The Lord's Empire (Part 1)

Chapter 76-80

Chapter 76: Exceptional and Famous Swords

Zhao Fu called Xiao Jian over, and by now, most of his injuries had recovered. However, his body was still quite weak, and there were a few scars on his face, making his decent-looking face seem quite terrifying.

Zhao Fu offered to give him some medicinal pills to help with the scarring, but Xiao Jian refused, saying, "I want to keep these scars to remember everything that happened and to motivate myself to become stronger."

..........................

"This is for you, Xiao Jian!" Zhao Fu handed Xiao Jian the SS grade Orb.

Xiao Jian received it with some hesitation, but after looking at it, he felt incredibly emotional. He knelt down on one knee and said, "Thank you for your great favor, Your Majesty!"

Zhao Fu lightly nodded and replied, "I value you greatly, so don't let me down."

Xiao Jian quickly nodded and promised that he wouldn't. He then thought of something and quickly took out a blueprint before saying, "Your Majesty, this is a wine brewing recipe from our village; perhaps it will be of use to Your Majesty."

Zhao Fu took it and looked at it.

[Hundred Flower Wine Recipe]: Can create fragrant and enchanting wine from flowers.

After looking at the recipe, Zhao Fu decided that it could be the signature wine of the Westfall Restaurants. Right now, they were using normal wine that any village could create, so the Hundred Flower Wine would attract quite a few customers.

Zhao Fu accepted the recipe and chatted with Xiao Jian for a while before a soldier came in to report that the General Platform had been completed. Zhao Fu went over to the General Platform and thought about who he would make Generals. In the end, he decided on the three people who had been with him since the beginning: Old Logue, Zhang Dahu, and Liu Mei.

After taking care of these matters, Zhao Fu took the teleportation channel to Holy Light City and went to a Smithy. The guard outside respectfully saluted him, and Zhao Fu nodded before walking to the door and knocking.

Gongsun Lin said from within with an annoyed voice, "Who is it? Go away and don't bother me!"

An awkward expression appeared on Zhao Fu's face as he replied, "It's me!"

Hearing Zhao Fu's voice, Gongsun Lin quickly ran over to open the door. When she saw Zhao Fu, she asked, "Zhao Xin, why are you here?"

Zhao Fu looked at Gongsun Lin, whose face and clothes were covered with soot, and she was no longer as cute as she had been at the auction. Now, she looked like a real blacksmith.

Zhao Fu smiled before taking out the Black Iron Ore and giving it to her. Gongsun Lin immediately exclaimed happily, "Zhao Xin! You obtained yet another Gold grade material!"

Zhao Fu nodded and replied, "I want to use this to make a large saber."

Gongsun Lin happily nodded and replied, "I'll forge it after I'm done with the shield!"

Zhao Fu asked, "How long will it be until the shield is completed?"

"About that..." Gongsun Lin tilted her head in deep contemplation before saying, "Maybe another five or six days!"

Zhao Fu talked with Gongsun Lin a bit more, and when he saw just how crazy she was about forging, he reminded her not to overwork herself because he wasn't in a rush for the shield.

When she heard Zhao Fu's caring words, her face became red, and she nodded, indicating that she understood, before running back in to work on the shield.
