When Zhang Tie came out of Qinyuntang, many people in the lobby of Qinyuntang were still discussing the news about the discovery of traces of demons on the hurricane plateau in the western part of the Golan Empire. Zhang Tie had no intention of listening to those discussions anymore. Qinyuntang looked through the intelligence briefings on the Weiyi subcontinent that the family had sent to Lingtian Court in the past few months and left here.
Those intelligence briefings are used to let people in Lingtian Court understand the major events happening outside, so that Lingtian Court will not be trapped on Qianlong Island and isolated from the world. After all, the Zhang family in Huaiyuan cultivates usable talents in Lingtian Court. Rather than a hermit.
In the intelligence briefing of the previous month, Zhang Tie found a piece of news that he was concerned about—after nearly half a year of fighting, the war between the Norman Empire and the Sun God Dynasty in the Karur area had stopped. After the armistice between the Man Empire and the Sun God Dynasty, with Karur City as the center, the Selindor family that ruled Karur City officially announced the founding of the country, and Alexia Selindol officially became the ruling family of Karur City. the queen.
The new country formed with Karur City as its core is a typical pocket kingdom. On the day of its founding, Queen Karur announced that Karur would maintain a national policy of permanent neutrality.
Zhang Tie knew that the Serindol family had the confidence to declare the founding of the country because there was a powerful alchemist standing behind their family. Neither the Norman Empire nor the Sun Dynasty would challenge each other at the same time to compete for a city. Two powerful enemies, and finally offended a terrifying alchemist. This income and effort are really disproportionate.
The war in the Karur area has stopped, which is good news for Zhang Tie, because this way, his friends in Black Flame City and Iron Blood Camp will no longer have to go to the battlefield. The news that traces of demons were discovered in the hurricane plateau in the western part of the Golan Empire was extremely bad news for Zhang Tie. Whether the demons discovered in the Hurricane Plateau were a small group of demons that caused false alarm or the demons had really found a passage to the underground world of the Hurricane Plateau, this was a bad omen.
The footsteps of the demons are approaching, the footsteps of the holy war are approaching, and the preparations for the holy war by the big shots in the human race are also accelerating. The smell of the coming troubled times has become stronger and stronger.
Among the intelligence briefings sent by those families, there has been an undercurrent surging throughout the Hawaiian subcontinent in recent months. The murderer of the family massacre of the elder family of the Carlo Federation Alchemist Union has not yet been found. The king of the Laika Kingdom News of the assassination emerged again. After the king of the Laika Kingdom was assassinated, the prince and the prince fought for the throne. The Kingdom of Laika suddenly fell into division and war.
The Kingdom of Laika here has fallen into a civil war, and several countries in the Niyin River Basin, known as the granary of the Human Corridor, have encountered rare insect plagues. All food crops will be significantly reduced this year.
There are constant reports of originally safe airship routes being attacked by dangerous creatures in the wild, and some routes have even been cut off. In this case, air traffic links between countries in the Terran Corridor. Start to become vulnerable. Many countries have even begun to send war airships to join in route patrol and escort missions...
Zhang Tie returned to Songtao Pavilion with a heavy heart.
When Zhang Tie returned to the room, he did not turn on the lights in the room. Instead, he sat quietly and thought in the dark room for almost ten minutes before entering the Black Iron Castle silently.
When the dreamlike seven-colored clouds and those soft and bright lights over the Black Iron Castle reappeared in Zhang Tie's eyes, Zhang Tie's somewhat depressed mood began to get better.
At this moment, the Black Iron Castle has shown more vitality. Compared with the previous monotonous piece of land, the area of the Black Iron Castle at this time has increased a bit, the new extra part. It is a lake with an area of more than 300 acres. This new lake is Zhang Tie's achievement in the past few months.
In the past few months, the seawater Zhang Tie absorbed in the sea, after being converted into the basic energy reserves of the Black Iron Castle, has reached a huge amount that Zhang Tie could not even imagine before, because the basic energy reserves are sufficient and the ambitious Heller used the space and terrain transformation functions of the Black Iron Castle to turn part of this energy into a freshwater lake that he had planned for a long time.
At this moment, looking at the sparkling lake in the distance, Zhang Tie really felt that the Black Iron Castle was different from before. The entire Black Iron Castle could already give people a relaxing and happy feeling.
After all, humans are still animals that like water.
Zhang Tie came to the small tree and looked at the fruits on the tree.
The latest flawless fruit will take three days to mature. With the next two flawless fruits, the ninth bright spot on your spine will be ignited. When advancing from level six to level seven, the difficulty of advancement has begun to increase significantly compared to before. There are 8 bright points at level six and 13 bright points at level seven. It takes a total of 5 bright points to ignite to complete this promotion. Its difficulty is the same as the previous difficulty of advancing from level one to level five and upgrading to four levels in a row. The further you go, the more terrifying the difficulty of upgrading will be. Of course, the power and strength of each level will also have a quality. growth of.
