Many people knew that the Sword God would appear at the auction.
Because the Muramasa weapons were becoming more and more popular at the auction, the royal capital's auction could be said to have become the focus of the entire world.
Not only big figures from various countries, but even the world's top experts, and even the Seven Great Powers, were interested.
The so-called Seven Great Powers refers to the seven strongest beings in the world. They might be different races, have different abilities, or might not even be living people, but their strength is at the top of the world. Any action they take would definitely cause a huge stir.
The Seven Great Powers, in order, are [Skill God], [Dragon God], [Fighting God], [Demon God], [Death God], [Sword God], [North God].
The ranking was created by the [Skill God], who is ranked first, and he created a stone tablet called the Seven Great Powers and used a special method to fix the seven strongest people in the world on the tablet.
If the ranking of the Seven Great Powers changes, or new powers are born, the stone tablet will automatically change its content, making it a reliable reference.
Therefore, people basically use the stone tablet of the Seven Great Powers to determine the seven individuals at the peak of their strength.
However, due to the special identities of the Seven Great Powers, the stone tablet does not directly display their identities, but generally uses code names to describe them.
Therefore, of the current Seven Great Powers, only the identities of some people are known to the world.
The Sword God, ranked sixth, is one of them.
[Sword God] Gal Farion, the current strongest of the Sword God Style, the master of the Holy Land of Swords.
He became famous at a young age, defeating all opponents in the royal capital, and then traveled around the world, challenging famous experts everywhere, and has almost never been defeated in his life.
The only somewhat anecdotal story is that the Sword God encountered the Dragon God, ranked second among the Seven Great Powers, during his travels.
According to the rumor, the Sword God even lost the courage to fight the moment he saw the Dragon God. It was the first time he didn't dare to draw his sword against an enemy.
As for the process of the Sword God's battle with the Dragon God, people did not know. They only knew that since then, the Sword God has been aiming to defeat the Dragon God, but everyone can feel how distant this goal is.
After all, the difference between the second and sixth ranks of the Seven Great Powers seems not far, but in reality, it is almost like the difference between heaven and earth.
The top four and the bottom three of the Seven Great Powers are not even on the same level. It can even be said that the difference is greater than the difference between mortals and the powers.
No one believes that the Sword God can defeat the Dragon God.
Therefore, even the Sword God's desire to challenge the Dragon God is purely regarded as a false rumor by most people, and no one has ever believed it.
However, when the Sword God appeared at the auction in the royal capital and bid for the fantasy greatsword Heaven Demon Fallen, which is specially used for dragon slaying, many people were no longer calm.
After all, according to the description, one of the most important attributes of the Heaven Demon Greatsword is the [Dragon Slaying] attribute it contains, which has double the effectiveness against dragon-attribute enemies.
If an ordinary person buys the Heaven Demon Greatsword, the goal may just be to slay dragons, like the Dragon King Kingdom, whose goal is basically just to wipe out the dragons raging in the Dragon King Mountains.
But the Sword God is someone who can easily slay dragons anyway.
And he specifically wants to buy a weapon for dragon slaying, so the goal is definitely not to slaughter ordinary dragons.
In that case, the answer is clear!
The Sword God wants to kill the Dragon God Orsted, surpass the Dragon God, who is ranked second among the Seven Great Powers, so he specifically made such a move!
In an instant, the world went crazy for this.
Everyone was curious whether the Sword God would directly challenge the Dragon God after buying the Heaven Demon Greatsword.
Although the Dragon God Orsted is very mysterious, you can only catch a glimpse of him and never find him, it is very difficult to find his location. However, if the Sword God has this idea, he will definitely be able to find traces of the Dragon God Orsted.
Because the Dragon God has a rumor that he has an extremely terrifying appearance, which will stop the heart of anyone who sees him. It is more terrifying than watching a horror movie late at night. So basically, when he appears, people will definitely feel very impressed.
If the Sword God uses his connections, he will probably be able to find the Dragon God quickly.
In that case, the sixth-ranked [Sword God] of the Seven Great Powers would challenge the second-ranked [Dragon God] of the Seven Great Powers.
With the Heaven Demon Greatsword, even if the Sword God cannot defeat the Dragon God, he will probably contribute an extremely exciting battle, which cannot help but make people excited.
Unfortunately, to everyone's disappointment, after buying the Heaven Demon Greatsword, the Sword God still did not want to challenge the Dragon God Orsted.
He just paid an unimaginable price, took the sword directly, and returned to his Holy Land of Swords without looking back.
