"It's a lot, there are hundreds of these people in total."

"Yes, but I don't have a familiar one here, so those people shouldn't be there."

Titan is the vice president of the Blacksmith Association. Although he hasn't been here for a long time, there are still a few familiar people. At this time, he saw all the strangers and young people, which made him feel a little unreasonable.

At this time, a man walked down the stairs in the hall and saw several people at the door.

"Uncle Titan, are you here? Just so happens that if you have something to do with the master, you need your help."

"Silong? You kid are still here. Why are there a few people here? And there is no old guy seeing it."

"It's a little less. Those people have gone to the steel factory over there. As for the old guy you mentioned, they are all on the fifth floor."

Titan then introduced to everyone:

"This is Lou Gao's disciple and the old man from the Blacksmith Association. They volunteered to contribute to the association here. Speaking of which, their casting skills were second only to the Divine Craftsmen, and their master-level skills, and their soul power level also reached the Soul Saint."

The blacksmith, known as the magic craftsman, is one of the three magic craftsmen on the mainland. He has reached a superb level in blacksmithing. The remaining two are Titan and Tang Hao. In a sense, Tang San and the blacksmith have a great relationship.

The magic craftsman is the highest level of a blacksmith. The blacksmiths here, like the soul master, also have their own ratings, which are divided into seven levels.

From low to high, they are: junior blacksmith, intermediate blacksmith, advanced blacksmith, blacksmith, blacksmith master, blacksmith master and magic craftsman.

However, this hierarchy will not play any role outside. In the outside world, even if you are a magic craftsman, if your soul power level is not high, you will not receive much attention.

No matter how outstanding the blacksmiths' craftsmanship is, the things they create are extremely weak when facing high-level soul masters.

This situation only occurs in Gengxin City.

Gengxin City is the city with the largest number of blacksmith shops. Only in this city can blacksmiths be valued.

According to incomplete statistics, there are thousands of blacksmith shops in Gengxin City, and tens of thousands of blacksmiths are there. Many blacksmiths from other cities come here to conduct blacksmith assessments. If you can pass the advanced blacksmith assessment, you can stay in this city. Simply put, this is the paradise for blacksmiths.

Most of the people living here are not blacksmiths and are engaged in careers related to the metallurgical industry, and the rest are a few

In addition to precious metals, these blacksmiths were also one of the purposes of their trip.

The disciples of Lougao were also excellent blacksmiths, Silong was just one of them, and there were three like him.

When he saw Titan, he also planned to take Titan directly to the fifth floor, but Titan still explained the situation here to Tang San.

"Young master, there will always be five floors here. The first floor is the trading area. The blacksmiths in Gengxin City usually sell finished products or metals here, so blacksmiths have to have a meal.

There are also merchants who specialize in selling various metals. They can be found on one layer of ordinary metals, and they are much cheaper than in Tiandou City. However, there are very few rare metals, so you can only try to find a bargain. If you want a large amount of precious metals, you need to go to the second floor.

The second floor is a high-end trading area, where most rare metals are traded. But you have to be careful. You can pick up bargains on the first floor and you can also be beaten by the second floor. The association only provides a trading place. Unless it is sold by the association, it is not fidelity and there are always people who want to make up for the numbers.

The third floor is a blacksmith registration and assessment area that specializes in blacksmith level assessment. If you are interested, you can also try it.

The fourth floor is the VIP area and an auction area. Some particularly precious and rare casting items are regularly auctioned there.

As for the fifth floor we are going to, it is the office area, and the Blacksmith Association is there to handle things. It is also a forging area for excellent blacksmiths. Excellent blacksmiths have an exclusive territory on the fifth floor.

I used to have it, but I returned it later. After all, I will only come once every few years, so there is no need to take up space."

"Actually, your location is still reserved for you. After all, where do we have so many master-level blacksmiths in Gengxin City? Even if you return it, most of them are vacant there."

Then, under Silong's leadership, the group walked upstairs of the union.

There are guards in the stairwell, but because Silong led the way, these guards did not stop them.

During this process, Titan will also introduce the situation of the union. Silong will also make additional additions to the place where Titan said it was missing.

When you step onto the second floor, you don’t feel like you’re in a room at all, but still like you’re in a market. There are dense shops here, and you can’t see at first sight.

Titan said: "This is a high-end trading area. Those who can open a store here have a certain background. The others are similar to the first floor, but there are more good things here.

The group walked upwards and Titans introduced the situation. The union headquarters is not a simple building. It can be said that this is a three-dimensional football field, and the area of ​​each floor is very huge.

In this era, it is very difficult to build such a building even with the help of a soul master.

After walking through the stairs after the floor, they arrived at the fourth floor, where a guard was standing at the entrance.

"Silong, are you back? Isn't this Uncle Titan?"

"Yes, I happened to meet me. The master is worried about being too busy. Now it's time to go."

"This is also one of Lou Gao's apprentices, but what's the matter that he can't be busy with? Do you still need help?"

Titan is a little curious about the matter of Louga. In terms of forging craftsmanship, Louga is undoubtedly stronger than him, and he is also very curious about what can make Louga need help.

