"As a LV 1 garrison knight in the Lion Fortress, you could gain 6 earth-elements crystals per month. However, now that you have chosen to be a LV 2 garrison knight, you could only gain 2 earth-elements crystals per month. Additionally, you could only gain 2 earth-elements crystals during the period when you stay in the Lion Fortress. That is to say, if you stay in the Lion Fortress for 3 days and leave for 27 days, we will only admit that you have stayed in the Lion Fortress for 3 days. Nobody cares what you do in the other 27 days. However, the other 27 days are not the accumulative time for you to gain earth-elements crystals. Am I clear? As a LV 2 garrison knight, only staying in the Lion Fortress could be regarded as fulfilling his duty and gain earth-elements crystals. Of course, if you like, you could apply for being a LV 1 garrison knight at any time in the Lion Fortress. As a LV 1 garrison knight, you have to carry out the tasks assigned by the Lion Fortress each month. Although you have less freedom, you could gain more earth-elements crystals. Additionally, many tasks assigned to LV 1 garrison knights would bring extra earth-elements crystals as rewards..."
"The Lion Fortress implements the military laws of Taixia Country. The contents are too complex. You only need to remember the following words, namely, kill for kill; pay for debts. Logistical personnel and fighters who undertake auxiliary battle tasks in the Lion Fortress enjoy the same human rights as knights. Previously, there had been more than one case in the Lion Fortress where knights from other subcontinents killed logistical personnel and fighters who undertake auxiliary battle tasks due to various reasons. No matter how many rounds those knights had, they would have to pay for such cases with their lives. There were no exceptions, and there was no preferential treatment. Even a commoner among Hua people could not be insulted by those knights from other subcontinents, not to mention all the soldiers in the Lion Fortress are soldiers of Taixia Country. "
"Women are scarce resources in the Lion Fortress. Therefore, even if you fall in love with one of the most trivial logisticians, you have the right to pursue her. However, don't force her. Otherwise, it would only lead to a tragedy. It's not worthwhile for a knight."
"The 3 fruits that you saw just now are breadfruit tree, nutritious mushroom and watermelon. They are the food of the entire Lion Fortress. As a LV 2 garrison knight, you could get 1 breadfruit, 500g nutritious mushroom and 500g watermelon every day during your stay in the Lion Fortress. From tomorrow on, you could get them from the supply point. If you bring some food or get other food and materials outside the Lion Fortress, if you don't want them, you could exchange them for consumption points in the Lion Fortress. Spending points allow you to spend money in places such as bars in the Stronghold, or buy some daily necessities such as clothes and shoes. Many items and materials in the Lion Fortress are in short supply. Because they have to be transported here by airboat from the ground, even knights are not allowed to use them freely. "
"There are two common currencies in the Lion Fortress, consumption points, earth-element crystals, water-element crystals and wind-element crystals. The exchange ratio of each element crystal is 1: 6. Gold and silver are useless in the Lion Fortress. Those who could come here would not lack gold and silver on the ground!"
"The Earth-elements Realm is very large. It's almost like a complete world. The Lion Fortress is the pass between the Earth-elements Realm and the Eastern Continent. If you want to leave the Lion Fortress, I suggest you to know the map of the Earth-elements Realm nearby the Lion Fortress. Before being familiar with the Earth-elements Realm, you'd better not deepen into the region far from the Lion Fortress. Even if you want to deepen into it, you'd better team up with other knights. The terrain in the Earth-elements Realm is very complex. Besides the plains on the earth's surface, there are also various abysses and underground caves. Compared to the earth's surface, there are more regions in the Earth-elements Realm that have not been explored. In those regions that have not been explored, there might be some precious mineral resources and prehistoric secret items. This is also the attraction of the Earth-elements Realm. "
"In the brilliance tower of the Lion Fortress, you could see the tasks that the Lion Fortress issues to LV 2 garrison knights. The tasks have three rewards, earth-element crystals, consumption points and meritorious points. There are many kinds of tasks. For LV 2 garrison knights, killing demon knights in the Earth-elements Realm is the fastest and most effective way to gain the three rewards. Of course, besides demon knights, there are many more dangerous things in the Earth-elements Realm. Since the beginning of the holy war, over 20 LV 2 garrison knights would disappear in the Lion Fortress each year. You should pay more attention to that. "
After hearing that some knights would disappear in the Lion Fortress, Zhang Tie stopped his footsteps at once. That man in red military uniform with the military rank of major also stopped his footsteps at once as he turned around and watched Zhang Tie, "Is there any problem?"
"Would a LV 2 garrison knight disappear mysteriously when executing a common task?" Zhang Tie asked again in a serious tone.
"Yes!"
"Didn't the Lion Fortress investigate it?" Zhang Tie frowned.
