Chapter 22: The Great Blacksmith

"Dragon Valley?!" the fat golden man screamed, his delicate voice startling some of the birds around him. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

"That's right, it's Ryugu, what's wrong?" Qingkong suddenly pretended to have a straight face, "Your generous words just now can't be perfunctory to me, right?"

The fat man suddenly felt that he had been deceived, it was really a sugar-coated cannonball, and he made himself dizzy with a thank you.

"Huh...... How can I be, I'm not happy to be so appreciated by Xiaokong!" The golden fat man barely squeezed out a smile on his face, but he didn't know that the smile was not much better than crying.

The golden fat man cautiously moved step by step towards the edge of the Dragon Valley, and when he saw that it was like an abyss below, his heart was about to fall. He hadn't heard much about Dragon Valley, what evil dragons, strange beasts, and all kinds of cannibalistic vegetation, it was creepy to think about.

"Uh...... Boss, let me ask......" The golden fat man actually had a slight sweat on his head, "First of all, let me state first, it's not that I don't want to go, it's just that I'm lazy, unlike you who have unique skills, and I don't know any martial arts, I'm afraid I'll drag you down." ”

Qingkong smiled, and said sarcastically, "Drag? I've already counted one, so what's the point of having one more of you?"

"It's just that if you don't want me to be in danger, then come with me," Qingkong said solemnly, "because I can only trust you." ”

Qingkong thought of the few people who took the initiative to protect him today, and a cold light flashed in his eyes.

"Danger, what danger?" the fat golden man heard that there would be danger in the sky, and his expression became serious.

"Don't worry about it, anyway, I need you to go to Dragon Valley with me to practice, do you agree?" asked Qingkong.

In the past, Qingkong asked him to do everything in a commanding tone, but this time it was a request, is there really any danger?

The golden fat man didn't dare to guess Qingkong's life, so he nodded hesitantly and promised, "I'll go." But can I bring more food, even if there is an accident, I will have to eat enough and die......"

Qingkong looked into the distance, his eyes were deep, and he said word by word: "None of us will have an accident, even if someone deliberately makes an 'accident', I want him to gain more than he loses!"

Although the voice of the sky was not loud, it kept echoing in the dragon valley below, as if someone was responding.

On the border of Dragon Valley, two figures, one tall and one short, one fat and one thin, the setting sun that had gradually set on them was extremely dazzling.

The next morning, in the room of the Cloud Palace, Qingkong wrapped himself tightly, and when he looked in the mirror, he couldn't even recognize that it was him, and then quietly opened the back window and left the room, he wanted to prepare some useful things before entering the Dragon Valley.

Qingkong quickly turned left and right in the remote alleys, and did not stop for a moment, and finally he came to the door of a tall shop in the northern part of Dongcheng.

The shop is a small four-storey building with a gorgeous and classical exterior and an artistic atmosphere. On the front of the shop hangs a huge horizontal plaque with a magnificent few big characters written on it: Longtu Armory Pavilion.

In the Continent of the Source of Life, if you dare to use the word "Dragon Map" as the name of the shop, if it is not a well-known figure in this industry, it is that this person has a problem with his head, and his horizontal plaque will be smashed in less than a month.

And the owner of this shop in front of Qingkong must belong to the former.

The owner of the shop is named Chi Wei, a famous blacksmith in the world of Longtu.

Blazing became famous at a young age, and has now been famous in the world of Longtu for decades. Now Chi Wei is an old man who is nearly 100 years old, but he can still forge indestructible weapons, and his results are not only weapons, but also a work of art, which is pleasing to the eye.

But as a human race, it is not so easy to become one of the few great forgers in the Dragon Atlas world.

Because the Terrans do not have their own flames like the forgers of the Yilong Clan, they can smelt the forged weapons to make them more indestructible, nor do they have various mysterious raw materials to increase the success rate of forging and other effects.

Blazing became famous simply because of his ingenious skills and mastery of appearance shaping.

