Castle of Black Iron was the last refuge that Zhang Tie prepared for his family members and friends. It was also Zhang Tie's harbor for rest!
This time, Zhang Tie woke up after 4 days' sleep.
Deep sleep was the best way for Zhang Tie to recover. In deep sleep, Zhang Tie's wounds and vitality could recover at the fastest speed. Plus a vial of senior recovery medicament that Heller fed into Zhang Tie's mouth, when Zhang Tie woke up 4 days later, his wounds and vitality that he had consumed in the fight with Han Zhengfang had already completely recovered.
After waking up, Zhang Tie didn't feel excited; instead, he felt completely relaxed which he had not experienced for a long time.
Lying on the big bed in his room in Castle of Black Iron, Zhang Tie felt like returning to the past. At that time, before the holy war broke out, life in Blackhot City was tranquil. Each weekend, his mom would always let him have a lie-in in his attic. He was not allowed to get up too early. Therefore, Zhang Tie was used to staying in bed on Saturdays and Sundays.
In winter, he would be lazy and warm in the quilt; in summer, the warm eye light would shine onto his buttocks through the window of the attic. Zhang Tie would always sleep until he smelt the aroma of his mom's breakfast and felt his belly rumbling or he couldn't hold his pee anymore. Until he hurriedly got up and ate his mom's breakfast or went to the washroom …
Zhang Tie knew what happiness was when he thought about the previous plain life.
After killing Han Zhengfang, the biggest enemy of Huaiyuan Palace and himself, Zhang Tie became relaxed at once. What was more, after experiencing this process, Zhang Tie completed a difficult growth once again.
Han Zhengfang was the first shadow knight that Zhang Tie had killed! It was a milestone for Zhang Tie to kill a shadow knight. The whole process of killing Han Zhengfang was not only about fighting and improving his perception on the battlefield, but also about his intelligence, insight, ability and means. After this baptism and transformation, the sapling was growing into an unshakable towering tree.
From the beginning to the end, Zhang Tie carried out this event alone. All the results reached Zhang Tie's expectation — — one of the top 9 chancellors of Taixia Country was killed; the identity of the master of Heavens Reaching Church in Xuanyuan Hill was exposed; Han Clan was exterminated; the master of the royal prince became a saber in Zhang Tie's hand; the Gobbling Party was involved in the confrontation with Heavens Reaching Church; the pattern of Taixia Country and Xuanyuan Hill would change greatly. No matter what, Zhang Tie had achieved all this by himself. Although it might be a bit lucky, it was already a great means.
After lying on the bed for a short while and recalling the happy and tranquil moments, Zhang Tie felt a bit hungry. Smacking his lips, Zhang Tie got up and came to the side of the window.
Zhang Tie's room was in the highest place of the palace tree. From the windows, he could easily see the entire immortal mountain and the human settlements in the distance.
It was still a bit dark in the sky above Castle of Black Iron. In the east of Castle of Black Iron, the dim colorful clouds had revealed a brilliant glow. As there was no sun in Castle of Black Iron, this glow in the east represented the morning of Castle of Black Iron. It also indicated that it was the beginning of a new day in Taixia Country.
Some wisps of smoke rose from the horizon in the distance and slowly drifted into the air, bringing a special vitality to the entire Castle of Black Iron. It indicated that people living in Castle of Black Iron started their daily lives.
Under the smoke, it was a village being surrounded by hills and woods. On the plain near the village, a lot of tidy fields had been reclaimed. People had built crisscrossing canals along the riverside so as to bring sufficient irrigation and water to those fields.
With lotus-flower eyes, Zhang Tie could even see some kids running and frolicking on the ridges of the fields in the early morning. Under the guidance of some elders, many teenagers were exercising various battle skills and battle skills meticulously on the squares in the middle of the villages. These secret cultivation methods of battle skills and battle skills were distributed by Zhang Tie himself. In Zhang Tie's eyes, these teenagers, including their instructors, were practicing these battle skills and battle skills very crudely. However, they were pretty good for commoners.
Although Zhang Tie couldn't enjoy such a blissful tranquility anymore, he could share this blissful tranquility to others. Watching others enjoying this blissful tranquility, Zhang Tie became tranquil inside as he felt an inexplicable comfort.
