Chapter 245 [Just take it away!] (Two in one)!

(Two in one, seven thousand words chapter!)

"These 'real Augustines, after all, are descendants of the orthodox royal family of the empire, have a long history, and have various unexplained and tangible relationships with the aristocratic class of the empire. You know, the royal family and the aristocratic class of any era have been married through countless generations, with blood fusion, and have inseparable connections. The same is true for these 'real Augustines, and because they are also descendants of the royal family of the Roland Empire, they have never been able to suppress them too much. Moreover, with the preferential strategies over the past century, they have already possessed a lot of power. Although on the surface, there seems to be no generals in the army and important officials of the empire, there are some invisible hidden forces and influences in the middle-level officials and the army.

In addition to the current emperor, my nephew has never been willing to become a crown prince. The empire has already grown a lot of dissatisfaction and worries.

In recent years, some people have even been unable to help but privately accuse the emperor of being too selfish and being reluctant to become a crown prince because they are unwilling to ‘return the throne to these real Augustines.”

"So, do you think that these 'real Augustine's involvement in these several assassinations of the emperor?"

"It's not a suspicion, I'm almost sure of this." Du Wei smiled bitterly, and her eyes flashed: "I even think that even His Majesty the Emperor himself should understand this. However, I don't know why he has not moved so far, and just waved the big stick of suppression on the church, but ignored these "Augustines who were eyeing and making trouble in secret."

Chen Daolin suddenly felt aroused in his heart: "Can... the imperial army mobilized this time, maybe it was the emperor's preparation..."

"I don't know." Du Weiwei smiled bitterly: "The emperor has never asked me about these things. Obviously, he does not want our Tulip family to interfere."

Du Weiwei also has her own difficulties.

The Tulip Family has become too popular in the Roland Empire, has too much reputation and has a wide influence.

And the blood relationship between the Tulip family and the royal family is here.

Since Du Wei's era, the family has had ancestral teachings. In the future, descendants of the Tulip family will not be allowed to participate in the establishment of the royal family for the throne.

This is because, in the eyes of the world, the "real Augustines" complaints: the Tulip family seized the throne of the Augustine family, which is actually very popular among the people.

However, because the Tulip family did a good job, Du Wei's reputation was too high, the Tulip family made too great contributions to the empire, and made too great contributions, so everyone actually had no objection to the "snatching" the throne. Anyway, the Augustine family is no longer able to do it, so it is good to change the bloodline of the Tulip family to be the emperor.

But since the Tulip family has taken such a big advantage, if the descendants of the future want to make the family richer and have a longer time, they will be better off standing far away from the throne dispute and cannot get closer.

After all, you have already gained great benefits. If you are involved in the ownership of the throne again and again, you will be too jealous.

"So, with the change of emperors for several generations, the Tulip family will never interfere in the battle to establish a crown prince or even fight for the throne, and will remain a transcendent role. The family ancestors have their own lessons, and the wealth and popularity of the Tulip family has reached the peak that the ministers can have, so there is no need to participate in these things anymore. We just need to be the guardians and protectors of this empire."

Speaking of this, the two looked at each other for a while and sighed at the same time.

Chen Daolin can deeply understand Du Weiwei's heavy responsibilities and helplessness. As the leader of the new generation of Tulip Family, she shoulders the important task of continuing to carry forward the family, and at the same time, she must remain neutral and not let the family get involved in these matters.

"From a relationship, I certainly hope that the throne will remain in the hands of the current royal family. After all, they are related to our Tulip family. But the emperor has been slow to become a crown prince, and his younger brother, our Prince Xiaoyao, has always been very tired of the throne, so... I am worried that in the end, the emperor was under pressure and had no choice but to......"

Du Weiwei will never talk to people about these things, these worries and troubles on weekdays.

Moreover, with her status, there are actually no close friends around her who can discuss with her. She cannot be friends with the older generation. However, no one from the younger generation can catch her eyes. Moreover, in terms of status, she is the leader of the Tulip family. Among the young people in the contemporary empire, few of them are qualified to be friends with her.

