When Zhang Tie woke up, it was already the next morning.
After waking up, Zhang Tie found himself lying on the bed in a luxurious bedroom covering over 100 square meters. Not until then did he realize that he should still be in the airboat of Lord Guangnan's Mansion.
Last night was the first time for Zhang Tie to drink so much in his life. Zhang Tie didn't even remember how much he had drunk. He only remembered that in the fervent atmosphere, he had a drinking competition with the other knights of Lord Guangnan's Mansion. After he knocked down the 5 knights of Lord Guangnan's Mansion, he also became dizzy. Closely after that, he was sent here by Bai Suxian.
After waking up, Zhang Tie checked his body and found nothing wrong with it. Additionally, his mind was pretty clear. Therefore, he became reassured. Meanwhile, he was shocked inside as he had not imagined that he could drink so much.
Although drinking would make trouble, honestly, after having such a big drink last night, Zhang Tie felt relaxed all over. All the tiredness that he had accumulated over the past few days and those bullsh * t things seemed to have disappeared. 'However, I still need to pay attention to not drink too much in the future. If I really got drunk, I might really make trouble. They said that I would feel uncomfortable after waking up; however, I don't feel that way. I don't know whether it's because the liquor of Lord Guangnan's Mansion is good or because I'm a knight or because I have a medium-level recovery body …'
As he thought about these things, Zhang Tie got up and washed himself. After that, he put on his clothes and opened the hatch door.
Two maids were standing outside the hatch door of Zhang Tie's bedroom. At the sight of Zhang Tie, the two maids hurriedly bowed towards him, "Fuma!"
As the two maids bowed towards him, they peeped at Zhang Tie out of curiosity. Yesterday, the entire airboat was talking about this princess fuma. It was said that this princess fuma was so powerful that even Meng Chao who had the greatest strength in the mansion couldn't defeat him. Not only that, the princess fuma also had a super capacity for liquor. At the banquet, he had knocked down five knights who had the best capacity for liquor in the mansion. After hearing such a rumor, the two maids thought that Zhang Tie was a tough man. Unimaginably, Zhang Tie was just a handsome teenager at his 17s, who was even younger than them.
Son-In-Law? Zhang Tie burst out into laughter. He had not imagined that his identity as the son-in-law of Lord Guangnan's Mansion had been fixed after he came to the airboat of Lord Guangnan's Mansion yesterday. The so-called son-in-law was the abbreviation of the commandant of the son-in-law of Lord Guangnan's Mansion. All the husbands of princesses and princesses in Taixia Country were collectively called son-in-law. However, the commandant of the son-in-law of Lord Guangnan's Mansion was one level higher than that of a princess. Zhang Tie didn't know whether it was ordered by Bai Suxian's 2nd uncle or these maids and servants themselves. No matter what, it would happen sooner or later.
After picking themselves up, the two maids peeped at Zhang Tie for a couple of seconds as they both blushed. If Princess really married Zhang Tie, as maids and maids in the lord's mansion, they would be Princess' dowry and Zhang Tie's subordinates in the future. In the future, they would definitely have to warm the bed and serve Princess. However, it was also their good fortune to meet such a prince consort.
"Prince Consort, do you want to use the Spirit Awakening Dew?" A maid gently asked.
"Spirit Awakening Dew? What's that?"
"The Spirit Awakening Dew is a special product of our Southern Border. It has the miraculous effect of sobering up. No matter how drunk you are, you can wake up with just a drop of the Spirit Awakening Dew. Last night, the princess ordered us to stay here. If anything happens, we can wake the prince consort up!" Another maid with almond-shaped eyes and rosy cheeks said crisply.
"Hoho, no need. Thanks for your hard work …"
"We dare not …" Zhang Tie replied politely. The two maids were so scared that they hurriedly replied politely.
When they were talking, Bai Suxian had walked towards them from the aisle. At the sight of Zhang Tie, her eyes had shone as she said, "Ahh, you're awake. I want to see you. My 2nd uncle has also just woken up. He wants to have breakfast with you …"
Yesterday, Bai Suxian's 2nd uncle was knocked down by Zhang Tie with liquor.
…
5 minutes later, Zhang Tie, Bai Suxian, Bai Suxian's 2nd uncle and the other knights were having breakfast in a tranquil and elegant room of the airboat where they had a feast yesterday.
All the items on the airboat of Lord Guangnan's Mansion were brought here together with the airboat. It was said that an airboat would deliver supplies here regularly in one month. Therefore, the breakfast in this airboat was pretty sumptuous.
