Zhang Tie's residence was in an official manor in Xuantian City. The moment Zhang Tie came to the periphery of the official manor, he had been startled by the scene in front of him.
Outside the government office, the luxurious carriages and horses were already packed to the brim with people. More than half of the street was filled with people holding all kinds of gifts.
"Ha, Mr. Liu, you're here too..."
"Isn't this Boss Qu..."
"Ha, and Mr. Gao..."
Although there were a lot of people waiting outside the government office, they all maintained their status and didn't make any noise. They just waited there patiently, chatting and greeting the people they were familiar with in a low voice. These people waited outside the government office in person, but their bodyguards and housekeepers also followed them, carrying boxes of all sizes, occupying almost half of the street outside the government office.
"It's said that the steward of the mayor is also queuing up in front?" A person in brilliant silk robe was chatting with another person in the queue in a low voice in front of Zhang Tie.
"Whoever doesn't come here is an idiot. If not the official uniform of Taixia Country and has long been dispatched away from Xuantian City, I think the mayor might have long been waiting here!"
"Hmm, Fire Dragon Hermit is a real earth knight. It's said that he has made great meritorious deeds in the Earth-elements Realm. He has killed at least 2 earth demon knights. He's really famous..."
"Have you seen that red airboat parked inside the official manor? It's said that Fire Dragon Hermit won it from a shadow knight elder of Taiyi Fantasy Sect. Even the elder of Taiyi Fantasy Sect was defeated by him. Fire Dragon Hermit is really something..."
"I was told that Fire Dragon Hermit had killed at least 4 earth knights in the Earth-elements Realm..."
"It's said that the other 2 were not recorded in the meritorious deeds of Fire Dragon Hermit. However, the others have seen them..."
"Doesn't it mean that Fire Dragon Hermit is the No. 1 powerhouse in Youzhou Province? He's even more powerful than the provincial governor..."
"Hush, don't talk about it..."
With such whispers, the moment Zhang Tie was going to push his way towards the gate of the official manor, a fat man in a deputy's uniform in front of him had turned around and watched him with an unpleasant look, "Brother, don't you know that we have to queue up if we want to send our visiting cards?"
'F * ck, this father needs to queue up before returning to my residence? '
Watching the rolling heads dozens of meters in front of him, Zhang Tie knew that he could not explain it to these people. Therefore, he directly took off his bamboo hat, revealing his signature bald head as he shouted, "Liu Xing!"
The moment Zhang Tie shouted, all the people in front of him turned around and watched him at once.
"Fire Dragon Hermit, Fire Dragon Hermit, Fire Dragon Dragon Hermit, Tie Dragon Dragon Hermit!" an old man turned around and lectured Zhang Tie.
Soon after Zhang Tie, Zhang of Tie of Zhang of Zhang of Dragon Hermit and Zhang of Zhang Zhang Dragon Tie, an Hermit of Zhang Tie of Hermit Tie, an Hun Qing, an Zhang Palace, Hua, of Long of Ming. an Zhang "Zhang"
The moment he finished his words, he had heard an uproar in front of the gate of the official manor. Those people in front of the gate hurriedly moved aside while a team of fighters in black armor rushed over here and made a way for them.
It was said that these people were all fierce generals of the top 4 armies of Taixia Country in the Earth-elements Realm and the personal attendants of Fire Dragon Hermit. How could those people who were waiting outside the official manor offend them?
Under the amazed looks of so many people, that team made a way out of the crowd and came to the front of Zhang Tie. It was Liu Xing who was in the lead of the team.
"Fire Dragon Hermit!"
At the sight of Zhang Tie, Liu Xing hurriedly bowed towards Zhang Tie.
After hearing Liu Xing's words, all the others felt like having some duck eggs in their mouths. The entire street became so quiet that even a pin drop could be heard; especially that old man who lectured Zhang Tie just now and those bodyguards on his side, whose faces turned red as they quivered all over due to fear.
"What's wrong with these people?" Zhang Tie asked Liu Xing.
"These people come from other cities in Fire Dragon Bounty Territory. After knowing that Fire Dragon Hermit is living here, they have been waiting outside the official manor these days. After submitting their visiting cards, they are ready to meet Fire Dragon Hermit. As Fire Dragon Hermit is traveling outside these days, they just wait here!" Liu Xing replied.
Zhang Tie nodded as he walked to the top of the steps of the gate of the official manor under the respectful welcome of Liu Xing and the other bodyguards.
This official manor used to be the official reception center of Xuantian City. It was especially used to receive dignitaries from all over Xuantian City. The Protocol Department of Xuantian City was also set inside. The official manor was located in the best location in Xuantian City. There was even an airship airport in the official manor. The entire official manor was like a luxurious Grand View Garden in the city, including pavilions, terraces, waterside gardens, clubs, courtyards and guesthouses. After coming to Xuantian City, Zhang Tie chose this official manor as his residence. Additionally, he prepared to hold the opening ceremony of Iron-Dragon Sect here. No matter what, this official manor belonged to him now. Therefore, he could do whatever he wanted.
Standing on the top of the steps of the gate of the official manor, Zhang Tie threw a glance at those people who were waiting outside the official manor. At the sight of Zhang Tie, all of them were flurried as they hurriedly bowed towards Zhang Tie with hands folded in front. Nobody could stand straight at present. There were almost 1,000 people outside the official manor.
Given the clothes and demeanor of these people, Zhang Tie had known that they were major clans in the 10 cities of Fire-Dragon Bounty Territory. Of course, they were local bullies in Fire-Dragon Bounty Territory. In front of an earth knight, these people and clans were as trivial as ants. They were much weaker than Zhang Tie on strength, social status, fighting strength and wealth.
