Chapter Twenty-Three: The Pond is Full of Golden Lotus

"Lord Castle!" When the two little girls who were full of awe and excitement left, Heller saluted Zhang Tie again.

Zhang Tie asked Heller, "What's going on with this god of cause and effect?" ”

"That's the name given to the lord of the castle by the inhabitants of the Black Iron Castle, cause and effect represent punishment, and salvation, which is both the beginning and the end, cause and effect are the laws of the laws, the source of a qiē power and creation, and the parents of a qiē law, a qiē law, all of which are the specific manifestations of the law of cause and effect, the god of cause and effect, the god of gods, the god of all gods, the lord of creation, this title represents the worship and love of the residents of the black iron castle for the lord of the castle!" Heller said.

Is that so?

Zhang Tie touched his bald head, it sounded like a cow, which made him a little embarrassed.

"This ...... Nothing is wrong, right? Zhang Tie asked Heller a little embarrassed, mortals are worshiped as gods, this kind of thing seems to be a bit exaggerated.

"What is there to worry about, Lord Castle?" Heller asked rhetorically.

Again, this is just a title, and there is really no need to worry too much.

Can a wanted criminal be worshipped like a god? Zhang Tie smiled self-deprecatingly, but didn't care, but walked directly to the small tree full of fruits.

It hasn't been here for a long time, and the little tree is full of unleaked fruit.

The fruit of redemption of bay shrimp and flower hairy shellfish also hangs on the branches of the small tree, and it is very splendid......

――The Fruit of Redemption Bay Shrimp's Thanksgiving, has matured, how to use. Pick and eat directly. Note that the fruit should not be taken away from the Black Iron Citadel. After 12 hours of harvesting, the energy and vitality within the fruit will gradually be lost.

-- This fruit can increase the healing and recovery ability of the castle lord's body by 18.7%. In hypoxic and hypoxic environments, the upper limit of the body's tolerance is increased by 9.3%.

-- The Fruit of Salvation Flower Hairy Shell Thanksgiving, has ripened, how to use, and eats it directly after picking. Note that the fruit should not be taken away from the Black Iron Citadel, as the energy and vitality within the fruit will gradually be lost after twelve hours of picking.

――This fruit increases the defense and ability of the castle lord's body to withstand attacks by 4.3%.

These two fruits show that even though Zhang Tie left Yanghe County, Paul was still meticulously carrying out the tasks he had assigned, and the release work did not stop.

Zhang Tie laughed. Start enjoying the fruit.

The so-called strong man comes out step by step.

It takes a lot of steps to reach thousands of miles, and it is these countless fruits that make Zhang Tie climb towards higher peaks all the time.

The non-leakage fruit in front has become Zhang Tie's "tonic" for his battle spirit, Zhang Tie has a few ones, just like eating ordinary fruits, and soon, the leak-free fruits saved by Xiaoshu in the past few months have been eaten by Zhang Tie. After eating the Fruitless Fruit, Zhang Tie began to eat the Fruit of Redemption again, compared to the Fruitless Fruit, it took more time to digest the two Fruits of Redemption. It took Zhang Tie almost three hours to digest Zhang's two fruits of redemption and make them his real combat power.

It was only two days back at the Lion Fortress. Zhang Tie stepped into the transformation realm of the Black Iron Knight and obtained an enhancement of the Emperor-level secret method. At this time, a bunch of fruits are in the stomach. Zhang Tie's hidden strength of the whole person has increased one step further.

After eating the fruit, Zhang Tie walked down the altar where the small tree was, and was about to return to the Knight's Tower, but Heller stopped him.

"Lord Castle, you seem to have forgotten something?"

"What's that?"

"How does the castle lord feel in the First Abyss?"

"That's right, it's just that the black fog in the first abyss is too big, and the visibility is not high!" Zhang Tie didn't know what Heller was going to say.

"The garrison knights of the Lion Fortress have to drink a high-grade night vision potion every other year to stay in the Earth Metaverse, and the lord of the castle seems to have forgotten how he has not needed to drink night vision potions to have dark vision abilities all these years!"

Zhang Tie was stunned at first, then blinked, then blinked, something in his memory was touched, and then suddenly became ecstatic......

Many people have this experience, when moving, suddenly find a passbook or some forgotten hidden gold coins in the house in the house, and then they are overjoyed, there is a feeling of pie in the sky.

Zhang Tie is like this at the moment, he has been busy fighting all these years, if Heller doesn't say it, he may not be able to remember it at all.

