"Is that useful?" Watching the line of words left by Crell on the side of the corpse, Zhang Tie asked casually, "What do you think?"
"Eschyle City is not far from here. If something happens to this stronghold, the commercial firms and the city administrators would dispatch people here to know the situation. It's good to give them a warning!" As Crell said, he left the symbol of School of Patron at the bottom of that line of words. As for School of Patron, they abhorred the behavior of driving animal tide to destroy the natural law the most; especially that School of Patron suspected that it was related to demons.
Since the air routes in Waii Sub-continent were attacked by many birds of prey in the air last year, school of patron had been dispatching people to investigate this event. The result of the investigation pointed to a mysterious group of animal controllers. In the past year, with the efforts of many parties, some of the Beast Tamers of that mysterious group were killed like today, some successfully escaped and disappeared, and some moved to another place to stir up trouble again. However, no one was caught alive. Therefore, no one knew what the real situation was. However, based on these people's actions of harming others without benefiting themselves, no one would doubt that they were the lackeys and bastards of the Demon Race.
When Zhang Tie heard the words "Three-eye Association" from Crell, he sighed with emotions inside, 'These demon lackeys of Three-eye Association are really too greedy. They're really all-pervasive.' They could be seen everywhere from Huaiyuan Prefecture to Heavens Cold City and Ice and Snow Wilderness. As the holy war was about to break out, these people became more active.
Actually, Zhang Tie didn't care about the background of these people. No matter what, they were all b * stards. It was not a big deal for Zhang Tie to kill them. However, through this battle, Zhang Tie realized the importance of personal battle strength once again. As the world grew more chaotic, one's battle strength would increasingly determine one's life and death.
Take today's battle as an instance, if this guy was not a LV 10 but a LV 11 powerful battle master who excelled at sonic attacks, Zhang Tie might be killed by the first sonic attack of this guy. Similarly, if Zhang Tie was a bit more powerful, he would not have to take the risk of close combat. As long as he threw out his javelin, the battle would come to an end. Sometimes, life and death were so simple.
After thinking about it carefully, Zhang Tie felt that he was lucky to win this battle against Crell.
"Oh, where are you going next?" Zhang Tie asked Crell.
"There's still a tide of demon rats in the north of Ice and Snow Wilderness. I prepare to move northward, what about you?"
Zhang Tie had already eaten 9 seven-strength fruits of demon rats, it would be useless even if he killed more demon rats. After hearing that Crell was going northward, Zhang Tie thought about it carefully before saying, "I prepare to try my luck in the south of Ice and Snow Wilderness!"
"The relics and the Star of God?" Crell revealed a smile.
Zhang Tie also revealed a smile. Now that Crell had already thought that he was an elite disciple of a big clan in Norman Empire, it was unnecessary for him to explain too much. Haidela Glacier Crack was indeed in the south of Ice and Snow Wilderness. It might be very boisterous over there. However, according to Zhang Tie's knowledge, besides the relics and the Star of God, he was also interested in one thing on the vast wilderness where the Haidela Glacier Crack was located — — wild huge wolf.
"It's said that wild huge wolf tides are breaking out in some places in the south of Ice and Snow Wilderness. Why don't you take a look there?"
"I've already been there. The Great Wasteland Wolf Tide there is naturally formed. There are no signs of human manipulation. The Wilderness Protectors will not interfere with such a Beast Tide. Nature has its own way of dealing with it!
Zhang Tie shrugged. It seemed that they were going to separate ways, "Take care of yourself. If you encounter a powerhouse and have to escape, don't feel embarrassed!"
"Haha, it's not that dangerous. Ice and Snow Wilderness is the territory of bear tribe. Bear tribe has the strongest sense of territory. The powerhouses and priests of those powerful tribes in Ice and Snow Wilderness would not see others doing whatever they wanted in their territory. If someone is controlling the demon rats' tide, that guy might have been killed by the powerhouses here before I arrived in the north!" Crell said. "That guy is a smart guy!" Crell sighed and said, "That's not that dangerous!" "That's not that dangerous. Ice and Snow Wilderness is the territory of bear tribe.
