The Iron Thorn Battle Hall is still the same as before, at least not much has changed from the outside.
Unlike Zhang Tie who came in swinging his arms before, this time Zhang Tie and Benetta walked in directly from the parking lot of the arena through the VIP passage, and then took the VIP elevator directly to the VIP service area on the first floor of the arena.
Zhang Tie was not even qualified to enter the VIP service area on the first floor.
After letting Benetta change clothes in the VIP service area, Zhang Tie walked out of the service area and prepared to say hello to Manager Hans.
In any case, since you have agreed to Manager Hans to serve as the counselor of the battle hall, even if it is purely a false name, now that you are here, you should go and say hello. His reputation is fictitious, but the salary given to him by the battle hall is real. Twenty gold coins per week. This price is definitely high-salary in Black Flame City. Those who can get this salary, according to Zhang As far as Tie knows, it is only possible for those gold medal traders of the commodity exchange or business group managers in Black Flame City.
Twenty gold coins a week is at least more than 1,000 gold coins a year, which is also a huge sum of money.
The business in the war hall was better than Zhang Tie imagined. It seemed to be much more lively than when Zhang Tie came here to work. After the great changes in Black Flame City, more people seemed to wake up and began to understand the importance of force. In this era, money is a kind of strength and a kind of power, but only force is absolute strength and absolute power. Money can often turn into force, but force can turn into money at any time. The experiences of the Andaman Alliance in the past month or so have fully illustrated this point.
The martial spirit of the Norman Empire is unmatched by a commercial city alliance such as the Andaman League. Black Flame City, a four-city city within the administrative division of Brunswick Province under the jurisdiction of the Governor of the Northern Territory of the Norman Empire, People in first-class cities quickly experienced this difference, and they also changed over as quickly as possible. In the strict hierarchical system of the Norman Empire, possessing powerful force is definitely a shortcut to reaching the sky. And Zhang Tie seemed to have accidentally become the first representative of Black Flame City to take this shortcut.
When Zhang Tie came from the VIP area to Hans Experience's office. Along the way, I met several acquaintances from the war hall. Those people all knew that Zhang Tie's identity was now different from before. Especially after seeing Zhang Tie wearing a heroic uniform of the Norman Empire, those people faced each other one by one. Zhang Tie's attitude was simply a hundred times better than before.
The bright smile and thoughtful greetings made Zhang Tie very happy. It gave Zhang Tie a refreshing feeling of returning home in fine clothes.
After declining the guidance of several familiar gym staff, Zhang Tie went directly to Manager Hans's office. The door of Manager Hans's office was ajar. Although Zhang Tie could easily open the door and walk in, Zhang Tie still politely stopped outside. He knocked on the door with his hand.
His mother has often told him since he was a child: Don’t lose heart when you are frustrated, and don’t get carried away when you are proud. Zhang Tie remembered it and reminded himself often.
"Come in!" Manager Hans's voice came from inside. When he heard this voice, Zhang Tiecai opened the door and walked in.
Several people in Manager Hans' room seemed to be talking to Manager Hans about something. Seeing Zhang Tie open the door, several people turned their heads. Manager Hans didn't seem to expect that Zhang Tie would come to the gym at this time. The people who were talking to Manager Hans didn't seem to expect that Zhang Tie would come in at this time either. He was an officer from the Norman Empire, so they were all a little dazed.
Manager Hans was the first to react. In an instant, his face lit up, and his fat body stood up from the chair behind the desk with unprecedented agility. He quickly walked to Zhang Tie's side, pulled Zhang Tie and proudly said to those people. "Do you believe it? This is Zhang Tie, the most outstanding young man in Black Flame City, the senior advisor of our Iron Thorn Battle Hall, and the second lieutenant officer of the ace Iron Blood Battalion of the 39th Division of the Norman Empire. There are millions of people in Black Flame City The fifteen-year-old genius who was the first to learn the iron-blooded magic fist, the royal secret combat skill of the Norman Empire, before becoming the consultant of our battle hall. He was a member of our battle hall and has been fighting in our battle hall since he was a student. The gym undergoes the most stringent test. If you don’t believe it, you can ask him personally! Among the several battle halls in Black Flame City, which one can cultivate such talents like us? Choose our Iron Thorn Battle Hall. , you will definitely not be disappointed! The purpose of our battle hall is to make you feel that every gold coin you pay is worth it... "
Manager Hans' words made Zhang Tie blush a little.