In the Black Iron Castle, he actually has a treasure - the Flame Red Lotus.

It was the lotus seed of the Flame Red Lotus that gave him the ability to see darkness stronger than when taking night vision potions.

"Ah, what happened to the Flame Red Lotus in the Black Iron Castle now?"

"Won't the castle lord come with me to have a look?" Heller said, already making a gesture of please.

Zhang Tie rushed directly into the underground passage of the palace tree.

The underground passage of the palace tree, which connects to Mount Kinabalu.

The interior of Mount Kinabalu is different.

The largest warehouse in the Black Iron Castle is in the belly of Mount Kinabalu, Aziz's various wine cellars are also in the belly of Mount Kinabalu, and Edward's foundry is also in the belly of Mount Kinabalu.

For the rune refiner, Edward's foundry was simply a place where people could make a lot of water flow - it was a place that used dozens of extremely pure earth fires of different high temperatures to quench artifacts, and every rune refiner would long to have such a workshop, and dozens of earth fires of different temperatures would appear in the same workshop, which no one dared to imagine.

Zhang Tie didn't understand it before, but today, from the perspective of a master craftsman, Edward's foundry in the Divine Mountain is simply a dream factory for rune refiners, it is too high, except for the Black Iron Castle, it is impossible to find such a place in the whole world.

Just at the bottom of the Sacred Mountain, in a hidden place, Zhang Tie saw his flaming red lotus.

It was a lake of magma that covered several hectares with boiling heat, and that was above that lake of magma, right now. A piece of red light flashed, countless flaming red lotuses. And it grew out of the lava.

The red light was shining with the lotus leaves of the flaming red lotus. Among those red lotus leaves, there are golden lotus flowers, some golden lotuses are budding and waiting to be released, some golden lotuses have bloomed, and some golden lotuses have condensed into lotus pods and lotus seeds.

In the space where the entire magma lake was located, there was a strange faint fragrance everywhere.

The remaining lotus seeds at the beginning, all these years. It has become a magnificent scene of flaming red lotus.

Seeing a scene of lush foliage in a magma lake, this contradictory sense of immediacy appeared in front of Zhang Tie's eyes. Replacing the scene in front of him with ordinary water and lotus flowers, many people on the surface have seen it, and the scene of a lake full of flaming red lotuses growing in a lake of magma, Zhang Tie dares to bet that even his master Zhao Yuan has never seen it.

This is a grand scene in a grand scene, and it is also a manifestation of the creation of the Black Iron Fortress, and he is not a god. The Black Iron Citadel is the god.

"After the first batch of Flame Red Lotus matured, Lord Castle Lord didn't mention this matter, it seems that there is no need for Flame Golden Lotus for the time being, so I will make my own opinion. Those lotus seeds were planted again, and after all these years of continuous cultivation with the aura of the Black Iron Castle, such a scale was formed. In this magma lake, there are already 1,149 flaming golden lotuses. ”

Zhang Tie squatted next to the magma lake. Curiously, he reached out and touched the lotus leaf of the Flame Golden Lotus, the lotus leaf. It is about the same size as an ordinary lotus leaf, but the temperature is not high when touched in the hand, but warm, with a metal-like texture, completely like a super alloy blade, the power in Zhang Tie's hand is very terrifying, but with the power of his hand, he pinched the lotus leaf of the Flame Golden Lotus, but he couldn't crush the lotus leaf, but he just left a fingerprint on the lotus leaf. Zhang Tie flicked it with his fingers, and there were two crisp and pleasant sounds of gold and iron on the lotus leaves.

The wonder of silicon-based life is really unimaginable to ordinary people.

With the master craftsman's instinctive feeling for the material, he knew that the lotus leaf of the Flame Red Lotus was an extremely rare material, the lotus leaf of the Flame Red Lotus was not only light, but also extremely strong, and it seemed to have some special properties, if this material was used to forge a battle armor, that kind of battle armor would be absolutely rare.

Zhang Tie touched the lotus stem again, there were some fine metal-like burrs on the lotus stem, and like the lotus leaf, the lotus stem of the Flame Red Lotus was also a precious refining material.

Zhang Tie stood up and asked Heller, "What is the effect of this Flame Red Lotus's lotus root?" ”

"The lotus root of the Flame Red Lotus is still unusable for the Castle Lord?"

"Why?"

