Douluo: Protects Our Spirit Hall

  Chapter 380 Subduing the God Craftsman Lou Gao

  Gengxin City is located in the southwestern hinterland of the Star Luo Empire, more than a thousand to less than two thousand kilometers from the northern Star Luo City.

  Starting from Star Luo City, if you travel at full speed in a horse-drawn carriage, it will take about twenty days.

  Because it is within the territory of the Star Luo Empire, the customs clearance and interrogation in various places is relatively strict. Ye Qifeng has the token of the Wuhun Temple, so the customs clearance is relatively smooth.

   After all, no matter how you say it, Wuhundian is the most powerful soul master force in the entire Douluo Continent. Although they are not welcome in the Star Luo Empire, no one dares to provoke them for no reason.

  It is only because of the cruel and harsh competitive environment of the Star Luo Empire, the competition is more intense in places far away from the Star Luo Imperial City, and the world seems a bit chaotic and not peaceful.

   It caused some delays in the itinerary and delayed a little time.

  When Ye Qifeng and his party arrived in Gengxin City, it was already a month later.

  Using the time of rushing, Ye Qifeng gave a good guidance on the cultivation of Fengxian.

  By the way, he also taught her the martial arts knowledge, combat skills, techniques, body skills, etc. that were taught to Mingyue and Ruiwen at the beginning.

  Fengxian is extremely intelligent and has excellent savvy, no worse than Mingyue and Ruiwen at all. He quickly mastered what Ye Qifeng taught her and mastered it.

  ...

   One month later.

  The group of four finally arrived outside Gengxin City.

  Across a long distance, Gengxin City is already in sight.

  Ye Qifeng and Nihuang got off the carriage with Qin Lan and Fengxian mother and daughter.

  Looking around, the tall city walls of Gengxin City instantly came into view.

  The city wall of Gengxin City is iron-gray with a metallic texture throughout. Unlike the walls of other cities, it is not made of bricks and stones, but made of metal casting.

   It seems to bring a strong visual impact to people.

   Although the city walls made of metal are not taller than the walls made of bricks and stones in other cities, they are many times stronger in terms of defense.

  Although they have not yet entered Gengxin City, Ye Qifeng and the others can already clearly feel the metallic aura coming from the city, as well as the scorching fire attribute aura.

  Looking at the metal city in the distance, the four people in the group had different expressions, but they were all shocked in the same mood.

  Ye Qifeng was smiling, and there was a light flashing in his dark and clear eyes, which contained a bit of inexplicable meaning.

  Nihuang stood as lazy and elegant as ever, with a hint of charm on her glamorous and pretty melon seed face. There was a faint smile on her red lips, and her beautiful eyes were slightly narrowed, as if she was enjoying herself.

  This kind of place full of fire attribute breath is a perfect cultivation environment for her. It is no different from a fire attribute mimicry cultivation place, which is very beneficial to her cultivation.

   And in a place with a strong fire attribute, her strength can also be greatly increased.

  Of course, it would be better without those strong metallic flavors.

   There are a large amount of various metals in Gengxin City, which contains a strong metallic atmosphere.

   Therefore, this city is also an excellent training ground for soul masters with weapon-like martial souls.

  For example, Fengxian's Wuhun Fangtian painted a halberd, which belongs to the weapon Wuhun.

  At this time, while her little face was full of shock, she also felt a little bit of enjoyment just like Nihuang.

  Qin Lan's expression was similar to that of her daughter Fengxian, her beautiful eyes widened and her red lips were slightly parted.

  The gentle and beautiful face has been filled with shock.

  It seems that it is the first time I know that there are such special cities in this world.

  It was the first time for Qin Lan and Fengxian, mother and daughter, to leave Xingluo Imperial City so far away. They followed Ye Qifeng and Nihuang and learned a lot along the way.

  ...

   not long.

   Several people successfully cleared the customs and entered Gengxin City.

  There are blacksmith shops almost everywhere in Gengxin City, and blacksmiths who forge iron can be seen everywhere, and almost 90% of them are men, and they are rough men with well-developed muscles.

   Of course, there are also some female blacksmiths, but they are relatively rare and belong to the rare existence.

  The women in Gengxin City, more often than not, are the family members of blacksmiths. In the blacksmith shop, they help out, or help sell forged utensils, take care of business, and so on.

  The carriage was passing through the streets of Gengxin City, and the sound of clanging and knocking could be heard all around. This was the main theme of Gengxin City, the sound of iron striking.

besides.

   There are also ubiquitous, one after another cries.

  In this city, whether it is weapons, armor, or other utensils, tools, utensils, and even handicrafts for entertainment, as long as it is metal products, everything is available.

   Of course, if you need some special items, you need to order.

