Chapter 275 Reappearance of the Forging Blueprint

"[Isshinden] In my great-grandfather's generation, he was once ordered to make an important sacred sword according to an ancient forging manual. Although the craftsmen involved in forging the sword were all very experienced, the process was always unsuccessful, and all the swords made were defective."

"With the deadline for submitting the forged swords fast approaching, the swords were still not finished, and the responsible swordsmiths had no choice but to flee to avoid punishment. In order to investigate this matter, the Kaedehara family and the magistrate of the shrine respectively sent my great-grandfather and the head of the Kamisato family, and finally caught up with the craftsmen at the seaside."

"However, during the questioning and investigation, they encountered fierce resistance from the other party and ultimately failed to prevent the defectors from leaving by boat. The Kaedehara family was severely punished because of the defection of their swordsmith, and never recovered."

"Not only that, I heard that the head of the Kamisato family was injured by a defector during the investigation and, coupled with his advanced age, he passed away not long afterward."

As soon as he finished speaking, Wan Ye sighed regretfully at Ayaka Kamisato.

When Ayaka Kamisato heard Manyo mention it, she naturally took over the conversation.

"Yes... Because of the sudden passing of the head of the family, the Kamisato family was leaderless for a time, and some villains took the opportunity to cause trouble, making their position in the magistrate's office precarious. This matter had far-reaching consequences, and even after the position of head of the family was passed to my father, the Kamisato family still failed to regain its former prestige."

"Fortunately, with my brother here, everything... is finally starting to get better."

After saying that, Ayaka Kamisato let out a long sigh of relief, then smiled.

"The failure of forging the sword back then was ultimately attributed to [insufficient skill], and the Maple Leaf family and the magistrate of the company have always believed this. But the story of the Five Song Immortals seems to suggest that the failure was not due to skill, but because the forging blueprint had been tampered with."

As Manyo spoke, he turned to look at Ayaka Kamisato.

"Miss Kamisato, I heard yesterday that the blueprints have been kept by the magistrate since the failed sword forging attempt. I wonder... if you would be willing to help me with this?"

“I understand. In that case, I’ll go back and find the map first. Everyone can meet me at Kamisato House later.”

After giving a brief nod, Ayaka Kamisato turned and left.

After a while.

The scene changes.

"Everyone, I have found the map from back then."

After saying that, Ayaka Kamisato subconsciously presented the diagram to everyone's view.

"Hmm... Although the map is well preserved, it looks like it's at least three or four hundred years old."

Barbatos, standing to the side, stroked his chin earnestly before speaking.

"Can such an ancient map still be found to have been tampered with?"

After hearing Barbatos's guess, Xingqiu asked in confusion.

"At this point, we can only try our luck."

After saying that, Barbatos chuckled, then took the diagram from Ayaka Kamisato's hands and soaked it in water.

Sure enough, after being soaked in water for several tens of seconds, the graph gradually underwent some changes.

"Although the effect is not very obvious, you can see that some words have become blurry."

After careful observation, Abedo pointed to the diagram.

“Wan Ye, this means that… this map has indeed been tampered with, so it is true that someone framed the Maple Leaf family back then.”

"Phew... I wonder if discovering this secret now is... too late."

After saying this, Wan Ye lowered his head, feeling a heavy weight in his heart.
