Chapter 234: Sword Review, Esdeath Carrying out the Punishment Mission
Fang Yi is not good at quickly judging the quality of a knife.

He hadn't used many swords before, and his time practicing with swords wasn't very long.

Whether it was a knife in the literal sense or the "knife" in front of him without its "scabbard", he had only used it a few times in his two lives as a human.

Before entering the space, he had practiced boxing for ten years but never thought that he would become a master of swordsmanship.

His swordsmanship was also acquired quickly.

Strictly speaking, if we calculate the time of practicing swordsmanship based on his personal senses.

Although he pushed his skill [Mastery of Swordsmanship] to level 2, he had only practiced swordsmanship for eleven days.

After four days of sword training, Demon Slayer developed the ability to defeat the enemy first and successfully killed Chen Cheng.

On the seventh day, he used sword against sword, and sword against sword, vaguely using "momentum" to kill all enemies and achieved the feat of "Demon Slayer".

And now, after leaving the panel provided by the reincarnation space, if Fang Yi were to judge the quality of a knife from various dimensions.

Fang Yi could only say the same as Zhang Yu that he could only evaluate a knife based on whether it looked sharp and durable.

Therefore, he needed Miss Assassin to help him complete the evaluation of the "knife" and tell him which aspects to consider when evaluating the quality of the knife.
-
He first sat on the bed, quietly admiring the process of the 'knife' shedding its 'scabbard' and slowly unsheathing its appearance.

Until the 'knife' was completely unsheathed, revealing its smooth and clear 'blade'.

He then walked up to Miss Assassin and, like an old fisherman, slowly expressed his doubts.

“Ms. Akato, I don’t really understand how to evaluate a sword.

"In what aspects do you think a knife should be evaluated?
"I lack relevant knowledge, so I need a master like you who has been using a knife for many years to guide me."

Miss Assassin was stunned at first and was about to give a serious answer.

But after seeing Fang Yi's slightly frivolous smile, she suddenly came to her senses and realized how she should answer the other party's question at this moment.

She looked at Fang Yi, and her serious and resolute expression gradually disappeared, revealing a smile as gentle as the mountain breeze.

“The first step in evaluating a knife is definitely to look at its appearance. Only after understanding the knife’s overall appearance can one proceed to the next step of evaluation.”

As she spoke, the assassin lady turned around first, allowing Fang Yi to appreciate the entire appearance of the "knife" from beginning to end.

After being deeply impressed by it, he sat next to Fang Yi and began to explain to him the several dimensions of evaluating a knife.

“After looking at the appearance, when evaluating a knife, the first thing to look at is the material.

"If the material of the blade of a knife is not good, it will not be durable. If the material of the handle is not good, it will affect the grip."

As she spoke, the assassin lady grabbed Fang Yi's hand and guided his hand to caress and feel the blade.

Apparently, he was asked to first assess the material of the 'blade' to see if it was as smooth as it looked, allowing one to slide through it in an instant without any hindrance.

After watching Fang Yi work on the blade and carefully evaluating and sensing it, the assassin lady took the initiative to shorten the distance between them and Fang Yi and began to ask him about his feelings.

"How about the blade of this knife?
"It feels good, doesn't it? Is it as smooth and clear as it looked just now?

After seeing Fang Yi nodded as if he suddenly understood something, indicating that he was satisfied with the blade of the knife.

The assassin lady then signaled the other party to start evaluating the 'handle'.

She grabbed Fang Yi's hand and placed it on the handle of the knife, motioning him to touch and feel the texture of the handle while she began to explain seriously.

“The material of the handle determines your grip, durability and comfort.

“Wooden handles are generally used to provide a natural and warm grip.

"But this knife of mine has two wooden handles. Can you try them out and see which one is better?"

Fang Yi touched the naturally warm handle of the knife and started playing with it.

While feeling the knife's comfortable feel, he complained in his mind.

“Of course, natural handles are better.

"Poor quality knife handles that are technologically modified using silicone or water balloon implants or fillings can have a very short shelf life.

"I remember an interesting piece about a woman who was incredibly vain but had superb magical manipulation skills. She could manipulate slime to create a realistic-looking knife handle that matched the geophysical engine."

Until Fang Yi felt the two knife handles from beginning to end and turned them around like a walnut.

The assassin lady let out a breath and asked softly in Fang Yi's ear.

