Chapter 639: Chapter 127: Returning to the Ancient Dreams (19)The blacksmith beckoned Lu Hong into the inner courtyard, tossing him a ladle: "If you want water, scoop it yourself."

Lu Hong, somewhat speechless, looked at the ladle in his hand and asked, "Boss, I’m curious, didn’t you say you were too busy to take orders?"

"Didn’t you mention the price?"

They looked at each other in a standoff, each holding the other’s gaze.

"Ahem!" the blacksmith broke the silence, "Blame it on the saintly one paying too little. Now, the whole of Nansha Town knows I’m forging weapons for the saintly one, and no one else is placing orders. I barely make a few coins from forging a batch of his weapons—it’s a losing deal."

"Got it." Lu Hong immediately understood. The blacksmith’s words were meant for outsiders, signaling that he was still open for orders and indicating the cost of placing orders.

"Bro, you’re quite the businessman!"

"Haha, not at all, my good fortune is thanks to you, brother. Tell me, what do you want to craft; I’ll make it happen for you."

"Could you engrave this for me?" Lu Hong took out the Array Patterns he had drawn and handed them to the blacksmith.

Inspecting the diagram, the blacksmith frowned, unable to comprehend: "You want to engrave this onto a sword?"

"Yes, do you think it’s achievable?"

"I can certainly make it, but what’s the use of this thing? Can you share some details?"

"It’s called Array Patterns, commonly known as an Array, and can enhance the skills wielded by a weapon."

"Really?" The blacksmith’s eyes shone with excitement, such a thing seemed like a craft only Elves mastered, "Where did you get this from?"

"A stroke of luck. Besides, this Array Pattern isn’t useful to just anyone, so don’t get too excited."

"Alright then." The blacksmith sounded regretful before asking, "Engraving this Array will be quite troublesome. How much are you willing to spend?"

"How much do you want?" Lu Hong wasn’t a local tycoon and wasn’t familiar with the current prices of the Human Race, so he kicked the question back.

"About ten Gold Coins would do, five if you supply the materials."

Lu Hong nodded. Before leaving his village, he had swiped some Gold Coins from the Clan Leader, so he should have enough.

"Then, boss, please craft it for me." Saying this, Lu Hong took the Heavy Sword from his back and tossed it to the blacksmith, "Use it as raw material, add some stuff, and tell me how much more I owe you afterwards."

The blacksmith shook his head, "We don’t have such a practice in our trade, you should pay up front, and if it’s too much, I can give you the change later."

"So, how much should I pay?"

"What level of quality do you want?" The blacksmith toyed with the Heavy Sword in hand with disgust, it seemed the swordcraft of Gui He didn’t catch this blacksmith’s eyes.

"The highest level."

"Thirty Gold Coins, firm price," the blacksmith stretched out his hand for the money.

"Thirty? Are you robbing me?!" Although he wasn’t familiar with the prices, thirty Gold Coins seemed overly costly.

"Hey hey, do you even know the highest skill level I posses? The weapons I forge are supreme, not even Sai Lei can destroy them directly. Plus, the materials needed for such forging are extremely precious. If it weren’t for this Array Pattern that piqued my interest, I wouldn’t even bother crafting for you."

"Alright, alright." Lu Hong emptied his purse, just enough for thirty.

After paying, Lu Hong asked again, "Recently, did anyone come to you for a commission to forge something?"

"Yes, and it was odd, they all wanted swords, just like you. Aren’t swords used only by the Elven Race? I was going to ask you if some elf passed down swordsmanship skills to you."

"No." Lu Hong denied the blacksmith’s guess and continued, "So, did you forge for them?"

"Not without extra payment, of course. I sent them off with some weapons I forged as practice in the past."

"Sent off?" Upon hearing this, Lu Hong was displeased; it seemed Hai Ge and the others were dismissed when coming to buy weapons.

"Yes, what else? Let me tell you, not only did I swindle those simpletons, but I also got them to mine in the jungle for me. Honestly, they are quite obedient folks, too easy to manage. I’ll rip them off good once they come back from mining, hehe!"

The blacksmith narrated gleefully, completely oblivious to Lu Hong’s increasingly darkening expression.

"Boss..."

"Hmm?"

"Do you know which tribe they are from?"

"Heard they came from the Raze Forest area, some Xiao tribe, just a small one."

