224 Opening
Ning Tian's previous words didn't have any meaning to Gu Xuan'er at all, because with her cognition, she couldn't understand these deceitful arguments at all.
For the current world, Gu Xuan'er is like a little girl who just came out of a small village and doesn't understand anything. Perhaps, when they were in the Netherworld, she learned a lot of tactics, but they were tactics, not the tricks they are now.
But she understood the last sentence. She had a deep impression of the word fishing in troubled waters, because once Ning Tian said this word, in the near future, they would definitely gain great benefits.
And Ning Tian still thought that he was completing a very sacred teaching process. Seeing Gu Xuan'er's sudden expression, he thought that his teaching level was very high, and Gu Xuan'er had completely understood what he was saying.
They are now fully integrated into the environment of the Ice Furnace. As its name suggests, the Ice Forge is a large furnace filled with all kinds of humans in the Immortal Realm. The races in the previous wars, they can all be seen here. At the beginning, Gu Xuan'er would be inexplicably nervous when she saw these people, as if she had fallen into a huge trap. If it weren't for Ning Tian's deep enough understanding of her to stop her behavior in the first place, I believe that this little girl who looks harmless to humans and animals would have set off a bloody storm long ago, and the two of them would undoubtedly be drowned in this bloody storm.
Habits are something that comes slowly. And some people's adaptability is amazing, including Ning Tian and Gu Xuan'er. Although looking at these races. They naturally think of their comrades who died in the previous battle, but they quickly suppress this feeling. However, they did not forget this hatred for a moment.
Of course they want revenge. But they know who to go to.
Just as Ning Tian analyzed before. This event is a great harvest. People from all over the world are flocking here with their lives. However, the Ice Furnace, despite its size, is starting to look too small compared to the other two continents. The people who can come in are nothing more than people of noble status. They have a lot of influence in all aspects.
The so-called harvest, if analyzed carefully, is nothing more than some people with enough power to divide everyone's wealth.
The reason why Ning Tian said that none of these people would lose their interests. Not only because they know how to make trade-offs, but most importantly, they are now dividing the interests that should belong to others.
Maybe. At some point, their taxes will be unusually heavy for years to come because of this event.
Perhaps, some mines in a certain area will eventually dry up because of this event.
Maybe. Certain people in certain geographies. It will be collectively rationalized and disappeared because of this grand event.
However, those don't seem to have anything to do with everyone here today. They are just bargaining chips in this event in exchange for greater benefits. Their fate has never been in their own hands. They don't even know anyone here. This may be the sadness of the little people.
The Ice Forge has not been able to find itself to the point where it is today, not because of how wise a monarch it is. On the contrary, it is not a monarchy, but an elder.
At first, the elders here were just a few good blacksmiths. They also went into exile here for some compelling reasons.
It's not a paradise. However, it is a paradise for blacksmiths.
The environment couldn't be better for blacksmithing. This is especially true in the central part of the country, which is now under key protection. Over here. The extreme heat and cold of the island meet to form a special area - the Polar Land of Ice and Fire. Forging is carried out here. The ore is purified to maximum precision. Not only that, but because of the special environment here, the speed of weapon shaping has been greatly increased, which allows the various properties of the weapon to be preserved to the maximum.
Design and implementation are two very different cases. Design can be perfect, but when put into practice, it doesn't work.
But if a forger is perfect in his design, then there is a place in this world that can bring it closest to perfection, and that place is here - the Polar Land of Ice and Fire.
With the development of ice and snow furnaces. The elders here are no longer limited to the identity of forgers. There are various identities involved. But they have one thing in common, they are extremely capable, and they have no close ties with the power groups of the two continents. These are all necessary elements of the examination of elders. Because only in this way can the Ice Furnace be guaranteed equal status with the other two continents.
"During this time, our forging room is not at all peaceful. A few newcomers came, and they were all eager to try this conference. Although I haven't been shameless enough to go in and peek. But judging from the defective products they have created during this time, their abilities are definitely qualified. It's just that I don't know why these young people suddenly gathered here. ”
If Lei Hao was here at this time, she would have been very surprised. Because Uncle Guo, who has always been kind and kind, actually appeared at the regular meeting of the Presbyterian Church. Looking at his posture, it seems that the weight of his speech is still quite heavy. Lao Guo, who is extremely kind to everyone on weekdays, has the air of a superior at this time, and his tone of speech is completely different from usual, with enough majesty.
