Douluo: Conquering the Blue Silver Emperor at the beginning

Chapter 69 From the Far North

Zhu Zhuqing thought he had discovered the secret of Lin You's "becoming stronger", and was secretly very happy.

But Lin You's words were like pouring cold water on her, calming her excited heart instantly.

Zhu Zhuqing was silent, with many thoughts in his mind.

He didn’t speak again for a long time…

These days, she has always considered all issues from her own perspective. She has never used Lin You's perspective to think about why he helped her at all costs.

Is it really because she is beautiful?

But when Lin You was talking to her, he didn't even bother to look back at her. How could he be willing to offend an empire for this reason?

Moreover, Lin You is a businessman and has business dealings with the Star Luo Empire. There is no way he can ruin his own financial path, right?

Zhu Zhuqing couldn't figure this out.

She only felt that she could no longer see through Lin You's thoughts.

……

Sitting in front of the carriage, Lin You crossed his legs and looked relaxed and content.

The journey finally reached its destination successfully.

In front of you is Gengxin City, the famous "metal capital".

From a distance, Gengxin City is very different from any other city in Douluo Continent.

The sky above that city made of steel was always shrouded in thick smoke and water vapor, making the surrounding sky look gray, much like the smog in a certain city in a previous life.

Driving the carriage forward.

After passing the rusty iron moat bridge, a magnificent gate appeared in front of us.

Compared with it, the carriage driven by Lin You looked very small, almost like a child's toy.

The extremely thick steel city gate is driven by countless gears. When it is opened, it is operated by guards, making loud "bang, bang, bang" sounds.

"Welcome to the 'Steel City'!"

Entering the city gate, the buildings on the streets of Gengxin City are also very distinctive.

There are many blacksmiths and craftsmen living here.

Most of them are willing to decorate their houses in the way they like, so the houses here are often transformed into overly "mechanical" styles, full of metallic luster and steampunk style.

Of course, there are also businessmen and travelers from other parts of Douluo Continent here.

They like to buy the equipment, raw materials or soul tools they want here, and sell them to various countries.

The prices of goods in the "Metal Capital" are not much cheaper than outside. However, you can guarantee to buy genuine goods here, and there are very few fakes.

Because there are countless craftsmen here.

Buying and selling counterfeit goods or passing them off as good ones will be spotted at a glance.

……

"It is indeed the 'Metal City'. Before I came here, I heard that the architectural style here is very impactful.

Now that I have seen it with my own eyes, I feel it is even more exaggerated than the legend...

Look at this house, even the windows are welded shut, tsk tsk tsk! "

Lin You sighed while driving the carriage slowly forward.

Zhu Zhuqing sat in the back and said nothing.

Although she was looking out the window, she was not in the mood to appreciate the scenery at all.

While she was worried about her fate, she was also thinking about what she should do next.

Lin You ignored her.

His purpose here is very clear, which is to find the "magic craftsman" Lou Gao.

So he had to do business first.

"Excuse me... where is the address of the Blacksmiths Association in Gengxin City?" Lin You asked passers-by.

I learned that Lou Gao was in the association at this time.

He didn't stop for a moment and immediately headed towards his destination.

In the center of Gengxin City, a large and eye-catching building complex is the headquarters of the Blacksmiths Association.

As the president of the Blacksmiths Association, Lou Gao's name is naturally known to everyone.

Therefore, Lin You found out about Lou Gao's exclusive casting room without any effort.

Unfortunately, when he happily led Zhu Zhuqing to the casting room, he was stopped by the tightly closed steel door.

"Tsk, I forgot. There is something wrong with these 'famous craftsmen'. They like to shut themselves up and work behind closed doors. It seems we have to find someone to help open them up."

He explained to Zhu Zhuqing at the side in a serious manner.

As soon as they finished speaking, a very majestic man saw them lingering at the door of the forging room and walked over quickly.

"What do you want to do with the teacher?"

He glanced at their faces and realized that they were both young, so he waved his hands as if to drive them away, "Don't disturb the teacher's creative ideas, otherwise he will lose his temper and everyone will be in trouble."

