Chapter 1275: An Enlightennt
Translator: WQL Editor: Aleem
Besides Lu Clan and Gu Clan, Zhang Tie was also familiar with a couple of elders of Yan Clan of Chaoyang Prefecture, Liu Clan of Changshan Prefecture, Xin Clan of Xingbei Prefecture, Sun Clan of Guide Prefecture in Youzhou Province at present. Of course, there were also so strange faces. However, Zhang Tie was familiar with over 3/4 of the 40-odd knights on the airboat.
Although Gu elders felt complexed, the other clans’ elders didn’t think as much as them; instead, they all nodded towards Zhang Tie with smiles as they ca over here to greet Zhang Tie and Mountain Lifting Hermit. Zhang Tie imdiately felt like being a moon surrounded by a myriad of stars. As the clan disciples of many knights on the airboat were Zhang Tie’s indoor disciples, of course, they treated Zhang Tie much better.
Not to ntion that Zhang Tie was an earth knight. In the knight’s world, people won respect by battle strength. As an earth knight and Qianji Hermit who enjoyed a great reputation among humans, of course, Zhang Tie was especially venerated.
Guo Hongyi was also at present.
Zhang Tie rembered that Guo Clan might only have 3 knights. He had not imagined that Guo Hongyi could co here alone.
Being independent among those male knights, Guo Hongyi was distant, arrogant and pretty eye-catching.
When Zhang Tie looked at Guo Hongyi, Guo Hongyi was looking at him too.
Soon after Zhang Tie threw a glance at Guo Hongyi, his arm had been tightly embraced by Bai Suxian and pasted onto her plump and soft breasts. Guo Hongyi turned around at once.
It took them 2 minutes to greet Zhang Tie.
...
“Qianji Hermit and the other two knights of Iron-Dragon Sect have arrived. 38 knights should arrive; however, 43 people actually arrived. Please take a rest for the ti being. We will set for Yanzhou City now!” Zhang Taixuan in provincial governor’s uniform said. Closely after that, the movable cover slowly covered the deck while the airboat left for Yanzhou Province.
As Zhang Tie’s Fire-Dragon Bounty Territory was between Yanzhou Province and Youzhou Province, Zhang Tie, Elder Muray, Elder Muyu, Bai Suxian and Mountain Lifting Hermit boarded the airboat in the end.
Mountain Lifting Hermit and Bai Suxian actually didn’t need to co.
Mountain Lifting Hermit was always alone. Although being an elder of Iron-Dragon Sect, he didn’t have any undertaking in Youzhou Province. Neither did he have any family in Taixia Country. Even if he didn’t co here, nobody would bla him.
Bai Suxian’s another identity was the princess of Lord Guangnan’s Mansion. As Lord Guangnan’s Mansion also responded to the Xuanyuan command by assigning many knights to join the war. Therefore, Bai Suxian didn’t have to co.
Additionally, so clans assigned 3 knights when they only needed to assign 2. With 1 more knight, although it seed that these clans had contributed more to the war, actually, it was just a thod for the clans to protect themselves. Because on the battlefield, 3 clan knights who were familiar with each other could form a 3-in-1 battle formation. Through long-term practice and cooperation, the 3-in-1 formation was far more powerful than average. After forming a 3-in-1 formation, the 3 clan knights could have a much greater viability in the battlefield. That was to say, 3 clan knights could have a greater chance to survive back than 2 clan knights.
After Zhang Taixuan’s words, they all entered the airboat from the deck.
There was also a lobby inside the provincial governor’s airboat. So drinks and food were put on the tables. This lobby still looked very spacious after holding fewer than 50 knights. After Zhang Tie’s group arrived, all the knights who responded to the Xuanyun command within Youzhou Province had arrived.
If it was in peaceful ti, when so many knights across Youzhou Province gathered, they might feel like chatting with each other. However, at this critical mont, of course, they didn’t feel like having a party anymore. It would take them over 3 hours from Fire-Dragon Bounty Territory to Yanzhou City by airboat. After greeting each other and Zhang Taixuan’s brief speech as Youzhou provincial governor, they had taken seats. With closed eyes, they entered ditation with crossed legs or took out earth-elent crystals from their portable storage bags and absorbed them.
