322, your level of forging soldiers is no more than this
Master Mo narrowed his eyes and stared at Zhou Shu.
No one has ever dared to speak to him like this since he became a weaponsmith.
Want to see your level?
If a big shot said this to me, then there would be no problem.
But a small general with a thousand men, even if he didn't mention his identity as a weapon master, he could just talk about his cultivation level, and he could be easily crushed to death. How could he have the courage to talk to him like this?
"Boy, do you think I dare not kill you?"
The fierce murderous aura enveloped Zhou Shu, and Master Mo said coldly.
"Master Mo, it hurts to kill and kill."
Zhou Shu smiled slightly and said, "I have no other intentions. I really want to see your weapon-making skills, master."
"It's like this. Although I have learned some weapon-casting skills, I have always done it behind closed doors in the past. I don't know what my level is. Master Mo, you also know that weapon-casting masters are rare. It's not easy for me to see you now."
When I come to Master Mo, I sincerely want to broaden my horizons and give myself a position."
Zhou Shu said with sincerity, Master Mo was stunned for a moment.
"Master, don't tell lies in front of the real person. As for me, I was originally just a ten-man general. Because of my merits, I was promoted to a thousand-man general. My merits are related to Yuanshi, and I personally confessed to you.
, I will come to Master Mo for advice."
Zhou Shu said casually.
The fact that he handed it over to Yuanshi is not a secret in the city, Master Mo can definitely find out.
But no one knows what the powerful Tianzun said to him.
It is certainly impossible for Master Mo to confront the powerful Tianzun.
According to normal principles, Zhou Shu handed over to Yuanshi and was proficient in some weapon-making techniques. It was not impossible for the powerful Tianzun to train him.
Master Mo narrowed his eyes and remained silent for a long time.
He was also weighing the gains and losses in his heart. Naturally, a small general with a thousand men would not be taken seriously by him.
But the Heavenly Lord behind these thousand generals is different.
As Zhou Shu thought, Master Mo knew that Zhou Shu handed over Yuan Shi.
Moreover, Master Mo also knows that given the preciousness of Yuanshi, Zhou Shu’s contribution can be said to be unparalleled.
It is entirely possible for the powerful Tian Zun to cultivate him.
"Does he want to train a weapon maker?"
An idea came to Master Mo’s mind.
A weapon-casting master will look aloof wherever he is placed.
If a powerful Tianzun can get the full support of a weapon master, he will definitely be even more powerful.
Master Mo's family knows about his own affairs. He and the lord of this city only have a cooperative relationship. He will help the other party, but it is absolutely impossible to help him with all his strength.
To put it bluntly, he does not belong to the city lord of this city.
But it would be different if the city lord trained a weapon maker himself.
Master Mo pondered in his heart. He and the city lord are still in the stage of cooperation. It would be inappropriate if he really refutes the city lord's face.
In this case, let’s give the city lord some face.
"I always like to support those who are underachieving. Since you are so ambitious, I will reluctantly give you some advice."
Master Mo slowly said, "Look carefully, I will only demonstrate once."
As he spoke, Master Mo waved his hand, and servants immediately brought various weapons-making materials.
Zhou Shu observed the materials for making soldiers. They were not surprising, but he knew them all.
Master Namo selected a few materials from the many weapons-casting materials, and then ordered someone to move another casting furnace.
He threw several soldiers-casting materials into the forging furnace and started to activate the flames for casting.
Zhou Shu was stunned for a while watching the whole process.
It's not that Master Mo's weapon-casting skills are too superb, but that his weapon-casting skills are really poor.
Master Mo was so arrogant before, and with the treatment he enjoyed in the city, Zhou Shu thought how advanced his weapon-making skills would be.
The result, that’s it?
Any formal weapon-casting division in Huaxia Pavilion is better than him, right?
At his level, he is a rookie who has just become an official weapon maker.
Looking at Master Mo's slow and arrogant casting method, Zhou Shu felt unbearable.
"Master Mo, this is how you usually forge weapons?"
Zhou Shu couldn't help but ask.
"Silence!"
