Chapter 1236: In the Name of Dominator
Translator: WQL Editor: Aleem
Zhang Tie immediately put away his Chaos and revealed his face. Closely after that, he threw a glance at the other 4 people in Castle of Black Iron as he burst out into laughter…
"Edward, well done. Your spears are indeed great. Your judgment is right. In kinetic energy strike, round-end spears indeed face fewer air-resistance than pointed-end spears at higher speeds in flight…"
Edward was overwhelmed by an unexpected favor. Therefore, soon after he straightened up, he bowed towards Zhang Tie once again as he said, "It's my honor to serve Castle Lord!"
These days, Zhang Tie and Edward were producing proper spears in Castle of Black Iron. After hundreds of times' experiments, Zhang Tie finally fixed the most proper weight of his spear as 680 kg on the premise that the spear didn't weaken his velocity of throwing. Although Zhang Tie could also throw a heavier spear; his velocity of throwing could not be such great. In general comparison, they finally fixed this weight.
In the beginning, Zhang Tie's and Edward's opinions were divided on the pattern of spear. In Zhang Tie's opinion, when a spear flew at a high speed, its end should be pointed in order to reduce the air resistance; however, Edward insisted on that the end of the spear should be a bit rounder. In order to convince Zhang Tie, Edward produced spears in different patterns for Zhang Tie. After having a try, Zhang Tie found that round-end spear could really fly faster than sharp-edged spear on the premise that they had the same weight. It was out of Zhang Tie's imagination that sharp-edged spear had to face a greater air resistance than a round-ended spear in flight.
A row of spears with round ends and sharp ends were put behind Heller and the other 3 servants. Each spear was about 2 m in length. Being made of gold, they looked very brilliant and luxurious.
It was out of Zhang Tie's imagination that he could use golden spears one day. Before producing golden spears, Edward had made some spears using navyblue iron. However, at the sight of those spears, Zhang Tie almost burst out into laughter.
The thick parts on both ends of those spears made of navyblue iron were 20 cm in thickness; however, the middle part of the spear turned slim for the sake of hold. This structure looked weird and funny. It looked like a sausage on a bamboo stick. At the sight of the slim waist and the thick ends of the spear, Zhang Tie couldn't help but laughing out.
Zhang Tie didn't want to arouse laughter when he intended to kill his enemy by spear in an imposing manner one day.
Additionally, the body of spear made of navyblue iron was too thick; of course, it would face a greater air resistance in flight.
In this case, even though Zhang Tie disliked being luxurious, he had to allow Edward to build gold spears for him as gold was the best high-density metal for making kinetic energy weapon.
Due to a greater density, the golden spear was smaller than half the size of a spear made of navyblue iron. Zhang Tie didn't feel improper holding it; additionally, he could casually make some poses with a golden spear. With a golden spear in hand, he felt having a much greater qi field than that of the "sausage". Therefore, Zhang Tie accepted a golden spear.
Zhang Tie walked over there and took up a round-ended spear and a sharp-edged spear by holding the middle part of the golden spears at the same time. After comparing with the ends of the two spears carefully, Zhang Tie asked Edward, "Why does this round-ended spear face a smaller air resistance than a sharp-edged spear in flight?"
"Castle Lord, in low-speed flight, sharp-edged spear definitely meets a smaller air resistance than that of a round-ended spear; however, it's reverse in hypersonic flight. It's involved with very complex aerodynamics and thermotics in hypersonic flight. Some indistinctive features of some objects in the common state would grow significant in the hypersonic state. If Castle Lord wants to know the reason, please refer to the self-similar solution of the flow boundary layer equation of laminar flow in hypersonic speed. The convective heat transfer on the end stagnation point is inversely proportional to the square root of the radius of curvature on the end. By making the end a bit rounder, we could reduce thermal load."
When it came to his profession; although, Edward still remained humble, his voice undoubtedly sounded like that of a master.
Zhang Tie blinked his eyes. He understood every single word of Edward; however, he didn't understand the meaning of the total paragraph. Even though Zhang Tie was a master artisan, he still couldn't understand Edward's words.
Only after thinking about Edward's words for 0.1 seconds, Zhang Tie had given up his exploration in this question. He was neither an engineer nor a scientist, he only cared about the result. He only cared about the result. He only wanted to know which sort of weapon was more proper and powerful for him. Through this thing, Zhang Tie understood that the so-called common sense had their limits. Almost everyone knew that sharp-edged objects would face smaller air resistance in flight than round-ended objects; however, if hypersonic flight, this common sense was wrong.
"Can you make this spear more powerful?"
"If we use platinum to make a spear, due to its greater density, this spear could be about 10% smaller while its air resistance would reduce by some percentage points on the same weight. Additionally, we could add a consolidating rune and a sharpening rune to it…"
"Well, no need to use platinum. We don't have more platinum than gold in Castle of Black Iron. Just make them in gold. I don't care about the trivial difference in size and air resistance!" Although Zhang Tie hesitated a bit at the beginning; after making his decision, Zhang Tie said, "Make 2,000 golden spears for me!"
"2,000?" Edward reconfirmed it. After seeing Zhang Tie nodding, Edward immediately nodded forcefully and pleasantly.
"Let's go back to the palace tree. I'm a bit hungry…" Zhang Tie walked towards the palace tree below the mountain peak, followed by the 4 people.
Each spear would consume him 680 kgs of gold. After throwing out each gold spear, Zhang Tie would lose 27,200 gold coins. Although it seemed wasteful, it was nothing compared to the life of a black iron knight.
After taking the latest fruit of brilliance, Zhang Tie's spiritual energy bulged once again. The latest fruit of brilliance could almost match that of Han Zhengfang and Han Yuanhong in spiritual energy; because this new one contained the spiritual energy of the 2 throne pastors and the 5 chief pastors, along with the other pastors, chief pastors and over 10 officials on the flagship of Sacred Light Empire.
With bulging spiritual energy, Zhang Tie gained a greater flight speed, a more destructive kinetic energy strike. After hundreds of tests, Zhang Tie was sure that he could kill a black iron knight with a 680 kg's golden spear; even if the black iron knight released his protective battle qi. When the energy of 12.9 billion Joules focused on one point in milliseconds, it was much more destructive than any alchemist bomb or tons of TNT. Alchemist bomb's or TNT's explosion affected a wide area in a short period; however, kinetic energy strike focused on one point.
From then on, black iron knights were nothing but sh*t in front of Zhang Tie.
Zhang Tie finally sensed how imposing was a divine dominator. The one who could determine a knight's destiny was the real dominator!
This might be the real combat mode for a divine dominator. After grasping the secret of kinetic energy strike, he had various combat modes; instead of being limited to the combat mode that cut through the opponent by sharp weapons which were very preliminary for a divine dominator.
Actually, Zhang Tie had grasped 3 combat modes as a divine dominator. First, having sharp weapons cutting through the opponent; second, make kinetic energy strike by golden spear; third, make a kinetic energy by the 6.8 ton Thor's Hammer at the speed of 13 times greater than the speed of sound. As for the third combat mode, he could release the energy of 60-70 billion Joules and easily kill earth knights.
…
Zhang Tie felt pretty good today. Therefore, he had a good appetite and enjoyed the yummy food in the dining hall of the palace tree.
After having a yummy dinner, the dark fell in Castle of Black Iron which indicated that it was also dark outside…
After leaving the dining hall, Zhang Tie entered a warehouse of palace tree alone, which was filled with various plant seeds.
'It's time to solve another problem…'
Chapter 1237: The Foodie's Paradise
Translator: WQL Editor: Aleem
This warehouse was on the 2nd floor of the palace tree. Covering over 50,000 square meters, it was clean, refreshing and translucent. It was not filled with treasures but plant seeds.
Zhang Tie had not received the seeds that he reserved from Jiang Clan of Herbal Palace in Xuanyuan Hill until he left Fire-Dragon Bounty Territory. In January, Jiang Clan had people sent a message to Fire-Dragon Bounty Territory——due to the catastrophe of bloody figures, Jiang clan's industry in Taixia Country was influenced; especially the logistics. Therefore, Zhang Tie's seeds bank couldn't arrive until this May.
Although it was a bit late, it didn't matter. After returning to Youzhou Province, Zhang Tie had Zhang Yang prepare the best nut seeds across Taixia Country for him.
All the nut seeds in this warehouse were prepared by Zhang Yang according to Zhang Tie's request. There were only over 10 kinds of nut seeds. Although they couldn't match the seeds bank of Jiang Clan of Herbal Palace, it was enough for Zhang Tie. It worked as long as the plants of these nut seeds could provide sufficient aura value for Castle of Black Iron. Of course, it would be better if they could provide food. When the entire world was afflicted by the holy war, people might not buy food even if they had money.
Those seeds which could provide sufficient aura value for Castle of Black Iron had better be able to grow into trees; additionally, they could produce food and could be easily stored and dealt with. Therefore, Zhang Tie selected nut seeds.
There were a large number of nut seeds in the warehouse, which were mainly walnuts, chestnuts, hazelnuts, cashews and pine nuts, etc.. Although there were only such a few kinds of nut seeds, they were great in quantity. Each kind of nut seeds weighed hundreds of tons. They were piled in special metal containers like hills.
Additionally, there were various fruits, edible wild herbs, herbal medicines, grains and fungi sporopollenin and plant and tree seeds, totally over 10,000 kinds. Many species could only be seen in Castle of Black Iron. Over these years, most of the mutated species trained in Castle of Black Iron came from those plant seeds; however, their absolute quantities were much fewer than that of those nut seeds.
If those nut seeds were regarded as regular units, these plant seeds were guerrillas and ragtag troops, which even included some marine plant seeds that he had collected in Hidden Dragon Island and Ewentra Archipelago waters. Senior marine plants had seeds which were put in containers. Inferior marine plants such as seaweed didn't have seeds; therefore, they were just put in some transparent media. Heller was responsible for looking after them over these years.
"Have all the seeds been dealt with?" Zhang Tie asked Heller.