On the battlefield, if they could have a bit greater battle strength, they would have a bigger chance to survive themselves. On this occasion, of course these human knights wouldn’t like to waste their ti. Only the personages Zhang Taixuan and Lu Dingzhi seemingly shared the sa interest as they felt like playing the ga of go.
Mountain Lifting Hermit and Bai Suxian also found a place to sit down respectively. Under the “admiring” looks of those people, Mountain Lifting Hermit took out a water-elent crystal from his portable space-teleportation equipnt and started to absorb it.
After finding that all the others were cultivating with crossed legs, Zhang Taixuan and Lu Dingzhi left the lobby too. Zhang Tie called Elder Muray and Elder Muyu out of the lobby by a secret ans.
They didn’t feel strange when the 3 people left. After all, Zhang Tie was the grand elder of Huaiyuan Palace. It was too normal for a grand elder to talk sothing to two elders of the sa clan.
After being far away from the lobby, Zhang Tie drew the two people into a mini-conference. The mont they entered the room, Zhang Tie had pretended to fumble sothing in his coat before taking out sothing and putting an item on each elder’s hand.
“Erm, we’re all elders of Huaiyuan Palace...I got these items from Earth-elent Realm by good fortune. I will...lend it to you. You could have a greater chance to survive on the battlefield with it. When you co back and don’t need it...you could give it back to then!”
After saying that to the two elders, Zhang Tie directly opened the door and left before the two elders made any response.
At the sight of the item in their hand, Elder Muray and Elder Muyu were shocked greatly, ntally and spiritually...
“This is...” Elder Muyu swallowed his saliva forcefully as he looked up at Elder Muray.
Elder Muray’s hand also quivered as he said, “There is sothing inside it...”
In the two space-teleportation finger rings, there were various dicants, food, water and over 200 earth-elent crystals, which could enable a knight to survive 10 years in Taixia Country without any supply. Additionally, there was a brilliant silver secret longsword which was used for close combat floating in the space of each finger ring.
Except for Zhang Tie, only Zhang Taixuan the clan head of Zhang Clan obtained a provincial governor’s space-teleportation finger ring when he took the chair of Youzhou provincial governor.
Zhang Tie gifted 2 space-teleportation finger rings for one ti; additionally, there was a silver secret item in each space-teleportation finger ring. What a generous deed!
Elder Muray and Elder Muyu had not imagined that Zhang Tie could give them such a rarity after calling them out.
“Qianji Hermit could always bring us surprises...” Elder Muyu sighed with emotions as he was completely convinced by Elder Mushen...
“Put it away, it’s Elder Mushen’s sincerity...” Elder Muray also sighed with feeling.
As this equipnt could bring them a greater chance to survive themselves on the battlefield, of course, the two people would not decline it.
The mont Elder Muyu was going to put on the finger ring, he found that Elder Muray directly strung it onto a mithril rune necklace before hiding it under his clothes carefully. Elder Muyu beca hesitated for a second before taking off the finger ring from his finger and hanging it over his neck with a necklace.
Being low-key was always good!
If a black iron knight wore a portable space-teleportation finger ring, it would be too eye-catching as only so powerful elites in very few super clans and top 7 sects of Taixia Country could wear it.
After putting on the finger ring, the two elders smiled at each other before opening the door and returning to the lobby...
...
Zhang Tie and the two elders of Huaiyuan Palace had not noticed that the finger of Zhang Taixuan which wore a colorful finger ring slightly moved when Zhang Tie took out the two space-teleportation equipnt from Castle of Black Iron.
Besides Zhang Taixuan who was walking, nobody else had noticed that.
“Brother Lu, here we are...” Zhang Taixuan pushed open the door of the silent room, revealing one table and two cattail hassocks which were folded with each other.
“Hahaha, it’s my first ti to play the ga of go with brother Taixuan, brother Taixuan, hope you do not reserve your skills...” Lu Dingzhi laughed.
“Brother Lu must have a great psychological diathesis as you’re still interested in playing the ga of go before going to fight demons on the battlefield in the west border of Taixia Country. Through having “hand talk” with brother Lu, I’m also learning how to be quiet in the chaos and nourish my vital spirit like you...” Zhang Taixuan said modestly.