Master Mo didn't even raise his eyes, but the young man who brought Zhou Shu in glared at Zhou Shu and said, "When Master is forging weapons, no one can disturb him casually!"
Looking at the young man's appearance, he wanted to block Zhou Shu's mouth.
Zhou Shu rolled his eyes, he is really a noob with too many rules.
At this level, are you still afraid of being disturbed?
But having said that, at his level, the success rate of casting soldiers may indeed be low. If someone disturbs him, he may really fail.
Sitting aside bored, Zhou Shu couldn't help but yawn.
In the end, he was really bored, so luckily he picked up a few weapons-making materials from the side, and asked the young man for a casting furnace, and he began to imitate Master Namo and started casting.
In fact, with Zhou Shu's current strength, his iron-making hands have already broken through the original limitations. Even with his bare hands, he can still forge magic weapons.
But now, he didn't want to expose his strength, so he chose the stupidest method to cast the magic weapon.
After watching Master Na Mo's process of forging magical weapons, Zhou Shu already understood that the art of weapon casting in this world was not fundamentally different from the art of weapon casting he had mastered.
There may be subtle differences in techniques between different weapon masters, but those are each family's secret methods and will not expose Zhou Shu's identity.
Although he restrained his strength as much as possible, when Zhou Shu finished forging a long sword and looked up at Master Mo, Master Mo was still activating the flames, and he didn't notice Zhou Shu's movements at all.
Even though Master Mo is not very good at it, his attitude is quite serious. He is completely immersed in his own actions and has no idea what is happening outside.
But the young man who came in with Zhou Shu was dumbfounded.
He watched Zhou Shu forge a long sword with his own eyes. Although he didn't know the power of the long sword, how much effort did it take?
Is he already a weapon maker?
The young man found it a bit unbelievable. He had been with Master Mo for many years, but now he had not yet mastered the art of weapon casting. How could this young officer be a weapon craftsman?
If he is a weapon maker, why should he be this little officer?
Let alone a thousand generals, even if there are ten thousand generals, they are not as noble as the status of a weapon maker.
Zhou Shu casually put the long sword aside and glanced at Master Mo. Seeing Master Mo's condition, he was afraid it would take some time to complete the casting.
"When Master is finished, remember to call me."
Zhou Shu stretched out his body and used the sky as his roof and the earth as his hut. After a while, he started snoring.
I don’t know how long it took, but Zhou Shu was woken up by someone.
When I opened my eyes, the first thing I saw was Master Mo with an angry face.
"Boy, for the sake of the city master cultivating you, I will not hesitate to lower my status and personally demonstrate the art of forging weapons for you. If you behave like this, I will definitely report it to the city lord and let the city lord punish you heavily!"
Master Mo roared angrily.
"From now on, you will never learn any art of forging weapons from me!"
Master Mo's face turned red and he shouted.
Zhou Shu tilted his head back to avoid Master Mo's spit.
"What about your art of forging weapons? It's okay if you don't learn it."
Zhou Shu smiled calmly and said, "Master Mo, I wonder where your weapon-making skills rank in this world?"
"Boy, what do you mean?"
Master Mo said angrily, waving the newly forged long sword in his hand, "Get out, get out of here immediately, otherwise, I will use your blood to sharpen the long sword I forged!" "Why is Master Mo so angry? Who made you angry? I, the city lord, will vent your anger on your behalf."
At this moment, a voice suddenly came, and a figure stepped in.
The person who came was surprisingly the powerful Tianzun from before, who was also the city lord of this city.
Zhou Shu now knows that this person's name is Ge Changlong. He is considered a well-established person in this world, and the power behind him is extremely strong.
"I have met the Lord of the City."
Facing Ge Changlong, Master Mo did not dare to be rude, he raised his hand and said.
"This little Thousand-Man General, I saw that the Lord of the City wanted to cultivate him, so I specially called him here to demonstrate the art of forging weapons for him. As a result, this kid couldn't hold up the wall with mud. Who was the bigger one when I was forging soldiers?
Sleep!"
