The senior student didn't think much of it. She had a guitar slung over her back and was about to leave when suddenly a girl who looked like she was cosplaying waved and called out, "Daddy, Daddy!"
Xue Law: "..."
Senior sister: "..."
Little Dragon Girl threw herself into Xue Luding's arms and said, "Daddy, Daddy, I'm tired. I want to eat Bread Knight and Cream Priest..."
Xue Law: "..."
The senior student felt as if her brain had suddenly gone blank, staring at Xue Dinglu with a look of utter disbelief. Xue Dinglu, embarrassed, said, "My daughter, she's eight...eight years old..."
"This child is eight years old?" Senior Sister Lian Shan was stunned. Looking at Xiao Long Niang's height of over 1.6 meters, almost as tall as herself, but Xiao Long Niang's baby fat was quite obvious, so it was reasonable to say that she was an eight-year-old child.
So, if this child calls Xue Lude "Dad," and she's eight years old, then Xue Lude...
The senior student was immediately relieved. How could Xue Dinglu have had a child at the age of nine?
It's probably just some kind of joke, and it's probably a little niece or sister, but we always jokingly refer to her as our father or something like that.
"Guitar!" Little Dragon Girl seemed to be very familiar with the place, pointing to the guitar behind her senior, her attention completely drawn to the instrument.
Seeing that Xiaolongniang suddenly became interested in the guitar, Senior Sister Lianshan was naturally happy to talk to this cute little dragon girl about musical instruments, and even personally demonstrated how to play the guitar for her.
This scene was witnessed by Bai Ya and Siam on the other side, and they naturally came over, since they were, to some extent, Xiaolongniang's personal guards.
They all come from the same world, knew each other before, and are of similar age and temperament, so the three of them naturally became good friends and could even achieve perfect teamwork when playing games.
After Xiaolongniang expressed her desire to learn guitar, Baiya and Siam naturally followed suit.
Xue Law simply shrugged and ignored what was happening, continuing to chat with Old Watson beside him and the old man in the consciousness space.
Even though he saw Fafnir leave with the little dragon girl, he didn't care. He just thought that Fafnir was worried about the little dragon girl leaving with strangers.
Old Watson breathed a sigh of relief as he watched the endless stream of guests arrive. He was under the most pressure in the Silver Kingdom, after all, he was the only mage and the biggest pillar of support besides the princess.
I've been sleeping only three hours a day for the past few weeks, and finally, seeing the customers coming and going today, I can finally smile with satisfaction.
Xue Dinglu chatted with this person, who was quite familiar with him from Baiyin Middle School, and the two of them slowly drank their beer and barbecue.
Soon, it was Lian Shan's turn to perform. Actually, the Literature Club wasn't invited to perform many shows; most of them were just for them to perform casually during their free time, playing some fantastical music.
The first act is an orchestral version of "The Nutcracker," a modern adaptation of classical music that perfectly complements the farm setting.
After the song ended, the female orchestra bowed and the curtain fell.
However, no other club filled the gap. In the club schedule, there were still more than ten minutes before the next club was scheduled to join, and none of them were ready.
However, just as they were wondering what was going on, a few children who looked like they were cosplaying came onto the stage, holding musical instruments in their hands.
"Hey, Mr. Xue, is that your daughter on stage?" Old Watson immediately noticed them and asked.
Xue Luding was stunned. Holding a beer in his hand, he immediately looked over and found that the four members of his own group were on the stage: Little Dragon Girl, Valrhona, White Crow, and Siam...
Then, as the music began, the four little ones started playing. It wasn't any music from Earth, but a ballad called "The End" from the land of suffering, the hometown of Little Dragon Girl.
Furthermore, the four little girls seemed to play the song very skillfully. Even if Fafnir wasn't from that world, she must have secretly formed a band with Little Dragon Girl and the others when Xue Lude wasn't around.
Little Dragon Girl played the guitar, White Crow played the piano, Siam played the drums, and Fafnir held a microphone, slowly singing a song in another world language.
This unique song instantly astonished the tourists, and many people took out their phones to record it.
Below, looking at Fafnir singing a ballad, old Watson said, "Mr. Xue, your daughters have all formed a band, and you're still down there drinking beer."
Xue Law: "..."
Meanwhile, within the realm of consciousness, the old man smiled and said, "What a peaceful and happy place..."
The old man looked at the carefree crowd and couldn't hide his smile: "This is wonderful..."
As the song ended, the four boys bowed, and then applause from the crowd below erupted like a sea in this farm that resembled a fairytale wonderland.
Not far away, the scarecrow swayed slightly, and the little squirrels seemed to sway along with the song.
Chapter 303 Heading to the Starfleet
The next day, the family did not go to the already popular guesthouse, as it was too crowded.
