324, is this level worthy of being called a master?
Zhou Shu asked several questions in succession. Mu Zhixing rolled his eyes and his face turned dark.
How could he know so clearly?
In order to avoid arousing others' suspicion, he always made circumstantial inquiries.
Besides, his eldest brother, the Emperor of Ancient Heaven, came here tens of thousands of years ago, and ordinary soldiers have never come into contact with him.
Those who were here back then are now in high positions and are not easily accessible to Mu Zhixing.
"I only know how my eldest brother escaped from slavery."
Mu Zhixing said with some helplessness that he was no match for Zhou Shu, a pervert. After finding out this news, he had already tried his best.
"If I hadn't told Mr. Wu, you would never have imagined that the reason why my eldest brother was able to get rid of his status as a slave was because he discovered the Yuanshi Mine!"
"You mean——"
Zhou Shu raised his eyebrows slightly.
"That's right!"
Mu Zhixing nodded heavily and said solemnly, "The Yuanshi mine we dug before was discovered by my elder brother!"
"It was because of the discovery of that mine that my eldest brother was able to get rid of his Yuanshi identity, join the army, and then leave here step by step."
"As for where he went after leaving here, I haven't found out yet."
Mu Zhixing said.
"I'll look for a chance to ask the city lord later."
Zhou Shu pondered and said that it was a coincidence that the Yuanshi Mine was discovered by the Ancient Heavenly Emperor.
But the Ancient Heavenly Emperor was also a strange person. As a slave, he was able to discover the Yuanshi Mine!
Zhou Shu now roughly knows the value of Yuanshi. Just by retrieving Yuanshi, who is the size of an ant, he has been promoted from a ten-man general to a thousand-man general, and he has been promoted to more than three levels in a row?
In comparison, the credit for discovering an entire Yuanshi mine is simply endless.
One can imagine how big the reward the Ancient Heavenly Emperor received back then would be.
Having said that, he was able to discover the Yuanshi Mine because of his ability. Otherwise, why didn't someone else discover it?
"Our current starting point is not worse than your eldest brother's back then. If he can achieve Tianzun's cultivation, we may not be able to do it either. Everyone, seize the opportunity and work hard!"
Zhou Shu said.
Everyone nodded heavily with approval on their faces.
They are not ordinary people. Now Zhou Shu has created such conditions for them. If they still can't seize the opportunity, then they are incompetent!
After explaining a few words to everyone, Xue Liang had already raised his voice outside the door to report.
Zhou Shu asked everyone to take control of the guards in the house, and then called Xue Liang in.
"Sir, all the people and materials in the house have been counted. When Master Mo left, he did not take anything with him. He left everything behind."
Xue Liang bowed and said, when Master Mo was here, he acted as a butler and knew everything about the house.
Master Mo is a man who keeps his promises. When he says he will leave everything behind, he really leaves everything behind.
Zhou Shu took the list handed over by Xue Liang, put the personnel list aside, and looked at the material list carefully.
Seeing this, he suddenly felt happy.
Speaking of which, when he and Mu Zhixing left their ancestral land and came to this afterworld, Zhou Shu left all the weapon-making materials he had with him to Huaxia Pavilion.
He believes in his own strength, so he has to leave more resources to Huaxia Pavilion so that they can control the situation.
Fortunately, Zhou Shu did this, otherwise he might have been robbed when he was pretending to be a slave.
He is now in a state of poverty, which is exactly when he lacks the materials to build weapons.
If you feel sleepy now, someone will give you a pillow.
Master Mo is a good man.
It is said that Master Mo was invited here by Ge Changlong with a huge sum of money. As the only weapon caster in the city, he received Ge Changlong's strong support.
As Ge Changlong said, with the exception of Yuanshi, almost all other weapons-making materials that Ge Changlong could find were sent to Master Mo's house.
No wonder Master Mo had such a big reaction when he heard that he questioned his weapon-making skills. He had a guilty conscience. He had taken so many benefits from Ge Changlong. If Ge Changlong knew that his weapon-making skills were not very good, how could he still be here?
