"Elder Muen, what are you doing? Are you going to arrange a ceremony here?" Zhang Tie asked out of curiosity.
"Of course, we're going to arrange a ceremony. Have you forgotten what I've told you yesterday?" Elder Muen replied with a smile in a good mood.
"Ahh, are you going to arrange a ceremony for me?"
"Of course!"
"Erm... that's too grand!" Zhang Tie looked around. Watching those busy deacons and disciples, the auspicious cloud golden bricks on the ground and the sutra streamers hanging in the lobby, he felt that it was too grand. Last night, some elders told him that there would be a formal ceremony to celebrate the birth of one more knight in Huaiyuan Palace. Zhang Tie thought that the ceremony was just a formality; he had not imagined that it could be so grand.
"Rotating chakra ceremony is a major event of the clan. Of course, it should not be sloppy!" Elder Muen said with a solemn look.
"Rotating chakra?"
"After promoting to a knight, you have to form your chakra. If your chakra always rotates, you will have a great fortune. The rotating knight's chakra is not only related to you, but also the fortune of the entire Huaiyuan Palace and the clan. Therefore, after promoting to a knight, you have to hold a rotating chakra ceremony to show the dignity of a knight!" Speaking of this, Elder Muen glanced over the entire hall with nostalgic and emotional eyes. He lowered his voice, "The last rotating chakra ceremony was held here 68 years ago. Elder Muyu and Elder Muan promoted to knights. Before promoting to knights, Elder Muyu and Elder Muan were known as Huaiyuan Twin Pearls. Both of them promoted to knights in 3 years. The moment the two knights appeared in the rotating chakra ceremony of Huaiyuan Palace, they became the most brilliant ones. They shocked the entire Waii Sub-continent. In Jinyun Country, Huaiyuan Palace's prestige surpassed that of Lan Clan. Among the other 5 major clans, Ou Clan, Tantai Clan, Wang Clan and Li Clan, Huaiyuan Palace's prestige was very high. Each of the offsprings of Huaiyuan Palace was very proud of it. Since then, clan deacons had been cleaning and inspecting the ceremonial utensils of Huaiyuan Palace every day and every month. Each descendant of Huaiyuan Palace was looking forward to carrying out those ceremonial utensils of Huaiyuan Palace for the second time. However, it's been 68 years... "
"68 years!" Being influenced by Elder Muen's tone, Zhang Tie also let out a sigh. He had not imagined that nobody in Huaiyuan Palace could promote to a knight in 68 years. This also showed how difficult it was to become a knight.
"War and worship are the most important things in the family. In Taixia Country, a top major clan would hold a rotating chakra ceremony every 10 years or so. Each rotating chakra ceremony would push the cohesion and influence of the clan to a new height. It would be so powerful that people could only look up to it. Before Huaiyuan Palace goes to Taixia Country, we could still hold a rotating chakra ceremony in the Ancestral Shrine Palace. This is a good omen for Huaiyuan Palace to prosper! "
"Then when will the Great Wheel of Reincarnation be held?"
"November 3rd, that's an auspicious day!" Elder Muen replied, "We have to be careful about this chakra ceremony. It would take Huaiyuan Palace over half a month to prepare for it. Plus the invitations, it would take guests from all over the world at least one month. Today is September 24th. From now to November 3rd, we only have 40 days. That's tight!"
After thinking for a short while, Zhang Tie replied, "I have something to deal with during this period. I will leave Huaiyuan Prefecture for a few days. I will come back before November 1st!"
As Zhang Tie had not been to Ice and Snow Wilderness for a long time, he would like to visit Ice and Snow Wilderness in 40 days. Given his current speed in water, he could swim more than 10 times faster than before. It would not take him too long to go to Ice and Snow Wilderness.
After being silent for a short while, Elder Muen watched Zhang Tie seriously, "This chakra ceremony is related to the prestige of Huaiyuan Palace. After sending out the invitations, guests from all over the world would converge. If something went wrong in the ceremony, Huaiyuan Palace would be embarrassed. If you're in danger, you could have Elder Muray accompany you there …"
Zhang Tie was really used to disappear. Elder Muen was afraid that Zhang Tie would disappear once again. If not, Huaiyuan Palace would suffer from extreme joy. If Zhang Tie was still the old Zhang Tie, Elder Muen would definitely reproach Zhang Tie with a solemn look. However, Zhang Tie's current status was actually the same as his. Although he had not become an official clan elder, nobody could look down upon him in Huaiyuan Palace. As a clan elder, unless he committed an unpardonable crime, the clan would unite to punish him. Otherwise, clan elders could only negotiate with each other, not to mention reproach him.
