Chapter 370: Lou Gao, President of the Blacksmiths Guild

Blacksmiths Guild Headquarters.

As Su Mo summoned the Death Scythe martial spirit, he released powerful soul pressure.

Lou Gao, the president of the Blacksmith Guild on the top floor, couldn't help but change his expression after sensing it. After a few words of warning, he turned around and hurried downstairs.

At this moment, the first floor of the Blacksmiths Guild headquarters.

"Your Majesty, are you here to see our president? The president is at the headquarters now. Please wait a moment, and we will send someone to notify the president."

Unexpectedly, Su Mo, who seemed to be a pretty boy, was actually a titled Douluo. The staff behind the counter felt frightened.

Titled Douluo is a legendary figure in Douluo Continent. When ordinary people see Titled Douluo, it can be said that they will regard it as their luck in life.

However, as a staff member of the Blacksmith Guild Headquarters in Gengxin City, a city of metals and a city of blacksmiths, in the past, except for the blacksmiths, basically no powerful soul masters would come to visit their Blacksmith Guild.

Suddenly, a mysterious and unknown titled Douluo like Su Mo came. No one knew whether Su Mo came with good intentions or malicious intentions.

This made everyone on the first floor, especially the blacksmiths, feel a little worried after seeing the surprise of Titled Douluo, worried that something bad would happen.

Just as the staff member finished speaking, a burst of hurried footsteps came from the corridor.

In the blink of an eye, a short and fat old man rushed out of the corridor.

This is an old man who can be said to look like a cube. He is only 1.6 meters tall and has a terrifying waist circumference of 1.6 meters. He has a pair of provocative ears, small eyes, and a messy hair that looks like he has no idea what it is. It hadn't been washed for several days, and the clothes and chubby face were covered with a lot of things that looked like dark silver metal powder.

"President, you are finally here!"

The blacksmiths on the first floor couldn't help but be pleasantly surprised when they discovered that the height of the building had finally come down.

After going downstairs, when he saw Su Mo, especially the terrifying nine "red" soul rings surrounding Su Mo, Lou Gao's chubby face was instantly stunned.

"What! A Titled Douluo with a hundred thousand years of soul ring? When did there be such a Titled Douluo on the mainland? Why have I never heard of it?"

After muttering to himself for a while, Lou Gao quickly calmed down and bowed to Su Mo on the way to Su Mo.

"Lou Gao has seen the titled Douluo Mianxiao, but he still doesn't know about Mianxiao's title?"

"Haha, I haven't given myself a title yet. President Lou can just call me by my name. My name is Su Mo."

Regarding Lou Gao's respect, Su Mo smiled indifferently and said.

"Su Mo, then I will call you Mr. Su. I wonder why Mr. Su came to our Blacksmith Guild?"

Hearing Su Mo ask him to call him by his name, Su Mo said so, but Lou Gao did not dare to call him like that. Instead, he still respectfully called Su Mo Mr. Su and asked about the purpose of Su Mo's coming.

"Haha, this is not the place to talk. Let's go to other places to talk."

Su Mo smiled, not intending to reveal his purpose here.

After all, there are many people on the first floor of the Blacksmith Guild. In addition to the blacksmiths, there are also businessmen and tourists from all over the mainland. It can be said that there are many people talking.

"Master, please!"

After hearing what Su Mo said, Lou Gao also quickly invited Su Mo upstairs, and all the way to a reception room on the third floor, where he had hot tea served.

After the people who came to serve tea left and closed the door of the reception room, Lou Gao looked at Su Mo again, his small eyes full of doubts and curiosity, and asked again.

"Young Master and I are the only two people here now. Can you please tell me why you came to our Blacksmith Guild?"

"Haha, actually I'm here to save your Blacksmith Guild and your Gengxin City!"

Su Mo took a sip of hot tea and smiled leisurely while stroking the cup.

"Save us? I'm sorry, Mr. Su. Please forgive me for not understanding what you mean. Gengxin City and the Blacksmith Guild are not in any danger now, and we don't need anyone to save us."

Lou Gao shook his head and said.

"Haha, not now, but what about in the future?"

"Isn't President Lou still aware of the current situation on the mainland? Wuhun Palace, Tiandou Empire, and Star Luo Empire are now well equipped and starting to prepare for war."

"And in the war, what does President Lou think is the most important thing? In addition to logistics and food, I'm afraid the other things are weapons and armor."

