However, it is indeed quite difficult for him to suddenly change his name to something else after being called "Elodie" for so many years.

After getting the other party's permission, "Don't worry, you can call me by any name you want," Qingdeng chose to keep things as usual and continue to call her "Elodie."

Faced with Qingdeng's inquiry, Elodie smiled slightly:

"Master, it's nothing serious, I just...want to give you something."

"Send me something?"

When Qingdeng heard this, he subconsciously looked at the big bundle in his arms again.

"Master, do you still remember the dream I talked about a while ago?"

As Elodie spoke, she bent down, placed the large bundle in her arms on the ground in front of her knees, and then sat on the ground respectfully.

Qingdeng immediately said:

"'Live a chivalrous life as free as Robin Hood' - of course I remember."

Elodie nodded.

"Yes."

"Although this dream was childish and out of place, I was very serious about it back then."

"Even today, I occasionally fantasize about becoming the second generation of Robin Hood."

"Master, if I remember correctly, I should have told you that in order to realize my dream, I not only asked my father to arrange more swordsmanship lessons for me, but also stole special steel that has been passed down from generation to generation in my family, hoping to use it to

Forge it into a magical weapon that belongs only to me."

Having said this, Elodie stretched out her hand and slowly untied the large bundle in front of her knees.

"It is difficult to verify where this piece of steel came from."

"I only know that our family has acquired this piece of steel a long time ago and regards it as a precious family treasure that has been passed down from generation to generation."

"My father had no interest in it, so he casually placed it in the cabinet in the study. This gave me the opportunity to steal it secretly."

"Father, I'm afraid he still doesn't know that the family heirloom is in my hands to this day."

"When I was very young, my grandfather often told me various stories about this family treasure by the fireplace."

"Although the content of the story is all kinds of weird, there is one thing that I always remember - weapons forged from this steel will have a jet-black luster! And they are extremely tough and sharp!"

“Therefore, our family calls it ‘Broken Iron Steel’, which means ‘cutting steel and breaking iron’!”

When Qingdeng heard this, he could no longer remain calm, and his facial expression was dominated by strong shock.

"Elodie, could it be that..."

Before he finished speaking, Elodie nodded understandingly, with a smile on her face.

"Although I'm not sure yet, I think our family's 'Broken Iron Steel' is your 'Wan Liangang'!"

The moment she finished speaking, Elodie opened the baggage, and the thing inside was finally revealed - an irregular piece of iron.

At the same moment she opened the furoshiki, the room lit up with a dark halo - it was the luster of the iron block.

At first glance, it seems to be just a big black lump of iron.

But if you look carefully, you can find that the iron block has a faint pearl-like luster.

Even Qingdeng, who doesn't understand materials science at all, can still see at a glance how extraordinary this iron is!

Before Qingden could recover from the shock, Elodie continued:

"Master, I came here this time just to entrust it to you."

She paused for a moment, then straightened her back and said seriously:

"Please use this steel to recast Vairocana's blade!"

Her solemn expression and solemn tone... It can be seen that she is not joking, she is very serious.

Qingden looked at Elodie, and then at the "broken iron steel" in front of her knees, and the shock on his face gradually subsided.

"... Elodie, I appreciate your kindness. I cannot accept this thing."

As he spoke, he shook his head solemnly.

"This is your family's heirloom, how can I steal it?"

"Besides...don't you plan to use this steel to forge a magical weapon that is unique to you?"

"In this case, I can't accept it anymore."

Elodie didn't seem surprised by Qingdeng's reply.

I saw her smiling:

"Master, you don't have to be polite."

"It is true that this object is indeed a treasure of our family, and I do intend to use it to forge a magical weapon that is unique to me."

"But since I am my father's only daughter, sooner or later I will inherit all the family property."

"In this case, how to use this family treasure depends entirely on my personal preference."

"I'm just using my property early."

Speaking of this, she stuck out her tongue playfully, showing a sly look on her face.

"As I get older, I gradually understand the reality."

"With my little skills, I can't be considered Robin Hood."

"Compared with wielding a sword, playing with an abacus is more suitable for me."

"I am not a genius warrior like Miss Souji and Miss Sanako. I am just an ordinary person with a little talent."

"It is too wasteful for a mere mortal like me to use such Kobelco."

"A good knife deserves a name, and so does good steel."

"It is better to give up your love generously than to let the pearl gather dust."

"In other words, this is not a 'gift', but an 'entrustment'."

"Master, I now entrust my dream to you!"

"Please use this steel to forge a sword that is unparalleled in the world, and then become a powerful and famous knight throughout the ages, and fulfill my unfinished dream!"

After saying that, Elodie bowed down to salute solemnly, and pushed the black steel in front of her knees forward towards Qingden.

Qingdeng opened his mouth but stopped talking.

He wanted to say something else, but after hearing what Elodie had just said and seeing her engraved expression, the words that had come to his mouth fell back into his stomach.

If Elodie is right, then this piece of "Broken Iron Steel" is most likely "Wan Lian Steel".

The "Wan Liangang" that he had been searching for for a long time but could not find, actually appeared in front of him in this way... To be honest, Qingdeng felt as if he was trapped in a dream.

However, he was not surprised by such an unexpected development.

In the real world, no matter how absurd things are, things can happen.

At this moment, he felt Elodie's unshakable determination.

Especially after she said "Entrust your dreams", there was only one answer Qingdeng could give——

"……I see."

Qingdeng sat solemnly, nodded solemnly, then bent down to return the greeting, and loudly said:

"'Broken Iron Steel', I accept it!"

…

…

The person around Aoto who knows the most about swords and steel is undoubtedly the boss Kiryu, who comes from the Yamada Asaemon family.

After the battle with Hannya, Boss Kiryu, who was seriously injured, did not return to Osaka, but was recuperating in a nearby hospital in the western suburbs of Kyoto.

In order to verify whether "Broken Iron Steel" is "Wanren Steel", Qingden hurriedly rushed to the mansion of Kiryu's boss.

As soon as he saw the other party, he directly took out the "Broken Iron Steel" and showed it to him.

It doesn't matter. At this glance, Boss Kiryu's eyes almost rolled out of his sockets.

Qingden asked:

"Boss Kiryu, how are you? Is this 'Wanliangang'?"

Boss Kiryu was silent for a moment, and then said quietly:

"Tachibana-kun, we're in trouble now... This steel is too perfect. I'm afraid no swordsmith can control this steel now...!"
