"Brother Li, won't that boy named Zhou not come?"
In Workshop No. 78, a middle-aged man with a bulging belly said with a frown.
"What time has it been? A guy who doesn't even have hair is so unreliable in his work!"
"You said that Da Sikong didn't think he had a pretty face, so that's why..."
"Brother Han, be careful what you say!"
Li Hongyuan said sternly.
No matter how dissatisfied I am, I cannot talk about Her Highness the Princess’s affairs behind her back!
The fat man named Han laughed twice and did not dare to say anything more.
"I think he is probably scared."
Another workshop owner changed the topic and said, "It is simply wishful thinking to challenge many of our workshops on one's own!"
"That's right, why should such a young boy keep pace with us?"
All workshop owners are filled with indignation.
Which of them has climbed to where they are today without going through a lot of hardships?
A boy with no hair on his head rose to the top and became the same boss as them. This kind of thing is annoying to think about.
"I don't believe that guy independently developed the Huben Sword and the Bailian Huanshou Sword. In my opinion, he couldn't tell where he picked up the two secret weapons-making recipes and took them for himself, and he couldn't tell if he stole them!
”
"Do you think it was given to him by someone?"
A workshop owner said weakly.
"Who would be so generous? The person who can easily come up with such a secret recipe for making weapons, the worst one has to be a weapon maker!"
"What if there is a weapon maker behind him?"
The owner of the workshop said.
The whole place suddenly fell silent, and everyone looked at each other.
Even though they are workshop owners, they are still slightly inferior compared to the weapons casters.
The people who usually come and go with the Weapon Master are all top-grade warriors. If a top-grade warrior wants to seek an official position, the worst he can do is reach the seventh grade!
Weaponsmiths also have grades.
According to the rules of Daxia, once you become a weapon master, you can obtain the rank of seventh grade just like becoming a first-grade warrior!
Although you may not have real power, your grade is your grade.
If there really is a weapons master behind Zhou Shu, Li Hongyuan and others really have to think about whether they can afford to offend him!
As for Zhou Shu being appointed by Da Sikong and Princess Wuyou, that is not a problem. After all, it is impossible for Her Royal Highness to pay attention to such a small person all the time.
"You are overthinking."
Xiao Zongshui spoke slowly, "Three generations of Zhou Shu's ancestors have been apprentices of the Weapons Forging Division, and his family background is clear. If he was valued by the Weapons Forging Division, there was no need to stay in Workshop No. 97 before.
”
"If the Weapon Master wants to accept him as his apprentice, he can be brought to the former No. 36 workshop to train him properly."
Xiao Zongshui's words made everyone feel relieved a little.
That's right, if there really was a weapon maker behind him, there would be no need to stay in the workshop as an apprentice weapon maker before.
They all know very well how difficult the conditions for a soldier-making apprentice are.
Besides, if there really is a weapon maker behind him, wouldn't it be enough to just ask the weapon maker to come forward and ask for someone?
Why bother gambling with yourself and others?
"Brother Xiao, Brother Li, didn't that guy ask for someone with weight to be the judge?" A supervisor said, "Who did you invite? He won't even come, right?"
"No."
Xiao Zongshui said calmly, "Since Master Zhu has agreed, he will definitely come."
"Master Zhu?"
Everyone exclaimed.
Master Zhu is one of the few great craftsmen in Daxia, and his status is extremely respected. I didn’t expect that Master Xiao could invite him here.
Xiao Zongshui smiled slightly and said, "It took me a lot of effort to get Master Zhu to agree."
"With Master Zhu in charge, that kid is convinced that he will lose now!"
Li Hongyuan and others laughed loudly.
Xiao Zongshui also had a proud look on his face. It was just a wishful thinking for a mere apprentice of a soldier to step on his head!
"Master Zhu Chuanfeng is here!"
While talking, a shout came from outside.
Xiao Zongshui, Li Hongyuan and others all stood up and walked towards the outside.
Zhu Chuanfeng, who looked to be in his forties, walked in with two steps, followed by two boys.
"Master Zhu!"
Xiao Zongshui and others greeted each other one after another.
"Everyone on our side has already arrived. Chief Zhou Shu hasn't come yet, so I don't know if he doesn't take us seriously."
Xiao Zongshui said, without forgetting to give Zhou Shu some eye drops.
Sure enough, Zhu Chuanfeng's eyes flashed with displeasure.
"I don't know much about my abilities, but this air of strength is quite impressive."
Zhu Chuanfeng said coldly.
"At such a young age, he is already the master of the workshop, and he is also a genius for making weapons recognized by Da Sikong. It is normal for him to be a little arrogant."
Xiao Zongshui sighed and said.
"Genius?"
Zhu Chuanfeng snorted coldly, "Nowadays, anyone can really be called a genius, but if you improve a Tiger Ben knife, you are a genius?"
"Her Royal Highness, the princess, was young and ignorant, so she was deceived by him! I came here this time to expose his true face!"
Xiao Zongshui was overjoyed, but said with a bit of embarrassment on his face, "Master Zhu, what's wrong? After all, Master Zhou is the person Da Sikong likes."
"Then let Her Royal Highness see, she is mistaken."
