Chapter 245 [Just Take It!] (Two in One)

(2-in-1, 7,000 words chapter!)

"These 'real Augustinians', after all, are descendants of the orthodox royal family of the Empire, have a long history, and have inexplicable and inseparable relationships with the aristocracy of the Empire. You know, the royal family and the aristocracy of any era are the marriage of countless generations, and they are inextricably linked. The same is true of these 'real Augustinians', and because they are also descendants of the royal blood of the Roland Empire, they have always been unable to suppress them too much, and with the preferential treatment strategy of the past hundred years, they already have a lot of power. Although on the bright side, there do not seem to be any generals in the army and important ministers of the empire, but among the middle-level officials and the army, there are some invisible hidden forces and influences.

Coupled with the current emperor, my nephew has always refused to establish a prince, and there has been a lot of dissatisfaction and anxiety in the empire.

Even in recent years, some people have been unable to help but privately accuse the emperor of being too selfish and refusing to establish a prince because he refused to 'return' the throne to these real Augustinians. ”

"So, do you think that these assassinations of the emperor are suspected of the involvement of these 'real Augustinians'?"

"Not a suspicion, I'm almost certain of that. Du smiled bitterly, her eyes flashed: "Even I think that even the emperor himself should understand this." It's just that I don't know why he hasn't moved until now, but he has just waved the big stick of suppression and landed on the church, but he has ignored these 'Augustine' who are eyeing and secretly causing trouble. ”

Chen Daolin's heart suddenly moved: "Could it be ...... This mobilization of the imperial capital's army may be the emperor's preparation for ......"

"I don't know. Du smiled bitterly: "The emperor didn't ask my opinion on these things, obviously." He doesn't want our tulip family to get involved. ”

Du Weiwei also has his own difficulties.

The Tulip family is already too strong in the Roland Empire, too famous, and too widespread.

And the blood relationship between the Tulip family and the royal family is placed here.

Since Du Wei's time, the family has had ancestral teachings, and in the future, the descendants of the Tulip family are not allowed to participate in the affairs of the royal family.

This is because, in the eyes of the world, in fact, the complaints of those "real Augustinians" that the Tulip family took the throne of the Augustinian family, this kind of statement is actually very marketable among the people.

It's just because the tulip family is doing too well. Du Wei's prestige is too high, the Tulip family's contribution to the empire is too great, and the merits are too heavy, so everyone actually has no objection to this kind of "seizing" the throne. Anyway, the Augustinian family is no longer good. It's not bad to change the blood of the Tulip family to be the emperor.

But since the Tulip family has taken such a big advantage, if the future generations want to make the family's wealth and prosperity longer, it is best to stand away from the matter of the throne dispute and not get closer.

After all, you have already gained great benefits, and if you are involved in the ownership of the throne again and again, you will inevitably be too hated.

"So. Several generations of emperors have changed, and the Tulip family will never intervene in the battle for the crown prince or even the heir, maintaining a detached role. The ancestors have training. The Tulip family's wealth has reached the peak of what a retainer can have, so there is no need to get involved in these things anymore. It is enough for us to be the watchmen and protectors of this empire. ”

At this point, the two looked at each other for a moment and sighed at the same time.

Chen Daolin can deeply understand Du Weiwei's heavy responsibility and helplessness. As the leader of a new generation of the Tulip family. She is tasked with continuing to build on her family's strength, while remaining neutral. The family can't be involved in these things.

"Emotionally, of course, I want the throne to remain in the hands of the current royal family. After all, they are related to our tulip family. But the emperor has been slow to appoint a prince, and his younger brother, our Prince Xiaoyao, has always shown that he is very tired of the throne, so ...... I fear that in the end, the emperor will be under pressure and will have no choice but to ......"

These things, these things, these troubles, Du Weiwei will never talk to people on weekdays.

Moreover, with her status and status, there are actually no bosom friends around her who can sit and talk with her. She couldn't possibly be friends with the older generation. And the younger generation, few people can enter her eyes, and in terms of status, she is the leader of the Tulip family, and among the young people of the contemporary empire, few are qualified to be friends with her.