The latest iron fruit is 95% mature and can be eaten tomorrow. The only thing that can be eaten today is the redemption fruit obtained by releasing the sand scales at the dock fish market today.
-The fruit of salvation - Sand Scale's Gratitude, has matured, how to use it, eat it directly after picking it. Note that the fruit cannot be taken away from the Black Iron Castle. Twelve hours after picking, the energy and vitality in the fruit will gradually be lost.
-This fruit can increase the Lord's body's cold resistance in water and cold environments by 8%, and increase the body's sensitivity to water flow by 8%.
-After eating it, the Lord's body's cold resistance in water and cold environments will be cumulatively increased to 702%, and the body's sensitivity to water flow will be increased to 702%.
Zhang Tie picked the fruit, put it in his mouth, and ate it in three mouthfuls. After his body had digested the transformation brought about by this fruit, Zhang Tie opened his eyes and found that Heller was already standing on the stone steps of the small tree. Below, he is waiting for himself to finish digesting the fruit.
"Handsome and majestic Lord of the Castle, welcome to the Black Iron Castle!" Seeing Zhang Tie open his eyes, Heller saluted Zhang Tie respectfully.
In this case. It was Zhang Tie's greater vanity to be told by someone than to just read a line of text. However, looking at Heller's handsome face that made people jealous, Zhang Tie felt slightly embarrassed to claim to be handsome and majestic in front of Heller. That requires such a thick skin!
Zhang Tie rubbed his face and walked down the stone steps, "Well, Heller, please don't add the prefix "handsome and majestic" when you call me from now on. Just call me the Lord of the Castle!"
"As you wish!" Heller gently caressed his chest and bent down, his demeanor impeccable. Zhang Tie smacked his lips, "Where are Edward and Aziz?"
"Because it was late, they had already gone to bed! I only got up after knowing that the Lord of the Castle came in..."
Zhang Tie then remembered that Edward, Aziz, and Heller were actually similar to normal people, and they also needed to eat and sleep.
"There is no night here. Are you still used to it?"
"Because this space and the world you are in are connected through you, so in order to make you feel comfortable. The time and environment here are also synchronized with the outside. There will also be dark nights, but because of the arrival of the Lord of the Castle, it is bright again It lights up, just like a house that lights up automatically when its owner comes back!”
"Is this so?" Zhang Tie suddenly became interested, "Can you show me what it's like here at night?"
I have been to the Black Iron Castle countless times, and every time I come here it is daytime. Zhang Tie still doesn’t know what it’s like at night in the Black Iron Castle.
"Lord, Lord, you want to see the night here?"
"Yes!"
As soon as Zhang Tie finished speaking and Heller didn't see anything done, the entire space of the Black Iron Castle darkened and became exactly the same as the night outside. The colorful clouds and mists in the sky and surroundings of the Black Iron Castle instantly became dark. Only a cloud in the sky still maintained some light, hanging in the sky like the moon outside, and even the visibility was about the same as outside.
Zhang Tie opened his mouth slightly and looked at the sky that suddenly darkened around him. He did not expect it to happen so quickly, but the black iron castle in the night also gave Zhang Tie a novel feeling.
"Are the nights here always like this?"
"No, the brightness and visibility of the light here at night completely depends on the trajectory of the double moon at night in the world where the Lord of the Castle is. The night here is the brightest during the double full moon, and the darkest at night during the double quarter moon. Here It's the same as the night outside," Heller replied.
"From now on, let's keep this place in sync with the outside. When I come in, I don't have to deliberately make it look like it's day time. It's just night, and everything will just go with the flow. It feels good this way!" Zhang Tie said as he looked around.
The Black Iron Castle at night also has a different kind of tranquility and beauty.
"Okay! As you wish!" Heller smiled and told Zhang Tie something, "There are not enough plant species in the Black Iron Castle. The more complete the plant species here, the more spiritual energy that can be produced every day." The more, the more spiritual energy values will be of many uses later. If the Lord of the castle has time recently, see if you can get some plants or plant seeds for the Black Iron Castle. It is best to have a batch of wetland plants and Aquatic plants adapted to survive in fresh water!”
"I will try my best!" Zhang Tie said with a little embarrassment. Heller, the housekeeper, is so competent. Compared with Heller, Zhang Tie is like a lazy master who needs to be reminded of everything.
Zhang Tie was about to leave when Heller reminded him of the next sentence that made him stop.
"The Lord of the Castle has been too busy these days and seems to have forgotten that the large vats of solutions you brewed with the Yuan Neng Spirit Qi yeast and fruits in the laboratory have been fermented for some time!"
"Ah!" Zhang Tie slapped his forehead and almost forgot about it.
Zhang Tie came to the laboratory and opened one of the three huge clay pots in the laboratory with some curiosity...
A strange and light fragrance emanated from the mouth of the clay pot. In just an instant, the entire laboratory was filled with this strange and light smell.
Zhang Tie was stunned—this... what is this? Why does it smell so good...