The people sitting in Manager Hans' office seemed to be a family, a paunchy man in his forties who was well-dressed, a lady dressed in jewels, a bit pretty, but picky when looking at people, and then There are also a pair of blond little boys about ten years old. The little boys are twins.
Following the introduction by Manager Hans, everyone in what looked like a family set their sights on Zhang Tie. Zhang Tie smiled and nodded to these people.
"Can this person help my little Victor and Peter learn the secret battle skills of the Norman Empire?" As soon as the woman dressed as a lady spoke, Zhang Tie and Manager Hans felt like they were being choked. After a while, "As long as he can let my little Victor and little Peter learn the royal secrets of the Norman Empire, let my little baby grow up to become an officer of the Empire, and let our family become a noble family of the Empire, then there will be no more We can afford to spend more gold coins, don’t you think so, my dear!”
The man coughed twice in embarrassment, and seemed to feel that what the woman in his family said was a little too unreliable. The woman didn't seem to understand what the Iron-Blooded Fist was, but the man seemed to know a little bit about it, and therefore seemed a little a little bit. Sorry, the secrets of the royal family of the Norman Empire have become like cabbage in street markets in the mouths of their own women, as long as they can afford gold coins, they can be wholesaled.
Instructing Zhang Tie to sit on the sofa next to him for a moment, Manager Hans slowly returned to his seat, "Madam, your request is a bit too special. There is probably only one place in the entire Blackson Human Corridor. I barely meet your requirements!”
"Can you tell me where it is?" the woman still asked with interest.
"It is estimated that only the imperial royal family is half sure of achieving what you ask for!"
Hearing that only the imperial royal family could do half of what she asked, the woman stopped talking and looked at Manager Hans with wide eyes.
Manager Hans spread his hands. "Here, I can only guarantee you that we will give your little baby the best training and treatment, and your gold coins will not be wasted. If they really perform well in the future, they may have the opportunity to obtain the senior title of our battle hall. The consultant’s personal guidance will allow them to see what the Iron-Blooded Divine Fist is.”
Seeing what this short-sighted woman of his own wanted to say, the man quickly spoke and stopped the woman from speaking, in front of an imperial officer. "Manager Hans, so be it, we are very satisfied with everything here. We have decided to let our children receive training at the Iron Thorn Arena!"
…
Manager Hans sent the family to the door of the office and asked them to take them to go through the membership procedures. When leaving, the man nodded apologetically to Zhang Tie and wanted to say something. When he saw the man's eyes The trace of apology and caution in it. Zhang Tie, who was sitting on the sofa, smiled and shook his head to express that he didn't mind.
It was not a good thing to regard the Iron-Blooded Divine Fist as cabbage that could be exchanged for a few gold coins in front of an imperial officer. The man quickly took his woman away to avoid her saying anything else.
…
"The most adorable thing about this kind of family that got rich from mining is their gold coins. The most annoying thing is also their gold coins!"
Manager Hans, who returned to his desk, opened the cigar box on the desk, took out a cigar and asked Zhang Tie if he wanted one. Zhang Tie shook his head, and Manager Hans began to enjoy himself.
"I think the war hall's business seems to be good!" Zhang Tie smiled. "Much better than before!"
"The rules of Black Flame City have changed, and everyone has to change with them. In the Norman Empire, a merchant's highest status is no longer a noble. And soldiers who rely on martial arts and military exploits can advance to a noble family or even a noble. If you become a noble and noble and marry the royal family, you may still join the ranks of the royal family. The best-selling book in the Black Flame City bookstore in recent times is the "Chapter of Order" which introduces the imperial hierarchy..." Manager Hans Taking a puff of his cigar, "I heard that the Black Flame City Military Control Committee is now doing the final statistics and classification work for all strata in Black Flame City. Once this work is completed, Black Flame City will officially end military control and enter the new era. In the ruling order of the empire, a guy like me who can only make money can barely get into the noble class if he pays more diligently in the future and reaches a certain amount, or directly makes a huge donation to the empire. If he is not a noble, According to the rules of the Norman Empire, I cannot even ride in a private car when I go out in the future, but can only ride in a carriage. The color and decoration of the carriage cannot be gold, red, white or black. The number of horses pulling the carriage cannot be more than two. It cannot be used. Mutated horse breeds above the second level and other seven kinds of pure-blooded horses stipulated by Warcraft and the Empire can only be used by noble clans and above. The size and size of the carriage are also regulated. By the way, I can't even smoke cigars in public. You can only smoke at home or in the office..." Manager Hans sighed sadly, "The good days of the nouveau riche in Black Flame City are about to end!"
