Wandering in the world of martial arts

Chapter 146 Furnace Town

Early the next morning.

Wu Chen and his party were already ready to go.

The destination is Furnace Town.

Whether it is to buy weapons and equipment, or to inquire about the news of the gathering places of players, or to prepare for the conquest of town-level territories, it is very necessary for Wu Chen to go to Furnace Town.

The total number of people is eight.

In addition to Wu Chen, there are seven people including Peng Yong, all from the original Ganlin Village.

On this trip, Wu Chen planned to ask Peng Yong to come forward, pretending that they were traders from Ganlin Village.

If he was the only one with a strange face, there would basically be no problem.

The purpose of doing this is to avoid arousing the vigilance of Furnace Town.

When conquering the three villages, Wu Chen deliberately issued a gag order and was not allowed to talk about him.

In addition, transportation in the wasteland is inconvenient, and people in Furnace Town will not go to the village to hang out if they have nothing to do. Xianheze should not be exposed, and disguise is feasible.

They also went with two crocodiles who were tied up.

Wu Chen captured this alive and treated it as a commodity for trade in Furnace Town.

In this wasteland, barter is generally used among small settlements. In settlements of medium size and above, the currency in circulation is mainly silver, and gold will appear only when large-scale trade is involved.

Gold and silver are still the hard currency of the wasteland.

At dusk, a group of 8 people arrived at Ganlin Village.

Naturally, Ganlin Village warmly welcomed Wu Chen and his group, but when they saw the two crocodiles, they were all taken aback.

Only then did they know that Mr. Wu had already wiped out the Crocodile King!

In addition, the accompanying citizens have been advocating Wu Chen's brilliance and martial arts, which made Wu Chen's prestige a lot higher.

After dinner, Wu Chen got an unexpected harvest.

"The hearts of the people in Ganlin Village have stabilized.

Will Ganlin Village be officially included in your territory? "

Hearing this voice, Wu Chen of course chose "Yes".

"You ruled Orange Grove Village!

You gain a little prosperity!
From now on, you will get an extra point of prosperity every month from Orange Forest Village as your ruling reward! "

Regarding this result, although Wu Chen had guessed for a long time, he was still very happy.

However, to his surprise, the system did not prompt him to add NPC attributes to the aborigines in Ganlin Village.

Moreover, in his mind, after using the Prosperity Points, there was no bright spot of Ganlin Village's industry.

This means that he cannot use any operations on the prosperity value of Ganlin Village.

Why is that?
Wu Chen asked the system in his heart, but unfortunately he didn't get an answer.

So he couldn't figure out whether the prosperity value was only useful for the Crane Lake, or only for the settlement he built himself?

In short, this is not good news.

The next day, Wu Chen and his party started to go to Lu Village with all the ore stored in the village.

In addition, before leaving, he also specially instructed the villagers to pay attention to several medicinal materials and ores if they went to Heilang Forest or Huqiu Mountain.

When we arrived at Lu Village, another two days passed.

Because of the deterrent power brought by the two crocodiles, Wu Chen successfully brought Lucun into his rule.

The same is true for Maitian Village.

Although Wu Chen didn't go there in person, he also sent the villagers of Ganlin Village to go there and told the story of how he eliminated the crocodile king, which achieved the same effect.

It was another day and a half's journey from Lu Village. In the afternoon of this day, Wu Chen and his party finally arrived at Furnace Town.

Furnace Town is at the foot of a mountain, surrounded by stone walls, and the thick smoke rising from the tall chimneys can be seen from a distance, making the whole town a bit foggy.

Wu Chen recalled from his mind what everyone had told him about Furnace Town.

Furnace Town is backed by a mountain forest. There are many mineral and timber resources on the mountain, which provide a resource base for smelting ore and making weapons.

However, it was another reason that made the location of Furnace Town finally settled here.

cold pool.

In the center of Furnace Town, there is a cold pool of water flowing down from the mountain.

It may be due to some special geographical reasons that the pool water gathered here is inherently cold, hence the name Hanchi.

In this way, when the finished weapon is quenched, the water in the cold pool can be used for rapid cooling.

In addition, the cold pool water may have other special features. In short, the weapons quenched with cold pool water will be of higher quality innately.

How big of an advantage is this?

Even some other settlements that are located far away will come from afar just to purchase the excellent weapons here.

It can be said that the core of Furnace Town lies on this cold pond.

The founder of Furnace Town is said to be a master blacksmith who was exiled from Li Guo.

It is a pity that after the master blacksmith passed away, his disciples did not unite as one, but split.

They all feel that they are the true heirs of the master.

Later, with the evolution of history, in this melting furnace town, there was never one single big blacksmith shop, but gradually formed a situation where four blacksmith shops were divided and ruled.

The four blacksmith shops have constraints and conflicts with each other.

However, when encountering foreign enemies, the four blacksmith shops will immediately put aside their conflicts and unanimously speak out.

These are the general situation of Furnace Town that Wu Chen heard.

When they approached Furnace Town, their group had already been discovered by the guards at the door.

However, Peng Yong had already taken a step ahead and showed his face in the past.

With Peng Yong showing up, their group entered smoothly.

"Captain Peng, where did you get two crocodiles?"

When their eyes rested on the two crocodiles they were carrying, the guards couldn't help showing expressions of surprise.

Crocodiles are still very rare in Furnace Town.

"Haha, good luck, I met two of them on the outskirts of the swamp, and caught them. Thinking that the weapons in the village were a bit too old, I planned to use this crocodile and the ore we carried to exchange some weapons back." Peng Yong greeted with a smile.

"Then congratulations to Captain Peng first, the crocodile is still quite fresh here. Captain Peng, go to our Li's blacksmith shop, and I promise to give you a fair price!" A guard said enthusiastically.

"Captain Peng, our Han family has just built a batch of good weapons recently, you must not miss them!"

"Our Lu family..."

"Our Guo family..."

The other three guards all shouted.

Wu Chen was speechless for a while.

This Furnace Town is a bit weird.

The guard at the gate actually works part-time to solicit business?

"Yeah, I'll go, but we'll have a rest in the town tonight, so there's no rush." ​​Peng Yong also nodded his head, and casually said something perfunctory.