After all, it's in the Earth-elements Realm. Being ambushed by demon knights, encountering senior demon knights, encountering high-level demon beasts or being trapped in a dangerous place, all of these factors are fatal to a knight. Of course, we don't rule out other possibilities. After all, there are too many knights here from all over the world. Wherever there are people, there would be contradictions. If knights in the Lion Fortress have common contradictions, they could solve them in the arbitration court of the fortress. If they couldn't solve it, they could have a fist fight in the Heavens Ball in the Martial Practice Tower. If they don't feel satisfied with this, as long as both parties agree, they could even have a duel to death. If someone feels that the above three methods don't work and wants to do something, you know, as long as they leave the fortress, they would be barely bound and monitored. As long as there's no evidence, they would not be punished. Therefore... you know, oh, I almost forgot to introduce myself. I'm Liu Xing, a logistics major in the Knight Commander's Office of the Lion Fortress! "
"Liu Xing... star as in starfish?" Zhang Tie asked.
"Yes, star as in the sea of stars!" Major Liu Xing pushed his glasses up as he emphasized "sea of stars". Undoubtedly, this "star" was much more senior than "starfish".
Zhang Tie didn't notice Major Liu Xing's persistence. Because of this name, Zhang Tie became absent-minded for a second. At the same time, another face which had long disappeared appeared in his mind. The owner of that face was also called Liu Xing, the first lieutenant of the Iron-Blood Camp of No. 39 Division of Iron-Horn Corps of Norman Empire and Zhang Tie's comrade-in-arms!
After leaving the Knight Commander's office, the two of them walked for more than ten minutes before arriving at a densely packed area with metal towers.
Each of these towers was higher than 200 m. Like chess pieces on the chessboard or sharp swords and spears, they were located in the periphery of the Lion Fortress. At the first glance, Zhang Tie found there were more than 1,000 towers in this region.
This was the residence of the black iron knights who were garrisoned in the Lion Fortress.
In the distance, there were some towers higher than 500 m, which were the residence of the earth knights in the Lion Fortress.
The closer the towers were to the core region, the taller and larger they would be.
When they passed by this region, Zhang Tie saw a metal nameplate at the entrance of each tower, which was marked with a house number.
Major Liu Xing guided Zhang Tie to the front of a tower marked Black D 1607 and pointed at it.
"This is your residence. The key is that metal nameplate that you received from the Knight Commander's Office. That metal nameplate is also the record certificate of your consumption points in the Lion Fortress and the identification of your access to the Lion Fortress. If you enter the Lion Fortress, don't forget to punch in at the city gate. If you miss your garrison time and get less earth-element crystals, don't complain about me."
As Major Liu Xing said this, Zhang Tie had already taken out that palm-sized metal key and inserted it into the metal gate at the bottom of the tower. After twisting it like a key, the gate of the tower opened silently.
The moment the gate was opened, a familiar qi of elements-gathering matrix had leaked out of the tower, which slightly moved Zhang Tie.
Zhang Tie entered it; however, Major Liu Xing didn't enter it; instead, he just stood outside, "Do you want to take a rest or do you want me to show you around the Lion Fortress? Besides the Martial Arts Practice Tower and the Knights' Bar, there are many places that knights are interested in..."
"No need. I've been busy all day. I want to take a rest first. I will go to those places later on. Oh, how can I find you if I have something?"
"During your stay in the Lion Fortress, if you have any problem that you need the logistics department to solve, you could leave a note in the note box behind the gate. The logistics personnel of the Lion Fortress would come here to collect it every day. Any reasonable demand could be solved by the logistics department!"
Zhang Tie found there was indeed a small note box behind the metal gate of the high tower. The opening of the first floor was outside. Zhang Tie could read the notes from the outside. The opening of the other floor was inside. Zhang Tie could leave a note for Liu Xing who held the key of the note box to open it from the outside.
This design was convenient and practical.
"Hmm, I see!" Zhang Tie nodded. The logistics department of the Lion Fortress was like stewards and waiters in hotels. They could help knights solve many trifles here.
"Is there anything else that I can do for you?"
"No. Oh, you've got a good name!"
Major Liu Xing became slightly stunned before replying, "Thanks!"
"Hmm, I will enter a closed door cultivation for a few days. Bye..." Zhang Tie revealed a faint smile on his ferocious face as he closed the gate of the knight's tower.
Outside the gate, Major Liu Xing revealed a faint smile before leaving there...
In the knight's tower, Zhang Tie dropped his luggage as he habitually checked the entire knight's tower.
The knight tower was divided into 3 floors. Starting from the first floor, the area of each floor gradually shrunk. The first floor was the living room and a place to store various things. The second floor was the bedroom and the bathroom. The third floor was the cultivation room.
All the items in the room were new. However, the furnishings were very simple. Besides the most basic daily necessities, there was almost no extra item, not even a spare dagger.