He had forged countless weapons, but the one he was most proud of was the Dragon Tongue Sword forged for Qingyu, the young city lord of Qingyun City at that time, more than ten years ago.

The rare ancient flame steel, coupled with the tempering of the flames, and his own whimsical shape design, after several months of forging, this dragon tongue sword is not only extremely sharp, but also will make the owner extremely majestic.

With this dragon tongue sword, Chi Wei was promoted from a senior forging master to a great forging master in his ancient years, fulfilling his childhood dream.

After becoming famous, his self-made armory pavilion was also rebuilt, and the word "dragon map" was also added to the front of the horizontal plaque. Although the shop is run by a few of his proud disciples, the business is still endless. And Chi Wei himself has decided to go into hiding, except for the occasional small gadgets for the officials and nobles in the city, the rest of the time is spent in peace.

Standing in front of the door and looking around, seeing that no one noticed him, he stepped into the main entrance of the Armory.

Entering the Armory Pavilion, Qingkong was not attracted by the dazzling array of weapons, but walked straight upstairs.

"Hey...... Ay...... You can't go up, this warrior. A middle-aged man in the store suddenly shouted after seeing a tightly wrapped person go straight to the second floor.

Qingkong stopped, slightly lifted the silk cloth covering his head, and let the middle-aged man see his face.

The middle-aged man had obviously seen Qingkong and knew that he was not an ordinary buyer, so he said, "I'm sorry, please wait, I'll go and inform the teacher." It turned out that this middle-aged man was one of Chi Wei's apprentices.

Qingkong nodded slightly, and the middle-aged man rushed upstairs to report it.

In less than a moment, the middle-aged man walked down, bowed slightly to Qingkong and said, "The teacher said, please go up." Go up and turn left into the second room. ”

Remembering the location, Sky walked up the stairs inside. As soon as he stepped into the room that the middle-aged man had spoken, a hand appeared and pulled him in. Qingkong just wanted to resist, but found that it was actually the Great Forge Master, so he opened his mouth to ask what was going on, only to see Chi Wei put a finger to his mouth with a stern expression, signaling him not to speak.

Seeing that Qingkong didn't speak, Chi Wei hurriedly closed the door, checked whether the window behind him was closed tightly, and only exhaled after working for a long time to find that everything was safe.

Seeing the nearly 100-year-old man doing all this so funny, Qingkong smiled and said, "I said, old man, what bad thing have you done to be so careful?"

"It's not because of you, Young Master Qingkong!" said with a wry smile.

"Because of me?" asked Aoku, puzzled.

"Do you remember the ten jade ring-shaped hidden weapons you asked me to polish for you with 'Jingyu'?" said Blazing Wei with a shake of his head.

Qingkong was suddenly shocked, could it be that the auction had been discovered?

"What?" Qingkong squinted, and there was a subtle coldness in the corner of his eye.

"Last night, the housekeeper in charge of the auction at Willy Restaurant brought a lot of people to me, saying that a very valuable thing they auctioned was robbed by someone, and the secret weapon used by that person may be made of crystal jade, and I am the only one who can make crystal jade in this Qingyun City, so ......" Chi Wei recalled.

"So, you're going to tell them a few crystals that I polished with you?" Qingkong interrupted Chi Wei's words and asked coldly.

"No...... No, my young master, how could I tell them this?, but this morning I found out that there was their eyeliner near my shop, and they had already started to spy on me, so I was so careful. Chi Wei hurriedly replied.

"Then why don't you tell them how many crystals I polished?" said with a smirk.

"Because...... Because I believe that Young Master Qing, you have absolutely nothing to do with what happened to them. Blazing replied wisely.

Chi Wei is just an accomplished forger, he has earned a lot of money over the years, but he does not dare to offend those powerful people if he has money, this is an eternal truth. Although Qingkong is known to be unpopular in the family, he is also a powerful child after all, so it is better not to offend unless necessary.

