Blacksmith: You Are Making Mjolnir For The Forging Exam?

Chapter 70 The Gathering Of The Various Powers, The Mayor's Declaration

"You speak as if it's the truth. Do you even understand?"

The student who had spoken earlier was a little unhappy with the other party's attitude and immediately retorted.

However, the young man was not in a hurry as he rubbed his eyes. "Haha, I'm sorry, but I really do understand. My father does this kind of work.

"This grand auditorium in Shanglin City has a history of 500 years. It was planned and built by Foster, who was extremely famous at that time. Moreover, it was reinforced by the great blacksmith, Hawkins Creek, more than 20 years ago."

As he spoke, the young man raised his head and pointed at the four walls. He said in a clear voice, "The walls around this auditorium have been drawn with a Tier 3 magic array. Not only can it withstand meteorite shells, but it can also withstand the attack of an Epic weapon. The entire auditorium is made hot in winter and cold in summer. It's like a central air conditioner with a constant temperature.

"It can be said that it's warm in winter and cool in summer. It's as if it's impregnable!"

When the young man with the golden-rimmed glasses introduced it, the surrounding people immediately widened their eyes.

They did not expect this huge auditorium to not only have an advantageous location and unique scenery but also had such a function. For a moment, they all took out their phones to take photos as a memento.

They were prepared for the topic of conversation after dinner.

Not long after, everyone arrived at their respective assessment areas.

At this moment, many of the large organizations that collaborated with the Divine Arms Academy also entered.

There were Spirit Slayer Academy, which specialized in manufacturing weapons, and Le Zhan Interlink, which specialized in customizing high-end equipment.

Out of the dozen or so organizations that collaborated with the Divine Arms Academy, three of them were state-run enterprises. Not only did they receive high benefits, but they also had good room for advancement.

These were all things that everyone had racked their brains to get into.

However, the recruitment criteria for a state-owned enterprise were not low. Only the outstanding students of the academy could get tickets and have the qualifications to enter the enterprise.

Dozens of representatives from the enterprise took their seats one by one as the many students welcomed them.

Right then, the principal who was standing on the podium proudly said, "I would like to introduce to all the students that the next person to enter the venue is researcher Zhou Jinlong from the National Artifact Research Department! We have the honor to invite him to be the special guest judge of this design competition. Please give him a round of applause!"

The dean's words made most of the students excited.

They had heard from their teachers that the National Artifact Research Department would also send people to this design assessment.

Moreover, it was possible to give the participants the right direction of guidance.

Although it was unlikely for them to enter the National Artifact Research Department, it was also very rare for them to be guided by one or two of the researchers.

Therefore, when the students saw the young man in the National Artifact Research Department's signature clothing walk into the hall, the entire auditorium suddenly erupted into thunderous applause!

Many representatives of the enterprises frequently looked sideways, wanting to see what was outstanding about the people from the National Artifact Research Department.

Zhou Jinlong, who came from the National Artifact Research Department, was younger than 40 years old. He was wearing a long black robe with a badge on his cuff, which depicted the logo of the National Artifact Research Department.

On his chest, there were patterns of six auspicious clouds that represented the strength of the forgers.

Zhou Jinlong had a well-proportioned body, but he was not particularly handsome. He was the kind of person who could not be picked out if he was thrown into a crowd.

However, his eyes were unusually deep, and everyone felt nervous when they looked at him.

Clearly, his strength could not be underestimated.

The students who looked at Zhou Jinlong became even more respectful and envious, especially after seeing the auspicious cloud on his chest.

Zhou Jinlong looked around and returned to his seat a moment later.

However, the opening ceremony of the design assessment was not over yet.

The next to appear were the two famous chambers of commerce in Shanglin City. They were Treasure Pavilion on Changxi Street and the Wei family, which provided equipment for the military.

The two major forces entered respectively. The first from Treasure Pavilion to enter was the tenth elder, who was wearing a Chinese tunic suit.

Although the tenth elder appeared a bit old, his energy and spirit were not inferior to that of an ordinary person. Behind him were several cultivators brought from the headquarters. There were more than a dozen people, including the store manager, Gao Yue, and several main managers.

On the Wei family's side, only six people appeared. The leader was the five-star forger, Wei Ying, and behind him were several members of the Wei family.

From the looks of the negotiations between the two forces, it was obvious that the two sides did not seem to be on good terms.

In fact, most of the people present knew that the Wei family had previously run a chamber of commerce called Unique Treasure Hall.

However, due to some matters, Treasure Pavilion ended up seizing Unique Treasure Hall, and it disappeared from Shanglin City.

p Now, other than providing equipment for the military, the Wei family did not have any channels to sell Divine weapons to the outside world.

The competition between the chambers of commerce had dealt a heavy blow to the Wei family.

Their family business had evaporated by 10% overnight, and they had also become the laughingstock of others.

However, the one who caused this was a student who was not even 20 years old.

The other students of the Divine Arms Academy immediately focused their gazes on Wu Mo.

The latter was already used to it and had already subconsciously blocked those gazes.

"Finally, let us invite the mayor of Shanglin City to complete this opening ceremony!" the old principal said joyfully.

Everyone immediately looked toward the entrance.

At that instant, the mayor, who was dressed in formal attire, walked out with steady steps.

He looked straight at everyone. Just his aura alone made the entire great hall quiet down.

"Mayor, we are extremely happy that you are able to attend the Divine Arms Academy's graduation design assessment. I believe that the students will also be extremely happy."

The principal quickly went forward to welcome him and spoke in a sincere tone.

Mayor Zhao Lu walked up to the ceremonial stage, and the people around him immediately handed over their microphones.

"As the mayor of Shanglin City, I feel honored to be invited to participate in the Divine Arms Academy's assessment. Here, not only can I see the traces of all the students' hard work, but I can also appreciate the spirit of fighting bravely. I believe that the graduation work that you present will be excellent, even comparable to a Divine weapon!"

Looking at the countless students below, Zhao Lu knew that one of them had to have forged the Divine weapon yesterday.

Thinking of this, he was a little excited, and his speech deviated from the draft that he had written previously.

The principal who was standing at the side was a little confused. Why did the mayor speak his mind?

"In short, I wish that all the students here will be able to enter their ideal company or organization. You will live up to your dreams!"

The entire auditorium was silent. After the mayor finished his speech, thunderous applause resounded.

"Alright... Next, on behalf of the Divine Arms Academy, I would like to announce the commencement of this graduation design assessment!"

Seeing that everything was ready, the principal did not waste any more time and immediately announced the start of the assessment.

Melodious music rang out in the auditorium, and all of the students entered the examination area in batches.

The judges for this assessment were all five-star blacksmiths who had been transferred from the government. They would give each student's work a multi-dimensional score according to strict standards.
