Chapter 347 Sold out, and still have to count the money for Longcheng!
Sotun spoke impatiently and strode forward.
He also felt that he had acted impulsively after entering Dragon City.
The main reason is that everything he saw and heard today completely shattered his worldview.
Although... he is the East City Lord of the City of Ruins.
Even at the peak of his career, Lord Xueye was second only to the emperor.
He had seen many of the ancient ruins unearthed in the City of Ruins.
However, based on what he saw and heard in Dragon City, Sotun felt that it might not have been this good even in ancient times.
At one point, Sotun even considered staying and living there.
The air here is fresh, and there's a sunshade overhead, so we'll never get wet from acid rain.
There's an inexhaustible water supply and an endless supply of vegetables... it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call it paradise.
But soon, Sotun shook his head, dismissing the absurd idea.
First of all... he has a large group of subordinates who are waiting for him to support them.
Secondly... if I, a city lord, were to join Dragon City, I would be ridiculed for the rest of my life!
"I've always been curious, what exactly is this place?" After leaving the inner city, Batu stared at the forging area and gestured with his lip.
Although, you have to pass through the forging district to enter the inner city.
However, the forging area was built inside the fortified city.
Batu entered the inner city twice.
The sounds of intense hammering could be heard coming from inside the barracks.
You can tell from the sound that they are forging weapons.
The problem is, with his hearing, he could immediately tell that a small group of people inside were simply forging, while the other hundreds... seemed to be teaching students?
This is a little strange.
"This is the blacksmith academy I'm in charge of," Chu Ling Shuang said proudly, puffing out her chest. "It specializes in teaching students with blacksmithing talent, and I... am the dean of this academy."
"Could it be that you are also a master blacksmith?" Sotun asked with surprise and doubt.
Batu and a group of seventh-rank confidants looked over with suspicion.
"Of course!" Chu Ling Shuang nodded proudly.
"Hiss!" Everyone gasped.
Unexpectedly, this girl was not only incredibly powerful.
Moreover... at such a young age, he is already a master blacksmith.
This talent is simply astonishing! It completely surpasses all the blacksmithing masters in the City of Ruins!
"Dragon City is not only powerful in terms of its city lord, but also full of talented people!" Sotun exclaimed.
The most talented blacksmith in the city of ruins is barely comparable to the former masters.
"Lord Sotun, our Forging Academy offers free courses; anyone can come and learn here." Seeing the crowd's awe, Chu Ling Shuang's lips curled into a slight smile as she began to advertise herself.
"Anyone who passes the assessment can enter the academy to study. Those with high talent will be personally taught by me, and even the city lord will occasionally come to teach them."
"What? Your city lord is also a master blacksmith?" Everyone was shocked again.
"Hehe! That's right!" Chu Ling Shuang chuckled.
I originally thought that the legendary city of ruins must be something amazing!
But now she realizes that's all there is to it.
A group of top-tier bigwigs who can command respect and influence outside...
When they arrived in Longcheng, weren't they just like a bunch of country bumpkins?
“The city lord only started learning forging last month, and his first weapon was a top-grade sixth-tier divine weapon. Now, in just one or two months, he has already forged nearly a hundred divine weapons, including more than ten top-grade sixth-tier ones,” Chu Ling Shuang continued.
This also laid the groundwork for the later trading of divine weapons at the Qizhen Pavilion.
Moreover, this was Xiao Yu's idea; with his name on the team, they could attract more outstanding students.
"Hiss! Hundreds of divine weapons?" Upon hearing this, everyone gasped again.
His skills are incredibly strong, he can also draw, and he's so young. You still call him a forging master?
Damn it, you're so powerful all by yourself, are you making it impossible for others to live?
"Commander Chu, are you implying that we can also send people to learn forging?" Sotun's eyes gleamed as he recalled Chu Ling Shuang's words.
Within the city of ruins, there are also many exceptionally talented blacksmiths.
However, teaching an apprentice does not bring much benefit to the master himself.
