Douluo Dragon Emperor, the beginning of revenge against the Blue Lightning Overlord Sect.

This is an old man who can be said to look like a cube. He is only 1.6 meters tall and has a terrifying waistline of 1.6 meters. He has a pair of ear-catching ears and small eyes.

His messy hair looked like it hadn't been washed for an unknown number of days, and his robes and chubby face were covered with a lot of stuff that looked like dark silver metal powder.

"President, you are finally here!"

The blacksmiths on the first floor couldn't help but be pleasantly surprised when they discovered that the height of the building had finally come down.

After going downstairs, he saw the huge figure emerging behind Liu Fan, the Star Casting Dragon King martial spirit that penetrated the Blacksmith Guild, and the soul rings surrounding Liu Fan, especially the ninth one hundred thousand year soul ring. , Lou Gao’s chubby face was also stunned for an instant.

But soon, Lou Gao also recognized Liu Fan and couldn't help but walked over immediately, with a smile on his fat face and said respectfully.

"Lou Gao has met His Majesty the Dragon Emperor. It turns out that His Majesty the Dragon Emperor is here to visit. I wonder why His Majesty the Dragon Emperor came to our Blacksmith Guild?"

"Haha, this is not the place to talk. Let's talk somewhere else."

Liu Fan smiled lightly and said.

After hearing Liu Fan's words, Lou Gao couldn't help but narrow his eyes slightly, realizing that Liu Fan's visit this time was probably not just a simple visit.

But this was not beyond Lou Gao's expectation.

Lou Gao couldn't help but suddenly patted his head, laughed, and shook his head.

"His Majesty the Dragon Emperor is right. There are a lot of people talking here. We really have a place to talk. Let's go to other places to talk."

"Your Majesty the Dragon Emperor, please!"

Under the leadership of Lou Gao, Liu Fan followed Lou Gao to a reception room on the third floor of the Blacksmith Guild.

After entering the reception room and taking a seat.

Lou Gao asked someone to serve hot tea and then closed the door to the reception room.

Now, only Liu Fan and Lou Gao were left in the reception room.

Lou Gao couldn't help but smile, and looked at Liu Fan again and asked.

"Your Majesty the Dragon Emperor, now you and I are the only ones left here. Your Majesty the Dragon Emperor, can you tell me why you came to our Blacksmith Guild this time?"

"hehe."

Liu Fan took a sip of hot tea and smiled calmly while stroking the teacup.

"The purpose of my coming is actually very simple. President Lou Gao should have guessed it. I am here to invite you. I hope that your Blacksmith Guild can join our Star Dragon Sect together with Gengxin City."

Join the Star Dragon Sect?

When he heard Liu Fan's words, Lou Gao said directly without thinking.

"Your Majesty the Dragon Emperor, I'm sorry! It's impossible for our Blacksmith Guild to join your sect. Your sect is very strong. I'm afraid there are countless soul masters on the mainland who want to join your sect."

"But our blacksmiths have a low status on the Douluo Continent. The Blacksmiths Guild's ability to safely develop to this point depends entirely on us remaining neutral on the continent."

"But if our Blacksmith Guild joins your Star Dragon Sect and loses its neutral status, then our Blacksmith Guild is likely to be involved in various dangers in the future."

"This will cause many blacksmiths to be affected and even put their lives in danger. As the president of the Blacksmiths Guild, I must consider the entire guild!"

But after hearing Lou Gao's answer, Liu Fan smiled faintly and was not surprised.

Liu Fan actually knew that it was basically impossible to get the entire Gengxin City and Blacksmith Guild to join their Star Dragon Sect.

And if Lou Gao agrees to lead Gengxin City and the Blacksmiths Guild to join the Star Dragon Sect, Gengxin City and the Blacksmiths Guild will inevitably lose their current status.

This went against Liu Fan's original intention of conquering Gengxin City and the Blacksmith Guild.

Liu Fan wanted to conquer Gengxin City and the Blacksmiths Guild. His real purpose was to benefit the blacksmiths of the Blacksmiths Guild and the metal channels of Gengxin City.

So as long as these two points can be guaranteed, it doesn't really matter whether Gengxin City and the Blacksmith Guild surrender.

"President Lou Gao, actually I also know that it is very difficult for you, President, to lead Gengxin City and the Blacksmith Guild to join our Star Dragon Sect."

"But President, there is a saying that goes well: The biggest constant in this world is that it is always changing!"

"President, your Blacksmith Guild and Gengxin City can remain neutral now because the situation on the mainland is generally at peace. But what if this situation changes?"

Liu Fan glanced at Lou Gao meaningfully and asked.

This made Lou Gao's heart suddenly sink.

As the president of the Gengxin City Blacksmith Guild, compared to powerful sects such as the Qibao Glazed Sect, the Blacksmith Guild is much weaker and its organizational model is more loose.

Moreover, blacksmiths are the source of weapons and armor, making them more likely to be coveted.

This makes Lou Gao extremely sensitive to the situation on the mainland.

Regarding the current fragile peace on the mainland, Lou Gao is very clear that this peace will never last for too long, and I am afraid it will not last more than thirty years!

If the situation in the mainland changes suddenly, the Star Luo Empire will definitely attack their Gengxin City!

After all, if they control Gengxin City, they will have tens of thousands of blacksmiths and a rich source of metals.

But Gengxin City is within the Star Luo Empire and cannot be moved at all.

If they want to be independent in Gengxin City, they can only be neutral. If they choose the Xingluo royal family, they will be annexed and controlled. If they choose other forces, they will definitely be suppressed by the Xingluo royal family.

There is no choice in building height.

Seeing Lou Gao's face, Liu Fan also knew. Lou Gao was also aware of the current situation in the mainland, and he couldn't help but suddenly smiled and asked.

"President Lou Gao, where do you think the future of blacksmiths lies?"

"The future of blacksmiths will naturally be to invent more exquisite forging techniques, research and create sharper and stronger weapons and armors!"

Lou Gao was a little confused and didn't know why Liu Fan was asking this.

But Liu Fan smiled faintly and said.

"President Lou Gao, if you only study weapons and armor like this, I believe your status as a blacksmith will always be like this."

"The reason is very simple. No matter how strong and sharp the weapons and armors you make are, can they be sharper and stronger than the soul master's martial soul?"

Liu Fan's sharp words made Lou Gao look very ugly and heavy.

But this is a fact that cannot be denied.

As of now, their blacksmiths are indeed unable to create weapons and armor that can compete with the weapons and souls of powerful soul masters.

"So you need to change the direction. President Lou Gao, let me show you something!"

Seeing Lou Gao's expression, Liu Fan suddenly changed his voice, took out a flintlock gun from the storage soul guide, and slapped it on the table.

"This is."

Seeing the flintlock gun, Lou Gao couldn't help but was stunned.

This strange-looking weapon obviously couldn't be a sword.

What is this metal pipe used for? With such a delicate shape, it must be expensive and extremely difficult to manufacture.

But what's the use?

Is it possible that this strange-looking weapon can be comparable to the spirit master's weapon?

It’s impossible!

"President Lou Gao, is there a laboratory for testing weapons?"

Under Liu Fan's inquiry, Lou Gao was filled with doubts and curiosity, and he quickly took Liu Fan to a laboratory.

This is where crossbow weapons are experimented with.

In the laboratory, Liu Fan directly held the flintlock gun, aimed at a target, and fired.

"boom!"

In a burst of explosions, the tip of the flintlock gun flashed with fire, and a bullet shot out instantly, quickly penetrating the target and hitting the metal wall behind.

It actually shot directly into the metal wall, penetrating a thickness of more than five centimeters!
