Douluo Continent: The Legend of the Dragon King? No, the Legend of the Six Kings!

In the timeline of Dou Yi, the Star Luo Empire, Gengxin City.

This is the metal capital, the steel city, and the blacksmith's paradise. It is the premier city for the forging industry in the southwest inland region and the headquarters of the mainland blacksmith association.

Lin Tian and Lin Yan arrived here accompanied by Dugu Bo. At this time, Lou Gao, the highest-ranking person in charge here, was already waiting for the three of them at the gate of the city.

The man before them was one of the three great master craftsmen of this era. As for the other two, one was Tang San's father, and the other was Tang Hao's dog Titan. Among these three, the one who was the easiest to deal with was the man in front of them, Lou Gao.

Lou Gao looked at the three people who appeared in front of him. He never expected that one day a famous Poison Douluo from the mainland would come to him, and the letter said something about discussing some forging business.

He wasn't initially interested, but after seeing another drawing on the envelope, he finally agreed and even went to greet the letter in person.

"Your Majesty, it's been a long time!"

Lou Gao immediately stepped forward to greet him warmly. He had met Dugu Bo once before, so they were acquaintances.

Dugu Bo glanced at the towering building in front of him and simply nodded. Then, his gaze fell on Lin Tian and the other person beside him, his meaning quite clear.

Noticing the hint in Dugu Bo's eyes, Lou Gao seemed to understand something, and his gaze slowly fell on the two young men.

Lin Yan stepped forward and introduced himself, "Senior Lou Gao, hello. I have a deal to make, and I wonder if you'd be willing to do it?"

Lou Gao must recruit such a talented individual. The battle armor he forges in the future will definitely be extraordinary. Moreover, since there are gods in this era, the battle armor will surely have a unique effect.

Upon hearing this, Lou Gao looked at Lin Yan in front of him. He could sense that the other party was also a blacksmith. There was an aura of mutual appreciation between kindred spirits. The two stared at each other for a few seconds.

Finally, Lou Gao nodded: "Then please follow me."

And so the three of them followed Lou Gao into this steel city. Along the way, Lin Yan kept observing the forging methods of the people around him. He had to admit that it was very similar to the forging methods of the main body's era. However, in the main body's time, forging represented tempering and cultivation, while here it was purely for forging for blacksmithing.

In layman's terms, the choice to forge oneself is solely for the purpose of supporting one's family.

Lou Gao noticed Lin Yan's gaze constantly observing him and couldn't help but ask, "So, what's the difference between my forging and yours?"

Upon hearing this question, Lin Yan stopped and turned his gaze back to the blacksmiths: "Senior Lou Gao, these blacksmiths are not blacksmiths out of love for blacksmithing and cultivation, but more out of a desire to make a living."

"Oh~" This answer instantly piqued Lou Gao's interest. He turned to look at Lin Yan and asked curiously, "What do you mean by that?"

"Senior, you should have seen the forging blueprints for that envelope, right?"

"I did see that. It's a very good blueprint. Could it be that you designed it?" Lou Gao nodded and asked in return. After seeing the blueprint on the envelope that day, he was simply amazed. Although it was just an arm guard, it was enough to show how terrifying the blueprint was.

In particular, that line of text can enhance the strength of a Soul Master. If these six words were to spread, they would likely cause a great upheaval across the continent.

Moreover, it could completely change the status of blacksmiths on the continent, which is why Lou Gao took the time to meet with the three of them.

As a master craftsman, his time is very precious.

"That makes things easier."

Seeing the serious expression on Lou Gao's face, Lin Yan realized he was right. As a master craftsman, he was different; he could see a lot from just a blueprint.

He organized his thoughts and began to state the purpose of his visit: "Senior Lou Gao, I have come here today to invite your Forging Association to join our cause."

"What?"

Lou Gao had initially thought the young man wanted him to forge the armor depicted in the blueprints, but now he was asking him to join their faction. Lou Gao absolutely could not agree to such a request.

"Boy, I am one of the continent's top craftsmen and the president of the Forging Association. How could I possibly join your faction? Don't be delusional." Lou Gao had his own pride and would never join someone else's faction.

Faced with the towering rejection, Lin Yan showed no expression, but looked at Lin Tian, ​​his meaning clear: it's up to you to talk now.

Lin Tian naturally understood. He stepped forward, silently took out the blueprints that the main body had given him that day, and placed them in front of Lou Gao. "Senior Lou Gao, why don't you take a look at these things first, and then make your own judgment?"

Lou Gao's tough attitude softened when he faced the blueprints. As a famous blacksmith on the mainland, how could he not like those strange and unusual blackprints?

He reached out and took it, but after just one glance, his calm pupils instantly contracted. The things on it were even more shocking than the damaged blueprints he had seen last time.

Seeing Lou Gao's reaction, Lin Tian spoke again: "Senior, we have many of these blueprints. As long as you join us, you can look at these blueprints at will, and you can even see things you've never seen before."

These things naturally refer to the blueprints, materials, and valuable knowledge that will be forged in the future.

On the way, Lin Tian and Lin Yan discussed with the main body that they planned to give this guy a medicinal herb such as a fairy herb to pull him towards the title of Douluo and completely cultivate him into a master craftsman of this era, so that someone would need a four-word battle armor in the future.

If we can't forge the main body, we should ask Lin Yan or Lou Gao for help, or ask other blacksmiths. It would be such a waste not to make use of such a large resource.

As for whether Lou Gao will refuse, we've already tried the soft approach. If the other party doesn't appreciate it, then we'll have to resort to the hard approach.

They have Dugu Bo behind them.

Lou Gao put down the blueprints in his hand, looked at the three people in front of him for a few moments, and then spoke after a long silence: "You guys really came prepared!"

"Senior is joking. We happen to have good forging materials here, but we don't have any high-level blacksmiths, so we came to you."

Lin Tian spoke with great finesse, giving this master craftsman the utmost respect. If he still refused, then there was nothing he could do.

"You're quite the smooth talker."

Lou Gao glanced at Lin Tian, ​​then looked back at the blacksmiths who had stopped forging and were now watching him. He knew all too well that he was the pillar of the Forging Association; if he left, the association would fall apart.

"Kid, if I join your faction, what will happen to the Forging Association?"

"This problem is easy to solve."

Lin Tian quickly offered his solution: "Then join our faction together. We will give you access to our data and blueprints, especially Senior Lou Gao."

"Um?"

"Do you want to become a Title Douluo?"

Lou Gao: "???"

Even Dugu Bo, who was watching the show from the sidelines, suddenly became interested and stared intently at Lin Tian, ​​who had said those words. He seemed to have guessed something.
