With the arrival of the chief justice of Taixia Country, the conflict between Zhang Tie and those rude foreigners and Zhang Tie and Han Yuanhong at the gate of Qian Gate of Gold and Power Market was resolved in a few words. The moment the chief justice left, all the others had different moods. Perhaps, only they knew how they felt.
Han Yuanhong left silently. When he left, he threw a deep glance at Zhang Tie. All the other onlookers watched Zhang Tie with a bit more awe; especially those foreigners in bizarre costumes, they even detoured around Zhang Tie and kept a distance from him on purpose.
At this moment, the moment Zhang Tie exposed his identity as an earth knight, nobody else dared approach Zhang Tie no matter how beautiful Bai Suxian was. After all, very few people in this world could resist the kick of an earth knight. The guy who was killed just now was too unlucky. How could a black iron knight touch an earth knight's woman in Xuanyuan Hill? It would be weird if he didn't die.
Watching the onlookers and Han Yuanhong's back, Zhang Tie recovered his composure. After exchanging a glance with Bai Suxian, Zhang Tie turned to Mountain Lifting Hermit and said, "Elder brother, I forgot to ask you, why are you in Gold and Power Market?
"I'm living in the Heavens Seal Inn in Gold and Power Market, which is less than 1 mile away from the Qian Gate. When I was going to leave the inn just now, I heard your voice. I almost thought that I misheard you. Therefore, I hurried over here!" Facing Zhang Tie, Mountain Lifting Hermit revealed a faint smile as he looked at Zhang Tie from his head to toe seriously and sighed with amazement, "I've not imagined that you've really promoted to an earth knight. After promoting to a black iron knight, many people could barely make further progress in their whole lives. I've not imagined that you could catch up with me so fast..."
"It's a long story!" After throwing a glance at those onlookers who were glancing at him, Zhang Tie told Mountain Lifting Hermit, "Now that elder brother lives not far from here, how about we talk about it in your residence? It's not a good place to talk about it as there are too many people here!"
Mountain Lifting Hermit also glanced around as he nodded in agreement, "Fine, let's talk about it in the Heavens Seal Inn!"
Therefore, the three people directly walked towards the Heavens Seal Inn under the lead of Mountain Lifting Hermit.
After entering the Qian Gate of Gold and Power Market, Zhang Tie saw various shops on both sides of the avenue, which contained a great variety of items, including sabers, swords, armors, medicaments, rune items, alchemist items, live animals, specimens of mutated beasts and senior crystals, which made people dazzled and dumbfounded. Many people were holding alchemist items and rune items which were worth hundreds of thousands or even millions of gold coins like peddlers holding rattle-drums at the gates of shops.
Zhang Tie had not seen anyone selling element crystals before. However, after walking less than 1,000 m in the Gold and Power Market, Zhang Tie had seen some shops selling element crystals at an astronomical price that commoners could never reach. At the sight of those figures, Zhang Tie would understand why gold and silver didn't mean anything to knights.
This was the Treasures Meeting. Treasures were everywhere in the entire meeting. Anything that you could not imagine could never be bought here.
What made Zhang Tie speechless was that he saw such a sentence in red paint on the billboard outside the gate of a business group — — "The hereditary throne of High Mountain Kingdom in Goldenrock Subcontinent is for sale. Legal abdication. You will become a royal clan. You will never have to worry about coup d'état. An official lord will take over your position. Additionally, you will have a great discount.
Interested parties, please come in and have a face-to-face talk... "Zhang Tie estimated that he could not see such an advertisement anywhere else. If he saw such an advertisement in other places, Zhang Tie would definitely think that it was a prank. However, in Xuanyuan Hill and Gold and Power Market, Zhang Tie knew that the words on the advertisement were definitely not a prank. Nobody dared make such a prank in front of so many passers-by at this moment.
Watching Zhang Tie glancing at that billboard for a few more times, Mountain Lifting Hermit opened his mouth, "I've been to High Mountain Kingdom in Goldenrock Subcontinent once when I was young. This country only covers over 2 million square miles. The entire country is rich in pure aluminum and golden-leaf pomelo. Its folk customs are simple and honest. Young girls are beautiful and affectionate. When I went there, I had just promoted to a black iron knight. This country even wanted to employ me as their No. 1 knight. Their princess..." Mountain Lifting Hermit stopped when he mentioned the princess of High Mountain Kingdom as he revealed a nostalgic look. Finally, he revealed a bitter smile as he shook his head.