"Because even after processing, only the earth knight who has condensed the earth chakra can digest and absorb the effect of the flame golden lotus root, this thing can make the earth knight's body's resistance to high temperature and lava to an incredible situation, and it can also make the earth knight's body protection battle qi complete an evolution, with a trace of flame power, from a simple passive defense, to damage to the enemy when defending?"

"Can the Protective Battle Qi have the ability to attack?"

"Hasn't the castle lord already seen it once, isn't that how your master Zhao Yuan is!"

Zhang Tie thought of the first time he saw Zhao Yuan, it seemed that this was indeed the case, at that time, Zhao Yuan didn't move, the tenth-level warrior of the Zhen family in Tianhan City, who attacked him, only touched Zhao Yuan's clothes with both hands, and his two arms instantly turned into ashes......

Looking at the lotus in front of him, Zhang Tie was already asking himself a question, if he ate all these lotus seeds of the Flame Golden Lotus, he didn't know what the effect would be.

"Wait for three more days, and the castle lord will be able to try the taste of these flaming golden lotus seeds, and the castle lord will definitely have a special surprise at that time!" Heller said leisurely.

……

After returning to the Black Iron Castle, when he came out again, Zhang Tie's whole person became full of confidence in the upcoming operation.

The day passed quickly......

……

The next day, at 8:50 p.m. on November 3, Zhang Tie sorted out his things and equipment in the knight's tower, carried his metal field bag, with an abyss spear next to his bag, a gold-devouring three-edged dagger in a metal scabbard on his waist, metal tiger claw combat boots under his feet, and a set of soft-armored combat uniforms, and came to the gate of the Lion Fortress.

As the saying goes, people rely on clothes, horses and saddles, and with such a brand-new outfit, Zhang Tie's whole temperament looks much taller and stronger than a few days ago. The whole person is majestic and murderous.

Gong Ziyao and Zhou Shufan arrived a few minutes earlier than Zhang Tie. The two of them were waiting outside the gate of the Lion Fortress, and the two people today were also carrying a knight-level field bag on their backs. Gong Ziyao was also wearing a half-body set of metal armor, while Zhou Shufan was wearing a set of gray high-level knight soft armor and an extra short sword.

"Brother Cui's outfit makes people have the courage of ten thousand people at a glance, and if you put on a high-end armor, it will be even more powerful!"

"Hah...... Ha...... The two brothers are not bad! Zhang Tie laughed.

In just a few minutes, everyone who had seen them in the Iron Blood Tower yesterday arrived one after another. All of them were ready, and almost everyone carried a knight-level field bag.

Knights who don't have space equipment have to travel far away, and they also have to carry a lot of things with them. Sometimes, if you bring an extra water bottle, it may make you survive in a desperate situation, so no one dares to be careless.

The knights at the gate of the Lion Fortress looked at the group of knights gathered here and did not make a fuss. Because of the knights who set out in teams, in the Lion Fortress, you can see several teams every day. Whatever these knights are going to do, as long as they leave the Lion Fortress. There is the possibility of encountering demons, and when encountering demons, the only way to solve the problem is to use the sword, which is also objective. Defended the Lion Fortress.

The real person who was also carrying a metal bag still arrived on time, not sooner or later. Seeing that everyone had assembled, the Zhenren who looked solemn nodded his head. Just said crisply, "Go!" The whole person flew into the air.

The crowd also flew up one by one with the real people holding the mountain.

As the earth knight, the speed of the mountain is very fast in the air, just after flying for a while, his speed, in Zhang Tie's feeling, reached a speed of almost 800 kilometers per hour, and everyone hurriedly followed.

For the average Black Iron Knight, this speed, if you want to hold on for a few hours, is already a bit of a struggle.

Holding the mountain real person while flying while observing everyone's table, saying a thousand ways and ten thousand, how is the personal ability, just pull it out at the critical moment, and you can watch the excellent black iron knight in the air, and its own strength will definitely not be bad.

Although each knight in the squad has a history of killing demon knights, everyone can be regarded as the elite of the Lion Fortress, but there will also be a gap in the strength of everyone.

Just after flying like this for an hour, the strength level of the entire team was revealed.

The knight couple still followed closely to the real man of the mountain, while the three knights of different races slowly fell to the back of the team.

Zhang Tie, Gong Ziyao and Zhou Shufan flew together, the speed was unhurried, although they did not fly to the front, but Zhang Tie's relaxed temperament made Zhushan Zhenren look at him a few more times, and nodded secretly......