Heller nodded as he looked at Zhang Tie with a strange expression before saying, "Those newborn lands are very fertile. As long as these seeds were sowed, they would take root. But…Castle Lord, do you want to do that by yourself?"
After hearing Heller's words, Zhang Tie burst out into laughter. When he walked by those containers, he put away all of them into his portable super space-teleportation equipment as he said, "There's one thing called the sense of achievement. It won't feel same by watching others sowing my seeds, there's something different about sowing them myself when these seeds grow into woods in the future!"
As Zhang Tie replied, he had taken around in the warehouse and put away all the seeds.
"I see, Castle Lord, if you want to do that by yourself, you'd better pay attention to your flight speed. If you fly too fast and too high, these seeds might be broken the moment they fall onto the ground!"
"I know, I'm sowing seeds, not launching a kinetic energy strike!"
After saying that, Zhang Tie immediately pushed open a transparent window which was covered by trumpet-shaped tree leaves before flying out of the warehouse. Zhang Tie soon flew away from Immortal Mountain and the Immortal Lake surrounding the Immortal Mountain.
The dark had already fallen. Zhang Tie could only see the faint brilliance given out by the colorful clouds.
Looking up at the colorful clouds, Zhang Tie's heart pounded as he thought, 'Previously, I didn't know what was behind the colorful clouds due to the poor capability; each time I approached the colorful clouds, I would feel like touching a super large cotton ball and was bounced off. I wonder whether I could penetrate through them now.'
After grasping the wholly new battle skill as a divine dominator, Zhang Tie's overall strength bulged; at the same time, he became much more courageous and confident. When he thought this way, he directly flew towards the highest place in the sky.
As the space of Castle of Black Iron was constantly expanded, those colorful clouds grew higher. They had already arrived higher than 100,000 m.
Even so, it only took Zhang Tie a few minutes to arrive at the highest place of the sky without using his flight ability as a divine dominator.
The colorful clouds gradually became distinct and as vivid as a living being in Zhang Tie's eyes right over 10 m away. However, the invisible marshmallow-like barrier still existed. Zhang Tie tried his utmost efforts only to make the barrier shrink inside a bit. However, the invisible barrier bounced off Zhang Tie once again in an irresistible way.
The situation remained unchanged. Zhang Tie tried it for dozens of times and got the same result.
Therefore, Zhang Tie determined to make the last try. Besides putting on his Chaos in a split second, he held Thor's Hammer too. After reaching his greatest flight speed in the shortest speed, Zhang Tie, his Thor's Hammer and his powerful battle qi forcefully collided against the invisible barrier.
Even heavenly knights might not resist this strike while staying still. However, it still couldn't shock the invisible barrier.
The invisible barrier was pushed in a bit like a slightly deformed huge plasticine. However, in a split second, Zhang Tie was helplessly bounced back like a ping-pong floating up in a barrel which was gradually filled with water.
After putting away the Chaos and Thor's Hammer, Zhang Tie slightly frowned as he watched the colorful clouds over 10 m away at the highest altitude of the space of Castle of Black Iron.
'Were these colorful clouds made by a cultivator? But how could a cultivator make such splendid things? Heavenly knight couldn't make that. Is that a sage knight? Even if it was made by a sage knight, it's still a bit exaggerating!' Zhang Tie muttered. After watching the colorful clouds for quite a while, Zhang Tie could only shake his head helplessly before flying towards the ground.
Looking down from the sky, Zhang Tie found that the entire land covering over 100,000 square miles was like a huge island floating in an ocean being surrounded by colorful clouds.
When Zhang Tie recalled ocean, he immediately flew towards the easternmost part of Castle of Black Iron. Only after a short while, Zhang Tie had declined from 100,000 m to hundreds of meters high. After reducing his flight speed, he saw a coastline in front of his eyes.
Even though it was evening, Zhang Tie could still see clearly the pure white, fine and soft sea sands beneath the crystal sea water. The sea water was shimmering and reflecting the starlight and moonlight, which looked pretty beautiful and tranquil.
The greatest depth of this waters was only 300 m; however, the sea water was so crystal that Zhang Tie was almost unaware of its depth.
There was nobody else here. As the aborigines in Castle of Black Iron were immersed in the shock of the "Genesis" of their God these days, they were constantly praying and holding rituals, they had not explored here yet. There was no living beings or plant in the crystal sea water. Therefore, this scenery felt a bit lonely although being beautiful and tranquil.
However, the loneliness would be broken soon.
Zhang Tie took out some transparent containers which held various seaweeds from his portable space-teleportation equipment; closely after that, he opened those containers and sprayed those solutions into the ocean from dozens of meters high.
After finishing spraying inferior seaweed solutions, Zhang Tie took out senior seaweed seeds before spraying them into the ocean.
Zhang Tie sprayed over 10 kinds of seaweed seeds, including large-leaf seaweed, shrimp-shaped seaweed, needle-leaf seaweed, fine-spirit seaweed, silk-leaf seaweed, rainbow seaweed and Enhalus acoroides, etc..
Such a job was more like an entertainment program for Zhang Tie. When Zhang Tie imagined that these seaweeds would grow up and make this waters vigorous and green in a few months, he would feel pleasant and have a great sense of achievement.
After spraying over all the seaweed seeds, Zhang Tie had just passed half of the waters. Therefore, he sprayed some more senior marine plant seeds, which included the seeds of mangrove, sea lotus, sea mulberry, Aegiceras corniculatum and Avicennia marina, etc..
After doing all this, Zhang Tie flew onto the newborn land from the ocean.
Zhang Tie then flew over those lands and sowed various nut seeds onto it like a seeding aircraft.
Zhang Tie didn't move too fast. When those seeds fell onto the black, fertile and soft soil, most of them could enter the soil 5-10 cm. Zhang Tie didn't even dig pits for them…
After that, he saw a large area of woods of walnut, pine and chestnut which covered thousands of square miles. Among these woods, Zhang Tie saw apple woods, peach woods, hills being covered with plum trees, wildernesses being covered with strawberries and corridors being covered with blueberries and sunflowers, which ranged from a few square miles to over 60 square miles.
Of course, Zhang Tie sprayed various spores of mushrooms and seeds of flowers and grasses in the pine woods…some fruit seeds, sweet potatoes or dendrobium in the walnut woods…some peanuts, soya beans or traditional Chinese medicines such as rhizoma atractylodes and Chinese bellflower seeds in chestnut woods…some pieces of potatoes in the corridors of sunflowers…
As for those grains, traditional Chinese medicines and those seeds which were used to preserve the plant diversity, Zhang Tie directly sprayed them casually. He didn't even care how they would grow.
Sometimes, when his spirits rose, Zhang Tie would directly draw some strange patterns over the ground by seeds.
After one night's work, Zhang Tie turned the newborn land which covered almost 100,000 square miles into a paradise which was even out of the imagination of foodies.
Besides being a foodie's paradise, the aura value that could be provided by the plants in the ocean and on the land in the future would match the number of elements that were absorbed by the elements abyss from the elements realm. After such a series of actions, the basic energy storage and aura value that were required for further space expansion in Castle of Black Iron would almost be in ready and self-sufficient. Zhang Tie didn't need to worry about them anymore.
He only needed to care about his merit value.
This space expansion almost used up all the basic energy storage and aura value. Additionally, he only had 1/5 of merit value left, which couldn't provide for another large-scale space expansion. Additionally, his lab in Castle of Black Iron was consuming a great number of merit value each day for various experiments of mutated living beings. Those mutated rats that Zhang Tie gained from Han Zhengfang's son consumed merit value greatly…
That night, Zhang Tie was not the happiest one in Castle of Black Iron. After sowing seeds, Zhang Tie sent an order to all the No.1 earthworms and bees in Castle of Black Iron——to march on towards the wilderness. In the future, the new land would belong to those earthworms in the soil and those bees above the ground…
Chapter 1238: Returning to Sacred Iceland Kingdom
Translator: WQL Editor: Aleem
Since the evening of the 26th day of this month, the bloody massacre of the red gloves of the Order Jury had frozen the entire Ewentra Archipelago like a cold current that came from the polar region.
The 43 members of Ewentra Autonomous Parliament and their clans represented by Renard Clan on Arkray Island were exterminated overnight. Starting from Arkray Island, the cruel massacre had covered each isle across Ewentra Archipelago in only 3 days.
On March 31st, sitting on the highest rostrum of the conference hall of Ewentra Autonomous Parliament, Ms. Olina couldn't help but let out a sigh when she found almost 1/3 of seats were vacant.
A few days ago, this conference room was as boisterous as a fish market; however, it became pretty quiet now. Those eloquent members of Ewentra Autonomous Parliament had disappeared. All the other members here were as docile as rabbits and as quiet as cicadas in late autumn. Almost nobody at present dared look straight into Ms. Olina's eyes. Those who saw her eyes by accident would always look humble and flattering.
Brightman the clan head of Wilis Clan was speaking in excitement on the rostrum at this moment. At the same time, he wove his fist as if he wanted to punch someone into pieces like a righteous man who was giving a speech on the square.
Since they got acquainted with Brightman, all the people at present including Ms. Olina had not imagined that this man who was always urbane in a pair of glasses could have such a fierce side.
"…This is a shameless betrayal and naked blasphemy. Renard Clan and those members of Ewentra Autonomous Parliament betrayed the entire Sacred Iceland Kingdom and profaned His Majesty's mercy and generosity. What were they doing when the enemy was coming? They didn't intend to resist the enemy and pledged their loyalty to His Majesty; instead, they had people monitor the traces of Northwind Fleet and exposed our intelligence to our enemy; they were betraying our His Majesty for the sake of glory…" Brightman said with a very distressed look as he forcefully punched onto the hard rostrum which was made of teakwood, causing a loud bang. Hopefully, his fist was not red. "Whenever I recalled that we were staying in the same room with such people and negotiated about the future of Ewentra Archipelago, I would feel ashamed as a countryman of the Sacred Iceland Kingdom and a member of Ewentra Autonomous Kingdom…"
Ms. Olina didn't know that a red glove stood outside the castle of Wilis Clan and gazed at the castle of Wilis Clan icily overnight until March 26. Ms. Olina didn't know how Wilis Clan got through that night. She found that Brightman's hair near his temples had turned a bit pale only after a few days. Besides being "awake", the entire Wilis Clan seemed to feel "lucky" overnight…
Of course, Wilis Clan was not the only clan which was "awake" and felt "lucky".