Not to mention, it also creates a competitor for yourself.
Therefore, most excellent blacksmiths are somewhat secretive and unwilling to take on apprentices.
"Of course! I'll take as many as you have... cough cough!"
Chu Ling Shuang immediately assured them, but realizing she had gotten too excited, she quickly coughed and said, "I mean, the more geniuses the better, we won't accept those who aren't talented."
"Thank you very much!" Sotun said gratefully, cupping his hands in thanks.
"Then, may we have the opportunity to take a look around first?"
"No problem! Let's go!"
Next, Chu Ling Shuang generously led Sotun and the others into the forging area.
When the forging area was first established, Xiao Yu wanted to build it into a new Divine Weapon City.
Almost everything here is public; there are no secrets.
Moreover... Xiao Yu and Chu Ling Shuang forged their divine weapons in the city lord's mansion's special forging room.
A moment later, they saw hundreds of students already learning forging in large numbers, and even more than a hundred orcs from the City of Ten Thousand Beasts, wielding iron hammers and learning forging.
Sotun and the others were once again shocked.
The scene of hundreds of people wielding hammers looks like a war if you didn't know better.
However, the forging academy in Dragon City was very well organized.
A group of rugged orcs, yet they can do all sorts of delicate tasks with remarkable skill.
It is clear that the teaching level of Longcheng Forging Academy is absolutely first-class!
"Commander Chu, then it's settled!"
Seeing the teaching methods and results of the Forging Academy, Sotun immediately made a deal with Chu Ling Shuang, "At that time, I will send my best blacksmiths from the City of Ruins to come and learn. I hope Commander Chu will take good care of them."
"Hahaha...No problem, no problem!" Chu Ling Shuang laughed heartily.
The three beast-eared girls who had been following behind couldn't help but cover their mouths and chuckle.
These people have been sold out, and they're still counting money for Longcheng.
Did you really think that the city lord would be so kind as to let them learn for free?
They remember...
The city lord once said that free things are the most expensive!
Don't they even look at those honest, simple-minded orcs?
He was originally extremely loyal to the Queen, but now, all he can think about is staying in Dragon City.
Finally, Niu Dali came up with a terrible idea... to betray the Queen.
This idea was instantly agreed upon by all the beastmen!
That means the next time I see the Queen, I must persuade her to marry the Lord of Dragon City.
In this way, all the orcs could join Dragon City.
This idea came to her when the rabbit-eared girl was monitoring the minotaur.
As for the others... once they see the living conditions of the inner city dwellers, they will never leave!
They only know how to work hard and create value for Dragon City. Please, Lord City Lord, let them stay!
The deal for five million worth of goods has been finalized, as has the deal for the forging trainees.
Sotun feels that things are going too smoothly, and he is in a much more relaxed mood.
A moment later, at the entrance of the commercial street, Chu Ling Shuang smiled and looked at the group, saying:
"Lord Sotun, Deputy Lord Batu, have arrived at the Commercial Street. Our Commercial Street boasts a wide variety of exquisite delicacies, including a food court that encompasses all the culinary delights of Dragon City, and..."
In short, if you plan to visit the shopping street, it's recommended to exchange some Dragon Coins first.
"What are Dragon Coins?" Sotun and the others asked, puzzled.
"This is the currency of my Dragon City. Look... it's these crystal coins." Chu Ling Shuang took out several crystal coins of different sizes and colors from her pocket and handed them to Sotun.
Sotun took the coin and looked at it. The smallest red crystal coin showed 1 yuan, while the others showed 5 yuan, 10 yuan, and so on. He asked curiously, "In Dragon City, can I buy things with this?"
Sotun's eyelids twitched when he saw the crystal coins.
This kind of thing seems to have existed in ancient times.
If Xiao Yu weren't so young, he would have thought Xiao Yu was an ancient human.
Otherwise... how could such a thing have been created?
“Yes! You can exchange Dragon Coins there. It’s very convenient to trade with Dragon Coins in Dragon City. You can give it a try.” Chu Ling Shuang said, pointing to the Jiebing Pavilion at the entrance of the commercial street.
