Chapter 405 Lord of Qirui City, Vary Goode
"I almost forgot, shouldn't I have received the Eight Hammers of the Clouds as well?"
The words echoed in the empty hall.
Ted's chest suddenly puffed out, and a hoarse "hoarse" sound came from his throat.
He pointed at Chen You, his finger trembling like a leaf in the wind.
"You...you..."
"puff--"
A jet of blood spurted from Tie De's mouth, turning into a cloud of blood mist in mid-air.
The lord of East Iron City rolled his eyes and fell straight backward.
"City Lord!"
"The city lord has vomited blood!"
The surrounding dwarf guards and NPC blacksmiths were immediately thrown into chaos, rushing over to do something.
The players were dumbfounded.
"Good heavens, he literally vomited blood from anger."
Chen You remained expressionless.
According to the rules, that copy of "Xia Ji Ba Chui" should have been given to him.
Even if it might not be useful, it's better to take advantage of it.
He turned to look at Grandmaster Bronzebeard.
Copperbeard was currently holding the book that emitted a purple-gold light, and he shrank back a little.
Following the system's procedures, Chen You gained the approval of ten senior blacksmiths, and the book "Xia Ji Ba Chui" was indeed due to be given to him.
But seeing Tie De so angry that his life was hanging in the balance, he hesitated again.
What if the city lord wakes up and causes him trouble?
"This...this manual..." Copperbeard stammered, trying to stall for time.
Before Chen You could even speak, the iron felt at his feet started to stir.
"Old man, are you deaf? Didn't you hear my boss asking for the secret manual?!"
Iron Felt's golden eyes glared, and its four short legs kicked off the floor.
"Bang!"
The ancestral iron felt, weighing several thousand kilograms, jumped two meters high.
It traced a black parabola in mid-air and struck Copperbeard's belly precisely.
"Ouch!"
Copperbeard let out a scream as he was sent flying backward, the "Eight Hammers of the Clouds" flying out of his hand.
The iron felt made a nimble tumble in mid-air, catching the purple-gold book steadily with its broad, flat back.
Landing.
Its four short legs moved swiftly, leaving a blur of motion, before it slid down to its knees in front of Chen You.
"Boss, your secret recipe! I've brought it to you!"
Chen You bent down and picked up the book "Xiaji Bachui" from the iron felt back.
The moment my fingertips touched the ancient cover, a system notification sounded.
[Ding! Ancient forging technique "Eight Hammers of the Clouds" detected. Do you wish to learn it?]
"Study," Chen You silently repeated to himself.
The book in his hand transformed into a dazzling purple-gold light, which pierced through Chen You's arm and entered his brow.
[Skill: Eight Hammers of the Clouds (Unique Mythical Level)]
[Description: A supreme technique left behind by the ancient god of forging.]
[Effect 1: Forging success rate increased by 100%, with a 30% chance of raising the quality of the finished product by one major level.]
[Effect 2: When using hammer-type weapons, there is a certain chance to deal shock damage to the target that ignores defense and stun them for 1.5 seconds.]
[Note: When it comes to blacksmithing, I'm serious. When it comes to hitting people, I'm even more serious.]
Chen You raised an eyebrow.
Not only is it a god-level blacksmithing skill, but it's also a large-area AOE crowd control skill.
During a fight, he pulls out a hammer and starts forging iron on the spot, stunning his opponent while doing so?
The scene was too beautiful, and Chen You decided that he would not try it unless absolutely necessary.
He clapped his hands and turned off the skill panel.
The matter of Dongtiecheng is finished, the mark on the Contract Silk has been obtained, and the secret manual has been acquired.
It's time to move on to the next stop.
Chen You turned and walked towards the gate.
"Boss! Boss, where are you going?! Take me with you!"
Iron Felt was jumping up and down in a panic, its four short legs desperately trying to catch up.
Chen You stopped and looked back at it.
"Boss! Take me with you, boss!" The iron felt clung tightly to Chen You's right leg, its metal body sparking a series of sparks as it scraped against the ground.
"I can warm your bed! I can tell jokes! Just 100 gold coins a day, and I guarantee you'll be satisfied!"
Chen You looked down at it, his tone indifferent: "You're just a piece of iron, what are you doing warming a bed?"
"I can heat it up! It can reach a maximum temperature of three thousand degrees!" Iron Felt hurriedly argued.
Chen You checked the time.
The ten minutes that were bought out for two thousand gold coins are down to the last minute.
When the time comes, the felt will turn back into an inanimate object.
"Let go." Chen You's voice was completely flat.
Iron Felt reluctantly released its front legs, slumped to the ground, and uttered a wronged, mechanical voice: "Boss, you can't just cut me off like that."
"I've offended everyone in East Iron City. Once you leave, they'll definitely send me back to school for a makeshift retraining."
"They don't dare." Chen You patted the hard iron felt on his head.
"You're my employee now. Stay here and keep an eye on East Titsujo for me. I'll give you a bonus next time I come."
Iron Felt's eyes lit up: "Really? How much is the bonus?"
"It depends on your performance," Chen You casually made a promise.
Ignoring the grateful shouts of the iron felt behind him, Chen You strode out of the forging hall.
The players and NPCs who remained in place looked at each other, none daring to approach the ancestral iron felt that had completely betrayed them.
Standing by the roadside, Chen You summoned the Nine Nether Devouring Kun once again.
"Let's go to Qirui City."
The giant Kun let out a long, drawn-out cry, its tail fin swaying as it tore through space and disappeared.
……
Qirui City.
Chen You put away his mount and walked into the city.
Pink banners hung on both sides of the street: "The God of Source guides me to debut in the center position."
A group of heavily armored Templar Knights stood in a square formation at the crossroads.
They carried no weapons. They swayed their hips in unison to the drumbeats from the magical megaphone.
The lead knight shouted, "For the glory of the Source God, please vote for contestant number three!"
Chen You pressed his temples.
This talent show craze is so intense that he's even a little uneasy.
He had previously visited Qirui City in connection with the mysterious merchant.
However, I was in a hurry at the time and didn't get a good look at the city.
Looking at it now, the entire city is a huge religious fortress.
The architectural style is somewhat European, with numerous spires and intricate religious symbols visible on the walls.
We walked to the city center.
The city lord's mansion is a towering domed cathedral.
The gate was tightly shut, and two heavily armored Templar Knights with crossed halberds blocked the way.
"The city lord is listening to divine sounds; all bystanders, please step aside." The knight on the left spoke in a cold, hard voice.
Chen You didn't say anything, but with a flick of his wrist, two heavy bags of gold coins fell to the ground.
The bag opened, and the golden light stung the knight's eyes.
The knight paused, and his halberd was instantly retracted.
The two bent down to pick up the gold coins, their movements so practiced it was almost heartbreaking.
"The God of Source says you are a destined guest." The knight on the right pushed open the heavy, bronze-clad door and bowed, gesturing for you to enter.
Chen You stepped inside.
The main hall was dimly lit, and the dome was painted with intricate creation murals.
In the very center stands a ten-meter-tall faceless statue, its hands outstretched, each palm holding a massive bronze balance.
Below the statue, a middle-aged man dressed in a pure white robe with gold thread had his back to the door, kneeling on both knees with his hands clasped together.
Chen You glanced at the ID above his head.
【Lord of Qirui City - Vairigod】
That's a wonderful name.