Watching Mountain Lifting Hermit's look, Zhang Tie knew that Mountain Lifting Hermit must have had a story in Goldenrock Subcontinent when he was young. As for knights, all of them had experienced love affairs when they were young. Of course, Mountain Lifting Hermit was not an exception. As for many people, they would feel curious, mysterious and yearning for such a story. However, as for knights, after experiencing such a story for so many times, they would become indifferent about it. After experiencing dozens of years even over 100 years, perhaps only a couple of people could remain unchanged in a knight's memory. Some of them might not even have any...
"What happened to the princess of High Mountain Kingdom?" It was Bai Suxian who continued Mountain Lifting Hermit's words. As for women, they were unimaginably interested in this kind of thing.
"I know the princess of High Mountain Kingdom. She's my friend. We've known each other for a long time. 50 years ago, I entered secluded cultivation to promote to an earth knight. I entered secluded cultivation for 10 years. After 10 years, I found that she had died on the 6th year of my secluded cultivation..."
"Died?" Bai Suxian widely opened her eyes at once, "Is it..."
"It's not what you think. She just reached the end of her lifespan. As she didn't have a good talent in cultivation, she died at 121 years old. Before she died, she even had someone send me a letter. She wanted to see me for the last time. However, I was in secluded cultivation at that time. When I saw that letter, it had been many years..." Mountain Lifting Hermit said with a melancholy look.
It seemed that this event was not a good memory for Mountain Lifting Hermit. Therefore, after throwing a glance at Bai Suxian, Zhang Tie changed the topic, "Is there something wrong with the royal household of High Mountain Kingdom?"
"In the holy war, small countries would be exterminated like bubbles. As the royal household of a High Mountain Kingdom in a subcontinent doesn't have a knight-level powerhouse, the royal household might not be happier and safer than a common rich man in a big province in Taixia Country."
Since the three people entered Gold and Power Market, they had found that they were followed by two "tails"; however, they didn't care about that at all. Fangzheng, Gold and Power Market was not opened by Han Clan. Therefore, even if they bullied Han Yuanhong and swaggered to Gold and Power Market, they didn't need to worry about anything. On the surface, Han Yuanhong would not do anything to them at all. Similarly, they would not do anything to the two "tails" behind them. As long as they were clear about something, they would not do anything to the two "tails" behind them.
As they talked, the three people had arrived at the gate of Heavenly Seal Inn.
Although it was an inn, the residence of an earth knight in Gold and Power Market could never be matched by a common inn. This Heavenly Seal Inn looked as same as Bai Suxian's manor in Xuanyuan Hill, even a bit more luxurious. The inn was divided into many small courtyards, each of which had its own entrance. The partitions of the courtyards were arranged in a special way so that outsiders could barely peep in.
The courtyard of Mountain Lifting Hermit covered less than 300 square meters. There was a small bamboo wood in the courtyard, which looked more tranquil.
During the period of Treasures Meeting, the daily rent of such a small courtyard in Heavenly Seal Inn in Gold and Power Market was 100,000 gold coins. Those who could live in such a small courtyard were either rich overlords from subcontinents or knight-level powerhouses in Taixia Country like Mountain Lifting Hermit.
There was a tea room in Mountain Lifting Hermit's small courtyard. Therefore, the three people sat down with crossed legs and started to chat while drinking tea.
"Younger brother Cui, weren't you trapped together with that earth demon knight in the hieron? Later on, we didn't see younger brother coming out of the hieron ruins. At that time, I thought that younger brother had met a mishap; I've not imagined that younger brother has promoted to an earth knight. Such a twist really confused me!"
After the three people sat down and drank two mouthfuls of tea, Mountain Lifting Hermit had asked the question that he wanted to ask the most.
Even though they were in the courtyard of the hostel, Mountain Lifting Hermit knew that this question was too sensitive. Therefore, he directly asked Zhang Tie and Bai Suxian using battle qi. In this way, he could keep it confidential and not be impolite. After all, the three people had just offended the master of Gold and Power Market. Additionally, they were in the opponent's territory. Therefore, they had to take precautions.
The fact that Zhang Tie had promoted to an earth knight was already very shocking for others, not to mention Mountain Lifting Hermit and the others who had entered the hieron ruins and fought together with Zhang Tie. It was like hearing that a stranger had won the lottery and hearing that someone on one's side had won the lottery.
As a knight and Zhang Tie's comrade-in-arms, Mountain Lifting Hermit had reasons to be shocked and curious.
Hearing this question, Zhang Tie became silent … (To be continued.)
