Last night, Ivan had accidentally stayed up late, which caused him to laze in bed this morning.

Noticing the movements of the person beside him, Ivan frowned and pulled her into his arms, refusing to let go. The cool and soft touch made him close his eyes comfortably, and he soon fell asleep again.

"Master, you should get up …" Jiazhou Qingguang was helpless. He struggled for a while but could not get out of the embrace.

Why was his master so strong?

She clearly looked very weak.

"Hmm … Just a while more …"

He had no choice but to pinch Ivan's waist, causing Ivan to jump up in pain.

"How dare you offend your superior and disrespect the master." Ivan pretended to be angry.

Jiazhou Qingguang did not even lift his eyelids. He got up and got dressed quickly. "I still have to make breakfast. Come down immediately after you're done washing up." He pointed at the time. "It's getting late."

The clock pointed to nine o 'clock. Ivan rubbed his nose awkwardly. He didn't have the habit of lazing in bed, but it seemed that bad habits were particularly easy to develop, and he learned it without a teacher. He had only lived here for a week and had been served comfortably, so he had lost many of his good habits.

After washing up and eating breakfast, he watched the group of children go on an expedition.

He took out the summoning stone from his pocket, but Maeda rejected it this time.

"Master, the expedition is not dangerous at all. The Great White is so powerful. It's better to let him go to the front line with Mr. Jiazhou."

Jiazhou Qingguang, who was going to the front line, said, "Master, you don't feel safe at home alone. It's better to let the Great White protect you." After saying that, he looked meaningfully at Yiqi Yizhen, who had been silent all this time.

… He needed the Great White's protection?

Did he look so weak?

Silently keeping the summoning stone, Ivan sat in the corridor and drank tea alone.

It was a pity that he was forced to live like an old man at such a young age.

Why were his children so hardworking?

…

…

…

Ivan sighed and put down the teacup. "Can you stop looking at me like that?

I can't even drink tea. "

"… I'm very sorry."

A blue figure walked out from the shade of the tree and stopped in front of Ivan. "I haven't thanked you for saving me."

Ivan was surprised. After all, this man only gave him a ferocious look, although he did not offend this person.

"Anyway, have a seat."

Ivan rubbed his chin and tried hard to recall the man's name. Hmm … It seemed to be a very delicious name.

"Strawberry?"

Because they had the same pronunciation, Yiqi and Yizhen didn't notice anything wrong. They nodded and sat beside Ivan.

"Thanks to you, I got to meet my brothers again."

A trace of grief flashed through Yiqi Yizhen's eyes when he said the word 'little brother'.

"They are all adorable children." Ivan's eyes curved as he smiled gently.

"How long can you love them?"

Yiqi Yizhen asked softly. Ivan was stunned. Yiqi Yizhen did not give him time to answer. Instead, he continued, "My master loved them very much in the beginning."

Yiqi Yizhen calmly narrated his story. His voice was as cold as a third bystander. The more Ivan listened, the more frightened he became.

What kind of person would be able to keep a straight face and even happily push the daggers into the dismemberment pool?

Death God Fu had a humanoid form, but his body was as fragile as a human's. He could feel pain, he could bleed, and he would be roasted and melted painfully under the high temperature. Ivan's hair stood on end just thinking about that scene.

"Humans are so scary no matter which world they are in," Ivan murmured.

Yiqi Yizhen had been observing Ivan's words and actions. His brothers seemed to rely on this person. They had been speaking good words for him since last night.

Ever since he saw the scene of this person playing with the swords last night, Yiqi Yizhen had an indescribable feeling in his heart. His original owner didn't even give them a proper smile, let alone play with the swords.

While he wanted to believe his brothers, he could not help but think back to what happened to his original body.

The Divine Inquisitor was hard to believe, but the daggers had no choice but to rely on him to survive.

So what if this Divine Inquisitor was in front of him? Although he gave off a clean and holy aura, and his eyes were not fake, no one could guarantee what he would become in the end.

Losing happiness after obtaining it was even more painful than being unlucky in the beginning.

Why not now …

With a sharp pain on his head, Yiqi Yizhen regained his senses. He did not know when the person in front of him took out the cross.

"Evil energy, come out." Ivan used the cross to hit his head again. This time, it was intentional.

"Fox's Assistance has already reported this to the government. There should be a result in a few days. Although what happened to you is very sad, it's all in the past. We have to look forward."

Yiqi Yizhen smiled bitterly. How could he not know? But he could not let it go. That was why he had fallen. To be honest, he really hoped that he would disappear just like that.

"Even I can't heal the trauma of the heart. Anyway, you should stay here for now. As you can see, other than Qing Guang, my other brothers are all daggers. If you can take care of them for me, it would be a great help."

