The manservant in cyan robe and cyan hat was taking a nap behind the counter of the pawnshop while his saliva flowed out of the counter.
All the furniture and furnishings in the pawnshop looked old and had lost their luster. The entire pawnshop had a faint smell of smoke and tea that could only be found in a teahouse that had been around for a long time.
In the cabinets behind the counter of the pawnshop, apart from a few pieces of scrap metal that didn't seem to be worth much money, there was nothing else.
When he recalled the awe-inspiring title of Mountain of Brightness and watched this pawnshop which was going to close down, Zhang Tie threw a glance at Elder Muray.
"Ahem... ahem..." Elder Muray coughed twice.
The manservant who was taking a nap still didn't wake up.
Elder Muray felt a bit embarrassed as he coughed twice heavily once again. Not until then did the manservant wake up. Closely after that, the arm that supported his head slipped and his head smashed onto the counter of the pawnshop. Meanwhile, his face fell into the puddle of saliva that he had "created".
"Who... who sprayed me with water?" The manservant exclaimed at once as he danced with joy. When he saw Zhang Tie and Elder Muen clearly and found that the puddle of saliva was his saliva, he wiped his face and the table by his sleeve stealthily. Closely after that, he swung his sleeve.
'Really... really... powerful! 'Zhang Tie became speechless.
"Is the boss here?" Elder Muen asked politely.
"Last night, six honest and upright officials went to Yihong Building. That old b * stard went there to join the fun. He has not come back yet! " The manservant said indignantly as if he was blaming that "old b * stard" for not taking him there. After venting his anger, he glanced at Zhang Tie and Elder Muen from their heads to their toes. At the sight of Zhang Tie, the manservant's eyes shone at once, "Tut... tut... I've not imagined that I could see such a young knight in Waii Sub-continent!"
Previously, Zhang Tie was doubting whether this place had anything to do with the Mountain of Brightness; however, the latter words of the manservant shocked Zhang Tie at once.
When Zhang Tie didn't show his battle ability and his knight's coercion, even though he was standing in front of a knight, he would not be able to escape. That knight might not be able to identify his status at the first sight. How did this manservant know that?
Zhang Tie immediately put away his doubts.
"You're lucky. Since there's a big deal coming to your door, I'll give it to you. That old thing must have predicted it. He'll be back soon! "
The moment the waiter finished his words, Zhang Tie had heard footsteps outside the pawnshop. One of them had white hair and beard. A skinny old man wearing a bright red robe with embroidered embroidery on it rushed in with a faint lipstick mark on his face. He was emitting a faint fragrance of cosmetics.
That old guy's look could only be described by Hua words — — dirty old man!
"Ah, who didn't come earlier or later, and just had to come at this time to urge me to die? What a killjoy … "The old man scolded as he walked in.
Elder Muen who was the most bad-tempered in Huaiyuan Palace remained silent in front of this old guy; instead, he just revealed a big smile.
The old guy threw a glance at Elder Muen and Zhang Tie. After muttering something, he had the manservant open a narrow anti-theft door beside the counter of the pawnshop. After that, he walked in.
The moment he entered the pawnshop, the old guy had knocked onto the manservant's head, causing the manservant to jump up, "You lazy brat, did you speak ill of me just now?"
"Ah, I didn't!" The manservant touched his head with a pitiful look as he blinked his eyes like an innocent white rabbit.
"Work honestly, don't think about women all day long. Look at you, you haven't even grown your hair yet. Right now, it's chaotic. Next month, I'll increase your salary by two silver coins. When you've saved up 20 gold coins, I'll bring you to find a woman of the highest quality for you to open …"
The old guy said as he pushed the manservant away. Closely after that, he sat behind the counter of the pawnshop and watched Zhang Tie and Elder Muen in a condescending manner.
After this old guy entered the pawnshop, Zhang Tie was shocked to find that the space of the pawnshop was closed. Although the door was open, nobody's voice could be heard from inside.
Elder Muen threw a glance at Zhang Tie. Zhang Tie then walked to the front of the counter of the pawnshop.
After throwing a serious glance at Zhang Tie, the old guy asked with an unpleasant look, "Name?"
"Zhang Tie!"
"Age?"
"22 years old!"
