645. in the first place

(2nd Update)

As the president of the Blacksmiths Association and one of the three great craftsmen in the world, Lou Gao naturally lives in the central city of Gengxin City.

Gengxin City itself is not too big, and one-fifth of the area was smashed by Yang Ming with a meteorite, so Yang Ming didn't waste it for long, and came to the central area of Gengxin City.

"Big, my lord, in front of me is where the seniors of the building live."

The strong man trembled and pointed out a clear way to Yang Ming.

Since the other party had completed the task of leading the way, Yang Ming naturally didn't want to waste time on this kind of pawn, so he raised his hand casually and said, "You get out of here." ”

"Yes, yes, yes."

This strong man was afraid that Yang Ming would pick a bone in his egg, so he rolled on the ground and rolled into the distance as he said, attracting countless pairs of eyes from pedestrians around, standing on both sides of the road, pointing and talking about it.

Yang Ming ignored the disturbances around him and raised his eyes to look ahead.

It's a tall building, at least 30 meters tall, covering a huge area, and the fact that it occupies such a large area in the heart of the city shows its importance to the city.

On the whole, this building is equivalent to the great fighting arena of Soto City, and directly above the building, there is a dark iron plaque with no words on it, only two raised patterns of a hammer and a chisel.

A dull, fiery atmosphere hits the face.

There is no doubt that this is the headquarters of the Blacksmiths' Guild.

The huge building looks a bit rugged, without any ornate decorations, and there isn't even a guard at the gate, but there is a steady stream of people coming and going, and the three gates are open, and you can see the bustling flow of people inside from the outside.

The Blacksmiths' Guild is divided into five tiers.

On the first floor is the trading area, where blacksmiths trade their favorite creations or some metals, and of course, there are also vendors who specialize in selling all kinds of metals.

The second layer is the premium trading area, where rare metals are generally traded.

The third layer is the blacksmith registration assessment area, which specializes in the blacksmith level assessment.

The fourth floor is the VIP area, which is also the auction area, where some particularly precious and rare minted items are regularly auctioned.

The fifth floor is the office area of the Blacksmiths' Guild, where a considerable number of its members will work.

Although Gengxin City has changed hands several times, first the Wuhun Empire seized this metal city from the Star Luo Empire, and then the Heaven Dou Empire seized the city and occupied the city, sixty percent of the residents who originally lived here had already migrated to the Star Luo Empire, but among the remaining forty percent of the residents, a considerable number of blacksmiths still stayed here.

Yang Ming entered the blacksmith association.

Although I had only experienced the baptism of war a few days ago, I could still see a lot of people in the hall on the first floor, and the scene was very lively.

It was a fully open hall, empty except for the huge pillars that supported the building, except for a large circle of counters next to the wall in the outermost circle, behind which were various blacksmiths' finished products.

The hall on the first floor is divided into two main areas, on the left is the blacksmiths consignment of various finished products, and on the right is the metal trading area, from which the association will take a 5% commission, so most of the blacksmiths who come to consign are blacksmiths.

Yang Ming stepped forward and walked around casually.

Although with Yang Ming's current vision, he has long stopped paying attention to the things made by these blacksmiths, but judging from the current level of science and technology in the Douluo Continent, the craftsmanship of these blacksmiths is still very good, at least exceeding the average.

This made Yang Ming even more determined, he must pack up the blacksmiths of Gengxin City and bring them back to Heaven Dou City.

He not only wants a group of skilled craftsmen to help him build a batch of hidden weapons, but also hopes that they can work hard to create a warship that can cross the ocean.

As mentioned earlier, the current level of science and technology in the Douluo Continent is very low, and the ocean-going navigation technology is not at home, so don't even think about crossing the ocean to the continent on the other side, let alone ocean-going sailing, even offshore navigation, most of the ships are now very rough to build, and they can only meet the needs of offshore fishermen for fishing operations.

Of course, the underdeveloped ocean technology of the Douluo Continent is also due to the fact that there were only two major empires in the Douluo Continent before, and the countries of the Star Luo Empire and the Heaven Dou Empire are both located deep inland, so there is not too strong demand for expanding maritime trade, so it will cause the current situation.

But Yang Ming is different, the soul from the previous life makes him very aware of the importance of dominating the sea power, especially his current ambition is very big, not only wanting to dominate the Douluo Continent, but also wanting to dominate the continent on the other side of the ocean.

While thinking about these trivial developments, Yang Ming came to the side stairs and went upstairs.

There were two guards at the staircase, and when they saw Yang Ming is face, they wanted to go forward to investigate.

Before they could speak, they put on a pair of kaleidoscope writing wheels, and the memory was quietly tampered with, and they immediately stood on both sides and let them pass.

When you step on the second floor, you suddenly feel different.

The second floor is not as tall as the first floor, and it is not completely open, and the first thing that feels quiet is that it is less noisy.

It is divided into shops, and there is a sidewalk about five meters wide between the two rows of shops, and there are hundreds of shops on the second floor.

This is a high-end trading area, and those who can open stores here have a certain background, and they are also divided into two major areas: the finished product area and the metal area, where there are many good things, but correspondingly, the price is relatively high.

Yang Ming still walked around casually, although the things sold here were indeed a lot more high-end, but for a powerhouse in his realm, it was not much help at all.

Yang Ming was not interested, and simply walked to the third floor.

Between the second and third floors, there are also two guards.

The difference is that these two guards are not ordinary people, but level 50 soul kings, which are placed in a small place, they are all considered masters, and they can only act as guards here, and they also show from the side that the blacksmith association is rich and powerful, and they can invite such a master.

Just like before, even if these two guards reached the Soul King level, they couldn't resist Yang Ming's Kaleidoscope Writing Wheel Eye Illusion.

After going upstairs on the third and fourth floors, all they saw were closed doors, and it was impossible to see the specific situation inside, and between each floor, there were also two guards, and one was stronger than the other.

Even, when it came to the guards between the third and fourth floors, they had been rotated into two seventy-level soul saints.
