Castle of Black Iron

Chapter 2 Patrol Yaksha

"Your first task of cleaning Jiying Pavilion for a week has been completed, and you have obtained 5 family contribution points. You now have a total of 55 family contribution points. Is there any other task you want to do here?" In the task announcement hall, a beautiful younger sister standing behind the service window asked Zhang Tie enthusiastically.

"No need, I'll take a look first!" Once this sixth-level mandatory task was completed, Zhang Tie suddenly felt a sense of freedom. From now until he was promoted to the seventh level, his All time is freely assigned by oneself. Zhang Tie liked this feeling of freedom very much.

"Okay, the mission bulletin board in the lobby is over there, if you need anything, you can come and handle it anytime!"

The sisters on the second floor spoke differently from the old scholars on the first floor, and felt more comfortable. Zhang Tie reached out and took the family disc that the beautiful sister in the window had withdrawn from the card slot of the machine. I saw another brother from Lingtian Academy open the door and come out from a room next to the mission hall.

"What is that small room for?" Zhang Tie asked casually.

"That's the place where the family's secret missions are released. The secret missions are not announced to the public, and only one person can go in at a time!"

Secret mission? Zhang Tie's heart moved, "Can I go in now?"

"The minimum level is level seven, and you must complete all the compulsory subjects of cultivation to be eligible to undertake the family's secret mission!"

"OK, thanks!"

Level 7 is not too difficult for Zhang Tie, but when he thinks of the six compulsory subjects for cultivation—basic footwork, basic swordsmanship, shield defense, elementary archery, and vertical lifting—Zhang Tie can't help but sigh. in one breath. According to my current conditions, the gold coins for practicing these compulsory subjects are probably enough, but the family contribution points are pitifully small. It seems that my goal for a long time in the future is to get more family contribution points That's right.

Go to the public mission announcement area over there to see what missions are currently available to get family contribution points!

Thinking of this, Zhang Tie left the service desk, came to the mission bulletin board in the hall, and stopped to watch carefully.

——Island patrol task, patrol the island for eight hours a day, 15 days as a task cycle. You can get 30 family contribution points.

...

——Public security control in the five towns, stationed in the five towns of Qianlong Island all day, responsible for maintaining order in the town and punishing those who provoke troubles, 7 days is a task cycle. You can get 50 family contribution points. This task requires a minimum level of seven.

...

——Dragon Cave Scout, go deep into the interior of the island Dragon Cave. Pay close attention to various abnormalities in the underground world and related intelligence collection. 7 days is a task cycle, and you can get 70 family contribution points and 7 gold coins as rewards. This task requires a minimum of eight levels.

...

Zhang Tie's eyes scanned the columns on the task bulletin board, and frowned slightly. These tasks were either not to his liking, or the level could not be reached temporarily. Suddenly, Zhang Tie found such a task on the bulletin board.

—— Patrol Yaksha, cruising in the sea near Qianlong Island Zhuchang, the task is to expel sharks and other dangerous marine life. When other large marine creatures approach the sea area of ​​Zhuchang, they can warn in time. This task is a 7-day task cycle, and you can get 60 family contribution points. Note - Candidates for this task need to accept on-site assessment.

Ha, that's it! Zhang Tie is overjoyed, this is exactly his ideal task. For Zhang Tie, such a task can not only obtain family contribution points, but also continue to absorb seawater in the sea in an open and honest manner, increase the basic energy reserve of the Black Iron Castle, and Being able to temper the iron fetus is exactly killing three birds with one stone.

Zhang Tie ran to the task management counter again and formally applied for the task of patrolling the sea.

"Although this task can be done at level six, it needs to be tested for water skills. The requirements are very strict. Many people at level seven may not be able to do it. Are you sure you want to apply for this task?" the sister at the counter asked kindly.

"Of course, I'm sure!"

"Well, you can go to the Changfeng Bead Field on the east side of Qianlong Island this afternoon to try it out. If your water skills pass the test, this task will start tomorrow."