Whether it is Goth, Panin, or Rose, when he sees Du Weiwei, he will kneel down and salute.

Du Weiwei's heavy burdens and pressures were exposed to an outsider like Chen Daolin at this moment.

Du Weiwei was a little surprised when she said these words, not knowing why she was so relieved in front of this guy.

Perhaps it was because of the relaxed communication and conversation between the two of them during those days in the frozen forest that she had truly recognized the talent of this mysterious young man in her heart and regarded him as a friend who could be on par with her.

"…···" Chen Daolin was silent for a while, and then smiled: "According to what you said, there will be a big chaos in the imperial capital. But... these may not have much to do with me. Why do you think about pulling me out of the imperial capital and taking me to the northwest?"

"I always have some bad premonitions." Du Wei sighed slightly.

When Chen Daolin heard this, his heart skipped a beat!

He couldn't help but think of the growing uneasiness in his heart over the past few days.

"Your feelings... I understand." Chen Daolin looked at Du Weiwei with a serious look and took a deep breath: "Thank you very much for your value, and for your concern for me. But, very! Unfortunately, I still want to say sorry to you - I have received your feelings,! But I can't go to the northwest with you at the moment."

When Chen Daolin said this, Du Weiwei's face showed a deep disappointment.

She frowned and looked at Chen Daolin: "You... can't let go of the matter of the imperial capital?"

"…………It's not exactly that." Chen Daolin grabbed the back of his head.

"Do you like making money so much?" Du Weiwei looked at Chen Daolin: "What "Wu Shuangfang" did you and that guy Angulu have created? I believe that with your talent and Angulu's financial resources, your combination will definitely create a situation. But......... Is money really that important to you? You should understand that in the Roland Empire, wealth is not something that really important..."

"I know, I understand, and... and... whether you believe it or not: Actually, I am not short of money." Chen Daolin smiled, but his tone was very complicated: "I have some reasons for myself, so I can't go to the northwest with you. If I wanted to stay out of the matter, I would have stayed in the Newhofen province of the East China Sea for a long time."

"..." Du Weiwei frowned tightly at Chen Daolin, and deep doubts appeared in her bright eyes.

"I... have my own reasons." Chen Daolin's tone was apologetic.

Du Weiwei's face suddenly changed. She walked closer and almost stood in front of Chen Daolin. At such a close distance, her eyes seemed to be close, staring at Chen Daolin deeply: "Darling...... Please answer me honestly... Will you do something that harms this empire in the future?"

"…………………………………” Chen Daolin was silent for a while and then shook his head seriously: “No!”

"…···" Du Weiwei seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, but she still stared at Chen Daolin, hesitating for a moment, but the following sentence was extremely firm: "I hope you won't! Because until now, I can't really see you clearly, and I don't know where you came from and what you are pursuing. I just hope that in the future... we will not become enemies!"

Chen Daolin was silent for a while, then suddenly smiled: "Don't worry, I don't want to be an enemy of you. With an enemy like you, I'm afraid I can't even sleep well."

Du Weiwei left.

This woman came and left in a hurry.

Looking at Du Weiwei's departure back, Chen Daolin sighed and whispered: "I will go to the northwest but then in the future, not now."

Gold Making Street.

This not-wide street behind the Knights Association is very famous in the imperial capital. Even looking at the entire empire, this street is very famous.

Almost all those who practice martial arts know that there is a street in the emperor, where the most outstanding blacksmiths and sword-casters in the entire empire are gathered, where the best equipment, the sharpest swords and the strongest shields and armor can be found here.

And... the first craftsman of the empire: Master Kang.

Because of the above reasons, Jinjin Street has always been very prosperous, and countless people come to the imperial capital to look for opportunities

I hope that warriors who make the best will come to this street, hoping to find a weapon of their own.

Those nobles also often visited here to buy a good sword or armor. They also hoped to come here to try their luck, hoping to find a job blacksmith...

There are also some interesting news coming from Jinji Street.

