Maiden Of The Splitting Moon Chapter 95

"Name it?" Ming Yue said, she had to rename the weapon .

"Of course, to reforge a blade is to breathe life into it . Giving it a new life also means giving it a new name", Lord Qin said .

"Don't worry, I won't rush you . Giving a weapon their name requires a fair bit of thinking . Now then, since I opened this up, I should probably work on some other projects . "

He quickly ran off, picking up an unfinished chestplate . It was designed quite strangely, the front had an engraving of the words "Stupid" on it for some reason* . There were a number of questionable spikes on the back as well .

Ming Yue watched him set off before looking back to her new sword . It was shorter by an inch or so, a width of three fingers and a thickness of 9 millimeter . The weight had stayed the same at around five pounds .

The handle was quite nice, made from a dark stained wood and the center was wrapped with thin silver rope . The handle itself was seven inches long but not very thick, maybe an inch or so in diameter . The sword guard was small and thin . Made of the same materials as the blade, it had a bright silvery color and the top and bottom had simple engravings on it . The pommel was a simple one inch long cap of the same color as the guard .

The scabbard was truly special . Created from the same wood as the handle, it was somewhat flexible but durable . Shallow carvings of mountains and clouds covered it and a moon and sun took on both ends of the scabbard . The sun at the top and the moon at the bottom .

Holding the unsheathed blade in her hand, she gave it several swings to test it . The sensation she had when she swung was different . The balance of the sword was done differently and it seemed to glide through the air, so much sharper than before .

"That is why I had you feed it your blood and energy", Lord Qin said, his back facing towards her as he continued to hammer down random spikes of the chest plate .

"During the molding phase, the energy that you gave it was fully activated by your blood . With the help of the heat from the stone bed, it will integrate with the sword and imbued it with certain properties, therefore changing the internal structure . The whole thing with gems is modern technique, this is the ancient stuff . "

"So now, It is much easier to swing it and feels much sharper as it now has the element of wind within it . Whenever you use techniques, it will be much easier to execute them . "

She stared at the sword in wonder and began testing outside of the forge .

What he said was true!

It took her much less effort to execute something like Savage Tempest, it was even stronger than before . After a bit more testing, she went back to naming it . What would she name it? A mix between Splitting Moon and Parting Sun? Something completely different?

She knew she wanted to keep it similar to their names, something simple .

At this time, she heard someone call out .

"Is the Forgelord here?" A small figure ran through before stopping in front of Ming Yue .

Wearing trousers and wielding a black bow in her hands, Xuan Yin had arrived .

"Ming Yue? What are you doing here?" she said .

She looked back and showed her the sword .

"I''m getting a new sword . "

"I see, I'm also getting a new bow . "

Neither really knew what to say . After Maple Root City, the both of them split up in silence . Xuan Yin wanted to go back to get stronger . After a month or two of no contact, neither could really do anything to break the awkward silence .

"Oh girl! You're back again! Did you get what I asked for?" Lord Qin came out of the forge with the chestplate still in his hands .

"Ah, it seems like the both of you know each other . Come on girl, give me you bow and the things I asked for! After that, go spend time talking with that other lass!"

Xuan Yin gave him her black bow and a small bag . He retreated back into the forge, leaving the both of them alone .

After several minutes of silence, Xuan Yin was the first to speak .

"Have you been well?"

"Yes . "

"Is your new sword good?"

"It is . "

This was followed with a number of questions to which Ming Yue answered with a simple yes or now . It was quite hard to break the ice between them .

Lord Qin must have heard them because he yelled at them .

"Come on! You can do better than that! And I mean the both of you!"

With a little encouragement from him and a bit of time, speaking with each other was much easier .

Xuan Yin learned of the General Auction as well as Ming Yue's time in Rong Lu City .

"Damn, it happens every ten years? And I missed it? Agh!"

As for Xuan Yin, she had been spending more time training and traveling with her grandfather . She even visited Liqiu in Maple Root City twice to check up on her . She was no longer bedridden but was still weak . The three families had yet to make any moves, obviously still trying to recuperate from the incident .

Ming Yue was relieved to hear that she was feeling better . That much was enough to ease her mind .

"What are you doing right now?" Xuan Yin asked .

"I need to give this sword a name . "

"Oh, have you thought of anything yet?"

"No, not really . It is a lot harder than it sounds . This is going to be my sword, it will be by my side to the end . "

"How about something with the stars? There was Splitting Moon and Parting Sun, so maybe naming it after stars wouldn't be too bad . Or . . or maybe combining both the moon and sun together?" Xuan Yin thought hard on making more suggestions .

Ming Yue smiled, happy that Xuan Yin still had the same energy as before . She thought about her suggestions before contemplating between different names . Something that felt natural to her . In an instant, it came to her .

The perfect name .

"So far, Kong Zhi has not yet made any moves . "

"What? How strange, could he be planning something?"

Within the demon continent, things have been somewhat quiet . Not even the commanders nor the allied demons knew what to do . While there were skirmishes every now and then, it was not very chaotic . The human's armies continued to retake the land, rescuing more demons and ridding the land of any ungodly creature .

In fact, these creatures were bigger headaches than Kong Zhi . He merely continued to travel the land, growing his power . He has made no moves against the humans, no declaration of war, he just traveled around .

"I suggest we fight it out!" a burly man wearing heavy armor spoke out . His fist balled up and his face was fierce . He had an eye-patch on his left eye and a scar running down his face .

"Commander Nie Xia, I know you and your Yan Fu army is raring to go out in battle but now is not the time . We still have too little information about Kong Zhi, this could very well be a trap . "

"Indeed Commander Nie, It has only been a month or so since we arrived into the demon continent . Even though we've been tracking Kong Zhi, we have only mapped out a fifth of the continent with all of our scouts combined . There is a chance that he may be looking for something . "

"Hmph, I could say the same about him . We've only been here for a month after all . I doubt Kong Zhi would know everything about us . We could take him by surprise . "

At the head of the planning table, an old man in armor was deep in thought . With short hair and a small mustache, he seemed like a gentle old man but his large frame said otherwise . He was nothing but an experienced commander, a warrior of the highest degree .

"Commander Nie Xia", he said, "Exercise some restraint . If you're getting restless then go to the southern part here . According to some scouts, we have a small army from Kong Zhi trying to tame more beasts . Go stop their tracks . "

Nie Xia had a look of excitement, "Then let us depart!"

Quickly he ran off to mobilize .

"Commander Zi Jing, Yu Zhen, It was a good attempt to try and pacify him . Commander Nie Xia is a man who acts more than he speaks . It would be better to have move a bit . "

Commander Zi Jing was a young man who wore white scholarly robes . He carried five white swords and seemed nothing like the commander of an army . He had a calm demeanor and a face that could charm many .

Commander Yu Zhen was a middle aged woman who was dressed in a mix of leather armor and chainmail . At her side was a large saber wrapped in cloth . She had dark blue hair and a curvaceous but well trained body . Her charisma was among the best and she is an idol to many in her kingdom .

"Then commander Du Xiu, what do you suggest?"

"We can only move passively . There is nothing else we can do . "
