Chapter 274 - 274 Reforge the Broken Sword

274 Reforge the Broken Sword

Seeing the Ten Miles Dragon Roar in Lin Ran’s hand, Ye Jin’s eyes were instantly attracted to the gorgeous scabbard covered in gems.

Seeing this, Lin Ran chuckled and handed over the Ten Miles Dragon Roar, indicating that she could take a closer look.

Ye Jin subconsciously raised her hand to take it, but she retracted her hand as if she had thought of something. She turned to look at Lin Ran warily. “All the martial artists in the Great Yong Dynasty use sabers. Why do you know how to use a sword?”

“Uh…”

Lin Ran was considered experienced now. After being stunned for a moment, he smiled calmly and said, “How can I use a sword? I’m a businessman. This is a souvenir I brought back from the Heavenly Saint Dynasty.”

“I accidentally broke it a few days ago. I heard that the Iron City is filled with master blacksmiths, so I wanted to try my luck and see if I could repair it. After all, this sword was quite expensive when I bought it… Don’t worry! Money is not a problem!”

As he spoke, Lin Ran took out a handful of money from his belt.

“Are you serious?”

Ye Jin swallowed and stared at the money in Lin Ran’s hand greedily.

Lin Ran patted his chest repeatedly to indicate that the money was only a down payment. If she could reforge the Ten Miles Dragon Roar, she would be rewarded handsomely in the future!

Soon, the last trace of doubt in Ye Jin’s heart was dispelled. She stared at the money with shining eyes and slowly stretched out her hands.

“Money really makes the world go round!”

Lin Ran thought to himself. He was about to thrust the money into Ye Jin’s arms when he realized that Ye Jin had no intention of taking it. Instead, she pushed his hand back.

“Let my father take a look first. It might not cost so much money.”

Ye Jin pushed Lin Ran’s hand back and scolded with a frown, “Also, don’t take out so much money for no reason. Don’t you know that you shouldn’t reveal your wealth, lest some evil people want to rob you?”

“Even if you’re very rich, your money doesn’t come from nowhere. The Iron City is safe, but it doesn’t mean you won’t be robbed.”

Hearing Ye Jin’s tone as if she was lecturing a junior, Lin Ran suddenly didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. Speaking of which, he really didn’t have any experience in being robbed. After all, there weren’t many people in the world who could rob him.

Lin Ran nodded and put away the money. Then, he held the Ten Miles Dragon Roar with both hands and asked, “Then my sword…”

“Let my father take a look first.”

Ye Jin took the Ten Miles Dragon Roar and unsheathed it. Then, she frowned. “This sword is indeed not bad, but why is it only half?”

Lin Ran didn’t answer directly. “Can’t it be reforged if it’s only half?”

“It’s possible. It’s just that this will be very troublesome.”

Ye Jin shook her head and put the broken sword back into the sheath. She hugged it in her arms and said seriously, “I’ll get my father to take a look at it. Wait for me downstairs. No matter what happens, don’t come up.”

Lin Ran nodded. Ye Jin carried the Ten Miles Dragon Roar and turned to enter, waking up the iron steps.

After releasing his divine sense to guard the surroundings, Lin Ran walked in and walked to the nearest clay furnace to size it up.

When he was outside just now, he had already realized that although these clay furnaces were damaged and there were no sparks in the furnaces, as long as one looked at them attentively, one could feel the burning heat inside.

This meant that back then many world-shaking sabers were forged here. That was why they were still filled with burning heat even after being extinguished for so long.

Clang—

Just as Lin Ran was engrossed in watching, a loud bang suddenly came from the second floor. It was as if something had been smashed to the ground so hard that the ground on the first floor trembled!

Then, a man roared angrily. Because he was too angry, most of the words were unclear. Lin Ran could only vaguely hear a few words like “trash”, “die”, and “get lost”.

At the same time, Lin Ran turned around and rushed towards the stairs. However, just as he stepped on the first step, he remembered that Ye Jin had instructed him not to go upstairs no matter what happened.

At that time, Lin Ran thought that Ye Jin was wary of him, but now, it seemed that Ye Jin had long known that this would happen.

After hesitating for a moment, Lin Ran decided to stay downstairs. During this period of time, the roars and smashing sounds upstairs did not stop.

After waiting for nearly 15 minutes, the voice upstairs finally calmed down.

Lin Ran heaved a sigh of relief and turned around. He saw Ye Jin coming down the stairs quietly. Her eyes were red from crying, but when she saw him, she still forced a smile.

“My father agreed to help you.”

Ye Jin came downstairs and said softly, but there was a hint of embarrassment on her face. “But my father said that the material of your sword is very rare. He has to study it first, but the probability of finding the same material is not high.”

“It’s okay. Just tell me if you need any materials. I’ll find a way to get them.”

Lin Ran smiled. He wanted to ask Ye Jin what had happened upstairs, but in the end, he held back.

Every family had their own difficulties. If Ye Jin wanted to say it, she would naturally say it. If she didn’t want to say it, as an outsider, he shouldn’t interfere in other people’s family matters.

At this moment, the sky was already completely dark. In the room that was completely made of metal, the light seemed to have become even dimmer.

Ye Jin took out an oil lamp from somewhere and lit it. She looked at Lin Ran and said, “Let’s go. I’ll take you to your room first. I’m really sorry, but my father said that the craftsmanship of that sword is very complicated, so you might need to stay here for a few days.”

When he heard that he was going to stay here for a few days, Lin Ran’s first reaction was to refuse. After all, everyone in the Iron City was looking for him.

However, on second thought, the most dangerous place might be the safest. As long as tonight passed, the people in the city would most likely think that he had already left the city. At that time, the intensity of the search would decrease greatly.

Thinking of this, Lin Ran nodded. “It’s okay. I’m here to find someone to fix the sword anyway. I have plenty of time.”
