Castle of Black Iron had already gained a brand new seed of Buckthorn tree!
This was almost the best news that Zhang Tie had heard during this period.
"What's the difference between the new Seabuckthorn seed and the former one?" Zhang Tie asked Heller in his mind.
"The new Seabuckthorn seed's adaptability to the environment is 27 times higher than that of the former common Seabuckthorn seed. It has a stronger viability and could live in colder and drier regions. The new Seabuckthorn seed could even survive in some regions that the former Seabuckthorn seed could not survive in."
"Besides, the new Seabuckthorn seed's ability to fertilize the soil is also 12 times higher. The soil planted with this new Seabuckthorn seed will have a higher activity. This is the effect of the new Seabuckthorn seed on environmental adaptation and improvement. As it's a wholly new species, this new Seabuckthorn seed is different from that of the former one. The new Seabuckthorn seed's fruit is 15-20 times larger than that of the former one. Additionally, it tastes better. The output of a Seabuckthorn seed is 814 times higher than that of the former one. What's more, the new Seabuckthorn seed's fruit and leaves contain a small amount of aura! "
"The new Seabuckthorn seed's fruit and leaves contain a small amount of aura?" Zhang Tie became a bit amazed.
"That's right. The Aura Value in the fruits and leaves of the original Seabuckthorn Tree is very low, almost negligible. However, the Aura Value in the fruits and leaves of the new Seabuckthorn Tree is more than 300 times higher than the original!"
"How long will it take for Castle of Black Iron to provide me with this new Seabuckthorn seed in large quantities?"
"At least 1 month. Castle of Black Iron could provide you with about 15 kg of new Seabuckthorn seed. From then on, this quantity could be maintained each month!"
"As the space utilization of Castle of Black Iron has reached the extreme, there's not much idle land on the earth's surface. If Castle of Black Iron wants to provide me with this new Seabuckthorn seed on a large scale, I have to expand the land area of Castle of Black Iron, which requires a huge amount of basic energy storage!"
Zhang Tie had not imagined that the problem would come back to this point. This problem was really annoying. As for such a huge thing as Castle of Black Iron, it seemed that it could not be digested no matter how much energy was put into it. Zhang Tie had no idea how to solve this problem.
"Do you have any good suggestions to solve this problem?"
"Unless Castle Lord returns to the ocean, there's no better solution to increase the basic energy storage of Castle of Black Iron!"
"Is this the only way for me to rapidly increase the basic energy storage of Castle of Black Iron?"
"It depends on your ability, Castle Lord. If you could lift a mountain, just throw it into the Pool of Chaos. Don't worry that it couldn't digest it!"
Forget it, I'll just pretend I didn't ask. I'm already very happy to be able to get new Buckthorn seeds this time. Food has to be eaten one bite at a time. I still have a lot of problems to solve.
Zhang Tie thought as he gradually recovered his composure.
"By the way, what's the name of the new Buckthorn seed?"
"Castle Lord, please name it!"
"Now that this new Buckthorn has appeared for the first time in this age, let's call it black iron Buckthorn as a souvenir."
"Alright!"
After communicating with Heller, Zhang Tie sat in the cabin for a short while and started to think about the problem in front of him.
He could put aside other problems for the time being; however, the bone-exploding needles were like maggots in tarsal bones. He had to get rid of them. It seemed that there were two ways to solve the bone-exploding needles.
'First, I need to find a chance to escape. As long as I leave the grey eagle tribe and enter Castle of Black Iron in a remote place, I will be able to solve this threat in a few days. Although this method looks cool, there's one problem — — as long as the elder of the grey eagle tribe sensed the disappearance of the bone-exploding needles on my body, the secret of Castle of Black Iron would be exposed. Once this secret is exposed, I have to consider whether there will be greater troubles and whether I can continue to improve my fighting strength in Ice and Snow Wilderness. 'Zhang Tie thought to himself.
