The weapons I forge are absolutely flawless.

"Miss Lisette is getting more and more beautiful."

"Miss Lisette, this is for you."

From the mansion to the market, greetings rose and fell, and Lisette had to keep stopping to return them.

As Vena admired the daffodil wreath on Lisette's head, she couldn't help but tease, "You're quite popular, Miss Lisette."

"They only extended their affection to me because they love my parents."

Lisette rubbed her face, trying to straighten her stiff smile. "Why don't you think about how we can keep shopping?"

The two had only been out of the mansion for a short time when they returned the gifts no less than twenty times.

It wouldn't have been that much originally, but the key point is that Lisette has been away from home for a long time and brought back a boy her own age, which makes it hard not to be curious.

At this rate, forget about shopping; we might as well just set up a table and have a meet-and-greet with Lisette.

Actually, there is a very simple solution: use the illusion of a mirage to disguise the two of them, so that they can hide in the crowd and not be noticed.

But Wiener had no intention of adopting this low-key approach.

He just wanted others to see that Lisette was his girlfriend.

“I have a plan,” Viner said.

"Why don't you use the 'illusory flower in the mirror' technique to deceive us—alas!"

Before Lisette could finish speaking, Venere suddenly stretched out his arms and picked her up in one swift motion.

"That way they won't feel comfortable coming up to bother us."

Venus, holding Lisette in her arms, said this with a straight face.

"you you you--"

Lisette was so shocked she couldn't speak.

She was very shy, and when she was alone, she took the initiative, which took all her courage.

This does prevent other people from coming up and bothering you, but it also makes you more conspicuous!

"Unwilling?" Wiener countered.

"Hurry up."

Lisette buried her face in Vina's chest, blushing with embarrassment, hoping to escape this awkward situation as soon as possible.

But Venere will not do as she wishes.

He couldn't wait to show Lisette's beauty and loveliness to everyone who passed by.

After a long period of mental preparation, Lisette finally calmed down and prepared to face the "public execution" with Venus, but Venus suddenly stopped.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

The sound of hammering iron blocks came from beside Lisette's ears. Lisette looked up and followed Vena's gaze. Sure enough, it was a blacksmith's shop.

Seeing that Venus was staring intently at her and not paying any attention to her appearance, Lisette felt a little jealous and gently nudged Venus to put her down.

"...You want us to date at the blacksmith shop from now on, right?"

“No way,” Wiener immediately shook his head. “If I had to choose, I’d recommend the library; it’s more exciting.”

Lisette: "?"

Before Listy could think further, Vena summoned a wooden box from her ring and said, "Your father came to see me today."

"He didn't make things difficult for you, did he?" Lisette blurted out.

"No, he just gave me these materials."

As she spoke, Wiener opened the box, revealing the materials inside.

Lisette immediately recognized their origin and understood a little better: "So you only started using them because you got good materials?"

Just as one might be captivated by a rare grimoire, a blacksmith would be equally eager to acquire fine materials.

If that's the case, then it's forgivable.

“Yes,” Viner nodded, “if he had a better weapon, he wouldn’t have gotten into such a tough fight this time.”

If Faldvi had possessed a Rank B weapon, that single strike would have sliced ​​off the Frostwolf's skull, rather than merely blinding it.

Upon hearing this, Lisette immediately jogged into the blacksmith shop, negotiated with the blacksmith's owner, and then waved to Vina outside.

"The boss agreed to lend us the equipment for half a day."

"Thank you very much."

Wiener stepped forward, nodded his thanks to the blacksmith, and then placed the wooden box on the workbench.

The fangs of the Frostwolf are incredibly sharp; with just a little polishing, they can become excellent material for forging spearheads.

It's rare to find such high-quality animal teeth from the same source; using them only to forge spearheads would be a real waste.

Moreover, the weapon that Fadvi was most skilled with was the sword, not the spear.

After a moment of contemplation, Wiener had a flash of inspiration and finally decided what kind of weapon he wanted to create.

He took a long, thin iron box and put all the Frostwolf Fangs into it. Then he picked up a steel rod and, as if grinding medicinal herbs, finely crushed the fangs into powder.

A whole pearl is far more valuable than pearl powder that has been ground into powder.

A complete frost wolf fang is far more precious than ground bone powder.

If other blacksmiths were to witness this, they would likely be heartbroken and berate him for wasting such a fine item.

But Wiener didn't care.

Because his next move will be even more astonishing.

Vena took out a few more pieces of black iron from her ring and threw them into the furnace, then looked at Lisette: "Can I borrow a light?"

Chapter 497 The Two Swords of Unrivaled Power

When Lisette was still a third-tier Emblem User, Vena borrowed fire from her to roast meat. Now that she is a seventh-tier high-level Emblem User, she still cannot escape the fate of burning the furnace.

In a sense, it can be considered as staying true to one's original aspirations.

Is this temperature okay?

Lisette manipulated the flames and asked, as if she were asking if the water temperature was suitable.

It wasn't that Vena was deliberately exploiting her; it was simply that the blacksmith's furnace couldn't reach the temperature needed to melt the black iron, which is why she asked Lisette for help.

"Let's just keep this temperature."

Wiener didn't use his eyes to see, but listened to the hissing sound coming from inside the furnace, judging the degree of heating by the sound.

