Chapter 299: Strange Solution
Trantor: WQL Editor: - -
While many people were still in the hall discussing the news of demons appearing on the Hurricane teau in the west of Gn Empire, Zhang Tie had already left the hall after skimming the brief intelligence on Waii Sub-continent sent from the n in the recent months.
The brief intelligence could help those in the Breaking Heaven Department stay informed about the events around the continent so that the Breaking Heaven Department was not isted from the outside world. After all, the Zhang n was cultivating elites, not hermits, in the Breaking Heaven Department.
From the brief intelligence in thest month, Zhang Tie found the news that he was truly concerned about — after half a year, the war between Norman Empire and Sun Dynasty in Kalur Region had ended. After that, the Selindor family which ruled Kalur city officially dered the founding of a new country centered around Kalur city with Alexia Selindor officially became the Queen of Kalur.
The new country centered around Kalur City was a typical pocket kingdom. On the founding day, Kalur’s Queen officially dered that they would remain neutral.
Zhang Tie knew that the reason that the Selindor family dared to dere the founding of a new country was because a powerful alchemist was backing their family. Neither Norman Empire nor Sun Dynasty would challenge two powerful enemies at the price of offending an alchemist with terrifying power.
The war in the Kalur region ceased, which was good news for Zhang Tie. Because, his friends in the ckhot City and the Iron-Blood Camp didn’t have to go to battle again. In contrast, the news about demons on the Hurricane teau in the west of Gn Empire was quite bad for Zhang Tie. Zhang Tie thought that if it was just a small demon troop or the demons had truly found the tunnel towards the underground world of the Hurricane teau, it was not a good sign.
The demons were drawing closer, which means the holy war between humans and demons was drawing ever closer. Those big figures among human beings were also preparing for theing holy war, making the sense of aing chaotic world more obvious.
After skimming over the brief intelligence sent by the Zhang n from outside, Zhang Tie knew that there was always a hidden flow on the Waii Sub-continent in thetest months. The tragedy case of the whole family of one senior of the Karol Federal Alchemists Association was killed had not been solved, and the King of the Leica Kingdom was assassinated. After that, because of thepetition for the throne between the infantes and the princes, Leica Kingdom was instantly divided and troubled by civil war.
At the same time, some countries along the Niin River, which was known as the granary of the Human Corridor, were suffering from a rare gue of insects. As a result, all grain production suffered a sharp reduction this year.
Additionally, the previously safe airlines now continuously suffered from dangerous wild beasts’ attacks. Some regr airlines even had to be abandoned. In this case, the airborne traffic connections between countries of the human corridor started to be fragile as many countries even started to dispatch war-time airships to join in the protection of regr airlines...
Zhang Tie went back to the Songtao Pavilion in a poor mood.
After entering his room, Zhang Tie didn’t ignite themp in his room; instead he just meditated in the dark room for almost 10 minutes before silently entered the Castle of ck Iron.
When the dreamlike, colorful fog and the tender, bright light of Castle of ck Iron reappeared in front of Zhang Tie’s eyes, Zhang Tie gradually felt better.
By then, Castle of ck Iron had be more vigorous. Compared to that previous barrennd, the inside of Castle of ck Iron had berger with one moreke of 200,000 square meters. Theke was Zhang Tie’s achievement in thetest months.
In thetest months, Zhang Tie had absorbed too much sea water into the Castle of ck Iron. After the sea water was converted into basic energy storage, it had be a huge figure that Zhang Tie had never imagined. Because of the sufficient amount of stored basic energy, the ambitious Heller used a part of the energy and built a freshwaterke that he had long nned, using the space and terrain renovation function of Castle of ck Iron.
At this moment, at the sight of that shimmeringke in the far, Zhang Tie felt a great difference as the whole Castle of ck Iron made him pleasant and opening.
After all, human beings liked water.
Zhang Tie then came to the side of the small tree and looked at the fruits on it.
Thetest Leakless Fruit would be ripe in 3 days. With 2 more Leakless Fruits, Zhang Tie would ignite the 9th surge point. It would be more difficult for him to realize thatpared to his previous promotions. He needed to ignite 5 more surge points to reach LV 7. It was as difficult as promoting from LV 1 to LV 5. The higher the level was, the more terrifying it would be to promote. Of course, one would also see a substantial growth of their strength and power at each higher level.
Thetest iron-body fruit had be 95% ripe and could be eaten tomorrow. The only fruit that he could eat today was a Fruit of Redemption that formed because of the sand-scale fish that he set free in the fish market of the wharf today.