Mixing in here?
He doesn't want to give up such a great benefit.
However, his struggles were nothing compared to his absolute strength. In the end, these things still belonged to Zhou Shu.
"It is indeed the world behind the door. Ge Changlong has always said how remote their city is and how little attention it has. Even so, it is actually extremely rich. These soldier-making materials fell into the hands of Master Mo, but
It’s really a waste.”
Zhou Shu said to himself.
Xue Liang lowered his head and couldn't hear a word of what he shouldn't have heard.
"Xue Liang, where are all the materials for making weapons?"
Zhou Shu said with some itchiness.
"They are all kept in the warehouse. They can be brought over at any time as long as adults need them."
Xue Liang said respectfully, "The servants in the house are all trained. They can identify the materials for making weapons and can deliver them as quickly as possible."
Zhou Shu spit out a few nouns and said, "Let me have these materials for making soldiers, and I will start a furnace to make soldiers."
"The city lord treats me as a national scholar, and I will definitely serve him as a national scholar. I want to contribute to this city."
Zhou Shu said seriously.
Xue Liang's body trembled and he said respectfully, "I am willing to follow you and serve you, even if I die!"
……
In the city lord's palace, Ge Changlong was sitting there, and on the chair below him were several powerful people.
"City Lord, is it inappropriate to drive Master Mo away like this?"
One person pondered and said, "Master Mo is from Tiangong Pavilion after all. What if Tiangong Pavilion is angry because of this..."
"Not that much."
Ge Changlong shook his head, "Master Mo was not driven away by me, he left by himself."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
"If he doesn't want to leave, I won't drive him away. It's just a waste of some weapon-making materials. Of course, the more weapon-making divisions, the better."
"It's just that these armorers have too much self-esteem. If he loses to me, Wu Zongquan, he won't have the shame to stay. He won't tell anyone this kind of thing. He can't afford to lose face."
"City Lord, is Wu Zongquan really better at forging weapons than Master Mo?"
Another person said, "A small general with a thousand men, where did he learn the art of forging weapons? How could his art of forging weapons be stronger than Master Mo's?"
"His skill in forging weapons has been seen by this city lord with his own eyes, and there is no way it is fake."
Ge Changlong waved his hand, "Wu Zongquan's family is innocent. When he was young, he met an expert who taught him the art of forging weapons. He has been practicing secretly for these years. In the process of forging weapons, it depends on his talent, not his background. His skill in forging weapons is
It’s not surprising that his skills are better than Master Mo’s.”
After Ge Changlong came back, he also asked people to check Wu Zongquan. Wu Zongquan was born and raised in this city. His ancestors had served in the city for several generations, so his loyalty would never be a problem.
"Tiangong Pavilion has never given us a good look. Now that we have Wu Zongquan, we don't need to beg for him in the future."
Ge Changlong seemed to be resentful and said.
Those people were still a little worried, and someone said, "City Lord, I'm still a little worried about Wu Zongquan's weapon-making skills. How about I go and give him a try?"
"You don't even believe what I say?"
Ge Changlong's face darkened and he said coldly, "Let me put it here, Wu Zongquan is my man. If any of you deliberately target him, you will be at odds with me. When the time comes, don't blame me for falling out!"
”
It was not easy for him to have a weapons master under his command. Ge Changlong would never let anyone affect the relationship between him and Wu Zongquan.
"Yes."
Everyone's hearts trembled, they were all righteous.
"City Lord, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth has fluctuated more and more recently. I suspect that spiritual insects may appear."
A person below said in a deep voice, "Today, less than one-tenth of the people in the army are equipped with magical weapons. What if the spiritual insects really appear..."
The man's expression was very solemn. Although he didn't finish his words, everyone knew what he meant.
Ge Changlong's face also became very solemn, "I just sent some Yuanshi up, and the superiors promised to allocate a batch of military supplies, but it's hard to say how long it will take. It may be one year, or it may be ten years."
"It's better to count on them than on us."
