Volume 42 Chapter 24

In addition to the Lu family and the Gu family, in Youzhou, the elders of the Yan family in Chaoyang County, the Liu family in Changshan County, the Ximen family in Xingbei County, and the Sun family in Guide County, etc., may be one, or two, at most three elders. , most of the faces were somewhat familiar. Of course, there were also quite a few unfamiliar faces, but among the more than 40 knights on the flying boat, less than a quarter of them were the ones Zhang Tie saw for the first time.

The elders of the Gu family were in a complicated mood, but the elders of other families did not think so much. They smiled and nodded at Zhang Tie, with a very friendly attitude, and surrounded them to greet Zhang Tie and Daoist Pengshan. Among the group of knights, Zhang Tie was like the stars holding the moon. Many knights on the flying boat were descendants of Zhang Tie's family, and these elders had a better attitude towards Zhang Tie.

What's more, Zhang Tie is still a knight of the earth, and the world of knights is respected by strength. Zhang Tie's knight rank and the reputation of Qianji Daoist are his status among the crowd, so he is naturally respected.

Guo Hongyi was also there.

Zhang Tie remembered that there seemed to be only three knights in the Guo family, but Zhang Tie never thought that Guo Hongyi would go out in person.

Among the male-dominated knights, Guo Hongyi stood alone, cold and arrogant, quite eye-catching.

When Zhang Tie looked at Guo Hongyi, Guo Hongyi also happened to look over, and the eyes of the two rubbed against each other silently in the air.

Zhang Tie just took another look at Guo Hongyi, and one of his arms was tightly embraced by Bai Suxian, clinging to Bai Suxian's plump and soft chest, Guo Hongyi turned his head away at once.

It took a full two minutes for a group of knight elders to salute Zhang Tie.

...

"The two knights from Qianji Zhenren and Iron Dragon Sect have arrived. There should be 38 knights who came to Youzhou this time in response to the Xuanyuan Order, but there are actually 43. Please come in and rest for a while. We will set off for Yanzhou now." City!" Zhang Taixuan, who was wearing the official uniform of the governor, said, and the movable hatch on the deck of the flying boat slowly slid up, sealing the deck, and the flying boat also started to move, and flew directly towards Yanzhou.

Zhang Tie's candle dragon collar is close to the junction of Yanzhou and Youzhou. Therefore, Zhang Tie and Bai Suxian were also the last ones to board the flying boat.

There are so many knights, including real people like Pengshan and Bai Suxian.

Master Pengshan is Xianyun Yehe. Although he is an elder of Iron Dragon Sect, he has no foundation in Youzhou. He doesn't have any family in Taixia, even if he doesn't come to Xuanyuan Ling, no one can do anything to him.

Another identity of Bai Suxian is the Princess of Guangnan Palace, this time. The Guangnan Palace will also respond to the Xuanyuan Order, and the number of knights sent by the Guangnan Palace,

Even if Bai Suxian is not counted, there will definitely be no less.

There are also extra knights. Some families originally only needed two knights to apply, but three came. The extra knight seems to be the extra effort of the family, but in fact, it is A means for these families to protect themselves. Because on the battlefield. Three family knights who are familiar with each other and trust each other can form a trinity battle formation. Such a trinity battle formation, after a long period of grinding, is far more powerful than ordinary, and can greatly improve the survivability of the three family knights on the battlefield at the same time. Sending three family knights is more likely to come back alive than sending two family knights.

Following Zhang Taixuan's words, everyone walked from the deck into the interior of the flying boat.

Inside the governor-level airship, there is also a hall, in the hall. There are also some food and drinks, and there are less than 50 knights here, and it still looks very empty, after Zhang Tie's arrival. All the knights who came from Youzhou in response to the Xuanyuan order gathered together.

If it was normal, it would be rare for so many knights from families to gather together in Youzhou, and everyone might still be in the mood to chat, but at this time, everyone is naturally not in the mood to gather here. state city. If you take the flying boat, it will take more than three hours. Everyone greeted each other and greeted each other. After Zhang Taixuan said a few words as the governor of Youzhou, everyone found a place to sit in the hall, one by one. Each of them closed their eyes, or meditated, or rested their minds, and some simply took out the earth element crystal from the storage bag they carried with them and absorbed it.