   As for the cost, it needs to be determined according to the rarity of the material, the difficulty of making it, and the level of the blacksmith hired.

  The more advanced the blacksmith, the more valuable the things he builds, and the more expensive it is to hire.

   Blacksmiths are generally divided into seven levels.

  From low to high, they are junior blacksmith, intermediate blacksmith, senior blacksmith, blacksmith master, blacksmith master, blacksmith master, and master blacksmith.

  Customized items, generally speaking, just find a blacksmith shop in the city to order.

  The blacksmiths in Gengxin City belong to the Blacksmiths Association.

  Even if the blacksmith shop you are looking for is not capable of forging the items you need, it will report to the blacksmith association and hand over to a higher-level blacksmith to forge, so you don't have to worry about not getting what you want.

  Unless what you want is too wild and unconstrained, does not exist in reality, or lacks the required materials, or wants something that is too fine, powerful, and mysterious, beyond the comprehension of the craftsman.

   Otherwise, there would be nothing that the Blacksmiths Association could not forge.

  As for buying and selling metals, similarly, transactions can be conducted in any blacksmith shop.

  If the quantity is large, we have to start with the three parties in Gengxin City.

  The metal resources in Gengxin City are controlled by three powerful forces, namely the Blacksmiths Association, the Wuhun Temple, and the Star Luo official.

   Among them, the blacksmith association naturally accounts for the majority.

   After all, Gengxin City is a paradise for blacksmiths, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a city of blacksmiths.

  Whether it is rare metals or common metals, the Blacksmiths Association controls at least 70% of the proportion.

  As the most powerful soul master force in the Douluo Continent, Wuhundian also has a strong influence even in this remote Gengxin City, controlling 20% ​​of the metal resources in Gengxin City.

  As for Star Luo official

  Because the Star Luo Empire does not value the status of blacksmiths, the Star Luo official, as a local force, is actually the weakest party, and the metal resources it has mastered are not even a single one.

  However, in terms of rare metals, Wuhundian and Xingluo officials only accept and do not sell, and only the Blacksmiths Association, which is not worried about large quantities, will trade or auction them.

  So, if you want to buy rare metals, you can only find a way from the Blacksmiths Association.

  ...

  Go all the way along the street.

  Ye Qifeng and his party's goal is the main hall of Wuhun located in the center of Gengxin City.

  Ye Qifeng is going to meet the resident bishop of the main hall of Wuhun in Gengxin City.

   Obtain information from Gengxin City, the Blacksmith Association, and Shenjiang Lougao, and arrange Qin Lan and Fengxian's mother and daughter first by the way.

  Qin Lan is just a weak woman. After a long journey, she will inevitably be exhausted physically and mentally.

  Although Fengxian is already a great soul master, she is a little girl after all, and she will inevitably feel a little bit sleepy after riding a carriage for a long time.

   It is better to find a place first, so that the mother and daughter can have a good rest.

  Gengxin City itself is not too big.

not long time.

  The carriage stopped in front of the main hall of Wuhun in Gengxin City.

  Ye Qifeng led Nihuang and Qin Lanfeng, mother and daughter, out of the carriage together and paid the rental fee.

   Then, in front of the gate of the main hall of Wuhun in Gengxin City.

  Nihuang took out her elder token from the silver-white storage ring in her hand, and threw it to the main palace knight guarding the gate.

   Soon, Ye Qifeng and the others were led by one of the knights of the main hall to wait in the living room in the lobby of the main hall.

   Then the knights of the main temple left the living room and informed the garrison bishop to go.

  Knowing that the elders of the Wuhun Palace are coming, the resident bishop rushes over to meet Ye Qifeng and Nihuang.

  The resident bishop of the main hall of Wuhun in Gengxin City is an old man named Chris, who has the cultivation level of a soul saint.

   As early as half a year ago.

   Pope Bibi Dong has already started internal reforms in the Spirit Hall.

  As for the internal reform, the first thing to do is to renovate the Wuhun Hall, get rid of the cancer, and restore the Wuhun Hall to a clear and bright world.

  The first to bear the brunt are those moths, scum, and cancerous tumors.

  Wuhundian has been established for too long, and has accumulated disadvantages for a long time, and it is already riddled with holes.

  After a long period of preparation, secret planning, and investigation.

   Pope Bibi Dong, who had grasped many criminal evidences, immediately issued an order to set off a vigorous and thunderous sweeping operation inside the Spirit Hall.

   Cleaned up the moths, scum and cancers hidden in the Wuhun Hall.

  Myers, the former resident bishop of the main hall of Wuhun in Gengxin City, is on the cleaning list.

  Miles took advantage of the convenience of the bishop stationed in the main hall of Wuhun to act as a domineering power in Gengxin City, seek personal gain, bully men and women, and search for people's admiration.