For some reason, my house now has a lot of fancy musical instruments, including guitars, basses, drum kits, pianos, violins, cellos, and more...
Seeing a storage room transformed into a music room, complete with professional recording equipment, sound-absorbing cotton to prevent echoes, and soundproofing barriers covering the entire wall, Xue Dinglu was speechless.
He just wants to stay home and drink beer, but his daughters want to form a band. What should he do? I need help urgently!
The main reason is that the kids at home are idle. After all, they don't have to go to school, and at this age, they are the most disliked by everyone. The neighbor's big yellow dog and orange cat probably don't want to play with them anymore. In addition, they don't have to study as many other subjects as they do at school, so they have a lot more free time.
Little Dragon Girl basically only studies elementary school Chinese and math, while White Crow Siam only needs to study math and physics, since these are universally applicable throughout the universe. Everything else depends on whether they want to learn it or not. And it's possible that their increased strength also affects their brain development, as they can learn many things after seeing them only once.
The two are now at a level where they can complete the entire middle school entrance exam paper.
However, it seems the old Demon Emperor wants strategists and those skilled in internal affairs, but they seem to have gone astray here, all becoming science-oriented...
Forget it, it’s not a big problem.
As for their free time, they can't play games all day, so they naturally developed other hobbies, such as forming a band...
Fafnir is a little better off. She has to study for the adult college entrance examination, so she has a lot of material to learn. Xue Lude has already seen the five-year college entrance examination and three-year simulation materials for each subject in her room, so she doesn't actually have much time to play musical instruments.
However, after getting tired of the game, the remaining few immediately went to the music room to throw a tantrum. Sometimes when you went in, you could see instruments and snack crumbs scattered all over the floor.
Xue Law: "..."
Fine, if you like playing musical instruments, then go ahead and play.
……
"I'm going to take care of something today, I'll probably be back later," Xue Dinglu said.
His schedule for today has already been arranged: to build a furnace and then begin forging the Holy Sword of Salvation.
Xue's Law wanted to borrow a little bit of his mother's authority to forge the original Holy Sword of Salvation powder into a new version of the Holy Sword and upgrade it into a Noble Phantasm.
"Take that little girl with you," the old man's voice suddenly rang out.
"Hmm?" Xue asked, puzzled.
"Isn't the holy sword you're forging related to her? Then why not take her with you? The creation of a Noble Phantasm needs a historically significant achievement as a prefix for its upgrade." This time, the old man reminded Xue Dinglu.
Therefore, it seems that even if the Holy Sword is reforged, it is not the original Holy Sword, but simply a completely new weapon based on the original Holy Sword.
But never mind, I won't dwell on it. He's never been one to let things get to him.
Xue Dinglu immediately went to Fafnir's room and knocked on the door.
After Fafner opened the door, Xue Dinglu's lips twitched as he looked at the scene inside.
Her desk was covered with all sorts of study materials, test papers, and textbooks she had found somewhere. The walls were covered with her completed incorrect answers, along with explanations of difficult questions and answers to the corresponding test questions.
At the very top, there was a slogan written on an A4 sheet of paper: "Strive for fourteen days before the exam, and become classmates at USTC."
Xue Law: "..."
In fact, full-time and part-time students have staggered class schedules and class times...
Xue glanced at it, but Fafnir had chosen to study politics and history, which was completely different from the subjects Xue had previously studied. The only subject he could teach was mathematics.
However, I'm not here to teach math today. Xue Dinglu said, "I'm going to reforge the Holy Sword of the Hero Uncle. Want to come along?"
Fafnir paused, glanced at the calendar which read "13 days until the exam," then looked at Xue's Law and said, "Go!"
……
Inside Mount Fuji, in a cave entrance that no one could discover, lies the location of Xue's Law.
He planned to use magma for casting, and chose Mount Fuji simply because it was the nearest active volcano; other volcanoes were either dormant or not hot enough.
Mount Fuji is an active mountain with a lot of lava flowing out and a high temperature inside.
Xue immediately began his work, cutting the dagger that had pierced Zeus's brother into several pieces and putting them into an iron can, then filling the remaining gaps with the ashes of the holy sword.
"Let's start melting and forging. I'll teach you the specific techniques," the old man said with a smile.
"it is good!"
Lava and fire were born in this volcano, and the steel billet, perfectly fused inside the iron can, has already shown its extraordinary qualities after being removed from the can.
"First, extend the blade, then hammer out the shape of the sword, just extend it according to the style of the short sword I gave you." The old man kept instructing in the consciousness space.
Xue Luding held an enchanted hammer and kept striking it, the steel billet stretching in his hand, the metal with mysterious properties displaying perfect flexibility.
After each dozen or so strikes, the steel billet is placed back into the magma for further heating before the next round of strikes begins.
With each hammer blow, the steel billet gradually stretched out and is now over a meter long.
