Chapter 17 The Fruit of Looting

This dinner was the only reunion dinner that Zhang Tie had in the past three years. His parents were very happy. During the meal, several little guys from the next generation of the Zhang family were running around the table, and the atmosphere was extremely hot. Regardless of their personal relationship, the sister-in-laws at least remained harmonious on the scene, so everyone was very happy after eating a meal.

After the meal, Zhang Tie's sister-in-law took an opportunity to chat with Zhang Tie about Heiyan City, asked Zhang Tie about the current situation of Heiyan City, and heard that Zhang Tie said that Heiyan City had been promised because of the evil disaster. After the Man Empire was abandoned and most of the residents of the entire city had been relocated, the sister-in-law was shocked.

Not only the sister-in-law was shocked, but the parents who were listening on the side were also sighing.

When my sister-in-law was talking to me about Heiyan City, the other two sister-in-laws couldn't get in the way and could only listen quietly and obediently. , but Zhang Tie still felt the subtle relationship between the three women.

The eldest sister-in-law’s family background is very ordinary, and she also opened a tailor shop at home. Her parents are ordinary people, and the two sister-in-laws married behind Zhang Tie are from big families. The family is either rich or expensive. The second sister-in-law Lu Shiyun It is a prominent family in Jinhai City. His family runs a very large-scale ocean-going fishery company. Because they have business contacts with the Golden Crow Merchant Group, they married their eldest brother through family matchmaking.

Although both the third sister-in-law and the eldest sister-in-law are surnamed Wang, this king is not the other king. The third sister-in-law was born in the Shudetang royal family, one of the six major families in Jinyun Kingdom. His family was rich and well-informed, and most of his father and brothers held public positions in Tianxi City, which belonged to Wangjiafeng County.

Under such circumstances, the sister-in-law has a sense of crisis and needs to always find opportunities to consolidate her position in the Zhang family. Zhang Tie can understand it, and is quite cooperative. As a virtuous sister-in-law, Zhang Tie still respects her.

The family chatted for a while, and seeing that it was almost time, Zhang Yang let the women and children go to rest first. Zhang Tie's parents also knew that Zhang Tie and Zhang Yang hadn't seen each other for several years, so there must be many things going on. If he wanted to talk, he stopped pulling Zhang Tie to talk, and went back to his room after explaining a few words.

Zhang Tie and Zhang Yang also moved from the living room at home to Zhang Yang's study.

Coming to my brother's study room, looking at the thick carpet in the study room and the rows of books on the bookshelves in the room, Zhang Tie nodded secretly. At this time, this home finally has some atmosphere.

Zhang Tie found a comfortable sofa and sat down casually, while Zhang Yang made two cups of tea over there, sat next to Zhang Tie, and handed a cup of tea to Zhang Tie.

The special fragrance in the teacup and the glass-like liquid in the teacup gave Zhang Tie a feeling of deja vu, which reminded Zhang Tie of many things at once.

"The ultimate wild spring in the Eastern Continent!"

"You can actually drink it!" Zhang Yang glanced at Zhang Tie in surprise, and then seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, "It seems that you have had a good life outside these few years!"

"I saw it once at the elders of the family!" Zhang Tie smiled, and didn't want to say anything more, but naturally added two pieces of sugar from the sugar cup on the table into the teacup, and stirred it gently Stir.

"It's the first time I've seen such a wasteful way of drinking the best wild spring, and I'll try it too!" Seeing Zhang Tie's actions, Zhang Yang couldn't help laughing. He followed Zhang Tie and put two pieces of sugar into the teacup. Zhang Tie also laughed. After four years, he was finally able to calmly add his favorite sugar to the best wild spring tea in his home.

What is progress, this is progress. The small cup of tea brought by the old brother also represents the strength and status of the Zhang family today.

"I know you have a lot of questions to ask, why don't you ask? I'll talk about it after you finish..." Zhang Tie's elder brother smacked his lips after taking a sip of the sweet wild spring, looking at Zhang Tie.

"What about the people I brought from Black Flame City?"

"Knowing that you didn't come back with those people, I then sent a few masters to Heiyan City to meet you. When I sent people to Heiyan City, there were rumors everywhere in Heiyan City that Master Abian was assassinated." The news that the entire castle of Master Abian has disappeared, no one knows what happened, you disappeared, and there was no news. Then, the jihad broke out, and those people waited for you in Huaiyuan County for a year. Here they I was a little unaccustomed to life, mainly because of the language barrier, and later many of them thought you were dead or had an accident, and they could no longer stay in Huaiyuan County with peace of mind, so I sent them out of the Weiyi subcontinent!"

"Where did they go?"

"Eastern Continent!"

Hearing that the guys from the Divine Fraternity and the girls from the Rose Society had gone to the Eastern Continent, Zhang Tie breathed a sigh of relief. It may not be a blessing to live in a small place. Regarding their own problems, maybe some of them think that they will never see themselves again, and they can only talk about it when they have the opportunity to meet those people in the future. Misunderstanding is misunderstood. .