Ivan rubbed the head of this man who seemed to be about his age, just like how he doted on the daggers. "At least leaving behind some good memories is not a bad thing, is it?"

No matter how things developed, if this blue man in front of him disappeared, Ivan hoped that this group of cute little guys could slightly soothe this man's pain. At least in the end, he would not die in too much pain.

Yiqi Yizhen finally gave Ivan a smile. It was so gentle. Perhaps this was the original him. Ivan could not help but think.

"Really, thank you very much."

***

After the daggers returned, Ivan gathered all the daggers for the first meeting of the Honmaru.

"That's it. Before Fox's Assistance finishes dealing with the matter, I'll have to rely on everyone." Ivan turned his head and smiled at Yiqi Yizhen. "During this time, I'll be counting on you, Mr. Strawberry."

The daggers in Suda Kou were very happy. Ivan simply gave them a holiday. Jiazhou Qingguang, Jinjian, Koyazufumi, and Aizen were responsible for the formation.

Jiazhou Qingguang was almost starting to get used to the human body. He rarely got injured. As the first dagger, he took care of the other daggers.

Fox's Assistance disappeared for three days. During these three days, Ivan and Yiqi Yizhen also talked a lot. Most of it revolved around the operation of the Honmaru. Ivan wanted to hear the conclusion of the experience.

It was easy to say, but difficult to say. The Honmaru was more like a castle for the inquisitors. In addition to the template provided by the government, they could also freely build it according to their own preferences.

In other words, if Ivan smashed a big hole in the open space and called it a fish pond, then the Honmaru would be a fish pond. As for how to perfect the fish pond, it would depend on the daggers and the inquisitors themselves.

Ivan could not help but clap his hands. It turned out that Mr. Swordsman knew everything. Even if he did not know, he could still learn.

Unfortunately, Ivan's time in office was too short. The basic team could not be gathered properly.

***

Three days later, when Ivan saw that he had enough resources, he immediately repaired the black history that had been destroyed by the explosion.

Thinking of the daily mission of forging daggers, Ivan decided to use the remaining materials to test the effect of the holy water.

After pouring the holy water on it, the fire was extinguished. Ivan was stunned for a moment. He hesitated for a moment and touched the black unknown object with his hand. It shattered into pieces as expected.

Hehe, Ivan laughed. Little Foxhound, let's talk about life.

Ivan glanced at the Honmaru pool and suddenly remembered Yiqi Yizhen's words. He simply left, closed the door, and locked it.

Heh, he had no fate with forging daggers anyway. What was the point of forging daggers?

Picking up equipment from the battlefield was the right way to go!

Ivan understood the true meaning of life.

***

Fox's Assistance finally brought back the news. It took much longer than Ivan expected.

According to Fox's Assistance, the incident this time was much more serious than expected. It seemed that a lot of Honmaru were involved.

However, Ivan did not think much of it. After all, it had nothing to do with him. It did not feel very real.

When Yiqi Yizhen heard that his master had been arrested by the government and sentenced to a lifetime of service, and that all the daggers and swords under his command had been released, he showed an indescribable smile. There was sadness, relief, and bitterness. It was as if a lot of emotions were twisted into a ball and finally turned into a sigh.

"But why didn't he disappear?" Ivan immediately sensed that something was wrong.

Fox's Assistance hesitated for a moment. "Because it was the first time the government heard that the dark fall had been removed. They inherited the information and planned to let you take it for follow-up observation …"

Ivan understood. They were using him and Mr. Strawberry as guinea pigs.

There were always exceptions and all explanations. The government was referring to the current situation.

"Okay, I don't care. What about you?"

It was better to say that Ivan still hoped that Mr. Strawberry would stay. The daggers liked him a little, but there was also a lack of adult men in the family. Moreover, this man was experienced and knew more than them. Fox's Assistance was not reliable.

"I'm Yiqi Yizhen.

The only tachi that Oda Kouyoshimitsu forged.

Fujiro is my younger brother. Please take care of him in the future. "

"Okay, please take care of him."

This sentence seemed to trigger something. Ivan felt that he had an indescribable connection with Mr. Strawberry. It seemed that this was the so-called contract.

Yiqi Yizhen also felt that the spiritual power in his body, which had been depleted day by day, was replenished.

The original master's spiritual power was not bad, but compared to Ivan's, it was a few streets behind. Moreover, Ivan's spiritual power made him feel more comfortable. It was as if even the depths of his soul had been purified. There was not a trace of impurities.

When the daggers of Oda Kouyoshimitsu knew that Yiqi Yizhen would stay, they were all very happy. They surrounded their brother all day long. Ivan felt that he had fallen out of favor.