Looking at the sad look on Manager Hans's face, Zhang Tie originally wanted to express his sympathy, but when he thought that there would definitely be many guys in Black Flame City in the future who "only do small business" in Jerome's words, they could only sit one by one. Zhang Tie couldn't help but burst out laughing at the scene of running around in the black flame city in the strangely colored little carriage. The hierarchy of the Norman Empire is actually quite cute when viewed from another perspective.
"The smell of horse manure and flattery is not very pleasant!" Zhang Tie said carelessly while laughing.
Manager Hans, who was holding a cigar, was stunned for a moment, and then started laughing too.
"Why do you have time to come to the battle hall today?"
"Come here and take a look, collect your salary, and at the same time, when this uniform is most lethal, you can show off your authority in front of acquaintances and satisfy a little vanity!" Zhang Tiezhen said.
Manager Hans laughed even louder. He felt that Zhang Tie was really an interesting guy. It would be really easy to talk to such a person, and people couldn't help but feel happy. "Okay, you are now a sign of our gymnasium." , many people come here just because of your reputation. I will prepare the money for you first and pay you one year’s salary first. You can show your prestige first and I will give you the money when you leave!”
"Okay!" Zhang Tie said and stood up.
"Do you want gold tickets or gold coins for money?" Manager Hans asked.
"Gold coins! I just like the heavy feeling of gold coins in my hand!"
"Same as me!" Manager Hans laughed again.
…
After coming out of Manager Hans' office, Zhang Tie went directly to the VIP service area and began to enjoy the treatment of VIPs in the battle hall. Because Zhang Tie said he wanted to say hello, Benetta was still waiting for him here.
"Bring me all those female assistant coaches, I want to choose one!" Zhang Tie, who came to the VIP area, directly ordered the service manager of the VIP area, and the manager followed the order.
Seemingly knowing what Zhang Tie wanted to do, Benetta opened her mouth and wanted to say something, but in the end she didn't say it. Mary was just an ordinary female assistant coach in the gym. After Zhang Tie left, Benetta did not tell Mary in the end. Conquer and make Mary his woman, and after learning about him and Zhang Tie, his mother has sternly told him not to associate with Mary as a woman anymore. According to Benetta’s mother, a stupid but self-righteous woman like Mary will only bring disaster to the men around her.
In a short time, dozens of young beauties came to the VIP area, and every woman began to stare at Zhang Tie.
Mary was also among the female assistants. Zhang Tie saw her at a glance. Similarly, she also saw Zhang Tie. Although there were many legends about Zhang Tie in the fighting hall, the moment she saw Zhang Tie, Mary His face was still pale, and his body was shaking involuntarily.
Zhang Tie pointed at Mary. Although he said nothing, a smile appeared on his face. Everyone noticed that Zhang Tie had been staring at Mary, and the female assistants around him also looked at Mary.
Amid the complicated, jealous, or gloating looks around her, Mary walked out of the crowd with some trembling.
"It's her, I want Mary!" A sudden voice suddenly sounded from the side. This voice was full of provocation. Zhang Tie turned his head and saw a familiar little kid standing next to two bodyguards. The escort walked over and raised his eyebrows provocatively at Zhang Tie. When the two bodyguards next to him saw the uniform Zhang Tie was wearing, one of them changed his face and quickly lowered his head. The little kid said something in his ear, but unexpectedly, he was glared at hard by, "Shut up!".
Zhang Tie looked at this arrogant little kid and suddenly remembered who was here - he was the one who kicked him unconscious the first time he came to the battle hall. This little kid seemed to be called Gregory...