Besides, the second way was to continue to stay here and consume the energy of the bone-exploding needles. Even if it was launched by others, it would not threaten his safety. After that, he could use the bone-exploding needles in his body as a cover. After getting the 9 Huge-Wolf Seven-Strength Fruits, he would leave Ice and Snow Wilderness and return to Blackhot City as fast as possible.
The advantage of the second way was evident; however, there was a problem. Zhang Tie's identity in the grey eagle tribe was a bit embarrassing. He might not feel comfortable here these days. Additionally, his movements were restricted. Therefore, he needed to make a good plan.
Frowning, Zhang Tie was racking his brains. Closely after that, he caught sight of that young man who was monitoring him outside the door faithfully. Zhang Tie then revealed a smile. As he was in the dark, he had to figure out the situation here first.
After getting off the bed, Zhang Tie walked over there and opened the door. The moment the door was opened, the young man turned around at once with a vigilant look. At the same time, he put his hand on the handle of his saber at his waist.
"You can't leave here. Go back!" the young man told Zhang Tie with a cold look.
"Don't be so nervous. I just opened the door to breathe some fresh air. It's a bit stuffy inside!" Zhang Tie replied as he returned to the room.
Seeing Zhang Tie returning to the room, the young man moved his hand away from the handle of his saber.
After finding a stool in the room, Zhang Tie sat down facing the door with a smile. He then put his hand into his pocket and took out two gold coins from Castle of Black Iron.
Zhang Tie played with the two gold coins. Only after the two gold coins hit each other for a few times, the young man at the door turned around once again. At the sight of the two gold coins in Zhang Tie's hands, his eyes instantly glittered as he forcefully swallowed his saliva.
According to Crell's words — — the charm of gold coins could even make demons willing to be donkeys that push the mill. Even demons couldn't resist the temptation of gold coins, not to mention mortals. Perhaps some people really didn't like money, but they were very few. At least this young man in front of Zhang Tie seemed to be a member of the common people. He didn't have a high ideological consciousness to regard money as dirt.
"I'm really bored here. I want to find someone to chat with. If you can chat with me, I will give you one of the two gold coins. What do you think?" Zhang Tie directly tempted her in an explicit way.
"Don't think that I will let you go!" The young man was very vigilant. Although he couldn't move his eyes away from Zhang Tie since he saw the two gold coins in Zhang Tie's hand, he was still clear-minded.
"What are you thinking about? How could I escape? I just want to talk with you. I will never step out of this door!"
"Neither do you think that I will expose the secret of the grey eagle tribe!" The young man shook his head once again.
"You're wrong. I'm not a spy. You don't need to tell me any secret. You just need to talk with me about what each of you knows here. Look, I'm actually not dangerous. I'm not a saboteur. Otherwise, Setton would not trust me to keep the gold coins with me until now. Am I right?" Zhang Tie revealed a harmless smile.
"What you said … is it true? I can get one gold coin only by chatting with you casually... "The young man became excited at once.
"Of course, O'Laura is really unfortunate. She lost her parents 20 years ago. If not Setton and Elder Merkel, I don't know how she could survive so many scheming guys over these years!" Zhang Tie sighed as if he knew about the situation of the grey eagle tribe very well, "Look, I really just want to chat with someone casually!"
Zhang Tie's words completely dispelled the young man's last concern. In the next half an hour, the young man almost told Zhang Tie everything that Zhang Tie wanted to know. As a result, the situation and details of the entire grey eagle tribe became vivid in Zhang Tie's mind at once.
Before 8 years old, O'Laura lived like a princess in the grey eagle tribe. Not only was she beautiful, what was more, since she could walk, she had shown a very high talent in cultivation. Therefore, she was recognized as a rare cultivation genius in the grey eagle tribe. Her father was the head of the grey eagle tribe. Her mother was the most beautiful woman in the tribe. Someone said that her mother was not only the most beautiful woman in the grey eagle tribe, but also the most beautiful woman in the entire Ice and Snow Wilderness.