Brightman was still speaking in excitement. He turned around and deeply bowed towards Ms. Olina who was sitting on the rostrum as he said, "If Your Excellency allows, I suggest to vote the Act on the Mobilisation for the Duel once again. We have to fight those greedy invaders to the end across Ewentra Archipelago…"
After listening to Brightman's suggestion, all the members who followed Brightman's head broke the silence as if they were making a performance according to a script.
"Yes, we should vote right now. We should never let those invaders of Sacred Light Empire step in Ice and Snow Wilderness…"
"We should mobilize all the ships; we should renovate all the merchant ships so as to block the fleet of Sacred Light Empire…"
"We should have a duel with them in the offshore waters and send those invaders to the bottom of the sea…"
"If Sacred Light Kingdom issues the war voucher, I would like to spend all of my deposits to support this war…"
These gentle members of parliament's hopping performance and cries reminded Ms. Olina of a performance in a museum all of a sudden. These days, the entire Arkray Island was imposing a curfew. Brightman didn't have any chance to reach any agreement with these members of parliament; neither did they dare do that. However, the current scene seemed like that they had rehearsed it for hundreds of times.
The members of parliament were better than street pedlars in bargaining. Their artful talent couldn't make old sailors who had worked for dozens of years feel ashamed. Even performers needed scripts. However, these members of parliament didn't even need any script. All the contents of the script were in their mind. They could make the most proper performance only when in need…
'The future of the entire Ewentra Archipelago was determined by these people previously. How could such self-centered and artful people resist the demons?' Ms. Olina couldn't help but feel disappointed when she thought about this.
However, Ms. Olina didn't disappoint them. Under the "fervent and expectant" eye light of all the people at present, Ms. Olina opened her cherry mouth, "Let's vote then!"
In the following few minutes, all the members of Ewentra Autonomous Parliament voted the Act on the Mobilisation for the Duel at the fastest speed. When the voting result came out, the conference hall was even reverberated with "cheers". Those gentlemen, whose attitude towards this act was uncertain, became so thrilled that they even dropped off tears as they embraced each other to celebrate this victory…
…
After being promoted to the president of the Ewentra Autonomous Parliament, Ms. Olina had people build a castle in Arkray Island as her residence too.
The new castle was named as Heavensblue Castle, which sounded similar to Seablue Castle in Saint Herner Island.
As the head of the clan guards in Heavensblue Castle, Gitta ruled all the guards beside Ms. Olina and was responsible for the defense and safety across Heavensblue Castle.
These days, due to the intense atmosphere in Arkray Island, even the atmosphere in Heavensblue Castle became intense.
"From now on, all the fruits and vegetables which are transported into the castle from outside should be checked 3 times in case of any problem. All the food that is provided for Ms. Olina should go through poisoning test. If there's any problem in the food of Ms. Olina, you all should be the funeral objects, am I clear?"
Gitta was warning the steward, cooks and servants in the kitchen of Heavensblue Castle.
Over these years, Gitta became stronger and had promoted to LV 10. Therefore, Gitta brought a great stress to the steward and all the others in the kitchen when he looked serious in whiskers. None of them dared utter a sound in front of Gitta. They all behaved very carefully.
"Mr. Gitta, don't worry; I will keep a close eye on this kitchen. I promise there would not be any problem!" The steward said meticulously, who was 20 cm lower than Gitta and much smaller than him.
Gitta glanced around before saying in a bit tender voice, "Don't blame me for being so strict to you. You have to know that those rebellious clans that we are wiping out are deeply rooted in Arkray Island. They have a lot of accomplices and partners. If they want to avenge Ms. Olina, they would definitely use all the possible means. They would never dare seek for death in Heavensblue Castle in the public; however, we have to prevent from their dirty means!"
"Yes…yes…yes…"
Gitta didn't leave the kitchen until he found all the others in the kitchen looked solemn.
After leaving the kitchen, Gitta checked the training of the entrance guards and the squad of bodyguards in Heavensblue Castle before returning to the inner castle of Heavensblue Castle.
These days, when the red gloves wiped out those rebels in Arkray Island, Gitta also bore a great stress as the head of the clan guards of Ms. Olina.
According to the intelligence, those rebellious clans and their affiliated parties had been uprooted by red gloves. But some small fish and shrimps were still escaping; therefore, Gitta dared not be careless.
It was some female barbarians who were responsible for the safety of the inner castle of Heavensblue Castle. Adelina and some female fighters had followed Ms. Olina to the conference room, leaving a female barbarian shaman and a team of female fighters in the inner castle.
In the entire Heavensblue Castle, Gitta was almost the only male who could access the inner castle. As Gitta was clear about this point, he mostly entered the inner castle for patrolling when Ms. Olina was not there in case of any gossip for the sake of the reputation of Ms. Olina.
Some elite female barbarian fighters were guarding outside the gate of the inner castle and on both sides of the stairs. After ensuring that all the female fighters were in good conditions and that female barbarian shaman was in vigilance in the hall of the inner castle, Gitta became reassured.
Perhaps female barbarian shamans didn't have great battle strength, however, they had exceptional sensing capability. Over these years, as Ms. Olina's position gradually rose in the Sacred Iceland Kingdom and Ewentra Archipelago, the barbarian tribe which had been cooperating with Ms. Olina directly assigned their most powerful female fighters and female shaman to the side of Ms. Olina.
With these female barbarian fighters and that female shaman, not even a mosquito could enter the inner castle of Heavensblue Castle.
After arriving at the 2nd floor of the inner castle and passing an aisle, Gitta entered the living quarters of Ms. Olina. Being over 20 m away, he had discovered that the door of Ms. Olina's office was open. Therefore, Gitta frowned.
'The female servants in the inner castle are so careless. I have to have Adelina give them a lesson when she comes back. How could they don't close the door of Ms. Olina's office after cleaning it!'
Gitta shook his head as he walked over there and wanted to close the door. However, when he stretched his hand towards the handle, his muscles all over became stiff at once.
Through the gap, Gitta saw a man standing in front of the table of Ms. Olina against the door…
Chapter 1239: A Reunion
Translator: WQL Editor: Aleem
With a sound "tsuang", Gitta drew his longsword out of his sheath as he pushed open the door forcefully and entered the door. He pointed at that man's back as he said, "I've not imagined that the rebels' accomplice could slide into the inner castle of Heavensblue Castle. Turn around slowly. Don't move. Don't touch any object in the study. Otherwise, my longsword will not forgive you. How did you come in here? Whether have you dug a secret tunnel beneath the Heavensblue Castle or have any accomplice here? As long as you tell me, I promise to keep you alive…"
That man slowly turned around with a smile as he said, "Gitta, long time no see…"
"Peter…no…His Majesty!" The moment Gitta saw that man's face, he immediately widely opened his eyes as he almost dropped his longsword…
Of course, it was Zhang Tie who appeared in the office of Ms. Olina in Heavensblue Castle.
After staying in Castle of Black Iron for a few days, Zhang Tie ate up his fruits; got hang of the powerful kinetic energy strike as a divine dominator and sowed his seeds. After that, he returned to Arkray Island in Ewentra Archipelago and found the Heavensblue Castle before incarnating in Peter Hamplester once again.
How could a team of female barbarian fighters and a female barbarian shaman catch sight of Zhang Tie?
Zhang Tie threw a glance at Gitta with a smile before saying, "You've grown much stronger and have a greater battle strength after these years…"
After realizing that His Majesty had come back, Gitta hurriedly put away his sword as he showed his respect by kneeling down on the carpet by one knee and said, "Welcome back, His Majesty!"
After confirming that it was Zhang Tie, Gitta didn't care why Zhang Tie entered here; because Gitta thought this man who ruled the entire Sacred Iceland Kingdom was almighty.
Zhang Tie let out a sigh. At the sight of Gitta's demeanor, Zhang Tie knew that they couldn't joke and chat freely like before. He might not care about maintaining the usual relaxed atmosphere between them; however, Gitta had a deep-rooted sense of hierarchy in his mind.
"Hmm, get up!"
Not until Gitta heard Zhang Tie's command did he get up in a restrained way once again. Gitta had met Zhang Tie when he came here last time. Last time, Zhang Tie had already promoted to a knight. However, this time, Gitta felt that Zhang Tie's qi was much greater than before. Therefore, Gitta was more awe-struck by him.
"Where's Olina? Aww, what do you mean by rebels? Did anyone stage an armed rebellion in Ewentra Archipelago these days?" Zhang Tie asked calmly. As he could even sweep over the entire expeditionary army of Sacred Light Empire by one hammer; Zhang Tie didn't mind that tiny chaos in Ewentra Archipelago at all.
"Ms. Olina is in the conference hall of the parliament. Those rebels refer to Connar the deputy president of Ewentra Autonomous Parliament and his henchmen…" Gitta described what happened in Arkray Island to Zhang Tie honestly.
Zhang Tie was not shocked by that too much. When the expeditionary army of Sacred Light Empire from the Western Continent was coming, those people who were less determined and didn't succumb to the existing order would seize this chance to seek for private gains. In their eyes, Sacred Iceland Kingdom could never have any chance to defeat Sacred Light Empire. They had already regarded the problem facing the Sacred Iceland Kingdom and the disaster facing Ancient God Church as a good opportunity for the rejuvenation of their clans. No wonder Maxim and the other red gloves would wipe them out.
