Chapter 18 The Crisis of the Blacksmith

After saying goodbye to the president, Lin Feng hurriedly left.

The Artifact Refiner Guild was very fast. As soon as Lin Feng left, his information was registered with the Artifact Refiner Guild. The Jianglong County Artifact Refiner Guild immediately submitted files to the superior Artifact Refiner Guild. Lin Feng's personal information will be permanently archived in the Artifact Refiner Guild. After all, although there are many Samsung Artifact Refiner, it is extremely limited to allocate it to each county.

Take Jianglong County as an example. There are five four-star weapon refiners in Jianglong County, and there are a few three-star weapon refiners, totaling 32. What is amazing is that one-third of the weapon refiners are almost all on-the-job staff of the Artifact Refiners Guild. The powerful influence of the Artifact Refiners Guild is fully reflected in this aspect.

"It's that boy!" Lin Feng's figure leaving hurriedly was seen by the sharp-eyed Dong Ge.

His partner was stunned: "So fast?" Then he smiled again, "I understand, this guy must have not even passed the level of fire in the palm of his body and was eliminated directly." He had never seen anyone who could complete the casting in such a short time.

Brother Dong thought of the smile on Lin Feng's face when he left, and immediately raised his eyebrows: "No."

"Ah?" The partner didn't understand what Dong Ge meant, and asked, "Dong Ge means that he passed the level of fire, but he failed in the casting process?"

However, Brother Dong shook his head: "I don't mean that." He pointed to Lin Feng's departure back, "He looks very happy, not like he failed the assessment."

If the assessment fails, he usually looks listless. How could he be so happy?

"Does Dong Ge think he passed the assessment of the Samsung weapon refiner, right?" his partner opened his eyes wide, "Brother Dong Ge, look at his body, it is probably only one-star or two-star warrior apprentice. Such power, let alone the assessment of the Samsung weapon refiner, or the assessment of the one-star weapon refiner, is probably very difficult." He obviously did not agree with Dong Ge's speculation.

But it was not his fault. Lin Feng's body looked too thin, but his muscles were extremely solid, and his strength was contained in the inconspicuous muscles. His explosive power was no worse than that of a four-star warrior apprentice.

Anyone who sees Lin Feng will be misleading.

So Lin Feng's body is a pig and eating tiger type. Whoever underestimates him will often suffer a great loss!

"You wait here first, I'll go in and take a look." Brother Dong was very upset. He knew that this was unlikely, but he couldn't help but doubt it, so he said to his partner: "I'll be back soon after a stick of incense." If he didn't ask about this matter clearly, he would definitely not be able to sleep tonight.

But his partner disagreed: "It still needs to be seen? In my opinion, that kid must be pretending, afraid that we will be laughing at." The more he said, he became more and more sure of his guess, "If it weren't for this, why would he have walked so fast as soon as he came out?" If he had passed the Samsung weapon refiner assessment, he would definitely show off. Lin Feng did not do this, so he naturally seemed guilty.

"Okay, what the result is? I'll know when I go in and take a look." Brother Dong said.

"Okay, then you go, I'll stay here first." My partner knew Dong Ge's personality and did not stop him.

Brother Dong hurried into the hall of the Artifact Refiner Guild and found the female colleague who was responsible for the file registration.

"Xiaomi, is anyone passing the Samsung weapon refiner assessment today?" Dong Ge asked.

Xiaomi looked at Brother Dong in surprise: "How do you know?"

Brother Dong was stunned: "I guessed it?" He swallowed, "That kid really passed the assessment of the Three Star Weapon Refiner?" The Three Star Weapon Refiner has a higher status than the fourth-level samurai, and even compared with the fifth-level samurai, it is still better than that of the fifth-level samurai. Such people will be regarded as guests of honor wherever they go.

He couldn't believe that the little guy who seemed to be under twenty years old actually passed the Samsung weapon refiner assessment!

"Speaking of this, this Samsung weapon refiner is the most special one I have ever seen." Xiaomi said with a strange look.

Brother Dong asked, "Where is special?"

While sorting out the information, Xiaomi said: "The power of this Samsung weapon refiner is in the stage of the apprenticeship of the Samsung samurai, but has passed the assessment of the Samsung weapon refiner. It takes only one-third of the time he takes to cast a weapon by another Samsung weapon refiner. Even the president praised the quality of the weapon. Are you very special?"

"Sanxing Samurai Apprentice. It must be him." Although there were speculations, after being confirmed by Xiaomi, Dong Ge was still a little unbelievable. "Sanxing weapon refiner of the Samsung Samurai Apprentice?" He was a little confused. He didn't know how to evaluate it. He could only say that the world is too crazy.

"And, he is only nineteen years old." Xiaomi slowly dropped a bombshell.

Nineteen years old, three-star samurai apprentice, three-star weapon refiner!

Is this a waste or a genius?

Brother Dong's mind was in a mess and walked out of the hall in a daze.

"Brother Dong, what's wrong with you?" My partner felt that Brother Dong was in a bad mood, so he walked over and patted Brother Dong and asked with concern.

Brother Dong calmed down, took a deep breath, and said, "I passed, that kid really passed the assessment of the Samsung weapon refiner."

"His?" his partner's eyes were rounded, "Sanxing Weapon Refiner?"

...

There are people coming and going on the streets, flowing endlessly.