"Ok, thanks!"

After handling the business, Zhang Tie turned his head and left the mission release hall on the second floor of Zhongbao. When he went downstairs, he unexpectedly ran into an acquaintance who had met once.

"Zhang Tie..." Seeing Zhang Tie here, Liu Xi burst out laughing, "I've been on a mission outside for the past two days, and I heard that you entered Lingtian Courtyard a week ago, thanks to you , I am about to buy you a drink!"

Thinking of the agreement he had made with Liu Xi when he met Liu Xi in Black Dragon Town a few days ago, Zhang Tie also laughed, "I thought Senior Brother Liu Xi had forgotten about it!"

"Haha, how can you forget about inviting friends to drink? Are you free these two days?"

In Liu Xi's words, Zhang Tie has already heard a hint of friendship. Liu Xi has a good impression on Zhang Tie. Seeing that the other party intends to make friends, Zhang Tie will naturally not put on airs, "I just finished the handover today. I have time for the mission of the Yingying Pavilion these days, and I am naturally there when the senior brother calls!"

Seeing that Zhang Tie miraculously practiced iron-blooded fighting spirit and caused a sensation in the Qianlongtang, his attitude towards him was still the same as the first time he saw him. He was kind and casual, without any arrogance, Liu Xi couldn't help but Take a higher look at Zhang Tie. As long as such a person can leave Qianlong Island, in the family, sooner or later, he will have a bright future and will be reused.

"Okay then, tomorrow night, at Sihai Building in Bailong Town, I will invite a few friends, and we won't go home until we're drunk!" Liu Xi said happily.

"it is good!"

"By the way, have you accepted a new mission?"

"Got it, Xunhai Yasha, I'm going to Changfeng Bead Field to test my water quality!"

"Haha, brother is very capable. In Qianlongtang, there are not many people who can take on this task!"

"I'm just going to try it, I don't know if it will work yet!" Zhang Tie said modestly.

Liu Xi laughed, "Based on the water quality you have cultivated by salvaging aquamarine iron ore in Zhixingyuan, I believe you will be fine, brother!"

The two chatted for a few more words, and after making an appointment to meet for a drink tomorrow night, they separated in the corridor.

After leaving Zhongbao, Zhang Tie didn't immediately go to the Changfeng Bead Field to the east of Qianlong Island to test his water skills, but had an extra heart. First come to the Secret Scripture Pavilion of Qianlongtang.

"It's you brat again?" In the Secret Scripture Pavilion, the old man in a green robe drinking tea saw Zhang Tie appearing ghostly at the door of the Secret Scripture Pavilion, and immediately blew his beard with his eyes wide open. The green-robed old man was slobbering, but he didn't expect to be Zhang Tie's cheap master for a long time, and finally he was choked up by this brat, so the old man's memory of Zhang Tie was still fresh.

"Haha, you look good!" Seeing the old man's face, Zhang Tie quickly flattered him.

The old man lowered his head and flicked the tea in the cup, his mouth tightly closed.

I didn't expect this old man to be so narrow-minded. Zhang Tie cut straight to the point, "I want to learn the intermediate-level diving technique!"

The last time he came here, Zhang Tie knew that the price of the intermediate-level sea diving fish breathing technique was also 50 family contribution points. Compared with the elementary level, the intermediate level of this underwater skill has already involved part of the skill of using battle qi underwater. Therefore, it can only be learned after the sixth level.

Since he wanted to take over the task of patrolling the Yaksha this time, Zhang Tie felt that it would be better for him to upgrade this underwater skill again. This will not only make your underwater skills more refined. It also gave me an extra cover, otherwise, a guy who has only learned the elementary diving and fish breathing technique is too good in water, too abnormal, it will inevitably make people suspicious.

This time, because of the elementary foundation, when learning the intermediate level. It feels a little easier. Zhang Tie learned this skill in less than 40 minutes, and he just needs to gradually become proficient.