Whether it's Goth, Panin, or that Rose, when they see Du Weiwei, they all want to kneel down and salute.

Du Weiwei felt all the burdens and pressures in his heart, but at this moment, he confided in Chen Daolin, an outsider.

When these words came out, Du Weiwei himself was a little surprised in his heart, and he didn't know why he could let go of his guard so much in front of this guy.

Probably, it was because of the unhindered communication and conversation between the two in those days in the frozen forest, which made her truly recognize the talent of this mysterious young man in her heart, and regarded him as a friend who could be equal to herself.

"......" Chen Daolin was silent for a while, and then said with a smile: "According to what you say, I'm afraid there will be a big chaos in the imperial capital." But...... None of this has much to do with me. Why do you want to pull me out of the imperial capital and take me to the northwest?"

"I ...... There is always some bad premonition. Du sighed slightly.

When Chen Daolin heard this, he chuckled in his heart!

He couldn't help but think of the feeling of uneasiness that had been growing in his heart all these days.

"Your mind...... I understand. Chen Daolin looked solemn, looked at Du Weiwei, and took a deep breath: "Thank you very much for the importance you attach to me, and I am also grateful for your concern for me." But, unfortunately, I still have to say sorry to you - I have received your wishes, but I cannot go to the northwest with you at this time. ”

When Chen Daolin said this, Du Weiwei's face showed a deep look of disappointment.

She frowned and looked at Chen Daolin: "You...... You can't let go of the imperial capital?"

“...... Not exactly. Chen Daolin scratched the back of his head.

"Do you like making money so much?" Du Wei looked at Chen Daolin: "What kind of 'Wushuang Fang' did you and that guy Anguluo make." I am confident that with your talent and Angullo's financial resources, a combination like yours will make a difference. But...... You should understand that in the Roland Empire, such a thing as wealth is not really important......

"I know. I understand it too. And...... Whether you believe it or not, I am not short of money. Chen Daolin smiled, but his tone was complicated: "I have some reasons of my own, so I can't go to the northwest with you." If I wanted to stay out of it, I would have stayed in the province of Neuhoven in the East China Sea long ago. ”

"......" Du frowned slightly and looked at Chen Daolin, her bright eyes revealing deep doubts.

"I ...... There are their own reasons. Chen Daolin's tone was apologetic.

Du Weiwei's face changed suddenly, and she came closer. Almost standing in front of Chen Daolin, at such a close distance, her eyes seemed to be close at hand, staring deeply at Chen Daolin: "Darling...... Could you please answer me honestly...... Will you do anything dangerous to this empire in the future?"

"............" Chen Daolin was silent for a while. Then he shook his head very seriously: "No!"

"......" Du Wei seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, but she still stared at Chen Daolin, hesitated slightly, but the next sentence was extremely firm: "I hope you won't! Because until now, I can't really see you clearly, and I don't know where you came from." What you're after. I only hope that in the future...... We will not be enemies!"

Chen Daolin was silent for a while, and then suddenly smiled: "Don't worry, I don't want to be your enemy." There are enemies like you. I'm afraid I won't even be able to sleep. ”

......

Du Weiwei left.

This woman came very suddenly, and she left in a hurry.

Looking at Du Weiwei's departing back, Chen Daolin sighed and said in a low voice: "I will go to the northwest." But then in the future, not ...... Right now. ”

......

Gold Street.

This is not a wide street behind the Knight Guild. In the imperial capital, it is very famous. Even throughout the empire, the street was famous.

Almost everyone who practiced martial arts knew that there was a street in the Imperial Empire where the best blacksmiths and swordsmiths from all over the empire gathered, where they could find the finest equipment, the sharpest swords, and the strongest shields and armor.

And...... The first craftsman of the empire: Master Kang.

Because of the above reasons, the gold street has always been very prosperous, and countless warriors who came to the imperial capital to look for opportunities and hope to get ahead will come to this street, hoping to find a sharp weapon of their own.

The nobles also frequented the area, hoping to buy a good sword or armor. There is also the hope of trying their luck here, hoping to find a job as a blacksmith......

There is also often some interesting news coming out of the gold street.