When the day broke, the bells of the hieron started to reverberate in this village. After hearing this bell, all the people, male, female, old or young, including those frolicking kids and those teenagers who had just finished their exercises and were taking a rest, rapidly converged towards the hieron and the square on one side of the hieron.
Some people in white robes walked out of the hieron and were carrying out a very religious rite. After that, those people in white robes knelt down on the ground under the leadership of those people in the hieron and the square. Facing the hieron, they put their palms together and started to pray piously and loudly.
Of course, it was the statue of Zhang Tie, the "deity" in the hieron …
At the sight of this, Zhang Tie touched his nose as he revealed a self-mocking smile. Closely after that, he moved his eyes away.
Heller and the other elders had already taken off his Chaos; however, they didn't take off his clothes. There were still some blood stains on his clothes when he fought Han Zhengfang. Heller and the other elders knew Zhang Tie's habit. Because Zhang Tie felt awkward to have some old men take off his clothes and change his clothes for him, Zhang Tie had been wearing the same set of clothes since he came to Castle of Black Iron these days.
Without a woman to take care of him, it was indeed inconvenient. However, Zhang Tie refused Heller's suggestion. Because Zhang Tie felt that it would be more troublesome for those people to send women to the Immortal Mountain. After thinking about it for a while, Zhang Tie could only do it himself.
Zhang Tie then took off his clothes and took a bath. After being refreshed, he put on a set of clean clothes.
After doing all this, Zhang Tie felt pretty good at once when he saw that comely teenager who had recovered his original look in the mirror. He made a grimace towards the mirror before walking out of the room.
Heller, Edward, Agan and Aziz had long been waiting for Zhang Tie outside the door respectfully.
At the sight of Zhang Tie, the four people revealed a smile at the same time. Heller's smile was still implicit, elegant, sincere and full of noble demeanor. Zhang Tie felt that any expression and movement of Heller's face could be recorded as a training material for imperial etiquette. Edward, Aziz and Aziz even had tears in their eyes as they looked pretty thrilled.
"What's wrong?" Zhang Tie asked Agan in front of him.
"We're so happy to see you wake up, Castle Lord. Heller told us that Castle Lord has killed a lot of powerful enemies and brought a lot of changes to Castle of Black Iron. However, you almost couldn't come back …" Agan said as he wiped off his tears. Edward and Aziz on his side nodded forcefully at the same time.
Watching Agan, Aziz and Aziz's sincere feelings, Zhang Tie felt a bit warm and moved inside. 'I remember that Heller told me that I would have a surprise in Castle of Black Iron. Did I really get some good items from Han Zhouli and Han Zhouli?' Zhang Tie muttered inside. However, he didn't ask Heller about it right away; instead, he told Agan, Aziz and Aziz mildly, "Well, don't cry. Although I encountered a bit danger this time, I'm afraid that I would not encounter the same thing in the future. Therefore, you don't need to worry about me. Oh, I've not tasted your food for a long time. I might eat a lot for breakfast today!"
"I've already prepared breakfast for Castle Lord. They're all your favorites!" Edward opened his mouth.
"Thanks for your hard work!" Zhang Tie threw a deep glance at Edward. Edward's presence in Castle of Black Iron indeed helped Zhang Tie a lot.
"It's my honor!" Edward slightly bowed towards Zhang Tie.
After that, Zhang Tie followed Edward to the dining hall of the palace tree.
After not eating for a few days, Zhang Tie had consumed a lot of energy. Therefore, he was really hungry. He was in urgent need of some food. No matter how good the medicament was, it couldn't replace the effect of food.
In the dining hall of Castle of Black Iron, the long dining table was covered with snow-white tablecloth, which was covered with delicate tableware and various foods — — barbecued meat of huge deep-sea monsters, honey steaks, cheeses, sausages, honey tea, various breads, nuts, dozens of fruits and juices and two kinds of self-brewed spirits. All of them were enough for 10 tough men. However, they were all prepared for Zhang Tie alone. How luxurious it was!
Heller was standing one step behind Zhang Tie as he directed Edward, Aziz and Aziz to circle around Zhang Tie.
It took Zhang Tie one hour to finish his breakfast. When he finished his breakfast, there were still more than half of the food on the table. Seeing Zhang Tie wiping his mouth corners with a napkin, Heller clapped his hands and walked in like a well-behaved man.
After coming to the front of Zhang Tie, that person knelt down at once and kowtowed three times towards Zhang Tie, saying, "Master!"