With the foundation of intermediate sea diving and fish breath technique, Zhang Tie then left Qianlongtang. Come to the Changfeng Bead Field located on the east side of Qianlong Island, more than ten kilometers away from Qianlongtang.

A large-scale castle with a circumference of more than 500 meters is built on the hillside by the sea here, and the place more than 30 meters below the corner of the castle is the sea.

Surrounding the castle, there are several lower buildings. On the reefs below the castle, there is a place that can barely dock a few small boats. On the sea surface a little farther away from the castle, Zhang Tie saw a few small boats, and the girls from the Zhixing Academy went up and down on those small boats, continuously diving into the sea, and then diving up from the sea with something.

For girls, fishing for pearls in the sea is also a great exercise and test of physical strength and will.

Looking at the big characters on Changfeng Zhuchang above the seaside castle, Zhang Tie entered the castle without hesitation. After finding the manager of the Zhuchang here and explaining his intentions, the manager of the Zhuchang here ordered someone to take Zhang Tie to test the water.

The man took Zhang Tie to a small boat below the castle. The boat pulled up a small triangular sail, and after a while, it came to a place on the sea two miles away from the castle.

"The depth of the water here is about 100 meters. On the bottom of the sea here, there is a small iron squid, which is not slow to swim in the sea. If you go down with this net bag, if you can catch one within two hours Come up Iron Squid, then you are considered qualified! Tomorrow you can come here to formally join the ranks of Patrol Yaksha!"

"By the way, there are several patrolling Yakshas in this sea area now, and I can't be the only one?" Zhang Tie asked while undressing on the boat.

"There are four. In this sea area of ​​Zhuchang, at least four patrolling Yakshas are needed to ensure the safety of the girls from Qianlongtang and our pearl divers from our Zhuchang. Three of these four are Qianlong Tang, one is an old buddy from our bead field, if you pass the test, our old buddy from the bead field can come down to rest, after all, you are old and can’t compare to you young people!"

Zhang Tie nodded.

After taking off his clothes, the man handed over a diving goggle that can cover most of his face, "This is a deep-sea diving goggle, as long as the water depth is less than 400 meters, there is no problem. Wear this to protect your eyes, and the iron squid The ink can hurt your eyes! If you really can't do it, come up, don't be brave, do you need flippers..."

"No need!" Zhang Tie shook his head, and the man gave Zhang Tie a thumbs up.

Zhang Tie put on the diving goggles, tried it with his hands, and felt it fit, so he took the net bag and plunged into the water.

The man who operated the boat lowered the sail and the anchor, sat quietly on the boat, took out a cigarette, looked at a pearl fishing boat in the distance, and narrowed his eyes slightly. The iron squid likes to stay in deep water and is very responsive. It will run away at the slightest sign of trouble. The iron squid is very fast at the bottom of the water, reaching a speed of more than 35 kilometers per hour. If you want to be a Yasha patrolling the sea, you must have the ability to catch the iron squid alive in the water!

Yaksha subduing iron thief-this is the old rule of selecting Yaksha patrolling the sea that has been passed down for hundreds of years. The title of Patrol Yaksha is an honor given to the man with the best water quality by all those who make a living at sea! The so-called water ghost is nothing but a fart in front of Yasha Patrol!

I don't know how long that young man can last underwater before coming up to take his first breath? It's a daunting challenge to catch an iron squid alive in under two hours! The uncle sitting on the boat was smoking a cigarette while waiting for Zhang Tieshang to take his first breath.

But before the cigarette in his hand is completely exhausted...

With a sound of "click", the net bag he handed over to Zhang Tie a few minutes ago appeared in the cabin of the boat. The hull of the boat shook slightly, and Zhang Tie's hand supported the side of the boat, and a head emerged from the water.

"These little things are quite clever. I caught three of them in one go. See if it's this thing..." Zhang Tie smiled harmlessly.

The uncle who was smoking looked at the three iron squids in the net bag in the cabin, opened his mouth in surprise, and the cigarette in his hand fell out all of a sudden... (to be continued...)