For example, a new set of armor has been introduced in a weapon shop, a famous swordsmith has created a sharp sword, and so on......

And in recent days, the biggest piece of news on the gold street is that a historic weapons shop on the gold street has changed hands.

There is a strange rule on the gold street - this rule has only been formed since Master Kang settled here.

Gold Street is an east-west street, not wide, and can barely accommodate two horse-drawn carriages passing side by side.

The street follows a canal in the Imperial Capital. The aqueduct is living water, which is drawn from the Lancang Canal. A lot of water is needed to forge a sword, because with an abundant water source, the weapon shops and ironcraft workshops here can survive.

At the westernmost end of the street, at the end of the canal, is Master Kang's shop, Pù, located in the innermost part of the Golden Street, which is arguably the worst part of the terrain.

However, the rule in Gold Street is that the blacksmith shop at the east intersection is often the worst and lowest grade on the whole street.

The further inside, the closer the weapon shop is to Master Kang, the brighter the signboard, the greater the fame, and the better and more expensive the things.

There is no doubt that the person at the top of the street is Master Kang.

And the only thing that is for Master Kang is next door to the first master craftsman of the empire.

Just a few days ago, the shop next door to Master Kang changed hands.

This came as a surprise to many.

Because it is recognized that the first of the gold street is Master Kang, then he is next door. It is recognized as the second gold street.

The second in the gold street can be said to be the second in the imperial capital, and even exaggeratedly, the second in the entire empire!

The business of this shop pù has always been very good, and the things it creates are also extremely popular, because Master Kang has rarely made his own tools in recent years, and the production is small, and the sales volume will naturally not be high.

However, it was such a thriving shop, which suddenly changed hands. And there was no wind beforehand. Almost overnight, the signboard was changed, the business was closed, and the original owner and swordsmith all quietly left. No news was heard.

However, when the new sign of the store was put out, the doubts in people's hearts were immediately relieved.

"Wushuang Fang".

It's a strange name, but that's not the point. The key is that under the signboard of this "Wushuang Fang", there is a badge that everyone is very familiar with.

Pompeii Chamber of Commerce!

As the third-ranked super chamber of commerce in the Roland Empire, and the supplier of Roland Imperial Equipment, it can be said that it is a giant predator in the production of armaments and weapons. Entering the gold street, there should naturally be a place. As soon as he came, he snatched the second seat under Master Kang, and everyone had nothing to say.

After Wushuangfang took possession of the shop, it immediately closed its doors. Construction and expansion began inside.

Every day, a tireless stream of craftsmen come and go, attracting many people's side eyes.

Everyone is speculating about when this Musou Fang will open, and after it opens. What changes will it bring to the pattern of the gold street?

There is even speculation that as the empire's number one supplier of ordnance weapons. Will the high-profile entry of the Pompeii Chamber of Commerce impact Master Kang's No. 1 gold signboard in the industry......

After all, although the gold street is famous, it has always taken the high-quality route and does not manufacture on a large scale. The entry of predators like the Pompeii Chamber of Commerce seems to be intended to enter this "high-end boutique market......

......

On this morning, all the shops on the gold street had not yet opened—weapons shops usually opened late.

Some of the guys were still busy sweeping the street in front of their houses, scrubbing the door panels. The blacksmith's apprentices are still making stoves. Smoke and flames have just come out of the chimneys behind the shops on the street......

A delicate and small carriage had quietly driven into the gold street, from the east to the west.

It didn't stop all the way until it reached the end of the gold street.

This carriage attracted the attention of many people, because ...... It finally stopped in front of Master Kang's house.

Driving the car was a stout man, with a sense of power and capability. The guys in the weapons shop on the gold street are all insiders, and it can be seen at a glance that the driver who drives the car is definitely a martial arts master!

The martial arts master parked the carriage and jumped down, carefully opened the car door, and whispered, "It's here." ”

Immediately, I saw a young man slowly walking in the car.

This young man is slender and looks like a gentleman, as if he is a child of that kind of family. Although his demeanor is leisurely and calm, his appearance is very ordinary.

He was not dressed in a very ornate outfit, just a simple robe, but it was cut to fit perfectly, and he looked very personable.

