you tell me why?"

Ji Sanlang replied: "Because, my master generally does not edit other people's works. And..."

He looked Ai Lan up and down, and said, "Besides, you are a pirate! My master will not build or repair weapons for pirates!"

This is one of the reasons why Ai Lan doesn't want to be a pirate, not only to avoid the navy at sea, but also to hide her identity on the shore.Once discovered, not to mention everyone screaming and beating, they will also be rejected by others.

Isn't this the best proof?
"My brother is not a pirate, he is a good man!" Irene couldn't help retorting when she heard Saburo slander Ai Lan.

But Ai Lan stopped her, "Okay, then tell Master, I'll come back tomorrow."

They are all sailing under the pirate flag, is it important to be a pirate or not?

"Captain, are we really going back like this?" Carlos asked Ailan.

After spending so long here without accomplishing anything, he felt a little aggrieved.

"Otherwise?" Ai Lan asked back, "Could it be that you have a way to let the master repair the knife for me?"

"Take him out and give him a good beating!" Carlos said viciously.

Ai Lan rolled her eyes and didn't want to talk to him, "Where is your usual cleverness? I left it in the boat for Monta? I want to ask him to repair the knife! The knife is in his hands. If he does any tricks, my knife will be destroyed."

"Anyway, it will take two days to wait for the magnetic force to be recorded. You can go around the island in the past few days. I will figure out a way by myself."

After seeing that Ai Lan and the others really left, Ji Saburo reopened the store door and called out the master.

"Master, I think that person looks like a real swordsman..."

The white-haired and hunchbacked master glared at his apprentice, and cursed angrily, "Idiot!"

"The sword of a swordsman will never be stained with the blood of innocent people! He is a pirate, no matter how strong he is, he is not a real swordsman!"

Ai Lan's deep affection when she wiped her sword flashed in the master's mind. The expression of this kind of emotion is like a fire wrapped in paper, which cannot be pretended or hidden.

"The sword is a good sword, and the person is nice, but why did you become a pirate?" Master Okino shook his head and sighed.

"Master, why do you hate pirates so much?" Ji Saburo knew that his master hated pirates, but he didn't know why.

Master Okino stared at the flames in the furnace, lost in thought.

Finally, after a long time, he said: "I once forged a knife, which was the pinnacle of my life, and I also entered the ranks of famous craftsmen because of that knife."

Jisaburo was a little surprised, he had never heard such a thing from Master Okino, "Master, the knife you made..."

"I imitated the supreme sword Muramasa that I forged, the great sword Muramasa!"

"The Demon Sword Village is going!!!"

Hearing this name, Ji Saburo couldn't close his mouth in surprise.

Muramasa, like the second generation Onitsu, belonged to the demon sword.The difference is that the ghost sword of the Onitsu series is called the demon sword because it is powerful and will bring misfortune to the user.

As for the Yaodao Muramasa, the reason why it is called the Yaodao is because it never sees blood when killing people!The blood contaminated on it will be absorbed into the blade by it to strengthen itself.

Seeing his apprentice so surprised, Master Okino just shook his head and said: "This sword is the pinnacle of my life and the origin of my nightmare."

"Why is this? How can it be a nightmare after making a big sharp knife?" Ji Saburo was a little puzzled.

Master Okino picked up a piece of charcoal from the ground and threw it into the stove.Looking at the crimson flames, his thoughts returned to the village that was caught in a raging fire more than ten years ago.

"When I was young, I was very arrogant and thought that swords are for killing people. Of course, the stronger the better. When the sword is on the edge, I forged such a demon sword."

Jisaburo listened quietly, except for Okino Master's voice in the whole store, there was only the crackling sound of the charcoal in the fire.

"At that time, in order to make it famous, I gave it to a very powerful swordsman." Speaking of this, Master Okino's eyes began to flicker, and what happened next must have made him feel painful.

"But people's desires are infinite. That person later learned that Muramasa can be strengthened by killing people..."

Master Okino stopped talking, and Jisaburo could guess what happened.

"Master, this is that person's fault, not yours!"

Ji Saburo wanted to comfort Master, but he could only say such a sentence.

Master Okino also knew this, but he still couldn't forgive himself.So he retired to this small island, and decisively chose to seal the furnace when the apprentice was barely able to be alone.