"You will know this when you go up, and it's hard for us to explain it clearly."

Then there is the fifth floor, where there are no guards here. As long as you have the ability to open the door, you can enter. However, the way to open the door cannot be violently demolished.

Of course, as for the material of this door, most people can't do it if they want to disassemble it. Its material is very special and there is no trace left even if it is cut by a knife and axe. This may be the earliest password lock on the mainland.

After Silong knocked at different positions according to the rules, the door was also opened.

.........

There are thirty-six casting rooms on the fifth floor, but most of the doors are already covered with dust, and only four or five can see traces of people entering and leaving. Even in Gengxin City, the Blacksmith Holy Land, there are not many master-level blacksmiths.

At this moment, there were only two people who were moving.

Silong took everyone to the innermost casting room No. 1 and stopped, stood respectfully by the door, raised his hand and knocked on the metal door.

There was no sound of forging in this casting room. When Silong knocked on the door, an irritable voice sounded inside, "Didn't you say it long ago? No one is allowed to disturb me."

Silong hurriedly said respectfully: "Teacher, it's me. I'm sorry to bother you. However, Vice President Titan is here, I think it may help you, so I made a good decision."

When Silong's words came in, the irritable voice disappeared immediately. It didn't take long. With a series of mechanical sounds, the wide iron door slowly slid open.

The bright room inside was exposed, but there was no window in this casting room. The reason why it was bright was because a soul guide light was hung on the roof of the interior, and there was an exhaust fan suspected to be a soul guide next to it, which was changing the air inside.

Just these two soul guides, it can be said to be luxurious here.

The one who opened the door was a short and chunky old man, who was almost in a bold form, and he was only one step away from Gugaras and could already pretend to be a wine barrel.

He has wind-catching ears, small eyes, and a short, messy hair that looks like I haven't washed for many days. He is wearing a wide robe and has some metal powder-like things on his chubby face.

"Titan, are you still alive?" As soon as the door was opened, the loud voice of the short and fat old man rang.

Titan laughed, "Lou Gao, you fat man is several years older than me. You are alive. How could I die?"

"You came just right. I have something here. See if you can copy it."

The casting room looks very messy, but the place is indeed very large, with more than 500 square meters. As the only permanent craftsman in Gengxin City, the casting room with a height of the building accounts for a considerable distance from the fifth floor.

There are all kinds of messy metals everywhere on both sides. These wastes can even be sold at a high price when taken out, but here they are just waste.

In the corner, a dark casting furnace and a bellows of the same color are burning flames, which are forged from special metals and can make the furnace temperature higher.

Silong did not follow in and continued to act as a gatekeeper. The two people following Titan did not say anything, just waiting to see what Lou Gao wanted to say to Titan.

Then Lou Gao led Titan to his workbench.

His workbench is in the center of the room, and is a circular platform that looks more like a huge metal pillar standing there, only one meter high, and looks extremely solid.

This height is a bit low, but there is no doubt that this is specially created according to the height of the building. Most of the things in this room do not need to bend down, and they are slightly lower.

And there was only one thing next to it, a small inconspicuous ball.

But this is what has troubled the height of the building for quite some time.

"What's this?"

Looking at the ball that was not as big as a rice grain, the Titan showed a confused look.

"The goal given to me by the people of the new empire is that as long as this thing can be reproduced, then Gengxin City will be my fiefdom. From then on, I will have the final say in everything here."

The conditions Lou Gao said made Titan dumbfounded. The conditions were a bit ridiculous and it was really hard to believe.

"What if you can't do it?"

Tang San asked, "There is no good thing in the sky that there is no pie falling from the sky. The rewards made are so generous, so the price that cannot be made is probably not small."

"Can't do it? If I can't do it, I will help them manage all the blacksmiths in Gengxin City and obey the imperial order when necessary." Looking at the people brought in by Titan, Lou Gao still gave it back.

"What's the difficulty of just two little things?"

Looking at the tall tower, Titan asked in confusion.

"What's the difficulty? Look at this ball. First of all, it's a ball that is very close to perfect, and you can't see any cross-section. If that's all, I have a way, but this thing is a part and it's required to be able to use it."

As he said that, he threw a pen to Titan.

"This little ball is the bead in the tip of the pen. It must be very wear-resistant. And the little ball looks like a smooth ball, but there are grooves guiding the ink. Do you still think it's easy?"

The pen bead of a ballpoint pen is a test that the high place is facing. It seems simple, but the technology contained in it is very complicated.

At least he had no idea about building height, and he couldn't even find the right material.

In fact, what he requires is the entire pen. He has made all the other parts except this deadly pen bead. The pen tube itself has no technical content, it is just a shell and the spring does not take much effort.

The hardest thing is the last ball.

After roughly making some materials, I realized that the process was extremely difficult. Ordinary polishing could not be done at that level. If I barely made it, it would be like writing one or two strokes and leaking oil.

He didn't know how much craftsmanship it would take to overcome to make such a pen bead.

"By the way, what are you here to do."

After explaining how difficult this thing was to Titan, he asked casually.
