The weapons I forge are absolutely flawless.

This strange phenomenon made him instinctively want to run away, but what awaited him was a long sword blocking his way.

“Vina said you can’t leave.”

Felix, who is usually jovial, becomes a completely different person when he gets serious, and his gaze alone puts immense pressure on Kahn.

"I just wanted to offer you all some tea," Kahn said, swallowing hard. "Since you don't need it—"

The door suddenly opened.

Sargozi, who had just opened the door, saw the red thread tied to Kahn's hand and his expression was very complicated.

"Come in, everyone," Vina's voice rang out.

Kahn was brought into the room by Felix.

Seeing that Sargozi was still not recovered, Wiener had no choice but to take the initiative and ask, "Did you put these drawings in Sargozi's room?"

Kahn met Viner's gaze and nodded frankly, "Yes."

With witnesses and physical evidence present, he has no reason to deny it.

“Then you should know the contents of this drawing,” Wiener nodded. “I’m quite curious, why did you give this drawing to Sargozi?”

"Because it can help the master break through to the level of a forging master."

Kahn said firmly, as if this was a goal that had to be achieved at all costs.

But no sooner had he finished speaking than Sagoci roared angrily, "I have no disciple like you!"

His face was full of indignation, because Kahn's behavior had crossed the line for a blacksmith.

"Do you know what this is? It's a demonic sword that corrupts people," Sargozi said, exasperated.

"That only shows that the user's character is not up to par, what does it have to do with the blacksmith?"

This was Kahn's truest thought, at least until Wiener arrived.

"Snapped!"

A crisp slap echoed in the room.

“Even if I never become a Grandmaster in my entire life, I will never forge such a thing,” Sagozi said indignantly.

Kahn was knocked to the side by Sargozi, leaving a bright red handprint on his face, but he gritted his teeth and didn't utter a sound.

This sight pained Sagoci, and he turned to Vina to apologize: "It is my fault for not being strict enough in teaching. Please punish me, Master."

"Get out of the way, it's not your turn yet."

Wiener knew that Sargozi hadn't given up on Kahn, so he had no choice but to play the villain himself.

“Kahn, or I'll call you Kahn Taiwo. After Rogurd disappeared, the Taiwo family scattered like birds and beasts. You took this blueprint and fled to Lumir Village, hoping to use Sagochi to reveal the Cloud Fang. Am I right?”

“That’s mostly right,” Kahn said, extending his hands. “You’re from the Kingdom, aren’t you? I’ll go with you. The Taivo family’s affairs have nothing to do with this workshop.”

“If I were someone sent by the kingdom, my involvement wouldn’t be limited to just this workshop,” Viner said irritably.

Harboring a fugitive is a serious crime; if discovered, the entire village will be implicated.

"Who exactly are you?" Kahn asked, looking puzzled.

He considered himself to be very low-key, and since being taken in by Sagozi, he has almost never appeared outside the workshop.

Since Vena wasn't sent by the kingdom, why go to all the trouble of investigating him?

“He’s just an ordinary villager from Lumiel.” Viner didn’t intend to explain further. “Since you’re being so cooperative, you might as well just tell us where you got this blueprint.”

"Would anyone believe me now?"

Kahn wore a wry smile, but his gaze drifted toward Sagozi beside him.

With his arms crossed and his eyes fixed intently on Kahn, Wiener said, "That's for me to decide."

“This is something my father left me. Although it’s a copy, it’s his most precious possession,” Kahn said slowly.

“Wait a minute, who is your father?” Viner interrupted.

Putting aside its dangers, the "Congyun Fang" is undoubtedly the best among A-rank weapons.

But if it's just a blueprint, its value is completely different.

It was like a forbidden fruit, tempting those blacksmiths who were just one step away from success.

However, it would be somewhat far-fetched for a nobleman to regard this as the most precious thing.

“He’s just an ordinary blacksmith,” Kahn said, looking directly into Viner’s eyes. “One of the things you said earlier was wrong.”

“I am not a nobleman, but just a blacksmith’s son.”

Chapter 475 I stole your chance for revenge

If you can't become a master, then at least be by the side of a master.

Just as Sargozi was able to attract many apprentices to his door, the Fiery Giant, who was also a master forger, could naturally do the same.

Although no one has ever seen the master blacksmith who belonged to the Taivo family, the equipment that leaks out every year is irrefutable proof of his existence.

Kahn's father, Vorn, was drawn to the equipment forged by the Fiery Iron Giant and went to the Taivo family to exchange and spar with them.

If he were just an ordinary person, the Taivo family would simply send him away to keep the secret that their blacksmith was a demon.

But even the Taiwo family couldn't help but be tempted by a blacksmith like Warnt, whose skills were so exquisite that he had almost reached the level of a master.

They offered substantial rewards and acted as a go-between for the human and the demon by exchanging letters and works.

Vorn's son was also kept in the Taivo family mansion and lived with the family's younger generation.

This was both a demonstration of the Taiwo family's sincerity towards Vorn and a form of insurance they took to ensure that the secret was not leaked.

The two did indeed enjoy a honeymoon period.

But the Iron Giants aren't fools; they wouldn't just train master blacksmiths for humans for nothing.