“I’m overpraised; my ability to nourish my vital spirit is far worse than that of the late sages of Taixia Country. Hope you do not laugh at !”
The two people laughed as they started the ga of go...
...
This ti, Zhang Tie didn’t an to show off his wealth by presenting two space-teleportation equipnt and two silver secret items to Elder Muray and Elder Muyu; neither would like to draw the two elders over to his side. He just did that for his conscience. On the battlefield between humans and demons, even knights would be killed easily. As a mber of Huaiyuan Palace, Zhang Tie just expected that the two elders of Huaiyuan Palace could have a greater chance to survive on the battlefields on the premise of his own ability. If Zhang Tie didn’t give any favor to the two elders of Huaiyuan Palace and the two elders finally died on the battlefield, Zhang Tie might be conscience-stricken for the rest of his life.
Zhang Tie knew that Elder Muray had a silver secret longbow; however, the longbow was only suitable for long-distance combat; instead of close combat. Therefore, he directly left a weapon that was suitable for close combat in each space-teleportation finger ring.
Only in a few days, Zhang Tie had gifted 4 space-teleportation equipnt. However, he still had a lot of space-teleportation equipnt. Others would definitely be shocked greatly if they knew that.
After gifting two space-teleportation equipnt to Elder Muray and Elder Muyu, Zhang Tie also returned to the lobby and sat next to Mountain Lifting Hermit with eyes closed. He visualized dozens of abacuses in his mind and started to calculate at the sa ti.
In the next 1 minute, Elder Muray and Elder Muyu ca back too. They also sat sowhere with common looks and started to cultivate quietly.
After a short while, the lobby had been quiet although over 40 knights were inside it.
...
Zhang Tie was carrying out four arithtic operations by 27 abacuses at the sa ti in mind.
After coming back from Ice and Snow Wilderness, Zhang Tie’s spiritual energy roared once again. As a result, Zhang Tie could do 27 tasks at the sa ti.
However, Zhang Tie felt that he had reached the upper limit of “thousands of beads ntal sutra” and his multi-tasking ability. After reaching this step, even though he could visualize more abacuses at the sa ti, he couldn’t operate the 28th abacus at the sa ti.
27 was a miraculous figure.
Hua people said that 9 was the extre of numbers. 27 was three tis that of 9. 27 was also the cube of 3. 27 was a natural number, odd number, composite number and the 7th number of Lucas Sequence. 1/27 was an infinite number of circles whose repetend was 037...
Like that the numbers of fruits bore by the small tree were limited, Zhang Tie knew that multi-tasking skill was also limited.
Through constant attempts, Zhang Tie could also visualize over 1,000 abacuses in his mind at the sa ti, even more. Zhang Tie felt that he still had surplus spiritual energy. However, no matter how much he tried, he could only manipulate 27 abacuses independently at the sa ti. He could have all the other abacuses move; however, he could only calculate 20 kinds of equations by all the other abacuses at the sa ti instead of doing independently.
After trying it for quite a while and confirming that he couldn’t operate 28 abacuses independently at the sa ti, Zhang Tie finally gave it up. The mont Zhang Tie prepared to eradicate those abacuses in his mind, the scene that over 1,000 abacuses gathered with each other suddenly reminded Zhang Tie of sothing.
Zhang Tie ran his spiritual energy while over 1,000 abacuses in his mind moved at the sa ti.
However, this ti, Zhang Tie didn’t use those abacuses to do any arithtic calculations; instead, he gathered those abacuses and turned them into so huge walls being covered with beards of abacuses...
These huge walls imdiately reminded Zhang Tie of those dense calculation gears like sugar-coated haws on sticks in those steam computers...
They were so similar.
‘What if I could visualize those round beards as gears and all the other components of a steam computer? If so, I could visualize a steam computer in my mind.’
An enlightennt flashed across Zhang Tie’s mind...
...
“We’re arriving at Yanzhou City...”
Before Zhang Tie tried it, a voice had sounded...
Over 3 hours had passed so fast...
Zhang Tie opened his eyes at once...
