Douluo Dalu - The Story of Sheng Feilong Chapter 92

As week has passed since Sheng Feilong and Song Weihan had left Daedalus' headquarters and She meixiao had finished all preparations as she had promised . Making her way to the mission hall, she pulled out a few documents and handed them to the clerk responsible for their distribution .

Most of these missions were scouting missions regarding sightings of possible evil Soul Master, missions to secure Spirit Treasures from various places all over the continent or even just guarding missions for places or organisations associated with Daedalus .

On the way back to her office, She Meixiao's Soul Communicator rang and seeing who was calling her, She Meixiao couldn't help but smile . With a joyous expression, she hurriedly answered the call . "Sir Spirit Flamingo, it's good that you are calling! How have you been this last week?"

Song Weihan frowned lightly when he heard her joyous expression, surprised how fast this woman can change . He refused to get into smalltalk with her, instead cutting right to the chase . "We'll be arriving at the Daedalus headquarters shortly . I assume you have everything prepared?"

She Meixiao wasn't offended by Song Weihan's straightforward reply . She just kept her smile, speaking with the same joyous tone as before . "But of course! We've already prepared all of the necessary facilities for you and your respected research team and you'll be able to take them over immediately . When will you arrive exactly? I will personally welcome you . "

Looking into the distance, Song Weihan paused a moment to make a rough estimation before he answered . "About 20 minutes . We'll be arriving with a total of 14 Mecha's, so I'll have to trouble you with providing lodging for those, too . Alternatively, we can keep them in our Spacial Treasures . "

"There's no need for that . We have a lot of space in our hangars . I'll lead you there when you arrive . If there's nothing else, then I'm sorry, but I'll have to end the call for now . ", She Meixiao replied with a calm voice . "I'll have the hangars prepared for you . I will be awaiting your arrival!"

Song Weihan confirmed with a grunt before ending the call . Turning back to Sheng Lingtian's Purple Mecha behind him and the others further back, he used Soul Power to make his voice travel to all of them . "We'll be arriving in about 20 minutes! There'll be hangars for all of your Mechas . Keep the current speed!"

A while later, the small, rural village appeared at the horizon and Song Weihan quickly looked for She Meixiao . Seeing her in front of the town hall, the entrance to Daedalus' headquarters, he landed near her, beckoning the others to wait a bit further back . "Madam Smiling Snake, we meet again . Thank you for welcoming us . Should we just follow you to the hangars?"

She Meixiao answered joyfully, quickly embroiling Song Weihan in a bit of smalltalk, much to the latter's irritation . Meanwhile, Sheng Feilong alighted from his father's Mecha and walked over to She Meixiao and Song Weihan . Bowing to both of them, he greeted She Meixiao with the courtesy expected of a disciple, saving Song Weihan from the conversation .

With a hint from Sheng Feilong, She Meixiao finally lead the research team to the hangars, letting them store there Mechas there before they made their way over to the facilities provided by Daedalus . A number of spacious halls were revealed in front of them, connected by equally huge doors, leaving many of the researchers in awe .

Song Weihan was also smiling quite brightly; These facilities provided by Daedalus were even more luxurious than the ones they had at the Spirit Pagoda! With this much space, they could possibly make more progress in the research than they did at the Spirit pagoda, that is, once they get everything running again .

Turning back to facing the rest of the group, Song Weihan noticed She Meixiao smile into his direction . She took a step closer to him, now standing in front of the group of researchers as well . "Seeing you expression, I assume that you like the facilities, Sir Spirit Flamingo? We've made sure to get you and your team the best possible options . If you need anything from our side, please, by all means, just come to me and ask . "

Song Weihan brushed her of with a courteous nod before getting to work with the researchers . Sheng Lingtian gladly helped out while Sheng Feilong and She Meixiao went off to another part of the headquarters alone . Song Weihan didn't really mind the two of them being alone as he believed that She Meixiao would keep her word about their agreement .

