Of course, Lu Li could tell that the middle-aged man was sarcastic about him, but it didn't hurt to say such words, so he let him go.
After all, the other party is the manager of the Ministry of Construction and has some real power in his hands. As the saying goes, the king of hell is easy to hide, but the devil is difficult to deal with. If the leader of the building department were here, Lu Li would have a way to shut him up, but a mere manager had offended him to death, and even a little obstruction would be enough to give him a headache.
Now that we have reached this point, there is no need to create extraneous problems.
Ignoring Mu Ningqiu's rather contemptuous look, Lu Li continued: "Speaking of which, the Ministry of Construction must have accounted for at least six percent of the credit for the Tiantian Holy Kingdom to be able to persist in this war for so long."
"I heard that the war weapons built by the Ministry of Construction are unparalleled in the world, and any of them are deadly weapons when put on the battlefield. You should be so vigilant, that's why you should be so vigilant."
"Where did you hear that?"
Although Lu Li's compliment made the middle-aged man's expression soften slightly, he still said vigilantly: "The Ministry of Construction has been hiding in the dark these years, more mysterious than the Ministry of Heaven and the Ministry of Earth. Except for a few members of the royal family, almost no one knows our existence."
Having said this, he gave Lu Li a meaningful look.
It was obviously a hint that there was something wrong with Lu Li's news channels.
Apart from Mu Ningqiu, the only royal member beside Lu Li was Mu Hongxiu. No matter which one of them passed the news to him, even if he won't get any punishment, it would not be nice to tell it.
The importance of the Ministry of Education is self-evident. If a member of the royal family tells this secret to others at will, they can be labeled as a person who is colluding with the enemy.
"Your Excellency is too sensitive."
However, Lu Li just smiled and said, "Although the Ministry of Construction is mysterious, it is not like there is no information channel to discover your existence."
"Furthermore, I have full respect for Zaobu. Talents like you are more important than warriors. After all, in such a large-scale war, you can even play a role in determining the outcome."
After a pause, Lu Li added, "Without the war weapons you built, I don't know how many soldiers would have died in vain."
When the middle-aged man heard this, he looked at Lu Li in surprise, and then said, "This is what we should do."
However, he did have a somewhat complacent look on his face.
After hesitating for a while, he considered it and said: "Actually speaking, the soldiers on the front line are more important than us. They are protecting the Holy Kingdom with their lives, and we are just a group of weapon refiners hiding in the rear to build weapons. .”
"I dare not say that we have achieved full success. If we can add a 20% chance of winning this war, we have not insulted His Majesty's trust."
Although it sounded like a very low-key statement, in fact, he still recognized Lu Li's words.
The Ministry of Construction indeed played a decisive role in this war.
Not only have they created a batch of brand new weapons, but also the 'monsters' that will appear on the battlefield. The middle-aged man has extremely strong self-confidence. As long as those monsters are put on the battlefield, the entire ancient world will see the Ministry of Construction. terrible. As powerful as the Jitian Demon Kingdom, it will become a stepping stone for the rise of Zaobu.
It is with this belief in mind that the whole organization maintains a high degree of concentration, everyone's heartstrings are tightened, and even the royal family is on guard.
"The workshop is ahead."
After chatting for a while, the middle-aged man led the two people through the secret door. Before they could enter, a terrifying wave of heat hit their faces.
Lu Li was fine, but Mu Ningqiu frowned and quietly channeled her Qi to block the heat wave.
As the eldest princess of the Heaven-Swallowing Holy Kingdom, Mu Ningqiu is not only pampered, but her daily life is absolutely luxurious. Although such an extreme environment cannot cause any harm to her, she is not very adaptable.
When the field of vision widened again, the two of them saw huge furnaces, metal arms that were constantly moving, and weapon refiners who were naked from the waist up, holding hammers in their hands, and constantly tapping the molds.
The tinkling sound creates a rhythmic melody.
The heat wave was coming, but the middle-aged man seemed to have been used to it for a long time, and said expressionlessly: "You two, follow closely, there are many places in this workshop that are dangerous. Especially those with people Don’t accidentally walk into a position guarded by soldiers.”
