Douluo: Rebirth Davis, Zhuqing, calm down

Chapter 16 Master Lou Gao
"Yes, we are here to find Master Lou Gao." Davis took the lead and walked into the Blacksmith Association, followed closely by Li Hu.

The Blacksmith Association is divided into five floors. The first floor is the general trading area, where blacksmiths bring their masterpieces and various metals for trading. There are also many vendors who come here specifically to sell various metals.

The second floor is the advanced trading area, and some precious rare metals are generally traded on the second floor.

The third floor is the blacksmith registration and assessment area. There are tens of thousands of blacksmiths in Douluo Continent, and the number of blacksmiths far exceeds the number of soul masters. Naturally, there will be many blacksmiths who want to join the Blacksmith Association.

However, just as only powerful soul masters can join the Spirit Hall, the same is true for the Blacksmith Association. Only blacksmiths with superb skills can join the Blacksmith Association. Otherwise, the blacksmiths in the association will be of mixed quality, and the Blacksmith Association will become a joke.

The fourth floor is the VIP area, used to entertain distinguished guests, such as important figures from the imperial city, as well as wealthy businessmen.

This is also the auction area, where auctions are often held. Some particularly precious and rare forged items will be auctioned here.

The final fifth floor is the office area of ​​the Blacksmith Association. On weekdays, Master Lou Gao rests in the office area.

After entering the Blacksmith Guild Headquarters, the two went straight to the fourth floor. There were two guards in the corridor between the floors, and the two guards on the fourth floor were the two top disciples of Master Lou Gao.

One of them is named Silong, the other is named Siyu. Both of them have the strength of Soul Emperor, and their forging skills are second only to the God Craftsman.

Seeing Davis and Li Hu coming, Silong waved his hand, stopped the two of them, and asked, "Stop, who are you? What are you doing here?!"

"How dare you! How dare you..."

They dared to stop the eldest prince on the territory of the Star Luo Empire. Li Hu was about to teach them a lesson, but Davis suddenly stopped him.

He came here to ask for help, and also to win over Lou Gao and the Blacksmith Association behind him. Naturally, he could not be arrogant, but had to treat others with courtesy.

Davis walked forward, took out the white tiger token symbolizing the royal status and handed it to the two of them, and said with a smile: "Two masters, I am Davis, the current Grand Prince of the Xingluo Empire. I heard that Master Lou Gao's forging skills are the best in the world today. I have admired him for a long time, so I came here to ask for an audience.

I accidentally found something and would like to ask Master Lou Gao to help me make a weapon. I hope you two masters can help me introduce it.”

Davis was polite, but when Silong and Siyu saw the White Tiger Token in his hand, their faces changed drastically. They did not expect that the eldest prince of the Xingluo Empire would appear in Gengxin City.

The two men had no doubts about Davis's identity. In the territory of the Star Luo Empire, if someone dared to impersonate a royal identity, he would be courting death by lighting a lantern in the bathroom or a lamp in the toilet!
The two of them hurriedly bowed respectfully. Silong said, "I didn't know the eldest prince had arrived. I'm sorry for failing to welcome him. Please come with me!"

Silong immediately brought Davis and Li Hu to the reception room on the fifth floor, and then said, "Your Highness, our master is currently casting a piece of armor. Please wait for a moment, we will go and invite him."

Listening to the "clang clang clang" sounds coming from the corridor, Davis nodded slowly and said, "It's okay. We came here unannounced this time. We would feel bad if we disturbed Master Lou Gao's work."

After saying that, Silong and Siyu hurried to a forging room to ask Lou Gao to come out.

In the reception room, Li Hu frowned and said, "Your Highness, you are too polite to these blacksmiths. It is not in line with your status to be so humble!"

"Haha, no problem!" Davis smiled indifferently and sat on the sofa, but his eyes were full of ambition.

He had read quite a few novels before, but as for the emperor, it seemed that as long as he was a time traveler, he had no interest in the throne.

People who say this are like those rich businessmen who always say "I'm not interested in money", but end up making so much money.

Davis was different. Since he had traveled through time, he would just enjoy his different life. Moreover, he was the eldest prince of the Star Luo Empire and had the responsibility to lead the Star Luo Empire to glory. "As long as I can build that weapon, what does it matter if I wait here for three or five days?"

Li Hu was even more puzzled, and frowned, "My Lord, what kind of weapons are you going to make? As for those long spears and halberds, I can't see what's so special about them. No matter how sharp the weapons are, can they be more useful than martial spirits?"

"Haha, Uncle Li, you will know soon!"

Upon learning that the Grand Prince of the Xingluo Empire had come to the Blacksmith Association, Lou Gao was greatly shocked. He came to the reception room without saying anything and saluted, saying, "I didn't know that His Royal Highness the Grand Prince was coming. I hope that I will forgive you for the poor reception."

"Haha, no problem, no problem! I hope I didn't disturb Master Lou Gao by coming here without permission."

As he spoke, Davis was secretly sizing up the short and fat old man in front of him.

Lou Gao is only about 1.6 meters tall, but his waist circumference is probably also 1.6 meters. He has protruding ears, small eyes, and messy short hair that looks like it hasn't been washed in many days.

He was wearing a dirty, loose robe, and his chubby face was covered with something that looked like metal powder.

"Your Highness, I heard from Silong that you want me to make a weapon. What kind of weapon do you want to make? A sword, a spear, or armor?"

Master Lou Gao asked directly, his tone revealing a strong sense of confidence.

Apart from anything else, in terms of forging skills, no one in the entire Douluo Continent can surpass him.

Even Tang Hao and Tai Tan, who were equally skilled as master craftsmen, could only keep pace with him.

"Master Lou Gao is indeed a man of few words. But that's just right, I won't waste any more words. Before I forge that weapon, I want to show you something."

"Oh?" Master Lou Gao showed a puzzled look and asked in surprise, "I wonder what the eldest prince wants to show me?"

"This thing is too dangerous. Master, please find us a relatively safe place."

"Okay, then please come with me." After that, Lou Gao took Davis to his private forging room and introduced: "Prince, this is my private forging room. The whole room is made of hard steel. The walls are all made of steel, and there is even a layer of iron plate under the floor.

I am not bragging, but even an offensive-type Battle Soul Emperor cannot break through this wall!"

"As expected, this is Master Lou Gao's forging room. It really opens my eyes."

Davis looked at the layout of the room. In addition to basic blacksmithing tools such as bellows, iron blocks and various types of hammers, there were also some tools.

There are also various long swords, knight's lances, strong bows and crossbows, as well as various types of armor and soft armor, which is like a small arsenal.

Davis found an iron bucket, took out two taels of black powder mixed with white sugar and put it into the iron bucket. After lighting the black powder, he covered it with a layer of iron plate. Finally, he hurriedly left the forge with Master Lou Gao!

Lou Gao didn't understand why, but he did it anyway. Just as he closed the door, there was a loud bang and a deafening roar suddenly came from the forging room!
