Chapter 31 Master Luo Zi

Of course, as long as you look at the mortise and tenon steel ring on your neck, you will know that you are a slave even if you don't look at the name tag below.If it is an ordinary person, it is not this kind of non-detachable mortise and tenon steel ring, but an ordinary iron wire to hang the name tag.

Due to Ren Daoyuan's outstanding performance in the slave market, he was treated very differently from other slaves, so he was directly brought by Master Luo's side and prepared to be trained as an assistant.

This is Luo Zi's selfishness. As a master weapon supervisor, he still needs to lead apprentices to train craftsmen for the empire, but after those craftsmen are apprentices, they will naturally stand on their own and will not return to Luo Zi. Constantly changing people, Luo Zi will always be a novice by his side, which makes him extremely unhappy.Although novices are obedient, after all, their skills are not good enough, and they need long-term guidance. After the guidance is completed, the people leave, and they need to be taught...

Under such a cycle, Luo Zi is sometimes extremely distressed. If he wants to make an excellent weapon, a good assistant is indispensable.The appearance of Ren Daoyuan just solved this problem. He is a slave.No matter how good his craft is in the future, a slave is a slave, and he will never be free, let alone go out on his own. With such a person behind him, it will be much easier to forge weapons in the future.

With such thoughts, Luo Zi treats Ren Daoyuan very well, and this will be his manpower in the future.Not only did they prepare a lot of food and clothes for Ren Daoyuan, they took him to take a bath, they even prepared a separate room for him.Although the room is small, a slave can have his own room, which is the only one in the Ferro Iron Prison.

"Boy, what's your name?" After everything was packed, Luo Zi called Ren Daoyuan to his eyes and asked.

"Ren Daoyuan."

"Well, the name is good, and you will work with me from now on. Remember, don't be lazy and playful, you are indispensable for food and use, as long as you are obedient, no one will beat you." Luo Zi first taught him the rules, here It's Ferro Iron Prison, not any other place.

"Yes." Ren Daoyuan replied honestly, take a look first before talking, he likes to make a decision before making a move.Although the plan may not necessarily be successful, the chances are greater.

"Xiao Ren, if you are a descendant of the Baida Empire, and your family background is fine, you can tell me, and I will send someone to bring a letter to your family." As a great craftsman, Luo Zi is naturally not stupid, Let's get to the bottom of it first.

Ren Daoyuan shook his head: "Master Luo, I am from Qingzhou, not Yunzhou."

"That's it, then you should stop thinking about it and work hard here. Xiao Ren, remember, don't even think about escaping. After entering this iron prison, only those who die will get out, because a certain If they are released for any reason, no one can ever escape. Although it is very peaceful here, there are at least three lines of defense from here to the outside of the valley, and they are all guarded." Luo Zi said.

Ren Daoyuan nodded, it would be a ghost if there were no guards, half of the thousands of people in this weapon room were slaves.

Luo Zi continued: "Even if you can successfully escape from the weapon prison, it is useless. There are hundreds of miles around here, and there are Feiluo iron prisons, and there are guards everywhere. The name tag on your neck is your identity card. If you take Without a walking token, the guards would not ask the reason at all, and would kill them on the spot.”

There are not many slaves who want to escape every year, and no one can escape.If it's just a prison, no matter how well guarded it is, there will always be opportunities.But the iron prison has a radius of hundreds of miles, and the area is too large, no matter what method is not feasible.

As for the name tag on the neck, it cannot be opened at all unless you use a magic weapon.It is attached to the neck, and many methods cannot be used.

Early the next morning, Ren Daoyuan came to Luo Zi's residence early.Naturally, the other slaves did not have such a good fate. Before dawn, they were driven up by the guards to go to work.There is not a lot of heavy work in the weapons supervisor, but there are also a lot of chores. Even if there is no work, in order to consume the slaves’ excessive physical strength, they must find some work for them, even if it is just moving the iron from one end to the other. When they move back, they can't be left idle.The guards who have worked here for a long time know that slaves who are exhausted to death are good slaves. They fall asleep and have no energy to think about anything else.

Ren Daoyuan is considered a very special one. He has his own room and no guards to drive him to work.Ren Daoyuan thought that everyone else was like this and didn't care.Of course he didn't know that Mr. Fang Zu had just taken office, and needed to rely on Luo Zi, the only master craftsman in the Weapons Supervisor. Because of his own selfishness, Luo Zi needed Ren Daoyuan, a clever man who was a little bit astute, as his assistant.

In the Weapons Supervision, no one would offend Mr. Fang Zu, let alone Master Luo Zi.Because Luo Zi looked at Ren Daoyuan differently, he became the most special member of the entire Weapons Supervision with the badge of a slave.

Master Luo got up very early every day. After washing up, he first took Ren Daoyuan to meet Mr. Fang Zu, and explained how the weapon room works, and then he got to know the craftsmen. Superintendent, there is no need to know.

