The lobby of the palace tree was almost as large as a football field. Due to sparse population, it looked a bit tranquil at first sight. However, as Zhang Tie's most secret lair and refuge, such a spacious tranquility made Zhang Tie feel reassured and tranquil.
It was absolutely Zhang Tie's private space. Perhaps each man would like to have such a place where he could do whatever he wanted. Here, he didn't need to disguise, be afraid, care about others' eyesight and gossips. He didn't need to cover himself in a thick armor. Here, it could be his base, a harbor for him to relax or a playground for him. Additionally, there would never be any annoying person here. Even if there was, such a guy might stay in the dungeon. Unless Zhang Tie wanted him to come out, he would never show up in front of Zhang Tie.
Heller's smile was as modest and polite as ever. He wore a black tuxedo, a white shirt, and a golden bow tie. Coupled with his shiny leather shoes and his appearance that was comparable to that of the Sun God, his entire appearance was impeccable.
At the sight of Heller, Zhang Tie felt like seeing a long-lost friend and partner. He couldn't treat Heller as an "intelligent being" at all. Therefore, Zhang Tie couldn't stand giving Heller a deep hug as he patted Heller's back forcefully.
"Thanks for your hard work. It's really nice to come back!"
Heller was not used to Zhang Tie's passion. When he was hugged by Zhang Tie, he became a bit stiff all over. Not until Zhang Tie let go of him did Heller recover his composure. "Castle Lord, the last time you came back to Castle of Black Iron was before you went to the south border. It's been 120 days since Castle Lord entered Castle of Black Iron …"
"Ahh, so long?" Zhang Tie became slightly stunned as he had not imagined that Heller could remember it so clearly.
"It indicates that Castle Lord is growing more and more powerful. As a result, you need Castle of Black Iron less and less!" Heller said with a smile.
"Haha, I've not forgotten about you. I've not eaten enough fruits on the small tree!" Zhang Tie burst out into laughter.
"Speaking of fruits, Castle Lord, it seems that you've forgotten about one item in Castle of Black Iron which might help Castle Lord this time!"
"What's that?"
"Castle Lord, have you forgotten the fiery lotus in the magma lake in the underground karst cave of Castle of Black Iron?"
Patting his head, Zhang Tie became enlightened, "If you didn't remind me, I almost forgot that the seeds of fiery lotus could constantly strengthen my lotus-flower eyes! Is the new batch of Blazing Flame Lotus ready? "
Heller couldn't stand letting out a sigh, "Castle Lord, it seems that you've really forgotten about the new batch of fiery lotus seeds. However, there's one more important thing which could come in handy …"
"What else did I forget?"
"The roots of the Fiery Lotus!"
Zhang Tie widely opened his eyes at once as he couldn't help patting his head once again. He finally remembered that Heller had told him that only earth knights who had formed their earth chakra could digest and absorb the effects of the roots of fiery lotus. After taking it, earth knights could improve their resistance to high temperature and lava to an unimaginable level. Additionally, earth knights' protective battle qi could be upgraded with a bit more flame power. As a result, they could inflict damage to the enemy in defense instead of passive defense.
If Zhang Tie remembered it right, Heller might have told him the same thing.
"When Castle Lord promoted to an earth knight in the Earth-elements Realm, there were not enough fiery lotus roots in Castle of Black Iron. Therefore, Castle Lord didn't take them. Over these years, a lot of fiery lotus roots have been accumulated in Castle of Black Iron. I thought Castle Lord had no time to take them for the time being as busy as you could. Therefore, I didn't remind you about it. It turns out that Castle Lord really forgot about it …"
"Heller, thank you. If you didn't remind me, I would have forgotten about it!" Zhang Tie couldn't stand patting Heller's shoulder once again, "If the roots of fiery lotus could greatly improve my resistance to high temperature and flames, I would have one more trump card when facing Taiyi Old Man of Taiyi Fantasy Sect …"
"Castle Lord, do you want to take a look in the underground karst cave?"
"Fine!"
When Zhang Tie and Heller entered the underground tunnel leading to the foot of the Immortal Mountain, Zhang Tie threw a glance at the small tree.
The small tree didn't let Zhang Tie down. At first glance, Zhang Tie saw over 100 fruits of redemption from the gratitude of golden uangs and a lot of fruits of redemption from the gratitude of gulf shrimps and hairy shellfish. It seemed that Paul and the release team were still working hard.
When Zhang Tie came back a couple of days ago, he contacted Paul by remote-sensing communications finger ring. Paul was in Huizhou Province, Taixia Country and couldn't come back to see Zhang Tie right away. When they contacted each other, Paul told Zhang Tie that he was preparing a big action.
Zhang Tie felt pretty good when he thought that he could improve his battle force by one level after taking those fruits, not to mention the roots of fiery lotus. Even his footsteps became lighter.
After a few minutes, Zhang Tie and Heller came to the karst cave at the foot of the Immortal Mountain again.
Compared to last time, this karst cave was many times larger than last time. The entire karst cave was fiery red while the scorching magma in the magma lake was slowly flowing.
The temperature in the karst cave was extremely high, more than 60 degrees Celsius, and there was a slight smell of sulfur in the air. However, in such a high temperature and sulfuric air, a strange fragrance floated in the karst cave. It was agile and elegant, like a clear spring in the desert. Just a sniff of it was enough to lift one's spirit.
The entire magma lake was covered with dense fiery lotus flowers. At first glance, Zhang Tie found that the magma lake was covered with golden light. Like a mythical world, fiery lotus flowers were everywhere. The leaves of fiery lotus flowers connected with the sky and the earth. Even Zhang Tie didn't know how many fiery lotus flowers were planted here.
Fiery lotus flowers which were extremely precious in the outside world could be mass-produced in Castle of Black Iron!
At the sight of such a scene, Zhang Tie even felt a bit dizzy.
Who would believe that Zhang Tie had planted so many fiery lotus flowers which were extremely precious for others? However, Zhang Tie was worrying about what excuse to take them out.
"How many fiery lotus roots are there?" Zhang Tie swallowed his saliva as he asked Heller …
