Castle of Black Iron

1174 Old Slave Zhang Gui

'The familiar qi; the strange face of Zhang Tie became dumbfounded!

Zhang Tie was familiar with the qi of this man who kowtowed towards him and called him master. It was the qi of the very earth knight that he captured from the airboat of Han Yuanhong. However, this man's look had changed greatly as if it had been disguised. His original face was thin and long; however, it turned round. He looked like an old neighboring man. 'But why did he call himself this old slave?'

"Previously, this old slave was misled into the evil way and almost lost my life. Thanks to you, my master, this old slave gained a chance to be a good man. This old slave has already understood the universal laws and fortunes. You almost gave this old slave a new life. This old slave might not pay you back for the rest of my life..." The man explained while dropping off tears out of his control.

Zhang Tie listened to his explanation in a dumbfounded look as if he was dreaming. He threw a glance at Heller. Heller blinked his eyes to Zhang Tie. Zhang Tie understood that it was the meritorious service of Heller. 'Now that Heller has already handed this man to me, he must be reliable. Additionally, an earth-knight level old slave would indeed help me a lot. It's an earth knight. Several years ago, Zhang Tie could not even imagine that he would have an earth-knight level slave.

"Ahem...ahem..." Zhang Tie pretended to cough twice as he rubbed his face and said in a perfunctory manner, "Erm...let the bygones be bygones. Hopefully, you could follow my orders in the future!"

"Thanks, master, this old slave is called Xiao Longfei. This name is too sinful. From then on, Xiao Longfei has died, this old slave has gained a new life. Please gift another name to this old slave, master!"

"My surname is Zhang, you will follow my family name. From now on, you're Zhang...Zhang Gui, which means rich!"

Honestly, the name Zhang Gui was really ordinary and extremely vulgar. However, after hearing this name, the one kneeling down in front of him was very happy and solemn as if he had accomplished a religious rite of gaining a new birth. He seriously kowtowed towards Zhang Tie three times once again before saying, "Thanks for the name, master. From now on, this old slave is Zhang Gui!"

"Alright, stand up!" Besides the enemy that was under his foot, Zhang Tie was really not used to see someone kneeling down in front of him. "From then on, no need to kowtow in front of me anymore!"

"Yes, master!" Zhang Gui stood up. Heller waved his hand towards him. Zhang Gui then left the dining hall in a respectful way.

After Zhang Gui left, Zhang Tie turned around and asked Heller, "What happened to him? Did you control him by a secret method?"

Heller shrugged as he replied innocently, "Castle Lord, do you think that one could only be controlled by a secret method? So many people would like to rebel with ambitious ones regardless of the lives of their wives and children; so many people would like have their family members take drugs and commit suicide with them after joining a heresy; so many people in Ice and Snow Wilderness treat Castle Lord as their deity. Do you think that they are also under the control of secret methods?"

"Can you explain it in details?"

"I just talked with him for a few times and showed him the marvelous Castle of Black Iron. After that, he surrendered to Castle Lord completely. As Castle Lord came back with the belongings of Han Zhengfang and Han Yuanhong, after knowing that Han Clan was uprooted by Castle Lord, this man realized that it's his greatest honor to follow Castle Lord. The greatest secret method is to control one's heart. You could control one's heart in many means. Someone one would be convinced by some words. As long as you help him find the truth and belief in his life, he would prostrate himself in worship sincerely."

Heller put it simply; however, his words still reminded Zhang Tie of those believers being brainwashed by false pastors in churches and those unsophisticated youths who believed that they could make a fortune after joining a pyramid marketing organization. 'Heller could definitely brainwash them much more effectively than those false pastors and instructors.'

"Has he been disguised?"

"Disguising is temporary. You could reach the same effect only by using some medicine or making an orthopedic operation; additionally, it's permanent!"

"What about his battle skills and secret methods? Won't they expose his original identity and the relationship between him and Heavens Reaching Church?"

"He cultivates a viscount-level secret method. In the beginning, he was just a member of a small sect in Taixia Country. The small sect has long disbanded. After promoting to a knight, he sought refuge with Han Zhengfang. The viscount-level secret method that he cultivates has lasted for a long time in a large range in Taixia Country. More than one sect and clan have such a secret method. Therefore, nobody could recognize his original identity from the secret method that he cultivates. Additionally, when in Heavens Reaching Church, he just served Han Clan and was always low-key. He even gained some secret methods from Han Clan. Few people know him!" Heller replied.