"It's a shame that all the magic weapons in Tiangong Pavilion have been robbed, otherwise——"
Ge Changlong also sighed and said.
He is the superior city lord here, but in the eyes of the real big shots, what does he mean?
"Now, I can only hope that Zong Quan can give me a surprise."
Ge Changlong sighed.
Everyone shook their heads slightly. Although a weapons forger can forge magic weapons, how many nails can a weapon forger make even if it is made of iron?
Taking a step back, Wu Zongquan is really stronger than Master Mo. After all, he is only one person. In the past, Master Mo could only cast dozens of magic weapons a year, but with Wu Zongquan, he could cast a hundred magic weapons a year. Compared to
For the army, a hundred magic weapons are just a drop in the bucket.
Once the spiritual insects break out, they will need more than one and a half magic weapons.
"City Lord, aren't the higher ups afraid that we really won't be able to defend it? If we lose our defense here and the spiritual insects march in, they won't be able to stay out of it."
Someone said reluctantly.
"That won't happen."
Some people shook their heads and said, "Even if we lose here, a strong man from above can still clean up the mess. They can bear the consequences, but we can't. If we lose, we will die."
Everyone sighed, this is the sad thing about a remote town. They have to be responsible for guarding the spirit insects, but they don't get attention from the above. But they can't lie down and let the water go, otherwise they will die!
"The soldiers are coming to cover up the water and the earth. I still don't believe it. We can't deal with just spiritual insects!"
Ge Changlong said in a deep voice.
Everyone's expressions were extremely solemn. Although they said so, everyone knew that facing the spirit insects would definitely be a brutal war.
Even among the people present, I don’t know how many will survive.
Even Ge Changlong himself cannot guarantee that he will survive.
"City Lord, I have a solution that may be able to solve our dilemma."
At this moment, a person suddenly spoke.
The people present were all high-level officials in the city and Ge Changlong's confidants. He looked at the man and asked, "What can you do?"
"To be fair to the city lord, I have a younger brother who serves in Tiangong Pavilion."
The man said in a deep voice.
"Oh? Is there such a thing? I didn't know about it before."
Ge Changlong said in surprise.
"My younger brother is incompetent and has just recently joined Tiangong Pavilion. I was about to report this matter to you, the city lord, but it has been postponed until now."
The man said, "My younger brother was also lucky enough to be accepted as an apprentice by a weapon maker from Tiangong Pavilion. City Lord, I can ask my younger brother to ask his master. Maybe he can ask for some magic weapons." "You go and give it a try. If it works, don't force it."
Ge Changlong pondered.
"City Lord, although we now have Wu Zongquan, there is only one weapon-casting division in each city. After all, it is still a little thin. Now that we have the relationship with General Ma, if we can also invite the master of General Ma's younger brother, our situation will be different.
It will surely be greatly alleviated.”
Another person said, "It would be better if Master Mo didn't leave."
"City Lord, look -"
General Ma was also a little moved.
His brother's master is his relationship. If he can really come, his status will definitely rise.
"I am not a narrow-minded person."
Ge Changlong opened his mouth and said, "If there is an armorer willing to come, I will certainly treat you favorably."
"Also, let me say it again, the reason why Master Mo left has nothing to do with Wu Zongquan. He left of his own accord. No one is allowed to mention this matter again. Do you understand?"
"Yes!"
"General Ma, I'd like you to contact your brother's master. If he is willing to come, I will agree to it as long as the request is not too excessive."
Ge Changlong said in a deep voice.
"Don't worry, City Lord, this matter will be taken care of by me."
General Nama said with great joy.
"I will set off in person right now and I will definitely convince him to come to us!"
General Ma couldn't wait to walk out.
In his hurry, he almost bumped into someone who was coming in.
"Why are you so frivolous! Is this a place where you can just wander in?"
General Ma looked up and saw an unfamiliar face, and said unhappily.
He thought he was an ordinary soldier from the city lord's palace.
Before he finished speaking, he heard Ge Changlong's voice.
