Chapter 728

Compared to the casual remark before, the Third Director's attitude this time seems to be much more sincere...

After looking at the square-headed old man's expression, Leon couldn't help but raise his eyebrows thoughtfully, then subconsciously glanced behind the square-headed old man.

And what met his gaze was exactly the fox eyes of the red-haired Director with an inexplicable smile.

"..."

*Hiss*... Could it be that from stealing the coffin before to asking for guidance just now, all of this was in your plan? But how did you know I would mention the Taurus Director, thereby arousing the Third Director's competitive spirit?

Regardless of whether it was the Director's arrangement, the guidance of a forging master is not to be missed.

Under the arrangement of the square-headed old man... ah no... the Third Director who likes to give pointers to the younger generation, Leon, who was puzzled, stood in front of the pitch-black large pot, picked up the large spoon still hanging with rust, set up the posture for forging, and then looked at the Third Director who was standing on the opposite side of the pot with his hands behind his back.

"..."

"?"

After waiting for a while without seeing Leon start forging, the square-headed old man was silent for a while, then asked with extreme speechlessness:

"No... you don't even have materials to practice? Do I have to prepare this for you too?"

"Sorry..."

Leon nodded upon hearing this and explained somewhat shyly:

"Third Generation Lord, I only joined the Cleanup Bureau for two months, so I really don't have anything in my hands, so..."

"Ah?"

After hearing Leon's words, the square-headed old man's eyes widened suddenly, and he said with a face full of disbelief:

"Olivia said you joined the Cleanup Bureau last year, so... so you didn't join for more than a year, but only joined the Cleanup Bureau for more than two months?"

"..."

Actually, it's not more than two months, but less than two months...

Looking at the Third Director whose cheek muscles were twitching constantly and clearly couldn't hold it anymore, worried that he would stimulate this big shot to not teach him, Leon had to nod and accept the "more than two months" statement, and answered somewhat embarrassedly:

"I did join the Virgin Branch last year, but it was just the end of the year when I joined, so..."

So you are just a beginner?

And you have only joined the Cleanup Bureau for more than two months in total, so how long have you been in contact with anomalous forging arts? Sixty days? You just started anomalous forging arts and came to ask me, the strongest blacksmith in history, for advice? How is that any different from me teaching a fool the angle of the sun?

Really not wanting to take on this task of "fetal education" that is like talking to a wall, but not wanting to break his promise after giving it, the Third Director had to scratch his scalp worriedly. Amidst the falling dandruff, he asked with his last hope:

"Then... how long has it been since you came into contact with anomalous forging?"

Leon recalled for a moment, then raised his hand to make a "five" with a slightly red face.

"Fifty days?"

"Last Friday..."

"..."

Are you two here to play with me?

The psychological defense line that was already precarious was completely shattered by Leon's "last Friday." The Third Director of the Cleanup Bureau took a deep breath, then stomped his feet vigorously while pointing at the entrance of the cemetery and shouted angrily:

"Go! You go! All of you go!!!"

"Third Generation Lord, don't be anxious~"

Seeming to have anticipated this situation, the red-haired Director waiting on the side said with a smile:

"Although Leon hasn't been in contact with anomalous forging for long, his talent in secret arts is very good. Besides the Taurus anomalous forging secret arts, he has even entered the door of the Aquarius anomalous creation secret arts."

"What? He learned two secret arts?"

"It might even be three. The Pisces Director of this generation seems to be interested in Leon too."

"..." "In short, Leon's talent in secret arts is definitely not bad."

Looking at the square-headed old man who seemed to be moved, the red-haired Director said with a smile:

"And Lord Taurus once said that after she ascends the palace, Leon can try to see if he can replace her and become the next Taurus Director. If it weren't for her self-sealing, she might have taught Leon personally."

"You are clearly the person with the highest forging level in the world, but because you lack the recognition of the Taurus Star Palace, the effect is always a line worse, and you can only become the second best blacksmith. Don't you feel regret?"

"Third Generation Lord, think about it. Although you can't be the number one among the living, if the blacksmith you taught can become the next generation of Taurus..."

"Stop stop stop! Don't play tricks on me!"

After shaking his head vigorously, the Third Director, who barely broke free from the brainwashing magic sound, curled his lips:

"You said so much, isn't it just to make me teach him? No! Even if I really want to teach a Taurus, I won't pick up what others have left behind!"

"This kid has already been given pointers by Taurus. If he becomes the new Taurus in the future, this credit might not necessarily be counted on me... In short, I won't teach! Definitely won't teach!"

"Really won't teach?"

"Absolutely won't teach!"

"Third Generation Lord, you aren't afraid, are you?"

"???"

Looking at the red-haired Director with a suspicious face in front of him, the square-headed old man couldn't help but be amused to the point of anger, pointing at Leon and asking back:

"Him? What could I be afraid of him for?"

"Afraid that he will surpass you~"

The red-haired Director tilted her head slightly and said thoughtfully:

"Leon possesses two secret arts and is favored by the Taurus of this generation. If he learns your forging methods, he might be able to push the upper limit of forging secret arts forward by a large margin."

"If that situation really happens, then you won't be the strongest blacksmith in history anymore. And if he dies and you compare with Leon's soul, and you don't win..."

"You're talking nonsense!"

The square-headed old man said angrily:

"Damn it! You are deliberately using words to provoke me! Wanting me to teach him with all my might! Do you think I can't see it?"

"Yes, I really did plan that."

After admitting her plan without covering it up, the red-haired Director asked back with a smile:

"Then are you teaching or not?"

"I..."

"Leon is gifted, and Lord Taurus once said that if she were to teach him, Leon would at least..."

"Shut up! I'll teach! I'll teach him, is that okay!"

The Third Director, who was so angry that his beard was blowing and his eyes were staring, stomped his feet, then ran back to his dug-up grave, hugged out a pile of things buried underneath, and threw them to Leon's feet with a "clatter."

"Take it! Use whichever you want! Damn it! I want to see what kind of thing you can forge!"

"..."

Understood, the Director brought him here to rob.

After looking at the precious materials piled up like garbage at his feet, almost every one of which had an aura no worse than the snake tail and started at the Holy Spirit level, and then looking at the red-haired Director who kept winking at him, Leon had to silently pick up a material and throw it into the pot, learning the square-headed old man's previous appearance, and started stirring with a large soup spoon.

Although it's a bit bad to pit the old man, but... since the Director isn't drunk now, she must have her reasons for doing this. I can only choose to believe the Director!