In the cultivation room, Zhang Tie sensed that the feeling of the elements-gathering matrix was transmitted from the arched top of the cultivation room. The high triangular spire at the top of the knight's tower seemed to be a very special elements-gathering matrix. Additionally, this elements-gathering matrix was much more effective than the one that he used.
Many basic items in the knight's tower were made of metal, which were very firm. Even knights could barely destroy them. Those items seemed to grow out of the knight's tower. Take the water in the knight's tower as an instance, Zhang Tie didn't see any pipeline in the knight's tower or the entire Lion Fortress; however, the moment the spindle-shaped faucet was turned on, clear water would flow out of the room.
Water would not appear out of thin air. Therefore, water pipes had been automatically integrated in the wall and underground of the knight's tower. The entire Knight's Tower and the ground below seemed to be poured together, not pieced together at all.
Therefore, Zhang Tie guessed that each building and tower in the Lion Fortress was an organic whole with this fortress like a tree trunk and a leaf, a part of a precise system.
It was completely out of Zhang Tie's understanding about what kind of force could produce such a thing.
Among the things that Zhang Tie had seen, only one thing was similar to the Lion Fortress, namely, the palace tree. Everything in the palace tree was integrated and grew out of nature without any artificial trace. Many places in the Lion Fortress were similar to the palace tree.
'Is the Lion Fortress also grown out of a bizarre seed like the palace tree? '
When this whim occurred to Zhang Tie's mind, he felt it was unimaginable.
After being familiar with the internal environment of the knight's tower, Zhang Tie directly came to the cultivation room on the 3rd floor.
In the cultivation room, Zhang Tie took out his knight's crystal plate from Castle of Black Iron, which belonged to Zhang Tie, whose code name was Chakra's Tiger in the Mountain of Brightness.
'It's time to strike back... '
As it had come to this moment, Zhang Tie didn't have any concerns anymore...
'After all, I have to pay for what I've done! '
'The only thing that those people and forces who framed me didn't consider is that I could escape out of the trap alive. '
'As long as I'm alive, it's time for those people to pay the price. '
The Supreme Court of Taixia Country followed the law. Therefore, evidence was needed to convict people. Although Zhang Tie couldn't present any evidence to prove that he was innocent, it didn't matter. Although evidence was very important, it was actually not that important in some situations. Because the Supreme Court was just a part of the power of Taixia Country, there were other powers which were more powerful than the Supreme Court in Taixia Country.
'Do people like my master Zhao Yuan need any f * cking evidence to do something or kill someone? '
'Of course not. They would do things and act according to their own judgment; instead of based on any evidence. '
'Big figures always pay attention to judgment; instead of evidence! '
'Evidence is lagging and might be fake; however, judgment is advanced, which is the condensation of one's wisdom and experience. '
'Big figures are very confident. '
'That's enough. '
Zhang Tie logged into the Mountain of Brightness using his knight's crystal plate and entered the forum of knights.
Only when a knight was proved to be a traitor to humans would his connection with the Mountain of Brightness be canceled and terminated. Although Zhang Tie was wanted, he didn't betray humans. Therefore, he could still enter the Mountain of Brightness in the identity of Chakra's Tiger.
It was Zhang Tie's first time to use the posting function of the forum of knights in the Mountain of Brightness.
Zhang Tie recovered his composure. After a few hours' processing, Zhang Tie finally finished a sincere and eloquent article.
When he was going to post the article, Zhang Tie named it "The Truth of the Tragedy in Fuhai City".
"Castle Lord, change a title!" Heller's voice sounded in Zhang Tie's mind.
"Change a title?"
"Yes, although this title explains the main idea of the article, it's not attractive enough. What we need now is a title that's attractive enough to make people want to read it. What you're doing now, if it were before the Cataclysm, would be equivalent to someone posting on an online forum. Do you know that before the Cataclysm, there was also a party running amok on the internet?"
"What party?" Zhang Tie remembered the Gobbling Party the moment he heard the word "party".
"Title party!"
"Title party?"
Heller told Zhang Tie about the past and present lives of title party seriously. Zhang Tie became enlightened at once...
'This party is not bad! '
After a while, Zhang Tie finally fixed the main title.
"The Epitaph of the Despicable: From the dean of the Provincial Court of Taixia Province to a felon in Taixia Country, from a gentleman to a perverted sex demon — — My Half a Year in Taixia Country"
There was a sub-title below — — A lot of first-hand precious secrets and the secret of the shadow demon of Heavens Reaching Church.
Then, the author's name was — — Zhang Mushen, Chakra's Tiger.
Reading Settings — — Free
...
Soon, this article appeared in the Mountain of Brightness...
After 2 hours, after absorbing 4 earth-elements crystals, Zhang Tie found that the article had been read over 500 times... (What a great activity! A cool mobile phone is waiting for you!