— Fruit of Redemption — gratitude from sand-scale fish; Fruit of Redemption has be ripe. Usage: Pick and directly eat it. Notice: The fruit cannot be taken out of the Castle of ck Iron. After twelve hours of having been picked off the tree, its energy and vitality will gradually decline.
— This fruit will allow Castle Lord to increase your cold-resistance in water and cold environments and sensitivity to water flow by 8% each.
— After eating it, Castle Lord will be able to increase your cold-resistance in water and cold environments and your sensitivity to water flow by 702% each in totalpared to your earliest condition.
Zhang Tie picked it off and ate it. When he fully digested the fruit and absorbed its effect, Zhang Tie opened his eyes as he found that Heller had been long standing under the stone stairs of the small tree, waiting for him to open his eyes.
"Handsome and Magnificent Castle Lord, wee back to the Castle of ck Iron!" Opening his eyes, Zhang Tie found that Heller was bowing towards him.
The words from a person brought Zhang Tie a greater vanity than a line of written words; however, Zhang Tie faintly felt shameless to be called handsome and magnificent in front of Heller as thetter’s face was too handsome that it even made Zhang Tie jealous.
Zhang Tie rubbed his face as he walked downstairs and said, "Hmm, Heller, from now on, you don’t need to add the prefixes "handsome" and "magnificent", just call me Castle Lord!"
"As you will!" Heller faintly bent his body and looked pretty perfect while Zhang Tie mumbled, "Where are Edward, Aziz and Agan?"
"Because it’s quitete, they’ve already gone to bed! I also realize that when Castle Lord entered..."
Zhang Tie then realized that Edward, Aziz, Agan and Heller were actually like normal people as they also needed food and sleep.
"As there’s no night here, are you used to the living here?"
"Because this space is connected with that world outside through you, in order to make youfortable, the time and environment here is synchronous to that outside. We also have night; but it bes bright when Castle Lord enters, just like a house automatically turns on its light when its owneres back!"
"Is that true?" Zhang Tie suddenly became interested, "Can you show me the night here?"
Having entering Castle of ck Iron for many times, he always saw daytime here, Zhang Tie didn’t know what the night in Castle of ck Iron look like yet.
"Castle Lord wants to see the night here?"
"Yes!"
The moment Zhang Tie replied, without seeing what Heller did, the whole space in the Castle of ck Iron became as dark as outside. The colorful fog in the Castle of ck Iron suddenly became dark, only leaving a faint brilliance on a ball of fog which was suspended in the sky like the moons outside. Even the visibility was almost identical to outside.
His mouth slightly agape, Zhang Tie looked around the dark surroundings as he had not imagined that it could change so fast. However, Zhang Tie felt a sense of curiosity in the darkness of Castle of ck Iron.
"Is the night here always like this?"
"No, the brightness and visibility here is adjustable in the night. They totally depend on the moving trajectories of the 2 moons outside. When the 2 moons outside are full, the night here would be the brightest. When the double crescents arrive in the outside, the night here would be the darkest. The night here is the same as outside." Heller replied.
"Just remain synchronous with the world outside from today on. When I enter, no need to adjust it into daytime when it should be night. Just follow the rule of the nature!" Zhang Tie looked around as he said.
The night in Castle of ck Iron felt especially tranquil and beautiful.
"Fine! As you will!" Heller revealed a smile as he reminded Zhang Tie, "The variety of nt seeds here are not enough. The moreplete the collection of nt seeds is in the Castle of ck Iron; the more aura value will be produced. Increasing aura value would be useful in many aspects in the future. If Castle Lord has any free time, will you bring in some nts or nt seeds. Wend nts and aquatic nts that are suitable to live in fresh water would be preferred!"
"I will try my best!" Zhang Tie became a bit bashful as he replied. Heller, the steward was too responsible. Compared to him, Zhang Tie was really like azy owner who needed to be reminded all the time.
The moment Zhang Tie wanted to leave, Heller further reminded him which stopped him.
"Castle Lord, you must have been too busy recently, you might have forgotten about the vats of solution that you made using essential-energy reiki yeast and fruits. They’vepleted fermented for a while!"
"Argh!" Zhang Tie pped his forehead as he’d almost forgotten about this.
Zhang Tie then rushed to theb and opened one of the huge porcin vat with curiosity...
A strange yet alluring fragrance drifted out of the top of the porcin vat. In a instant, the wholeb was full of the smell.
Zhang Tie became stunned — ’What...what’s this? It smells so good...’