"Alright, start folding the billet and continue hammering," the old man said.
"No, folding an uncleaned steel billet will allow impurities to get in," Xue Dinglu said. Although this was his first time forging, he was once a master forging expert.
"Do as I say. Magic swordsmiths and magical swordsmiths are two completely different schools of thought," the old man explained, though Xue Dinglu didn't understand either.
Upon his death, Xue's Law immediately folded the steel billet, and through repeated forging, he discovered the underlying principle: the impurities incorporated into the folding were actually volcanic lava and energy.
In other words, with each strike, the holy sword gains an additional layer of volcanic lava protection.
Xue Lude thought of his first enemy, the Lich King, the undead who feared volcanoes.
If he had possessed this sword in the past, he would have definitely been able to rip out the Lich King's marrow and tear his skull to shreds.
"Keep folding, keep pounding!" the old man's voice continued.
Xue Lude folded and hammered the billet countless times, while Fafner watched from the side, using a fixator to help Xue Lude hold the billet in place for easier hammering.
"Have the young girl prepare the quenching solution," the old man said.
Xue Dinglu immediately gave the order: "Fafna, take out the water that was prepared beforehand, and then drip it into the blood."
"Okay!" Without hesitation, she filled the hole she had dug with water and dripped her own liquid into it. The next moment, the red-hot steel billet was plunged into the water mixed with blood.
Crimson steam rose, and the moment the steel billet was lifted, the entire Mount Fuji erupted with an astonishingly intense light that shot straight into the sky.
This scene was naturally captured by the whole world, immediately causing a huge uproar and panic around Mount Fuji, but this was something Xue's Law could not have predicted.
"Very good, the steel billet is hard and straight, and the pattern is so beautiful, it can be enchanted now." The old man said happily.
Xue Dinglu picked up the sword blank in his hand; the patterns on it resembled neatly arranged feathers.
Most importantly, the patterns on those feathers incorporate the power of the hero and the power of the volcano, making them very similar to the Holy Sword of the past.
Unfortunately, the sword itself is not yet a Noble Phantasm; Xue's Law still needs further assembly and improvement.
He immediately began the enchanting work; these beautiful horse feather patterns were not only for decoration, but also the best enchanting circuits.
Under the old man's continued guidance, Xue began to enchant the Holy Sword with various affixes, including: Fortitude, Resilience, Life Steal and Auto-Repair, Sharpness, Piercing, Energy Concentration, Mana Conduction, Energy Convergence, Energy Affinity, Amplify Damage, and other buffs.
After the enchanting was finished, Xue Luding asked, "Uncle, what material did you use for this sword hilt before?"
"Hmm... It's made from a peculiar tree from outer space. I don't know if that kind of plant still exists in the universe now," the old man from the former interstellar column suddenly said, looking very troubled.
"What is your name?"
"In our time, we called it the World Tree. It was a tree planted on lifeless planets during interstellar pioneering," the old man began to explain.
"Legend has it that the World Tree is the tip of the King's hair. If a branch of the World Tree is planted on a lifeless planet, it can help that planet complete the condensation of water vapor, the reconstruction of the atmosphere, the transformation of the world, and give birth to new native life. It can be said that a World Tree can give birth to new native life on any planet with a suitable temperature."
"So back then we called it the World Tree. Many people would carry branches of the World Tree with them to plant on wild planets. Perhaps hundreds of millions of years later, life would emerge on that planet, and even planetary consciousness would arise." The old man recounted their story from the first era.
"Are there other plants like this in the universe? Then the name World Tree is really fitting." Xue Luding felt that the world was full of wonders. The entire universe could even give birth to a plant that could grow on a dead star, automatically condense water and atmosphere, and induce life and world consciousness to grow on the planet.
"Hmm, if I'm not mistaken, you've already come into contact with the World Tree, haven't you?" the old man suddenly asked Xue Dinglu in a questioning tone.
Xue Law: “?”
If he really saw this amazing plant, he would definitely take some to collect. Who knows, he might even plant one on Mars and become the creator god of Mars hundreds of millions of years later.
Although he felt that by then he would have long since become trash.
The old man didn't dwell on Xue's laws any longer. He simply went to a distorted spot in Xue's consciousness space, found a tree branch there, and said, "Isn't this the World Tree?"
Xue Law: “???”
Xue Law: “!!!”
This branch was created when Xue Luding temporarily sealed the divine tree within his body after he resolved the control of the God King. This caused a distortion in the consciousness space, resulting in a portion of the divine tree invading the consciousness space, but he managed to suppress it.
But now, the old man is pointing at this branch of the sacred tree and saying that this is the "World Tree" that can provide for the growth of other life.
Xue Dinglu felt as if his brain had exploded in an instant. He stared blankly at the old man and said, "Old man, are you sure this is a branch of the World Tree?"
