Inquisitor's Melancholy

According to the agreement, after practicing sword with Li Xian, Li Xian had to take Sasaki Kojiro to visit the blacksmith room.

Sasaki Kojiro followed behind Li Xian, crossing his hands on the back of his head, squinting his eyes and humming softly, looking in a good mood.

"Kojiro."

Li Xian suddenly stopped.

"Huh?" Why did it stop?Could it be Li Xian who went back on his word?

"Why do you want to know the forging process of the sword man so much?"

Lixian continued to walk forward, and the voice reached Sasaki Kojiro's ears from near and far. Now it was Sasaki Kojiro's turn to stand still. After a long while, he speeded up and caught up with Li Xian, " I don't know either, isn't it strange that swords that are dead things take human form? Why do they live like humans? Why do they have human emotions?"

"For Kojiro, what kind of existence is a sword?"

Instead of answering Sasaki Kojiro's question, Lixian asked a new question instead.

"Life. For me, Captain Bizen is my life. If I lose it, I have no meaning to live."

"Interesting answer."

Li Xian smiled and continued: "Then I can tell you why men with swords can resemble human life, and why dead things can also take human form."

"Emotion is not exclusive to human beings. Whether it is a dead thing or a living thing, they all have emotions, and swords are the same. If a swordsmith forges a sword with his heart, he will be able to forge a good edge. As the master of the sword, cherish the sword, the sword will be Will kill the enemy for him, extremely sharp.

These are the feelings of swords repaying their masters. You who have received the favor of swords, can you understand?

Their souls are no different from human beings, they just don't have human bodies and cannot move freely. "

Li Xian took a meaningful look at Bizen Osama Hikaru behind Sasaki Kojiro.

"Is that why you gave the sword a human body?"

"No, these were also told to me by others. The me in the past... probably was the opposite. It doesn't matter whether it is alive or dead. What I want is to live."

When Lixian talked about the past, his tone was very flat, and he no longer had a sense of déjà vu that was bothered by the past, but Sasaki Kojiro didn't think it was that simple. Some things were like ink sinking in the bottom of the water. , Ink poured up and dyed it all black.

When he was about to continue asking, he found that they had already reached the door of the blacksmithing room.

"Hey, Lord God Judge, are you here to forge a new sword?"

Some cute male voices came, not the voice of a teenager, if you really want to say it, it should belong to an uncle's voice, right?Sasaki Kojiro looked around, but no one greeted Lixian, so where did this voice come from?

"Yes, Mr. Bladesmith, this is a commissioned talisman, and I'm counting on you today too."

Li Xian took out a commission amulet from his arms, squatted down, and handed it forward. Following his movements, Sasaki Kojiro squinted his eyes and looked there, seeing a small, doll-like When the little man took the entrustment talisman in Li Xian's hand that was bigger than his whole body, Sasaki Kojiro clenched his hands and rubbed his eyes, then looked at the little man again.

"Then please wait for a while, Master Li Xian, by the way, Master Li Xian, who is this?"

After accepting the entrustment talisman, the swordsmith was about to forge the sword when he saw Sasaki Kojiro standing beside Lixian, and asked involuntarily.

"Wow, the doll is talking!"

Sasaki Kojiro took a big step back in fright, and the surprised expression made the swordsmith very dissatisfied. Although his body is so small, he is not a doll!

"Kojiro, this is rude behavior, please apologize to Mr. Swordsmith."

It's wrong to judge someone by their appearance. Because of his thin and handsome appearance, Sasaki Kojiro is sometimes mistaken for a girl, so he is quite aware of this aspect.

After seeing all kinds of weird things in this era, Sasaki Kojiro also quickly calmed down, and sincerely apologized to the swordsmith: "Sorry, I just made a mistake. I am Sasaki Kojiro."

"...Kojiro, wow, you're not that...that..."

The swordsmith yelled excitedly, which made Kojiro Sasaki a little helpless. Didn't he think he was so famous?I have never paid attention to these when I focused on swordsmanship before.

"Kojiro of Team Rocket!"

The swordsmith's next words made Sasaki Kojiro's smile froze on his face.

"Oh, I really like you. I feel... um... I can't recognize you when I grow up. Do you remember the shameful words you said when you were a child? What a cute and charming villain... What else is there? A hole-white tomorrow is waiting for us, do you still have any impression?"

what? What?

Sasaki Kojiro was a little confused.

Who is Kojiro of the Rockets?

"Mr. Swordsmith, it's wrong to play tricks on Kojiro."

