Chapter 158: The Gambling Contract
Walking into the Forge Guild, Jian Chen was stunned by the layout inside, which was magnificent, and all kinds of jewels were decorated in the hall as if they didn't need money.
There are not many people in the hall, everyone is busy with their own things, and there is a small trading area on the left, where many people are picking treasures.
Jian Chen walked towards a place similar to an information office, and asked the people inside, "How to participate in the forging master assessment?" ”
The staff member put down what he was doing, raised his head, and looked at Jian Chen. "You're not kidding me, sir." The woman looked at Jian Chen and asked, Jian Chen, no matter how he looked at it, he was only in his teens, how could it be that he was going to participate in the forging master assessment.
"Do you think I'm joking?" Jian Chen's eyes looked at the woman in front of him, she looked pretty good, and she was very comfortable to look at, but Jian Chen was not the kind of man who relied on his lower body to think, he put his momentum slightly. In the matter just now, Jian Chen deeply realized a truth, he can't be too low-key when necessary, otherwise it will be difficult to think about these things.
As soon as Jian Chen's momentum was released, the smile on the woman's face suddenly stared, and she looked at Jian Chen's face incredulously. The momentum of that moment just now told me that the young man in front of him was at least close to the strength of a swordsman, and from this point of view, this young man would at least not be bored enough to joke with himself.
"Your side, please." The woman's face was a little more respectful, she was working here not because of her strength, but because she looked good, but those blacksmiths were far from being something she could offend.
The girl took Jian Chen to another counter, took out a piece of paper with a slight energy fluctuation from it, lifted a pen in her right hand, and asked Jian Chen with a smile: "Sir, your name, age, mentor, and guild need to record these data, and I will register it for you." ”
"Sword dust, fifteen, mentor sword casting new." Jian Chen didn't think too much about it, and directly reported the real information, long before he came, Jian Zhuxin told him that the news of the three major guilds on the continent was extremely confidential, and besides, how did he first arrive, and it was useless for others to leak their own information.
"Fifteen?" Hearing Jian Chen's age, the young woman's pen paused slightly, obviously frightened by Jian Chen's age, which was even younger than she guessed, if Jian Chen really succeeded, then Jian Chen would definitely be the youngest forging master in Youchi City, and his future was limitless.
"Fifteen. What's wrong? Jian Chen asked, there is still an age requirement for this assessment.
"No, no problem, it's just that you're too young to imagine coming to the forging master assessment at such a young age." The girl hurriedly replied, for fear that Jian Chen had misunderstood.
The girl filled in some more information before handing the form to Jian Chen, and said to Jian Chen: "Okay sir, today is the right time for the assessment, I'll take you to the place where the assessment is." ”
Jian Chen looked at the form in his hand and nodded, and said to the woman: "You call me Jian Chen, Mr. sounds weird." ”
Hearing this, the girl paused for a moment and whispered, "My name is Swift." "It's so small that it's almost inaudible.
A moment later, Swift came to a stop in front of a gate with Sword Dust, guarded by several big men outside the gate. Swift said to the inside, "Elder Horton, there is another person who will participate in the assessment today. Has the assessment started now? ”
"No, you let him in." An old man's voice came out from inside, Jian Chen was slightly shocked, the old man's voice was extremely long, definitely not something that ordinary people could achieve, at least a great martial artist, it seemed that this forging master guild was really Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, so easy to meet a great martial artist.
"Jian Chen, you can go in, remember to be respectful in front of the elders." Swift said to Jian Chen.
"Thank you, Swift." After saying this, Jian Chen walked in, and the swift stood there in a daze.
The old man's gaze swept over Jian Chen's body and nodded, "The strength is not bad, young man, but it is not conducive to the breakthrough of the martial arts to be double-minded so early." Give me your form. ”
Jian Chen handed the form to Elder Horton, scanned it, and found that there were many people participating in the assessment, and Hongying and He Lin were among them, and Ruolin's little girl was on the side. More than a dozen forging tables in the center are placed in an orderly manner, the fire in the furnace is burning, and the whole hall is very hot.
Hongying looked at Jian Chen with a murderous gaze, and He Lin was full of disdain, he didn't believe that this poor boy could pass the assessment. And Ruolin on the side secretly glanced at Jian Chen, and then refueled Hongying.
"Oh, you're only fifteen?" Elder Horton took the form of sword dust and glanced at it casually, but he was immediately stunned, this young man was so young.
"Hmm." Jian Chen nodded.
Who cultivated this demon, if he really passed the assessment, it would definitely be a thing that shocked the guild, I hope he didn't come here to play around.
"You go to the Ninth Forge." Elder Horton gestured to a forgey that was empty.
Jian Chen's walk towards the forging table, and Na He Lin was on Jian Chen's left hand side.
"Boy, I didn't expect you to really dare to come in." He Lin looked at Jian Chen with disdain.
Jian Chen looked at He Lin, smiled slightly, and didn't pay attention to him, like this kind of person with such a strong sense of self-superiority, Jian Chen didn't bother to pay attention, otherwise there would be constant trouble.
"Boy, did you hear me talking to you?" He Lin saw that Jian Chen didn't answer him, and he actually laughed, and suddenly felt angry in his heart, Jian Chen's laughter was ridicule in his opinion, a country boy actually dared to laugh at himself.
"Boy, I'm going to make a bet with you. Do you dare? A flash of inspiration flashed in He Lin's mind, and a good idea suddenly came to mind to make Jian Chen lose face in front of Ruolin.
"Oh, how are you going to bet?" Jian Chen's eyebrows raised, and asked He Lin, this He Lin is definitely a rich man, it is indeed good to earn some extra money by himself, his father is dead when he goes out, and he doesn't have much money for himself, if he wants to forge a weapon for his own use, it is not enough to rely on the flame stone last time.
"Let's bet on who forged the better weapon this time." He Lin was overjoyed when he saw that this Jian Chen was actually willing to gamble with himself, Wait a minute, I will definitely let you cry out.
"Okay, what about the bets?" Jian Chen's ink was not inked, and he agreed quite happily.
"If you lose, you will get me out of Youchi City, and don't let me in for the rest of your life. In addition, scolding yourself in front of everyone is not a thing. He Lin thought for a while and said, in fact, the bet is not very important to him, what he wants is that Jian Chen has no face.
"No problem, how about giving me 10,000 taels if you lose? As for scolding myself, I don't have to be kind. Jian Chen's mouthful should be inherited. Jian Chen was still quite confident in his forging.
10,000 taels, He Lin thought about it, and then nodded, he would never be able to take out 10,000 taels, but how could he lose.
"Elder, I have something I want you to testify about." Herrin said to Horton.
Horton was a little puzzled, what was his grandson going to do, and immediately asked, "What's the matter?" ”
"I've made a bet with this brother to see who will wait for the better weapon to be forged, and the bet has already been set." He Lin made the bet between the two clear, for fear that Jian Chen would take advantage of the loopholes.
"This is a guild assessment!" Horton obviously disagrees with Herring's nonsense, which shows that he is really bullying others to be young.
"Wait, Helin, I'll testify for you." An old man walked in.
Hearing the old man's voice, Ruolin ran up happily and said with a coquettish smile: "Grandpa, why are you here?" ”