"Is it okay for him to stay in Castle of Black Iron?"

"No problem. He would not leak your secrets at any time, Castle Lord. Although I've not controlled him using a secret method, I've made a precaution on him. When in need, he would blow up!"

Zhang Tie became reassured, 'Heller is always considerate.' Zhang Tie wanted to bring Zhang Gui out of Castle of Black Iron; therefore, he had to know some details. If he just kept such an earth knight in Castle of Black Iron, it would be too wasteful.

"Is that the surprise that you referred to?"

"It's just a small part. The real surprise is in the parlor of the palace tree!" Heller smiled, "Castle Lord, you need to review your achievement!"

...

It took Zhang Tie less than 1 minute to arrive at the parlor of the palace tree from the dining hall. Although Zhang Tie was curious about that, he still walked casually and calmly towards there. He didn't need to be anxious anymore. After all, the booties were in Castle of Black Iron and would not escape away themselves. He had already slept 4 days; therefore, he didn't need to save such a few seconds.

That item was higher than 2 m. It was a huge polyhedral crystal. Floating in the parlor of the palace tree quietly, it was giving out the brilliance and constantly changing its color like a rainbow. Like huge shadowy, colorful lamps on the stage, it made the entire lobby of the palace tree colorful and dreamlike.

The entire lobby was filled with surging four elements.

"A piece of God's Star!" At the sight of this dreamlike crystal floating in the air, Zhang Tie couldn't stand crying out.

It was too shocking. Zhang Tie had not imagined that the surprise referred to a piece of God's Star. This piece was much larger than that one he saw in Ice and Snow Wilderness; additionally, it had different colors. Of course, it had different functions.

Being thrilled, a possibility occurred to Zhang Tie's mind, 'Was that piece of God's Star which was going to be auctioned in Gold and Power Market purchased by Han Zhengfang and Han Yuanhong?'

Zhang Tie looked at Heller. Heller nodded towards him before saying, "This piece of God's Star indeed comes from the space-teleportation equipment of Han Yuanhong!"

'No wonder few people could see this piece of God's Star since the beginning.' Zhang Tie immediately figured out the reason. As the master and bright golden master of Gold and Power Market respectively, Han Zhengfang and Han Yuanhong were both ambitious. Of course, when they met the piece of God's Star, they would get it in any way. Han Clan was qualified to gain it. How could the original owner of this piece of God's Star withstand the allure and power of Han Zhengfang and Han Yuanhong?

Zhang Tie closed his eyes as he immediately injected his spiritual energy into the piece of God's Star.

Previously, Castle of Black Iron was isolated from the Elements Realm. Zhang Tie could not absorb elements from Elements Realm in Castle of Black Iron. If he wanted to cultivate, he had to absorb element crystals. However, with the existence of this piece of God's Star, Zhang Tie could feel that the entire lobby of the palace tree was filled with surging elements ubiquitous.

After sensing it for a short while, Zhang Tie opened his eyes with a bit doubt in his eyes. Besides Gold and Power Law, each top sect of Taixia Country should at least have a piece of God's Star that could gather a single element and act upon knights effectively. That piece of God's Star in Ice and Snow Wilderness could gather 4 elements into the source of berserk energy; however, this one could form a sea of 4 elements instead of a single one. Although the 4 elements were plentiful, they were very berserk and couldn't be controlled easily. As for the cultivation of knights, this piece of God's Star was definitely more effective than an ordinary elements gathering matrix. However, the elements just mixed with each other instead of being separated. Therefore, the effect of this piece of God's Star would be sharply reduced; perhaps, this was the very reason that the clan which owned this piece of God's Star would like to sell it in terms of the auction.

'Whatever, better than nothing. At least I could continue my cultivation in Castle of Black Iron without elements crystal.'

"Castle Lord, are you thinking about cultivating with this piece of God's Star in Castle of Black Iron in the future?" Heller asked as if he had already known what Zhang Tie was thinking about.

Zhang Tie nodded, "Right, I was thinking about that. This piece of God's Star is indeed a great achievement!"

"If Castle Lord really thinks so, I think you could not make full use of this piece of God's Star. It would be wasteful if you just cultivated with it!" Heller said seriously.