The defenses here have been strengthened again.
Simply because... a new single-story building was constructed here to launch a new business.
Everyone who enters Dragon City can exchange energy stones for dragon coins here.
Previously, Sotun and Batu had been negotiating large-scale transactions, but exchanging them had become more complicated.
However, for small transactions of a few hundred or a few thousand in the commercial street, using Dragon Coins is naturally much more convenient.
“Then let’s exchange 100,000 dragon coins first.” Sotun nodded, took out a leather bag and handed it to Baldy Eyes, asking him to exchange the money.
After a while.
Sotun saw that Baldy was holding 9 crystal coins and a small pile of various crystal coins.
"A whole bunch of energy stones, and you traded them for this pile of stuff?" Everyone looked on with suspicion.
But soon, when they used Dragon Coins to buy corn, they were shocked to find it surprisingly convenient.
After all, energy stones are all individual stones of varying sizes, and each transaction takes a long time to count. If you encounter someone with poor eyesight, it's very easy to make mistakes and end up arguing endlessly.
However, using these dragon coins is very simple and straightforward.
With Dragon Coins, the transaction efficiency in Dragon City has increased more than tenfold!
"Can our City of Ruins operate like this?" After using Dragon Coins, Sotun felt that trading with Energy Stones was too slow and troublesome, and bartering was even more cumbersome.
He was wondering if he could create a currency system once he took control of the City of Ruins.
This will make trading in the City of Ruins easier, attracting more powerful individuals to trade here.
However, an elderly man with gray hair and a gray robe immediately poured cold water on his enthusiasm:
"Lord City Lord, I'm afraid that won't work! In my opinion, the crystal coins of Dragon City are made of a very special material. Perhaps only Dragon City has this material, and only Dragon City can manufacture them."
Because I didn't see a single trace of artificial manufacturing.
The currency we create will soon be counterfeited, and then the consequences will be dire!
The gray-haired, gray-robed old man spoke, staring at the crystal coin in his hand, clicking his tongue in amazement.
"Uh..." Sotun was speechless for a moment, then asked, unwilling to give up, "Is there really no other way?"
“There is indeed a way. But…” The gray-haired, gray-robed old man thought for a moment, then gave a wry smile, “This way is subject to others’ control! That is, to use Dragon City’s currency directly!”
simply say.
It means exchanging all the energy stones in the City of Ruins for Dragon City's currency.
"Great idea!" Sotun's eyes lit up immediately.
He also realized that this would eliminate the risk of counterfeit currency.
The problem is... that we'll be subject to the control of the Dragon City Lord.
"The Lord of Dragon City! He's truly amazing!" After figuring out the implications, Sotun exclaimed once again.
He couldn't even remember how many times he had sighed like that.
This Lord of Dragon City is a true polymath...
A genius who could do everything! And now...
Even knowing that he would be subject to the control of the Dragon City Lord, Sotun still wanted to use the Dragon City's currency system.
After all... this method of currency transaction is indeed too convenient.
"Big brother!"
Just then, Batu spotted a cold drink shop at the entrance of the commercial street and excitedly said, "They sell popcorn here, why don't we go grab some? They also seem to have some delicious cold drinks."
"Okay, let's go then." Sotun was in a good mood at the moment. He was very curious when he saw a nicely decorated cold drink shop, so he followed his younger brother Batu inside.
Several trusted confidants followed immediately.
Seeing this, Chu Ling Shuang and the three beast-eared girls stopped following.
It was decided to let these people look around first.
After all... just from the cold drink shop, these people wouldn't be able to get out in an hour or two.
Because... "Battle Through the Heavens" has already been updated to hundreds of thousands of words.
The story is currently writing about Xiao Yan's imminent breakthrough to the Great Dou Master level, followed by his fulfillment of the three-year agreement.
This section.
Even the women were thrilled watching it.
Once those men start watching, they can't stop.