The Taivo family does not need two master blacksmiths.

If Warnter becomes the new master blacksmith, he will lose his reason for being.

So after figuring out the opponent's skill level, the Fiery Iron Giant handed over a set of blueprints to Vont.

"After getting the blueprint, my father was like a different person. He devoted all his attention to the blueprint."

“Every time we met, he would say that this was his only chance to break through to the level of a forging master or even a grandmaster.”

"The last time we met, he was unusually clear-headed and handed me this blueprint, saying that if he failed, he would tell me to leave the Taiwo family, as far away as possible."

Kahn recounted the origin of the "Congyunya" blueprint.

That was Warnt's last gasp before his death.

“But you didn’t listen to your father.” Viner said with a hint of regret.

“My father’s disappearance is shrouded in mystery, and as his son, how could I just let it go like this?” Kahn said immediately. “I found a safe place to hide the blueprints and then stayed at the Taiwo family’s house to collect evidence.”

The hardships involved in this process are self-evident.

Since Vorn's disappearance, Kahn's treatment deteriorated rapidly, becoming no different from that of an ordinary servant. Even so, he gritted his teeth and silently endured it.

Kahn knew that the most suspicious person was the blacksmith behind the Taiwo family, who must have done this to his father out of peer pressure.

Rogurd, who turned a blind eye to the matter, is also absolutely implicated.

He vowed that no matter how much time and effort it took, he would expose the true colors of these two men and avenge his father, Warnter.

“Isn’t this good enough?” Felix said, frowning.

This was clearly a story of enduring humiliation and hardship to avenge his father, and he was quite moved by it.

Despite being moved, the sword he held to Kahn's neck did not waver in the slightest.

“But I failed.” Kahn gave a bitter smile. “I investigated with all my might, but all the clues went cold with Rogurd. He was the only one in the entire Taiwo family who knew the blacksmith’s true identity.”

"Just when I thought I was at my wit's end, Rogurd was suddenly wanted for treason."

Kahn became completely lost; he didn't know what the point of all his efforts over the years was.

He had no blood relation to the Taiwo family, and he escaped just in time, fleeing the moment their home was raided.

The higher-ups certainly wouldn't care about a nobody; they would just arrest the important members of the Taiwo family and then go back to report. But it's not necessarily the same for the others.

The Valentin Merchant Guild could find out what the nobles who had dealings with the Taivo family knew in even greater detail.

They relentlessly pursued the scattered servants of the Taivo family, hoping to use them as clues to find the legacy left behind by the Taivo family and the mysterious blacksmith.

Kahn knew that falling into their hands would be no better than falling into the kingdom's hands, so he fled and by chance came to the village of Lumiel.

“I took advantage of my master’s soft heart and infiltrated the workshop,” Kahn confessed.

A blacksmith master who suddenly appeared attracted a group of his peers.

It looks so much like it.

Kahn certainly had reason to suspect that Sargozi was the mysterious blacksmith.

However, the closer they got to each other, the less he wanted them to be the same person.

Despite being just a suspicious person who had fled from war, Sagoci was able to treat him as his own son.

This made Kahn waver, fearing that he had forgotten his father's hatred.

So he risked putting the blueprints for "Congyunya" into Sargozi's room, hoping to see Sargozi's reaction.

If Sargozi really is that mysterious blacksmith, he will inevitably reveal his guilt and give himself away.

Even if he isn't, he can still use this blueprint to try and become a master forging expert, as compensation for his doubts about the other party.

However, Sargozi acted as usual, as if he had never received the blueprints.

“You could have just asked me about this!” Sargozi finally couldn’t help but say.

He had long seen through it; Kahn was hiding a secret.

The so-called test is simply waiting for the other party to be willing to reveal the secret.

I never expected it to happen in this way.

"Disciples don't dare."

Kahn lowered his head completely.

He regretted it as soon as he sent out the drawings.

If Sargocchi were to succumb to depravity because of these blueprints, like his father, he would be an unforgivable sinner.

“Then come and ask me,” Viner said, walking up to Kahn. “Do you want to know who the blacksmith behind the Taivo family really is?”

“Could it be—” Kahn’s lips moved slightly, his eyes flashing with rare panic.

“He’s a demon apostle,” Venere blurted out. “You’re not doubting me, are you?”

Kahn: "..."

"Do you think I would resort to underhanded tactics out of jealousy for a master blacksmith, or do you think I was able to forge master-level weapons for others when I was ten years old?"

While concern can lead to confusion, Kahn's handling of this matter was indeed disappointing.

The skill that Wiener displayed made Kahn subconsciously forget that this was a young man even younger than himself.

This is clearly different from the period of activity of that mysterious blacksmith.

"It was because of their collusion with the demons that the Taiwo family was punished for treason."

Venus reached behind him, and Lysty, understanding his meaning, handed him the Staff of Tyrhoth.

“This staff was forged from the heart of that apostle.” Venere planted the staff in front of Kahn and patted him on the shoulder. “I stole your chance for revenge.”

These words seemed to drain all of Kahn's strength; he knelt on the ground, sobbing uncontrollably.

Chapter 476 So who is Venere?

After the truth came to light, Venere took back both blueprints and left the workshop with Listy and the other woman.