On the battlefield, even for the knights, the chance of saving their lives is higher if they are stronger. At this time, everyone as a knight naturally races against time and does not want to waste his time. Only Zhang Taixuan and Lu Dingzhi seems to have similar tastes. At this time, the two of them are still in the mood to play chess.

Master Pengshan and Bai Suxian both found a place to sit down, and Master Pengshan took out a water element crystal from the space equipment and absorbed it under the envious eyes of the crowd.

Seeing that everyone was practicing meditation, Zhang Taixuan and Lu Dingzhi also left the hall. Zhang Tie made a voice transmission, and let Elder Murray and Elder Mu Yu follow him out of the hall.

No one was surprised that the three left the hall. After all, Zhang Tie was the Supreme Elder of Huaiyuan Hall. It was quite normal for a Supreme Elder and two family elders to say a few words and explain something at such a time.

When he came to the far side of the hall and saw no one around, Zhang Tie found a room like a small conference hall, and pulled the two of them in. As soon as he entered the room, Zhang Tie stretched out his hand in his arms to pretend He took it out, and then each took something and put it in the hands of the two elders of Huaiyuan Hall.

"Well, everyone is the elder of Huaiyuan Hall... I got this thing with good luck in the Earth Element Realm, so I will... lend it to you first, so I can be more sure on the battlefield. When you come back, don't worry. Just give it back to me when you need it!"

After explaining to the two elders with the technique of sound transmission, Zhang Tie opened the door of the room and left without waiting for the two elders of Huaiyuan Hall to object.

Elder Murray and Elder Mu Yu looked at the things in their hands, each of them was shocked...

"This is..." Elder Mu Yu swallowed with some difficulty, and looked up at Elder Murray.

Elder Murray's hand also shook, "There is something inside..."

Within the two space rings, all kinds of potions, food, and water sources have been prepared, and there are more than two hundred earth element crystals, enough for a knight to survive for ten years without any supplies. In addition, there is also a long sword of silver treasure level for close combat in each ring, floating in the space ring with radiance.

Except for Zhang Tie, among all the elders of Huaiyuan Hall. Until now, only Zhang Taixuan, as the head of the family, has obtained a space ring of the governor when he served as the governor of Youzhou.

For such precious space equipment, Zhang Tie gave away two pieces at once. Moreover, there is also a silver treasure in the two pieces of space equipment. If this is not a big deal, there is no such thing as a big deal in this world.

The two elders of Huaiyuan Hall did not expect that Zhang Tie quietly pulled them out to give them such a thing.

"Elder Mu Shen is so famous. As expected, there are always surprises..." Elder Mu Yu sighed, sincerely convinced...

"Put it away, this is the heart of Elder Mu Shen..." Elder Murray also expressed emotion.

With this kind of precious equipment that can greatly increase their chances of surviving on the battlefield, the two of them naturally did not hesitate to be polite.

Elder Mu Yu was just about to put the ring on his hand, but found that Elder Murray directly put the ring on a mithril rune necklace hanging around his neck, and carefully put it away close to his body, so he couldn't see it from the outside After coming out, Elder Mu Yu thought for a while, followed suit, and took the ring off his finger again. Hanging it around his neck with a necklace.

This is called not revealing wealth!

A black iron knight wears a portable space ring. Except for a few super rich families in Taixia and some powerful elite disciples of Taixia's seven major sects, ordinary knights wear it, which is too eye-catching.

After hiding the ring, the two elders glanced at each other and smiled, then opened the door and went back to the hall...

...

The two elders including Zhang Tie and Huaiyuantang didn't notice it just now. When Zhang Tie took out two pieces of space equipment from the black iron castle, Zhang Taixuan, who had just walked with Lu Dingzhi to the door of a quiet room above the flying boat, moved slightly with the colorful finger-wrench.

Except for Zhang Taixuan who was walking, no one else could notice.

"Brother Lu, it's here..." Zhang Taixuan smiled and pushed open the door of the quiet room. A table and two futons in the quiet room are revealed.

"Hahaha, today is the first time I have experienced brother Taixuan's chess skills. Brother Taixuan, please don't hide your secrets..." Lu Dingzhi laughed.

"Brother Lu is about to go to the western frontier to fight against the demons on the battlefield. He still has such interest. It can be said that it is a light weight. Being able to talk with brother Lu today can be regarded as a tranquility in the chaos. Learn how to cultivate the heart and spirit of brother Lu... " Zhang Taixuan said modestly.

