Chapter 3
The Iron Castle has received the seeds of a brand new sea buckthorn tree!
This is almost the best news Zhang Tie has heard during this period.
"What's the difference between the new seabuckthorn tree species and the previous ones?" He asked Heller a question with consciousness.
"The adaptability of the new seabuckthorn to the environment is 27% higher than that of the previous common seabuckthorn. It has a stronger ability to survive and can live in colder and arid regions. In some areas of the ice and snow wasteland where the seabuckthorn could not survive before, the new seabuckthorn can survive.”
"In addition, the new seabuckthorn's ability to fertilize the soil has also increased by 12, and the soil planted with this seabuckthorn will have higher activity. This is the role of the new seabuckthorn in environmental adaptation and improvement. Because It is a brand-new variety, and this kind of seabuckthorn has more differences from the original seabuckthorn. The fruit of the new seabuckthorn is 15-20 larger than the original seabuckthorn fruit, and the taste is better. A seabuckthorn tree The fruit yield of the new seabuckthorn tree will also be 8-14 higher, and most importantly, the fruits and leaves of the new seabuckthorn tree will also contain a small amount of aura!"
"The fruits and leaves of the new seabuckthorn tree contain a small amount of spiritual energy?" Zhang Tie was slightly surprised.
"Yes, the aura content in the fruits and leaves of the original seabuckthorn tree is very low, almost negligible, but the aura content in the fruits and leaves of the new seabuckthorn tree has increased by more than 300 compared to the original seabuckthorn tree!"
"How long will it take for Black Iron Castle to provide me with seeds of this seabuckthorn tree in large quantities?"
"It will take a month at the shortest. The Black Iron Castle can provide about 15 kilograms of new sea buckthorn tree seeds to the castle owner, and this amount will probably be maintained every month in the future!"
"Now the space utilization of the Black Iron Fortress has reached the extreme. There is not much idle land on the surface. If the Black Iron Fortress can provide the seeds of this new seabuckthorn on a large scale, the land area of the Black Iron Fortress It must be expanded, which requires a huge basic energy reserve!"
Zhang Tie didn't expect the question to come back here after going around in a circle. This question is indeed very annoying. For a giant like the Black Iron Fort, no matter how many things are stuffed into it, it seems that it is not enough for it to digest. In such a situation, Zhang Tie has nothing to do now.
"Do you have any good suggestions to solve this problem?"
"Unless the master of the castle returns to the sea, there is no better solution to increase the basic energy reserves of the Black Iron Castle for the time being!"
"Is this the only way I want to quickly increase the basic energy reserves of the Black Iron Fortress?"
"It all depends on the ability of the castle master himself. If you have the ability to lift a mountain, you can throw that mountain into the pool of chaos. Don't worry that it won't be able to digest it!"
Forget it, just pretend I didn't ask, I'm already very happy to get the new seabuckthorn tree seeds this time, I have to eat one bite at a time, take your time, I still have a lot of problems to solve.
Thinking of this, Zhang Tie gradually calmed down.
"By the way, what's the name of the new seabuckthorn seed?"
"I'm about to ask the castle master to name it!"
"Since this new seabuckthorn appeared for the first time in this era, let's call it black iron seabuckthorn as a commemoration."
"OK!"
After communicating with Haile, Zhang Tie sat alone in the cabin for a while, thinking about the problem in front of him.
Other problems can be put aside first, but the threat of bone-exploding needles is like tarsus maggots, which follow you everywhere, so you must get rid of them.
To get rid of the threat of the Explosive Needle, it seems that there are two ways to choose.
The first way is to find an opportunity to escape immediately, as long as you leave the Gray Eagle Tribe, find an uninhabited land and enter the Black Iron Fort, you can eliminate this threat in a few days. This method seems very straightforward, but there are One question, once the elder of the Gray Eagle Tribe senses that the bone-exploding needle he left on his body disappears in an instant, will the secret of the Black Iron Castle be revealed, and once this secret is revealed, will there be more troubles to follow? As for whether he can continue his strength improvement plan in the ice and snow wasteland, this is a question that must be considered.
