In the meeting room, Dowling and the city lord sat facing each other, and both of them tacitly agreed not to mention what had happened before.

"Let's talk about how we can work together." The city lord asked calmly.

"I don't need to say anything more about my strength, I can promise to help you resist them when the Iron Gear Gang invades you, and similarly, if I need you to take the initiative to attack, you don't hesitate." Dowling said slowly.

"Iron Melting County is not a belligerent city-state, our overall strength lies in defense, and if we take the initiative to attack, we will expose a lot of shortcomings." The lord of the city is embarrassed.

"You must know that offense is the best defense, how many gangs have been annexed by the Iron Gear Gang over the years, their ambitions are clear, even the Guardian Regiment cannot be spared, can you be sure that the Iron Melting County Wall will definitely be able to resist?" Dowling's tone was still flat.

The lord of the castle was silent......

"With the Leg of the Fire God Zhurong, we can open the strongest defense of the Iron Molten County City, and that is the real defense system."

Dowling hesitated for a moment, but still took out the hammer leg of the fire god Zhurong and put it on the table.

"I can give you back this, but you have to sign a contract with me, I can't trust you." Dowling said as he pressed his hand on his leg.

"Yes, the two of us will sign a contract..."The city lord said as he looked at the legs of the fire god Zhu Rong.

"No, I'm going to make a deal with the chief forger." Dowling shook his head.

The city lord was puzzled: "The chief forging master has not appeared for decades, because ...... Because the two Arcana Treasures were thrown into the Forge of the Earth's Core by the previous Forge Master, the Iron Forge County has never elected a Chief Forge since then. ”

"What do you mean?" Dowling was puzzled.

"The Hammer of the Vulcan Zhurong is the treasure of the Iron Melting County, and it is also the key to electing the chief forger, only a good enough blacksmith can afford to hold the hammer of the fire god Zhurong, which is why there is no chief forger." The castle lord explained.

"Then why can I pick up the Hammer of the Fire God Zhurong?" Dowling said as he took out the hammer of the fire god Zhu Rong and spun it in his hand a few times.

"That's what I don't understand, and to be honest, I don't know why." The city lord shook his head.

"As a sign of my determination to cooperate, I have passed the test you mentioned, and in order to show my sincerity, I can return the leg of the fire god Zhu Rong to you first, but I will need to use this hammer for a while." Dowling said as he took the Hammer of the Fire God Zhurong back into the ring.

The city lord took a deep breath and nodded, even if he didn't want to, he couldn't do anything about the strength that Dao Lin had shown.

"Then let's sign a contract." Dowling said as he held out his hand.

The city lord sighed and extended his hand as well.

The two of them clasped their hands together and recited an oath in their hearts at the same time, and after a while, the two of them only felt that a force in the dark enveloped the two of them and made a contract!

"Don't worry, when you think there are good enough candidates, I will naturally return the hammer of the fire god Zhurong." Dowling said with a smile.

The city lord nodded and didn't say anything, this is already the best ending.

"By the way, there's one thing I want to ask you, why are you threatened not to ask the Empire for help, aren't you also one of them?" Dowling asked puzzled, this question had been in his mind for a long time.

"Because... We are a foreign race, unlike other foreign races, we have been co-opted, but we cannot completely obey the orders of the Sun Empire, otherwise we will be quickly infiltrated and assimilated, and then our artisan clan will completely cease to exist. ”

Dowling walked out of the meeting room, and the Thunder Flash Heavenly King and others immediately surrounded him.

"How? Did they say yes? The Thunderbolt Heavenly King asked.

"Yes, I have already signed a contract with the city lord, and I believe they will not go back on it." Dowling nodded and said.

Ade, who was standing in the distance, also walked over at this time.

"Did you go through the heart fire to be in harmony with the flesh and spirit?" Ade asked in a low voice.

"What? Do you want to try it too? Dowling turned around, and the corners of his mouth curled.

"I don't have that kind of courage...," Andrew said honestly.

"I advise you not to try it either, because you are not me." Dowling said with a smile.

"Can I try the Vulcan Zhurong's Hammer?" Ade nodded and continued to ask.

Dao Lin was stunned when he heard this, and then understood what he meant, and the light in his hand flashed, and the hammer of the fiery fire god Zhu Rong appeared in his hand.

Dowling gently placed the hammer on the ground and stepped back.

Ade took a deep breath and reached out to grasp the handle of the hammer with a very reverent expression, but the hammer did not move at all, and then the muscles of his right arm suddenly bulged, and he gritted his teeth hard, but the hammer still could not be lifted a bit.

"No...... If I could, I picked it up the first time, and it seems that I don't deserve to be the chief forger. Ade let go of the hammer handle and sighed softly, saying with a bitter face.

Dowling patted him on the shoulder, this red-armored craftsman was extraordinary, and being able to fight with the Thunder Lightning Heavenly King had already explained a lot.

"Don't be discouraged, not being able to hold it doesn't mean anything to you, it's just that fate doesn't matter." At the door of the living room, the city lord slowly pushed his wheelchair out and comforted him.

Hearing this, Ade nodded and looked at the city lord with a grateful expression.

"Okay, I'm bothered, I'm leaving, my brother is still waiting for me to go back to save him, and when I come back from Xiling Mountain, it's time to attack." Dowling put the hammer away and looked at the city lord.

The city lord nodded, watching Dowling and the others walk downward.

"City Lord, this matter ......" Ade stopped when he wanted to speak.

"He's better than the man, and he's better suited to be friends." The city lord patted the wheelchair handle gently.

"And what if that person comes again?" Ade asked.

"Reject him!" The castle lord said and lowered his gaze to the sky in the distance.

The giant gate slowly rose, and Dao Lin rode out on a white horse, followed by the Thunder Flash Heavenly King riding a black horse and the old donkey head riding a gray donkey, Lan Zou and Lan Mian returned to the soul locking talisman array.

"Let's go, go straight to Xiling Mountain......" Dao Lin shouted, and rushed out.

The Thunderbolt Heavenly King and the old donkey looked at each other with a smile and followed.

After leaving Tierong County, the three of them headed west, and after getting on the main road, they turned south.

"Master, we've been delayed here for a while, and the rest of the journey may be a little tighter." Dowling waited until the Thunder Lightning Heavenly King caught up and said softly.

"Well, it should be in time, shorten the break, and you should be able to catch up." The Thunderbolt Heavenly King nodded and replied.

"Are you really going to help them solve that Iron Gear problem?" The Thunderbolt Heavenly King asked suddenly.

"I asked Chairman Zhao about the soul carrier before, and he said that this thing is not easy to get, even he has to find it slowly..."

"As long as you can have a good relationship with this group of craftsmen, and they will build the soul carrier, you will definitely get twice the result with half the effort, not only that, but the specifications are the same, and it looks more comfortable."

"I've heard of this iron stall, the strength is very strong, although it is not as wide as the Resurrection Society, but it is also the master of stomping and shaking three times in the west of the scorching sun!" On the other side, the old donkey rode up on a gray donkey and said.

"Whoever he is, if he wants to be a stumbling block in my plan, I'm going to crush him!"