If Gitta didn't mention it, Zhang Tie almost forgot about Connar. Zhang Tie only remembered that he had met Connar when he came to Ice and Snow Wilderness for the first time after promoting to a knight. Previously, Renard Clan might have some influence on Ewentra Archipelago; however, this clan was nothing but sh*t in Zhang Tie's eyes now. He was not even interested in the process of how this clan was exterminated. 'Since the third holy war begun, tens of hundreds of human countries and clans had been exterminated. Even Waii Subcontinent had become a barren land. As a two-faced trivial clan, they had no reason to laugh until the end. Did they really treat me as a yes-man who won't kill any people?'
"I will stay here. Go notice Olina and tell her I'm back!"
"Bishop Maxim and Hags the clan head of sea bear tribe are in the island. Do I need to notice them too?" Gitta asked carefully.
After thinking for a while, Zhang Tie replied, "Yup, let them come to see me in Heavensblue Castle the next morning!"
"Yes, sir!"
After receiving Zhang Tie's command, Gitta left the room as he closed the door from outside, leaving Zhang Tie alone in the office of Ms. Olina. Hearing Gitta's rapid footsteps, Zhang Tie revealed a smile.
Zhang Tie took up a photo frame from the desk before stroking the surface of the photo frame gently. In the photo, Olina was crouching on the ground with a big, loving smile. A 3-year old little, naked boy was holding a dandelion as he approached his tiny face to Olina and wanted to kiss her. The background of this photo was a grape garden inside Seablue Castle. The sun had just risen; the two people's faces were covered with tender golden sunlight. Additionally, there was a drop of crystal dew on one leaf of the dandelion in the hand of the little boy…
That little boy looked very similar to Olina. Although being young, his tiny face was strongly defined. However, his black hair, pupils and his qi field told Zhang Tie that this was his baby.
Olina got pregnant in the 899th year of Black Iron Calendar and delivered his baby the next year. As of now, this baby should have been 4 years old.
Looking at the photo, Zhang Tie's tender eyes gradually turned firm and profound…
…
After Gitta left the room, Zhang Tie felt that many people across Heavensblue Castle became busy. Gitta might have already told them that Tsar had already arrived at Heavensblue Castle. After hearing this news, of course, everyone would feel intense across Heavensblue Castle.
Only after half an hour, as the gate of Heavensblue Castle was opened, a fleet had entered Heavensblue Castle. Ms. Olina finally came back. Gitta might have met the fleet on the way.
Even though Olina tried her best to be reassured, Zhang Tie could still sense the faint anxiety and impulsion from her crispy footsteps in the staircases and aisle.
The urgent footsteps didn't slow down with her heavy pants until she arrived outside her office.
After Ms. Olina came to the door of his office, the door opened itself. Closely after that, Zhang Tie and Olina saw each other.
Zhang Tie walked to the door and put his arms around her waist tenderly. At the same time, he kissed Olina passionately and made her tilt backward. As a result, Olina had to put her arms around Zhang Tie's neck.
This kiss lasted 5 minutes. After separating from each other, Zhang Tie helped her stand steadily. After that, they just stood close to each other face to face.
"Thank you…"
"I thought you wouldn't come back!" Ms. Olina said after panting for a short while with a red face.
"My woman and kid is here, how could I not come back?" Zhang Tie replied with a smile.
"You'd better leave with our kid!" Ms. Olina suddenly said.
After hearing Olina's words, Zhang Tie became stunned as he asked, "Leave? Why?"
"The expeditionary army of Sacred Light Empire is very powerful. They have 2 throne pastors and 5 chief pastors. This strike is definitely different than that last time. You cannot defeat them. As you've killed one of their chief pastors. If you stayed here, they would kill you for sure. As long as you and our kid could survive. I would have no regret! I cannot leave. Otherwise, those who stay here would lose their morale. By then, your undertaking and the belief of the Ancient God Church would collapse. As long as you could survive, you would have a chance to avenge them. Didn't you tell me that you were going to the Eastern Continent? You could take your kid to the Eastern Continent." Ms. Olina said firmly with a decisive and bright eyelight.
Tender women would be more decisive and dauntless than men sometimes.
'Hasn't the news about the expeditionary fleet of Sacred Light Empire arrived here? It's possible. It's a distance of over 6,000 miles. Ewentra Archipelago might not have received the precise intelligence. After all, I attacked them too fast and had severely damaged them only in a few minutes. Unless they witnessed it, very few people could believe it. Additionally, I didn't contact Pontiff Sarlin these days. Ice and Snow Wilderness must not have confirmed the intelligence about the expeditionary fleet of Sacred Light Empire either.'
After thinking it through, Zhang Tie was deeply moved by Olina's words. Cupping his face, he watched her seriously as he said, "Trust me, nobody could hurt me, you and our baby. Nobody could destroy what I left here. Neither demons nor the Sacred Light Empire could do harm to us. The expeditionary fleet of Sacred Light Empire wouldn't arrive at the Ewentra Archipelago waters anymore. Perhaps, Sacred Light Empire would assign people here to sue for peace in a few days."
"Ahh, impossible!" Ms. Olina was shocked too much. If it was not told by Zhang Tie, she must have thought that someone was raving.
"Why not possible?"
"They have assigned 7 knights. Such a battle strength could even defeat the entire Waii Subcontinent!"
Zhang Tie sneered, "7 knights are nothing but sh*t. Do you know how many knights died in a large-scale battle between humans and demons in the Earth-elements Realm?"
"What happened?"
Zhang Tie didn't reply. He just closed the door by foot. Closely after that, he cradled Ms. Olina and put her on the desk as he said, "It's a nice environment here. I will tell you about the details after a while…"
Chapter 1240: Zhang Tie's Descendants in Ice and Snow Wilderness
Translator: WQL Editor: Aleem
On April 6th, the 904th year of Black Iron Calendar…
Only after a few hours, the airship that set off Ewentra Archipelago had already passed by Oro Strait and arrived at Ice and Snow Wilderness…
If Zhang Tie came here alone, it would be much faster. As for Zhang Tie, a round trip of thousands of miles was similar to commoners who went to the market to buy vegetables by bus. However, as he was followed by some people, he could only take an airship.
The airboat was borrowed from Golden Roc Bank. The two customized airboats that Gold and Power Law promised him had not arrived at Fire-Dragon Bounty Territory yet.
As one of the hubs between the Western Continent and Eastern Continent in trade and personnel exchanges, Sacred Iceland Kingdom's geographical location was growing increasingly important and special over these years. Therefore, Golden Roc Bank had increased their investment in Sacred Iceland Kingdom; especially that Golden Roc Bank founded a inter-continental secondary banking clearance center in Saint Petersburg. Previously, airboat could be barely seen in Ice and Snow Wilderness and Ewentra Archipelago; however, now airboat had become a symbol of the existence of Golden Roc Bank in Sacred Iceland Kingdom and an important traffic tool provided by Golden Roc Bank for some VIPs to travel between Eastern Continent and Western Continent.
The airboat that old bear Dally and Elder Gulas took to Taixia Country was also provided by Golden Roc Bank.
Zhang Tie came to Saint Petersburg accompanied by Ms. Olina, Bishop Maxim, Hagus the clan head of sea bear tribe and Alexander the baby of Ms. Olina and Zhang Tie.
Alexander was only 4 years old. Although Ms. Olina hadn't told anyone about the father of the baby, the father of Alexander was not a secret among the management of Sacred Iceland Kingdom.
When Ms. Olina intrigued against the other members of the Ewentra Autonomous Parliament on Arkray Island, Alexander was left in Saint Herner Island by her. As the encampment of Northwind Fleet, Saint Herner Island was close to Ice and Snow Wilderness. Additionally, Ms. Olina was the ruler of the island; therefore, Saint Herner Island could serve as the nest of Seablue Business Group and Ms. Olina.
Compared to Iron-Dragon Airboat that Zhang Tie had returned to Taiyi Fantasy Sect, this airboat that they borrowed from Golden Roc Bank was not large in size; neither was it more magnificent than Iron-Dragon Airboat. This airboat was only 100 m in length in the shape of the shuttle. However, such an airboat was unique in Sacred Iceland Kingdom.
Of course, it was available for some influential figures and their followers in Sacred Iceland Kingdom.
On March 5th, the latest news about the expeditionary fleet of Sacred Light Empire was finally received and confirmed by Sacred Iceland Kingdom through different channels——Before arriving at Ewentra Archipelago, the expeditionary fleet of Sacred Light Empire had already become completely defeated. The remaining ships of the fleet had turned around and returned to Sukbi Sea Gulf where they anchored in for replenishment last time as they had sent a distress signal to Sacred Light Empire.
This disaster was caused by a mysterious and powerful knight that they met on the sea being over 6,000 miles away from Ewentra Archipelago. That mysterious and powerful knight ended the future of the expeditionary fleet of Sacred Light Empire only by one blow.
With the blow of the mysterious and powerful knight, the 2 throne pastors and the 5 chief pastors were wiped out in a split second; at the same time, the 20-ton flagship of the expeditionary fleet was smashed and sent to the bottom of the ocean. Only 1 of the 8 battleships could be available after maintenance. Furthermore, half of the supply ships and troopships were damaged.
This news deeply shocked both Sacred Light Empire and Sacred Iceland Kingdom.
After hearing this news, everybody thought that it was caused by a heavenly knight on the back of Sacred Iceland Kingdom. Additionally, countrymen in Sacred Iceland Kingdom and followers of Ancient God Church were driven mad; some onlookers were delighted in the misfortune of Sacred Light Empire. At the same time, those chief pastors in the eastern parish of Sacred Light Empire felt flurried as if they had lost their parents. All the chief pastors over there quivered all over as they realized that they had met a powerful enemy this time.
On the second day since this news reached Sacred Iceland Kingdom, the dominoes effect of this news started to take effect. Zhang Tie then determined to leave for Saint Petersburg in Ice and Snow Wilderness.
…
As it was Alexander's first time to take airboat, he kept crying. Zhang Tie then cradled Alexander and played a game with him on a lounge in an independent berth cabin. Alexander gradually became sleepy as he fell asleep while lying on Zhang Tie's belly. Zhang Tie then kept his eyes closed in such a gesture.