Other than that, the second method is to stay here by yourself, quietly consume only a trace of the energy of the bone-exploding needle, even if it is activated by others, it will not threaten your safety, and then use the explosive force in your body to Using the bone needles as a cover, you can safely and boldly get the nine giant wolf seven-power fruits here, and then quickly flee far away, leaving the ice and snow wasteland and returning to the Black Flame City.
The benefits of the second method are obvious, but there is also a problem. My current status in the Gray Eagle Tribe is a bit embarrassing. I don’t think I will be able to stay here comfortably these days. There are also some restrictions on movement. This also requires careful planning. .
Zhang Tie was frowning here, thinking hard, and then, his eyes saw the young man who was standing outside the door and watching him, and then Zhang Tie smiled. Find out what's going on here.
Zhang Tie got out of bed, walked over, and opened the door at once. As soon as the door was opened, the young man who was guarding the door suddenly turned his head, his eyes were full of vigilance, and his hand touched the door at once. On the handle of the knife at the waist.
"You can't leave here, go back!" The young man said to Zhang Tie with a cold face.
"Don't be so nervous, I just opened the door to get some air, it's a bit stuffy inside!" Zhang Tie laughed and returned to the room.
Watching Zhang Tie return to the room, the young man left his hand from the handle of the knife.
Zhang Tie, who found a stool in the room and sat down facing the door, smiled, and taking the opportunity to put his hand into his pocket, he transferred two gold coins from the Black Iron Fort at once.
Zhang Tie tossed the two gold coins in his hands, and the crisp sound of the two gold coins colliding only rang a few times in the room. The young man guarding the door turned his head again and saw Zhang Tie With the two golden coins in his hand, a gleam of light suddenly appeared in his eyes, and he swallowed forcefully.
How did Krell say that - the charm of gold coins can make devils willingly turn into millstones, even devils can't resist the temptation of gold coins, let alone mortals, maybe some people really don't love Money, but such people are estimated to be only a minority, at least the one in front of him is a member of the public from his expression, and his ideological consciousness has not been so high that he treats money like dung.
"I'm really bored here by myself. I want to chat with someone. If you can chat with me, one of these two gold coins will be yours. What do you think!" Zhang Tie directly seduced.
"You don't want me to let you go!" The young man was very vigilant. Although he couldn't take his eyes away after seeing Zhang Tie's two gold coins, his reason still kept him sober.
"Where did you go, why would I want to escape, I just want to chat with you, I will never step out of this door half a step!"
"You don't want me to reveal the secrets of the Greyhawk tribe!" The young man shook his head again.
"You're even more wrong. I'm not a spy or a spy. You don't have to tell me any secrets. Just talk to me about things that everyone here knows. You see, I'm not dangerous, let alone What kind of saboteur, otherwise, Seton wouldn't be relieved that I can still carry the money with me, don't you think so?" Zhang Tie showed a harmless smile on his face.
"What you said... is it true? You can get a gold coin just by chatting with you casually..." The young man suddenly became a little moved.
"Of course, Aurora is really unfortunate. She lost her parents 20 years ago. If it wasn't for Seton and Elder Moko, I don't know how she was able to persevere under the calculations of so many people with ulterior motives. Yes!" Zhang Tie sighed in a tone that knew the situation of the Gray Eagle Tribe very well, "Look, I really just want to find someone to chat with casually!"
Zhang Tie's words completely dispelled the young man's last worries. In the next half hour, during the casual chat, the young man guarding Zhang Tie told almost everything Zhang Tie wanted to know. After seeing Zhang Tie, the situation and details of the entire Gray Eagle tribe became rich and vivid in Zhang Tie's head.
Before she was eight years old, Aurora lived a life like a princess in the Gray Eagle Tribe. She was not only beautiful, but more importantly, she showed a very high talent for cultivation almost from the moment she learned to walk, and was accepted by the tribe. The priest here identified her as a rare cultivation genius in the Gray Eagle Tribe. Her father was the head of the Gray Eagle Tribe, and her mother was the most beautiful woman in the tribe at that time. At that time, some people said that her mother was not only a member of the Gray Eagle Tribe. The most beautiful woman in the whole snow and ice wasteland, it seems that it is not easy to find a woman who is more beautiful than her mother.