  The relationship between Wuhundian and Gengxin City Blacksmiths Association was bad, and the positive image of Wuhundian among the people of Gengxin City was damaged. Death is not a pity.

  In the end, Miles and his subordinates who followed him were all captured by the law enforcement team of Wuhundian.

  After being tried in public and declaring the crime, they were executed together.

   Only then did Wuhundian save some face.

  After Miles was executed, the resident bishop of the main hall of Wuhun in Gengxin City was replaced by a gentler, kinder and innocent old fritter, Chris.

  Because there is a task specifically assigned by the Pope.

  During the half-year tenure, Chris worked hard and worked hard.

   Finally reversed the bad image of Wuhundian among the people of Gengxin City, eliminated the resentment and hostility in the hearts of blacksmiths, and at the same time improved the relationship with the blacksmith association.

  Because of his good-natured temperament and his eloquent old fritters, Chris, an old man, was quickly recognized by the senior officials of the Blacksmiths Association.

  Not only did they get along very happily, but they even called them brothers and sisters.

  ...

   After meeting with the resident bishop Chris.

  Ye Qifeng obtained the information he wanted, and settled down with Qin Lan and Fengxian, mother and daughter.

   Immediately afterwards, he was led by Chris, together with Nihuang, in a carriage and headed for the Blacksmiths Association Headquarters, which was also located in the central area of ​​the city.

  The blacksmith association general meeting is only two or three streets away from the main hall of Wuhun.

   Didn't take long.

  The carriage stopped in front of a tall building.

   "His Royal Highness, the Ninth Elder, the blacksmith association has arrived, please get out of the car."

  After the carriage stopped, Chris got out of the carriage first, and took the initiative to raise the curtain, speaking respectfully.

  Ye Qifeng got out of the car first, and in the gesture of Nihuang's smiling eyes, he stretched out his hand and pulled her down as well.

   After getting off the car, the two looked up at the tall building in front of them.

   I saw that this huge building was at least 30 meters high and covered a very large area.

   Directly above the building, hung a dark iron plaque with no words on it, only two raised patterns carved on it, a hammer and a chisel.

   There is no doubt that this tall building is where the Blacksmiths Association is located.

  The architectural style of the Blacksmiths Association is tall, rough, and unrestrained, without any gorgeous decorations, and there is not even a guard at the gate.

  The three gates were open, and there was a constant stream of people coming and going.

   From a long distance outside, you can hear the bustling noise coming from inside.

  Chris walked ahead first, leading Ye Qifeng and Nihuang to the blacksmiths association.

   In the process of walking in.

   Before Ye Qifeng and Nihuang could speak, Chris had already introduced them first:

   "His Royal Highness, the Ninth Elder, let me introduce you two."

   "The blacksmiths' association general meeting is divided into five floors."

   "The first floor is the trading area, which is mainly for blacksmiths to consign and sell various finished products and trade metals. The prices of the items sold here are relatively high, but the quality is guaranteed. After all, it is the blacksmith association."

   "The second floor is the high-end trading area, which sells relatively high-end and expensive things. For example, rare metals are traded on the second floor."

   "The third floor is the blacksmith registration assessment area, which is an exclusive area specially set up for blacksmiths to conduct grade assessment."

   "The fourth floor is the VIP area, which is also the auction area. Some particularly precious and rare casting items, as well as rare metals, etc., are regularly auctioned there."

   "And the fifth floor is the office area of ​​the Blacksmiths Association. The president of the Blacksmiths Association that Shengzi and Ninth Elders are looking for, the Godsmith Building is tall, is where he works."

   Speaking of which, Chris looked a little embarrassed:

   "His Royal Highness, Ninth Elder!"

   "Lou Gao has a weird temper. He rarely sees people and rarely goes out. I heard that he hides in his forging room every day, studying forging techniques and making things."

   "I haven't seen him a few times during the six months I've been stationed in Gengxin City. I can't guarantee whether I can see him today."

  Ye Qifeng didn't care much when he heard the words, with a confident smile on his handsome face, he smiled and said:

   "No problem."

   "Lou Gao is a master craftsman after all, it's normal to have a little temper."

   "Just lead the way, I have a way to make him come out to see me."

  For a pure craftsman like Lou Gao, Ye Qifeng knows what he wants and what he is interested in.

   And these things, he has already prepared.

  I believe that after seeing Lou Gao, he will definitely be interested and take the initiative to come out to meet him.

   It is not impossible to even make Lou Gao surrender.

  Of course, the goal of Ye Qifeng's trip is not only to subdue Lou Gao, the master craftsman, but also for the tens of thousands of blacksmiths belonging to the Blacksmiths Association and the metal resources controlled by their Blacksmiths Association.

   Thanks [Kefei] for tipping 200 starting coins!
