The Blade (刀)

The Field of the Great Hold.

l don't know what it is.

very far from each other.

But he never told me why.

l remember hearing many dialects.

l learned a few of them.

Daddy was telling me

many trade stories.

Everything was a matter of commerce

to him.

lf we want something,

we have to buy it... and pay it.

"sale" and "payment".

Daddy used to say:

Justice?

lt's hard to define.

But we can't predict anything.

The one being unfair might be you.

Then it's pointless to have any remorse.

No one will feel pity for you.

I never knew what daddy was doing.

Until the day

when I saw pretty lights at my window.

They were blinking.

Just like in a fun fair.

lt was wonderful.

My imaginary world fell apart.

That's when l started to spy

on daddy's activities.

lt's made of three thin steel layers.

lt involves two men.

The day he arrived,

l'm responsible for the scar on his face.

l was five years old, he was seven.

He didn't say a word when l hurt him.

l will owe him forever.

My debt is on his face.

Puss!

Puss!

THE BLADE

l always had a nasty thought on my mind.

l want to start a fight

between those two men.

And the winner will belong to me.

l already decided of the place and time.

The fight of my dreams will start soon.

Come to the kitchen to drink some soup.

Come to the kitchen to drink some soup.

But this fight isn't theirs.

lt's between me and two men.

How to share a bowl of soup?

Where did Ding On and lron Skull go?

Where are they?

l didn't know l would pay for it later.

This copper tin is magnificent.

lt's beautiful.

What is it? - lt comes from the West.

A kind of God?

Who did it save?

lt's an amulet.

How much?

l saved some.

Let's kill this pig!

Look at him. He's chatting up.

Pay him later.

Help him find a girl. Hurry up.

Let go of me!

You wanted to fight, didn't you? Run!

Are you sure of the price?

lt's expensive. Did you count it well?

it makes 1 6.

Just for that? Too expensive.

Boss!

There's a problem with the bill.

ls someone refusing to pay?

Grab the knives.

Five knives to skin the ox.

Damn monk!

Never try the impossible.

The money is on the table. - Thank you.

Count it safely.

Let's run! Let's run!

Master! Master!

lron Skull!

Let's run.

Are you crazy? Stop! - But that's him.

Let them come if they dare!

Are you afraid to show yourselves?

Avenge him?

We still have goods to deliver.

lron Skull!

Where are those hunters?

We're working at the swords factory.

Our brothers will fight against you.

Come tonight if you dare.

Meet at the wood warehouse.

We're making swords.

lron Skull and Ding On have changed.

They don't talk to me anymore.

lron Skull keeps staring at this ball.

And Ding On is looking up.

They weren't like that before.

The fight of my dreams will start soon.

Will l be the stake?

lt doesn't matter

as long as the winner

belongs to me.

l hate those hunters! Let's kill them!

What's going on?

No deliveries today?

What are those swords for? ls it war?

So what? Do you plan to kill them all?

Are you here to make swords or to fight?

Do you know how to fight?

Why are you watching Ding On?

Harder!

Harder! - Well done.

Harder! - Well done!

Speak! Speak!

Harder!

l'll fight if you won't.

Do you persist in your choice?

Master, they want to help people.

Do you want to fight too?

Kneel!

lt was a monk.

Why didn't anyone intercede?

Boss, you're a buddhist.

Does Buddha promote violence?

l want to keep up my reputation.

l won't let anyone slander me.

Go up to take the sign off!

Have you heard? - This monk was killed.

Silence!

Quiet. lt's none of your business.

Say something!

Two days later,

l never imagined things would change.

This day, l entered

lt's a bloody ceremony.

Keep quiet. You'll throw flowers soon.

You'll catch butterflies.

And you'll buy a nice vase to put them in.

l'm not a child anymore. l grew up!

l decided

that if l could, l'd kill them all.

But l wasn't able to do it.

lts history

encourages us to be good.

lt will be Ding On.

He's with me since the beginning.

That's why he will succeed me.

Master!

lf you can't do it, who will?

l want to pass it on to you.

My decision is made.

His orders will be mine.

You will do as he says.

Any suggestions?

Put this on.

We have no future here.

Unless we do like Ding On.

Fake loyalty towards the master.

lt did him good.

l won't accept this traitor as a master.

How will he run the company?

All he can do is breaking swords.

He wants to be her husband!

Let's go first.

Why are you quarrelling?

Why don't you want to wear armour?

What kind of attitude is it?

Put on the armour or l'll break your jaw!

They're gonna hate him.

Ding On's father died so miserably.

Even if he thinks he's indebted to him,

it's gonna kill him.

Daddy is indebted to him?

His father died miserably?

What happened?

He was hung and skinned alive.

lt was horrible!

And l could see his face.

Since that night,

the nightmare everybody had forgotten

suddenly reappeared.

l had never seen him like that.

Tell me!

My last name isn't Man.

What was your father's name?

l believe it was Lai.

"His sword weighs more than 50 kg"

Did he die miserably?

How did he die?

He was killed by a powerful man.

A terrifying man able to fly.

His body is covered with tattoos.

he met some pillagers.

He managed to escape with his people.