Although Master Kang's home is recognized as the "first" on the gold street, in fact, the workshop of the first master craftsman of the empire is not large.

Just a very small door, not a wide door.

The carriage was impartial, and it just blocked the gate.

The young man stretched, looked up at the sign, and couldn't help but smile.

"Sure enough, it's a bit of the momentum of the first craftsman. ”

The sign on the shop pù is simple, just one word:

"Kang".

This young man is undoubtedly Chen Daolin.

"Knock on the door. ”

Chen Daolin glanced at Hook.

Hook smiled, walked over, and slapped the closed door a few times.

In fact, someone in the shop had already seen the carriage outside the door.

The people who came, especially this young man, were extraordinary, and this carriage was small but extremely delicate—the people on the gold street were all very vicious-eyed, and such a carriage, judging from the quality of its materials, was absolutely extraordinary!

The door opened, and out came a middle-aged man who looked to be in his thirties and forties.

This person is the second disciple of Master Kang, and on weekdays, things in the shop. He also presided over it. In recent years, Master Kang has not made much of his own products, and it can be said that most of the things in the store are made by him.

Chen Daolin noticed that the middle-aged man had a pair of thick and strong palms.

"May I ask what is the matter with your guests?" the middle-aged man's words were very reserved: "This store has not opened yet." ”

"I'm here to see Master Kang. Chen Daolin took a step forward.

The middle-aged man looked at Chen Daolin twice, and his tone was polite: "I'm sorry, my master is not a guest, if you want to buy something......

Chen Daolin smiled: "What I want to buy, you can't be the master." ”

The middle-aged man's face stiffened, but the city government for many years still made him smile reluctantly: "The guest said that he was smiling." My master has been ignoring the things in the shop for many years, and the things in the shop are all contemptible people's affairs, do you want to buy a sword, or do you want to ask for armor......"

Chen Daolin glanced the middle-aged man up and down, and then he smiled.

Laughed pleasantly. But when he said it, it made people smell and change color!

"I don't ask for swords, I don't buy armor...... I buy the store. Chen Daolin pointed to the door of this shop: "I want to buy your store." ”

Airplanes!!

The streets are not crowded in the morning, and they are not noisy.

Chen Daolin's words were said lightly, but it seemed to spread all over the street at once!

For a while, the people who were spying on the shops near and far in the open and secretly were in an uproar!!

Close!

Buy Master Kang's home shop pù?!

What is the way this young man came from? Dare to come to the gold street, and the exit is to buy the foundation of the first craftsman of the empire?!!

......

The middle-aged man's face had changed, but he still forcibly endured the annoyance in his heart and kept a straight face. He said in a deep voice: "Guest......, you are laughing! No transfer intended!"

Chen Daolin still smiled very easily, he looked at the middle-aged man, and sighed in disappointment: "I said, you can't do this thing." You'd better go and ask Master Kang to come out. ”

"You don't need to ask the teacher! this store will not sell the transfer!" The middle-aged man finally showed anger: "Guest, please go back!"

“...... Can you represent your teacher?" Chen Daolin squinted his eyes and smiled.

"Naturally!" the middle-aged man snorted, his face pale: "Please also pay attention to your demeanor." Leave some decency! here...... It's a gold street!"

"I know this is the Gold Street. Chen Daolin said lightly: "I also know that the first craftsman here is Master Kang, if it weren't for Master Kang's shop, even if I was invited to buy it, I wouldn't have come." ”

Looking at the middle-aged man's clenched fists, Chen Daolin didn't seem to be in a hurry.

He sighed softly, deliberately in an understated and slow tone, and said slowly: "I heard that Master Kang is amazingly talented and is the number one craftsman in the Roland Empire...... That's it, what's the first and second, these false names are not the real reason for attracting me. What really attracted me here was that I heard that Master Kang had devoted his life to the study of the art of blacksmithing, and in the past he did not hesitate to go to Mount Kilimano alone to drill dwarven caves in order to learn the craft of the dwarves, and he lived there for many years!