After a while…
"His Majesty, we've arrived at the supper palace of Saint Petersburg…" Ms. Olina said.
Zhang Tie opened his eyes as he saw Bishop Maxim, Hags and Ms. Olina standing in front of him. The three people were all looking at him in a bizarre expression.
It was the 3 people's first time to see such a paternal love; especially among Slavs who favored male chauvinism. Hags revealed an unimaginable look; Bishop Maxim meditated about the profound meaning behind Zhang Tie's paternal love; Ms. Olina's eye light had turned completely tender while watching the father and the son falling asleep. Just now, she didn't even want to open her mouth; instead, she wanted to keep this scene forever.
"Hush" Zhang Tie made a hand gesture silently as he slightly drew his finger out of Alexander's palm. After that, he picked up Alexander. At the sight of this scene, the two professional babysitters on the side of Ms. Olina hurriedly moved forward and took over Alexander from his hand deftly before moving to one side.
Not until Alexander was taken away did Zhang Tie open his mouth, "Let's go. Don't let Pontiff Sarlin wait too long outside…"
"Wait a moment…" Ms. Olina stopped Zhang Tie as she walked forward to help him smoothe his clothes. After that, she stood behind Zhang Tie.
Zhang Tie revealed a smile towards Ms. Olina before walking towards the hatch door of the airboat.
The airboat parked on the square in the front palace of the Summer Palace. When Zhang Tie approached the hatch door, he had seen those familiar faces——Pontiff Sarlin, Elder Gulas and Elder Toles of huge bear tribe; Elder Turing of Spencer Clan of iron bear tribe, Dally of wild bear tribe and all the knight elders of fire bear tribe, mountain bear tribe, black bear tribe and mutated bear tribe. Plus Hags behind Zhang Tie, all the members of the Cardinal Elders Committee of Sacred Iceland Kingdom were at present.
Besides, O'Laura the princess of Sacred Iceland Kingdom, Sabrina the sweet dew goddess of Ancient God Church and 6 women of Spencer clan such as Mattia and Ballier were all at present.
All the women were well dressed up and contended in beauty and fascination. After such a few years, Ballier who was most innocent among the 6 women of Spencer Clan at the beginning looked faintly like enchanting, young mature women.
Each of the 8 women was followed by a little boy who was almost as old as Alexander.
Behind them were 5,000 fighters of Thor's Hammer in helmets and armors tidily who were waiting for his inspection.
The moment Zhang Tie appeared at the hatch door of the airboat, all the eyes focused on him at once. Watching this man who could appear in the critical moment of Sacred Iceland Kingdom once again, many people became thrilled. O'Laura held back her tears. All the 8 little boys were looking up at this man walking out of the airboat with black eyes. Before coming here, they had been instructed what to call this man and how to show their respect to his man. Their moms told them this man was their father, the very hero who saved Sacred Iceland Kingdom once again.
At the sight of this scene, Zhang Tie sighed with emotion. Suddenly, he ran his spiritual energy as he gave out a brilliant golden light, which then swept over the entire Summer Palace like an invisible, impact wave. Everybody in Saint Petersburg and Summer Palace was bathing in the strength and tranquility brought by this golden light.
——The supreme protection of the aiding strength!
With the effect of the supreme protection, all the fighters above LV 6 and knights were covered with beautiful halos. As a result, the entire palace of Summer Palace looked dreamlike.
Zhang Tie declared his arrival in this manner.
All the 5,000 fighters of Thor's Hammer released their battle qi totems as they roared at the same time, "Wula…wula…wula…", which shocked the entire Summer Palace.
"Welcome back, His Majesty!" All the elders headed by Pontiff Sharlin bowed towards Zhang Tie together with his women.
Zhang Tie took in a deep breath as he got off the airboat and came to the front of O'Laura. Watching her beautiful face, he lightly wiped off one drop of tear that rolled down her face.
O'Laura didn't speak. She just drew a little boy as old as Alexander to her front.
"Welcome back, father…"
The little boy who was dressed like a crown prince knelt down in front of Zhang Tie by one knee as he looked up and called Zhang Tie in child's tone out of curiosity.
"I hope he could be as brave as you when he grows up. Therefore, I call him Andre…" O'Laura said.
Zhang Tie stroked the little boy's head as he nodded. After that, he walked towards Sabrina.
Sabrina spoke to Zhang Tie with a smile, "He's Matvey, your gift to me…"
In the language of Slavs, Matvey meant God's gift.
"Welcome back, father…" The little boy who was dressed like a prince knelt down in front of Zhang Tie by one knee.
Later on, all the 6 little boys on the side of the 6 women of Spencer Clan greeted Zhang Tie one after another.
Mattia's kid was called Anatoli, which meant protector!
Ballier's kid was called Victor, which meant winner!
Katerina's kid was called Igor, which meant the beloved son of the God of Wealth.
Diana's kid was called Orego, which meant the sacred.
Eva's kid was called Nigolas, which meant great victory.
Sally's kid was called Lev, which meant lion.
Chapter 1241: The Joss of Ancient God
Translator: WQL Editor: Aleem
Zhang Tie's arrival sent the entire Saint Petersburg in an uproar. In the evening, the entire city was covered with colorful lanterns and in a carnival. The Summer Palace was also holding a grand evening banquet…
They held this evening banquet to welcome Zhang Tie for his return and celebrated the Sacred Iceland Kingdom for tiding over this crisis brought by Sacred Light Empire.
Although Zhang Tie didn't tell them explicitly, all the people were firmly convinced that there was a powerful heavenly knight on Zhang Tie's back, including Pontiff Sarlin. With such a reliance, they didn't need to worry about anything at all. Therefore, all the big figures in Sacred Iceland Kingdom let out a sigh as they were excited too much.
This evening banquet gathered all the big figures across Sacred Iceland Kingdom, including all the elders, clan heads, junior ones and family members of bear tribes, those above chief bishop and chief priest of Ancient God Church in Saint Petersburg and Zhang Tie's lovers and concubines such as O'Laura, Sabrina, Mattia, Ballier and Ms. Olina and his crown prince and princes.
Among all the people at present, besides O'Laura, the most eye-catching females were the 6 women of Spencer Clan. With 6 princes, Spencer Clan which was known by beauties shocked the entire Sacred Iceland Kingdom once again.
Because the crown prince and those princes were born in the same year with the same strange phenomena such as giving out the bizarre fragrance and having black pupils, the followers of Ancient God Church regarded them as the certificates of Ancient God's bloodline and their black pupils as the Ancient God's pupils.
After displaying the mysterious manifestations, dictating the Eternal Book and having so many boys with strange abilities, although Zhang Tie was not in Ice and Snow Wilderness these years, his reputation grew more and more famous. More and more commoners believed that Zhang Tie was the incarnation of the Ancient God.
Of course, the tribes which owned the descendants of Ancient God were favored and blessed by the Ancient God. But what about those tribes which had no descendants of Ancient God?
In Sacred Iceland Kingdom, except for that sexy fox in Ewentra Archipelago, only 3 tribes had the descendants of Ancient God, namely; immortal fox tribe, wild bear tribe and iron bear tribe. None of the other tribes had the descendants of Ancient God, even bear tribes.
The predecessor of immortal fox tribe was the grey eagle tribe where O'Laura the queen of Sacred Iceland Kingdom came from. After O'Laura was selected as the queen, the grey eagle tribe in the south region of Ice and Snow Wilderness developed rapidly. Many small and medium-sized tribes which were related to O'Laura by blood went and sought for refuge with the grey tribe on their own initiatives. After absorbing a lot of immigrants, the small grey tribe had already expanded into a fox tribe, which would soon upgrade into a bear tribe.
Previously, the bear tribes in Ice and Snow Wilderness only paid attention to Zhang Tie's descendants. With the further expansion of Ancient God Church and the dissemination of legends about Zhang Tie's mysterious manifestations over Ice and Snow Wilderness, clan heads and elders of some tribes felt an increasingly growing stress. Although nobody dared doubt their clan heads and elders, many people had such a question, 'Why don't our tribe have the descendant of Ancient God?'. Additionally, they felt that the management of their tribes should be responsible for that outcome.
Even the three elders of the huge bear tribe were facing the same great stress.
At this moment, many young beauties which were brought by the clan heads and elders of each bear tribe were gazing at Zhang Tie as they expected that Zhang Tie could throw a glance at them.
After the crisis facing Sacred Light Empire was relieved, those heads of tribes who realized that Zhang Tie had a heavenly knight on his back were more awestruck by Zhang Tie; especially those old guys of the Cardinal Elders Committee. Since Zhang Tie got off the airboat, although he didn't mean to put on his airs, someone still felt the special qi of earth knight over Zhang Tie.
When Zhang Tie left Ice and Snow Wilderness a few years ago, he was just a black iron knight; however, when he came back, he had promoted to an earth knight. What an amazing speed!
Honestly, in Ice and Snow Wilderness, an earth knight could wipe out all the tribes. Those old guys were firmly convinced that Zhang Tie was an earth knight and there was a heavenly knight on Zhang Tie's back although they might not believe that Zhang Tie was the incarnation of Ancient God. With such a powerful reliance, even idiots would seize this opportunity.
Therefore, at the order of those big figures at present, those beauties from all the tribes became nice scenery in the fervent atmosphere of the evening banquet. Those women who had the best frames and looks in their own tribes contended with each other in beauty and fascination by singing and dancing in front of Zhang Tie…
Now that females of Spencer Clan could do that, women of other tribes could do that too. No woman would acknowledge defeat on this aspect.
Women and men had different battlefields. When women contended in beauty and fascination, the young male warriors and elites of all the tribes entered the stage to compete with their fighting skills and display their braveness to Zhang Tie. Although they were not fighting at the risk of their lives, their fights were very ferocious. It's normal for them to suffer from wounds.
Zhang Tie sat alone at the highest seat. He was clear about the thoughts of those tribes. O'Laura was sitting close to Zhang Tie under his left hand, whose seat was higher than that of the others. All the others were sitting on Zhang Tie's two sides according to their identities.