……

For Zhang Tie, this operation, the silver vault is what I want, and the demon knight is what I want, it is good to be able to harvest the silver vault, even if it can't be harvested, it is not bad to be able to kill a few demons, even if in the end, everyone has not even encountered a demon race, then, under the leadership of a bunch of old birds, to understand the situation of the first abyss, to explore the secret realm of the first abyss, for a newcomer who has just arrived at the lion fortress, it is also a great gain. This operation will be like a knight tour group of the First Abyss.

Zhang Tie's mentality is the most relaxed......

This prestige is not cultivated in a short period of time, but is naturally formed by many of these knights in contact with him for a long time. For example, Gong Ziyao and Zhou Shufan fought together with Zhushan Zhenren in the First Abyss two years ago, and they already have some understanding, and because of this, both of them have great trust in Zhushan Zhenren.

According to Zhang Tie's observation, although the real person of Zhushan is a little strict, his character is still trustworthy. If he didn't have this bit of personality charm, he wouldn't have responded to it and gathered such a team lightly.

In such a place as the Lion Fortress, the character of an Earth Knight can easily become a secret that the Black Iron Knight knows in a very short period of time.

……

After leaving the Lion Fortress, after flying for less than an hour and a half, seeing that some people in the team had begun to be a little exhausted, the real person took the lead and landed on the ground, and then a group of people changed from the flying state to the running state on the ground and continued to move forward......

For knights, as long as they are not flying, even running fast on the ground is similar to resting.

The knight's moderate running speed on the ground is about 200 kilometers per hour, and in the running state, the knight can adjust his breath as he goes.

For Zhang Tie, running is not a problem.

Four hours later, like the leading geese, the real man flew up again, and all the knights followed closely......

After a night of running, by the next morning, the clouds in the sky of the Earth Metaverse began to turn white, and the first abyss had appeared in front of everyone......

Zhushan Zhenren fell in a valley less than ten kilometers away from the first abyss, there are some plants in the Earth Metaverse in this valley, and there is a stream, which is an ideal place to rest for supplies before entering the first abyss.

"Rest and prepare for three hours, and after three hours, we enter the first abyss!" As soon as he fell to the ground, the real person who held the mountain said neatly.

After saying this, the real person found a place to meditate quietly with his eyes closed.

Zhang Tie went directly to the downstream of the creek and washed his face with water.

"Hello, my name is Felton, a knight from the Republic of Grims on the Western Continent, what's your name?" The black knight took the initiative to come over and greet Zhang Tie......

Filton speaks Mandarin fluently......

Republic of Grims? Zhang Tieleng paused for a moment, he remembered where he seemed to have heard of this country, oh, by the way, Lady Elena's Blue Castle merchant group seemed to be trading with this country in the Western Continent.

Zhang Tie stood up, wiped his hands casually, and said very simply, "My name is Cui Li, and Cui Li ...... Yongzhou."

Zhang Tie took the initiative to stretch out his hand, but Felton clenched his fists......

The two of them froze for a moment, and then changed their own hands.

This one turned into a fist again, and Felton stretched out his hand.

The two men looked at each other and laughed together.

"Cecilia just made a bet with me, and she said I'd be going to touch the dust!" Felton said with a smile.

"Ah, why?"

"Because the Chinese knights we know in the Lion Fortress are either too proud or too reserved, and you don't seem to be easy to mess with!" Facton gestured with his eyes to the blonde and blue-eyed female knight who was looking at her.

The female knight named Cecilia is not only hot, but also good-looking, with a goose egg face that is not alluring, but also heroic and sassy, looking very atmospheric, with her blonde hair in a shawl, it looks very charming.

"Hahaha, then you can sue that chick, in addition to the proud and introverted knights of the Chinese clan, there are also people like me who like to make friends with sincere people!"

Hearing the word chick come out of Zhang Tie's mouth, the female knight over there snorted coldly.

"You think I'm sincere?" Felton pointed to his nose.

"I have a brother who looks a bit like you, and when I see you, I think of him! What do you black people say, if you don't have a beautiful sister, it's not bad for someone who is willing to come and make friends with you, I don't have a beautiful sister......"

Filton laughed......

The two people here were saying this, and the other knights were all looking at it, no one expected that Zhang Tie would be able to chat so happily with the alien knights in the team so soon, and even the real person who held the mountain with his eyes closed opened his eyes and glanced at Zhang Tie again...... (To be continued......)