"Are you a disciple of Master Lou Gao?" Lin You asked.

"Yes, my name is Silong." The man nodded.

Lin You cupped his hand and said politely, "Oh, hello, Master Silong! I come from Notting City in Fasno Province, and I came here specifically to visit Senior Lou Gao. Can you please ask Senior Lou Gao to come out? I have a little trouble here. Something, I want him to take a look at it.”

"Oh?"

Silong was a little surprised.

He didn't expect that these two people would travel such a long way to get here at such a young age.

What's more, I didn't expect that this young man looked younger than the woman, but his tone of voice and word choice were so mature.

But recalling Lou Gao's violent temper, he did not dare to disturb his teacher rashly, so he asked Lin You and the others: "Do you want someone to identify the treasure? If that is the case, I would be willing to help you take a look."

As he spoke, he pointed to the small room in the distance and said, "Please come and sit over there."

Lin You followed his instructions and saw the lonely room in the distance.

Generally speaking, many people don’t want to expose their treasures when they come to appraise them.

As the saying goes, a common man is not guilty, but he is guilty of carrying a treasure. If others knew about it, who would have thought that it would cause trouble?

Therefore, that kind of secluded room is specially used for people to appraise treasures and communicate in it.

……

Seeing that Silong was so enthusiastic, Lin You was too embarrassed to directly refuse.

It just so happens that I have something else in my hand, so it doesn't hurt to let him take a look.

Silong was even more anxious. Although he didn't say anything, he wanted the two of them to leave quickly from Lou Gao's door.

So, the three of them came to the "Treasure Appraisal Room" together.

After closing the door, Silong asked the two of them to sit down, and then said: "You two, if it is convenient, you can take out the things that need to be identified now... Don't worry, it is very safe here, no one can hear our conversation .”

Lin You nodded.

Then, he took out a light yellow, slightly fluorescent gem from the item space and placed it in front of Si Long.

"Master Silong, please!"

Silong only glanced at it, then replied with a confident smile: "This is topaz, we often use it to make jewelry, but... the light it emits is stronger than most topaz, which means that the stone in your hand is The quality is of high quality, and if sold directly... it would be worth a lot of money."

"Is it just that?" Lin You was a little disappointed, "When I first bought it, I thought it was special..."

"It's already very special. It can create good jewelry. Don't the customers care about this?" Silong asked with a smile.

Lin You shook his head and did not answer. Instead, he took out a box from the item space, which contained a translucent ice-like object.

After putting it on the table, the temperature in the whole room dropped instantly.

Even if Lin You was sitting next to him, he could feel the cold air hitting his cheeks.

"Huh?" Silong's eyes lit up and he seemed to be interested, "Is this Hanyu?"

He was about to try to reach out and touch it.

Lin You hurriedly stopped him, "Master Silong, be careful! This thing may not be cold jade. The extremely cold aura contained in it has never been so big in cold jade."

"Don't worry..." Silong smiled.

He raised his right hand, waved it in front of Lin You, and said with a smile: "Did you see it? I wear a kind of translucent gloves, which can isolate the transfer of heat. Even if I touch the red coal directly, it will not scald."

"Hiss... It's amazing! Then you are 'invulnerable to water and fire', aren't you?" Lin You exclaimed.

Silong didn't think so much. He stayed for a second and said with a smile: "No, these gloves also have a tolerance limit..."

While he stretched out his hand towards the "cold jade", he continued: "Look, if it is this level of cold, it won't ask any questions - Huh?!"

Originally he wanted to demonstrate his operation to Lin You, but in the end Silong screamed and hurriedly put down the strange thing.

He raised his hand to look and saw that his gloves were directly covered with a thick layer of ice armor.

"What a powerful thing! I understand! This is not cold jade, but the ice marrow of the far north!"

Silong shouted, and then he discovered the true identity of the unknown object.

"This guest, do you want to sell this piece of ice marrow?" He asked directly.

Lin You smiled slightly and replied: "You tell me its function first. After all, I have to understand it before I can decide whether to sell it or not."

"Well, that makes sense."