"Your Majesty, City Lord, with all due respect, even if this person has had an adventure and learned some superficial knowledge of the art of forging weapons, he is still unworthy of training. Please, Lord City Lord, please don't be fooled by him!"
Master Mo said angrily.
"Oh?"
Ge Changlong looked at Zhou Shu and seemed to have just remembered who Zhou Shu was.
"So it's you. Have you ever learned the art of forging weapons? Master Mo gave you a chance. It's your fault."
He opened his mouth and said, "I'd like to apologize to Master Mo. If you really have the talent of a weapon maker, I will definitely give you a chance."
"City Lord, I was not wrong, why should I apologize?"
Zhou Shu cupped his hands and said.
"Huh?"
The city lord's face darkened.
He has been in a high position for a long time, and no one has ever dared to refute him. What he just said has already given this kid a way to step down, and he is so ignorant of promotion.
"If you can't give me a reason, I won't protect you."
The city lord's voice became a little cold.
"City Lord, I met strange people when I was young, so I learned a few skills of weapon casting, but before that, I never knew the level of my weapon casting skills. In my opinion, the weapon casting master is superior
, has nothing to do with me."
Zhou Shu said loudly, "But after watching Master Mo cast weapons, I realized that I was wrong."
Ge Changlong was expressionless and noncommittal.
Zhou Shu continued, "To be honest with you, City Lord, I feel that Master Mo's weapon-casting skills are not as good as mine."
As soon as these words came out, Ge Changlong had not yet responded, but Master Mo was already furious.
"Yellow-mouthed kid!"
Master Mo said angrily, "It is unbearable to despise me so much! If I don't kill you, how can I have the face to stand here!"
"Lord City Lord, even if you blame me this time, I will definitely kill this kid. No one has ever dared to look down on me like this!"
Ge Changlong's eyes narrowed slightly.
This Master Mo was invited with great difficulty.
His city is located in a remote place, and idlers are not willing to come. In order to invite Master Mo to come, he paid a lot of price.
It is self-evident which one is more important: a weapon master whom he hired with a lot of money, and a small general with a thousand men.
"Master Mo, I will definitely give you an explanation."
Ge Changlong said coldly, "Wu Zongquan, you'd better not talk nonsense, otherwise I won't be able to protect you!"
"I'm not talking nonsense."
Zhou Shu said calmly, Wu Zongquan is the name of the soldier he transformed.
"What's true can't be fake, and what's fake can't be true. Let's compare who is stronger in the art of forging weapons between me and Master Mo."
"City Lord, while I was waiting for Master Mo to forge weapons, I also forged a weapon. As long as the long sword made by one of us is stronger, it means whose weapon-making skills are stronger!" Zhou Shu turned around and picked up the long sword he forged from the ground.
This long sword was thrown aside casually by him. Neither Master Mo nor Ge Changlong paid attention to it before.
The only young man who knew the truth was now so scared that he turned into a quail and couldn't say a word.
He brought Zhou Shu in. He didn't expect that Zhou Shu would actually confront Master Mo. If Master Mo knew about this, it would be strange if he didn't kill him.
Now he wishes no one would notice him, so how can he take the initiative to speak?
"Did you forge this sword?"
Ge Changlong said surprisingly.
"Just take a sword and say it was made by you. Do you think we are all fools?"
Master Mo sneered.
"He saw it with his own eyes. If you don't believe it, you can ask him, Master Mo. He is yours, so you can't believe him, right?"
Zhou Shu pointed at the young man and said.
"Xue Liang, tell me honestly what you saw!"
Master Mo said with a threatening tone.
"Xue Liang, right? Just tell me. Don't hide anything or lie. I have my own way to verify the truth of what you say."
City Lord Ge Changlong also spoke.
Xue Liang trembled all over and complained secretly in his heart. If he had known that accepting Zhou Shu's money would cause such a big trouble, then he would not have brought Zhou Shu in to see Master Mo just for a small amount of money.
But it was too late to regret now. He just prayed that Master Mo would spare his life afterward.
"Master, Lord City Lord."
Xue Liang said with a trembling voice, "This sword was indeed forged by General Wu here. The casting furnace and weapons-making materials he used are all ours..."
