"This scroll contains all the knowledge regarding the forging of County Arms," Krune said after he made everyone sit down, controlling his eyelids from twitching. "Please look through it and ask if you have any doubts."
He placed the scroll on the large table, revealing it completely, allowing countless diagrams, forging thods, and rows and rows of words to co into view.
Once everyone in the main hall looked at the scroll, they were shocked before Liu Heng's father muttered, "T-This is… written in code?"
"It is." Krune nodded, saying, "I encrypted them using the humming produced by our hamrs. It's sothing only we can understand. In short, it's the safest way to ensure the contents of this are never leaked. For anyone else, this is just a bunch of garbled letters and erratic scribbles."
"Amazing!" Liu Heng's father began to imrse himself into the logic presented on the scroll, muttering, "So, that's how we make the designs for the County Arms."
After all, until now, it was Krune that did the designing. Everyone else just blindly followed what he did to make the hamr County Arms.
With the scroll before them, they began to link them to the actions they had done, understanding how the hamr County Arms was produced.
Krune left them to their devices, smiling as he saw them discuss the contents of the scroll with great enthusiasm. He then said, "Mother said that news of the County Arms has been given to the family heads of various aristocratic families. In two days, they'll be coming here. So, you should also discuss who'll take charge of which family. Well, that's because you'll be tasked with forging their County Arms for many generations."
"What do you an by this?" Liu Heng's father frowned as he heard that.
"Well, what do you think would happen once all the prestigious families obtain County Arms?" Krune smiled, watching the eyes of everyone light up in surprise.
"Our clan would lose its standing," one of them spoke.
"Yes, our forging services would no longer be desired unless new aristocratic families erge," Krune said in response, nodding. "So, we'll make it seem like forging County Arms is more difficult than it is, only giving them one every six months. On top of that, they'll have to pay a lot for this."
"But, is this okay? Wouldn't the Emperor beco mad at our actions?" One of them frowned, shuddering for a mont in fear of the Emperor's wrath.
"If not for , there wouldn't have been any County Arms. Besides..." Krune smiled. "Did you forget how our forge works?"
Everyone shuddered as realization finally hit them, causing them to gaze at Liu Heng's father in suspicion.
Sighing, he nodded, saying, "Daxia Ting is the Emperor's daughter. Her identity has been kept secret because the Imperial Astrologer had predicted Liu Heng's birth as the next Emperor."
"A Star Imperial ister!" Everyone understood the reason, also understanding the reason why they wanted to prostrate every ti they gazed at Krune—Liu Heng.
"In other words, my authority is only below the Emperor's, at least based on what my mother told ." Laughing in response, Krune left the main hall. "Also, allow to forge the County Arms for the Imperial Family."
With that, he returned to the forge, having already thought of their design. Surprisingly, through his mother, the Emperor had already expressed his desire for the type of power they wished to wield.
Since they were royalty and would also beco the leading force against the Demons, Krune had been preparing accordingly.
In the Liu Clan, the n wielded the Sun Hamr while the won wielded the Moon Hamr. He planned to keep the sa concept for every clan/family.
For Wang Hao, the County Arms he designed was an actual firebird. As Imperial Warlocks, they were experts in close-range combat. Their only weakness was long-ranged fights. So, to solve that, he made their County Arms that way.
Wang Hao's County Arms was in the shape of a firebird, while Chen Xue's was an ice bird. This way, their abilities had no apparent weakness.
Now, there were only a couple of weeks before they had to enroll in the Imperial Academy. Thus, Krune first sent them traveling to the academy. As for him, he planned to spend the next year forging as many County Arms for the Imperial Family as possible.
In the anti, Wang Hao and Chen Xue were to investigate the Su Family and matters regarding the Demon.
After all, Daxia Ting had inford him that the number of Demon Arms wielders was increasing in numbers. It was apparent that the Demon had made a breakthrough in its research.
Moreover, it had now gone towards the south of the Daxia Empire, making their habitat in a large forest, beginning to grow their numbers over there.
There were also reports of kidnappings in various cities, towns, and villages as people discontent with their lives were being brought over to the settlent in the forest.
She coined the term... the Demon City.
The two Demons there had begun to actively gather their strength in order to topple the Daxia Empire. So in response, Krune's County Arms were of trendous help.
'Based on mother's expression, sothing dangerous is brewing in the Demon City. Its location makes it impossible to raid with our army. If I'm not mistaken, Su Daiyu is the other Demon. Now that there's a male and a female Demon, what happens next doesn't even require much thought.' He sighed, muttering, "It's obvious since they established their stronghold."
Demon offspring!
Shaking his head, Krune began to forge the County Arms for the Imperial Family. When he was resting, the rest of the clansn began to work on their respective County Arms, forging for other families.
Ti passed in such a fashion as Krune wholly focused on his task, unaware of the sches that were being enacted behind the scenes.
…
"County Arms… that's troubleso." An arrogant voice resounded before issuing a command.
"Command the Yin Beasts to wreak havoc throughout the Daxia Empire. We'll have to ensure the resentnt of the populace continues to build up so that more Nightmares are birthed."
"Your commands shall be fulfilled, Lord!" Multiple voices responded in unison.
