Chapter 1126: Gold and Power Market
Translator: WQL Editor: Aleem
The conflict between Zhang Tie and those rude foreign people and between Zhang Tie and Han Yuanhong at Qian Gate of Gold and Power Market was resolved in only a few words with the arrival of the minister of justice. After the minister of justice left, all the others left too. Those being involved in this event and those onlookers had different feelings. Perhaps only they themselves knew about it.
Han Yuanhong left silently. Before he left, he threw a deep glance at Zhang Tie. Those onlookers threw a bit awe-stricken glance at Zhang Tie when they left; especially so foreign people in special costus kept a distance from Zhang Tie consciously.
After Zhang Tie exposed his identity as earth knight, even though Bai Suxian was beautiful, nobody dared approach Zhang Tie and Bai Suxian anymore. Whatever, very few people in this world could stand an earth-knight’s kick. The guy who was kicked to death was really unfortunate. As a black iron knight, he dared sexually harass an earth knight’s woman. It was nothing different than seeking for death.
After glancing around those leaving onlookers and Han Yuanhong’s back, Zhang Tie recovered his composure too. After exchanging a glance with Bai Suxian, he turned around and spoke to Mountain Lifting Hermit, "Elder brother, I forgot to ask you about that, why are you here?"
"I’m living in the Heavens Seal Hotel in Gold and Power Market. It’s less than 1.5 miles from Qian Gate. When I was going to leave my room, I suddenly heard your voice. I almost thought that I misheard it. Therefore, I ca over here!" Mountain Lifting Hermit, who always looked solemn, revealed a faint smile facing Zhang Tie. He looked Zhang Tie up and down seriously with an amazed look, "I’ve not imagined that you could promote to an earth knight. After promoting to a black iron knight, many people couldn’t promote to an earth knight in their whole lives. I’ve really not imagined that you could catch up with so fast..."
"It’s a long story!" Zhang Tie glanced around those people who were still peeping at him as he told Mountain Lifting Hermit, "Elder brother, now that you’re living not far from here, how about talking about it in your residence? As there’re too many people here, it’s not convenient for a talk!"
Mountain Lifting Hermit threw a glance at the surroundings before nodding, "Right, let’s talk about it in Heavens Seal Hotel!"
Closely after that, Mountain Lifting Hermit led Zhang Tie and Bai Suxian towards Heavens Seal Hotel.
After entering the Qian Gate of Gold and Power Market, the roadsides were covered with stores. There were a great variety of shocking beautiful items inside those stores, including sabers, swords, helts, armors, dicants, rune items, living animals and specins of mutated beasts and various senior crystals. Many people were hawking with alchemists’ and rune equipnt in hands like how peddles held a drum-shaped rattle.
Previously, Zhang Tie had not seen anyone who sold elent crystals; however, after entering Gold and Power Market for less than 1,000 m, Zhang Tie had seen a few stores selling elent crystals. Of course, the prices of those elent crystals were astronomic figures for commoners. At the sight of those figures, one would know why gold and silver didn’t count most for knights.
In the Treasures eting, you could almost buy everything that you could imagine.
What made Zhang Tie speechless the most was a sentence in red lacquer in the advertisent board at the gate of a business group—— the Hereditary throne of the High Mountain Kingdom in Goldenrock Subcontinent for sale; legal demise; after becoming an imperial clan, you would never be bothered by a coup. Those who have been conferred with the rank of nobility officially would enjoy a great discount; if you want it, let’s talk about it face to face inside the store...
Besides Xuanyuan Hill, Zhang Tie estimated that he could not see such a comrcial advisent anywhere else. Otherwise, Zhang Tie would definitely think that soone was making a parody. However, in Xuanyuan Hill, Zhang Tie knew that it was not a parody. Nobody dared make such a joke with so many passers-by at this mont.
When Mountain Lifting Hermit noticed that Zhang Tie paid more attention to that advertisent board, Mountain Lifting Hermit said, "I’ve been to the High Mountain Kingdom in Goldenrock Subcontinent when I was young. This country only covers over 2 million square miles. The entire country is abundant in pure aluminum and golden leaves polos; simple folk custom; beautiful and amorous beauties. When I went there last ti, I had just promoted to a black iron knight. That country even wanted to employ as the No. 1 knight. Their princess..." Mountain Lifting Hermit stopped with a reminiscent look when he ntioned about the princess of High Mountain Kingdom. Finally, he revealed a bitter smile and shook his head.
