Chapter 209 Report One by One

An hour later, in the front hall of the City Lord's Mansion.

Arthur Candil sat high in the main seat, looking down at the three young men who were bending over with their heads lowered.

His eyes swept across them one by one, and finally stopped at the red-haired young man on the right. He asked in a coercive tone: "Tell me, why did Lou Gao go to the Wuhun Main Hall?"

The red-haired young man is named Kuku Kandil, Arthur Kandil’s eldest son. He is twenty-five years old and a level 32 strong attack-type combat soul master.

Hearing the oppressive question in his ear, Kuku Kandil pursed his lips, swallowed the word "father", and replied in a low voice: "Teacher went to find Bishop Mingqi to discuss hunting the eighth soul ring for Master."

Arthur Candil, who had frowned because of Kuku Candil's cowardly look, immediately put aside his disgust and unhappiness when he heard the specific content of the words, and subconsciously murmured: "It's actually true..."

Then, he leaned forward a little, and asked with shining eyes: "Quick! Tell me, how did that old Tiefutu...how did he cultivate to level 80?"

"He's already over 80 years old, but he was able to break through. Hasn't he been stuck at level 79 for more than a decade?!"

If Bishop Mingqi of the Spirit Hall broke through to level 80, Arthur Candel would not be too surprised. He was only 42 years old and already a level 73 Soul Saint. In ten years at most, he would be able to charge towards the Soul Douluo realm.

But, what right does that old guy Tiefutu have?

He is an old man who is already in his eighties. He had already reached level 79 more than ten years ago. If he wanted to break through, why did he do it earlier? Why did he wait until now?

So, there must be some secret here!

This was Arthur Cundill's first reaction after he came to his senses after hearing the news from his squire Edgar.

For this reason, he didn't care what his eldest son was doing, nor did he care whether it would affect the other party's trust in Lou Gao. He directly called the other party back to the City Lord's Mansion and asked him directly.

Although Arthur Candel is only a level 65 Soul Emperor now, he is only in his 50s and has every hope of breaking through to level 79 before he is 80, just like Tiefutu.

If he could obtain the secret of Iron Pagoda's breakthrough, would it mean that he, Arthur Candel, would have a hope of becoming a Soul Douluo like his ancestor?

Hearing Arthur Kandil's question, Kuku Kandil lowered his head and smiled bitterly at the ground. He knew that this cold and tyrannical father did not care about his wishes at all. He had asked him to become a disciple of the president of the Blacksmith Association, the master craftsman Lou Gao, in order to further grasp the trends within the Blacksmith Association. He might also be planning to control the Blacksmith Association through his eldest son in the future.

At this moment, Kuku Kandil once again felt even more deeply touched by some of the words that Uncle Ling Yi had said before.

"Damn it, I'm asking you a question, are your ears lost in your slutty mother's belly?!"

As Kuku Candir was in a trance and did not reply immediately, the anxious Arthur Candir started cursing and grabbed the teacup at hand and smashed it at his eldest son.

"Bang! Click——"

The porcelain white teacup exploded above Kuku Kandil's head, and after a few seconds, the dazzling red blood flowed down quickly.

Blood dripped onto the stone slabs on the ground. Kuku Kandil did not cry out in pain, and did not even move from his standing position. He still lowered his head, his body trembling slightly, and said in a timid and low voice:

"Father...Father, I...I thought about it carefully. I haven't seen my master since I became his disciple half a year ago.

But...but, I heard from my teacher that my master comprehended a higher level of forging skills a year ago, and thus experienced a baptism in spirit, a kind of epiphany, which led to him finding the opportunity to make further progress.

Even so, it took a year to completely grasp that insight and break the barrier of soul power..."

Kuku Kandil spoke slowly, with an appearance of fear and panic. But if someone came out of the ground and looked up, they would see indifference, calmness, and murderous intent in his blood-stained eyes, but there was no fear.

The slow speaking pace gave Kuku Kandil time to recall some of the words his uncle Ling Yi had said to him. It also allowed Arthur Kandil to listen more carefully, and while listening, he considered the authenticity of these words.

It's not that Arthur Candil thought Kuku Candil was lying. In his opinion, this cowardly eldest son didn't have the courage to deceive him. Arthur Candil was just subconsciously on guard, wondering if the Blacksmiths Association would make up some lies to keep a secret and use his stupid eldest son to deceive him.

For example, did that old guy Tiefutu get a ten thousand year soul bone? Or some other magical treasure, which allowed him to break the barrier and increase his soul power to level 80?

Compared to the old man who relied on the illusory "epiphany", Arthur Candel hoped that the other party would rely on treasures such as the ten thousand year soul bone. Only in this way would he have hope of planning something.

With this thought in mind, Arthur Candil no longer paid attention to his eldest son whose head was still bleeding. He turned his gaze to the other brown-haired young man and asked, "Mosan, tell me, did Tiefutu really gain any insights and progress in forging a year ago?"