"Don't worry, Elder Muen. I'm not going to fight demons in the area under the control of demons. That's not a problem!" Knowing Elder Muen's concern, Zhang Tie replied with a smile calmly.
"Come with me …" Elder Muen led Zhang Tie to the rear palace of the Ancestral Shrine Palace, which was the cultivation place of those clan elders who were in charge of the Ancestral Shrine Palace. In a room of the rear palace, Elder Muen took out a small brocade box from a cabinet and gave it to Zhang Tie.
After taking it and opening it, Zhang Tie found a finger ring inside. The finger ring looked nothing different than common finger rings. Besides being a bit thick and broad, it looked very common. However, Zhang Tie knew that common finger rings could not be kept here by the clan elders of Huaiyuan Palace in such a solemn way. Additionally, all the clan elders seemed to be wearing such a common finger ring.
"This is a top-quality remote-sensing crystal finger ring that could only be carried by clan elders of Huaiyuan Palace. Previously, it should be given to you after you confirmed your knight title and completed the rotating chakra ceremony. Now that you're going to leave Huaiyuan Prefecture during this period, you could take it with you. If you need anything, you could contact Huaiyuan Palace through it."
'This finger ring is a remote-sensing crystal.' After taking it, Zhang Tie looked at it over and over again; however, he didn't see any remote-sensing crystal.
"There's a small piece of top-quality remote-sensing crystal in the ring. It's sealed in the surface of the ring. You can't see it with your naked eyes. You can sense it with your spiritual power!"
After sensing it with his spiritual energy, Zhang Tie found that there was indeed a fine hole which was dozens of times smaller than the eye of a needle. After penetrating into it with his spiritual energy, he instantly sensed the core of the remote-sensing crystal which was as smooth as a drop of running water.
The smaller the size of the Remote Sensing Crystal. The easier it was to carry, the more precious it was. This ring. The remote-sensing crystal was sealed in the surface of the ring, and no one could see any problem from its appearance. The craftsmanship and the value of such a small remote-sensing crystal were enough to make people gasp in amazement. Compared to the remote-sensing crystal that Zhang Tie's elder brother tried his best to get, the remote-sensing crystal was much more powerful than Zhang Tie's. He didn't know how much higher this ring was. If he wore this thing on his hand, he would be able to receive any information from the Remote Sensing Crystal at any time. It was very convenient.
Not to mention that this finger ring was a very precious knight level rune equipment. Zhang Tie only slightly scanned over the metal surface of the finger ring with his spiritual energy, which made him feel like he was in a trance. A line of information appeared in Zhang Tie's mind.
— — Huaiyuan Ring
— — Knight equipment.
— — With this finger ring, the wearer could increase agility by 2% and recovery speed by 2%. Perceptive ability by 2%.
It could work on a knight and improve 3 attributes of a knight by 2% each. Such a ring was a top-quality one. What was more, there was a top-quality remote-sensing crystal sealed in the finger ring.
"This finger ring is made by the Equipment Pavilion of Huaiyuan Palace. Only clan elders are qualified to wear it. Each clan elder has one!"
Zhang Tie received it solemnly. Although the Huaiyuan Finger Ring was light, it felt heavy in his hand.
There was a special long-distance communication identification code of this finger ring in the box. After reading it over in the room, Zhang Tie memorized the identification code in front of Elder Muen. After that, he rubbed it by hand and burned it into ashes.
"In the Secret Room of the Ancestral Shrine Palace, someone is on duty at the other end of the remote-sensing crystal that can contact this ring 24 hours a day. Through the Secret Room, this ring can also contact the other five elders at any time!"
The Secret Room was a remote remote-sensing communication service especially for clan elders of Huaiyuan Palace. It was managed by loyal and reliable clan deacons. 3-5 clan elders were equipped with such a service. This was the background of Huaiyuan Palace and the privilege of being an elder.
"Did Elder Muyuan pass the message back from the Eastern Continent as soon as possible through Huaiyuan Ring?"
"Yes!" Elder Muen nodded.
After becoming a clan elder, according to the clan rules, elders could only call each other by their family names, regardless of seniority. Even if they were father, son or brother, they could only call each other by seniority in the clan or in private. Zhang Tie could not call his sixth granduncle anymore.
