Silong was scolded, but couldn't find a reason to refute - he was a blacksmith, he couldn't tell the types of metals, and he didn't do his job well, which means he wasn't good at learning; It is enough if the soul is well cultivated.
"Okay, take me to see Lou Gao! I want to see how genuine this 'magic craftsman' is?" Si Ren put away the unknown metal.
Silong felt ashamed. He didn't expect to trouble the teacher to identify metals, but he had no choice but to nod and said in a low voice: "Just follow me."
You can enter the trading area on the first floor casually, but if you want to go up, there is a "level" - there are two guards on the left and right of the soul master at the stairs.
After passing the guard and stepping onto the second floor, there was suddenly less noise and more silence.
There are also two guards at the stairs on the second floor, but they have reached the Soul King level, and there are two Soul Saints at the stairs on the third floor.
"It's really weird. I asked the Soul Saint to look at the gate. I don't know what treasures there are, but I thought it was there?" Si Ren said in wonder.
"The four of us brothers volunteered to take turns guarding the door for the teacher. The fourth floor of the auction floor usually stores auction items, many of which contain tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of gold soul coins. Naturally, strict requirements must be met. Add guards." Silong said solemnly.
At this moment, Miles spoke hurriedly, blocking Silong's subsequent words:
"His Royal Highness the Holy Son does not know. Everyone knows the reputation of Wuhun Palace. Therefore, even if ordinary soldiers wear the system with the logo of Wuhun Palace, it is also a good deterrent. Naturally, powerful bishops do not need to stand guard. , just take charge of the overall situation in secret."
"But the Blacksmith Association is different. They don't have a strong background, so they can only put the powerful Soul Saint on the surface to intimidate Xiao Xiao."
Si Ren suddenly realized that hundreds of thousands of gold soul coins were a lot of money.
Continuing upward, to Si Ren's surprise, two Titled Douluo-level guards did not appear between the fourth and fifth floors according to the previous rules. There was only a door blocking them.
The material of the door seems to be quite good. Si Ren feels that it can at least hinder the soul saint for a while - otherwise, wouldn't the two soul saints downstairs become a joke?
Silong walked to the alloy door and kept knocking on the door with a special rhythm. The position and force of each hit were different.
After a full thirty-six attempts, the password verification finally ended, and the metal door slowly opened to one side, revealing the stairs behind it.
When we arrived on the fifth floor, we looked around and saw thirty-six numbered rooms. According to the first floor, it can be deduced that each room is quite large, and the sound of "ping ping ping ping ping" is coming from several of them. , apparently for the exclusive use of blacksmiths.
"Actually, this fifth floor is the private casting area for the high-level blacksmiths of our Blacksmith Association. Every blacksmith above the master level will have his own place here, but it has never been full." Silong was a little sad.
Si Ren didn't know how to sympathize with Si Long, so he just casually opened a casting room and went in to take a look around.
It's quite clean inside, and it seems to be cleaned frequently, but the equipment is quite new, so no one has probably used it.
"It doesn't seem like the alloy door here is as strong as it is?" Si Ren said, touching his chin.
Silong also followed in. After hearing this, he explained: "The alloy door was made by my teacher himself. It is expensive and the craftsmanship is complicated. Naturally, we cannot prepare one for every casting room."
"Oh, you didn't understand what I meant." Si Ren raised his hand to brush against the wall and said calmly:
"I mean, if someone locked the fifth floor from the outside and didn't take the stairs, wouldn't they be able to bypass the alloy door and break in directly?"
Silong opened his mouth and wanted to explain, but found that he couldn't explain it. He could only hold it back and abruptly changed the subject: "Let's go find my teacher first! He is in the innermost room."
Si Ren shrugged. In fact, in many important storage rooms, the door is the weakest link - because the door needs to be able to allow people to enter and exit, but the walls can be infinitely thick.
Not paying attention to other people's affairs, Si Ren continued to follow.
I saw Silong coming to the innermost casting room No. 1, standing respectfully and reservedly by the door, raising his hand and knocking gently on the door.
There was no sound of forging in this casting room. Instead, it was quiet. But Lou Gao seemed to be doing something. Silong knocked on the door and directly lit the gunpowder barrel:
"Didn't I tell you a long time ago that no one is allowed to disturb me?"
Silong quickly apologized: "Teacher, it's me. His Royal Highness the Holy Son of Wuhun Palace came to our blacksmith association and found a piece of unidentified metal in the trading area. I couldn't recognize it, so I had to inform you. please forgive."
The restless voice immediately disappeared, and the casting room was eerily quiet for a short period of time. Then the door was slowly opened, revealing a rather bright room.
There are no windows in this casting room, so no light from the outside comes in, and there are no items such as candles. There is only a soul guide lamp hanging on the ceiling, which is indeed a rare item.
Douluo Continent has an extremely strange history of the development of soul guidance devices - space storage soul guidance devices appeared a long time ago, and Yu Xiaogang's Twenty-Four Bridges on a Bright Moon Night were discovered in the "ancient ruins", but in today's era, they have The inheritance has almost been discontinued, and few people are heard of doing it.
In Dou Er, Douluo Dalu picked up the soul guide again after suffering a severe beating from the Sun and Moon Empire. What happened in the middle is unknown.
"This is His Royal Highness the Holy Son of Wuhun Palace? It's better to be famous than to meet him. He has such grace at such a young age, and his future achievements will be limitless!" A loud voice sounded, and there was a lot of flattery in his words.
This is a short and fat old man. He is a little shorter than Si Ren in height, but his weight is definitely higher than Si Ren. He has a "ball shape" overall. His messy short hair seems to have just been combed, and his chubby face There is also a small amount of metal powder remaining.
"You are the number one master craftsman, Mr. Lou Gao?" Si Ren was polite for once.
"Don't take it seriously, don't take it seriously, it's just a false reputation!" Lou Gao waved his hands hurriedly, showing an unimaginable respect for Si Ren: "His Royal Highness the Holy Son, come in and sit down. That guy Silong is not good at studying. He can't even identify metals. Wait. I'm done, I must deal with this kid properly."
Silong smiled awkwardly and did not dare to reply.
After Si Ren thought about it for a while, he understood why Lou Gao was so respectful.
Miles had just taken office as bishop and had not yet had time to persecute the Blacksmiths Association. Lou Gao had a good sense of the Wuhun Temple and was generally in awe.
And Miles didn't really want to incorporate the Blacksmiths Association, he just wanted to make profits for himself, but Si Ren was different. The identity of the Holy Son of Wuhun Palace was enough to make Lou Gao put down his dignity.
Of course, it might also be related to the fact that there were two titled Douluo standing behind Si Ren.