Next, Master Luo will go through all the craftsmen's rooms, give each craftsman the task of the day, watch the progress, and correct mistakes.It is also necessary to check the preparations and sundries, and check the completed weapons.I was busy until noon, and most of the work for this day was completed.

The afternoon was not idle, but Master Luo's own time. As a master, he not only had to supervise the operation of the entire weapon supervision, but he also had to forge weapons himself.

Of course, Master Luo is not making batches of standard weapons, but high-quality ones.Some of them were commissioned by officers from the Baida Empire, and some were related to Jaycee Fang. If there is time, Master Luo will make weapons he is satisfied with and improve his skills.

Every day from morning to night, Luo Dajiang was busy, but he was extremely busy.As a master craftsman of the first prison, Luo Zi is a special talent in the empire, and his status is not low. The whole family moved into the weapon prison, earning a lot of money, and living a very prosperous life.Apart from the lack of freedom, Luo Zi has no dissatisfaction with this kind of life.

You must know that in the mainland of Kyushu, the status of a craftsman is not high. Only when you reach the level of a craftsman can you live a better life.Below the craftsman, they are called craftsmen's households, which are worse than ordinary people.

Ren Daoyuan's body continued to recover, and his physical strength became better and better. Although blacksmithing is strong, it requires skill.Ren Daoyuan naturally doesn't know how to forge iron, but after all, he is a child of an aristocratic family, his knowledge is much better than that of ordinary people, and he has martial arts skills.

Luo Zi was satisfied, and his guidance was more meticulous than the few apprentices he brought. In half a month, Ren Daoyuan was already able to forge ordinary weapons independently.

Of course, Luo Zi wanted him here not to train him to be a master craftsman, but for his own convenience, so most of the time, he still worked for Master Luo and acted as a heavy hammer for him.

In the morning, Master Luo had something to do, so Ren Daoyuan had much more freedom. He could choose iron materials, forge weapons, and become familiar with the skills.

Day after day, in the blink of an eye, more than three months have passed in the weapons room, not only has his body fully recovered, but his skills have also reached a certain level.He has almost learned the basic skills of fire control, iron material, hammering, billeting, hammering, and iron melting, which makes Master Luo even more happy.

"That's right, I'm a quick learner." Master Luo looked at the steaming horizontal knife in his hand, and nodded with satisfaction. This horizontal knife was just made by Ren Daoyuan, and the technique was still a bit jerky. In Luo Zi's eyes, it had reached the level of a small knife. Craftsman's level.Luo Zi was certainly satisfied with reaching this level in three months. Ren Daoyuan was the smartest, quickest learner, and most willing to work hard among the people he took care of.

"Master, what should I learn next?" Ren Daoyuan placed himself in a correct position. During these days, he not only learned the knowledge of blacksmithing, but also saw what other slaves lived.Without a token in his hand, he couldn't get out of the weapon prison at all, and he didn't dare to take the risk of escaping because he was unfamiliar with the terrain.

"Next, I'm going to teach you some untold secrets. There are not many people who know this method in the entire Feiluo Iron Prison." Luo Zi said proudly. To become a master craftsman, he naturally has his own skills. unique means.

"I would like to ask Master for advice." Ren Daoyuan's life is not considered hard, but he can persist for a while, but every night, apart from practicing, he will be very homesick.I don't know what happened to my parents. Knowing that I was captured, I think it's very sad.

Luo Zi took out a dusty stone, handed it to Ren Daoyuan and said, "Look at what material this one is made of?"

As a blacksmith, identifying iron materials is a basic skill, and Ren Daoyuan has already learned about it. As long as he gets his hands on ordinary iron materials, there is nothing he can't see.But this piece of gray iron, in my hand, feels much heavier than ordinary iron, at least five times heavier, and I really can't tell what it is.

"It's so heavy, I can't tell." Ren Daoyuan weighed it in his hand and said.

Luo Zi laughed: "Xiao Ren, it's right if you don't see it. In the whole iron prison, there are many people who can recognize this thing. Be good, this thing is called a star stone, but it is extremely valuable Although it is only a small piece, it is worth at least a thousand gold coins."

"One thousand gold coins?" Even the young master of the Ren family, who has never been short of money, was really shocked when he heard this number.One must know that a high-quality Huan Shou Dao made of meteorite is only worth a hundred gold coins.

Although gold coins are made by all countries, the specifications and materials are the same. Therefore, no matter which country produces gold coins, they can be used in the Kyushu mainland.

One thousand gold coins from the Baida Empire are worth the same as those from the Fengyu Empire. How could such a small piece of ashes be so valuable?

"Xiao Ren, you are a quick learner, and today I will teach you some clever things. There are almost a hundred kinds of iron materials you have seen before. Refined iron, refined steel, meteoric iron, and black iron are all good iron materials. , is also the most common, but the real good things are not these.” Luo Zi said.

Refined iron is obtained by refining iron ore, fine steel needs to be forged to obtain, meteorite is a natural iron material, and black iron is processed from meteorite.
