The two girls just nibbled on the candies and chatted about one thing or another.

Unknowingly, their conversation turned to Qingdeng.

"Miss Souji, I always feel that Master has been looking bad lately. Did something happen?"

The Director-General shrugged:

"Hmm...I don't know too well."

"The 'Changzhou Expedition' is about to begin. Perhaps he is busy with affairs and the burden on his shoulders is unprecedentedly heavy. He may feel tired."

"It's also possible that it's because I haven't been able to find the 'Wanli Steel' that can be used to recast Vairocana, so I was affected by this and felt depressed."

Elodie blinked:

"'Wan Liangang'?"

Vairocana was seriously injured in the Summer Formation in Kyoto, and Qingden decided to find "Wanliang Steel" to recast his sword - Elodie, who is the director of the Finance Office, naturally heard about this matter.

However, since this is not her business, and she doesn't know how to forge swords at all, Elodie only knows about this and has no idea what "Wan Lian Steel" is, let alone why Qingden is obsessed with it.

Taking advantage of her free time today and the opportunity, she asked the director:

"Miss Souji, I'm very curious, what exactly is 'Wanliangang'?"

The director-general tilted his head:

"Hmm...I'm not sure either."

"I only know that 'Wan Liangang' is a very rare steel."

"Weapons made of 'Wanliang Steel' will have a jet-black luster."

As soon as these words came out, Elodie's eyes widened instantly, and her expression was dominated by strong astonishment.