Although Jianglong County is a poor county, the county town is still very prosperous, and the so-called poverty is only relative.

Lin Feng has been to Jianglong County for more than a month, but he has never visited the county town well.

This time I go out and enjoy the scenery along the way.

"Hoho..."

Several carriages passed through the middle of the street, and pedestrians on the street avoided them.

At this time, Xu Ji's blacksmith shop had a big mark on the carriage, which was a domineering sword.

A group of warriors followed around the carriage. It was obvious that the shopkeeper Xu Liang specially invited to escort the goods. These warriors had both high and low strength, but their status was obviously not as good as those blacksmith masters in the blacksmith shop, and their salary was far lower than those blacksmith masters.

"Huh..." Lin Feng's eyes were stopped on the carriage, and a piece of weapon was exposed on one side of the cargo box, which was the handle of a knife.

What surprised Lin Feng was that there was actually a mark on the hilt of the knife.

If he remembered correctly, the mark happened to be exactly the same as the mark of the weapon he forged. He remembered that the staff said at the beginning that only the weapons he forged needed markings in the entire blacksmith shop, and no one else needed it, because among all the blacksmith masters, only his salary was calculated based on commission.

Lin Feng followed, glanced at him a few more times, and found that the weapons in the box were all the weapons he forged!

"Strange, why are all the weapons I forged?" Lin Feng was puzzled, "Where are they going to transport them?"

Such large-scale delivery of weapons is very rare in Xuji Blacksmith Shop, but these weapons are all cast by Lin Feng.

Lin Feng quietly followed several carriages, and soon the carriage arrived at the destination.

This is an inn, with a sign hanging high in front of the inn door: Manjushri Inn.

"Isn't this the inn that Uncle Yang and I stayed when we first came to the county town?" Lin Feng vaguely remembered the name of the inn. After staying here for two days, he still had some impression of it. "Did the shopkeeper of this inn buy all the weapons I forged? Why did he buy so many weapons?" It's not a weapon store, why did he buy so many weapons?

Lin Feng was full of doubts, but no one explained it to him.

After a while, he gave up and continued to search for the answers and returned along the same path.

...

"Shopkeeper Xu, I know I'm sorry for you to do this. You have been kind to me. If you hadn't taken me in, I would not have achieved what I have achieved today. I will always remember this. But the water flows to the lower part and people walk to the higher part. The conditions offered by Storekeeper Chen are so good that I can't refuse. So, I hope you understand my choice!"

A low voice came from the lobby of the inner courtyard of the blacksmith shop.

The person who spoke was a middle-aged man with thick eyebrows and big eyes, dark skin, and a piece of blue cloth tied to his head.

Xu Liang frowned, without saying a word, and his face looked ugly.

After a long time, Xu Liang asked, "Zheng Shuang, I want to know what the conditions Chen Kai gave you?"

"A monthly salary of 50,000 yuan in essence stones can be obtained for every weapon cast, and you can get an additional commission of 1,000 yuan in essence stones." Zheng Shuang did not hide it, or he had no intention of hiding it at all. "Of course, these are secondary. The most important thing is that they promised to provide me with a quota, a quota for Hanlin Master's trial! As long as you pass the quota for Hanlin Master's trial, you may become a registered disciple of Hanlin Master! No one can refuse this condition!" When it comes to Hanlin Master, he was so excited.

Hanlin, a famous weapon refining master in Jingmen City Province.

In other words, Hanlin is a five-star weapon refiner who has an unshakable influence throughout Zhao State!

"Hanlin Master's trial quota?" Xu Liang narrowed his eyes, "Are you sure they didn't lie to you?"

Xu Ji Blacksmith Shop can barely afford the first few conditions, but Xu Liang cannot afford the last condition. The Hanlin Master’s trial quota is too precious, and it doesn’t matter if you have money alone, so no one can get a quota. As far as he knows, there are only three or five people in Jianglong County who may get a quota, which seems to be not included in Chen Kai, right?

Zheng Shuang smiled and said, "At first I was very suspicious, but I had to believe them when they put the trial papers in front of me."

"You are also very clear about the situation of Xuji Blacksmith Shop. Once you leave, Xuji Blacksmith Shop will face a huge crisis!" Xu Liang took a deep breath, his tone was low. Xuji Blacksmith Shop was his lifelong effort. He could not watch Xuji Blacksmith Shop be destroyed in the crisis. "The only two three-star weapon refiners in the blacksmith Shop are you and Mr. Zhao. Old Zhao is old. With the size of Xuji Blacksmith Shop, Mr. Zhao may be unable to support him. So, I ask you to stay! As long as you are willing to stay, I can give up half of the benefits of the blacksmith Shop!" When he said the last sentence, he was not reluctant at all.

Zheng Shuang closed her eyes, struggled and hesitated.

He could not give up his relationship with Xu Ji Blacksmith Shop for more than ten years.

After a long time, he finally made up his mind: "I'm sorry, Manager Xu, I've decided."

After saying that, he turned around and left, no longer giving Xu Liang a chance to keep him. He was afraid that he would not have the heart to refuse again.

Xu Liang opened his mouth and looked at Zheng Shuang's hurriedly leaving without saying anything.

He knew that Xu Ji's blacksmith shop would be finished when Zheng Shuang left!

PS: Thank you for the "baka's yellow flash" and the "Father of the Emperor" for the reward!