"How is it? Are you satisfied with the handle of this knife?
"The handle of a knife will affect the center of gravity of the knife. If the handle is too heavy, the entire knife will lose balance when it is swung.

"Do you think this knife is suitable?"

Looking at Fang Yi who was close by, he nodded and smiled, expressing his satisfaction with the material of the handle and blade.

This time, the assassin lady smiled sweetly and began to teach Fang Yi the next step of evaluating the knife.

“Only when you wield a knife for a long time can you feel its sharpness and durability.

“But these are all the next test items.

"Before you wield this knife, you must first find its flaws."

She grabbed Fang Yi's hand and began to let him feel and touch the depressions on the blade so that he would understand how to wield the knife later.

After several feelings, the female assassin did not say anything, but stared at Fang Yi with increasingly aggressive eyes, as if she wanted to eat him.

Fang Yi, knowing that the time had come, asked.

"Is it time to start dancing with the sword and test its durability and sharpness?"

Miss Assassin said softly with her eyes moving.

"A knife also longs to choose a master and be wielded by someone.

"You've been testing the knife for so long. If I tell you not to use it, will you not use it?"

After saying that, he came closer and whispered with his clumsy seduction skills.

"Master, this knife of mine is very sharp and durable."

Before the assassin lady finished speaking, Fang Yi took the initiative to hold the hilt of the knife and dance with it to test the performance of the knife.

With the help of several special qualities, his swordsmanship is quite good, and he should not be hurt by this so-called sharp knife.
-
A few hours later, after recovering from her corpse-like state, Shinobu Kocho slowly walked out of the room and looked at the two people sitting on the sofa drinking water, looking at them suspiciously.

She first tightened her clothes, then slowly sat next to Fang Yi, poked him with her elbow, and asked.

"You haven't told me what kind of help you need from me?

"By the way, what should I call this lady?

"Are you from the same group as us?"

Fang Yi smiled and ignored the other party's somewhat sharp question. Instead, he tentatively hugged the female alchemist and pointed at the assassin lady who looked a little dazed and started talking about business.

"This is Miss Akagi, my teammate in this world." She wanted to rescue her sister who was suffering from drug abuse and imprisoned, so she asked me for help, and I promised to help her achieve this goal.

"Unlike you."

After Fang Yi used a few words to tell the story of the sisters' dependence on each other, Shinobu Kocho, who empathized with her and thought of her deceased sister, looked at Miss Assassin with much less hostility.

Of course, the main reason is that the assassin lady is not Fang Yi's follower, so the female alchemist feels that it is okay to be a little more tolerant.

[I won in the end anyway, so it’s no big deal.]

After Fang Yi took out the addictive drug he got from "Hyena" and told the female alchemist that the other party's sister had suffered from similar drugs and had become mentally ill.

After the female alchemist used her talent and knowledge of medicine to sense the effects of the medicine, there was even more sympathy in her eyes when she looked at the assassin lady.

The tone also softened a lot.

"Now that my 'financial sponsor' has spoken, I will naturally not slack off.

"I promised that every 'investment' you make in me will be returned many times over."

After hearing the female alchemist's loyal words, Fang Yi selectively ignored her somewhat ambiguous pronunciation.

He patted the other person's back and put his arm around her to comfort the female alchemist.

The female alchemist also took this opportunity to lean over to the assassin lady and declare her sovereignty, then rubbed Fang Yi and took a deep breath.

After replenishing her 'Fang Yi Energy' and becoming full of energy, Shinobu Kocho felt it was time to start working.

She turned to look at Fang Yi and said seriously.

“Let Miss Akame come with me and describe in detail the symptoms her sister suffered when she became ill.

"Before I get the sample of the medicine that Miss Chitong's sister is taking, I can only collect some useful information and do some preliminary preparations.

"Of course, if we could get the original prescription, we could save a lot of effort."
-
After saying this, Shinobu Kocho did not receive a response from Miss Assassin.

It was only then that the female alchemist discovered that although the assassin lady was drinking water, she seemed to be in a state of trance and her soul was out of her body.

She glanced at Fang Yi, but didn't intend to make a fuss. Instead, she gently pushed Fang Yi, took out a bottle of self-developed medicine and handed it to Fang Yi, indicating that he should solve the problem.

Fang Yi smiled awkwardly and had to take the bottle of potion and walk closer to the assassin lady, trying to wake her up.

