Garby City, the capital city of Sterland Republic, was a well-known magnificent city on the Western Continent. This magnificent city was even known as the Golden City on the Western Continent. The glory of the entire Sterland Republic seemed to gather in this city.
The black limousine was running on the broad road. The two flags of Sacred Light Empire on the front of the limousine made this limousine look much wilder on the road.
At the same time, Zhang Tie watched the scenery outside the limousine through the dark monocular glass. Being stimulated by the special liquid, many old memories became vivid at once. At this moment, Blackhot City, Kalur and Blapei seemed to be broken into pieces in Zhang Tie's memory and turned into those building materials on the streets outside. Zhang Tie felt cordial and strange, vivid and solemn …
There were so many vehicles on the road outside, including steam vehicles and fiery-oil vehicles. Almost 1/3 of them were fiery-oil vehicles. Many vehicles were hanging small flags of countries on the Western Continent on the front of the limousine.
There were also many military vehicles and soldiers. There were some military camps outside the city. At some crossroads, Zhang Tie could see military policemen of allied human forces in white armbands watching those common military vehicles and soldiers of countries. Armored vehicles even parked at many crossroads on the roadside.
Perhaps it was because so many big shots were gathered in this city, the order on the street was very good. Although soldiers in various military uniforms and many ordinary people living here were mixed together, there was no chaos. In the shops, bars, and even the entrances of the hotels, one could see the shadows of soldiers from various countries. Beside several armored vehicles, there was also a group of little boys happily running around the armored vehicles.
"Garby City has the largest high-quality rock gold mine which could rank top 10 across the Western Continent. Since the Catastrophe, the underground rock gold mine of Garby City has been exploited for over 900 years. However, it's still not fully exploited. Being different than the rock gold mines in other places, the underground rock gold mine of Garby City is also rich in associated ores such as silver, copper, lead and zinc. The constant mineral resources support the prosperity of Garby City and the entire Sterland Republic. The income of Garby City alone accounts for half of the entire financial income of Sterland Republic. Many countries in the surrounding countries even ridicule that Sterland Republic only has one city!"
Watching Zhang Tie watching the streetscape outside the window with interest, Bordili the mace muling who was sipping the fine liquor in his glass opened his mouth. Only small figures could observe people's words and expressions.
"A small country has a huge rock gold mine which could be called a cornucopia. I wonder how did Sterland Republic survive these years?" Zhang Tie turned around and asked Bordili instead of pretending to be profound or disdainful.
He controlled Ockham by the baptism of deity; Ockham controlled Bordili by the baptism of deity. This was the relationship between Zhang Tie and Bordili, the mace muling of Sacred Light Empire.
Zhang Tie knew the relationship between Bordili and Ockham; however, Bordili didn't know the relationship between Zhang Tie and Ockham; neither did he know Zhang Tie's identity. Ockham's arrangement was that Bordili should follow Zhang Tie's arrangement after they met.
All the information between them was one-way transparent to Zhang Tie. Bordili was just a prop and a supporting role.
Zhang Tie knew that Bordili must be very curious about his identity. However, now that Ockham didn't tell him about it, Bordili didn't ask him about it; instead, Bordili wanted to judge Zhang Tie's identity and purpose through communication. As a knight who could be a mace muling in Sacred Light Empire, of course, Bordili was not an idiot. He had his own wisdom and ways of survival.
"In the beginning, some neighboring countries and forces indeed wanted to annex Sterland Republic; especially the emperor of Aoto Empire who wanted to occupy Garby City all the time. However, Rhesa Republic was on the firm back of Sterland Republic. Therefore, the emperor of Aoto Empire didn't succeed. Finally, Sterland Republic drew in Golden Roc Bank to mine the gold mines below Garby City together with Golden Roc Bank. Golden Roc Bank used a large part of the gold coins and earnings that they gained from Sterland Republic as long-term low-interest loans and investments to Aoto Empire and Rhesa Republic. Therefore, Sterland Republic survived and turned Garby City into a golden city …"
"I see!" Zhang Tie nodded as he felt that Golden Roc Bank's means were really admirable.