Zhu Chuanfeng said nonchalantly.
As one of the few great craftsmen in Daxia, he has enough confidence to face the princess of Daxia!
"Are you talking about me?"
A voice suddenly sounded, and Zhou Shu's figure appeared at the door.
Zhou Shu deliberately changed his clothes today. His white clothes were fluttering and he looked very handsome.
His appearance in this life is actually quite outstanding, with starry eyebrows and sharp eyes, which is quite ordinary.
I used to wear the work clothes of a soldier-forging apprentice all day long, and I looked shabby, but now I dress up a little, and my temperament suddenly comes out.
Xiao Zongshui, Li Hongyuan and others all snorted in displeasure. Who can show such a disguise? Who hasn't been young before?
Zhu Chuanfeng glanced at Zhou Shu, his expression extremely cold, and said coldly, "Now that everyone is here, let's get started."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
"Wait!"
Zhou Shu said, "I also invited a referee, let's wait and start again."
I thought to myself, what the hell is this guy Sun Pingping doing? Why hasn't Yin Wuyou come yet?
"Mr. Zhou, we agreed on the time yesterday. Master Zhu has already arrived. How long do you want to delay it?"
Li Hongyuan snorted coldly, "Do you know how precious Master Zhu's time is? His every quarter of an hour cannot be wasted! Wait, who do you think you are?"
"I'm just a small workshop owner."
Zhou Shu glanced at him, looked at Zhu Chuanfeng, cupped his hands and said, "I haven't asked yet who is this Master Zhu?"
A coldness flashed in Zhu Chuanfeng's eyes, and he let out a cold snort in his nose.
"My master is the great craftsman Zhu Chuanfeng!"
The boy behind Zhu Chuanfeng took a step forward and shouted proudly.
For those who don’t know, they think he is a great craftsman.
"Zhu Chuanfeng? I've never heard of him, and I don't know him."
Zhou Shu said.
Master Zhu, who raised his eyebrows and raised his eyes as soon as he walked in, is most likely from Xiao Zongshui's group.
If that's the case, then why should he give him face?
What happened to the master?
I’m not begging you, so why should I bow my head?
Zhu Chuanfeng narrowed his eyes, his eyes were extremely cold, "Very good, I haven't seen such a good-tempered young man in a long time."
"Presumptuous! Zhou Shu, if you are waiting for Da Sikong, then I tell you, you don't have to wait any longer, Da Sikong is not in the capital today!"
Li Hongyuan said coldly.
Zhou Shu's heart sank.
Yin Wuyou is not in the capital?
Damn it, why didn’t Sun Ping Ping inform me in advance?
If Yin Wuyou doesn't come, the referee, Master Zhu, is from Xiao Zongshui's group, what should we do?
Zhou Shu is not afraid of a public competition. The problem is that this is his home court. Who knows how Master Zhu will judge?
"Master Zhou, Master Zhu is a great craftsman. Do you think he is not powerful enough?"
"Or do you think that the master craftsman's gaze cannot judge the competition between the weapon-forging apprentices?"
Xiao Zong said with a smile on his face.
This is a trap. If Zhou Shu denies it, he will offend Master Zhu to death.
The master craftsman is almost at the top of the military pyramid.
If there is no master craftsman, who can compete with him?
The number of master craftsmen in the entire continent can be counted on one hand, and idlers will never see their faces.
In a competition between weapon-forging apprentices, asking a master craftsman to be the judge is already beyond the standards.
"Humph, just start."
The lightning flashed in Zhou Shu's mind, and he couldn't think of a good solution for the time being, so let's take it one step at a time. Master Zhu must save his face and not tell lies with his eyes open.
"Are you coming one by one or together?"
Zhou Shu saw a dozen people dressed as soldiers' apprentices standing behind Xiao Zongshui and others, Naxi people, who should have been selected to compete with him.
"How long will it take to compete one by one?"
Zhu Chuanfeng said, "I don't have that much time to spend with you, Master."
"Let's compare together."
"Then let's compare together."
Xiao Zongshui said with a smile.
"I have no objection."
Zhou Shu said calmly.
"Tell me, how do you want to compare? Whether it is casting old weapons, improving weapons, or developing new weapons, I will accompany you to the end."
Everyone’s brows furrowed together, developing a new weapon?
Is he bluffing, or is he confident?
Even Zhu Chuanfeng's face flashed with surprise, but he soon regained his composure.
He is a master craftsman of weapons. For him, it is easy to improve a standard weapon, and even create a new standard weapon is not too difficult.
However, even if you are a master craftsman, if you want to develop a standard weapon that is good in all aspects, you have to spend some effort.
After all, the current standard weapons are basically relatively complete. There are very few master craftsmen, and even weapons casters don't spend too much thought on standard weapons.
If they had that time, they would have already studied high-end weapons.
Is it possible that this Zhou Shu is really a genius? He has just developed the Huben Sword and the Bailian Huanshou Sword. Is it possible that he can develop another new weapon?
Zhu Chuanfeng was a little curious and said, "Since you are so confident, I will give you this opportunity."
"This competition is to see who can forge a new standard weapon! If both can be forged, then the decision will be based on the power of the weapon!"