His traits [Extraordinary Talent], [Man-Eating Dragon], combined with the skills [Breath of the Sun: Strengthening] and the evolving [Tiger Roaring Golden Bell], this combination of punches is truly unbeatable.

After the "Sword Dance", although the assassin lady did not die like the female alchemist, she was still shocked like never before.

The assassin lady standing by didn't come to her senses until Fang Yi came closer and her body subconsciously shuddered when she sensed Fang Yi's breath.

With the help of Fang Yi, after taking the potion of the female alchemist, the assassin lady regained her ability to think and move, and left with the female alchemist.

Let’s start discussing the plan to save my sister [Black Eye].

Fang Yi began to think about his next plan of action.
-
Right now, besides waiting for the battle record of [Death in the Mist] to spread, we need to complete the task of [Homage to the Evil III].

It is to wait for the notification from the [Minister] to meet with [Esdeath], prepare for the talent selection [Martial Arts Competition] mentioned by Bud, and then participate in the Northern Expedition.

Fang Yi felt that this female general should also be able to continue to improve her strength through [diligent study and improvement].

He can also try to obtain the other party's help to achieve the ultimate goal of counter-hunting.

In addition, he also has to try to find [Dr. Fashion] from the [Minister Camp] and obtain the prescription for the medicine that [Kurotome] takes from this crazy scientist, so that Miss Shinobu Kocho can develop an antidote.

During the time of sword review, Miss Assassin had told him everything she was thinking and the knots in her heart without reservation.

He also promised to address the issue of the other party's sister.

With the help of Akahime, he can try to approach and gain the trust of the younger sister [Kurotome] who is wearing a sailor suit and stockings, has a thinner figure compared to her sister, and is dressed like a JK.

Although, Fang Yi didn't quite understand where the sailor suits came from in this era, nor did he understand where the stockings, a by-product of the petrochemical industry, came from.

But for the sake of Miss Assassin, Fang Yi would naturally take action.

With the help of his newly acquired traits [Soul-Hunting and Redeeming Life] and [Strange Blood], he should be able to solve most of the other party's problems.

Whether it's mental or physical, he can handle it.

At the same time, [Black Eyes] who holds [Imperial Apparatus] and [March of the Dead: Eight Chambers] is also a good 'card'.

To deal with enemies who are certified by the main god space and are very different from you, the more cards you collect, the better.

Fang Yi also wanted to know whether this evil long sword, which could control the enemy's corpse after killing the enemy, could be used on a reincarnationist.

Fang Yi began to think about how to make rational use of the Minister's promise to arrange a meeting between him and Dr. Fashion to achieve his strategic goals.
-
At the same time, after the [Minister] and Bud reached a consensus in that house to activate [Esdeath].

Within a few hours, a letter of commission was delivered to the female general's residence.

Listening to the task reminder sounding from the main god space beside her ears, Esdeath already knew what she should do without opening the letter of commission sent by the [Minister] envoy.

After hearing the [Minister]'s envoy asking him to prepare to receive a young man named Fang Yi and to train him seriously to improve his strength.

You also have to be prepared to "lose" to the opponent in the fighting competition.

This female general, with blue hair, long boots and a military uniform, had an explosive figure and strength, so explosive that the chest of her uniform was bulging. She believed that "only the strong have the value of survival". Although she was reluctant in her heart, she put on a kind expression and accepted the task.

After she knew that she was going to lose to Fang Yi, who was weaker than her, she was so angry that she almost gritted her teeth and was on the verge of losing her mind.

But looking at the trait [Touch of Extreme Cold] in the reward column of [Punishment Mission: Rising Empire I] triggered by the main god space.

The female general regained her composure and prepared to follow the arrangements of the Lord God Space.

If she wants to take back the several characteristics that were deducted from her by the overbearing main god space, she must listen carefully to the instructions and complete the task.

Esdeath is now in an unprecedented period of weakness.
-
A few months ago, the invitation letter from the main god space that claimed to enhance her strength and send her to another world caused the female general to suffer a great loss.

Because the female general ignored the main mission, refused to complete the mission on her own, and did not take the return mission seriously.

After the mission was completed, the main god space not only deducted more than one characteristic of the female general, but also deprived her of the qualification of a reincarnation.

After sending Esdeath back to her original world, she was given an extremely difficult [Punishment Mission] to retrieve her traits.