For example, a weapon shop has launched a new set of armor, a famous swordsman has created a sharp sword, etc.

And in recent days, the biggest news on Jijin Street is that a historic weapon shop on Jijin Street has changed hands.

There is a strange rule on Jinji Street - this rule was formed since Master Kang settled here.

Jianjin Street is an east-west street, not a wide street, and can only barely accommodate two carriages to pass side by side.

The street is along a canal in the imperial capital. The canal is live water and is directed from the Lancang Canal. Iron and sword making requires a lot of water. Because with abundant water sources, the weapons shops and iron shop workshops here can survive.

The westernmost end of the street, close to the end of the canal, is Master Kang's shop - located at the innermost part of Jianjin Street. Logically speaking, this is the worst place.

However, the rule in Jinji Street is that the blacksmith shops at the intersection of the east side are often the worst and lowest in the entire street.

The closer you go, the closer you are to Master Kang, the brighter the signboard, the more famous it is, the better the things are, and the more expensive it is.

There is no doubt that Master Kang is at the top level on the entire street.

And the only one who belongs to Master Kang is next to the first craftsman of the empire.

Just a few days ago, the shop next to Master Kang changed hands.

This surprised many people.

Because Master Kang is recognized as the first in the Gold Making Street, then next door is recognized as the second in the Gold Making Street.

The second place in the Gold Making Street can be said to be the second place in the imperial capital, or even to be exaggerated, it is the second place in the entire empire!

The business of this store has always been very good, and the things created are also very popular - because Master Kang has rarely made hands-on machines in recent years, so the production is small and the sales will naturally not be high.

However, it was such a prosperous store that suddenly changed hands and there was no news in advance. Almost overnight, they changed their signs and closed down. The original owner and swordsman all left quietly without any news.

However, when the new sign of this store was released, people's doubts were relieved.

"Wu Shuang Fang".

This name is strange, but this is not the key. The key is that under the sign of "Wushuangfang", there is a badge that everyone is very familiar with.

Pompeii Chamber of Commerce!

As the third-ranked Super Chamber of Commerce in the Roland Empire, it is a supplier of the ordnance of the Roland Empire. It can be said that the huge crocodile that makes ordnance weapons and equipment should naturally have a place when entering the Gold Maker Street. As soon as it came, it snatched the second seat under Master Kang, and everyone had nothing to say.

After Wushuangfang occupied the store, it immediately closed the door and started construction and expansion.

The endless stream of craftsmen coming and going every day attracted a lot of attention.

Everyone is speculating on when this Wushuangfang will open and what changes will it bring to the Jinjin Street pattern after it opens.

Some people even speculate that as the largest supplier of arms and weapons in the empire, the high-profile entry of the Pompeii Chamber of Commerce will impact Master Kang's first gold signboard in the industry...

After all, although Jinji Street is famous, it has always followed the boutique route and is not made on a large scale. The entry of such a bigwig like the Pompeii Chamber of Commerce seems to be intentionally entering this "high-end boutique market"...

That morning, the shops on Jianjin Street had not yet opened - the weapons shops usually opened very late.

Some guys are still busy cleaning the street in front of their homes and scrubbing the door panels. The blacksmith's apprentices are still making stoves. The chimneys behind the shops on the street have just burst into fireworks...

An exquisite and small carriage has quietly driven into Jinji Street, moving from east to west.

I kept driving straight to the end of Jinjin Street.

This carriage attracted a lot of attention because...it finally stopped in front of Master Kang's house.

The person driving the car is a stout man, and he has a sense of power and ability in every move. The guys in the weapon shop on the Jinji Street are all insiders, and you can see at a glance that the driver of the car is definitely a martial arts master!

The martial arts master parked the carriage and jumped down, carefully opened the car door, and whispered: "It's here."

Immediately, I saw a young man slowly walking down the car.

This young man has a slender figure and looks as if he is a child of aristocratic family. Although his expression is leisurely and calm, his appearance is very ordinary.