He deliberately emphasized the word "careless", as if he was worried about Lu Li and Mu Ningqiu.
Mu Ningqiu glanced at him, as if she wanted to remember this person's appearance and prepare to settle accounts in the future.
Lu Li nodded and said, "Excuse me, please take us for a walk. We won't be curious about the secrets that cannot be seen by outsiders."
Seeing that his attitude was so cooperative, the middle-aged man didn't feel embarrassed anymore and silently led the way.
This underground workshop is very large, at least several times larger than the underground palace in the imperial capital. Moreover, when Lu Li used his spiritual mind to explore, he also found many areas similar to 'thick fog'. It was obvious that an expert had arranged the formations. It was impossible to spy on what was going on inside just by using his spiritual mind. Get closer and destroy the formation without anyone noticing.
For someone with the characteristics of a formation master, it is not difficult to destroy the formation eye. However, Lu Li currently doesn't have much interest in the secrets in this workshop.
"What on earth are you going to do?"
When Mu Ningqiu saw that Lu Li actually followed the middle-aged man to visit the workshop, she couldn't help but use her spiritual mind to send a message and asked: "In this situation, it is very difficult to even touch Fang Yin. Don't tell me, you Plan to fight out from here.”
Although she had not yet sensed the aura of a master-level expert in the workshop, Mu Ningqiu knew that it was impossible for a workshop with so many secrets to be hidden without a strong person in charge.
With the strength of the two of them, it is actually not difficult to fight in this workshop. But in that case, it would be almost impossible to find Fang Yin.
The other party paid so much to hide Fang Yin. If they found someone coming to rob him, they would definitely hide Fang Yin immediately. Even if there was no time to hide Fang Yin, there was a high possibility that Fang Yin would be killed on the spot.
So Mu Ningqiu didn't understand why Lu Li was still in the mood to hang out here leisurely.
"Don't worry. I said this time I want to convince people with reason. No one worthy of my reasoning has appeared yet. Be patient. In this kind of thing, it's a matter of who is more patient."
"You are patient, aren't you afraid that this guy will take us for a walk and get nothing in the end?"
Mu Ningqiu said angrily.
Lu Li smiled slightly, "Actually, when we entered the workshop, some people could hardly sit still."
As soon as he finished speaking, the middle-aged man leading the way suddenly stopped, as if he saw something, his face changed slightly, then his steps became a little faster, and he walked forward.
"Mr. Tang, why are you here?"
The middle-aged man greeted a rugged old man in a short-sleeved suit. He wanted to say something, but then he remembered the two uninvited guests behind him. He held back half of his words and tried to wink at the old man, but the rugged man But the old man shook his head gently and said, "You go down first."
Hearing this, the middle-aged man was startled at first, and then he felt relieved. He bowed his hands to the old man repeatedly, and left in a hurry without saying hello to Lu Li and Mu Ningqiu.
"I, Tang, the great craftsman of the Ministry of Construction, have met Her Royal Highness."
The rugged old man took a step forward and greeted Mu Ningqiu respectfully.
Mu Ningqiu was also a little shocked: "Are you the work sage Tang Jian? You are not..."
"died?"
Tang Qianjian seemed to know what Mu Ningqiu was going to say, and he chuckled and said, "Gu Longting did place a reward on my head in the White Jade Tower. Unfortunately, I had a tough life and did not die in that assassination."
"I never expected that a dignified Saint of Works would actually become a weapon refiner in our Holy Kingdom of Devouring Heaven."
When Mu Ningqiu heard his words, she probably knew something, and said respectfully: "I have heard about the name of my senior for a long time, and it is a blessing for Ningqiu to meet him today."
She no longer calls herself this palace. One-third of it is because of the old man's identity, and the remaining seven parts is because she sincerely respects the old man who once stood at the top of the weapon refiner.
No matter what path it is, as long as you go to the extreme, you will be able to achieve what others cannot.
And the old man in front of him is the 'Working Saint' who has brought all the weapon refiners to the extreme!
