Douluo's Fate Modification System

Chapter 334 The mysterious black-robed man

As soon as he set off, Tai Tan couldn't help laughing out loud.

"Thanks to the teacher, I can now be considered a real third-level blacksmith! At that time, I must make Fatty Lou envy me! Thinking about how we called ourselves master craftsmen before learning forging, now Come to think of it, we are really arrogant."

Xia Ling smiled slightly, and hugged Zhu Zhuqing in his arms.

"Don't say that, it's not your fault, it's because the development of the times hasn't reached that point yet, the speed and difficulty of making your own way and following the way of the predecessors must be different."

Tai Tan sighed: "Fortunately, I met you, Teacher, in my lifetime, otherwise I would die and die with regret. You have a good saying, you can die after hearing the Tao."

"Hahahahaha, Lao Tai, then you have to live well. Are you willing to die before you reach the top of the true craftsman?"

"Of course I don't want to, hahahahaha."

Gengxin City, also known as Metal Capital.

It is located within the territory of the Star Luo Empire, but it happens to be in two directions from Longxing City.

Longxing City is in the southeast near the border of the Heaven Dou Empire, while Gengxin City is in the southwest of the interior of the Star Luo Empire.

From Wuhun City to Gengxin City, it takes more than half of the border of the Star Luo Empire.

Even with the speed of the special carriage and horse-shaped spirit beasts made by Wuhundian, it took them 20 days to reach their destination with all their strength.

Most of the time was spent on detours with seven turns and eight turns.

This made Xia Ling feel once again how necessary it is to build a highway.

If there is a direct expressway, even if you still use a horse-drawn carriage, the speed will definitely be more than twice as fast as it is now.

In the distance, Gengxin City is already in sight.

Looking around, you can already see the rather tall city wall.

The entire city wall of Gengxin City is iron gray, and it feels like it is made of metal.

There is still some distance from the city, but the metallic aura of the city can already be vaguely felt in the air.

Xia Ling secretly guessed that there must be something wrong with the technology tree of Douluo Dalu.

It's outrageously crooked!
This city wall construction technology and material science are definitely black technologies among black technologies.

To build such a city wall tens of meters high on the earth in the previous life, the lower structure would definitely collapse because it could not support the weight of the upper structure.

But on the Douluo Continent, this defensive power doesn't seem to be bad.

After paying the entrance fee, they came to the city smoothly.

Xia Ling has always been low-key in strange places, and the carriage he rides has lost the characteristics of the Wuhun Temple.

As soon as they entered the city gate, the metallic smell and the special smell of burning fire brought them a different feeling.

After arriving inside, Xia Ling and Zhu Zhuqing lifted the curtains of the carriage, admiring the scenery of this special city with great interest.

Titan's mood was obviously a little excited, and he kept introducing the surrounding buildings to the two of them.

"Gengxin City is the city with the most blacksmith shops. Only in this place, blacksmiths will be valued. According to statistics, there are 160 blacksmith shops in the entire Gengxin City, and there are more than [-] registered blacksmiths. People. This is just a resident registered blacksmith."

"There are also countless blacksmith apprentices and blacksmiths from other cities who come to study and assess. In a sense, this is a paradise for blacksmiths."

"Although blacksmiths are not valued by the empire, the equipment and furniture made by senior blacksmiths are still relatively valuable."

Xia Ling listened quietly to Tai Tan's explanation, and stared at him with a strange smile on his face.

Tai Tan was a little uncomfortable being stared at by him, and moved his butt in embarrassment.

"Teacher, is there anything wrong with what I said?"

Xia Ling pretended to be mysterious and pointed out the window.

"Lao Tai, haven't you been back for a long time? You should take a look at the scenery outside first."

Tai Tan stuck his head out of the window to look around in confusion, and returned to the car after a long time.

"How? What's the difference?"

"It seems that the number of blacksmiths in the city has decreased a lot? Why do you feel that there is even a bit of depression?"

Tai Tan hesitated for a while, and answered with some uncertainty.

In his memory, the streets on both sides of Gengxin City should be filled with dense blacksmith shops.

No matter what time it is, this place should be full of heat waves and people's voices, why does it feel much deserted now?

The continuous flow of people has not changed, but the density of blacksmith shops has almost been cut in half.

"Bingo, the answer is correct."

Xia Ling snapped his fingers and closed the curtains again.

"Wuhundian is not those idiots who don't have a long-term vision in the two empires. The blacksmiths they don't value are all treasures in our Wuhundian. Nearly half of the blacksmiths in Gengxin City are now working in Wuhun City. Of course there are fewer blacksmith shops."

Tai Tan suddenly realized.

"Damn, I'm confused. You have such superb forging skills yourself, how can you underestimate blacksmiths? In your words, this is called a factory assembly line instead of a small manual workshop?"

Xia Ling nodded.

Although strictly speaking, their current situation cannot be called assembly line production.