"Mr. Earl~" Mosan bowed 90 degrees first, and then before Arthur Candel's impatient expression appeared, he answered directly: "I have reported to Mr. Edgar before. Around September last year, President Lou Gao mobilized a large number of precious metal raw materials through the association."

Hearing this, Arthur Kandil turned his gaze to the last blond young man.

Edgar felt the gaze that was as real as his own, and nodded quickly, saying, "That is indeed the case. At that time, according to your instructions, the City Lord's Mansion took the opportunity to increase the price by 10% and made a profit from the transfer fee—"

“Yeah.” Arthur Candel also remembered it, but at that time, he used the gold soul coins to buy an obsidian lion statue, which was a masterpiece of Master Linley Baruch!

The vivid sculpture in the treasure room under the bedroom flashed through Arthur Kandil's mind, and he turned his gaze back to the brown-haired young man, Mosan: "Continue."

'call--'

Edgar breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, secretly sighing that fortunately he did not forget Mr. Ling Yi's instructions and kept these relatively eye-catching details in mind. At the critical moment, it was really effective in dealing with the city lord Arthur Candel.

"My Lord Earl, although President Lou Gao did not tell other people in the association what those precious metal raw materials were used for, during that period, both President Lou Gao and the former president, Mr. Tie Fu Tu, were always cheerful, as if they had encountered some particularly good news..."

Mosan, who was standing between Kuku Kandil and Edgar, was still respectful. He remembered Mr. Ling Yi's instructions wholeheartedly. Whether it was his body movements, the sound of his words, or even his expression with his head down looking at the ground, he showed respect.

Chapter 210 Character Modeling

"Gengxin City", the main hall of Wuhun.

Standing in front of a window more than fifty meters above the ground, Mingqi fell into deep thought as he looked at the tall figure walking onto the street below and blending into the crowd.

To be honest, Ming Qi had no contempt or disdain for Lou Gao and the Blacksmith Association. He was also born into a lower-class civilian family, from Heitie Village, 50 miles south of Gengxin City, and did not have any pretentious and noble ideas.

Of course, he didn't have much thought of paying attention to or getting close to them. He just treated Lou Gao and the [Blacksmith Association] as an ordinary soul master and an ordinary force.

Soul Emperors like Lou Gao and forces like the [Blacksmith Association], let alone the entire Douluo Continent, even within a thousand miles of Gengxin City, as far as Ming Qi knows, there are no less than two hands of soul masters and soul master families of similar strength.

The only thing that made Lou Gao different from the Blacksmith Association was that he was a professional blacksmith. No matter how high the title of "Godsmith" sounded, he was still a blacksmith. The Blacksmith Association was not a family power with blood as the bond, but a relatively loose association where a group of blacksmiths gathered together to keep each other warm.

This kind of power structure made Qi subconsciously think of the [Spirit Hall].

But in just a moment, Qi put this idea far away.

He didn't know why he suddenly had such a funny idea. Although they were all forces gathered together by members of different martial spirits and different places, it was a bit funny to compare the [Blacksmith Association] to the [Martial Spirit Hall].

The two are not at the same level at all. The Spirit Hall has branch halls and sub-hallways in every city, town, and village in Douluo Continent. What does the Blacksmith Association have...

Well, there are indeed blacksmith shops in these places. Even in some villages, there are the most rudimentary blacksmith shops.

Qi laughed out loud for no apparent reason. He felt a little amused by this sudden idea that came to his mind.

Of course he knew that the most important reason why the [Spirit Hall] and the [Blacksmith Association] were so different was that the gap in strength between the two was too huge.

In the [Spirit Hall], there are the Douluo Hall and the Elder Hall, which are dedicated to enshrining Titled Douluo.

What is the Blacksmith Guild?

[Spirit Hall] In the two imperial capitals, there is a Spirit Hall, and the principals are all platinum bishops, and their strength is above the Soul Douluo level. There are four platinum bishops in [Spirit Hall], but it does not mean that there are only four Soul Douluos in the Spirit Hall!

What is the Blacksmith Guild?

[Spirit Hall] There is a main hall in each of the hundreds of big cities on the mainland. Among the people in charge, the powerful ones like him, Mingqi, are seven-ringed Spirit Saints, and the weaker ones are six-ringed Spirit Emperors!

[Blacksmith Association] How many Soul Saints are there? How many Soul Emperors?

In addition, the [Spirit Hall] also has the three major organizations of temple guards: the Temple Knights who start from the Soul King level, and the Holy Emperor Knights and Douluo Warriors who start from the Soul Emperor level.

【Blacksmith Guild】……

never mind--

Ming Qi shook his head, retracted his thoughts that were flying further and further away, and began to think about the request that Lou Gao mentioned when he visited him before.

"Help Tiefutu and go to the Golden Sand Desert to hunt for the eighth soul ring?" Mingqi hesitated.