Knowing that the swordsmith deliberately took revenge because Kojiro Sasaki just called him a doll, Rixian smiled and criticized the swordsmith as well, and then he explained to Kojiro Sasaki: "Kojiro of Team Rocket is a man named "Pokémon" anime. Don’t worry about the characters in the movie, Mr. Swordsmith just watched too many anime and got a little obsessed.”

Li Xian's words shocked the swordsmith, "Master Li Xian, please don't call me a three-dimensional and two-dimensional dead house."

"Yes! Mr. Swordsmith, hurry up and forge the knife."

Under the urging of Li Xian, although the swordsmith looked small, he was surprisingly strong. He moved the heavy resources and threw them all into the stove. At this time, the stove showed a time of three hours, two ten minutes Waiting time, this time... Is it Taidao?

Entering the forging room, Sasaki Kojiro looked around curiously, seeing that he was not paying attention, the swordsmith quietly touched the tip of Lixian's shoe, "Master God Judge, is he really that Kojiro?"

"um, yes."

"Then the Zhenda Taidao he is carrying is Captain Hikari Bizen, so strange, how could Captain Hikari Bizen..."

Before the swordsmith could say anything, Li Xian interrupted him, "I know, Mr. Swordsmith, don't worry about things that have nothing to do with forging swords."

Everyone has their own secrets and doesn't want others to reveal them.

Therefore, he is also waiting for Sasaki Kojiro to take the initiative to confess. After asking Foxnosuke to investigate the current situation of the Toki Government, it seems that there is not much time to give them.

After reading all kinds of resources for forging knives, Sasaki Kojiro came to Lixian, looked around, and found that there was no man with a sword, he asked, "Isn't it forged yet?"

Lixian pouted in the direction of the stove, and Sasaki Kojiro also looked there, "More than three hours?"

"So long? Li Xian, we won't be here all the time, will we?"

Sasaki Kojiro asked anxiously, obviously a little impatient, he has a restless temper, waiting here for more than three hours is undoubtedly a kind of torture for him.Li Xian sighed helplessly.He knew that according to Sasaki Kojiro's restless temperament, he couldn't wait too long.

He took out another piece of talisman paper from his bosom again, and held it between Li Xian's fingers together with the little paper man. After blowing lightly, with Li Xian's breath, the little paper man fell into the stove , turned into cherry blossom petals flying all over the sky.

"...My name is Jiang Xuezuo Wenwen. War will disappear from this world one day...?"

The low and slow tone made Sasaki Kojiro frowned. He ran to Jiang Xue Zuofuji, carefully looked him up and down twice, Jiang Xuezuofuji had been standing there flatly, without any reaction on his face .

"Jiang Xue Zuowen, welcome to this pill, I will be your future master, Li Xian, the judge of the gods."

Li Xian took out the bell, which had already been engraved with the knife emblem of Jiang Xuezuo's characters, and handed it to Jiang Xuezuo's characters, but Jiang Xuezuo's characters didn't take the bell, and lowered his eyes sadly.

"My lord...do I need to fight when I come to this sad land?"

"Well, yes." Li Xian said bluntly, "Fighting is not for deprivation, but for protection. Jiang Xue, this is not a sad thing. Compared with fighting, those who cannot fight for protection is sad.

So, are you willing to fight to protect history and swing your knife for me? "

The former owner of Jiang Xuezuo's script was Itabe Oka Jiang Xue, a former political retainer of the Hojo clan.Because Itabe Oka Eyuki has adjusted the conflict between Tokugawa Ieyasu and the Hojo clan, and is a refined scholar who respects benevolence, so Jiang Xuezuo's character has more or less inherited Itabe Oka Eyuki, who also hates war and loves peace.

The hand that handed out the bell stopped in mid-air so awkwardly, Li Xian never retracted, waiting patiently for Jiang Xuezuo's reply.

"My lord's order is irresistible....At least, let's pray for you."

Jiang Xue Zuowen's voice was still sad, but her tone softened, and she took the bell from Li Xian's hand, which made Li Xian heave a sigh of relief.

Jiang Xuezuo's willingness to take the bell means that he admits that he is his master, right?

Afterwards, Li Xian ordered his valet, California Qingguang, to take Jiang Xuezuofuji to visit the Honmaru. For Jiang Xuezuofuji's arrival, Saya Zuofuji and Zongsan Zuofuji were also very happy, but Sasaki Kojiro, who had been observing them, did not see that they were happy at all. The three straight faces were placed in front of Kojiro Sasaki, which made him feel cold all over his body.

Tightening his clothes, Sasaki Kojiro couldn't help sighing again, he seemed to be a little easier to get along with the smiling Reixian.