"Who asked you about one year old? Do you know the nominal age of Hua people?" The old guy glared at Zhang Tie as if he was looking at an illiterate person, "Don't tell me that the 10 months in your mother's womb are not your real age. You young people who grew up in Waii Sub-continent have a shallow foundation. If you don't learn the essence of Hua culture seriously, you would forget about your mother's favor and start from the beginning. As for your age …"
Zhang Tie was scolded by this old guy. He could only answer honestly, "23 years old!"
"Which clan were you born in?"
"Huaiyuan Palace, Jinyun Country!"
"Put your right hand in …"
Zhang Tie put his hand in. The old guy pinched each knuckle of Zhang Tie's right hand like touching his bones. After that, he took out a silver needle from under the counter and rapidly pricked one of Zhang Tie's fingers. After that, he stretched out his hand and took out a dragon-shaped white crystal plate from under the counter. After pinching Zhang Tie's finger, he rapidly dripped his blood onto the left and right eyes of the dragon-shaped crystal plate. After being dripped with Zhang Tie's blood, the entire white crystal plate turned as blue as sapphire.
"Inject your spiritual energy into this dragon-shaped crystal plate!"
A whim occurred to Zhang Tie as he injected his spiritual energy into the dragon-shaped crystal plate through his finger. Closely after that, the dragon-shaped crystal plate started to radiate light. Finally, a dragon-shaped totem light and shade appeared on the crystal plate. After flying around the crystal plate for one round, the totem finally entered the dragon-shaped crystal plate and turned into a shiny dragon scale on the dragon-shaped crystal plate, which looked pretty marvelous.
After doing all this, the old guy took out a bizarre bright yellow crystal plate from under the counter and passed it to Zhang Tie together with the dragon-shaped crystal plate. "It's done!"
Watching that brilliant yellow crystal with bizarre luster, Elder Muray faintly frowned, "Why is there only one earth-element crystal? Weren't there two earth-element crystals before?"
"As the battle in the Earth-elements Realm is fierce, it's not bad to have one earth-element crystal. It's a welfare to encourage human knights. It's normal to have no earth-element crystal. How many more do you want? One crate?" The old guy rolled his eyes, making Elder Muray speechless. "Well, pay up!"
Elder Muray then took out some gold checks and put them on the counter.
At the sight of the denomination of the gold checks, Zhang Tie was startled; because each gold check was worth 1 million gold coins. Such a gold check was the highest denomination that Golden Roc Bank issued. Elder Muray took out 4 of them.
'These items are worth 4 million gold coins?' '100 tons of gold?'
Zhang Tie watched the two items which weighed less than 250 kg in total with an unbelievable look. He couldn't equate the value of the two items with 4 million gold coins for the time being.
Even though Zhang Tie had 500 million gold coins in assets, he, who had lived a hard life since he was young, knew very well how many things could be bought with 4 million gold coins and how valuable it was.
It could be said that in many small countries, the so-called major clans might not be able to afford 4 million gold coins. Even those major clans in Blackhot City would spit out blood if they could afford 4 million gold coins.
After putting away the gold checks, the old guy threw a glance at Zhang Tie as if he knew what Zhang Tie was thinking about. He then said unhappily, "Do you think this knight's crystal plate is common? You could not find it anywhere else besides the Mountain of Brightness. Given that you're a human knight, it's totally at the cost price. This item is the pass and key for you to enter the knight's world. You can enter the knight's crystal plate with your spiritual energy and know whether it's worth 4 million gold coins or not."
After hearing the old guy's words, Zhang Tie directly entered the knight's crystal plate with his spiritual energy once again.
After entering the knight's crystal plate once again, a piece of information appeared in Zhang Tie's mind sea, which told Zhang Tie the meaning and usage of this knight's crystal plate in detail.
With the powerful spiritual energy of a knight, it only took Zhang Tie less than 1 second to absorb all the information. He then completely understood the meaning and usage of this knight's crystal plate. After understanding the function of this knight's crystal plate, Zhang Tie widely opened his mouth at once.
Generally, this knight's crystal plate mainly had three functions.
First, this knight's crystal plate was Zhang Tie's identity certificate. Now, this knight's crystal plate had been completely bound with Zhang Tie. Only Zhang Tie could activate some special functions on this crystal plate. In many mysterious human regions in the underground world, only people with a human knight's crystal plate could enter them. This knight's crystal plate was equal to each human knight's legal certificate. Additionally, this knight's crystal plate had a mysterious connection with Zhang Tie. If Zhang Tie died, the Mountain of Brightness would be the first one to know it.
