Leader of the Ark Raiders

From a distance, the appearance is magnificent and the outline is majestic.

The thick three-level platform supports the earth, and the colonnade surrounds it and forms a deep shadow inside, forming the effect of virtual and real.

Shen Cangye walked casually, casually looking at the posters on the notice board outside the yard.

There is a saying in Minos—never mess with a blacksmith.

This fully demonstrates the extremely high status of craftsmen in Minos.

And Minos is also a country famous for its artisan skills.

The god of fire from Minos was an excellent blacksmith.

In her blacksmith shop, there are all kinds of the most advanced machines today, and they will be updated every once in a while.

Shen Cangye was carefully reading the history of the Minoan Craftsman Association when he was suddenly tapped on the shoulder.

"My God, is it really you, Brother Cang Ye?"

Shen Cangye turned around in surprise, and saw a strange face.

It was a black-haired girl with plump hoofs, dark brown pupils, and a little bit of the softness of the Yan people, but with curved horns.

"You... okay?" Shen Cangye thought, don't be someone he knew before.

"Brother Cang Ye, you are so noble and forgetful, you don't even remember your deskmate in middle school? I'm Manisa." The girl with Feng Hoo smiled and said, "You used to like to pinch my face, forget?"

"Oh, hello, I'm sorry." Shen Cangye quickly apologized, "You have changed a lot."

He said in his heart, even if you tell me who you are, I can't remember it.

But in any case, it is basically correct for someone who has not met for a long time to say "you have changed a lot".

"Aha, the elders all say that I'm an 'Eighteen Change of Women's University'." Manisa popped out a Yan Guo proverb.

Shen Cangye looked at her appearance and name, and it seemed that she was a mixed blood of Yan Kingdom and Minos.

Presumably she studied in Yan Kingdom, and later came to Minos.

The two chatted casually.

The chatterbox opened, and they simply stood on the side of the street and chatted.

When Manisa talked about middle school, Shen Cangye had no choice but to respond casually, and changed the subject without a trace.

"How did you come to Minos?" he asked casually.

"Hey!" Manisa patted her forehead, "Isn't it because my dad insisted that I come back to Minos and said that I should inherit his business, and the result was that I got a idle job in the craftsman's association... ah, I'm so happy I miss the dishes of Yan Kingdom!"

"Everyone who left Yan Country had the same thought." Shen Cangye laughed.

Only then did he lower his head and found that Manisa had the work card of the Craftsman Association hanging on her chest.

"Your father is from the Craftsman Association?" Shen Cangye asked.

Manisa nodded, "It's a director of the association, but the craftsmen's association is a bunch of old guys, and a 'young man' like my dad has no part to speak at all."

Shen Cangye laughed, "Isn't that good? Blacksmiths are very respected in Minos. Anyway, the Artisan Association should be one of the largest professional associations in Minos, right?"

Manisa sighed, "Actually, the artisan association is getting worse every year. This industry association was established very early when labor rights were not guaranteed. It is responsible for communication, supervision, and coordination. Organization. Now that various security regulations have been perfected, many young blacksmiths are no longer developing in Minos, and the Craftsman Association is also declining and the funds are insufficient. This year's competition has to take out the precious secret forging formula drawings as prizes .”

"So that blueprint is an undisclosed secret!" Shen Cangye exclaimed.

"Do you think!"

Shen Cangye didn't quite understand, "The funds are insufficient, why didn't you find a sponsor?"

Manisa spread her hands, "It's not because of those stubborn old guys! You don't understand, that group of old blacksmiths in the craftsman's association who drink too much! They always say something in their mouths, 'Partners who don't get drunk together are not real. Partners', the sponsors I managed to get from Colombia, were scared away when they said, 'If you don't drink, you won't sign the contract', who should I turn to for reason? collapsed!"

Shen Cangye didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "There are not many Minoans I've met who don't like alcohol. Should it be said that this is due to genetics?"

"I don't like drinking." Manisa said, "In this artisan association, there are a group of old guys who drink too much every day, and I can't find a match."

Shen Cangye just laughed, "Are you actually struggling with the problem of not being able to find a partner?"

Manisa suddenly came over and pinched his face, "Then are you troubled by this problem?"

"Ah, why are you pinching my face!" Shen Cangye jumped away.

"Who made you always pinch my face when you were in school!" Manisa snorted, "Handsome Shen, why don't we make do with each other?"

"No, no, I can't afford to be the daughter of the Craftsman Association." Shen Cangye laughed.

The two are hurting each other with your words.

Suddenly a timid voice was heard.

"Doctor Shen?"

Shen Cangye turned his head and saw Maria holding her toolbox, looking at them in bewilderment.

"You are?" Manisa asked suspiciously.

Xiao Linguang blinked and looked at Manisa.

--Who is this guy!

Why are you still pinching his face intimately?

Too much too much!

I haven't pinched it yet!

No, I have to find a way to win the round!

What should I do?

Want to hold his hand?

Or take his arm?

No, no, this doesn't seem to work, does it?