"Lao Guo, you're not clearing the way for your little apprentice, are you? Although Lei Hao also participated in the conference this time, if she wants to win the championship, she has to rely on her own strength. I've heard of a few other little guys, too. But we are a melting pot of ice and snow, and the ice and snow furnace has always adhered to the concept of freedom and openness. There are some young people who want to express themselves through this event, and there is nothing wrong with that. ”
Another elder said with a smile. He didn't seem to take the few little guys in Lao Guo Kong's eyes at all.
They were all elders, and they all knew everything about what was going on in the Ice Forge Furnace. The few people Lao Guo said, they are naturally very clear. However, he still felt that Lao Guo was a little too cautious. In his eyes. These little people are nothing more than little people chasing fame and fortune.
"Yes, our Ice and Snow Furnace can absorb so many talents to join, isn't it because we can give them enough freedom, and the resources are absolutely open to them. Although the timing of their appearance is indeed somewhat speculative, it is undeniable that they do have the ability. Our principles can be used by those who can. Besides, they are now only through their own means. It's just that you've qualified for the competition, but it's not like you'll be able to do it in the end. You're really overthinking. ”
"That's it. Not to mention that they didn't do well, they really got a place from this conference. We're really going to use them. Isn't there a final assessment? Their backgrounds are certainly worth looking into now, but it's just a game. Outsiders value it so much because they are profitable, and most of these interests have nothing to do with the game. If it's really sent by other forces. It can really forge divine weapons. Will they still be sent out to compete? Wouldn't that be shooting yourself in the foot? ”
The meeting was convened in accordance with the usual practice. Before each conference, they would meet to see if there was anything left unconsidered. Although the event is held by a special person. But in the end, they still have to follow the system of elders to make sure that there are no mistakes.
At this time, Lao Guo was the first to express his doubts.
It's all about this game. Those exchanges of interests on the periphery are side branches. It's the competition that's all about it. Although the process of the competition can seem extremely boring, the result is final.
The blacksmiths here do their part every day, but their work is not very heavy. Otherwise, Lao Xu would not have time to drink tea every day. The rest of their time. Most of them are used for self-directed research. And this time of year is when they deliver their answers.
And this answer sheet is not a paper test paper in the ordinary sense, but a new weapon.
These weapons are the focus of the major forces' rush to grab them.
Some people design in a broad sense. Their design philosophy is not to be strong individually, but to be strong collectively. A few times, because of one person's design, there was an extra class on the road. This is a weapon to enhance strength in a broad sense. Of course, such people are still in the minority, because it requires a lot of battlefield experience.
There are also some blacksmiths, whose research focus is not on appearance, but on the internal material ratio.
A lot of new mineral resources are discovered every year. They may be brand new, or they may be mutated by some minerals. But these ores are all new to the forge. They need to study the availability of these ores. If they can do so, they will work out new material ratios that will make all aspects of the weapon's performance even better.
On the other hand, they also had to optimize the previous recipe. Although it is said that the design can be perfect, it does not mean that someone can do it. This requires a lot of validation.
For the other group of smiths, their focus is on single weapons. Their purpose was to create a divine army.
The Divine Soldier is actually just a rather exaggerated statement. Because the divine soldiers, the weapons used by the gods, that are the divine soldiers. The weapons they forged were obviously not for God.
People who study divine weapons are in research all year round, because there are many rare materials, which are impossible to take out and squander for them, not to mention, many rare materials, which are not recyclable. Therefore, they may have 99% certainty, but the final verification can only be carried out at this conference.
These people may be single-minded, or they may be two or three at the same time. Some studies may have already been confirmed. But it's been kept a secret.
And this conference is the time to reveal the mystery.
Forging, this is the soul industry of the Ice and Snow Furnace, so it is not unreasonable for the elders to be so cautious at this time. Whoever really messes with this conference will be a slap in the face.
"I mean, what if these guys were sent by some people to do bad things. I'm confident in the security check, but if some people really want to do something, we have to guard against it. ”
Lao Guo was not angry because of the ridicule of these people, and still talked about his concerns very seriously. He understood. These people have just become a little too comfortable because of the peace of these years. In Lao Guo's view, the more comfortable he is, the more problems he will have.