"Zong Quan? Why are you here? Do you have any business with me?"
Ge Changlong said with a smile, his tone was so gentle that he hardly sounded like a city lord.
General Ma's face suddenly became a little embarrassed. Is this person Wu Zongquan?
Zhou Shu ignored General Ma, raised his hands directly to Ge Changlong, and said, "I really have something to do with the city lord, so I came without permission. Please forgive me."
"Hey——"
Ge Changlong waved his hand and said, "The door of my City Lord's Mansion will always be open to you. You can come whenever you want. You don't need to notify me, just come in directly."
"Tell me, what's the matter with you?"
Zhou Shu's ignorance made General Ma's face become very ugly. His face was gloomy, and he stopped lingering and walked directly out.
This unlucky boy actually dares to humiliate this general like this. When this general invites the armorer from Tiangong Pavilion, let’s see how arrogant you are!
Seeing the importance Ge Changlong attached to Zhou Shu, General Ma's heart became even more passionate. With the importance the city lord placed on the armorer, if he could really invite an armorer who was more powerful than Wu Zongquan, then he would not have to worry about his success?<
/p>
No one cared about General Ma's departure.
Everyone's eyes fell on Zhou Shu.
These high-level officials in the city were all sizing up Zhou Shu, wanting to see what kind of person this young man who was favored by the city lord was.
"Thanks to the love of the city lord."
Zhou Shu smiled slightly, cupped his hands and said, "My subordinates are very frightened, fearing that they will not be able to live up to the love of the city lord, so they do not dare to be disrespectful and seize the time to build soldiers."
"It turned out that I was pretty lucky, and the casting was successful in the first batch."
Zhou Shu smiled and said, "I specially dedicated this forged magic weapon to the city lord!"
While speaking, Zhou Shu flipped his wrist, and a three-foot long sword appeared in his hand.
"Oh? Another magic weapon was forged so quickly?"
Ge Changlong said surprisingly.
"Everyone, look at it. It took Master Mo more than ten days to cast a magic weapon. Zong Quan only took one day to cast a magic weapon. Which one is stronger and which one is weaker? Do you still have any doubts about it?
?"
Ge Changlong laughed loudly and said, "Zongquan, I am very happy that you have such a heart."
"Here, let me take a look at the quality of the sword you forged?"
Ge Changlong raised his hand, and the long sword in Zhou Shu's hand had fallen into his hand.
The sound of his fingertips grazing the sword blade made Ge Changlong look satisfied on his face.
"What a sword!"
He glanced across the audience, "Generals, come and take a look at Zong Quan's craftsmanship."
"I have gained Zongquan, and I am as powerful as a tiger!"
Ge Changlong said with a smile.
He handed the long sword in his hand to a general beside him and asked everyone to pass it around.
The generals looked at the long sword one by one and nodded.
"Congratulations to the city lord, you have no worries with Master Wu's help."
Everyone complimented one after another.
In such a short time, Zhou Shu has changed from Wu Zongquan to Master Wu.
He observed the crowd, feeling a little speechless. It seemed that Ge Changlong was not the only one who had never seen the world before.
These people are all high-level people in the city, and their strength is quite strong. For such ordinary innate magic weapons, they are so emotional. Isn’t this because they have never seen the world?
You know, in Huaxia Pavilion, even the weakest weapon maker can easily forge such a magical weapon.
At this level, can he be called a master?
Zhou Shu himself was a little lucky. Fortunately, he only used less than 30% of his strength. Otherwise, he would have scared these people?
It seems that when forging soldiers in the future, you have to be careful so as not to arouse the suspicion of these people.
"Zong Quan, if you try your best to create such a magical weapon, how soon will it be possible to cast one?"
Ge Changlong looked at Zhou Shu with a look of relief and asked.
Zhou Shu hesitated for a moment. If he tried his best to cast such an ordinary innate magic weapon, he could cast one in an instant.
But to put it this way, it definitely won’t work.
"If you try your best and consider the success rate, you should be able to get one in five days."