But it has indeed departed from the model of a small family workshop and changed to a more advanced factory model.

Each batch of blacksmiths has a special responsibility for the parts. After the completion, they are finally gathered together for unified assembly. The production efficiency far crushes the traditional blacksmith shop.

"Well, what you said is not bad. Not only blacksmiths, but also other handicraftsmen and craftsmen we have been recruiting. Now the elite craftsmen from all walks of life in the world probably account for as much as [-]% of the entire continent under the command of Wuhundian. "

Taking the most representative spinning as an example, Wuhundian Workshop, which has already pointed out the technology of Jenny spinning machine and hydraulic conversion of mechanical energy, is definitely the leader in this industry.

This is already the prototype of the factory form.

Wait until the soul guide engine matures and integrates into the supporting industrial machinery.

Factories that use soul power to convert mechanical power will fully demonstrate their own terror, dealing a dimensionality reduction blow to the fragile handicraft industries of the two empires.

At that time, Wuhundian can do a heavy dumping, reaping a trade surplus like Karma leeks.

"The teacher attaches so much importance to the recruitment of talents, and doesn't care about his background, the great cause will be successfully completed in the future."

Titan delivered a well-timed sycophant.

The few people didn't meet the swindling and deceitful reincarnation disciple in the original book, and the group went straight to the central area.

Although Gengxin City is one of the main cities, it is not big in itself.

It didn't take long for them to arrive at the central area of ​​Gengxin City.

The carriage stopped in front of a tall building.

Several people got out of the carriage one after another.

Chrysanthemum Ghost and the two Douluo put on their robes ahead of time, and also wore pure white masks on their faces.

Looking up, this huge building is at least 30 meters high and covers a very large area.

A hammer and chisel are depicted on a dark plaque, along with two raised figures.

The overall look is quite a bit of punk.

Undoubtedly, this is where the blacksmiths association is located.

This huge building looks extremely rough, without any gorgeous decorations.

The gate wasn't even guarded.

But there is a steady stream of people coming and going.

The three doors are open, and the bustling flow of people inside can be seen from the outside.

This scene is very similar to the Spring Festival travel of Blue Star in the previous life.

Tai Tan introduced to Xia Ling: "There are five floors here. The first floor is the trading area, where common materials are traded. The second floor is the advanced trading area, mainly for rare metals. The third floor is the registration and assessment area, and the fourth floor is the VIP area and auctions. area, and the fifth floor is the association office."

Xia Ling stared at the plaque above his head while listening to Tai Tan's introduction.

Seeing him distracted, Zhu Zhuqing stretched out her hand and waved it in front of his eyes.

"Tianling? What's on it?"

Xia Ling grabbed the dangling cat's paw and squeezed it.

"It's nothing, I'm looking at the plaque. It would be great if the chisel on it could be replaced with a sickle, but not an axe or a hoe. Then replace the gears with ears of wheat, oh, it's perfect. Of course, it's not bad now, as long as But it would be even better if it was our logo.”

He does not mean that.

Xia Ling's words attracted a strange person.

"Boy, I want to ask you, why do you want to change this sign? Do these signs you mentioned have any special meaning?"

This person is dressed in a black robe, his face is hidden in the shadows, and there is a slight sense of separation between his body and the surrounding space.

It was as if he didn't belong to this world at all.

He used very clever spiritual power to communicate.

The voice rang directly outside Xia Ling's mental barrier, and it didn't even disturb the two old dragons who were dozing off in the sea of ​​consciousness.

Including the two Douluo of Chrysanthemum Ghost.

The rest of the people didn't notice the figure of the man in black at all, and they still followed Tai Tan's footsteps.

Xia Ling's expression turned serious.

Optical camouflage plus phase invisibility?
Very clever space manipulation skills.

If you use your spiritual sense to detect it, even your spiritual power in the middle stage of the spiritual realm can only vaguely feel his existence.

He seems to have become a part of the space, unfathomable.

Even the level 97 chrysanthemum ghosts can't be found, and the strong ones who can hardly be detected by themselves, at least must be Limit Douluo, right?

Such a strong man, now he may have no problem escaping by himself, and he will definitely not be able to beat him.

You can't act rashly, there are other people around you.

This is a male voice, Snow Emperor and Silver Dragon King ruled it out first.

The Deep Sea Demon Whale King is a strong man.

Di Tian would not hide his head and show his tail like this.

The ruler of the Xieyan tyrant is still in the Sun Moon Continent.

Qian Daoliu knew it by himself.

Tang Chen is definitely still locked up in the Killing Capital.

Can.
On the Douluo Continent of this era, is there a fourth Human Limit Douluo?
Could it be the evil soul master Limit Douluo?

Xia Ling calmly followed Tai Tan and walked inward, silently responding in his heart.

"Hoes, sickles, and ears of wheat symbolize farmers and harvests, and they also symbolize thousands of ordinary people who have no soul power and cannot cultivate."