The atmosphere at present was very fervent; however, Zhang Tie felt cold.
In this fervent atmosphere, Zhang Tie determined his mind. Actually, that decision had gone off his mind when he arrived at Ewentra Archipelago a few days ago. Watching his 9 kids and lovers in Saint Petersburg, Zhang Tie finally determined his mind.
When he was young, he was dissolute wherever he went; but now, he realized that he should shoulder the heavy responsibility as a man. The future of these women and these kids had long been closely related to him and was destined to share a common fate with him. He had to look after them.
In such a state of mind, Zhang Tie became distant of those beauties from all the tribes at present.
As he raised his glass and proposed a toast, he threw an icy glance at the outside of the palace by his lotus-flower eyes.
At this moment, two brave warriors of the mutated bear tribe and mountain bear tribe were fighting ferociously in the palace. When Zhang Tie put down his glass, the combat had come to an end. The longsword of the warrior of mountain bear tribe was sent flying away by the longsword of the warrior of the mutated bear tribe. Closely after that, the warrior of the mutated bear tribe penetrated through the shoulder armor of the warrior of the mountain bear tribe by his longsword. Even though, the warrior of mountain bear tribe didn't retreat; instead, he moved forward suddenly as he roared and twisted the arm of the warrior of the mutated bear tribe by two powerful hands. Closely after that, they kicked onto the opponent's lower abdomen and fell backward at the same time…
When the two brave warriors sprung up and intended to rush towards the opponents in an emulative way, a silvery sound of copper bell reverberated around the palace. Closely after that, the two brave warriors who had lost the battle strength of one arm stopped as they knelt down towards Zhang Tie's table by one knee at the same time.
Those who entered the ring for a performance were all powerhouses above LV 10 who could control their battle qis and attacking rhythms. No tribe would find a boorish fellow who couldn't control his emotion; if anyone was killed in the ring, they would have His Majesty's spirits dampened.
"You're all the brave warriors in Ice and Snow Wilderness. Each of you could have one vial of senior recovery medicament and a rune longsword!" Zhang Tie told them calmly.
Soon after Zhang Tie's words, two servants had cupped the two items to each of the two brave warriors.
"Thanks, Your Majesty!" The two warriors answered calmly as they received the reward by one hand. Closely after that, they stood up and bowed towards the opponent before returning to the seats of their own tribe. They didn't need to cure their wounds with senior recovery medicament. After taking a vial of medium recovery medicament and having 2 days' rest, they would recover their wounds ultimately. The vial of senior recovery medicament could only be used for saving their lives.
The clan head of the mountain bear tribe threw a glance at the two top beauties of his tribe. The moment he wanted to stand up and say something while gritting his teeth, Bishop Maxim who was sitting among the management of Ancient God Church on the opposite side of him had already stood up and bowed towards Zhang Tie as if he wanted to say something.
"Your Majesty, Ancient God Church has been the national church of Sacred Iceland Kingdom. It's growing prosperous in all aspects. Ancient God Church has already won hundreds of millions of followers. We've built thousands of churches and abbeys over Ice and Snow Wilderness and Ewentra Archipelago. All the followers of Ancient God Church expect to look at the ancient god and offer sacrifice to the ancient god. However, we dare not make the joss of ancient god freely. Your Majesty, please gift us the joss of ancient god or the relevant speculations!"
The moment bishop Maxim opened his mouth, all the clergies of Ancient God Church at present had stood up as they said in unison, "Your Majesty, please gift us the joss of ancient god…"
Ancient God Church originated from the Eternal Book , which emphasized on the perfection of the individual spiritual world and the tranquility of one's soul and inner heart. There was no joss of ancient god at all. Those stone vats that were put outside the grey palace were just the emblem of Ancient God Church. All the followers of Ancient God Church treated that emblem as the incarnation of ancient god and the representative of the joss.
Over these years, some followers of Ancient God Church stealthily made various josses of ancient god according to their own understandings. Although being different, they all looked like Peter Hamplester more or less. Those who had met Zhang Tie could make them a bit more similar to Zhang Tie. By contrast, those who had not met Zhang Tie completely made the joss according to their own imaginations and the legends about Zhang Tie. Due to so many kinds of josses, those followers couldn't reach an agreement. They didn't know which one was real. Additionally, that church emblem was not personified and lacked intuitive influence. Therefore, the management of Ancient God Church was longing for a standard joss so as to end this chaos among the followers and made the followers of Ancient God Church reassured.
'It's just a sculpture!'
Zhang Tie didn't care about that.
The moment Zhang Tie told Maxim and those clergies in the grey palace to make a joss themselves through negotiation, Heller's voice sounded in Zhang Tie's mind.
"No need to be that troublesome. Don't we have the ready-made joss in Castle of Black Iron?"
Zhang Tie understood Heller's words. Because the josses in Castle of Black Iron were made by those people who were saved by him at the beginning. The first joss in Castle of Black Iron was even made by Agan.
"Is that…good?"
Zhang Tie felt that the matter of sculpture was trivial; however, he didn't feel comfortable having so many people worship his statue. He felt that it was like a playing house full of kids. He could accept it in Castle of Black Iron. However, he really felt a bit bashful having hundreds of millions of people worship him in the real world. That was too self-important and presumptuous.
"Castle Lord has determined to face all this in your real identity, not to mention a statue. Additionally, Ancient God Church was founded by Castle Lord, the mark that you leave in your own church could be regarded as a souvenir. It's greater than an unreal, strange and meaningless face!"
Zhang Tie was convinced by Heller.
Zhang Tie didn't speak. All the people at present were watching him as they thought that Zhang Tie was still considering the image of the joss. Under the gaze of the public, Zhang Tie shook his head with a smile. Closely after that, a joss higher than 0.5 m appeared in his hand…
That was a vivid mithril joss. The joss had shiny eyes. He was holding a broomy small tree by one hand while holding a spear by the other hand. He was standing in the fiery hell barefoot. A sacred and brilliant arch door was opened while those hopeless living beings in the hell were swarming into the arch door flurriedly with vivid facial expressions. That joss wore a bizarre immortal crown, which was covered with patterns of suns, moons, stars, insects, fishes, birds and beasts…
At the sight of that joss, all the people at present were shocked spiritually; especially Pontiff Sarlin and the other two people who had seen Zhang Tie's original look were all watching Zhang Tie with unbelievable looks, because the joss's image was completely as same as that of Zhang Tie's.
Chapter 1242: Only the Great Hero Could Reveal his Original Look
Translator: WQL Editor: Aleem
Right under the gaze of all the people at present, Zhang Tie had people hand the joss that was made according to his original look to Bishop Maxim.
It was reasonable for those at present to be shocked by this scene. They were shocked by the joss instead of Zhang Tie's portable space-teleportation equipment. The moment Bishop Maxim opened his mouth, Zhang Tie had taken it out. This indicated that this joss had long existed. Due to some reason, Zhang Tie always kept it secretly.
At the sight of that joss, all the clergies' eyes gleamed. If not on such an occasion, they might have long swarmed up.
Those who knew a bit about sculpture and art understood that the joss was a masterpiece, not to mention the significance of the joss to the Ancient God Church.
Under the brilliant lamplight, the mithril gave out a mysterious and sacred metallic luster as if it had spirituality.
Undoubtedly, as the first joss of an ancient god in this world, it was qualified to be the holy item of Ancient God Church.
After receiving the joss, Bishop Maxim looked solemn. Although the joss was heavy, he still embraced it uprightly by two hands forcefully.
At the sight of the joss, the spot of the evening banquet was in an uproar. However, the moment Zhang Tie raised his hand, all the noises disappeared at once. Everyone moved their eyes onto Zhang Tie once again because they all knew that Zhang Tie wanted to say something.
Not knowing why, when Zhang Tie was going to make such an important decision, he felt tranquil and frank.
Not until then did Zhang Tie really understand the sentence of Zhao Yuan——No matter what, just ask yourself whether you're afraid of death or not!' It meant, only the great hero could reveal his original look!
Over the past years, Zhang Tie changed his identity between Zhang Tie, Peter Hamplester and Cui Li due to different situations positively or negatively. Therefore, he had different experiences and memories. Now, it was time for everything to return to their original look.
'Even Gold and Power Law, the imperial households of Taixia Country, Han Zhengfang, demons and Three-eye Association might have known the secret, why do I cover it in front of my closest people?'
The process from Zhang Tie to Peter and Cui Li and from multiple identities back to Zhang Tie was a nirvana for Zhang Tie's soul and growth.
After experiencing the complete collapse of Waii Subcontinent and the crises brought by the Gobbling Party, Han Zhengfang, the Heavens Reaching Church and the Sacred Light Empire, Zhang Tie found that he could now bear any enemy and stress. He could not escape any enemy or stress only by changing one identity. What was destined to happen would happen sooner or later. In this age, battle strength determined everything. In this case, he didn't need to wear his mask anymore here.
Under the quiet gaze of everybody at present, Zhang Tie took his glass as he stood up and came to the front of Ms. Olina. He revealed a tender smile towards Ms. Olina as he said, "You're the first one that I met in Saint Herner Island. Thank God, I saved you from the raid of those bandits of Demon Snake Island. When I saw you, I knew that the God favored me. It was you who made that shadow in my dream rich, warm, alive and beautiful. Do you know I was so moved when you ordered your subordinates to kill that b*stard of demon snake island who provoked Seablue Castle? From that day on, I've determined to protect you for the rest of your life. I propose a toast to you for loving me and protecting me!"
Zhang Tie raised his head as he bottomed up that glass of liquor.
As tears fell into her glass from Ms. Olina's face, she bottomed up her glass of liquor too.
After hearing Zhang Tie's sincere monologue, not only Ms. Olina, even O'Laura, Sabrina and all the other women had dropped off their tears.
Watching Zhang Tie stretching out his empty glass towards them, a maid on his side hurriedly filled his glass once again.
