Five months later.
The Metal Capital, five kilometers outside Gengxin City.
"Master, Gengxin City is ahead, shall we enter the city now?" Datou slowly stopped the carriage, and then asked Li Xuan respectfully.
"Of course we are entering the city. It is still the old rule. This time it is the turn of the second head to go to the city to book a room, the third head to inquire about information, and Daya and Erya to search for delicious food. Let's go now." Li Xuan opened his mouth He closed his eyes, opened the curtain, and said something to several slaves.
“Yes, Master!”
After hearing Li Xuan's order, several slaves who had been assigned work quickly returned to the carriage, and then the two carriages behind suddenly accelerated and rushed towards Gengxin City.
But Datou drove the carriage calmly, taking Li Xuan toward Gengxin City while enjoying the scenery along the way.
The most eye-catching thing is the growing city of Gengxin in Li Xuan's eyes.
In Li Xuan's eyes, Gengxin City is like a steel giant made of pure metal, lying on the ground, motionless and domineering.
“Sniff, sniff…”
Li Xuan smelled it, and the surrounding air was filled with the smell of metal and dust.
The sound of weapons being forged in Gengxin City can be heard far away.
It is indeed the capital of metals.
......
Half an hour later, Li Xuan and Datou were walking around the streets of Gengxin City one after another.
Gengxin City is the capital of metals. Eighty percent of the shops in the city are blacksmith shops, and the remaining two floors of shops sell daily necessities, ore and fuel.
As Li Xuan walked, he looked at the surrounding blacksmith shops. Li Xuan was surprised to find that basically every blacksmith shop in Gengxin City had its own unique craftsmanship.
Although the craftsmanship is all kinds of strange, the blacksmiths who can take root in Gengxin City must have exquisite craftsmanship and excellent skills.
There are mostly street stalls on both sides of the street, and all kinds of rare minerals are displayed on these stalls.
But it was a pity that Li Xuan didn't understand ore at all, so Li Xuan didn't buy anything. After walking around Gengxin City, he went directly back to the hotel booked by Erdu.
Just after returning to the hotel, Santou, Daya and Erya all returned to the hotel and stood respectfully in front of Li Xuan.
"Master!" Several people saw Li Xuan coming back and quickly saluted Li Xuan.
"Get up, everyone. After five months of long journey, we finally arrived at Gengxin City. You have worked hard during this time." Li Xuan said to the five slaves in front of him.
"No hard work, no hard work..." Several slaves waved their hands quickly. Although Li Xuan was approachable, most of the slaves knew his identity, so they always abided by their duties and did not exceed the rules.
"Although I also want you to rest, there is one more thing I need you to do for me. Thank you for your hard work. Have a good rest tomorrow. Later you can go out and help me find out information about the Blacksmith Guild and Lou Gao. Now My status is not suitable for appearing in public places," Li Xuan said seriously to several slaves.
"Yes, Master." The five slaves bowed respectfully to Li Xuan, their voices full of determination.
"Okay, let's go, go early and come back early." Li Xuan waved to several slaves and said.
"Yes, Master." The five slaves responded, then turned and left the hotel.
After Li Xuan watched several people leave, he thought about it and returned to the space of Zhang Tian Bottle.
Opening the Kongming Pearl, four sets of white, yellow, green and black armors and eight weapons appeared in front of Li Xuan.
Although the blacksmith's status in Douluo Continent is not high, it would not hurt if he became a master craftsman and became a guest of all major forces.
Not to mention that the president of the Blacksmiths Guild is taller than he is. So it was not easy for Li Xuan to meet Lou Gao.
After some selection, Li Xuan took out the silver-white long knife from the ground and wiped the dust on the knife.
This knife is the sword of the man in silver armor. It was also Li Xuan's luck that he took off all the weapons of the man in silver armor when he just woke up and was stuck.
Then, Li Xuan took out another brocade box and put the long knife into the box.
This knife is a bait, catching the big fish Lou Gao.
As a blacksmith, you will definitely be attracted when you see a long knife with such complicated forging process, not to mention that there is also a layer of runes carved on the surface of the long knife that can increase combat effectiveness.
Li Xuan believed that with just this knife, he could see Lou Gao and even convince Lou Gao.
As for the blueprint of the Sky-shattering Cannon, Li Xuan didn’t want Lou Gao to see it in the short term. It wasn’t that Li Xuan was stingy. Fishing focused on one word, pull.
If a set of blueprints of the Sky-shattering Cannon were presented when they first met, Lou Gao would easily despise the Sky-shattering Cannon, so little by little, he used bait to lure Lou Gao to the Spring and Autumn Winery.
Then, Li Xuan put the remaining armor and weapons back into Kong Mingjing. After all, these armors and weapons were not of much help to Li Xuan before meeting Lou Gao.
After choosing the gift, Li Xuan took off his clothes and jumped directly into the hot spring, preparing to wash away today's fatigue.
After soaking in the hot spring for a while, Li Xuan dried his body, put on a pair of pajamas, and left the space of Zhang Tian Bottle.
After returning to the hotel, Li Xuan suddenly felt tired and fell asleep after lying on the bed for a while.
...
The next morning, Li Xuan got up early, and five slaves had come to Li Xuan with food.
"Master, a few of us have found out the basic situation of Gengxin City yesterday. This is the map of Gengxin City." Datou took out two maps from his arms and handed them to Li Xuan.
Li Xuan looked at the big head with satisfaction. This guy was the oldest in the group, only 24 years old.
"Master, Master Lou Gao has recently obtained an extremely precious piece of iron ore. He is offering a reward of ten gold soul coins to exchange for a method of melting the ore. Master, your flame is indestructible. We can sign up to give it a try. , I can also see Master Lou Gao." Er Tou raised his head and said respectfully to Li Xuan.
"Master, Guokui is the only specialty in Gengxin City. Everything else is unpalatable. I didn't find any food that tastes particularly good." Daya lowered her head and said timidly, her eyes filled with guilt.
"It's okay. It's normal for a bunch of rough old blacksmiths to have no food in the city." Li Xuan looked at the somewhat guilty Da Ya and comforted him softly.
"Master, the same applies to the fabrics in Gengxin City. Most of them are linen clothes. Although they have no other characteristics other than absorbing sweat and being stain-resistant." Erya shook his head and continued.
Other information is not particularly valuable.
"Big head, second head, tomorrow you two, go and help me see what the ore that Lou Gao Shenjie needs to melt looks like. The others can have a good rest in the hotel tomorrow. It's so late. It’s been a long journey, you should relax, it’s been too hard,” Li Xuan said to Big Tou and Er Tou.
"Thank you for your concern, Master!" Several slaves bowed respectfully to Li Xuan at the same time and said in a submissive tone.
In fact, it is still very difficult for Li Xuan to meet Lou Gao. After all, Li Xuan is still just a human cub, and it is basically impossible to get close to a being of Lou Gao's level.
So Li Xuan can only use this method to meet Lou Gao. After all, if he wants to forge the Sky-shattering Cannon, he still needs the master craftsman Lou Gao to personally take action. Li Xuan’s flame temperature is extremely high, and there are With various additional attributes, there shouldn't be much of a problem if you want to melt the ore.
After the slaves arranged their work, they all returned to their rooms. During this time, they were indeed a little tired.
After all, after traveling for more than 10,000 kilometers, even an iron man cannot bear such consumption.
Datou and Ertou left the hotel to find out information.
Li Xuan looked at the slaves leaving, and with a thought in his mind, he entered the space of the Sky Palm Vase and began to practice. (End of this chapter)
