Chapter 201 Recruiting Apprentices: A Frenzy of Sign-ups!
"Nak, eat whatever you want these next couple of days, because... you'll never be able to eat this again."
At the entrance of the Dragon Gate Inn, a middle-aged woman led a tall young girl out. The woman, Nan Yun, affectionately patted her daughter's head and said...
Because... the mother and daughter came with the tribe.
My daughter, Nako, really loves the food in Longcheng.
But once the trade fair ended, the tribe had to return home, and they could only go back together.
Once you leave Longcheng, it's unlikely you'll ever be able to enjoy its delicious food again.
"Oh, are we leaving already?" Hearing her mother's words, the tall, blue-eyed girl with short, neat hair looked towards the weapons section, pouted, and said, "But I haven't seen Miss Ling Shuang yet!"
"If you really want to learn a skill, I'll take you to Divine Weapon City to learn one."
Nan Yun gave a wry smile, then turned to look at the Dragon Gate Inn and said, "The elders of Divine Weapon City are also in Dragon City. With your high talent, they should be willing to take you in. Besides, your father left some energy stones..."
"No, those old guys in Divine Weapon City don't have much real skill, and they charge exorbitant fees. They're constantly ruining the reputation of masters..." The tall girl stubbornly shook her head, refusing her mother's offer.
"Ugh..."
The middle-aged woman sighed, patting her daughter's hand to comfort her, "Silly child, after the master's fall, Divine Weapon City no longer exists! Miss Ling Shuang is no longer the former young city lord! Even if she wanted to..."
When my daughter was young, she went to the Divine Weapon City with her father.
I have met the master, and I have also met Chu Ling Shuang, the young city lord of the Divine Weapon City with the extraordinary talent.
Attracted by Chu Ling Shuang's strength and charm, he developed a deep admiration for her.
However, she was too young to learn forging at the time, but now her daughter has awakened.
At only 14 years old, he possesses the strength of a thousand pounds, truly a man of unparalleled strength and spirit!
Originally, Na Ke went to the Divine Weapon City to become an apprentice and learn martial arts.
But... after the master's death, Divine Weapon City was no longer the same!
"Hmph! I'll just not learn it then!" the tall girl said with her head held high.
Even if she were to take on a master, she would only take on someone like Miss Ling Shuang.
Not only is he exceptionally talented, becoming a master forger at a young age, but he also possesses a strong sense of righteousness.
But those old guys have completely ruined the reputation of Divine Weapon City.
Even her dead father would not forgive her if she were to become an apprentice to those old men!
"Everyone come and see! There's a new notice in Longcheng!" someone shouted.
Immediately afterwards, a group of people swarmed around the bulletin board.
After all... in the past, whenever Longcheng posted a poster on the bulletin board, it always meant something big was happening.
“Come on, let’s go take a look too.” The mother and daughter exchanged a glance and then went over.
However, upon seeing this, the mother and daughter's eyes widened instantly, their eyes gleaming with a sharp light.
"Hahaha! Mother, did you see that?" The tall girl grabbed her mother's hand, her pretty face full of excitement. "Miss Ling Shuang said... the City Lord of Dragon City has approved her to publicly teach students!"
"Okay, okay, stop shaking me." Nan Yun rubbed his temples and said with a wry smile.
My daughter's hands are too strong; with just a few shakes, she almost dislocated her hand.
The poster reads: "Dragon City is recruiting blacksmith trainees."
Anyone aged 14-25 with a strength exceeding 200 jin (100 kg) is eligible to apply.
The instructor is none other than Chu Ling Shuang, the daughter of the master craftsman and a newly appointed master forging expert!
Furthermore, there are over a hundred of the most outstanding blacksmiths in Divine Weapon City...
If someone is exceptionally talented, they may even receive personal guidance from the city lord!
Moreover... the teaching method is exactly the same as that of the former Divine Weapon City!
"My God! Am I dreaming?" Someone slapped themselves in the face, incredulous.
"Hahaha...I'm going to register right now!" someone shouted, heading straight for the registration desk.
"I'm going too!" The others exchanged glances and rushed to the registration desk without hesitation.
You should know... even though the master has passed away.
The former Divine Weapon City remains a sacred place in the hearts of many.
Chu Ling Shuang, the former young city lord, was forced to join Dragon City.
However, in many people's hearts, the status of the master and Chu Ling Shuang remains unshakable.
Now that people know that Chu Ling Shuang is publicly taking on apprentices, many naturally want to learn from her.
"Mother, let's go too!" Nako excitedly hugged her mother's arm.
"Okay! Okay! Let's go!" The woman nodded repeatedly and was dragged away by her daughter.
As for what the poster says...
Each person pays 100 energy stones as a deposit.
This point was completely ignored by everyone!
after all...
When the master taught students in the past, many people felt that he had given too much and wanted to pay to learn from him.
Let alone paying 100 energy stones, even paying 1,000 or 10,000 would be worth it!
Because... even a level 1 or 2 blacksmith earns at least several hundred to several thousand dollars a year!
Rank 3-4 blacksmiths who can forge near-divine weapons can earn several thousand yuan a month!
"Oh no, so many people have signed up? Are we too late?" The registration area was at the entrance of the forging area. The mother and daughter were surprised to find two long lines with dozens of people in each line as soon as they arrived.
Keep in mind that this poster must have been put up recently.
If they fill all the positions, you'll miss your chance.
"Don't worry, did you notice what those people looked like?" Seeing her daughter's small hands clenched tightly, her face full of worry, the woman grabbed her daughter's hand and comforted her with a smile.
My daughter was too nervous to notice.
But when it comes to her daughter's lifelong happiness, she observes very carefully.
At the entrance to the forging area, 20 people are allowed in every so often.
It was probably a test of those people's strength and talent; each round lasted about fifteen minutes.
Of the ten people who emerged from the forging area, some were filled with excitement, while others looked dejected.
This means that these people were eliminated directly.
Ten people went in, but only three or four were selected.
This was a decision that Xiao Yu and Chu Ling Shuang discussed for a long time before finally making it.
The teaching method is exactly the same as that of the former Divine Weapon City, but it cannot accept just anyone.
A person who is too weak can't swing the hammer enough to become an excellent blacksmith.
Without paying, many people don't know how to cherish it, and it's a waste of the blacksmith's time.
The woman, on the contrary, felt that things were fine as they were, since her family was not short of a hundred energy stones anyway.
As for his own daughter, who possesses divine strength and weighs a thousand catties at the age of 14, she will not be left out of the selection.
“Mother, it’s my turn!” Nako’s voice rang out.
"Good! Go for it, daughter!" the woman encouraged her daughter at the door, and then watched as her daughter followed the other 19 people into the forging area.
"Is this the forging area?" Nako's eyes lit up the moment he entered the forging area.
The four straight and smooth walls completely protected the forging area.
Once you step inside, you'll find that there are hundreds of small, square houses.
Each house was only a dozen square meters, and the sounds of clanging and banging could be heard from time to time.