Holding his glass, Zhang Tie came to the front of O'Laura as he said, "The karma between humans is strange. When you wanted to kill me for 5,000 gold coins as a bounty hunter, we've already been destined to stay with each other. Thank God, you didn't chop off my head and exchange it for 5,000 gold coins in Eschyle City when I lost my ability to resist; instead, you spared a chance for me, who didn't look like a bad person. You spared me a chance to prove myself and move your mask away from your face. Do you know that you're most beautiful when you envy other women in front of me and set me free while refusing the 500,000 gold coins paid by others? In my eyes, your beautiful look is unrivaled and earthshaking. Do you remember what you told me at that time? You could risk your life to be a bounty hunter for money; however, you dislike to do any trade with the person whom you love. Because I'm priceless in your eyes. Even if you urgently need money, you would not trade me for 5,000 gold coins, 500,000 gold coins or more. I also want to let you know that you're also priceless in my eyes. I won't trade you for anything. It's my greatest achievement in Ice and Snow Wilderness to give you a happy home. I propose a toast to you for loving me and protecting me!"
O'Laura bottomed up her glass of liquor with tears over her face.
Zhang Tie came to the front of Sabrina with the third glass of liquor.
"You're the most beautiful scenery that I saw in the water. I could still clearly remember the plot when you swam in the river. That was my most beautiful encounter. In water, you were a mermaid. On the back of a xiphodon, you were a spirit with a smile. Everybody else said you were a slut; however, only I knew that you were as innocent as the most crystal white snow on the top of Elzida Mountain until you got pregnant. You're qualified to be the goddess. In the underground relics, in the most hopeless environment, you always stood by my side. Even if all the others thought that I was scared stiff, you still didn't give up. Do you remember what did you say to me at that time? I still remember your words. You said, "my little man, don't worry; we could still keep in touch with the outside. The rescue teams of the wild bear tribe and the other tribes would arrive here in a few days. As long as we stood 3 more months here, we would be saved for sure. As long as I could leave out of here alive, I would definitely take you out of here." Sabrina, thank you for sparing me a chance to be your man. I propose a toast to you for loving me and protecting me!"
Sabrina bottomed up her glass of liquor with tears over her face too.
The entire palace became silent. Even Tally the old wild bear on the side of Sabrina threw a glance at her with jumping eyebrows when he heard that Sabrina was the most crystal white snow on the top of Elzida Mountain.
Zhang Tie then walked to the front of the 6 women of Spencer Clan with the 4th glass of liquor.
"This glass of liquor is for our encounter. Although we have no romantic encounter, memorable experience of difficulties, I still respect you. Do you know why? Because in my eyes, you're also great women. Although being women, you shoulder the responsibility which couldn't even be assumed by men. You assume the hope of reinvigorating your clan. You didn't marry me; instead, you have married your clan which delivered you and raised you up. I know that each young and beautiful woman have their own dream. You have your own Mr. Right. I might not be that person in your dream; however, you still treat me sincerely and make me happy without regret. You realize the reinvigoration of Spencer Clan at the cost of your youth and whole lives. It's a sacrifice and the supreme righteous deed of a woman. My mom once told me that when a woman could abandon herself for her family or sacrifice herself for others, she deserves to be treasured and loved. Perhaps others only see your beautiful look and shrewdness, but I see your noble temperament and soul. When our kids grow up, I will tell them that their moms are great and admired by their dad. Thank you for loving me and protecting me!"
Zhang Tie bottomed up for the 4th time.
When Zhang Tie had not finished his words, the 6 women who had received strict education and always manifested themselves to the public with a shrewd and elegant image had long been covering their mouths tearfully. They watched this man who occupied their bodies and future as if they had just recognized him.
After hearing Zhang Tie's words, Elder Turing threw a complex glance at those women as he let out a sigh gloomily. Anatoli, Victor, Orego and the other kids were looking at Zhang Tie and their moms with widely opened eyes. They didn't know why this man whom they saw for the first time could make their moms drop their tears only by saying a few words.
"Beloved ones are rarest in the world. In Ice and Snow Wilderness, Sacred Iceland Kingdom, my biggest wealth is not my imperial throne, power, numerous gold coins or the worship from billions of people, but you. You're my biggest wealth and most precious things!" Zhang Tie looked at his women as he added, "Please forgive me and believe me that I didn't mean to cheat you. When I came to Ice and Snow Wilderness in the identity of Peter Hamplester, I've not imagined that I could meet you here. Not until today you have seen my original look!"
As Zhang Tie spoke, his hair and pupils started to turn black while his figure and look gradually turned into his original look under the gaze of everybody else at present——a Hua teenager at about 16 years old.
"My real name is Zhang Tie. You might have already heard this name!"
The palace became quiet at this moment as if they had just been struck by lightning bolts…
Chapter 1243: The Appearance of A Powerful Enemy
Translator: WQL Editor: Aleem
All the people at present were stunned by what they saw, including those who had just known Zhang Tie's real identity and those who had just seen Zhang Tie's body-changing immortal bloodline.
Even the 3 elders of the huge bear tribe who had known Zhang Tie's real identity were dumbfounded by Zhang Tie's body-changing bloodline. Although they knew that Zhang Tie had grasped some disguising skills, they had not imagined that Zhang Tie could change his look in the public in such a shocking manner.
Hua people thought immortal bloodlines were most mysterious, astonishing and closest to the ancestors of Hua people among the ancestral bloodlines. From a perspective, immortal bloodlines were closest to that of immortals.
In places outside Taixia Country which were not polished by Hua culture, immortal bloodlines were as shocking as the manifestations of God's will.
In the legends of the Western Continent and among Slavs, only God could change his look in the public. According to the familiar plots in epics and classic myths among Slavs, the God left the immortal mountain or the paradise from where he ruled the world and came to the mortal world in the incarnation of a male. He married a mortal woman and gave birth to semi-Gods or heroes who had extraordinary abilities. They had the bloodlines of God; therefore, they ruled the world on behalf of God. There were many similar stories in the traditional cultures of Slavs.
It was out of their imagination that such a plot could happen in front of them.
Zhang Tie's body-changing bloodline and the extraordinary specialties and abnormal phenomena of the crown prince and the 8 princes when they were born were reappearances of the plots in classic myths.
These people in the banquet; especially those pious followers of Ancient God Church were thrilled so much that they couldn't even control themselves when they witnessed the plots in the epics and classic myths.
Zhang Tie recovered his original look; however, he reappeared the plots in classic myths unconsciously.
Although others might not have heard about the name of Zhang Tie, those knights in the Cardinal Elders Committee were so familiar with this name; because this name was far more famous than that of Peter Hamplester in knight's world and was the legend among knights.
Ms. Olina, O'Laura, Sabrina and the 6 women of Spencer Clan were too shocked that they covered their mouths by hands at the same time.
At this moment, besides a few people, most of the people in the palace of the Summer Palace felt their heads buzzing and their hearts pounding; however, they remained silent and didn't know what to say.
Right in the silence, the palace reverberated with Pontiff Sarlin's sacred and ethereal sound…
��Our lord's look belongs to himself; however, the others couldn't identity his original look…"
"Our Lord, the creator who established the immortal undertaking comes from the east and the south…"
"Our Lord's most powerful weapon is the spear in his hand, which carries a terrifying, destructive power like that of a lightning bolt. His weapon will destroy all the enemies in front of us…"
"As the most sacred one among all the identities. He grasps all the powers of gods. He will bring the brilliance in the paradise to the mortal world and let everyone return to their original honor, regardless of gender and race!"
This was the prophecy of Elzida the greatest prophet among Slavs.
After hearing Pontiff Sarlin's words, everybody in the palace recovered their composure.
Zhang Tie had returned to his imperial seat. As he looked at those people at present, his words shocked them once again.
"From tomorrow onwards, I will abdicate as the tsar of Sacred Iceland Kingdom. Andre, the son of O'Laura and I will become the new tsar. Andre will ascend to the throne at the age of 18. Before that, Queen O'Laura will administer the affairs of state while being aided by the elders in the Cardinal Elders Committee. All the others remain unchanged…"
'His Majesty is going to abdicate?'
Zhang Tie's decision blew over the palace like a hurricane as fast as a lightning bolt.
'Why? Why?'
Everybody at present had the same question.
Zhang Tie's following words answered this question.
"After abdication, I will not assume as any title in the Sacred Iceland Kingdom and Ancient God Church. I will take Andre and the other kids to Eastern Continent, where they would receive the best education. I hope they could assume their own responsibilities in the future!"
All the people at present immediately understood that Zhang Tie gave up his imperial throne for the sake of his family and those beloved ones.
If Zhang Tie was still tsar, it was equal to giving up the entire Sacred Iceland Kingdom when he took all of his family members to Eastern Continent; however, it was acceptable if he gave up the imperial throne of tsar and took his kids to Eastern Continent for better education before the new tsar grew mature.
Everybody understood it; however, different people would always have different understandings.
O'Laura and the other women were watching Zhang Tie with complex expressions. Zhang Tie told them they were his most precious things just now. Only after such a short while, he had put his words into action. He could abandon everything in the Sacred Iceland Kingdom for the most precious things, including the much-adored, powerful imperial throne.
By contrast, Bishop Maxim and the other pastors accepted this fact most quietly. In all the legends and myths, when the deity exposed his real identity, he would leave the mortal world and return to his paradise or the immortal mountain. By then, no deity would continue to be fascinated by the power in the mortal world and sit in the mortal imperial throne. What happened in front of them were making the myths come true step by step.
Although Taixia Country and Eastern Continent were not paradises and immortal mountains, how could the deity's world be understood by mortals?
Zhang Tie became unprecedently relaxed at this moment. He sensed that he had really got rid of the affairs about Ice and Snow Wilderness and accomplished the promise that he had made to Pontiff Sarlin and the others. He lived up to Elzida who had seen him through the time and space maze.
To be honest, Zhang Tie didn't feel being great by making such a decision. He even felt being a bit selfish. He thought that he just took the most precious things with him so that he could protect and look after them well.