"Wouldn't it? Who has the audacity? Just a few of them? Our ice and snow furnace is not vegetarian. ”
"I think so. If they really have that ability, why do they want to come here, although we don't have a good relationship with other forces, but they all want something from us, what good is it for them to make trouble here? ”
Comfort makes people arrogant, that's true.
"Just say what you mean. That's what you said. I think I have some ideas of my own. Since it was said at the elders' meeting, then according to the old rules, you say what you think. Then let's vote. ”
It is said that when people get old, they become very nagging when they speak, and a very simple sentence will always be very long. And it will be guessed for a long time.
But that's just some people, and some people. For example, the one who blows the beard now. His temperament is obviously much straighter. The best solution to this problem is to vote on the elders. He had the right to vote, but he didn't feel obligated to follow the gang to guess the riddle, so he couldn't wait to say this seemingly impolite sentence.
Lao Guo smiled slyly like an old fox. That's exactly what he wanted. Some things have to be said under the strong questioning of others to achieve the kind of results you want.
"Then I won't talk nonsense. As you said, they have the right and the strength to participate in this conference. We also have an obligation to protect the ice and snow furnaces. I suggest that from now on, we should mobilize people to closely monitor them. Now I want to check their old bottom. Obviously it's very difficult. And even if they really have any problems outside, wait for the people sent out to find out. Then it will be too late. The best thing to do is to look at the eyes. If they really want to do something wrong, it must be at this conference. Before I vote, I have to warn you very seriously. Always remember what your rights are for. ”
If it were placed elsewhere, Lao Guo's last sentence, which was almost threatening, would definitely have caused his proposal to encounter unprecedented resistance. However, this is the melting pot of ice and snow. The selection of each elder is the result of an extremely rigorous examination. These elders may be no different from other people, and will do things according to their own preferences. When you're upset, you'll definitely blow your beard and stare at you.
But once they were in the house, they knew exactly what they were supposed to do.
Lao Guo's proposal was unanimously approved.
That's how powerful the decision-makers are. A few simple words from a few of them will make many people busy. And after the vote, the old guys began to talk after the meeting as if nothing had happened.
"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the Ice and Snow Forge for this Divine Forge Conference. Thank you for your support and love over the years. ”
A very sweet sound came from a kick in the venue. Hearing this, everyone stopped talking, and they knew that the assembly had officially begun.
A Meizu teenager in a fiery red suit appeared from the venue, attracting everyone's attention as soon as he appeared.
Meizu, synonymous with beauty and sexiness.
In the past, the major forces competed to chase the object.
But beautiful things are always fragile. It's not because of how fragile they are, it's because of the inherent greed of human beings that they can't help but want to possess. And this possession is the most serious of destruction.
Ever since Meizu became known to others, their doom has come. The dignitaries regarded being able to have a Meizu female pet as a symbol of their identity and status. Meizu was swept away overnight.
There are no non-renewable resources in the world. The reason why they are called non-renewable is because their formation cycle is particularly long, almost non-renewable.
There is also the non-renewable, because the rate of destruction is so rapid that they are not given time to regenerate. For example, Meizu.
Meizu's reproductive ability is not much different from other races. The problem is that their survival rate is too low. One hundred Meizu newborns can survive to adulthood smoothly, which is already a high chance. It can be seen that Meizu is rare.
And the bounty hunters are crazy to hunt them down under the trend of huge profits, so that their survival rate is minimized. This is also the reason why today's Meizu girl has just appeared on the stage and attracted everyone's attention.
If it weren't for the special status of the Ice and Snow Furnace now, it would be almost impossible to protect the Meizu who fled here.
Meizu's beauty is on par with elf girls. But they are born with an innate ability to seduce. It's a talent, not a skill. This allure comes naturally. When you see them for the first time, it's hard not to be captivated by them. This is very different from the non-cannibalistic fireworks of the elves, which is the main reason why they are so fascinating to the world.
Although, this Meizu girl looked at these people's slightly greedy eyes, and she was very resentful in her heart. But her face did not show the slightest disgust, or the slightest disgust was not visible at all in the seriousness of others. All you see is endless charm.
"Now, allow me to announce that this Divine Weapon Forging Conference is officially opened!" (To be continued......)