"Why doesn't anyone care about the animal tides in Grey Hill?" Zhang Tie asked with a dubious look. To be honest, he didn't know Ice and Snow Wilderness well. Previously, his knowledge about this place was limited to some books. After coming here, he just focused on seven-strength fruits. He didn't have time and spiritual energy to care about those things that had nothing to do with him.
Crell revealed a smile, "This place is close to Eschyle City. It's the territory of iron bear clan. It's said that many powerhouses and priests of iron bear clan went to Elzida Mountain for pilgrimage a few days ago. They've not come back yet. Additionally, in the eyes of the ruler of iron bear clan, the animal tide of iron-teeth hyenas on this grey hill only caused some businesses and some villages in the wild a bit loss. Such a loss was not enough to arouse their attention. At this moment, they might pay more attention to the relics of Haidela Glacier Crack and the Star of God. Even though there was something wrong here, in the eyes of those people, it was just some animal controllers who caused some damage to Ice and Snow Wilderness. They could not cause any big trouble at all! Those merchants will take care of this matter themselves. "
Zhang Tie knew that Crell was telling the truth. This was the difference between a big figure and a small figure. What was big in the eyes of a small figure might be just a fart in the eyes of a big figure. Just like how several gold coins in the eyes of a poor man could never be equal in the eyes of a nouveau riche.
Both of them were very straightforward people. After deciding where they wanted to go, they didn't even say much and just separated at the Maple Leaf Castle, just like travelers in the same train getting off at the station when they arrived at the station.
Zhang Tie watched Crell leaving. After 10 steps, Crell turned around, "I forgot to tell you, if you really find a dog that could gnaw the bone of a sacred beast and want to take it back, you can find me. You can go to a church of patron which is presided by a priest and tell him that you want to find me. That priest will ask you about my personal emblem in the school of patron. You can tell him that my emblem is a locust."
Zhang Tie nodded as he suddenly remembered one thing, "Oh, you've not told me about the bone of a sacred beast!"
"Ha... ha... you will know it when you become an official animal controller!" Crell kept Zhang Tie guessing.
"Perhaps when I see you next time, my animal controlling skill might have already surpassed yours. I feel that I'm very talented in this. Only after cultivating those secret prayers that you taught me for one night, I feel that I could already control a low-level pet!" Zhang Tie said in a half-true and half-false way. He was also making a foreshadowing in advance.
"That's impossible. When I first met you, I knew that you had never used animal-taming skills before, nor did you have any pets. Even if you have the Nature's Heart, it's too late for you to learn animal-taming skills at your age. It's hard for you to reach the highest level of animal-taming skills!"
"Perhaps I'm an exception!"
"Unless you're the precious nephew of Gaya, the mother of land or the reincarnation of the legendary beast deity!" Crell burst out into laughter as he waved his hand towards Zhang Tie. Before Zhang Tie said anything, he had already left.
Standing on the hillside, Zhang Tie watched Crell and that huge black eagle disappearing in the sky. After that, he revealed a smile as he slightly shook his head and muttered, "You've missed a possibility!"
Zhang Tie turned around. After identifying the direction, he ran towards southwest.
...
Zhang Tie knew that someone from Eschyle City would come here to investigate the situation after he and Crell left. However, Zhang Tie had not imagined that someone from Eschyle City could arrive here so fast. Only 2 hours after he left here, someone from Eschyle City had already arrived.
The two people from Eschyle City were not common bear-killing fighters or powerhouses dispatched by business groups and trading companies; instead, they were two fearsome wild bounty hunters with powerful qi all over.
After circling around the Maple Leaf Castle for a while, the two bounty hunters returned to the suspension platform where Zhang Tie and Crell killed the animal controller and tied him up. Reading the line of words left by Crell, the two bounty hunters frowned at the same time.