It was a simple multiple choise between "beloved ones" and the imperial throne. Zhang Tie chose the first one.
The Sacred Iceland Kingdom was just a small country in a subcontinent, which was nothing in Zhang Tie��s eyes. He didn't want his women to waste their precious days in this place. The outside world was bigger and broader. 'After leaving, if Andre and the others kids grow up, they could come back if they want. With my overall strength, do I need to worry about these things being robbed away? Additionally, after having private airboats, it's nothing difficult for O'Laura and the other women to come back as long as they want.'
"Heh…heh…do you want to leave in this way?" An icy voice drifted from outside in an overwhelming manner when it was quiet in the palace. After hearing this sound, everybody's heart pounded while all the members of the Cardinal Seniors Committee changed their faces greatly…
Chapter 1244: The Greedy Person
Translator: WQL Editor: Aleem
"Who's that?" Roslav, a bodyguard of Zhang Tie roared as he threw his spear towards the source of the sound outside the palace.
As Roslav was not a knight, his sense about the qi outside the gate was not as sensitive as that of those elders of Cardinal Elders Committee. As Zhang Tie's bodyguard, of course, he should launch an attack on the uninvited guest firstly in this case.
As a great battle master, although Roslav's blow was powerful, his spear suspended outside the gate of the palace in the air. Closely after that, the steel spear gradually turned into pieces like sands being blown over by the wind. All the people in the palace were shocked by this weird scene.
When the spear only had a 30 cm longer handle left, the stranger uttered a cold harrumph suddenly as he said, "Ant, how dare you fight me? Take it back…"
Closely after that, the spear's handle suddenly flew back towards the chest of Roslav with a shrill sonic boom with a much greater destructive power.
It happened as fast as a lightning bolt. The moment he finished his last word, the remaining handle had arrived at the chest of Roslav after drawing a fine fiery line in the air with a shrill sonic boom. Even though Roslav wore a heavy armor, his chest could still be penetrated through with an explosion.
Roslav didn't have time to dodge away. Even a LV 15 battle spirit would be killed by such a blow. This strike could match Zhang Tie's palm bolt.
However, when the short handle was about 16 cm away from Roslav, a clean and delicate hand stretched over here and pinched that handle steadily like pinching a bug.
The shrill sound and flame in the palace disappeared in a split second. Roslav who was saved changed his face greatly.
Zhang Tie watched the outside of the gate with a glassy-eyed look as he sneered, "A powerful shadow knight fought a fighter who's only a bit higher than LV 10, is that the demeanor of a halo pastor of Sacred Light Empire?"
After hearing Zhang Tie's words, all the others at present understood what happened as they all changed their faces greatly.
If an earth knight was unrivaled over Ice and Snow Wilderness; a shadow knight was definitely a deity for these people in Ice and Snow Wilderness. Before the Catastrophe, shadow knights were at the top of the food chain. Shadow knight would disdain to come to Waii Subcontinent, not to mention Ice and Snow Wilderness.
The air outside the gate of the palace was covered with mist in a split second. As the mist twisted, a human suddenly appeared and stood in the air outside the gate of the palace.
That stranger was tall and thin in a bizarre golden religious crown and a set of extremely brilliant religious boa silk robe which was covered with thin diamon and gem pies. Additionally, there were patterns of suns, moons and stars on the robe. Under the reflection of lamplight, his robe gleamed all over. Furthermore, it might have a runed effect as a brilliant halos which was similar to the cat eye effect covered his body, which looked pretty sacred and frightening.
That man overlooked those people at present like looking down at a cluster of ants. However, when he caught sight of Zhang Tie, his eye light changed greatly.
The tidy footsteps of guards in heavy armors and the scurries of xiphodons drew closer from all directions, causing ripples in the glasses on the tables. All the guards in the palace drew out their weapons immediately while rows of guards soon stood in front of Zhang Tie with heavy shields and spears.
Facing such a powerful opponent, neither the fighters of Thor's Hammer nor the imperial guards in the Summer Palace were scared away; instead, they all fully released their battle qis as they were gazing at that powerful knight who was suspending in the air outside the gate of the palace with fiery eyes and waiting for Zhang Tie's command. As long as Zhang Tie gave them a sign, they would rush forwards dauntlessly.
Fighters of Thor's Hammer could only fight to death; instead of being scared of death over Ice and Snow Wilderness.
Those junior fighters among tribes who were displaying their battle skills in front of Zhang Tie had also drawn their sabers and swords out of their sheaths and targeted at that stranger.
Bishop Maxim and the other clergies of Ancient God Church had stood up and glared at that shadow knight.
By contrast, those elders of Cardinal Elders Committee didn't make too excessive responses. They just watched Zhang Tie calmly because they all knew that nobody across the Summer Palace might survive on if Zhang Tie really wanted to fight that shadow knight here. These people at the banquet could barely survive themselves as long as they were affected by the impact wave of the two knights.
The distant shadow knight revealed a sneer. In his eyes, the responses of those fighters of Thor's Hammer and the other people in the banquet were nothing but sh*t. It seemed that a huge dragon was ridiculing the struggling ants.
Zhang Tie slightly raised his hand to stop the fighters of Thor's Hammer and all the others from moving. He was relieved by the dubious and dauntless fighters of Thor's Hammer. At this critical moment, Zhang Tie who knew clearly about the power of shadow knight understood that these fighters of Thor's Hammer were just seeking for death. Even if the entire Thor's Hammer was wiped out, that shadow knight would not lose one hair. This was the result of an absolute difference in power, which couldn't be fixed by quantity.
"As a powerful shadow knight, don't you introduce yourself to us in this case?" Zhang Tie asked that stranger without any fear. Actually, Zhang Tie had already known that when he arrived here just now. What Zhang Tie had not imagined was this crisis brought by Sacred Light Empire was not relieved with the extermination of the entire expeditionary fleet of Sacred Light Empire. Actually, this stranger came to Ice and Snow Wilderness even earlier than Zhang Tie. He just hid somewhere. This man was the absolute dominating power that Sacred Light Empire assigned to Ice and Snow Wilderness.
What made Zhang Tie puzzled was how could a shadow knight be attracted to Ice and Snow Wilderness? Did he know that the piece of God's Star was in the huge bear tribe? Besides that reason, Zhang Tie really couldn't think about another reason for the time being.
"Zhang Tie, no wonder you're the famous Hua knight in the knights' world. It's out of my imagination that you could still remain calm in front of a shadow knight. I'm Ockham, the halos pastor of the eastern parish of Sacred Light Empire." That man looked at Zhang Tie with shimmering and profound eye light. Although his eye light contained a sharp killing intent, it also contained a bit concern. The shadow knight continued, "You have one opportunity. As long as you and Ancient God Church join Sacred Light Church; pledge to be loyal to me and submit that immortal space-teleportation item, I will keep you alive; besides, I will let you be a throne pastor. It's your last opportunity…"
Zhang Tie's heart pounded, 'Does he know that I have Castle of Black Iron? That's impossible!'
"I indeed have one space-teleportation equipment; but what do you mean by that immortal space-teleportation item?" Zhang Tie asked calmly as many thoughts flashed through his mind.
"Do you want to waste time for the arrival of that heavenly knight?" Ockham's eye light turned perilous at once as he revealed a sneer, "Although I don't know how did you invite a mysterious heavenly knight to have him destroy the expeditionary fleet of Sacred Light Empire, I think that you must pay a lot for that. Additionally, that heavenly knight is not in Ice and Snow Wilderness. No matter how fast he could fly, he couldn't appear here in half an hour. Before he arrives, I could kill all of you and turn the entire Saint Petersburg into ashes. That's the price for you ants to offend Sacred Light Empire…"
As a shadow knight who ruled a suburban area of Sacred Light Empire, although Ockham couldn't match a heavenly knight in battle strength, he definitely knew the power of heavenly knight much better than commoners. Neither did he fear heavenly knight as much as commoners. Actually, Sacred Light Empire had heavenly knights too.
What was more, after Zhang Tie exposed his real identity, Ockham had known almost everything about Zhang Tie. He knew that Zhang Tie had no heavenly knight on his back whether in Huaiyuan Palace, among his friends or his masters. In this case, of course, that heavenly knight was invited from Taixia Country. That powerful heavenly knight probably had returned to Taixia Country. If not, the one on the highest seat in Summer Palace should not be Zhang Tie, but someone else. Additionally, it was not reasonable for a heavenly knight to hide somewhere to guard Zhang Tie who was just an earth knight. Zhang Tie was not the crown prince, he couldn't enjoy such a special treatment.
After thinking through all this, Ockham showed up immediately. As the expeditionary fleet of Sacred Light Empire suffered a great loss; if he couldn't achieve anything from the culprit of this event, it would be a laughingstock.
"You're causing me trouble only for that so-called immortal space-teleportation item? What if I tell you that I don't have one?" Zhang Tie said calmly.
As for Ockham, Zhang Tie's words sounded like the clumsiest lie. After bursting out into laughter, he said, "Don't tell me that you could provide drinking water for over 100,000 people for a few months in the underground relics. The so-called manifestations of God's will are just used to cheat those idiots. You'd better be smart in front of me. I've manifested the same God's will for over 100 times…" Ockham licked his lips as his eye light turned greedy, "After calculating the amount of drinking water that you provided in the underground relics, I know that you must be carrying an immortal space-teleportation equipment. Nothing else is worth my visit to Ice and Snow Wilderness except for that equipment!"
Zhang Tie saw a light suddenly as he finally understood the real purpose of Sacred Light Empire to launch a strike towards Ice and Snow Wilderness. The so-called revenge was just an excuse for cheating idiots. 'The fact that I killed that unfortunate guy of Sacred Light Empire a few years ago served as an excuse for Sacred Light Empire to launch a strike towards Ice and Snow Wilderness. As for Ockham, land, gold coins and population were nothing but sh*t because he could have as many as he wants. A shadow knight only cast greedy eyes on available powerful secret items…'
In Zhang Tie's eyes, Ockham was both extremely cunning and stupid…