According to the people of the Holy Land of Swords, the Sword God Garfarion hung the fantasy greatsword Heaven Demon Fallen on the highest peak of the Holy Land of Swords, saying that anyone in the sanctuary who wants to challenge the Dragon God Orsted can take this weapon for free, but the prerequisite is that they must aim to fight the Dragon God.
Such conditions can be said to have prevented most of the eager Sword God Style disciples who were interested in this holy demon sword from taking any action.
Challenging the Dragon God is basically no different from seeking death.
Even if they can obtain such a top-level weapon, no one would want to challenge him.
From that day on, the Heaven Demon Greatsword became a facade of the Holy Land of Swords, and the Sword God never changed his mind. He was still looking for a successor who had the courage to challenge the Dragon God.
This is the final location of the three swords forged by Muramasa.
Of course, the blacksmith Muramasa actually forged more than just these three weapons.
Since Shirou made a lot of money from the auction, he simply forged various weapons as he pleased for forging practice.
He did not discard most of the semi-finished products or failures, but gave them to the old blacksmith to handle these weapons at will.
This can be regarded as Shirou's way of repaying the old blacksmith for taking care of him.
But the old blacksmith did not accept this kindness. He secretly took Shirou's weapons to auction or sold them directly to someone, and then invested the money he earned into the forging workshop to provide Shirou with a better environment for forging weapons, or simply bought some rare materials.
The large amount of Yang Flame Stones that Shirou used when forging the Galatine was obtained by the old blacksmith through his own channels at a high price.
However, he never actively mentioned his efforts to Shirou, but poured all his efforts into Shirou in the attitude of treating his own disciple.
Shirou did not disappoint him, and further became active in the forging world as the blacksmith Muramasa.
Unknowingly, the blacksmith Muramasa was even given the title of [Craft God].
The forging masters of the Mine Clan did not come out to refute this highly provocative title. The current [Mine God], who is at the top of the forging masters, even went into seclusion after seeing Muramasa's forged weapons and has never appeared in people's sight since that day.
It can be seen that the influence of the blacksmith Muramasa in the forging world is almost at the very top of the current era, and no one can question his status.
But all of this is meaningless to Shirou himself.
His purpose of forging weapons is purely to experience the joy of forging and to temper his sword magic.
Forging itself can further improve his magic, and it can also allow Shirou to better understand the essence of the sword and enhance the strength of his swordsmanship.
Under such training, Shirou's forging skills can be said to have improved to a certain level, and he unknowingly reached a bottleneck, that is, he could not forge weapons of the god level.
Although Shirou could not project divine weapons when he was projecting in the past.
But projection is just projection after all, and it cannot reach the realm of God. It is also his limitation as a mortal.
But forging is a more direct path after all, and Shirou unknowingly walked to the top of mortals on this path.
Only a ditch remained in front of him, and he would soon be able to reach the non-human realm, but this ditch can almost be said to be a cliff.
In an instant, Shirou almost quickly understood the thoughts of those legendary sword masters, and even the Water God and Sword God of this world.
He's so close to touching it, but its still a world away.
Shirou finally experienced this kind of pain that only geniuses can understand.
He was very distressed about this, but he also knew that his troubles might never be solved in his life.
But this does not mean that Shirou will give up the goal of forging divine weapons.
Or rather, he became even more determined to forge a divine weapon, because this will be a huge test and will also be a very attractive path for him.
If one day he can forge Saber's Excalibur....
Shirou felt instinctively excited and unable to extricate himself just thinking about this.
Of course, Shirou couldn't spend the whole day forging weapons. What was more important to him at the moment was to learn Longsword of Light from Ghislaine.
Compared with the past, his swordsmanship can now be said to be quite decent. The speed of Soundless Sword is at least three times faster than in the past.
But even so, Shirou still has not touched the realm of Longsword of Light.
He was confused about this, not understanding why this was the case.
Ghislaine did not explain anything about this, but just let Shirou continue to train and use his body to understand the real difference between Longsword of Light and Soundless Sword.
Time passed gradually like this.
Unknowingly, Eris's tenth birthday was coming soon.
Eris was born in the Dragon Armor Calendar 405, two years younger than Rudeus, and naturally three years younger than Shirou.
Her turning ten means that Shirou is already thirteen years old.
Ten years old is a special birthday.
The nobility has a custom of holding large-scale banquets and celebrating enthusiastically on their fifth, tenth, and fifteenth birthdays.
Shirou received congratulations from his family on his tenth birthday and had quite a few celebrations.
Eris's birthday was naturally even more grand. The entire Boreas clan was shrouded in a warm atmosphere, and even all major families and nobles were invited to attend the banquet.
But no one expected that an unexpected person would appear at this banquet.
That is the current second princess of the Asura Kingdom, Ariel Anemoi Asura.