Watching Mountain Lifting Hermit’s look, Zhang Tie knew that Mountain Lifting Hermit must have an unforgettable love story in Goldenrock Subcontinent. Each knight had a lot of love affairs at a young age, including Mountain Lifting Hermit. Many people might not have experienced too many such love affairs; therefore, they were very curious and longing for that. However, knights had so many such experiences; therefore, they had seen through everything. After dozens of years, even over 100 years, perhaps only a couple of won could stay in a knight’s mory at most.
"What’s wrong with the princess of High Mountain Country?" Bai Suxian asked Mountain Lifting Hermit. Won were always interested in such things unimaginably.
"The princess of High Mountain Country was my friend. We’ve got acquainted with each other for too long. 5 decades ago, I entered secluded cultivation for 10 years so as to promote to an earth knight; when I promoted to an earth knight 10 years later, I found that she had already died on the 6th year since I started my secluded cultivation..."
"She’s dead?" Bai Suxian widely opened her eyes, "Did she..."
"Not like what you imagine. She died naturally. She only lived 121 years due to a poor gift in cultivation. Before she died, she even had soone give a letter and express that she wanted to see for the last ti. However, I was in secluded cultivation at that mont. When I received the letter, it was already a few years later..." Mountain Lifting Hermit said with a sad look.
It seed that this affair was not a beautiful mory for Mountain Lifting Hermit; therefore, Zhang Tie stopped Bai Suxian by throwing a glance at her. anwhile, he changed the topic, "Is there any problem with the royal households of High Mountain Kingdom?"
"In the holy war, it’s normal for small countries to be exterminated. There’s not even a knight-level powerhouse in the royal households of High Mountain Country in the subcontinent. They were living a scary life every day. Actually, they were not happier and safer than common rich people in the major provinces of Taixia Country."
Since they left the Qian Gate of Gold and Power Market, the three people had found that they were followed by two "tails". However, the three people just ignored them. Whatever, Gold and Power Market was not opened by Han Clan. Even though they offended Han Yuanhong, they could still swagger all the way in Gold and Power Market without worrying about any trouble. In the public, Han Yuanhong dared not hurt them at all like that they could not do anything to the two "tails" behind them. They just knew it and didn’t expose it.
They soon ca to the gate of the Heavens Seal Hotel.
This hotel could never be matched by common hotels. Heavens Seal Hotel looked like Lord Guangnan’s Manor in Xuanyuan Hill. It was even a bit more luxurious than the latter. The hotel included so smaller independent courtyards. The walls between courtyards had been specially designed so that outsiders could barely peep inside.
The courtyard of Mountain Lifting Hermit was less than 300 square ters. There was even a small bamboo wood in the courtyard which looked more tranquil.
During the period of Treasures eting, the daily rent of such a small courtyard was 100,000 gold coins. Those who could live in such high-end courtyards were always rich lords coming from subcontinents or knight-level powerhouses of Taixia Country.
There was a tea house inside the courtyard. When they talked with each other, they sat down inside the tea house with crossed legs. At the sa ti, they drank tea and started to chat.
"Younger brother Cui, weren’t you trapped in the hieron’s ruins with that demon earth knight? We didn’t see you co out of there until we left the hieron’s ruins. I even thought that you’ve sacrificed at that ti. Unimaginably, you have promoted to an earth knight. Such a sharp turn almost made confused!"
Only after having two sips of tea, Mountain Lifting Hermit had asked Zhang Tie about his experience out of his concern.
Even though they were in the courtyard of the hotel, Mountain Lifting Hermit knew that this topic was too sensitive; therefore, he asked Zhang Tie and Bai Suxian in a secret wat for the sake of respect and confidentiality. After all, they had just offended the master of Gold and Power Market; additionally, they were in other’s territory; therefore, they had to be alert.
Outsiders were shocked by the news that Zhang Tie had promoted to an earth knight. However, it was more shocking for Mountain Lifting Hermit who had entered the hieron’s ruins and fought together with Zhang Tie inside to hear this news. The feelings between when you heard that a stranger hit the jackpot and that soone familiar hit the jackpot were utterly different.
Mountain Lifting Hermit should be shocked and curious about Zhang Tie’s experience as a knight, Zhang Tie’s friend and comrade-in-arms.
After hearing this question, Zhang Tie pondered...