"Over the past hundreds of years, the entire underground space of 15000 m in Garby City has almost been excavated. In the process of exploiting those rock gold ores, we discovered the underground karst space where the tower of time is located under Garby City!" Bordili said as he stood up and made a glass of spirit for Zhang Tie, "That karst space is known as the Crown of Gold. There are four towers of time inside, the most precious one could allow people to cultivate for 20 years inside; the second best one could allow people to cultivate for 10 years inside; the other two could allow people to cultivate for 5 years inside. All the towers of time that have been discovered across the Western Continent have been taken over by the High Command of the allied human forces on the Western Continent 20 years ago. Of course, the so-called taking over is only applicable to those small countries, small forces and ordinary clans. Although the towers of time in the territories of forces such as Rhesa Republic or Barbarian Federation are nominally taken over by the High Command of the allied human forces and distributed according to meritorious deeds, they are actually used by knights of Rhesa Republic and Barbarian Federation. So is the tower of time in Sacred Light Empire!"
Zhang Tie continued to drink as he hinted Bordili to continue. As a cannon fodder, of course, Fred was not qualified to use the tower of time. If he wanted to use the tower of time this time, of course, he could only use the tower of time in a roundabout way. Of course, there was another method — — Zhang Tie directly disguised as Bordili. However, if he disguised as another knight, as knights couldn't read souls, as long as he contacted people on his side, he would probably be exposed. Additionally, knights were too eye-catching and would attract more attention. Therefore, his current identity was far more suitable than this one.
"A few months ago, I killed a knight of Sacred Alliance Empire in Fengzi City by luck. Plus my previous meritorious deeds and the efforts of the two halos major pastors, I was qualified to cultivate in Golden Crown. However, I could only cultivate in a tower of time for 5 years. I could only form about 20 scales in 5 years. It's my great honor to solve problems for Lord Ockham!" Bordili started to ask about Zhang Tie's identity, "How do I call you, Your Excellency?"
"You can just call me Fred!" Zhang Tie replied with a smile, "Don't worry. I can assure you that your compensation will far exceed your contribution this time. You will not regret it. Actually, it's a good job that Ockham has found for you!"
After hearing Zhang Tie calling Ockham's name without any respect, Bordili's heart raced slightly. At this moment, he couldn't figure out the relationship between Ockham and Zhang Tie at all.
"I only hope that everything goes well and won't let Lord Ockham down!" Bordili said meticulously.
"Oh, when do they arrange for you to enter the Crown of Gold?"
"August 12!"
"That means there are still 8 days left!"
"Right, the cooling period of that tower of time is August 11. It could be activated on August 12. We only need to stay in Garby City for a few more days. By then, you will enter the Crown of Gold with me as my personal servant. After that, you will enter the tower of time!"
"By then, if someone finds that it's me who enters the tower of time instead of you, will there be any problem for you outside the tower of time?"
"Don't worry, Your Excellency, only the users of the tower of time and one or two squires could enter the Golden Crown each time. When the two of us enter, nobody else would enter the Golden Crown. The other three towers of time are still in the cooling period. Even if someone knows that, it doesn't matter. Because I have the usufruct of the tower of time. Those knights who have the usufruct of the tower of time would even auction or transfer their usufruct through some channels so as to gain other items that they need such as element crystals or secret items. It's nothing strange!"
"Fine, wish us a smooth cooperation in advance …" Zhang Tie said as he raised his glass.
Bordili also raised his glass.
After clinking their glasses, they bottomed up the liquid in the glass.
…
After a short while, the black limousine had parked outside a super 5-star luxury hotel called Moonlight Hotel in Garby City.
The moment the limousine parked, Zhang Tie had gotten off the vehicle. Closely after that, he walked to the side of Bordili's car and opened the door for Bordili.
This luxury hotel in the downtown of Garby City had already become the residence of some senior personnel of Sacred Light Empire in Garby City. All the staff including guards, cooks, waiters, gardeners and handymen were dispatched here from Sacred Light Empire. Bordili lived here these days. It was said that Sacred Light Empire chose this hotel because its name suited Sacred Light Empire very much.
Ockham and another holy light chief priest were also in Garby City at this moment. However, they didn't live in this hotel; instead, they lived in a luxurious residence built by Sterland Republic for those knights above earth level who gathered in Garby City. Of course, the residence of shadow knights was more luxurious and safer …