Through yesterday's battle strength and drinking competition, Zhang Tie seemed to have become the son-in-law of Lord Guangnan's Mansion in the eyes of all the others on the airboat. After meeting Zhang Tie today, they all felt much closer to each other. Those knights were still a bit restrained yesterday; however, at breakfast this morning, those knights had been relaxed as they chatted about the affairs in the theater of operations and the South Border of Taixia Country as if they didn't treat Zhang Tie as an outsider.
"Oh, what's your weapon? After the physical strength competition yesterday, Meng Chao and the others are all curious about your weapon. If you don't have a suitable weapon, I could have people of Lord Guangnan's Mansion bring you some marvelous weapons that have been collected in Lord Guangnan's Mansion over these years!" Bai Runcheng, Bai Suxian's second uncle, who was sitting in the main seat, suddenly opened his mouth. "What's your weapon?
The moment Bai Runcheng opened his mouth, all the surrounding knights had fixated onto Zhang Tie.
After wiping his mouth with a napkin, Zhang Tie directly took out his Thor's Hammer.
The handle of Thor's Hammer was almost 2 m in length. The huge and grim hammer head was like an oil barrel. Additionally, the quaint and mysterious grains on the surface of Thor's Hammer and the flowing light that flashed across the pitch-black body of the hammer indicated that it was a precious silver secret item.
The moment Thor's Hammer was taken out, everybody became dumbfounded.
"How heavy is this hammer?" Bai Runcheng asked after observing it for a short while.
"6,800 kg!"
"Silver secret item?"
"Silver secret item!"
Holding Thor's Hammer weighing 6,800 kg by one hand, Zhang Tie felt like holding a straw. All the surrounding people were shocked by Zhang Tie's strength once again.
"Let me have a try …" Meng Chao, the silly guy who competed with Zhang Tie in strength yesterday, instantly jumped out of his seat and wanted to have a try. Zhang Tie didn't mind that at all. After standing up, he passed Thor's Hammer to Meng Chao.
After taking Thor's Hammer, Meng Chao revealed a solemn look at once. Although he could still hold it, he couldn't do it as easily as Zhang Tie. Only after waving it for a short while in the lobby, all the others had felt a strong wind blowing at their faces.
"Powerful, too powerful!" Meng Chao exclaimed, "But if I take this weapon to the battlefield, it's fine on the ground; however, it's too strenuous to fight in the air. Additionally, my movement speed will be affected. If I take this weapon to beat people, they don't need to fight me at close range. As long as they surround me and bombard me with their battle qi, they could kill me. Additionally, even if I fight at close range, I will feel strenuous in less than one hour and can't use it anymore …"
"Let me have a try …" As it was their first time to see such a heavy silver secret item, all the other earth knights couldn't wait to have a try. Like Meng Chao, although these earth knights could pick up and brandish the hammer, their movements were much jerkier than Meng Chao's.
After circling around their hands, even Bai Runcheng had a try, Thor's Hammer finally returned to Zhang Tie's hand and was easily teleported into his portable space-teleportation equipment.
"How do you feel about this hammer?" Bai Runcheng asked Zhang Tie.
"Previously, it was fine; now, I feel it's getting lighter and lighter. I'm not used to it." Zhang Tie told the truth.
If it was said by someone else, all the knights at present would spit saliva all over that person's face. However, it was said by Zhang Tie. Everybody at present believed that Zhang Tie was telling the truth. Given Zhang Tie's battle strength, they all felt that he was not bragging; instead, he really felt that Zhang Tie's battle strength was too light. Zhang Tie's battle strength was really too light.
Bai Runcheng shook his head with a bitter smile as he said, "After looking at your hammer, I realized that I was a bit overconfident just now. Among those immortal weapons in the collection of Lord Guangnan's Mansion, the heaviest and largest one is a silver secret item long spear which weighs 4,900 kg. None of them could match this hammer. You could use this heavy hammer, no wonder you could escape from Gao Tianzhao safe and sound …"
"Second uncle, do you know any place in Taixia Country where I could get heavier weapons than this?"
"Is there any requirement on the weight of the weapon?"
After thinking for a short while, Zhang Tie replied, "At least 10 tons, 20 tons, sabers, spears, hammers and swords are fine too!"
All the onlookers became speechless. Commoners' weapons were measured in kilograms; however, Zhang Tie's weapon was measured in tons. This Thor's Hammer was already terrifying enough in the eyes of the onlookers. As earth knights, they could barely imagine how it felt to be hit by this hammer in a battle. However, Zhang Tie was telling the truth. This Thor's Hammer was really too light for him. It couldn't fully exert the power of his kinetic strike in close combat. Given those fruits of redemption from the gratitude of golden uangs and his surging battle strength after promoting to a shadow knight, Zhang Tie's 10 tons was just a conservative estimation.