"Where, where, compared to Taixia's sages, my ability to cultivate Qi is far behind, I just hope I don't make fun of it!"

The two laughed, and started to play chess in the quiet room...

...

Once again, Zhang Tie took out two pieces of space equipment and two silver treasures, not to show off, nor to win over the elders in Huaiyuan Hall, but just for peace of mind. As a member of Huaiyuan Hall, seeing that the two elders of Huaiyuan Hall were also going to the battlefield, what Zhang Tie wanted was to allow the two elders of Huaiyuan Hall to fight two more times on the battlefield under the premise of his ability. Chance to save lives. If Elder Murray and Elder Mu Yu went to the battlefield like this and died like this without doing anything, Zhang Tie asked himself, maybe he would have a bad conscience for the rest of his life.

Zhang Tie knew that Elder Murray had a longbow hidden in silver in his hand, but that longbow was good for long-range combat but not for close combat, so he simply left two weapons for close combat in the space ring.

In just a few days, Zhang Tie had already sent four pieces of space equipment, but in Zhang Tie's hand, he still had a bunch of space equipment, which would scare people to death.

After giving two pieces of space equipment to Elder Murray and Elder Mu Yu, Zhang Tie also returned to the hall, sat down next to Daoist Pengshan, closed his eyes, and visualized several pieces of space equipment in his mind. The ten abacus began to calculate cracklingly.

A minute later, Elder Murray and Elder Mu Yu also came back, and there was nothing unusual on their faces. After sitting down in the same place, they also started to practice quietly.

After a while, the hall where dozens of knights gathered was unexpectedly quiet.

...

In Zhang Tie's mind, twenty-seven abacus were crackling and performing complex four arithmetic calculations...

After returning from the ice and snow wasteland this time, Zhang Tie's mental power increased dramatically again. The increased mental power made the distraction ability of Zhang Tie's "Thousand Beads Mind and Spirit Art" suddenly increased to the point where one mind can be used twenty-seven times .

After the distraction technique reached twenty-seven uses of one mind, Zhang Tie felt that this had reached the limit of "Thousand Beads Mind and Spirit Art" and his brain's distraction. After reaching this step, no matter how much mental power he had, he could visualize No matter how many abacus there are, there is no way for the twenty-eighth abacus to have the ability to distract.

Twenty-seven is a magic number.

The Chinese say that nine is the ultimate number. The number twenty-seven is exactly three times that of nine. The Chinese say that one life is two, two is three, and three is all things. A natural number is an odd number and a composite number. It is also the seventh number of the Lucas sequence, one-twenty-seventh. It is an infinite number with a cycle number of 037...

Just like the fruits on a small tree are counted, Zhang Tie knows that the distraction technique is also counted, and this number is twenty-seven.

With constant attempts, Zhang Tie can already visualize thousands of abacus in his sea of ​​consciousness at the moment, or even more. Zhang Tie feels that he still has a huge surplus of mental power, but it is just these thousands of calculations. One abacus, no matter what, there are only twenty-seven abacus that can be manipulated with the distraction ability. If you want to make them move, you can do it, but all the abacus that is moved will be linked. Can only calculate twenty kinds of formulas at the same time...

After trying for a long time, Zhang Tie was sure again that his distraction technique could not break through twenty-seven. Zhang Tie finally gave up trying. The sight of thousands of abacus densely gathered together in the sea actually moved Zhang Tie's heart.

As Zhang Tie thought about it, the thousand abacus in the sea of ​​consciousness suddenly started to move.

It's just that this time, Zhang Tie didn't let those abacus do any calculations, but like building blocks, let the abacus that seemed to exist in Zhang Tie's consciousness gather together and become several sides full of Huge walls of countless abacus beads...

These huge walls immediately reminded Zhang Tie of those steam computers he had seen that were densely packed with calculation gears like candied haws strings...

It's really too similar.

If you visualize the round beads in those abacus as gears, and then visualize other structures of the steam computer, then can you visualize a steam computer in your own head?

A ray of spiritual light flashed across Zhang Tie's sea of ​​consciousness and void...

...

"Yanzhou City has arrived..."

Before Zhang Tie tried it, a voice rang in Zhang Tie's ear...

More than three hours passed in the blink of an eye...

Zhang Tie opened his eyes all of a sudden...

...

ps; at the end of the month, ask for a monthly pass! (To be continued.)
