Chapter 639: Master Mohan

Upon entering Sain Ancient City, the first thing Chen Jing saw was a massive blacksmith shop.

The large banner hanging from this blacksmith shop depicted a wooden wine barrel, with earth-yellow wine flowing out from a small hole in the barrel.

Most eye-catching of all was the long line waiting in front of this blacksmith shop. It was currently noon, and the sun was extremely scorching; many people in the queue had beads of sweat overflowing on their foreheads, yet not a single one of them had any complaints, merely gazing at the blacksmith shop ahead with burning eyes.

"Lingyun, what is going on here? Could it be that there is something special about that blacksmith shop?" Chen Jing asked with some curiosity.

"That blacksmith shop is a Dwarf Blacksmith Shop. Look at those people; some are holding rare metals in their hands, while others are holding precious fine wines. It seems there is some formidable Master blacksmith in this shop!" Lingyun's gaze swept over the people in line as he said this to Chen Jing.

"A formidable Master blacksmith?" Chen Jing muttered.

"Let's go, let's grab a meal first, and then we can gather some information," Lingyun said.

The three of them scanned the street, then walked into the tavern opposite the blacksmith shop. As soon as they entered the tavern, a waiter immediately walked over and led the three of them toward an empty table.

"What would you like to eat?" The waiter handed a menu to Lingyun.

Lingyun scanned the menu, ordered a few dishes, and then handed the menu to Chen Jing, letting the two of them order for themselves.

"Hello, I would like to ask, does that blacksmith shop opposite have some Dwarf Master blacksmith? There are actually so many people queuing outside," Lingyun asked the waiter beside him.

"Ah, this, that's right. Sir is newly arrived in Sain, aren't you?" The waiter was slightly startled, then nodded and said.

"That's right, we are indeed newly arrived in Sain. Seeing that there are so many people queuing at that blacksmith shop opposite, we are a bit interested," Lingyun said.

"Then you really asked the right person, Sir. I am more than familiar with the situation at that blacksmith shop opposite," the waiter said to Lingyun. "You might not know, but a few days ago, several Heavenly Domain Blacksmiths arrived in Sain one after another, and the place they are staying is that blacksmith shop opposite."

"Several Heavenly Domain Blacksmiths?" Hearing the waiter's words, Chen Jing and the other, who had just finished ordering, were also taken aback.

A Heavenly Domain Blacksmith is no ordinary figure. To become a Heavenly Domain Blacksmith, one must at least forge ten pieces of Heavenly Domain-level equipment. Forging Heavenly Domain-level equipment is no simple matter; besides the forging materials and techniques, there is an implicit requirement: one's strength must reach the Heavenly Domain. Without reaching the Heavenly Domain, it is fundamentally difficult to suppress the energy that leaks out the moment the forging of Heavenly Domain-level equipment is completed. If one cannot suppress this energy back into the equipment, then this piece of Heavenly Domain-level equipment is considered ruined.

In the entire Norton Empire, there are only twenty-two known Heavenly Domain Blacksmiths, and their whereabouts are hard to track. Now that several of them have gathered here, it is no wonder the people queuing outside are so excited.

"Several Heavenly Domain Blacksmiths have all run to a Dwarf Blacksmith Shop. What is this for? Could it be that this shop has something unusual about it?" Lingyun raised an eyebrow.

"If it were in the past, then truly no. But yesterday, Master Mohan of the Dwarf Race came to this blacksmith shop in person. Those few Heavenly Domain Blacksmiths came here precisely because they were invited by him," the waiter said.

"Mohan?" Lingyun raised an eyebrow slightly.

He had once heard Dewalin mention this name; he was his cousin, and also the youngest and most gifted blacksmith of the Dwarf Race, hailed as the person with the most hope of surpassing the Heavenly Domain Blacksmiths since the Millennium Holy War.

"That's right, it is Master Mohan. You should know that Master Mohan rarely takes action to forge equipment, but as long as the equipment he forges is at least Saint Domain level. However, Master Mohan has always been low-key and his whereabouts are uncertain; wanting to find his tracks and ask him to forge equipment is not an easy task," the waiter said. "Now that his whereabouts are finally known, those people are naturally rushing over like mad."

"Are these people sure they can move Master Mohan?" Chen Jing put down the menu and asked.

"Master Mohan has two great hobbies in his life: the first is wine, and the second is all kinds of rare materials. If you have forging materials that Master Mohan finds pleasing to the eye, you can ask him to forge a piece of equipment for you. If the material is rare enough, Master Mohan might even forge it for you for free. If you have truly peerless fine wine in your hands, Master Mohan might even pay for the materials himself to forge equipment for you," the waiter said.

"I didn't expect this Master Mohan to be such a character!" Lingyun said with a smile. "However, why would this Master suddenly appear in Sain?"

"As for this, I only found out in the last few days. It is said that this blacksmith shop was Master Mohan's practice site before he became famous, and Master Mohan returns here from time to time to take a look. Later, it seems the Light Church learned of this, and they sent people to be stationed specifically in Sain, hoping to meet Master Mohan and ask him to help repair a Sacred Gear. After Master Mohan saw that Sacred Gear, he sent invitations to several of his close friends, planning to head to the Light Holy City together, and their meeting point is this little shop," the waiter said.

"You certainly know the details of such matters quite well!" Su Wanyue glanced at the waiter.

"Well, because of Master Mohan's blessing, the business of our little shop has been rising steadily. The guests who come to us talk a bit about Master Mohan, so I learned a little more," the waiter put away the menu and smiled somewhat shyly.

"So that's how it is?" Su Wanyue nodded slightly.

After the waiter left, Chen Jing looked toward Lingyun with some curiosity: "Lingyun, what do you think that Sacred Gear the Light Church asked Master Mohan to repair is? It's so important that even Master Mohan has to invite several peers to repair it together?"

"I wouldn't know that. After all, that guy, the Light God, loved collecting all kinds of equipment the most back then, saying he wanted to build a treasury that could rival the King of Heroes Treasury," Lingyun spread his hands. "Later, when leaving the Continent, the Light God left a portion of the equipment he had collected to the Light Church. How would I know what he left behind, or what is broken and needs repair!"

"A treasury that could rival the King of Heroes Treasury?" Su Wanyue looked at Lingyun with a strange expression. "Don't tell me this was your doing again!"

"As for this, I just said it casually at the time; who knew this guy would keep it in mind all this time," Lingyun said with some helplessness.

"Lingyun, why don't we go take a look after we finish eating!" Chen Jing suddenly said to Lingyun.

"Hmm, alright. But if we want to see Mohan, we will need some things," Lingyun nodded and said.
