Eitri bent down and picked up the piece of Uru Metal, weighing it in his hand.
Although this metal was also Uru Metal, it didn't look like it came from Asgard.
The Uru Metal produced in Asgard always looked very beautiful and exquisite, unlike the piece in his hand, which looked like a whole stone.
"What kind of weapon do you want to forge?"
Eitri weighed the metal in his hand, then turned to Meng Ran and asked.
Although it was his first time meeting the demon, he had no reason to refuse this forging request for Thor's sake.
Meng Ran knew things were settled when he heard Eitri's words. He was delighted inside, but on the surface, he remained calm and took out his Blade.
"This is how I want it to be, roughly like this should be fine." Meng Ran said as he handed the Blade to Eitri.
Eitri held the Blade in his hand, examining it closely. In his large palm, the Blade seemed almost miniature.
"The material of your blade is quite good, but it lacks a bit in terms of hardness," Eitri said, stroking the blade and then flicking it lightly with his finger. After hearing the crisp sound it made, he turned to Meng Ran.
"What do you plan to do with this blade later?" Eitri shifted his gaze from the Blade and asked Meng Ran.
Meng Ran scratched his head upon hearing this and replied, "Probably just leave it idle. After all, it fought alongside me as a comrade, and I'd feel heartbroken to give it away or sell it."
Eitri fell silent after hearing Meng Ran's words. He seemed to be thinking, glancing between the Uru Metal and the Blade.
Thor had been standing nearby, listening to their conversation. He agreed with Meng Ran's sentiments, as he also regarded the Hammer of Thor as a comrade.
Finally, after a moment of contemplation, Eitri looked at Meng Ran and said, "I have a suggestion. Would you like to hear it?"
Meng Ran nodded and replied, "Of course. You're a master when it comes to forging weapons."
After receiving Meng Ran's reply, Eitri gathered his thoughts and began to speak, "It's like this. Your Blade is indeed extraordinary. I can sense that it even has a hint of its own thoughts, or, to put it simply, it has developed its own will."
"Although it's still very faint, it has indeed come into being."
"This characteristic usually only appears in some divine artifacts, such as Thor's Hammer and Odin's Gungnir."
"Because these weapons are of sufficiently high quality and have been tempered by a long period of time."
Hearing Eitri's words, Meng Ran immediately understood. He hadn't expected that his Blade had already developed its own will.
Indeed, as Eitri had said, for a weapon to develop a will, it not only needed to be of extremely high quality but also required a long period of time to accumulate.
However, Meng Ran also knew that he had only acquired the Blade for about three years. So, it would seem that the Blade had existed for a very long time before he obtained it, only being acquired through the system three years ago.
Eitri paused for a moment and then continued speaking, while Meng Ran, at this point, put away his wandering thoughts and continued to listen.
"Having such a characteristic is very valuable, so it would be a pity to leave it idle."
"I've also been researching some related things these past few years, so I think we can reforge Qie Yun and the Uru Metal you brought together and recast them into a new blade."
"The advantage of doing this is that we can preserve the consciousness Qie Yun has already developed, and because Uru Metal is added, its material is improved, so its consciousness will also be enhanced to a certain extent."
"However, everything has risks, and the risk of doing this might also cause Qie Yun's consciousness to disappear."
"So, you can seriously consider this proposal; the choice is yours."
After saying that, Eitri greeted the two of them and then went to take care of other things. He would come back to forge once Meng Ran had made a decision.
Thor also knew this was a difficult choice, so he patted Meng Ran on the shoulder and comforted him, "Actually, you don't need to be too conflicted."
"Since your blade already has its own consciousness, why don't you ask for its opinion?"
Hearing Thor's words, Meng Ran suddenly saw the light. It's easy to be confused when you're in the situation, but clear when you're observing.
That was indeed the case now. Since Qie Yun (Blade) already had its own consciousness, the choice should be left to it.
With his thoughts clear, Meng Ran raised the Qie Yun (Blade) he held tightly and carefully sensed its emotions.
The bright blade reflected cold light, and the grim appearance of the evil ghost was also reflected on it.
"You should have heard what was said just now, so what is your choice?" Meng Ran looked at the Qie Yun (Blade) in his hand and asked gently.
"To be reforged, or to remain as you are?"
After Meng Ran finished speaking, Qie Yun (Blade) didn't immediately send any information.
Meng Ran wasn't anxious about this situation. He sat cross-legged on the ground, looked at the starry sky outside, and waited for Qie Yun (Blade)'s decision.
A moment later, a subtle ripple emanated from the Blade lying before him.
Meng Ran immediately opened his eyes upon sensing this.
He picked up the Blade again and softly asked, "Have you made your decision?"
The Blade sent another subtle ripple in response to Meng Ran's question.
Feeling the ripple, Meng Ran continued, "Choose to be reforged."
Blade: ~~~
Meng Ran: "Choose to remain as is."
Blade: ---
Meng Ran: "So, you choose to be reforged, right?"
Blade: ~~~
After a few similar exchanges with the Blade, Meng Ran finally confirmed that the Blade had chosen to be reforged with Uru Metal.
After making his decision, Meng Ran stood up.
Thor, who was beside him, asked, "Have you made your choice?"
Thor didn't know what the final decision was, because the fluctuations from Blade were very weak, only Meng Ran, who was holding it tightly, could feel them.
"It chose to be reforged." Meng Ran replied to Thor's question.
Hearing Meng Ran's answer, Thor smiled and said, "It seems your blade is also a fellow who is not content with the ordinary."
Meng Ran also smiled and said, "That's right, we both yearn to become stronger."
Afterward, Thor found a dwarf nearby and explained the situation, asking him to find Eitri.
A moment later, Eitri came over with the dwarf.
"So, what's your choice?" Eitri looked at Meng Ran and asked him.
After hearing Eitri's words, Meng Ran first solemnly handed the Blade to him, then spoke loudly, "We choose to reforge."