They soon reached a quiet corner where they could sit alone and She Meixiao began a bit of smalltalk with him as well . She didn't ask anything too specific and mostly just chatted with Sheng Feilong how he had grown up, his abilities in general and the such . Later on, she cut to another point that also got Sheng Feilong's eyes to shine . "Do you have a design for a Battle Armour yet?"

Sheng Feilong looked at her, excited but still somewhat embarrassed . "I was actually part of a Battle armour building team at Shrek, but I've not been satisfied with any designs and our Blacksmith was unable to produce the materials needed for me . So, uhm, while I want to make one, I haven't had the resources to do so . "

She Meixiao smiled brightly again . With this, she might be able to completely get him hooked to Daedalus . "Well, now that you're my disciple, I can't let you run on the lower ends of experts, can I? And with your second Spirit Essence awakening, the prior design would not be optimal, anyways . Ah right, what is your Second profession? If you want a good battle Armour, you need to work on it yourself . "

"I'm a rank 5 Mecha Maker . So I'll be able to build my own One Word Battle Armour without any problems . Also, the reason we struggled so much with the smithing and producing is because we decided to use Spirit Alloys instead of normal metals . Like that, we would have an easier time once we need to upgrade our Armours to Two Word Battle Armours . ", Sheng Feilong replied with glee .

Hearing of their plan, She Meixiao was surprised . Although it is true that they would have an easier time in the future if they used Spirit Alloys from the start, it was actually much harder to get started . Even as a Rank 5 Mecha maker, Sheng Feilong might not be able to work on every part that he was required to . "Amazing! I didn't think you would get this idea . However, even with your current prowess, you might not necessarily be able to make use of every Spirit Alloy . Even more so no that you need to make a battle Armour for Twin Spirit Essences and use metals that have an affinity with the properties of the Netherworld Putrefaction Demon . "

Finishing her explanation in a single breath, She Meixiao stood up and walked away from their seat . "Follow me . I'll bring you to the smithy . I already have the right person in mind to help you with the blacksmithing . " Sheng Feilong's eyes gleamed and he hastily followed his new Master .

After a long walk, they reached the smithy inside the Daedalus headquarters . Although they were underground, the smithy didn't look much different from Tang Wulin's private workshop . Despite looking around, Sheng feilong didn't stop as She Meixiao was making her way to the back of the smithy in a determined fashion .

She knocked on the door and entered just after that, revealing a private workshop with an old man inside . He ad a bald head and just a few stubbles for a beard and was currently smoking a pipe while sitting next to a burning furnace . He glanced at She meixiao and Sheng Feilong before looking back into the fire .

Taking the pipe out of his mouth, he spoke up, his voice rough and coarse . "She-girl, what's up? Why are you coming here without notice? You know I'm working on Old Shi's spear . " While speaking, he continued to stare into the fire and skilfully emptied his pipe only to refill it with tabaco from his pocket .

She Meixiao didn't mind his attitude and instead turned to Sheng Feilong with a smile . "Feilong, release your second Spirit essence for us, will you? Senior Tang won't even bother with us if we don't manage to get him interested . "

Sheng Feilong was confused about her statement, but still followed suit with her order and released his Spirit Essence . His skin turned grey once again, the veiny green pattern sprouting from his chest as he grew taller and his hands morphed into claws . Two horns grew from the sides of his head and his transformation slowly finished in less than three breathes of time, with the pressure of the Netherworld Putrefaction Demon spreading through the private workshop .

Next to the furnace, the Blacksmith who She Meixiao called Old Tang froze completely, the pipe falling from his mouth as he swung his head around, staring at Sheng Feilong like a tiger eying it's prey . He stood up, walking over to them and inspected Sheng Feilong for a few seconds before showing a wide, toothy grin and spoke with an amicable tone . "What a good kid! She-girl, where did you find this monster? No, who cares, what do you need? I'll make it for free since you showed me such a good lad today!"