For ordinary forging flames, it is necessary to find the optimal ratio of fuel to air and increase the temperature by pressurizing. Even so, the temperatures of the outer flame, inner flame, and flame core are all different.

But the flame that Lisette creates is different from others. It is stable and uniform, and the temperature remains consistent from the center to the periphery of the flame, which greatly facilitates forging.

While the cold iron was gradually heating up in the furnace, Wiener quickened his pace.

The iron rods used for tamping were worn down and pitted, which showed how hard the Frostwolf's Fang was. Unfortunately, under the strange power of the Vina Sutra, it could not escape the fate of being crushed.

"Alright!" Viner suddenly stopped what he was doing and looked at his girlfriend.

Almost the instant he finished speaking, Lisette manipulated the spell to reverse it.

The blazing flames transformed into a liquid mass, enveloping the molten cold iron, and slowly drifted towards Vina.

This liquid appears to be no different from water, but its boiling point is surprisingly high. When it comes into contact with molten iron, it neither reacts nor mixes, but instead flows in distinct layers.

Venere poured the crushed powder into two prepared sword-shaped molds, then raised a finger to Lisette, indicating that only half should be used.

Listy immediately understood. She waved her arm, and the ball of molten iron floating in the air split in two. One half flowed into the sword-shaped mold in front of Venus and mixed with the tooth powder, while the other half remained liquid, suspended in the air to keep warm.

Wiener took a deep breath, raised the forging hammer, and began forging along with the mold on the anvil.

With just a few simple blows, the mold began to crumble under the strain, but Wiener did not stop there; each strike became even more powerful.

Under the repeated folding and forging of the forging hammer, the gradually solidifying molten iron and the tooth powder adhering to it gradually merge into one, becoming indistinguishable from each other.

Once the sword blank was formed, Viner put down the forging hammer, cut his palm with his fingertips, and let his blood drip and seep into it.

The sword embryo seemed to crave the nourishment of this blood, greedily absorbing it.

After the sword blank had drunk its fill of blood, Venere dripped the still-dripping blood onto another mold, then raised the forging hammer again to begin a new round of forging.

Cordelia Mansion.

Upon their return, the two asked the head maid for Fadevi's location and went to find him.

"You said you had a gift for me?" Fadvi raised an eyebrow slightly, looking at Viner with a hint of suspicion and wariness.

“I don’t need it. Don’t expect to please me with something like this. You’d be better off spending that energy on Lisette.”

The gifts, given as a matter of courtesy, were already far more than what Felix had brought.

Fadevi was even having a bit of a headache about how to return the courtesy.

If he were to accept this gift again, wouldn't he appear to be a greedy person?

"What if I said that this contains a bit of Lisette's affection?"

Having understood his father-in-law's personality—seven parts arrogance and three parts spoiled—Vina had her own way of dealing with it.

"...If it's a gift from a daughter to her father, let's take a look."

When it was mentioned that it was Lisette's intention, Fadvi's attitude softened noticeably.

Vena smiled slightly, then took out two sword cases from her ring and handed them to Lisette beside her.

“Dad, your old sword was destroyed, so Vina and I forged two new ones together. Take a look and see if they are suitable.”

Lisette placed the sword case on the table and opened it.

As the sword box slowly opened, two gleaming swords were revealed.

How could a martial artist not love weapons? By the time Fadvi came to his senses, he had already taken both weapons into his hands.

“This is a weapon forged using the Frostwolf Fangs that you gave me,” Vena explained.

If relying solely on Frostwolf Fangs, one weapon could be forged at most, so Viner used Frostwolf Fangs as a secondary material and used Ebony Cold Iron as the primary material.

"Didn't I tell you to use it to protect Lisette?"

Fadevi's tone was clearly displeased. He immediately put down the sword in his hand and stared sharply at Vina.

How could such a divine weapon be wasted on a wretched old man like him?

“It’s to protect my parents-in-law, and naturally, it’s also to protect Lisette.” Venere calmly shook her head. “Or do you think Lisette is the type who doesn’t care about her family and friends as long as she’s doing well?”

“Uh…” Fadvi opened his mouth, but couldn’t give an answer.

“In the next few years, the frequency of the demons’ activities will only increase. If the two of you do not have any trump cards to protect yourselves, Lisette will not feel at ease outside.”

"Please, Father-in-law, accept these two swords," Vena pleaded again.

After a moment of silence, Fadvi finally picked up the sword again.

He gripped the sword hilt, feeling its perfect fit, as if it were tailor-made for him. Even though it was the first time he had ever seen it, it gave him a strange sense of familiarity.

After all, these two swords not only embodied Venus's hard work, but also Lisette's emotions.

Fadevi had seen many weapons forged by master blacksmiths, but those weapons did not give him the same sense of awe as the weapons in his hand.

"Do they have names?" Fadevi's defenses were finally completely broken down.

“The one you have is called Tessaiga, and the other one is called Tenseiga,” Venere replied.

"Ha, forged from the teeth of a frost wolf, so it's named after teeth?" Fadvi suddenly laughed, then abruptly swung his sword, flicking another sword at Vina.

Wiener reached out and caught the sword, then continued, "Father-in-law, are you dissatisfied with this sword?"

“I don’t carry that many swords,” Faldwig replied. “Since there are two, one for each of us.”

This was his last act of defiance.

“Then I will keep this one,” Wiener said, indicating his understanding.