I also heard that he kept improving, and in order to seek a breakthrough, he went to the tribe of the elves and lived in Dayuan Lake for many years.

He did not ask about fame in his life, but truly regarded the exploration of forging skills as the highest pursuit.

This spirit is the reason why I really respect him. That's why I'm here today. ”

The middle-aged man's face changed, he put away a little anger, and looked at Chen Daolin: "Since Your Excellency knows the teacher's life so well, why are you still insulting each other so much?!"

"Am I insulting your teacher?" Chen Daolin laughed: "I'm coming to the door to give your teacher a shortcut to make his dream come true and let him realize his lifelong dream!"

"............" The middle-aged man froze, frowning and looking at Chen Daolin, trying to judge from the expression on his face whether this guy was crazy or not.

Chen Daolin raised his hand and waved it, and soon Hook came over, sent a wooden box up, and held it in front of the middle-aged man with both hands.

"Give this to your teacher. Chen Daolin smiled faintly, put his hands behind his back, and said with a leisurely smile: "Sue him, I'll wait here, wait for him to open the door and come out to welcome me in person!"

The middle-aged man's face changed! And the rest of the people who were snooping and eavesdropping in the distance all gasped!

Let Master Kang personally come out and open the door to greet him?!

What a big breath!

Even if the emperor came, a person with an arrogant temperament like Master Kang would not do this!

However, Chen Daolin doesn't seem to be finished!

He looked up at the sky and said lazily: "I don't have much time, you go in and tell your teacher, I'll just wait for him to count a hundred...... Timing from now on...... One!"

When Chen Daolin counted to ten, the middle-aged man finally had a gloomy face, hesitated, took the wooden box, turned around and went back, and slammed the door shut before leaving!

Chen Daolin stood in place, looking at the sky with his hands in his hands, his face was leisurely, and he slowly counted in his mouth: "Fifteen, sixteen, seventeen......"

Hook next to him looked a little puzzled, and said in a low voice: "Sir, this Master Kang has always been very arrogant, will he ......?"

"Rest assured, as long as he is really as obsessed with the pursuit of forging skills as the legend says, he will definitely come out. Chen Daolin's tone was very relaxed: "Twenty-one...... Twenty-two ......"

More and more people were curious in the shops near and far, and some even walked out of the shops and gathered to watch.

Many people laughed at this young man in their hearts, not knowing that the sky was high and the earth was thick. What a master Kang is, how can it be......

But just when Chen Daolin counted "eighty......

Suddenly, there was a creak, and the door opened!

An emaciated and short figure has come out quickly!

This figure came out in an extremely hurry, and in a hurry, he almost tripped at the door, and almost fell into Chen Daolin's arms!

I heard an old and hoarse voice, with nervousness, excitement, anxiety, anticipation, and so on, and even some words were not smooth because of being too excited.

"Man, man! You! Is it you! Is it you!!"

......

The old man who came out was short and thin, and his height was only about as high as Chen Daolin's chin.

A pair of eyes are small, but they are shining like electricity!

His eyes fell on Chen Daolin's face, and his voice was a little sharp because he was too excited!

"Is that you?, you brought the sword?!"

"That's me. Chen Daolin looked at the old man in front of him, who didn't seem to be amazing: "You are Master Kang?"

"I am!" The old man suddenly pounced and grabbed Chen Daolin's sleeve, his arm even trembled: "That sword...... You made it?"

But when he said this, he saw Chen Daolin's hands, and shook his head: "Impossible, your hands are not sword-forging hands!"

"I didn't build it, but I know the art of forging. ”

"Give it to me!" Master Kang's voice became astringent.

“...... I have conditions. Chen Daolin smiled.

"Say!" the old man took a deep breath.

"I want your shop!"

"Here you go!" Master Kang waved his hand.

"I want you to make a ...... for me"

"It's up to you!"

"I want you to ...... for me"

"Listen to you!" The old man suddenly raised his head and stared at Chen Daolin, his sharp voice, word by word, extremely resolute: "Give me this forging skill! Even if you want my life, you can only take it!!!"

Rumble!!

Throughout the gold-making streets, blacksmiths and swordsmiths of all sizes are ...... All stunned!