"What if I told you that I stole their stuff?" said softly, as if intent on playing tricks on Blazing.

"What? I'm sorry, Master Qingkong, I'm nearly 100 years old, and I'm often deaf in my ears, so I didn't hear what I said just now. Chi Wei said with some nervousness, because even if he heard some words, he had to pretend not to hear them.

Qingkong smiled, and stopped teasing the old man.

"Alright, I've got a good errand for you here. Qingkong said.

Blazing looked at Qingkong suspiciously, and said in his heart: "If there is any good errand, it must be to help you polish the secret weapon to do bad things, as long as it doesn't implicate me, it will already be blessed by Longtu." ”

Qingkong looked at the old fox with a thoughtful expression, so he said: "That's right, that's what you want, help me polish the crystal jade ring like last time, this time the number should be enough, rest assured that money will not be disadvantaged to you." ”

Chi Wei nodded with a wry smile, what else? He was already on the thief ship, and he couldn't refuse.

"And ......" Seeing that Chi Wei agreed, Qing Kong immediately took out a piece of yellow paper folded in half from his arms and handed it to Chi Wei.

Chi Wei took it, although the paper folded in half was as light as a feather, but he felt extremely heavy, and opened it tremblingly to look at the contents, only to find that it was actually a design drawing.

As a great forger, Chi Wei naturally designed the drawings and then forged according to the drawings. But when he saw the design of this drawing, he couldn't help but sigh softly: "You drew this?"

"Of course, although it is crudely made, you can surely tell that this is a case that can be pulled. It's made up of tiny traps that can be easily opened from the inside, but from the outside you have to press the button to open them...... "Qingkong thought that he didn't understand it, so he explained.

Chi Wei took the drawings and followed Qingkong's explanation one by one, and the old man's face couldn't help but tremble, "Perfect...... It's perfect, Master Qingkong, you really should be a designer. ”

"What's the ...... I usually like some mechanical things, and they are all drawn blindly. Qingkong smiled embarrassedly when he heard Chi Wei's praise, completely losing the ruthlessness of wanting to kill just now, and his joy and anger were really written on his face.

"But...... What did you design this box to hold? It's so big, and it's so special. Chi Wei suddenly asked.

"Pretending to be a person. ”

Qingkong blurted out, not noticing the change in Chi Wei's face at all, thinking that the fertile body should be able to fit it......

After hearing these two words, the drawings in his hand fell to the ground, and in order to hide his panic, he hurriedly bent down to pick it up, but he didn't pick it up several times.

Seeing this, Qingkong bent down to help Chiwei pick up the drawing, and looked at him suspiciously.

"I'm old, I'm old, my hands and feet are not flexible, hehe......" Chi Wei smiled stiffly, "Young Master Qing, I can help you polish the crystal jade ring, but this machine pulls the box, should you find a craftsman to do it, after all...... After all, it's not my scope of career. ”

After listening to his words, Qingkong clearly felt that Chi Wei deliberately excused himself, and when he thought of what he had just said, he realized that this old thing thought that he was going to do something bad with this box containing people.

Qingkong rolled his eyes and said in his heart: In this case, what do you think it is, then it is!

So he said in a cold tone: "It's okay to be rough, but if this matter is known to others, wouldn't it be good? ”

Chi Wei instantly hit his back in a cold sweat, and nodded hurriedly: "Yes, yes...... Please rest assured, Young Master Qing, I will keep it secret, I will keep it secret......"

Qingkong's face was expressionless, but his heart was happy, and he nodded and said, "I'll come and get it in a few days, don't let me down." With that, he took out a pocket full of gold coins from his bosom, threw it on the table, and turned away.

Chi Wei looked at the money bag on the table and the design of what he thought was the murder weapon in his hand, and sighed lightly.

"It seems that I can't stay in Qingyun City, after this last time, quickly find a quiet place to retire, don't live a life of fear in the last period of life. ”

After speaking, Chi Wei shook his head helplessly and walked into his forging room......
