Chapter 68: A Divine Artifact’s Aura, It Actually Came From the Student Dormitory?

Seeing the mayor and the clerk sing in unison, the tenth elder was speechless.

Laymen did not know the difficulty of forging a Divine artifact. Not to mention, the princ.i.p.al had been studying diligently for decades. If his strength, realm, and concept of forging did not change drastically, it would be useless even if he waited for another 500 years.

However, the mayor had already made his decision, so he could not say anything else.

The mayor said goodbye to the tenth elder with antic.i.p.ation. Then, he immediately got into his carriage and rushed toward the Divine Arms Academy with the clerk.

On the way, the residents avoided the carriage as soon as they saw it. At the same time, they were surprised that the mayor would appear on the streets in broad daylight.

They could not help but look in the direction where the carriage disappeared.

After a while, the mayor arrived at the Divine Arms Academy.

With a teacher’s guidance, they quickly arrived at the princ.i.p.al’s office.

“I didn’t know that the mayor was here! I didn’t welcome you.”

The old princ.i.p.al with gray hair immediately stood up and went up to welcome him with a surprised look.

Zhao Lu smiled and nodded. “Today, I have some free time, so I wanted to pay a visit. I hope I didn’t disturb you.”

The staff at the side immediately helped to serve tea.

The two of them drank tea as they reminisced about the past.

“Mayor, have you really come to me this time just to chat?”

A moment later, the princ.i.p.al was the first to lose all pretenses. He could only ask the question that had been brewing in his heart for a long time.

When the mayor came, the princ.i.p.al had some doubts in his heart.

Although the two of them were good old friends, the mayor had to personally attend to a myriad of matters every day. If the mayor said that he had nothing else to do, he would not believe it even if he was beaten to death.

However, after the two of them chatted for a while, they would arrive at a point. However, the mayor did not seem to be talking about the main subject, causing him to feel a little anxious.

The clerk standing behind the mayor could not stand properly either.

Usually, he would work in his office or follow the mayor to other places to do business. He would not stand for more than a few minutes a day.

Now, he had already stood in two places for almost an hour. At this time, his calves were a little sore.

“Uh… that… Actually, I have a small matter to confirm with you.”

At this time, Zhao Lu saw that the conversation was almost over, so he told him the purpose of his trip.

“Yesterday, I saw a strange phenomenon in the sky above your Divine Arms Academy. It should be you who forged a Divine weapon, right?”

Saying this, Zhao Lu’s gaze was fixed on the princ.i.p.al’s face. At the same time, his expression was filled with antic.i.p.ation as he wanted to receive a definite answer.

But the princ.i.p.al’s office was strangely quiet.

The princ.i.p.al and the mayor stared at each other, and the surrounding teachers also had puzzled expressions.

They had discussed the strange phenomenon yesterday, but up until now, they still did not know the reason behind it.

They did not expect the mayor to visit with regard to this matter as well.

It was just that the princ.i.p.al had been busy with work yesterday and had not been working on refining any Divine weapons or equipment for the past few months.

Why was the mayor so sure that the strange phenomenon yesterday was caused by the princ.i.p.al?

“Mayor Zhao, this is no small matter. I wouldn’t dare do this. Even if I have the skills, I’d definitely go to a spa.r.s.ely populated area to minimize the damage to the city, not to mention the fact that I haven’t refined any equipment in the past few months,” the princ.i.p.al said with a serious expression.

Zhao Lu immediately felt numb.

In Shanglin City, the strongest in the forging field were the tenth elder and the princ.i.p.al of the Divine Arms Academy.

However, he did not expect that even after two visits, he still would not find the real blacksmith who had forged the Divine weapon.

If the old princ.i.p.al was not the blacksmith, then who was it?

Who had the ability to forge a Divine weapon that could trigger the phenomenon of heaven and earth?

Zhao Lu felt that the matter was a bit troublesome.

There was clearly such a powerful blacksmith in Shanglin City, but he knew nothing about it.

Thinking of this, Zhao Lu gradually felt ashamed.

He could not randomly guess anymore. Since the tenth elder had sensed the presence of the Divine Arms Academy, there should still be clues nearby.

Mayor Zhao Lu quickly left the office and walked toward the rooftop.

The clerk immediately followed. The princ.i.p.al did not understand, but in order to ensure the mayor’s safety, he immediately ordered a few cultivators to follow.

Yesterday’s rain had made the rooftop of Teaching Building No. 5 a bit muddy.

The breeze was pleasant, and the leaves swayed and rustled everywhere, making a rustling sound.

“Mayor, what do you mean by this?”

The princ.i.p.al walked forward and said with some confusion.

Zhao Lu did not say anything. Instead, he took out an ancient compa.s.s from his pocket.

He poured spirit energy into the compa.s.s with a serious look.

The clerk behind him immediately explained, “The mayor is using a sensing technique to find the location of the Divine artifact. Please wait for a moment.”

The old princ.i.p.al nodded. He looked at the ancient compa.s.s floating in the air, his eyes full of surprise.

He had known the mayor for decades, but he had never seen the mayor use a secret technique.

It seemed that the mayor was very concerned about the Divine weapon.

However, the princ.i.p.al did not think that the secret technique could find the location of the Divine weapon.

After all, Shanglin City was so vast, so it was unlikely that the Divine weapon was in the academy.

At this moment, the light emitted from the compa.s.s continued to spread in all directions. It did not take long for it to cover more than half of the Divine Arms Academy.

Zhao Lu continued to pour spirit energy into it. The surrounding people were afraid of disturbing the mayor, so they all became silent.

Dong… Dong… Peng!

Suddenly, a strange sound came from the compa.s.s. In the next second, a red pillar of light suddenly shot from the dormitory building to the north of the Divine Arms Academy.

It was the remnant aura of a Divine weapon!

After observing this phenomenon, Zhao Lu was immediately shocked.

Could it be that the person who forged the Divine weapon was not a hermit, but a student of the Divine Arms Academy?!

At this point, Mayor Zhao Lu was not the only shocked one.

The clerk by his side also widened his eyes, because he discovered that the red light appeared precisely where the abnormal phenomenon had taken place yesterday. The beam of light that pierced through the universe had appeared there!

Everything matched up!

“This-This… Is the person who forged the Divine weapon really a student of our academy?!”

The princ.i.p.al sounded a little shaken, and his beard trembled slightly as if he had lost his composure.

The teachers behind him all covered their mouths and looked at the dormitory building in disbelief.

“I’ve finally found it!”

Zhao Lu felt a wave of excitement in his heart. He stuffed the compa.s.s into his clothes and immediately used his spirit energy to fly in the dormitory building’s direction.

He was prepared to find the student who had forged the Divine artifact.

But before he could fly, the princ.i.p.al at the side pulled him back.

“Mayor, don’t be impatient!”

“Discovering a Divine artifact is not a small matter. With your status, if you go now, it will cause unnecessary alarm. We should find a low-key way to deal with it!” the princ.i.p.al pulled the mayor’s arm and said in a calm tone.