Born in such a family, O'Laura should live a dream life; however, the reality was cruel. When her mother's beautiful look became even more famous than that of grey eagle tribe in the south of Ice and Snow Wilderness, a group of bandits who once dominated the south prairie of Ice and Snow Wilderness targeted O'Laura's mother. When O'Laura's parents traveled with a few tribal fighters, the bandits launched a raid and wanted to kidnap O'Laura's mother.
O'Laura's father was killed in the raid. O'Laura's mother didn't survive either; instead, she chose to commit suicide. The bandits failed to reach their target; however, O'Laura's entire life was changed. Although the bandits were finally exterminated by the tribes in the south of Ice and Snow Wilderness, O'Laura could not return to her previous life forever.
In the grey eagle tribe, after O'Laura's father died, the two elders of the grey eagle tribe started to have other thoughts. After putting the power of the tribe into their own pockets, they didn't want to hand it to a woman. Additionally, many people coveted the fat of the grey eagle tribe and treated O'Laura as the best breakthrough to devour the grey eagle tribe.
It was imaginable how stressful O'Laura was living in such an environment.
Among the 3 elders of the grey eagle tribe, Juventus and Ollier were definitely the biggest obstacles for O'Laura to inherit the power of the tribe. Juventus controlled the financial power of the grey eagle tribe while Ollier controlled over 2/3 of the armed forces of the grey eagle tribe through his sons and trusted subordinates.
With the support of Setton and Elder Merkel, although O'Laura was the legitimate successor of the grey eagle tribe, her power was actually very limited.
Although there were conflicts between Juventus and Ollier, they had a tacit understanding on dealing with O'Laura and preventing O'Laura from taking over the power of the tribe. In the hand of Juventus, O'Laura could not get any support at all. Additionally, Juventus often demanded a lot of money from her for various reasons. Without money, O'Laura's efforts to establish her power and prestige in the grey eagle tribe would be more difficult. The reason that O'Laura became a bounty hunter was that she proved her power; however, from another perspective, she had no choice. Nobody's money could fall from the sky.
If Juventus had taken drastic measures to deal with O'Laura, but they still wanted to save some face, Ollier's coercion was almost shameless.
Ollier always declared that there was only one condition for O'Laura to take the power of the tribe, namely to choose one of his sons as her husband. Only in this way could she ensure that the grey eagle tribe would not be annexed by others.
After knowing this, Zhang Tie finally knew why Setton wanted him to keep his mouth shut. Because as long as he exposed the fact that Elder Merkel dealt with him, it would definitely be a great strike to O'Laura's prestige in the grey eagle tribe.
How could a woman who had been captured be qualified to be the leader of a tribe? Zhang Tie immediately understood O'Laura's situation, "It might be the first time for O'Laura to fail since she became a bounty hunter!"
Actually, for O'Laura, the safest method was to kill Zhang Tie on the night when Elder Merkel attacked him and claim the reward with his head. In this way, she would not have any future trouble. However, that woman didn't kill him; instead, she kept him alive. Therefore, Zhang Tie had a complex feeling.
After learning about this, the image of that lonely woman sitting alone in the carriage and hugging her knees flashed in Zhang Tie's mind once again. He couldn't get it out of his mind no matter how hard he tried.
...
2 hours later, someone brought Zhang Tie's supper, which consisted of simple coarse bread, clean water and a bottle of seabuckthorn wine. When Zhang Tie was eating them, he heard noisy footsteps outside the cabin.
"What are you doing here?" It was the young man who was guarding Zhang Tie.
"At the order of Elder Ollier, we're here to execute the wanted criminal brought back by O'Laura!" An arrogant voice rang out.
"None of you can enter!" The young man's voice was filled with fury at once.
Pitifully, he only heard a sneer, "Go ahead..."