"Hammers, axes, and gears, which symbolize soul masters and force, and also symbolize countless workers who are about to devote themselves to their careers and create a better new life."

"The superimposition of these means that we must unite to break the oppression and exploitation of other classes by oligarchic interest groups. The decadent class rule will be overthrown by the rolling wheels of the new era."

"Overthrowing the existing class? Oh, interesting."

The slightly disdainful voice of the man in black resounded in Xia Ling's heart again.

"Isn't your Wuhundian what you call an oligarchic interest group? You control seven or eight out of ten soul masters in the world. Don't you want to listen to everything?"

"of course not."

Xia Ling answered righteously.

"The meaning of Wuhundian's existence is to seek welfare for the majority of soul masters, so that we will seek welfare for ordinary people all over the world, improve their living standards, break the monopoly, exploitation, and oppression of nobles, and enter a beautiful new world. era."

"So what if Wuhundian controls the world's soul masters? Doesn't the Blacksmiths Association also control the world's blacksmiths? Could it be that Lou Gao can order all the world's blacksmiths not to work for a certain force? If we think about it, the dispatch of the elders alone can completely make the two empires no longer exists."

"But we can't, because people still have to live, and our supporting infrastructure can't meet the living needs of tens of millions of ordinary people."

"Hmph, all crows in the world are black, do you dare to say that Wuhundian can always maintain the attitude you said?" The man in black obviously didn't believe it.

"Of course not. People's hearts are the most unpredictable, so in the future, the power structure of Wuhundian must also be changed."

Xia Ling said naturally.

He doesn't shy away from it, and there's no need to shy away from it.

Wuhundian is not a brainwashing pyramid scheme.

He is not Yuri, nor does he have a mind stamp, so it is impossible to guarantee that everyone's thoughts are immutable and pure.

Where there is light, there must be darkness.

"But at least, while I'm still in this world, the nature of Spirit Hall will never change. Before I leave or die, I will try my best to eliminate possible hidden dangers."

At this time, they had already reached the second floor, and Tai Tan was still chattering about the internal structure of the Blacksmiths Association.

The man in black was silent for a while.

"Do you know that the change of dynasty and empire will kill a lot of people? No one can easily manipulate the general situation of the world without paying any price. Even yourself may die! Do you have this awareness?"

Xia Ling smiled slightly, and said calmly:
"Because of the great ambition of sacrifice, dare to teach the sun and the moon to change the sky. Human beings are mortal, and they may be heavier than Mount Tai, or lighter than a feather. As long as the world is right, it doesn't matter if my soul dies in Xia Tian?"

The man in black was silent again.

He didn't really understand the meaning of the first sentence, nor did he understand what Mount Tai was.

But Xia Ling's resolute attitude will not change.

It was not until several people had reached the third floor that they spoke again.

"Interesting little guy, I'm looking forward to seeing that day."

After all, there was a slight fluctuation in the space behind the man in black.

In the next moment, the person has disappeared from sight.

After waiting for about a minute, Xia Ling asked the system silently in his heart.

"System, is this person gone?"

"I have already left, the host is relieved. By the way, the system has automatically deducted this charge from your deposit."

Xia Ling heaved a sigh of relief for not caring about the system's private deductions.

After coming to Douluo Continent, it was the first time he felt completely uneasy.

The heart was beating violently as if it was about to pop out of the chest.

Lingjue is also frantically calling the police, reminding him of the danger of this person.

Even the time when he confronted Bibi Dong when he was six years old, he wasn't so nervous.

I don't know where this person came from, and I hope I don't meet him again in the future.

The feeling that this kind of thing is out of his control makes Xia Ling feel very uncomfortable.

"Tianling? Why are you sweating so much? Your heartbeat is also fast."

Zhu Zhuqing turned to look at him suspiciously.

She heard the deep breath, and also heard the pounding heartbeat.

"It's nothing, it feels a little stuffy here."

Xia Ling smiled, and found an excuse to evade the matter.

At the same time, he secretly controlled the flames to evaporate his body surface and sweat.

A little stuffy?

Zhu Zhuqing blinked his eyes.

She always felt that Xia Ling was lying.

With his physical fitness, in the eyes of Binghuo Liangyi, he seemed to be soaking in a hot spring.

How could this little heat make him sweat so much?
"What the teacher said is that this place is really boring, so I don't like staying here all the time. Only Lou Gao can bear it."

Tai Tan heard the conversation between the two and interjected.

After going up to the third and fourth floors, all you can see are closed doors, and the guards on the upper floors of the fourth floor are two soul saints.

The two guards froze for a moment when they saw Titan.

The guard on the left asked, "Vice President Titan? Why are you here? Long time no see!"

Tai Tan chuckled: "It's been a long time, are you still guarding the stairs for Lou Gao?"

"Teacher, let me introduce you. These two are old men from the Blacksmiths Association, and they are also direct disciples of Lou Gao. The one on the left is called Silong, and the one on the right is called Siyu."