He was not very gorgeous in his clothes, just a simple robe, but it was cut very well and looked extraordinary.

Although Master Kang's home is recognized as the "first" on Jinji Street, the craftsmanship shop of this empire's number one craftsman is not big.

It's just a small door, not a wide door.

The carriage is impartial and blocks the door.

The young man stretched, looked up at the signboard on it, and couldn't help but smile.

"It's true that it's a bit like a No. 1 craftsman."

The sign on the store is very simple, with only one word:

"Kang".

This young man is undoubtedly Chen Daolin.

"Knock on the door."

Chen Daolin glanced at Hook.

Hook smiled, walked over, raised his hand and slapped the closed door a few times.

In fact, someone in the shop had already seen the carriage outside the door.

The people who came, especially this young man, were of extraordinary temperament, and although this carriage was small, it was extremely exquisite. The people on the Jinji Street were all very vicious. Such a carriage, just from the texture of its materials, was absolutely extraordinary!

The door opened and a middle-aged man who looked like he was in his thirties or forties.

This person is Master Kang's second disciple. He is also in charge of the matters in the store on weekdays. In recent years, Master Kang has not made many things himself. It can be said that most of the things in the store are made by him.

Chen Daolin noticed that this middle-aged man had a pair of thick and strong palms.

"What's wrong with the distinguished guest?" The middle-aged man said very reservedly: "This store has not opened yet."

"I'll meet Master Kang." Chen Daolin took a step forward.

The middle-aged man looked at Chen Daolin and said a little politely: "Sorry, my master is not there. If you want to buy something......"

Chen Daolin smiled: "You can't make the decision if I want to buy something."

The middle-aged man's face froze, but his years of scheming still made him smile: "The guest was joking. My master has ignored the matters in the store for many years. I am responsible for the matters in the store. Do you want to buy a sword or ask for armor..."

Chen Daolin looked up and down at the middle-aged man, and then he smiled.

I smiled happily, but what I said made people change their color!

"I don't ask for swords or armor...I'll buy a store." Chen Daolin pointed to the door of the store: "I want to buy your store."

Buzz!!

There are not many people on the streets in the early morning and they are not noisy.

Chen Daolin said this sentence lightly, but it seemed to spread throughout the street immediately!

For a moment, people from various stores that were peeping in the distance from the near and far away were in an uproar.

Collection of the store!

Maikang’s store?!

Where did this young man come from? He dared to come to Jinji Street and wanted to buy the foundation of this first craftsman in the empire at the exit?!!

The middle-aged man's face had changed, but he still forcibly endured the annoyance in his heart, and said in a deep voice: "Customer, please joking! This store... has no intention of transfer!"

Chen Daolin still smiled relaxedly. He looked at the middle-aged man and sighed in disappointment: "I just said that you can't make the decision. You'd better invite Master Kang out."

"No need to ask the teacher! This store will not sell and transfer!" The middle-aged man finally showed anger: "Customer, please come back!"

"………… Can you represent your teacher's meaning?" Chen Daolin narrowed his eyes and smiled.

"Of course!" The middle-aged man snorted, his face turned pale: "Please pay attention to your demeanor and keep some decent! This... is the Gold Making Street!"

"I know this is Jinji Street." Chen Daolin said lightly: "I also know that a craftsman here is Master Kang. If it weren't for Master Kang's shop, I wouldn't have come even if I asked me to buy it."

Looking at the middle-aged man's clenched fists, Chen Daolin seemed to be in no hurry at all.

He sighed softly, deliberately in an understatement and slow tone, and said slowly: "I heard that Master Kang is amazing and is the first craftsman of the Roland Empire... This is fine, what is the first and second? These false names are not the real reason for attracting me. What really attracts me here is that I heard that Master Kang has been obsessed with the study of forging skills throughout his life. In the past, in order to learn the crafts of the dwarves, he went alone to Mount Kilimaro to drill the mines of the dwarves. He lived there for many years!

I also heard that he was striving for excellence. In order to seek breakthroughs, he went to the tribe of the elves and lived in Dayuan Lake for many years.