Sister Xia Guang is currently facing the greatest crisis in her life.

752. What are you laughing at?I remember happy things

Just as Maria was hanging up online, thinking about how to make a comeback.

"Maria." Shen Cangye greeted, "The preliminaries are over? So soon?"

"En." Xiao Linguang nodded.

But her gaze still wandered to the girl with abundant feet standing beside Shen Cangye from time to time.

Maria thought about it, but felt that this answer was not powerful enough.

So she added, "The first round of qualifiers is a written test, and I got full marks!"

"It's great!" Shen Cangye gave a thumbs up.

Manisha on the side wowed, "Really? You got full marks on that paper?"

Maria looked at Manisa unexpectedly.

Shen Cangye quickly introduced, "This is Manisa, my old classmate, a staff member of the Craftsman Association."

The...staff of the Artisan Guild?

It was only then that Maria noticed the work card hanging on the chest of the plump hoof.

In other words, she is the one who organizes the competition, and she is just a participant in the competition...

As soon as the comparison was made, Maria's aura immediately faltered.

At the same time, she couldn't help but conceived in her mind a scene in which the craftsmen's association looked down on her, but she turned the tables in the forging competition and shocked the audience.

Of course, the reason why YY is called YY is because it is almost impossible to appear in reality.

In the end, Xiao Linguang just said in a low voice: "Hi, I'm Dr. Shen's friend, and my name is Maria."

But for the sake of dignity, she resolutely took a step closer to Shen Cangye.

Manisa blinked, as if she understood something.

She smiled and said: "Maria is amazing. For so many years, no one has ever gotten a perfect score in the pen test papers produced by our blacksmithing competition. I really underestimate the young people now. Next year we have to increase the difficulty. "

Shen Cangye rubbed Xiao Linguang's ears, "So you are a hidden king, and I am worried about you. I will treat you to a big meal, three meals."

After being praised by her like this, Maria's face immediately lit up, but her tone was still very modest, "It's nothing, hehe, the main reason is that with you and me, my luck will be particularly good."

Her courage was amplified again, she simply took another step closer, and grabbed Shen Cangye's sleeve.

Manisa couldn't help laughing at the girl's awkward look, and said helplessly, "Okay, I won't bother you two anymore, do you have any plans for the future?"

"We will take a look around the city of Yassanus." Shen Cangye said.

Manisa smiled and waved, "Then I wish you a good time."

The two were about to leave when Shen Cangye paused again.

He walked up to Manisa, leaned close to her ear, and lowered his voice, "Manisa, is it convenient for me to reveal tomorrow's preliminaries?"

Manisa glared at him, "Do you want me to be selfish? No way!"

"Okay, okay." Shen Cangye had no choice but to give up.

They walked a few steps, and Manisa shouted from behind, "Don't forget to bring the toolbox tomorrow, heck, I'll use it anyway."

The two looked at each other and understood.

Tomorrow's preliminaries will be practical exercises—that is, on-site forging competitions.

Seeing them walking away side by side, Manisa rubbed her chin playfully, "Ah, this shy little girl, I hope I didn't mess things up."

The two turned a street corner, and Shen Cangye said, "Don't you want a car? Where are we going? Or do you have anything you want to eat? I'll treat you to it."

Maria smiled shyly, "Why don't I treat you to milk tea, obviously I asked you to come and accompany me, so how dare you ask me to eat again."

Shen Cangye smiled, "That's good, invite me."

however.

On the streets of Minos, there are more bars than restaurants and kiosks combined.

After walking for more than half an hour, they realized that there was no milk tea shop on this street at all.

— Only the bar.

The two looked at each other for two seconds, and had no choice but to enter a bar.

"Doctor Shen, this is unavoidable, and I don't want to drink alcohol, so you can't blame me for this reason." Sister Xia Guang seriously defended herself.

"It's okay to just drink a little." Shen Cangye said.

Maria walked to the bar first.

After taking two steps, she suddenly stopped the car.

"What's wrong?" Shen Cangye was behind, almost bumping into her.

"It's Sister Cast Iron." Maria grabbed him, turned around and ran away.

Feng Ti inside was sitting by the bar, seemed to have seen them, and called out.

"What's the situation?" Shen Cangye was dragged by Maria and ran all the way in a daze, without understanding the situation at all.

"I saw... Huh... Sister Cast Iron... If she finds us... she will tell Aunt Zofia." Maria explained intermittently as she ran.

"Huh? She has already seen us!" Shen Cangye said helplessly.

Xiao Linguang began to deceive himself, "She was wrong! Well, she was wrong!"

"But, what's wrong with telling Zofia? Can she still eat you?" Shen Cangye still didn't understand.

"You don't understand!" Maria flicked her tail.

Suddenly, she stopped.

The two unknowingly ran to a strange street.

This seems to be a small alley in an uninhabited street, the scenery is very sparse, empty, and even the street lights are in disrepair.

"Huh? Where is this?" Maria looked blankly at the street scene, and subconsciously leaned towards the people around her.

"You led the way." Shen Cangye glanced at her.
