But when they turned their eyes toward Gengxin City's towering walls in the distance, they were all stunned.
The outer walls surrounding all of Gengxin City were iron-gray, as if they had been cast from metal itself, an awe-inspiring sight.
"As expected of the City of Metal. Its reputation is well deserved."
Liu Erlong widened her eyes and spoke again.
The group entered Gengxin City smoothly along its main road. As an overlooked border town of the Star Luo Empire, Gengxin City was not particularly large.
Before long, they arrived at the heart of the city. There was only one enormous building here, roughly thirty meters tall.
"Aunt Erlong, what is that?"
Ma Hongjun pointed upward and asked curiously.
Everyone followed the direction of his finger and saw a dark iron plaque hanging high above the building.
There were no words on it, only raised patterns of a hammer and a chisel.
"This... I don't know either."
Liu Erlong frowned slightly. Though she tried hard to recall, she could not remember anything about this place.
Although she knew of Gengxin City, she had only heard others mention it in passing.
"This is the Blacksmith Association Headquarters."
Lin Feng lowered his voice and answered calmly.
"The Blacksmith Association Headquarters? Lin Feng, don't tell me you came here because you want to become a blacksmith."
Upon learning this, Dugu Yan asked without thinking.
They had not rested once during their long journey these past days.
She truly could not think of any reason for him to be in such a hurry unless he had suddenly become interested in blacksmithing.
It had been the same before when she was with him. He had said that he wanted to eat the pine nut candy sold in Heaven Dou City when he was a child.