"Your Gengxin City is the city of metals and blacksmiths. The Star Luo Empire is not ready to this point yet."

"But once it is discovered that there is a shortage of weapons and armor, your Gengxin City is now within the borders of the Star Luo Empire. The Star Luo Empire wants you to help build weapons and armor. Can you refuse?"

"And once you help the Star Luo Empire build weapons and armor, you are equivalent to joining the team. If you join the team, you may end up in the wrong team. I believe that President Lou should be very clear about the consequences of being in the wrong team!"

Su Mo smiled faintly and said slowly.

Hearing this, Lou Gao's face also looked a little ugly.

In fact, he is also very worried about the current situation on the mainland.

Because anyone with a discerning eye would know at a glance that the Wuhun Palace and the Tiandou Empire must have an absolute advantage. In the future, there is a high probability that the Wuhun Palace and the Tiandou Empire will defeat the Star Luo Empire and eventually unify the continent.

But the problem is that their Gengxin City is within the Star Luo Empire, and is more affected by the Star Luo Empire.

If the Star Luo Empire forcibly tied them into chariots, their Gengxin City would definitely be liquidated in the future, and maybe the city of metal and blacksmith would disappear from history.

This is something Lou Gao definitely doesn’t want to see!

"Young Master Su should be from Wuhun Palace. When you come here this time, Young Master, you don't want to conquer our Gengxin City on behalf of Wuhun Palace, right? But our Gengxin City is just a humble blacksmith city. How could it attract the attention of the noble Wuhun Palace?"

To be able to become the president of the Blacksmith Guild, Lou Gao may be a little bohemian, but he is definitely not stupid. Through the conversation with Su Mo, he quickly guessed Su Mo's identity and said in a deep voice.

"Haha, how did President Lou guess that I was from Wuhun Hall?"

Su Mo did not deny his identity, but asked with a playful smile.

But in response, Lou Gao smiled bitterly and shook his head.

"Young master, you are joking. I look at your age and your face. You will definitely not be over forty years old. At this age, you are already a titled Douluo, and he has a full soul ring of 100,000 years."

"Other than the Spirit Hall, the holy land of spirit masters, which other force in the entire continent can cultivate such a genius as Young Master?"

"It is an honor for us, Gengxin City and the Blacksmith Guild, to be favored by the noble Wuhun Palace. However, our Gengxin City is within the Star Luo Empire and is too far away from Wuhun City and Tiandou Empire. There is no way to join the Spirit Hall and the Tiandou Empire."

"Haha, I can understand President Lou's concerns."

"But President Lou, you have misunderstood what I said before. I said I came to save Gengxin City and the Blacksmith Guild, but I didn't mean to conquer Gengxin City on behalf of Wuhun Palace."

"The location of your Gengxin City is within the territory of the Star Luo Empire. Unless the joint forces of our Spirit Hall and the Tiandou Empire break through the borders of the Star Luo Empire in the future and bring your Gengxin City under their rule, the Star Luo Empire can send troops to attack at any time. Destroy your Gengxin City."

"Far water can't save the near fire, and we, Spirit Hall and Tiandou Empire, can't do anything about it."

"I know this very well, so I am not here to conquer your Gengxin City, at least not for now. I am actually here to help your Gengxin City remain neutral."

"Because soon, people from the Star Luo Empire should come and try to conquer your Gengxin City. I will deter them and make your Gengxin City remain neutral."

"With me here, as long as you, Gengxin City, don't take refuge in our Spirit Hall and Tiandou Empire, and don't want to help either of us, the Star Luo Empire should be able to tolerate it."

Su Mo smiled and said slowly.

But after hearing Su Mo's words, Lou Gao felt even more suspicious.

Because if Su Mo came all the way to help Gengxin City remain neutral, this is really unbelievable.

Although this can also weaken the strength of the Star Luo Empire, it will also be beneficial to the Wuhun Palace and the Tiandou Empire.

But their Gengxin City was within the territory of the Star Luo Empire after all. Even with the intimidation of a powerful titled Douluo like Su Mo, the Star Luo Empire initially made them neutral.

But if the situation worsens later and the Star Luo Empire recruits their Gengxin City blacksmiths to fight for them, then they probably won’t be able to resist in Gengxin City.

There is such a risk, isn't Wuhundian worried? (End of chapter)
