Hearing Ye Li admitting his identity as a weaponsmith, Bogut was stunned and said, "Then why didn't you go and pledge allegiance to the royal family? Isn't it said that weaponsmiths who pledge allegiance to the royal family and help forge the Soul Gathering Cannon will receive very generous benefits? I heard that most of the weaponsmiths in the Jinde Empire have become weaponsmiths for the royal family."
Ye Li was stunned when he heard this. He didn't expect that most of the weaponsmiths in the Jinde Empire had joined the King's Division. But when he thought about it carefully, this was normal. After all, the Jinde Empire had mastered the Soul Gathering Cannon for many years and must have needed to cast it in large quantities, so the demand for weaponsmiths would be very high.
Now that the Farant Empire is able to cast soul-gathering cannons, I believe they will also widely recruit civilian weaponsmiths to join them, so as to ensure sufficient productivity.
Ye Li's eyes turned, and he found an excuse and said, "I don't want to join the royal family. After all, once the Soul Gathering Cannon is forged, it means that part of the secret of the Soul Gathering Cannon has been touched.
Even if he is able to leave the royal family and travel again in the future, he will definitely be subject to certain restrictions.
I am still so young, I don't want to be trapped in the royal family and spend my old age casting soul gathering cannons. No matter how much profit I get, what's the point."
Hearing Ye Li's words, Bogut immediately nodded in understanding and said, "What you said makes sense. Brother Ye is so young and powerful. If he is bound by the royal family, he may not achieve much in the future. It is better for him to go out and make his own way.
After all, spiritual practice cannot be improved by working behind closed doors; it still requires a lot of external stimulation.
By the way, if Brother Ye chooses to stay in Sea Star City to forge weapons and wait for the ban on going out to sea to be lifted, then you might as well live directly in the yard of my Sea Blue Caravan.
Our Hailan Caravan has a shop in the city, and there is a small manor outside the city.
Usually there aren't many people living in the manor. When we go out for business, most people leave, so it's actually very quiet there. It should be a good place for you to forge weapons or practice."
Hearing Bogut's words, Ye Li's eyes lit up and asked, "Is there such a place?"
Bogut said: "Yes, Brother Ye saved our lives and our goods before, so please don't refuse my invitation now and live with us.
I'll set aside a secluded spot for you at the back of the yard so no one can disturb you.
If you live in our manor, once Tov sends someone to inform us about going out to sea, we can tell you immediately to avoid the situation where we can't find you. " After thinking about it, Ye Li didn't bother to be polite with the other party, nodded, and said: "Okay, then I will obey your order and live in your mansion, but I hope I won't disturb you. "
Bogut waved his hand and said, "I won't bother you. It's a great joy for us that you can move in.
And if you make a weapon in the future, we can help you sell it, which should be quite convenient for you."
There was a gleam in Bogut's eyes as he spoke, making him look like a typical businessman.
Ye Li was stunned for a moment, then he finally reacted. It seemed that the purpose of Bogut moving him in was not just to make things convenient for him.
If a small chamber of commerce could cooperate with a weaponsmith, it would be like a big piece of fat meat falling into one's mouth.
But this is a win-win situation. He has to find buyers for his talismans on his own, and negotiating one deal after another must be very tiring.
But now if there is Bogut's Chamber of Commerce and the other party helps him sell the talismans, he will try every means to create some gimmicks to increase the value of the talismans.
At that time, he will give Bogut a commission. The higher the price of the talisman, the more money Bogut will make, and he can also earn enough fame for the Hailan Chamber of Commerce.
Ye Li had no objection to this. After all, a win-win situation meant that they both made money. Moreover, after spending some time together, he also realized that Bogut was a pretty good person. So if he really forged the talisman and asked the other party to help him sell it, there would be no problem.
After the two of them had discussed it, Ye Li followed Bogut to the shop of the Hailan Caravan in Starfish City.
After everyone had unloaded the goods, some of them followed Bogut and walked out of the city.
The manor of the Sea Blue Caravan is next to a hill not far from Sea Star City. It offers a great view of the blue sea not far away, and the environment is quite nice.
After Bogut led Ye Li into the manor, he took Ye Li all the way to an open space at the innermost part of the manor.
The courtyard wall here is not high, just enough to see the sea in the distance. The scenery is very beautiful.
Bogut said: "Brother Ye, this is where my father used to live, but he passed away two years ago, so this place is vacant.
If you don't mind, I'll have someone clean up the place and you can live here.
Later I will find someone to build a wall outside and completely isolate this place, so that no one will come to disturb you. "
Hearing Bogut's arrangement, Ye Li nodded and said, "Then I'll have to trouble old man Bogut. I am very satisfied with this arrangement."
Bogut laughed when he heard this and said, "As long as you are satisfied, you don't have to be polite to me.
By the way, Brother Ye, if you want to start a furnace to cast weapons, do you need us to help you prepare anything?"
Ye Li said: "I really need your help, I want to buy some materials.
After all, I have traveled here and I don’t have a good furnace, so I plan to forge a casting furnace myself.”
The fire-gathering box that Ou Qianxie gave him in the past could no longer keep up with his realm. Ye Li was now an earth-level weaponsmith, and a basic weaponsmith like the fire-gathering box was really of no use.
He had previously studied the furnace casting method, so he planned to cast a good casting furnace himself.
"I wonder if Brother Ye needs to buy anything. Can we help you?"
Bogut asked.
Ye Li thought about it and realized that he had a lot of good materials in his hands, but they were all related to gold and fire. They were also the rewards given to him by others when he cast talismans for them in the past.
These two types of earth-level materials with different properties alone can make a good foundry furnace, but Ye Li feels that this is not enough. If he wants to make a better foundry furnace, he needs some other materials.
"Uncle Bogut, the things I need are a bit complicated. I will write them to you after I settle down. I really need your help in preparing them. After all, you are a businessman, and your ability to find things is much better than mine."
Ye Li did not behave politely with the other party. After all, the other party would also benefit from his forging of the weapon. In this regard, they could barely be considered to be cooperating.
Bogut nodded and said, "Okay, no problem. I'll take you to the house first. We'll talk about everything after you settle down."
