“Oh… what is this thing?”

Suddenly, a light cloak appeared in his sight.

Since there was nothing similar to it in the entire exhibition cabinet, Zhao Lu asked curiously the moment he noticed the style of the cloak.

“Mayor, this is a Mercury Cloak. It can block a large amount of magic damage and remove negative effects. The original cloak is not in Treasure Pavilion. You can see that this is a replica.”

Gao Yue continued to introduce the cloak. However, a slightly skinny figure appeared in his mind… Wu Mo.

These two pieces of equipment had been forged by Wu Mo.Even the mayor was full of praise for them. It was extremely fortunate that he was able to invite Wu Mo to become a special consultant for Treasure Pavilion.

Gao Yue could not help but feel proud of his own unique vision. If he had not discovered Wu Mo’s strength some time ago, he would not have been qualified to invite Wu Mo to be Treasure Pavilion’s consultant now.

Zhao Lu nodded his head in satisfaction in Treasure Pavilion’s exhibition hall.

“It has been many years since we last met. The tenth elder’s forging technique is still as unique and powerful as ever.

“However, the tenth elder has been in the city for a few days and hasn’t contacted me. Has he had any urgent matters during this period of time?” Zhao Lu asked indirectly as he walked around the hall.

He had visited to ask about the Divine weapon. Although the other weapons were quite good, they were still far from the quality of this Divine weapon.

In order to save time, he went straight to the point.

Seeing that the mayor was looking for the tenth elder and that he sounded a little hurt, Gao Yue did not dare delay and immediately explained, “I’m sorry, Mayor. Although the tenth elder has been in Shanglin City for a few days, he hasn’t been able to find time to see you.

“Previously, the tenth elder wanted to visit your residence and borrow a furnace, but later…”

At this point, Manager Gao suddenly stopped. He felt that going to the bank to get the cauldron was not honorable, so he was about to skip it.

However, at this time, the mayor’s eyes suddenly lit up, and he immediately said, “Oh, borrow a cauldron? Hurry up and tell me what happened after that?”

Gao Yue felt a little helpless and could only tell him everything.

“After that, the tenth elder went to the bank and took the treasure-gathering cauldron at the entrance, but—”

Before he could finish speaking, Mayor Zhao Lu interrupted him.

By then, Zhao Lu had already verified his guess from Gao Yue’s words.

Equipment like an Interspatial Ring and Mercury Cloak could only be made by a mighty figure like the tenth elder who had immersed himself in the forging industry for decades.

Furthermore, the fact that he had gone to the bank to ask for a cauldron meant that the tenth elder needed a powerful furnace that could refine a divine weapon.

From this, it was apparent that the abnormal phenomenon last night must have been the tenth elder’s success in refining the Divine weapon.

“As expected…”

Zhao Lu was a little excited. As the mayor, he had never seen the appearance of a Divine weapon. Now that the tenth elder had broken through his shackles and refined a divine weapon, he had to take a good look!

“Manager Gao, is the tenth elder in Treasure Pavilion now? Take me to see him, quickly.”

This time, Gao Yue was dumbfounded.

He had yet to finish his words when the mayor abruptly became so excited. Did he misunderstand something?

But now, it was not up to him.

The mayor had already spoken, so how could he have the right to disobey?

“Okay… Okay!”

The three people walked to the second floor of Treasure Pavilion one after another. Without waiting for Gao Yue to knock on the door, Mayor Zhao Lu directly pushed the door open and walked in.

At this moment, the tenth elder was burning incense and meditating to consolidate his spirit sense.

Suddenly, a voice woke him up from his empty state. He was unhappy and about to get angry when he opened his eyes. However, he realized that the person who entered was Mayor Zhao Lu.

“Hahaha… we haven’t seen each other for two years, but the tenth elder still has a youthful face and white hair. His spirit and energy are still the same as before.”

Zhao Lu smiled and walked into the room. The clerk at the side immediately followed him.

Although the tenth elder felt a little depressed after his cultivation was interrupted, when he saw his old friend whom he had not seen for many years, the frustration in his heart was washed away.

He immediately stood up and smilingly instructed Gao Yue to prepare tea.

A moment later, the small group arrived at the VIP room.

Mayor Zhao Lu sat down, while the clerk stood behind him.

“Tenth Elder, it has been a few years since we last met. I didn’t expect you to still be so valiant. You actually broke through last night and completed the forging of a Divine weapon. Old friend, here’s to you. Later on, bring out the Divine weapon and let me pay my respects.”

Zhao Lu’s face beamed with joy. When he thought about the fact that their Shangling City also had a divine weapon, he was extremely excited.

However, at this moment, after the tenth elder understood the mayor’s intentions, he was stunned on the spot. He looked at Gao Yue with a dumbfounded expression.

‘I made a Divine weapon? What is he talking about?’

When he saw the tenth elder look at him with a puzzled gaze, Gao Yue immediately shrugged his shoulders, indicating that he did not know either.

Seeing that the two of them had been exchanging glances for a long time, Zhao Lu began to wonder in his heart. Could he have guessed wrongly? Was there someone else who was the master of forging the Divine weapon?

However, since he had said it out, it would be difficult to change his words.

“Tenth Elder, you mean to say that the strange phenomenon in Shanglin City’s sky last night was not your doing?”

Facing the mayor’s question, the tenth elder shook his head repeatedly.

“Mayor, you think too highly of me. I didn’t do it.”

“However, I did sense the aura of the Divine weapon that you sensed yesterday.”

At this point, the tenth elder frowned, “And it should be in the southeast direction, not far from our Treasure Pavilion. It should be from the Divine Arms Academy… Could it be?”

As he thought about it, he paused for a moment. It was not a trivial matter, and he was not too sure.

Nevertheless, a figure appeared in his mind. It was Wu Mo, who had gone with him to Unusual Treasure Hall to loot the chamber two days ago.

Although Wu Mo was young, his forging techniques were highly sophisticated, and his thinking was flexible, even if he had not seen the equipment he forged before.

However, the mayor seemed to misunderstand. He stood up and tapped the table lightly. With a firm tone, he said, “Oh… I see. I understand!”

‘You… You understand again?’

The tenth elder was speechless. He was very familiar with the principal of the Divine Arms Academy.

The principal was indeed powerful, but if he could forge a Divine weapon, he would have done so long ago. He would not have waited until now.

The old principal was already in his seventies. Although he was a peak seven-star blacksmith in Shanglin City, there was still a big gap between him and someone who could forge a Divine weapon.

It seemed like this misunderstanding was getting deeper and deeper.

Zhao Lu stood up and said with certainty, “The old principal of the Divine Arms Academy was a powerful figure when he was young. Now that he has been in the academy for so many years, he must have become a magnate. A Divine weapon is nothing to him.”

“The abnormal celestial phenomenon happened to appear in the sky above the Divine Weapon Academy yesterday. It has to be him.”

Zhao Lu analyzed the situation rationally, and the clerk immediately clapped his hands. “The mayor is right. The principal has been searching on the path of forging for so many years, and he must have succeeded! It has to be him,” the clerk said excitedly.