Silong nodded and began to tell Lin You about the function and origin of this ice marrow.

Although he could use lies to deceive Lin You, making him think that the ice marrow was of little use, and eventually sold it to him.

But out of professional ethics, Silong still told Lin You everything he knew.

original.

The far north of Douluo Continent has been covered by thick ice for many years. Ice, snow, severe cold, and harsh living conditions have made spirit beasts and humans extremely rare there.

And buried beneath those layers of ice is this "ice marrow."

It contains rich "extreme cold" energy and is released all the time.

This small piece of "ice marrow" in Lin You's hand is not actually "extreme north ice marrow" in the true sense because it is too small and has low energy.

And the uses of this thing are also very wide.

It can be used to make jewelry, and can also be used as a gemstone to be embedded in equipment. With a little processing, you can easily utilize its energy while avoiding harm to yourself.

"This thing is indeed a treasure. I feel that the teacher will be interested in it. Please wait a moment and I will report it to his old man."

Out of the craftsman's challenge mentality, Silong said something to Lin You and couldn't wait to open the door to find Lou Gao.

but.

Lin You stopped him, "Wait a minute, Master Silong! I have something else here that I want Senior Lou Gao to see. Why don't you take a look first and then report it to him?"

"okay!"

Silong hesitated for a moment and sat back happily.

The piece of "ice marrow" brought by Lin You already made him overjoyed.

This was the first time in so many years that he had seen something so rare.

What shocked him even more was that this "Ice Marrow" was actually in the hands of a young man. As expected, a person cannot be judged by his appearance, and the young man in front of him had a lot of trouble.

After he returned to the chair and sat down, he smiled at Lin You and asked sheepishly: "By the way, I was in a hurry just now and didn't ask your names. What do you call them?"

"My name is Lin You...she is my wife." Lin Youtian introduced shamelessly.

"Lin You? Hiss, this name..."

Silong frowned and pondered for a moment, then slapped his head suddenly, "I remembered! Do you have a chamber of commerce under your control..."

Lin You smiled slightly, "That's right."

"Ah! I'm so disrespectful!"

Silong felt like he had been suffering from constipation for many years and was relieved in one day. His brows relaxed and he felt clear in his heart.

Seeing this reaction, Lin You became curious, "Do you know me?"

"That's natural!"

Silong nodded and smiled, "A few days ago, a chamber of commerce called 'New Force' took root in Gengxin City. Your people came to the Blacksmith Association to talk to us about cooperation, saying it was 'Dongfeng Express, mission...', What’s the “mission”?”

"Dongfeng Express will definitely achieve its mission." Lin You continued with a smile.

"Yes, yes...hahahaha! I heard at that time that the president of the 'New Forces Chamber of Commerce' was a talented young man who was quite successful in business.

The 'new forces' have been developing and prospering for many years. I really want to see this kind of influential figure in business with my own eyes.

I didn’t expect to see you today, hahahaha! "

Silong laughed heartily.

He was originally a forthright person who would say whatever he wanted. At this time, whatever was on his mind came out.

Lin You didn't expect that the manpower arranged by Tian Wudi had already started working and contacted the Blacksmiths Association.

But with this level of identity, many things no longer require explanation, and things become much more convenient.

He exchanged a few polite words with Silong, and then said seriously: "Master Silong, I originally wanted Senior Lou Gao to come and see this thing in person, but today you and I got along well, so I also want to I want to hear some of your opinions first, so after seeing it, please keep it secret for me."

"Ok?"

Silong became curious.

What baby needs to be mysterious?Could it be that he came from the wrong place?

But he has worked in Gengxin City for many years, and he has seen a lot of shady things.

If this is all Lin You worries about...

Thinking of this, Silong waved his hand and said: "Our blacksmiths' association has its own rules, and the secrets of our guests must be kept strictly confidential. You can trust me on this point."

"I believe you." Lin You smiled slightly.

Then, he took out a dark object from the item space, which looked like bones stuck together after being cauterized.

"This is what I want you to see. It's not a gem or a rare treasure. It's a set of... soul bones that have been fused together."