However, this world was not only about killing. It was impossible for Zhang Tie to leave these people for construction. After all, this world was composed of more commoners. Knights were just a small batch of commoners on the top of the golden tower.
Zhang Tie was as tall as a giant. When he stood on the top of the steps, he looked more majestic.
"Who among you is good at building palaces and civil engineering?" Zhang Tie asked straightforwardly as he didn't feel like talking nonsense.
Soon after Zhang Tie finished his words, a dark-skinned and plump middle-aged man at his 50s instantly raised his hand. He was the fastest and most active one among them.
"Who're you?"
"Fire Dragon Hermit, I'm Lu Yishan, the owner of Threerocks Building Business Group in Dashang City, Gaoping Prefecture, Yanzhou Province. Threerocks Building Business Group has a long history and a great reputation. It was inherited from my ancestor. I'm qualified to build Class A cities in Taixia Country. I'm good at building civil engineering!" Lu Yishan sounded a bit intense as his voice quivered. However, he still finished his words calmly.
"Good, not bad, come here!" Zhang Tie waved his hand towards Lu Yishan.
Under the admiring eyes of the others, Lu Yishan took in a deep breath as he tried his best to walk to Zhang Tie's side calmly. After bowing towards Zhang Tie once again, he stood on Zhang Tie's side respectfully two steps below Zhang Tie.
Compared to so many people outside the official manor, Lu Yishan stood out at once.
Watching Lu Yishan standing on Zhang Tie's side at once, some members of construction business groups in the crowd felt very regretful. They had not imagined that they missed a good opportunity to approach Fire Dragon Hermit just now when they were guessing the intention of Fire Dragon Hermit.
When they were hesitating whether they should raise their hands or not, Zhang Tie opened his mouth once again.
"Which one of you has an alcohol brewer?"
Due to the precedent, the moment Zhang Tie finished his words, three people had raised their hands at the same time.
In this age, alcohol also had special uses. Besides being the fuel of sports car like T9, it could also be used in medical treatment and food processing. Therefore, it was normal for clans in the 10 cities of Fire Dragon Bounty Territory to have an alcohol brewer.
"Well, you three, come here!" Zhang Tie called the three people over.
Under the admiration of others, the three well-dressed people came to the steps below Zhang Tie and stood still.
"Which clan is good at making machines?" Zhang Tie asked another question.
This time, 5 of them raised their hands. Zhang Tie had them walk towards him once again...
"Which family is the most unsociable? How hateful!"
After hearing Zhang Tie's question, all the others exchanged glances with each other. Nobody raised their hands anymore. After hearing Zhang Tie's words, all the others moved their eyes onto a thin old man in a black robe who was as thin as a bamboo pole. The old man was standing in the crowd with a cold look, followed by two servants who were carrying gift boxes. Although it was bustling in the surroundings, there was an empty place on his side.
Noticing that everybody was looking at him at the same time, the old man finally raised his hand after a short hesitation.
"Fine, come here!"
Under the amazed eyes of the others, the old man walked to the bottom of the stairs on Zhang Tie's side in an embarrassed way. On the other side, he just stood there alone as he didn't get along with the others.
"Which clan has a lot of servants, upholds good family rules and is famous in the countryside?" Zhang Tie asked another question.
Everyone hesitated for a moment. Many people wanted to raise their hands, but after looking at their surroundings and muttering to themselves, they decided not to. However, one person in the crowd hesitated for a moment. Seeing that no one else had raised their hands, he gritted his teeth and bravely raised his hand.
"Who are you?"
"Hermit, this humble man is Wang Chongde, the head of Wang Clan of Yushun Palace in Ningan City. The family rules of Wang Clan are a bit famous in Ningan City. I dare not say that the family rules are good or famous in the countryside; however, we are very strict every day. All the servants of Wang Clan follow the family rules of three provinces a day. Wang Clan's porridge store in Ningan City follows the order of our ancestors. As long as Wang Clan has food 365 days a year, the porridge store will always provide porridge. After hearing Hermit's question, this humble man would like to recommend myself. If it's not good for Hermit, please forgive me!" The one who raised his hand said in a flurried way.
"How many years has your porridge store been running in Ningan City?"
"Starting from my great-grandfather, Wang Clan has been providing porridge to Ningan City for 71 years, 8 months and 21 days in a row!"
Zhang Tie burst out into laughter, which shocked half of the city, "Wang Clan of Yushun Palace, as the saying goes, a family that accumulates good deeds will always have a celebration. This Hermit will follow the will of God and have a celebration for your family. Now that Wang Clan could provide porridge to you continuously for over 70 years, you could select 7 disciples of Wang Clan to join my Iron-Dragon Sect. If you're talented, this Hermit would teach you the secret method of" Fire Dragon Sutra "!"
After hearing Zhang Tie's words, the head of Wang Clan instantly knelt down and kowtowed towards Zhang Tie for a few times, "Wang Chongde thanks Fire Dragon Hermit on behalf of the forefathers of Wang Clan!"
When he raised his head once again, Wang Chongde's forehead and eyes turned red. He was so thrilled that he started to quiver all over.
"Fine, come here!"
Wang Chongde picked himself up as he patted off the dust on his clothes and walked to Zhang Tie's side in a very respectful manner.
At this moment, the gazes that gathered on Wang Chongde were no longer just filled with envy, they were filled with burning, undisguised shock.
Who would have thought that the Wang Family of Yu Shun Palace in Ning An City would suddenly become like a carp leaping over the dragon gate, just because of the words of the head of the Wang Family.
However, the head of Wang Clan was telling the truth. Many people at present had heard about the family tradition of Wang Clan. Therefore, they knew that the head of Wang Clan was telling the truth.
"The rest of you can leave now!" Zhang Tie called those people. Closely after that, he swung his sleeves and walked into the official manor with those people, telling the others to leave...