"Then Boss, do you know which tribe I’m from?"

Seeing Lu Hong’s smiling face, the blacksmith thought Lu Hong had an impressive background and immediately asked with seriousness, "May I ask which tribe the young brother hails from?"

"I’m from that dumbass family you mentioned, I am the young Clan Leader of the Xiao tribe!" As he spoke, Lu Hong suddenly kicked out, sending the blacksmith, over two meters tall, flying and sprawling on his back.

"What the hell?!" The blacksmith clutched his belly, barely catching his breath.

"You... you... you..." After taking Lu Hong’s kick, the blacksmith felt his opponent’s formidable martial prowess and panicked, "Don’t mess around, hey, I... I... this is Nansha Town, if you dare cause trouble, the saint won’t let you off!"

"Heh!" Lu Hong didn’t care about the threat at all and said sternly, "You started with the extortion and deception, I’m not afraid no matter where we take this!"

"All right, all right, I admit defeat, I’ll take whatever you dish out." Seeing Lu Hong’s firm attitude, the blacksmith had to concede. Sai Lei had all along encouraged unity and harmony among the Human Race, and if his deceptive acts were exposed, he would certainly be punished.

"Then you won’t charge for this weapon forging." Lu Hong, with a grin, walked up to him and took the Gold Coins back one by one.

The blacksmith boss watched in extreme heartache but was utterly helpless.

However, the blacksmith was decisive, and his mood adjusted very quickly after admitting defeat: "I say, young brother, that kick you gave me just now was no joke!"

Lu Hong let out a chuckle, "I didn’t even use my full strength, otherwise you wouldn’t be getting up."

"Really?"

"What else?"

"Then, I hope you can come with me to meet the saint."

"Why?"

The blacksmith scanned around and, after ensuring there was no one eavesdropping, whispered, "I’ll tell you, the Tiger Roar God plans to assault Nansha, and the saint is looking to gather masters from everywhere to hunt down the Tiger Roar. If you truly do have skills, I can introduce you to the saint; wouldn’t it be exhilarating to earn merits and establish achievements?"

"But, the Tiger Roar God is very powerful, are you sure the saint can beat him?"

"Hey, brother, what are you talking about? The saint is strong but still a step away from a Heavenly God. However, I heard that this hunt against the Tiger Roar will have Heavenly Gods from various tribes joining the fray, it’s almost a hundred percent certainty. Otherwise, the saint would have already ordered us to evacuate."

"A hundred percent?" Lu Hong immediately asked, "Then brother, do you know which tribes are involved in this matter?"

"I don’t know about that." The blacksmith shook his head, "Such major matters, I’m afraid only the saint knows."

Having arranged everything for the forging, Lu Hong stood up to leave. Returning to the inn, Hai Ge had still not come back.

Lu Hong instinctively felt something was amiss, so he asked the innkeeper, "Where does the saint reside?"

"That way." The innkeeper pointed towards the center of Nansha Town.

Arriving at the saint’s residence, the place was already under martial law, not even a bird was spared passage.

"Halt, who goes there!" A Soldier Captain of the Human Race stepped forward to Lu Hong, "May I ask who you are? Do you possess an invitation from the saint?"

"No."

Seeing Lu Hong shake his head, the captain then said, "Then please leave, the saint is in a meeting now, and we do not permit disturbances."

"What if I insist on seeing him?"

"Then we are at odds." The captain gave an order, and countless soldiers aimed their weapons at Lu Hong.

"Haha, just kidding, just kidding," Lu Hong waved his hand, "We are all of the Human Race, no need to be so unfriendly."

At that moment, a sudden burst of flames and Fighting Spirit came from inside the saint’s residence. Was it Hai Ge? Was he making his move?!

Lu Hong’s expression changed slightly, and he made his way into the saint’s residence.

"Stand down!" The captain shouted, but seeing Lu Hong not hesitating, he immediately ordered a full assault.

Lu Hong had no time to tangle with these soldiers. His heart thumped powerfully as the Blood Qi Shockwave erupted around him.

Under Lu Hong’s precise control, there was no loss of life.

Seeing someone forcing their way into the saint’s residence, more soldiers swiftly surrounded him.

Lu Hong leaped into action, pulverized a stone wall with a punch, and broke in.
