It took three full days for Abel to take Baby-5 to the island where Tosai, the most famous swordsmith in the North Sea, is located.
According to the family's intelligence network, this elderly Tosai master is the forger of Kuai Sword Shigure.
Although he only made one quick sword in his life, it was not even as good as Onimaru, the [Good Quick Sword of Fifty Works] in Abel's hand.
But this is already the most powerful knife maker that can be found in Beihai.
As for the more powerful ones, for example, Abel knew that Tenguyama Hitotsu, who created the [Twenty-one Great Knife Swords] Tianyu Yuzan and the third generation of Ghost Tetsu, stayed in Wano Country.
Even if he wanted to look for it, regardless of all other factors, it would be too late!
Arriving at Master Tosai's residence, Abel directly told the elderly man the purpose of his trip.
Although Master Tosai is nearly 80 years old, his love for forging swords has not diminished at all.
After hearing Abel's intention, he did not answer at first, but noticed the [Oni Pill] carried behind Abel's back.
"Young man, can I lend you your sword for a look?"
Because he wanted something from the other party, Abel simply took off the [Onimaru] and handed it to Master Tosai.
"Sure enough, it's a good sword with fifty strokes..."
Seeing the hunting heart, Master Tosai couldn't help but pull out the blade and look at it carefully. The expression on his face was happy for a while, and then he was disappointed. After rubbing it for a while, he reluctantly handed it back to Abel.
"What's the name of this knife?"
"Onimaru."
"Onimaru... the sword is as its name suggests. It's really a good sword. Just observing the skills has benefited the old man a lot. But it's a pity..."
"What's the pity?"
"The old man is getting old. I'm afraid he no longer has the energy to forge such a good knife. I really have more than enough ambition but not enough energy."
"Master Tosai is too modest. How can you know if you don't try?"
Abel immediately advised him.
Master Tosai sighed, "Have you brought all the materials?"
Abel suddenly felt happy and quickly took out all the materials and introduced them one by one. After all, the materials he took out were all from other worlds, and Master Tosai would not be able to recognize them even if he lived for hundreds of years.
"I really don't know where you found so many precious metal materials. This old man has really wasted his decades!"
Then he looked hesitant again, "It's just that although these materials are precious, they are too unfamiliar to the old man. The old man doesn't even know how much fire to use and how to calcine to remove the impurities and extract the essence, so how should he start?"
"Unless the old man can first study and understand all aspects of the properties of these materials before forging the knife, doing so reluctantly will be a waste and will ruin the old man's reputation."
Abel also knew that what the other party said was right, so he could only ask helplessly: "How long will it take?"
"It will take at least several months, or even longer."
Can't wait any longer, farewell!
When Abel heard that it would take so long, he felt numb. Isn't this a joke?
Then he heard the other person continue: "Do you have any other requirements for the size and shape of the knife?"
Although Abel had given up on forging knives here, he still replied out of politeness: "For both knives, it is best to make the blades serrated."…
Who would have thought that Master Tosai frowned when he heard this, "If you want to make a pair of swords, the materials here may not be enough, and you have to mix in some other metals."
"Besides... why does the blade have to be made into a jagged shape? This is too unsightly and a bit too vulgar!"
have to!
Before he could solve the previous problem, Master Tosai threw him two more problems.
The materials in Abel's hands are naturally more than enough to make a knife, but if it is to make a pair of knives, it is a bit stretched.
This is something he didn't consider originally, which was a mistake!
Regarding this, he has nothing to say for the time being.
What a good idea, I can only answer the second question first, "This is the request of the sword owner, and I am only entrusted by others."
After hearing this answer, Master Tosai's expression softened, but he was still unhappy.
After all, if you think about Kuai Dao [Shigure], you should understand that this Tosai master has a unique pursuit of beauty!
Obviously that kind of saw-like knife does not conform to the aesthetics of Master Tosai at all, and it is normal to feel a little repulsive.
Fortunately, Abel has already given up on this path, so there is no need to persuade the other party to accept it.
"Sorry to disturb Master Tosai today. It's just that the master of the sword wants to see the finished product as soon as possible, and he really can't wait for a few months."
Since business cannot be done without mercy, Abel explained it politely after putting all the materials away.
Seeing that Abel was about to leave, Master Tosai was a little confused.
After all, he had never heard of the precious materials that Abel brought out. If he missed it like this, he probably would never be able to build a better sword than [Shigure] in his life.
So he could only put aside the question of whether it was beautiful or not, and suddenly called Abel.
"How long did the sword master give you?"
Abel looked at the countdown on the order, "There are less than four days left."
"Four days? What can be produced in four days?! It's just a waste of resources!"
"This person... this person is really... pissing me off, old man!"
It can be seen that Master Tosai is really angry at this moment, his face is as red as a cooked prawn.
Abel was afraid that his blood pressure would soar and burst his blood vessels!
Needless to say, it is absolutely impossible for Master Tosai to take this job again.
Abel was also very embarrassed and quickly ran away with Baby-5 who was confused.
"Why was that old man so angry just now? Is it difficult to make two swords? There are still four days left."
Abel was also very tired and too lazy to explain, so he simply followed her and said casually: "Maybe it's because he's not good enough."
Baby-5 thought back to the way the old man was trembling with anger just now, and nodded in confirmation. He probably couldn't even pick up a hammer with that look, so pitiful~
After coming down the mountain, Abel did not leave in a hurry, but found a place to stay first.
Of course, staying here is not because he still has any expectations for the master of swordsmanship, but because there is not much time left, and he needs a quiet place to finally try his own method.
Under normal circumstances, it is indeed difficult to create two good knives that meet the requirements in less than four days.
What's more, there is no swordsmith who can take on this job.
Therefore, the last hope of completing the order can only be placed in the omnipotent system!
Abel took out the last item left in the [Newbie Gift Pack].
