Blade didn't know if it was his master's idea or Derick's, to actually give him so many requirements.
Not only did the weapon need to be sharp, but it also had to be sturdy enough, with sufficient ductility. It had to be able to simultaneously accommodate different energies without being damaged or losing power.
Most crucially, the weapon had to be detachable and yet still connected.
One had to know, this was not a weapon for an ordinary person. As someone who had fought with Derick, Blade knew very well how strong the energy in his body was, how great the force in his hands was. What kind of durability would a weapon need to withstand his use?
Blade swore, if someone had made such a request to him back when he was forging weapons on the Xianzhou Zhuming, he would have thrown the furnace directly in their face.
You must be messing with me!
But this was his master's request. Blade could only rack his brains to forge this new weapon. The fragments of Derick's Blade of Divine Retribution and his Spear of Divine Retribution had not been sent over yet, so Blade could only do the preliminary mold design.
Thinking of the physical data of Derick that Huaiyan had given him—height, weight, etc.—Blade picked up the smithing hammer and began to pound the mold.
Fortunately, Derick's height of 1.75 meters was a very standard height. His arm and leg body data were also of the most standard, most perfect proportions, which reduced some of the difficulty in designing for Blade.
A message from Firefly came through again.
[Alright, then you continue with your business. For this period of time, don't worry about me. That Vidyadhara Healer Lady is still thinking of a way to treat me. Maybe in a few days, my illness will get better.]
Kafka also came over. Seeing Firefly's words, she said, "Mhm, we know. By the way, since you're at the Spices-of-Life Inn, and Stelle is also there, you can help me keep an eye on her."
[Okay, I got it (^ > ^)/]
Firefly quickly sent back a message, and even attached an emoticon.
Kafka and the others knew that back when they were in the Stellaron Hunters, Firefly and Stelle were the best of friends. Their relationship was the best, better than with anyone else.
After Derick and Cipher had helped Bailu for a while, they received a message from General Jing Yuan.
Generals Feixiao and Huaiyan had many official duties to handle and couldn't stay on the Luofu for too long. It was now time for them to leave.
At the same time, they also needed to go and report the situation here to Marshal Hua.
There were only seven Lord Ravagers in the entire universe. For one of them to fall on the Xianzhou was no small matter, and it would cause a huge reaction throughout the cosmos. What to do next still needed to be discussed with the Marshal.
Derick wanted to go alone, but Cipher spoke up at this time.
"Derry-boy, take me with you!"
Her personality was really not the type to enjoy taking care of sick people.
"Alright." Derick nodded.
Then he took Cipher and left the Spices-of-Life Inn, preparing to head to the Seat of Divine Foresight.
As for whether Hyacine and Bailu would encounter any accidents, such as medical disputes, that was unlikely. Hyacine herself possessed considerable strength. At the same time, although Derick and Cipher had left the inn, and Castorice had gone out with Polyxia, and Stelle and March 7th were out taking pictures everywhere, Uncle Yang was still there!
With old Yang around, there wouldn't be any major problems.
Derick and Cipher walked towards the Seat of Divine Foresight with peace of mind.
After walking for a while, the two of them were called to a stop.
"Benefactor, and this young lady, good morning! Where are you off to?"
Derick turned his head and saw Tingyun standing not far from them, asking them a question.
Seeing her, Cipher was subconsciously startled. She still remembered that the Miss Tingyun they had met when they came to the Luofu was the Lord Ravager Phantylia in disguise.
Tingyun smiled and said to Cipher, "This young lady, no need to be afraid. I am just Tingyun of the Sky-Faring Commission, not some Lord Ravager in disguise."
"I know…" After being startled, Cipher also realized that this person was not a Lord Ravager, but the real Tingyun. Then she looked at her with confusion and asked, "By the way, why do you call Derry-boy 'Benefactor'?"
"Because my life was saved by Benefactor," Tingyun said with a light laugh to Derick and Cipher.
"Now that I have returned to my normal duties at the Sky-Faring Commission, if Benefactor has any need in the future, this little lady will go through fire and water."
"That's not necessary," Derick said, a little embarrassed to hear Tingyun's sincere gratitude.
Tingyun stopped smiling, but her eyes were very serious. Then, she didn't argue with him on this issue but changed the subject and asked, "Benefactor, where are you going?"
"We're going to the Seat of Divine Foresight. General Jing Yuan is waiting for us there with some business."
"So the General is looking for you, Benefactor. Then this little lady won't disturb you. By the way, Benefactor, let's exchange contact information, so it will be convenient to contact each other in the future."