"You——"
Master Mo was so angry that he was so angry.
Ge Changlong's eyes lit up.
This Wu Zongquan is a soldier under his command. If he is really a weapon maker, he is still his subordinate, which is a good thing.
"Very good."
Ge Changlong said, he stretched out his hand to grab it, and the long sword in Zhou Shu's hand had fallen into his hand.
Zhou Shu did not resist and allowed Ge Changlong to take the sword.
"Ding——"
Ge Changlong held the long sword in front of him and flicked it with his fingers. The sword trembled and made a clear sound.
"It is indeed an innate magic weapon."
Ge Changlong nodded and said.
"You can forge innate magic weapons, Wu Zongquan, you are really a master of weapons. I never thought that there are talents like you under this city lord."
Ge Changlong said with some relief.
"Thanks to the city lord for cultivating me."
Zhou Shu didn't even dare, so he said, "If it weren't for the cultivation of the city lord, I wouldn't have been able to meet Master Mo, let alone know that I was actually a weapon maker."
"Haha——"
Ge Changlong smiled and said, "Being strong but not knowing that you are strong is something I thought was a fantasy before. I never expected to see it with my own eyes today. Wu Zongquan, you are a talent. I will definitely not treat you badly."
"Lord City Lord, even if he can really cast innate magic weapons, it doesn't mean that his weapon-casting skills are better than mine."
Master Mo's face turned red and he almost couldn't breathe. He said angrily.
So what if you can cast innate magic weapons?
I have been immersed in the art of forging weapons for hundreds of years, how can I compare with your achievements?
If you dare to insult me, even if you are a weapon maker, I will never let you go!
Besides, there can only be one Weaponsmith in this city!
Master Mo stared at Zhou Shu with murderous eyes, wishing he could kill Zhou Shu immediately.
A flash of displeasure flashed in Ge Changlong's eyes, this Master Mo is so ignorant!
The city lord didn't even mention the competition, he just gave him a chance to step down, and he didn't even know how to seize the opportunity.
Even if you beat Wu Zongquan, so what?
How old is Wu Zongquan? How old are you?
Wu Zongquan broke through and became a weapon maker without the resources to support himself. Is this talent comparable to that of an old guy like you?
Besides, he is the lord of this city. What do you mean by wanting to win against him?
Are you trying to slap this city lord in the face?
"Since you insist on competing, Master Mo, then I, the City Lord, will do as you wish."
Ge Changlong's face was a little gloomy and he said.
"Wait."
Zhou Shu suddenly spoke.
"Zongquan, do you have any other ideas?"
Ge Changlong looked at Zhou Shu with a smile on his face. He even changed his name and said to Zhou Shu kindly.
"City Lord, since it is a competition, there are always some bets."
Zhou Shu said loudly, "Master Mo, how about we take a gamble? If I lose, I will kneel down to apologize to you, and from now on, I will never make soldiers again."
Master Mo narrowed his eyes slightly, this bet is not small.
If he does not forge soldiers from now on, he will not be able to threaten his position in the city.
Out of the corner of his eye, he noticed that Ge Changlong was about to speak, and Master Mo said quickly, "Okay, I'll make a bet with you! If I lose, I'm willing to leave here and leave this place to you."
Ge Changlong wanted to stop it, but it was too late.
He frowned slightly. Master Mo was not his subordinate, and it was not appropriate for him to treat Master Mo. Although Wu Zongquan was his, Wu Zongquan needed to win over him now, so he could not be too harsh on him.
Ge Changlong rubbed his brow with a headache. These two people could really cause trouble for him.
However, if you compete with two long swords and do it yourself, then you don’t just let whichever sword breaks, you just want it to break?
"Master Mo, give me your sword, and I will compare which of these two swords is stronger."
Ge Changlong said.
"Lord City Lord, with your strength, even with a branch, you can cut off the magic weapon. It's impossible to tell whose sword is stronger."
Master Mo gritted his teeth and said, "Rather than using a sword, it would be more suitable for an outsider to do it!"