"It's very easy for you and me to make heavier weapons than this one. It's not difficult for us to make a weapon weighing dozens of tons with abyss iron, mithril and various alloys. What's difficult is that the weapon would be far less powerful than this silver secret item. Therefore, if you want a proper weapon, you have to choose a silver secret item. If you want a silver secret item, there are only two places, namely, Earth-elements Realm and Taiyi City. If you want to find a silver secret item in Earth-elements Realm, you might not find a silver secret item heavier than this heavy hammer in Earth-elements Realm for hundreds of years. Therefore, I'm afraid that only Taiyi City could have such a heavy hammer."
"Taiyi City?"
"Right, Taiyi City is the largest trading center for pearls of secret items among humans. There are numerous pearls of secret items in Taiyi City. Most of the pearls of secret items that major sects, major clans, independent knights, even overseas continents and subcontinents would collect and sell them in Taiyi City. I remember that a powerful heavy sword weighing 8,800 kg was found in a pearl of secret item in Taiyi City 140 years ago. Later on, this heavy sword was acquired by Taiyi Fantasy Sect and named as Taiyi Immortal Sword. It's an important weapon of Taiyi Fantasy Sect. It's kept and used by Xuanyuan Immortal, the head of Taiyi Fantasy Sect. The 4,900 kg long spear that Lord Guangnan's Mansion collected was also acquired from Taiyi City. On average, someone would discover something special in pearls of secret items in Taiyi City every 10 years or dozens of years. Now that such an important weapon could be found in Taiyi City, there might be more important silver secret items. However, if you want to gain a silver secret item in Taiyi City, you have to rely on your own power and luck …"
"Thanks, second uncle. In this case, I should try my luck in Taiyi City …" Zhang Tie replied with a smile.
"In Taiyi City, you always buy pearls of secret items by element crystals. You'd better have an advisor who's proficient in the study of secret items so as to increase your success rate. Lord Guangnan's Mansion has a store in Taiyi Fantasy City. If you have any inconvenience, you could take this plate to Guangnan Gourmet Store in Taiyi City. At the sight of this plate, the manager of the store would definitely try his best to help you!" Bai Runcheng said as he took out a crystal plate and had one person pass it to Zhang Tie.
On this occasion, Zhang Tie didn't refuse it pretentiously; instead, he took that plate generously. After taking a look at it, he teleported it into his space-teleportation equipment …
As for Zhang Tie, he didn't lack element crystals for some pearls of secret items. As for the study of secret items, it was absolutely a joke in his eyes. As for the others, the study of secret items might be useful; however, as for Zhang Tie, it was just a piece of sh * t which numerous knights were attracted by with his lotus-flower eyes.
"It's said that Taiyi City has not opened yet. The trade of pearls of secret items has already stopped!"
Bai Runcheng revealed a casual smile, "It's just temporary. The event of Xuanyuan Hill on the 15th shocked the world was just a gesture of Taiyi Fantasy Sect. It's similar to lowering the flag at half-mast. Every holy war would last 100-200 years. Taiyi Fantasy Sect earns a lot of profits from Taiyi City. Taiyi City is an important source of income for Taiyi Fantasy Sect, which has long aroused people's envy. After a few days, if Taiyi City still doesn't open, Xuanyuan Hill and the other sects might seize this opportunity to rob a piece of this business. I'm afraid that Taiyi City would reopen after the battle situation in the west stabilizes a bit …"
"Second uncle, do you think the battle situation in the west could be stabilized?"
"Of course, no matter how powerful demons are, they could never defeat Taixia Country in one round. Each holy war would last as long as 100 years. This time, it won't be short either. Now that the lords of Xuanyuan Hill are confident to curb this round of attack of demons in Helan Mountain Range and Weishui River, I'm sure that you didn't come up with such a plan. Additionally, I've got the news that something unusual was happening in the area occupied by demons these days. Demons have become more cunning …"
When Zhang Tie wanted to ask Bai Runcheng about what happened in the area occupied by demons, he suddenly received a message from his remote-sensing finger ring, which shocked Zhang Tie a bit.
"What's wrong?" Bai Suxian kept gazing at Zhang Tie. At the sight of Zhang Tie's look, she had known that something was wrong.
Zhang Tie threw a glance at Bai Suxian as he felt confused, "I've just received a message from Blackwater Base. Commander-in-chief Zuoqiu Mingyue wants to see me …"
"Commander-in-chief Zuoqiu wants to see you?" Bai Suxian became stunned too as she couldn't figure it out. Therefore, she just moved her eyes onto her second uncle.
Bai Runcheng watched Zhang Tie as he stroked his mustache and became silent for a short while. Closely after that, he revealed a smile, "It must be a good thing that the top three chancellors want to see you …"