"Mhm, alright." Although he didn't intend to let Tingyun repay his kindness, exchanging contact information was still something he could do.
After exchanging contact information with her and saying goodbye, he and Cipher continued towards the Seat of Divine Foresight.
When the two of them arrived, the others were already there.
General Huaiyan and his granddaughter Yunli, the Sky-Shattering General Feixiao, and her two subordinates Jiaoqiu and Moze were also present.
Seeing Derick arrive, Feixiao said with a laugh, "We were just waiting for you."
"Teacher, General Huaiyan, General Jing Yuan."
Derick greeted them one by one.
After the greetings, Derick asked Feixiao, "Teacher, are we leaving the Xianzhou Luofu now?"
He hadn't forgotten that his identity was a Seat of the Azure-Fox Army. Now that Feixiao was leaving, should he also be on the move?
Feixiao nodded. "We are leaving the Luofu, but it's not 'we,' but me, Jiaoqiu, and the others. Derick, you may have to stay on the Luofu for a while longer."
"I still have to stay on the Luofu?" Derick asked with some doubt.
Huaiyan stepped forward and said, "Yes. On one hand, the weapon being forged for you is still in the process of being made. I have already instructed the forger to send it to the Luofu after it is completed. If you go to the Yaoqing at this time, it will be really hard to find you."
The operations of the Xianzhou Yaoqing were much more intense than the Luofu's. Who knew when they would be rushing off to a gathering place of the Denizens of Abundance. It would be quite troublesome for Blade to go and deliver it.
After a moment of silence, Huaiyan continued, "Of course, this is not the main reason. More important than this is the issue concerning you. The high command of the Xianzhou has not yet reached a conclusion. At this juncture, it's best for you not to leave this place too far, and wait for the final result."
Yunli, who was standing beside him, had also just learned of this news. She couldn't help but say to Huaiyan, "Grandpa, doesn't he have the blessing of the Reignbow Arbiter? The Arbiter himself came to vouch for him. Do those high-ranking officials of the Xianzhou still have opinions?"
"Yes. That bunch of old-timers, even if the Reignbow Arbiter himself were to speak to them in person, they would still have to think about it for half a day," Feixiao said with some dissatisfaction from the side. After speaking, she glanced at Huaiyan beside her and quickly added, "Of course, the old-timers I'm talking about don't include old man Huaiyan."
"I know." Huaiyan knew Feixiao's personality and knew that she wasn't targeting him, so he naturally wouldn't mind.
Feixiao patted Derick's shoulder. "In short, you may have to stay here for a while longer. Don't worry, it won't be long. I will come and pick you up to go to the Yaoqing as soon as possible."
"I understand."
Derick nodded.
He hadn't had a good look around the Luofu yet. If there was nothing else to do, it would be good to play around on the Luofu for a while.
"Rest assured, young master Derick, you will be fine," Huaiyan said, seeing his attitude and also nodding slightly.
"Yes, with Grandpa here, and General Feixiao here," Yunli also said repeatedly to Derick.
After a few more words, Huaiyan wanted to say goodbye to Jing Yuan.
"Jing Yuan, I will take my granddaughter and leave the Luofu now, to return to the Zhuming."
"Mhm." Jing Yuan nodded. "Take care, old man."
Yunli walked to Derick's side, wanting to say goodbye. But just at that moment, Fu Xuan's image suddenly appeared in the Seat of Divine Foresight.
Seeing her image appear, Jing Yuan asked her, "Fu Xuan, what is it?"
Because of the sudden situation, Yunli didn't say goodbye to Derick for the time being but turned her gaze to Fu Xuan's side with him.
"General, a planet with a D-class civilization fourteen light-years ahead of the Luofu's route has been annihilated. The news just came from there. Besides a single video, everything else has been destroyed. And in that video, the enemy who destroyed that civilization appeared. I believe the Xianzhou must take precautions."
As Fu Xuan spoke, she released the video.
In the video, a figure in a tattered cloak and a mask appeared. And beside him were several bizarrely shaped longswords.
Seeing this scene, the expressions of three people present changed drastically.
"Flame-Reaver!"
"Demon Blade!"
Derick, Yunli, and Cipher shouted different words. Yunli and Derick were standing too close. In their excitement, they stepped forward and bumped into each other. Yunli's strength was not as great as Derick's, and she swayed for a moment before leaning against his chest.
But even so, her attention was entirely on the flying swords beside the Flame-Reaver in the video.
"Demon Blades… those are all Demon Blades."
Because she was so agitated, Yunli's bare feet pressed hard on the ground, her skin flushing a faint red, her small, snow-white toes almost digging a hole in the ground.
