Chapter 217 Fireworks in the Starry Sky
"Mr. Silong, the Earl started practicing in seclusion ten days ago. We don't know when he will come out..."
City Lord's Mansion, front hall, E With a polite smile on his face, Degas explained sincerely to Silong who came to deliver the invitation.
Two days ago, Tiefutu and a group of eight people, who went out to hunt for the eighth soul ring, returned to "Gengxin City".
Less than half an hour later, an explosive news spread throughout "Gengxin City". Everyone from the clan heads and elders of the soul master families to the commoners such as traffickers and footmen know that Tiefutu, the former president of the [Blacksmith Association] and one of the only two master craftsmen in Douluo Continent, has become an Eight-ring Soul Douluo!
And after two days of repair and fermentation, early this morning, invitation letters were sent to various places in "Gengxin City" by the three president disciples of the [Blacksmith Association], Silong, Siyu, and Sikai. In the hands of powerful people.
Things went smoothly for Siyu and Sikai. Although they are just juniors, with their master Tiefutu being promoted to Contra, the status of their disciples has naturally increased, and no one will neglect them. .
But here at Silong, in order to show the importance and respect for the Lord of the City, he not only chose the City Lord's Mansion as the first stop, but also specially arranged for Silong, the eldest disciple of the President Lou Gao, to come and deliver the invitation letter. .
Who knew that we would hit a soft spot and be rejected?
If you don’t retreat in the morning or in the evening, why should you retreat at this time?
Besides, since I went into seclusion ten days ago, I can’t come out now?
Fortunately, before setting off, Master Ling Yi had warned him to be careful in his words and deeds when going out, and not to reveal his will and attitude at will. Silong suppressed the dissatisfaction and complaints in his heart and learned from his example. Degas looked polite and polite and said:
"That's really a pity. In this way, I will leave the invitation letter and wait for the city lord to leave the country. I will also ask Director Edgar to tell you something. ..."
"Hey, okay, okay -" Edgar nodded hurriedly, the politeness in his words subconsciously made him more sincere. Fortunately, years of training allowed him to change his facial expressions in time. , with a bright smile on his face: "Old man Tiefutu has become the first and only Contra in our "Gengxin City". I believe that after the earl comes out of seclusion, he will definitely go to the [Blacksmith Association] as soon as possible. Meet me——"
At this moment, even Silong, who was standing face to face, thought that Edgar's change was an expression of respect to Iron Buddha, who had become Contra.
Watching Silong's leaving figure, Edgar frowned, looked around at the maids and guards on the left and right, and without saying anything, turned and headed towards the backyard.
The backyard of the city lord's mansion, a corner of the garden.
Edgar raised his hand and unscrewed a protruding irregular stone on the rockery. He looked at the originally flawless stone wall beside him and slowly opened a portal.
Without hesitation, Edgar stepped in, followed the downward slope, and after walking for tens of meters, he stood in front of a thick dark stone door and respectfully greeted Silong just now. Tell me about sending the invitation letter.
“……”
There was silence for a while behind the stone door. After a while, a hoarse voice sounded intermittently: "I know about this. Ron...is he back?"
Although the person was not in front of him, E Degas still maintained a respectful stance meticulously: "Your Excellency, the Second Young Master goes to the [Wutong Advanced Soul Master Academy] in the 'Red Maple City', and the letter sent before has probably just arrived in the Second Young Master's hands..." "
"Then..." the hoarse voice belonging to Arthur Candier sounded again: "Let Harry go instead of me..."
Before he finished speaking, Arthur... Qandil stopped, paused, and then continued: "Forget it, Harry is only nine years old. If he says something wrong then, it will still be the shame of my Qandil family..."
"Oh - forget it -" Arthur Candil said with obvious hesitation and hesitation in his voice: "Let Kuku go, Edgar, you will follow when the time comes, don't let That idiot is talking nonsense, but he can’t lose the majesty of our Qandil family, understand?”
"Understood!" Edgar straightened his back and responded solemnly.
“Go ahead——”
“Yes!”
Stepping out of the dim corridor, Edgar subconsciously squinted his eyes due to the bright light. , the door behind him that had just been opened more than half-way slowly closed again.
Turning his head, he glanced at Kuku Kandil who was leaning on the edge of the rockery. Edgar did not speak and continued to walk forward.
"You heard it," Edgar said in a low voice as he walked away: "Now the second young master will not be able to come back in a short time, and the third young master, the fourth young lady, and the fifth young master are too young. The current city lord's mansion needs a big man. Master, please stand up—" "When will Ron come back?"
Kuku Kandil, who followed up at some point, also asked in a low voice, to the point.
“The second young master’s talent is the best in the Qandil family. His innate soul power reaches level seven. Although he is only twenty-two years old, he has also cultivated to level forty...”
Edgar answered the question incorrectly.
After nearly half a year of Ling Yi's instruction, Kuku Qandil not only became a senior blacksmith, able to forge hundred-forged level weapons, but also received some subtle influences on his thinking and logic.
“Which Soul Beast Forest is it?”
“Fog Coffin Canyon.”
“The one near the ‘Missing Grand Canyon’?”
"Yeah."
"How long have you been there?"
"Ten days."
"What a coincidence."
"What a coincidence."
"... ”
"..."
A period of silence lasted until they reached the exit of the garden. One of them walked forward, the other turned right, and they were no longer on the same road.
When they were about ten meters away from each other, a slight voice sounded in Kuku Kandil's ears again: "I thought that the Earl would not come back ten days ago."< br>
On the corridor outside the garden, there is silence, only the vague and absent footsteps have a clear rhythm and are meticulous.
[Blacksmiths Association General Assembly], fifth floor, casting room No. 1.
Ling Yi raised his hand and touched the rebuilt wall, and without looking back he asked the man behind him, "Senior brother, do you want me to go back and inscribe a calligraphy, or paint a picture and hang it here?" Otherwise, it would look a bit awkward here——"
Isn't it? The entire No. 1 Casting Room is smoked by year-round fires, plus fine carbon ash and metal dust. The walls in all directions, and The ceiling and floor are all dark in color.
But at this time, on the wall in front of Ling Yi, there was a one-meter-square wall. Although it was all brown and black in color from the "Turtle Back Rock" material, the color was darker than the one on the side. A lot lighter.
"That's fine." Lou Gao nodded, and nodded directly for his master, saying: "Your carving skills are so good, I guess your writing and painting are equally good..."
"There's just one thing..." Lou Gao stopped as he spoke, hesitated for a few seconds, and then asked: "You were in the thirty-six casting rooms on the fifth floor, and each of them placed a piece of "Starry Sky Fireworks" "On the wall... this number... was touched by who?" ”