He never asked about his reputation in his life, but truly regarded exploring and forging skills as his highest pursuit.

This kind of spirit is the reason why I really respect him. I came here today for this.”

The middle-aged man's face changed, he put away a little anger, and looked at Chen Daolin: "Since you are so clear about the teacher's life, why are you still humiliating me so much?!"

"Am I insulting your teacher?" Chen Daolin laughed: "I'm here to give your teacher a shortcut to make him realize his dream and realize his lifelong dream!"

"………………………………” The middle-aged man was stunned and frowned and looked at Chen Daolin, trying to tell from his expression that this guy was a madman.

Chen Daolin raised his hand and waved it. Soon Hook came over, brought a wooden box up, and held it in front of the middle-aged man with both hands.

"Leave this to your teacher." Chen Daolin smiled faintly, put his hands behind him, and smiled leisurely: "Tell him that I will wait here, wait for him to open the door and come out to greet me in person!"

The middle-aged man's face changed! And the rest of the people who spyed and listened in the distance were all breathing a sigh of relief!

Let Master Kang come out and open the door to greet him?!

What a big tone!

Even if the emperor comes, a person like Master Kang who is arrogant and arrogant would not do this!

However, Chen Daolin seems to be not finished yet!

He looked up at the sky and said lazily: "I don't have much time. Go in and tell your teacher. I'll just wait for him to count a hundred... Start counting from now on... One!"

When Chen Daolin counted to ten, the middle-aged man finally had a gloomy face. He hesitated for a moment, took the wooden box, turned around and turned back, and slammed the door before he left!

Chen Daolin stood there, looking at the sky with his hands behind his back, his face leisurely, and slowly counted in his mouth: "Fifteen, sixteen, seventeen..."

Hook next to him looked puzzled and whispered: "Sir, Master Kang has always been very arrogant. Will he..."

"Don't worry, as long as he is really obsessed with pursuing forging skills as legends, he will definitely come out." Chen Daolin's tone was relaxed: "Twenty-one·····································"

Among the shops far and near, more and more people were curious, and some even walked out of the shop and gathered to watch.

Many people are laughing at this young man for not knowing that the world is high and the earth is strong. How could Master Kang be?

But just when Chen Daolin counted to "eighty"...

Suddenly, with a creaking sound, the door opened wide!

A thin and short figure had already walked out quickly!

This figure came out in a very hurry. In a hurry, he almost tripped at the door and almost fell into Chen Daolin's arms!

I heard an old and hoarse voice, with many emotions such as nervousness, excitement, anxiety, expectation, etc., and even because I was too excited, my words were not smooth.

"Where are people! You! Are you? You are you!!"

The old man who came out was short and thin, and his height was about the same as Chen Daolin's chin.

Although the eyes are small, they are flashing with light like light!

His eyes fell on Chen Daolin's face, and his voice was a little sharp because he was too excited!

"It's you? That sword is what you brought?!"

"It's me." Chen Daolin looked at the old man in front of him who seemed not to be astonishingly handsome: "Are you Master Kang?"

"I'm!" The old man suddenly rushed up and grabbed Chen Daolin's sleeve. His arms were even trembling: "Did you create that sword?"

But as soon as he said this, he saw Chen Daolin's hands and shook his head: "Impossible, your hands are not sword-casting hands!"

"I didn't build it, but I know the skills of forging."

"Give it to me!" Master Kang's voice became agitated.

"...I have the conditions." Chen Daolin smiled.

"Say!" The old man took a deep breath.

"I want your store!"

"Give it to you!" Master Kang waved his hand.

"I want you to make a device for me..."

"According to you!"

"I want you to do it for me..."

"Everyone listens to you!" The old man suddenly raised his head and stared at Chen Daolin with a sharp voice, word by word, extremely determined: "Give me this forging skills! Even if you take my life, you will only care! Take it! Go!!!"

boom!!

On the entire gold-making street, all the blacksmiths and sword-casting teachers and friends... were shocked!