Born in this kind of family, Aurora should have lived a life that everyone dreamed of, but the reality is cruel, when her mother's beautiful appearance became more famous than the Gray Eagle tribe in the southern part of the snow wasteland When Aurora's parents went out for a parade with a small number of tribal warriors, the bandits launched Raid, trying to take Aurora's mother away.
Aurora's father died in the robber's raid, and Aurora's mother did not survive, but chose to commit suicide. The purpose of the bandit was not achieved, but Aurora's whole life changed. Although the gang of bandits was eventually wiped out by the joint efforts of the tribes in the southern part of the Ice and Snow Wasteland, Aurora could never return to her previous life.
In the Gray Eagle Tribe, the two tribal elders who had kept their own place began to have other ideas after the death of Aurora's father. After taking the tribal rights into their own pockets, they didn't want to hand it over to a woman. On the outside, there are also many people who covet the fat of the Gray Eagle Tribe, eyeing Aurora, and regard Aurora as the best breakthrough to swallow the Gray Eagle Tribe.
One can imagine the pressure on Aurora living in such an environment.
Needless to say those outside, among the three elders of the Gray Eagle tribe, Juventus and Oliyev are definitely the biggest obstacles for Aurora to inherit the power of the tribe. Juventus now controls the financial power of the Gray Eagle Tribe, and Oliyev controls more than two-thirds of the Gray Eagle Tribe's armed forces through his sons and cronies.
With the support of Seton and Elder Moko, although Aurora occupies the position of the orthodox successor of the Gray Eagle tribe, the power in her hands is actually very limited.
Although there are conflicts between Juventus and Oliyev, there is a tacit understanding in dealing with Aurora and preventing Aurora from taking over the power of the tribe. In the hands of Juventus, Aurora not only does not get the support of a copper plate, but also often has to be given a lot of hard-earned money by Juventus for various reasons. Without money, Aurora is in the Gray Eagles The effort to establish one's own strength and prestige in the tribe is even more difficult. The reason why Aurora became a bounty hunter is not only a proof of her strength, but from another perspective, it is completely helpless, because no one's money can fall from the sky.
If Juventus' method of dealing with Aurora is to draw salary from the bottom of the pot, but still retain a bit of face, Oliyev's persecution of Aurora is almost shameless.
Oliyev often declares that there is only one condition for Aurora to take over the power of the tribe, and that is to choose one of his sons as her husband, because only in this way can the Gray Eagle tribe not be destroyed by others. annexation.
After knowing these things, Zhang Tie finally knew the reason why Seton wanted to keep his mouth shut, because once he told about Elder Moko's attack on him, it would be bad for Aurora's reputation in the Gray Eagle Tribe. Definitely a huge hit.
What qualifications does a woman who has been captured have to be the leader of a tribe? Zhang Tie understood Aurora's situation all of a sudden. Perhaps this freak of himself had missed for the first time since Aurora became a bounty hunter!
In fact, for Aurora, the safest way is to kill herself neatly on the night Elder Moko made a move, and take her head to claim the bounty, so that there will be no future troubles, but that woman But he didn't hurt himself, but let himself live, which made Zhang Tie feel a complicated feeling in his heart.
After understanding these circumstances, the thin back of the woman who was sitting alone in the car and holding her knees alone appeared in Zhang Tie's mind for some reason, and he couldn't get rid of it.
...
Two hours later, someone brought Zhang Tie dinner, which consisted of simple coarse bread, clear water, and a seabuckthorn wine. While Zhang Tie was eating these things, there was a noisy sound of footsteps outside the hut. up.
"What are you doing here!" The voice came from the young man guarding Zhang Tie.
"On the orders of Elder Oliyev, we are here to execute the wanted criminal brought back by Aurora!" An arrogant voice sounded.
"None of you can go in!" The young man's voice was suddenly full of anger.
Unfortunately, the only response to this voice was a sneer, "Give it to me..."