"Could it be that the people of the Patron School are also involved with that guy?" A tall and sturdy man opened his mouth first, "I've not imagined that the animal tide in Grey Hill is really driven by someone. We have to report it to Eschyle City right away!"
"Don't worry, the airship of the Chamber of Commerce in Eschyle City will soon arrive here. They will bring back this message. How dare some clowns stir up trouble in Ice and Snow Wilderness, humph..." another bounty hunter in a grim metal mask uttered a cold and solemn voice. Evidently, the owner of this voice belonged to a woman. Raising her face, she stood still for a short while with the grim metal mask in front of the sunlight. It seemed that she was identifying something.
"I feel that the two people have already separated here. That guy of school of patron went north while that b * stard called Peter went southwest. Our task is to bring back the head of that b * stard called Peter. By the way, we could get the reward of 5000 gold coins. With 5000 gold coins, we could buy a lot of things in the tribe. This winter might not be that tough. We've not encountered such a good deal for a long time!"
"O'Laura, don't you feel it strange? Since we were ordered to chase after that guy, based on the message that we got from Kurgan village and those guys who escaped out of the Maple Leaf Castle, that guy called Peter doesn't seem to be that bad. Perhaps there's something wrong with the new wanted order issued by the police station in Eschyle City?"
"There are only two kinds of men, one is to die at the moment, the other is to die very soon. How do you know that that guy is not disguising himself in front of those guys in Kurgan village and those guys we met just now? We've met too many such treacherous guys over these years..." A sneer drifted from the metal mask. "The wanted order issued by the police station in Eschyle City might be wrong; however, the corpses of the two bounty hunters who had been torn apart and brutally killed are not wrong. After receiving the message, the two bounty hunters came here to arrest that b * stard called Peter. Now that they're dead, shouldn't that b * stard be responsible for it? If not for this, why would the police station send us here? The dignity of Eschyle City and bear clan was never won through a battle of words. Even if that guy is not the murderer, the two bounty hunters' deaths are caused by him. Based on this point, he deserves to die! "
"But the dignity of the Bear Clan doesn't come from killing the innocent!" The burly man seemed to want to try again.
"Setton, if you want to go back to Eschyle City to apply for changing the arrest warrant and investigate the cause of death of the previous two wild bounty hunters, you can go back. I can deal with it alone! Unless you put a new wanted order in front of me, I will definitely bring that guy's head back! " After saying that icily, the female in mask rushed towards the direction where Zhang Tie left without even throwing a glance at the man called Setton. Her speed was not slower than that of Zhang Tie.
The man called Setton glanced at that figure with a worried look. Finally, he let out a sigh helplessly and followed after her.
...
Zhang Tie ran very fast. When it was dark, Zhang Tie had already been over 400 km away from the Maple Leaf Castle even though there was no road in most of the places. After finding a mountain cave where he could spend the night in the wild, Zhang Tie returned to Castle of Black Iron which he had not seen for a long time.
...
Translator: WQL Editor: Aleem Standing on the small tree in Castle of Black Iron and watching the 7 iron-teeth hyenas seven-strength fruits, Zhang Tie suddenly felt that leaving Huaiyuan Palace might be the wisest decision in his life.
Besides the seven seven-strength fruits of iron-teeth hyenas, there were two more fruits which made Zhang Tie smile so much that he could not even close his mouth. One was the fruit of brilliance, the other was the long-awaited fruit of judgment...
— — Fruit of judgment. It's already ripe. This fruit of judgment contains a god's rune with rune effect — — "hiding". Usage: After picking it, paste it on your forehead. After plucking it and sticking it between his eyebrows, he could activate and fuse it with his spiritual energy. Notice: The fruit could not be taken out of Castle of Black Iron. This fruit could only be activated and integrated by Castle Lord. After 12 hours of picking, the energy and vitality of the fruit would gradually decline.
