Master Liao felt extremely bitter in his heart. As a master of weaponry, he knew very well the significance of iron. There were more iron ores than copper ores, sources of iron were widespread, and the quality of iron was superior to bronze. Once iron came out, iron would be popular throughout the world.
All the cities in Xia will change as a result.
Xi Guo controlled such a shocking secret, and he, an outsider, learned about it and was caught on the spot. Master Liao knew his own ending with his buttocks.
In order to keep the secret, Xiguo would not let him go no matter what. A decent death would be considered a good thing, unless...unless he became a member of Xidu and kept this secret.
After Master Liao said these words, seeing that King Xi and Elder Wu Zhu did not respond, he immediately continued with a strong desire to survive:
"Your Majesty, don't worry. Lord Izumo really doesn't know about the iron weapons. I have another purpose in coming to Xidu."
Wu Tong asked: "What is the purpose?"
Master Liao: "The King of Izumo purchased the Hundred-Refined Divine Weapon Chasing Stars and Moon-Chasing Sword from you. After getting the divine weapon, he couldn't put it down, so he became delusional, thinking that Xidu might have discovered a mysterious and unknown gold and stone mine that could be used to create hundreds of refining gods in large quantities.
Soldiers, so I sent them to Xidu. Hey, I don’t want to do such dirty things at first, but how can someone say so lightly?”
What Master Liao said was sincere, and the grievances and helplessness were vividly explained without any sense of disobedience. It was as if he had forgotten that he was the one who incited the Izumo King, and now he was trying to defeat him.
When Yao Yun heard this, he suddenly realized that he never thought that the disaster was caused by the Hundred-Refined Divine Weapon. He had been very cautious and only sold one Hundred-Refined Divine Weapon.
But I didn't expect that Lord Izumo's imagination was so rich that he actually guessed that the Eight-nine-Nine-Level Shibai-Refined Divine Weapons could indeed be continuously crafted. It was not wrong to say that the Hundred-Refined Steel was a mysterious and unknown gold and stone material.
Yao Yun has never underestimated people in this world, but he still can't believe that Lord Izumo is such a monster. Who could have guessed that Master Liao, the master of weapons casting in front of him, is the most suspicious.
However, Yao Yun did not point it out, but continued to ask.
"I believe you for a moment. According to your statement, the Lord of Izumo does not know the art of iron refining, but only for the sake of refining the magic weapon?" Yao Yun asked.
Yao Yun thought about it for a while, and suddenly asked with a hint of murderous intent: "What about the people in the caravan?"
If people from the caravan also know about it, it will be more troublesome. If they are arrested, it will make the matter bigger. When other caravans also get involved, Yao Yun will have a headache.
Master Liao shook his head: "They don't know. They all focus on the mine, thinking that there are magical materials and treasures in the mine that can create a hundred-refined magic weapon and make iron tools hard and sharp!"
After Yao Yun heard this, he felt a little relieved, but he didn't dare to completely believe the unscrupulous weapon master in front of him. He showed no mercy to his previous master and betrayed him as soon as he said betrayal. The nonsense of such a person still needs to be carefully considered.
OK.
Yao Yun pondered and said: "I'm sorry you don't dare to deceive me. In this case, you go back to the caravan now and find time to go to the mines a few more times. Then we will capture you and cooperate with the soldiers of Xidu!"
When Master Liao heard this, he finally let go of his worries, and said flatteringly: "I understand, I will find the Dao leader when I get back. Cheng Xidu may have discovered a magical gold and stone deposit. This kind of natural material and earth
The essence of the treasure can be used to create a hundred-refined magic weapon, and the powder can make iron tools hard. Moreover, these treasures have incredible effects, so the number should be quite rare."
Master Liao was very wise and immediately considered Yao Yun's side.
Compared with the exposure of the art of iron smelting, the emergence of a new natural material and earthly treasure is obviously insignificant. After all, mineral reserves are limited and their value is also limited.
If we continue to be far-fetched and cite scriptures to claim that these treasures are so outrageous that they must be rare, then even less attention will be attracted.
I'm afraid that the King of Izumo will have to weigh whether it's worth taking action at that time. After all, although the Xi Kingdom is small, it has a profound background, and not everyone can handle it if there is a Xi clan.
Master Liao left after expressing his loyalty many times, and the bald dragon followed him, monitoring him.
Only Wu Tong and Yao Yun were left in the witch temple.
The wizard said: "Your Majesty, although this person looks quite noble, he is greedy for life and afraid of death. He has no principles when facing a desperate situation. He cannot be trusted."
Wu Tong's evaluation hit the nail on the head.
Yao Yun nodded in agreement: "Well, I can see it, but most of what he said is still credible. Now his life is in our hands. If he wants to survive, he must keep the method of making iron.
The secret, I believe he knows how to do it!"
A smile also broke out on Wu Tong's face: "Well, that's indeed what happened. It's really a turn of events. It was already a dead end, but I didn't expect that there was a sudden turn for the better."
Yao Yun was relieved: "It depends on Master Liao's performance. If the plan succeeds, the secret of the iron-making method can be kept secret for a while. I hope that when the time is right, we will take the initiative to announce it. By then we will not only
When you get the benefits you deserve, you can also gain prestige, fame, and even illusory luck."
Wu Tong smiled and nodded.
...
On the other side, the bald dragon carried Master Liao and quietly returned to the Izumo caravan station.
"Master Liao, you are in the room, I thought you were not here." Not long after, Brother Dao came over to find Master Liao.
Master Liao looked as usual and said, "I just went to the hut."
Brother Dao didn't think much, nodded repeatedly, and asked: "Master Liao, how is the research on the iron sword? I only borrowed this sword for one night, and I have to return it tomorrow."
Master Liao smiled: "No problem, you can return it to me tomorrow, I already know it."
Brother Dao: "Oh~ Master, what did you see? Well, Master, I'm just curious, if you can't tell me, forget it, hahaha~"
If it were yesterday, Master Liao would definitely not have the time to talk to Brother Dao, but now, he is eager to impart some information to the leader of Dao.
"It's okay to tell you. You have guessed it before. Xidu may have really discovered a magical gold and stone mine. Its essence can be used to create a hundred-refined magic weapon. Even the powder can be used to create such a hard and sharp weapon.
The iron sword!"
Master Liao played with the iron sword in his hand and was very sure.
When Brother Dao heard this, he was immediately shocked. It coincided with his guess. Could it be that the guy in front of him plagiarized his guess? It was really insidious and hypocritical.
"Master, you have good eyesight. In this case, have we made a great contribution? If we report it to the king, the king will definitely reward you greatly!"
Master Liao secretly despised you and returned the reward. If I hadn't interceded for you, King Xi would have killed all of you.
"Don't worry, the effect of this treasure is far beyond my expectation. However, the number of things that defy the heavens must be rare. We still need to find out clearly. If the number of this kind of treasure is rare, the king does not need to raise troops to fight for it, just buy it from King Xi.
.”
Brother Dao heard this and thought it made sense. He thought about it for a while and said, "Then let's go to the Xidu Mine tomorrow to have a look. I've already made some inquiries..."
Master Liao listened with joy on his face, but he was full of emotions in his heart. He accidentally told a big lie. If he succeeded, his former master, Lord Izumo, might be tricked and he would not be able to find the north, south, south, east, or west.
