The Wall Shall Knight You

I am always saying this!

HOW DOES ONE "ACCIDENTALLY" BECOME EMPEROR?

this is a horrible knife. i didn't think i was capable of being inadequate until i made this knife. it's engorged.

Too large?

look at it. it looks like a fertility device. it's too fat to be an envelope opener. *in despair* it needs to be destroyed...

this is what i get for trying to use scrap metal. i touch this with a hammer and it will shatter. it just won't alloy... *hands it over for inspection*

It is perhaps best broken before anyone who sees it is *inspired*

ah. *burying face in hands* the teenagers. you would think they'd have enough to experiment with without desecrating my forges for things like this... Mu-shidi, could I trouble you to shatter that? I can't bear to look at it for a single moment more... it's repellent...

*it turns into literal powder* ...Mu-shidi is very powerful...

*sighs* goodbye, fat knife... this is a better end than what my kids would have subjected you to... i apologize for bringing you into this world... *kicks sand over the powder*

At least its existence was a brief one

Brief and uneventful, like many lives... *tosses an arm over your shoulder and walks you away from the cremated knife* have you ever doubted your skills, Mu-shidi?

I'm a doctor. I had best be willing to be open to being wrong.

*waves hand* Well, all of us are often wrong; no matter how high our cultivation gets, we're ultimately still human... what I meant was, have you ever done something a thousand times, and the thousand-and-first time you faltered?

*sighs again. ah, wrong person to ask this question to...* Apologies, shidi; lives depend on you, and you are certainly more careful with yourself than I am; besides, it might not be pleasant to remember...

I am sure there are others who feel similarly. Shang Shixiong, or Shen shixiong.

well, I will ask them when I see them! They will certainly have anecdotes to share. Do you think raising my cultivation would help me work better? Perhaps I should focus on my cultivation instead of making new weapons for a while... *looks bummed about it*

Perhaps. A good break can help you come back stronger than before! You could take on some missions, or go on a research trip

*shakes head* I was thinking more along the lines of secluded meditation. Although it always bores me to tears, and I come out of it feeling worn out, it is the fastest and most stable way to develop...

If you wish to...

*dramatically faints back onto mu qingfang* I really don't want to! Mu-shidi, do you know a fast way to work on my cultivation without having to be alone for months on end?

Oh? *peeks up at him* What does Mu-shidi mean? *thinks* I could probably tolerate seven- no, eight medicinal teas a day... but no more!!

Ah... Oh! *laughs* It's certainly very kind of Mu-shidi to offer, and of course I would be honored! *stands up properly and thumps him on the back cheerfully* Swords are, of course, my expertise, ahaha!
