Chapter 225: Respect for the life and death of others
Without spending a single soldier, Qian Yuelong took down the entire Gengxin City, as well as a large number of blacksmith human resources.
Lou Gao sent away Qian Yuelong and Hu Liena, stopped in front of the gate of the Blacksmith Association, which was more than thirty meters high, and stood on the ground floor and looked up, as if to imprint it deeply in his mind.
"Teacher?"
Disciple Silong's puzzled voice came from the side.
Lou Gao retracted his gaze and said to his apprentice: "Silong, gather all the senior blacksmiths in the Blacksmith Association, I have something to announce." β
Silong nodded, and hurriedly went to shake people.
Other members of the association who knew about the talks between Lou Gao and the Martial Spirit Empire, who were also waiting for the results of the talks, rushed to the conference room enthusiastically.
Lou Gao solemnly announced the content of the agreement he signed with Qian Yuelong.
After hearing that the Wuhun Empire would treat every blacksmith of the Blacksmith Association fairly in the future, and that the iron hooves of the army would not step on Gengxin City, the faces of the members of the Blacksmith Association present all showed joy and longing for the future after the catastrophe.
On the Douluo Continent today, except for Gengxin City, everywhere else, the blacksmith is the lowest existence, everyone can step on it, and they have no status like civilians.
To be honest, they don't have an idea of which empire will rule Gengxin City, because their opinions don't matter to those imperial nobles at all, and their own lives are of no value to them.
Respect is mutual.
The Empire did not recognize them, and they had no intention of identifying with the Star Luo Empire in their hearts. It's just that they can't bear this, and they have changed their countries several times before and after, the metal capital that carries many memories of their ancestors, and the city of Gengxin, which their blacksmiths are proud of.
They really didn't expect that the Holy Maiden of the Martial Spirit Empire would be willing to accept and respect them as blacksmiths.
Even if they haven't made a good result, the other party is willing to give trust and opportunities first.
Many people's hearts are slightly moved, and they feel that changing their country is actually not a bad thing.
Lou Gao took in the excited appearance of the old members, and when everyone was happy, he announced the second thing-
"Ahem, there's a second thing."
Lou Gao coughed twice and cleared his throat, drawing everyone's attention to him.
"The second thing is that I have decided to pass on the president of the Blacksmith Association to my eldest disciple Silong from today. Later I will write a letter of appointment, and I will leave my works to the four of you brothers. In the future, I will be gone, and you brothers will work together to run the association well. β
"Teacher?!"
Silong's eyes widened in astonishment, and his expression was flustered.
"W-how?"
Lou Gao looked at the disciple who was already taller and stronger than him, a touch of relief appeared in his eyes, and his thick palm full of thick calluses patted Silong's shoulder, and said with relief: "Why can't you do it?" I brought you up kid. I have been in the Blacksmiths Association for so many years, and I am extremely familiar with the process and can afford to take on the role of president. β
"I am relieved that the future of the Blacksmiths Guild is in the hands of you young people."
Silong heard something else from his teacher's tone.
He pressed Lou Gao's withdrawn hand and asked nervously, "Teacher, are you leaving?" Why? β
Silong was puzzled and sad.
Everyone else looked at their old president quietly.
Lou Gao's eyes flashed with reminiscence: "In the Tang Sect, one of the sect forces hostile to the Martial Spirit Empire, there is my dear old friend Titan. Even if he is no longer the vice president of the Blacksmiths' Guild, he will always be my best friend. β
"After all these years, I'm such an old friend."
"He's in a predicament right now, and I can't sit idly by and leave it alone. This time, I'll let me be willful, take the burden off my shoulders, and fight side by side with my old friend as a tall person. β
Lou Gao looked deeply at his eldest disciple, who was already able to take charge on his own.
A sour heat welled up in his eyes, Silong looked at the building that had made up his mind, opened his mouth, and all the persuasions came to his mouth, but he couldn't say anything.
Lou Gao used a little skill, broke free from Silong's hands, and finally patted him on the shoulder vigorously, and went to prepare for the handover work.
The next day, in the farewell of many members of the Blacksmith Guild, the well-packed building took steady steps out of this city of memories protected by gray and white walls.
Silong looked at the back that was about to disappear from view, and shouted with red eyes.
"Teacherββ! Take care all the way! β
Lou Gao didn't look back, and raised his hand with his back to everyone and waved, indicating that he knew.
The places he walked through seemed to have been soaked in water, and there were a few places where a little bit of soil was slightly deeper.
The Dark Soul Guard, who was monitoring Gengxin City, wrote a report on the changes in the Blacksmith Guild and submitted it to Qianyuelong.
"Holy Maiden, Lou Gao's move is clearly a betrayal of the Entente, should we?"
The subordinate made a motion to wipe his neck.
Qian Yuelong shook her head and put down the report, "No need. Lou Gao has handed over all the formalities, stepped down as president, and handed over full authority to his eldest disciple Silong. The building is left in the name of an individual. Those who have quit the association are not betrayed. The entente between our Martial Spirit Empire and the Blacksmith Guild is still numbered. β
The subordinates were still not at ease: "But the Holy Maiden, that Lou Gao clearly knows that when he leaves, he will join the enemy camp of our Martial Spirit Empire, and he will have a relationship with us after each other." Even if he steps down, the current president is still his disciple, in case the blacksmith guild has a grudge."
"Do you think Lou Gao is the kind of villain with a set on the surface and a set behind it?"
Qian Yuelong asked him rhetorically.
The subordinate thought about the personal information of Lou Gao collected and shook his head: "No." β
Qianyue Long bowed her head: "That's not it." He has shown us that all of the above actions are of his own volition, so we will return with the same courtesy and respect for his personal life and death. Since Lou Gao is a person who values love and righteousness, even if the disciples he brought out are not particularly affectionate, they are also rational people, and they can be implemented as usual, and Lou Gao doesn't have to worry about staying or staying, and he will be regarded as a person without him in the future. β
Subordinates should bow their heads.
"By the way, I heard that Her Majesty the Pope sent two teams of elite knights a few days ago, and the number is only about fifty, why is this?"
She has been concentrating on the fifth test of the God-given examination lately.
The fifth exam is closely related to her sister Qianrenxue, she is thinking about the long term, and she doesn't care much about Bibi Dong's movements.
The subordinate understood, and explained 1510: "Back to the Holy Maiden, those two teams of knights are scouts sent by His Majesty to the Star Dou Great Forest. β
"Star Dou Great Forest?"
A place name that has not been seen for a long time and is familiar.
Qian Yuelong thought for a moment, and then thought of Xiao Wu's two 100,000-year-old soul beast brothers, the King of the Forest Titan Giant Ape and the Forest Emperor Azure Bull Python.
Don't
"In the center of the Star Dou Great Forest are two 100,000-year-old soul beasts, and Her Majesty the Empress is ready to hunt them."
