Swallowing the Emperor

Chapter 170
"Say."

"The fighters of the Sword God Legion are all powerful, and they are all born blacksmiths. We can open a blacksmith shop in Hongdu City, forge weapons for sale, and make use of their advantages. First, we can let them forge weapons for themselves. Second, to make money to support myself, and third, after these days, I listened to your explanation of the combined swordsmanship, and felt that blacksmithing might be of some help to the practice of luck."

Mo Lin's eyes lit up. Wang Ba's proposal was indeed the most suitable for the Sword God Legion at this time. This group of barbarians from the deep mountains in the north had simple minds, well-developed limbs, and powerful weapons. They were all good materials for blacksmiths.

"It's a good idea, but I'm not proficient in forging weapons. Besides, this is Hongdu City, and there are so many famous weapon shops. Can you make money?"

As far as Mo Lin knows, the imperial city has existed for thousands of years, and each industry has its own system. Some industries are completely monopolized by a few big families. It is too difficult to share a piece of the pie, at least, he doesn't have much confidence.

"Ordinary weapons are not profitable, but high-quality weapons are different. When I was in Black Dragon City, I was the one who took care of the family's forging business. Don't worry, Mr. Lin. As long as you nod and provide me with enough manpower, I promise At the slowest one month, we can rely on the business of the blacksmith shop to support the Sword God Legion and Nongchun."

Seeing Wang Ba's confident expression, Mo Lin really couldn't find a reason to reject him, nodded and said, "As long as I can make money, I can satisfy any of your requirements, but even the best knives need to be sharpened frequently to maintain their quality." It’s good to be sharp, but you can’t slack off in your usual practice, and I must strictly implement my previous training plan.”

Wang Ba fully agreed, and said: "The profit of forging weapons is huge. There are two reasons. One is the quality of weapons, and the other is the price of ore. I can find the best forging master to improve the quality of weapons, but the price of ore is very low. It is difficult to control. Today, the mines near Hongdu City are in the hands of the royal family and major families. If we rely on buying other people's ore to refine weapons, we will not be competitive at all. Therefore, our first task is to have our own mine. "

"Little bastard, it's easy for you to say. We just arrived in the imperial city, and we can't even tell how many roads there are in the city. Where can we find a mine?" Tang Xiaobao interjected.

Wang Ba gave the little fat man a blank look. Along the way, when Tang Xiaobao called his name, there was always a kid in front of him. He was obviously a mighty and domineering Ba, but when he spat it out, it turned into eight. He was annoyed by this, but There is nothing to do with the little fat man.

Eighth-level fighters are vulnerable in the eyes of others, but to Wang Ba, they are huge monsters. After practicing Iron Armor Kung Fu, the little fat man has a terrifyingly strong body defense. Wang Ba is short in stature and weak in strength, and even a knife cannot cut through him The thick layer of fat on Xiaobao's body can only stare blankly.

"There is a barren mountain in the southwest of Hongdu City. There is a mine deep in the mountain. It was originally the private property of a nobleman in Black Dragon City. Later, due to civil strife in the mine, the mine collapsed and was abandoned. When entering the city, I have inquired, it is now occupied by a group of bandits, as long as we get rid of them, the mine will be ours."

As expected of a natural logistics manager, Wang Ba was clearly prepared, and Mo Lin couldn't help but look at the dwarf in front of him again.

"You and I entered the city at the same time, when did you hear the news?"

Mo Lin was skeptical, if the mine hadn't been completely mined, how could the royal family and several big families not be jealous, and let a few bandits occupy it?
Wang Ba said with some pride: "I also got the news from the son of the owner of the mine by accident, because it is the property of the owner, and the major families in Hongdu City dare not make plans for it. Besides, the mine The field is extremely hidden. It used to be a poor mine, and the big families didn’t look down on it. It’s not worth offending people in Black Dragon City for it, but for us, it’s enough. In addition to the long time, many people have already forgotten it. , it is basically unowned, Mr. Lin, look, should we borrow it first?"

"If it is something without an owner, it would be a fool not to take advantage of it."

No matter how Wang Ba got the news, Mo Lin had raised his identity from half-belief to [-]%. I was really moved.

"Get ready today, and we'll set off tomorrow morning."

In order to ensure the safety of the soldiers of the Sword God Legion to the greatest extent, Mo Lin Xueben equipped each of them with a steel shield, and bought 56 ​​black-horned dragon horses from the horse market.

This kind of dragon horse, which has the blood of a monster and is known for its violent temperament, is not much faster than ordinary mounts. Its biggest advantages are endurance and load-bearing capacity. It can easily run for a whole day with a heavy load on it. Of course, the food intake is also astonishing. A dragon colt can eat three times as much food as an ordinary horse.

Early the next morning, Mo Lin took the Sword God Legion and Wang Ba and galloped out of the city at dawn.

This kind of fighting fat guy couldn't get in the way at all. After donating a bunch of pills, he hid in the house and started his dream-chasing journey as the number one pharmacist.

Ouyang Xueqing has no interest in eradicating bandits, and thinks that a bandit of this strength is not worth her shot at all. But it was the first time she left the mountain, and she was full of curiosity about the outside world. Coupled with Mo Lin's kind invitation, Reluctantly, he rode a leopard with him and rushed out of Hongdu City.

Let Ouyang Xueqing go with him, Mo Lin has his own ideas, the first is for safety, he just offended Miao Chun yesterday, who knows if they will retaliate, Ouyang Xueqing's strength has not recovered, leaving her alone at home is really uncomfortable Don't worry, it's safer to keep important things with you.

Secondly, what is the strength of the bandits? Wang Ba has not obtained accurate information. Based on the collected information, the strength of the Sword God Legion should be sufficient to deal with it, but who knows if there will be any accidents? Ouyang Xueqing's current cultivation base After recovering to a second-level martial artist, her real combat power is not much better than that of a fifth-level martial artist. Among everyone including Mo Lin, she is the strongest trump card. With her, she is more likely to win.Of course, unless it was absolutely necessary, Mo Lin would not let Ouyang Xueqing make a move.

After leaving the city, Wang Ba took out a map, followed the directions on the map, and ran for more than three hours before finding the barren mountain he mentioned.

Looking from a distance, the mountain is overgrown with weeds and jagged rocks, and there is no human habitation at all. It is [-] or [-] miles away from Hongdu City, and the surrounding area is desolate. It is a completely different world from the bustling and lively imperial city.

Along the rugged mountain road, a group of people walked slowly in the mountains, climbed over two ridges, passed through a dense forest, and finally found the mine that Wang Ba mentioned in a valley.