…
10 minutes later, Zhang Tie strode off Yiyang Mountain alone. Nobody followed him. He just waved his hand and walked out of the cardinal place of Huaiyuan Palace.
In Huaiyuan Palace, nobody dared follow a clan elder. Additionally, only knights could follow knights. Unless someone was tired of living. Zhang Tie didn't need any followers. Of course, he just walked down the mountain alone.
"Ahh, are you a new disciple in service? Why haven't we seen you before?" When he went downhill, Zhang Tie met some servant disciples who were climbing up from the foot of the mountain. They were as old as Zhang Tie. At the sight of Zhang Tie's different warrior's uniform, they couldn't help but ask out of amazement. On the mountain, all the stewards, deacons and servant disciples wore the same uniform. Besides clan elders, nobody could wander here casually in clothes. 'Who's this guy? How dare he be so audacious?'
"No …"
Zhang Tie replied calmly. Closely after that, he walked away under the amazed eyes of those disciples in service.
…
Half an hour later, Zhang Tie came to the foot of an apartment building on a street in Yiyang City.
…
"Ahh, Mr. and Mrs. James have already checked out of the house half a year ago. They've already left Yiyang City by boat!"
The gatekeeper of that apartment building was a strong white man. After realizing that Zhang Tie was a Hua person and his warrior's uniform was not cheap, he answered Zhang Tie very politely.
At this moment, due to the evacuation of a great number of Hua people, there were more and more people of other races in Yiyang City. Many Hebrews who came to Yiyang City had found jobs, which made up for the labor shortage in this city after the departure of Hua people.
The gatekeeper's answer was completely within Zhang Tie's expectation. When he came here, he had guessed that Miss Daina might have already moved away. 2 months after he left Yiyang City last time, Miss Daina should have married her fiance. After such a long time, it was almost impossible for Miss Daina to stay in Yiyang City.
Zhang Tie didn't know why he came here. He just wanted to see how Miss Daina was doing and whether she was fine or not. If Miss Daina was fine, he only needed to take a look at her from afar. After finding that someone else was living in the residence of Miss Daina and her husband, Zhang Tie couldn't stand asking the gatekeeper about it.
"Do you know where they've gone?"
"It's said that they've gone to the Eastern Continent. But I don't know the concrete details. It's said that Dr. James is very good at surgical operations. Someone paid a high price for him from his former hospital. Oh, his wife is pregnant. Of course, they left here as soon as possible …"
'Miss Daina is pregnant? Miss Daina should have been a mother at this moment. '
Zhang Tie's heart was filled with complex emotions.
'I've become a father; Miss Daina has become a mother. Is this the so-called life?'
…
After leaving the former residence of Miss Daina, Zhang Tie walked in the boisterous streets of Yiyang City for quite a while before recovering his composure. After that, he hailed a taxi and had it send him to Golden Sea City.
The taxi driver was also a black man who couldn't even speak Hua language fluently. Zhang Tie didn't understand his destination until he pointed at his destination on the map.
Zhang Tie came to Golden Sea City and prepared to pay a visit to the old man of Zhang family. On the way, the black driver completely treated Zhang Tie as his free Hua language teacher. Hearing the black driver's jokes in Hua language, Zhang Tie let out a sigh helplessly, 'Yes, this is life — — even a knight's secret lover could become another's wife; even a taxi driver could tell you jokes in poor Hua language when you were depressed.'
Not until the taxi driver arrived at the old mansion of Zhang family did Zhang Tie give a gold coin to the driver, "Keep the change …"
The fare of a taxi was less than 10 silver coins. Zhang Tie threw a gold coin to the driver, which made the black driver thrilled.
"Shou shou... shou shou..." the black driver muttered in Chinese language. Closely after that, he drove away as fast as he could as if he was afraid that Zhang Tie would regret.
Zhang Tie shook his head as he walked towards the old mansion of Zhang family...
At this moment, a limo drove towards Zhang's old mansion. When it passed by Zhang Tie, it slowed down. At the same time, a beautiful girl in a very virtuous skirt and hairstyle slightly frowned as she watched Zhang Tie's side. Zhang Tie turned around and threw a glance at her. Closely after that, the girl's eyes shone.
"It's you?" The woman's voice was filled with surprise and surprise.
After glancing at this woman for a short while, Zhang Tie remembered that he had seen this woman before. This was the woman who had hugged him and called him husband the first time she saw him...
This woman seemed to be called … Nana …
A few years ago, after changing her look, Zhang Tie almost could not recognize her anymore...