On the one hand, his current strength was level 73, and although he still needed at least six or seven years of training to reach level 80, he could also experience the atmosphere of hunting for the eighth soul ring in advance, and watch up close the experience of an eighty-level soul master absorbing the eighth soul ring and breaking through to the Soul Douluo level. This was actually quite good, and it was considered a precaution.

On the other hand, Lou Gao said that they would not look for powerful soul beasts that were more than 50,000 years old, and there was a certain guarantee of safety. This could indeed dispel many concerns for Ming Qi.

The most important thing is one hundred thousand gold soul coins!

That’s 100,000 gold soul coins!

He, Mingqi, joined the Spirit Hall since his spirit awakened at the age of six. Under the training of the Spirit Hall, he practiced step by step to the current Soul Sage strength, and step by step ascended to the position of the leader of the Spirit Hall of Gengxin City. Although he has accumulated some assets, he cannot exchange his conscience and integrity for wealth, and now he has only more than 20,000 gold soul coins in cash.

You have to know that the Wuhun Main Hall is the Wuhun Main Hall, and he, Mingqi, is just the bishop. He cannot spend the Main Hall's money to do Mingqi's things.

If he sold off the properties in Gengxin City, he could report to Wuhun City with a net worth of more than 50,000 gold soul coins.

Fifty thousand gold soul coins may sound like a lot, but if one wants to buy a better house in Wuhun City, it may not be enough.

After all, it was the "Martial Soul City", where His Majesty the Pope, a group of elders worshiping His Majesty, His Excellency the Platinum Bishop, and many cardinals lived. It was okay for him, a "little" Soul Saint, to live in the small courtyard assigned to him, but if he wanted to live in a more spacious place, wouldn't he have to make some arrangements?

So, did Lou Gao and Tie Fu Tu accept this request?

Mingqi asked herself this question in her heart.

However, the problem now is that there is only more than a month left before he reports to Wuhun City.

Is this enough time for him to help Tie Fu Tu find a suitable soul beast in the "Golden Sand Desert" and hunt it down successfully?

Another thing is, during his absence, what will happen to the affairs of the main hall of Gengxin City? How will the new administrator, the bishop, take over?

At this moment, Lou Gao's words echoed in Ming Qi's ears again:

"... Bishop, we soul masters sometimes have to think about ourselves...

...Douluo Continent is so big, no matter who you are, the sun will still rise and the moon will set, and the seasons will change, and nothing will change...

...Under your management, the Gengxin City Wuhun Main Hall has always been in good order. Now that the new bishop is about to arrive, if you let go appropriately, it will actually be a good thing for the deacons under the main hall and the future new bishop..."

In the central area of ​​Gengxin City, the Blacksmiths Association Headquarters.

On the fifth floor, in the No. 1 foundry room, as soon as Lou Gao pushed open the door, he heard Ling Yi's voice:

"... Qi and blood are both deficient. So, Uncle Master, I think that if you want to increase the success rate of spiritual forging, 'blood sacrifice' is not a shortcut... Hmm? Senior brother is back?"

Ling Yi turned around and looked at Lou Gao who had just entered the room. He smiled and greeted him, then asked, "How is it going? Did Bishop Ming Qi say he would need a few days to think about it?"

"Three days." Lou Gao raised his right hand, clasped his thumb over his index finger, and made a gesture in reply.

"Three days?" Ling Yi nodded and said, "It seems that Bishop Mingqi is still very tenacious—"

"Besides, being cautious and prudent is a good thing—"

Hearing Ling Yi's words, Lou Gao was a little puzzled and asked curiously: "What do you mean? Is there any particular meaning to this?"

Ling Yi spread his hands and said, "First of all, he didn't agree to it just because of your 100,000 gold soul coins. This shows that he is not the kind of greedy person who is blinded by money..."

During this year or so, Ling Yi was not only working as a blacksmith and practicing with his girlfriend in Gengxin City, he also took the time to help Lou Gao completely control the Blacksmith Association, and then expanded the influence of the association to every aspect of Gengxin City, without leaving any traces, and everything was done silently.

During this process, Ling Yi got a preliminary understanding of all the people in Gengxin City, whether they were powerful and capable, famous and well-known, or even a group of street thugs.

This is equivalent to having an omniscient perspective. When you start doing things again, you will definitely be assisted by God and everything will go smoothly.

Of course, there was no need for Ling Yi to show off these overly detailed things in front of Lou Gao and Tiefutu.

Therefore, Ling Yi has a character model in his sea of ​​consciousness regarding City Lord Arthur Candir, Bishop Mingqi and others. He has a certain understanding of their strength, personality, and their usual words, deeds and behavioral habits.

Similarly, if we put ourselves in Bishop Mingqi's perspective and conduct relevant analysis, I wouldn't say the accuracy is 100%, but it's pretty close.

It’s not that Ling Yi wanted to show off in front of Tie Fu Tu and his disciple Lou Gao.
