Chapter 167: The Fear of Towers
In the No. 1 forging room of the Blacksmiths Guild, Lou Gao, who had been busy all day, fell asleep on the ground casually in the middle of the night at the third watch.
A workaholic like Lou Gao, except for the necessary socializing and dealing with the affairs of the blacksmith guild, he spends the rest of his time in the forge room tinkering with the blacksmith's things. At the same time, he also ordered that if there was no special matter, he should not bother him, and that food, clothing, and housing should be solved in the forging room.
As usual, Lou Gao at this time was lying on the ground asleep, not disgusted with the dirt on the ground at all, and occasionally turned over because of iron filings.
However, the night was long, but the dream was short. A sudden chill made the sleeping Lou Gao frown, and his two hands unconsciously groped around, trying to find something to keep out the cold.
However, after touching it for a long time, there were only cold iron tools around.
There was no way, Lou Gao had to subconsciously fold his limbs and curl up together to keep warm, he was already wide and fat, and now he looked more like a ball of meat, and his teeth kept biting up and down.
"It's so cold, how can it be so cold!"
Finally, as the indoor temperature gets lower and lower, even if there is more fat, the height of the building cannot withstand the invasion of the cold.
Lou Gao's sleepy eyes opened dimly, because there was only one window in this huge forging room, the light collection was extremely poor, and the eyes had not fully focused when he just woke up, so Lou Gao had not yet noticed the strangeness of the room.
"Ah~~, why is it so cold today?"
While yawning, Lou Gao tried to stand up with his arms on the ground to get a quilt and go back to sleep, but the moment his hands touched the ground, he suddenly felt that something was wrong.
Smooth, cold, and completely different from the touch of the previous hand.
The increasingly stiff palm made Lou Gao feel that something was wrong, and he stood up weakly.
"Shhhh
Lou Gao, who had just stood up, didn't have time to check the surrounding situation, gasped suddenly, and then covered his waist and moaned weakly. Obviously, it was frozen by the cool air on the ground.
"Hemp, I'll never sleep on the ground again."
Just as Lou Gao scolded and walked to the door, a cold voice rang in his ears, so abrupt.
"It seems that the president of our blacksmith guild has woken up!"
When he was about to reach the height of the building near the magic light switch, he was frightened by this sudden greeting, and he instantly lost his sleepiness, and looked around with a pair of squinting eyes, trying to find the source of the sound.
"Who are you to trespass on the Blacksmiths' Guild!" Lou Gao asked in a fierce voice, but the hands that had nowhere to put showed that his heart was not as calm as it seemed.
"Hehehe! Trespassing? I walked in openly in front of the guards at the door, so why did I trespass! ”
The arrogant voice sounded again from all directions, no matter how high the building looked, he couldn't find the trace, and his heart sank suddenly. An existence that can make him, a soul saint, undetectable by his spiritual power, must be at least at the same level as him, or above Contra.
Thinking of this, Lou Gao's nervous palms sweated. He has always kept his duty in this Gengxin City, and he has never extended his hand to other forces, and he doesn't know who he has inadvertently offended.
Looking around cautiously, Lou Gao made a big salute and said respectfully: "Dare to ask Your Excellency's honorable name, why are you here?" ”
"You don't need to know the name or anything, as for why you're here, of course it's to send you on your way!"
Sure enough, someone came to kill him, or it would be difficult to explain why this person came here in the middle of the night.
Lou Gao clenched his fists, furious, he didn't know who to provoke would be killed, he was really aggrieved. Now he can't run even if he wants to, because when he built this forging room, in order to prevent the leakage of secrets, he deliberately left only one window for the craftsman, and the only door was also covered with complicated mechanical locks, and now he is pitting himself. I knew that I would have set up some mechanisms.
Oh, and this one.
Lou Gao seemed to think of something, and a smug smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, so he deliberately pretended to be unwilling and said: "Your Excellency, can you tell me who I have offended, so that I can die and understand!" ”
As he spoke, Lou Gao tiptoed to the table beside him, not daring to make a sound for anyone to notice.
Bai Yifei, who was standing in the shadows, saw all this clearly, and did not open his mouth, facing Lou Gao's weakness, he said lightly: "Is President Lou Gao a noble person who forgets things, you have caused me a lot of trouble in the past month." First I sent people to supervise my territory, and I thought that by killing these people, you would be able to stop something. Who would have thought that you were not so bold as to instigate the merchants of Gengxin City to cut off my iron ore and energy crystal, if you don't die, you will die! ”
Lou Gao, who had already walked to the table, suddenly realized and said, "It turns out that you are the group of mysterious people who sneaked into Gengxin City a few days ago!" ”
Before, after learning that all the "tongues" he sent were killed, he was very angry. He thought, "If the light doesn't work, the dark will come."
So he specially summoned his subordinates and asked them to go down and not to sell the iron ore and energy spars in the city to these people, but he wanted to see who dared to oppose him in this Gengxin City.
At this time, Lou Gao realized that he had offended these people by dying first, so they sent someone to kill him.
It's just that now, it is still unknown who will kill the deer!
Standing so close, Lou Gao could already see the button under the table. It was only at the moment of the emergency that he remembered that he had deliberately left a button, as long as it was pressed, people in various offices of the Blacksmith Guild could hear it, and then it only took a moment to support it and someone would come to save him.
Thinking of this, Lou Gao secretly boasted that he was prescient, and he had to keep an eye on it.
Lou Gao said gloomily: "Originally, you had the opportunity to kill me, but unfortunately, you said too much!" With that, the fan-like thug pressed the switch.
An inexplicable smile appeared at the corner of Bai Yifei's mouth hiding in the dark, his left hand was raised lightly, and the tight ice began to spread upward from the table leg, instantly freezing the table along with the left arm of the building.
Lou Gao, who was still triumphant in the previous second, immediately changed his face, and he felt that his arm could not move at all, and no matter how his right hand hit, he could not break free from the restraint.
"You should be glad that Ben Hou only used less than half of his strength just now. You know, your behavior just now is no different from a clown in Ben Hou's eyes, and Ben Hou had better not play these tricks! ”
Ben Hou!
Lou Gao keenly caught these two words from Bai Yifei's words, the person who came called himself Ben Hou, and he was also good at using the ability of ice, thinking about it, there was only one person in this Douluo Continent who was so good.
"You... You are! Seeing that he had been recognized, Bai Yifei slowly walked out of the shadows, and after seeing this person clearly with the help of the faint moonlight outside the window, Lou Gao's heart suddenly sank to the bottom.
"What, I was surprised to see Ben Hou?"