Only in this way, Zhang Tie knew that when he had the opportunity to see those girls from the Rose Club again in the future, most of those girls would have already had their own lives, and each of them was already a wife and mother. The absurdity of the girls is completely over.

Zhang Tie shook his head and smiled wryly. He didn’t know what day it was. First, it was Teacher Dinah, and then the girls from the Rose Society. When he came back this time, it seemed that he came here to bid farewell to the past. The women around me are leaving one by one. Some of the girls in the Rose Society may not have the chance to see them again. I just hope that they will live happily in the future. After leaving this continent, they can start a new life of their own. Life.

Seeing Zhang Tie's wry smile, Zhang Yang also laughed, "Hehe, don't be like this, in fact, apart from Teacher Dinah who stayed here because she wanted to treat her younger brother, there are three other women who have been staying in Huaiyuan County and said they would Await your return."

"There are three more?" Zhang Tie blinked, feeling a strange feeling in his heart.

"Well, one is Linda, one is Beverly, and the other is Fiona. When I went to pick you up today, I wanted to call all three of them, but I was worried that my parents would accept it all at once. No, so I didn't inform them, just wait for you to come back and give them a surprise!"

"Where are they?"

"Just in Yiyang City, a few women are learning Chinese very quickly, and they jointly opened a clothing store together. The business is not bad. The three of them live together and take care of each other. Beverly and Fiona's family , I have already sent them to the Eastern Continent and asked someone to settle down." Zhang Yang said, and patted Zhang Tie on the shoulder in fear, "Well, these women are not bad!"

Zhang Tie took a deep breath, and suppressed the thought of rushing to find them immediately, but asked Zhang Yang another question, "Aren't the other people who were sent to the Eastern Continent not accustomed to the language? It is estimated that many people They can’t speak Chinese yet, so there’s no problem sending them to the Eastern Continent, right?”

Zhang Yang smiled, "The area of ​​the Eastern Continent is thousands of times that of the Weiyi Subcontinent. Although the Chinese are the majority, there are also some Hebrew-speaking communities in some areas on the edge of the Eastern Continent." Minority-gathering areas, any minority-gathering area has a population of several million, and there should be no problem where they go.

Hearing what his elder brother said, Zhang Tie realized that since he was so old, apart from reading a travel note on the Eastern Continent written by a foreigner when he was in Heiyan City, his knowledge of the Eastern Continent was actually very limited. , Zhang Tie couldn't help feeling a little ashamed.

"What's the Eastern Continent like? Brother, can you tell me about it? I'm ashamed to say that, as a Chinese, I know very little about that continent now."

"Okay, I know about the Eastern Continent because I have been doing business in the past few years. I have come to know a little bit after getting in touch with more people. I will tell you about it!" Zhang Yang raised his head slightly, and longing flashed in his eyes. "There is only one Chinese-dominated country in the Eastern Continent, called Taixia. The entire Taixia is extremely prosperous, the population of the Chinese is innumerable, the land is infinitely vast, and it has nine major divine states and thirty-six upper states. There are seventy-two large states, and there are countless other small and medium-sized states and counties. It is the place where the civilization of the human race flourishes today. The ruling center of Taixia is also the holy land of the Chinese. It is called Xuanyuan Hill. It is said that Xuanyuan Hill is an artifact of the ancient Chinese. It is a treasure unearthed by the Chinese from the underground world after the cataclysm."

"Ah, isn't Xuanyuan Hill a place? Why was it excavated from the underground world?"

"Xuanyuan Hill is a place, and it was also excavated from the underground world. I have never seen it, but I heard people say that Xuanyuan Hill is a huge and mysterious cube, with a length, width and height of nearly a hundred kilometers each. It's still underground!"

Zhang Tie was dumbfounded when he heard that, "Then how is the Eastern Continent now? Is it also at war?"

"The flames of the jihad have not reached the Eastern Continent yet. If the flames of the jihad have reached the central area of ​​human civilization, then places like the Weiyi subcontinent have already been crushed to ashes by the demons. Where are our brothers? Can you sit here and drink tea?"

Zhang Tie thinks about it. Although the Weiyi subcontinent has been turned upside down at the moment, considering the geographical location of the Weiyi subcontinent and the strength of this place in the human camp, the war happening here can only be called a holy war. It's just a prelude to the beginning.

But this prelude has already made Zhang Tie feel heavy pressure, and he has some faint worries about the future, especially after seeing the power of the Demon Army on the front line, Zhang Tie knows very well that the Weiyi subcontinent cannot be defeated this time. The jihad has persisted for too long, and it has only been fought for three years now. A quarter of the land in the Weiyi subcontinent has fallen, countless lives have been destroyed, and the countries on the mainland have been corrupted. Persisting for ten years, Zhang Tie has no confidence in this.

Zhang Tie told Zhang Yang what he had seen and heard and his own judgment in the Cernes war zone, and then looked at his brother seriously, "Our family's future and foundation cannot be built here anyway. Sooner or later, Wei The Yi sub-continent will fall completely, and it is better to leave early than late, so from now on, I hope that you, brother, will quickly prepare for the relocation to the Eastern Continent, and take your parents, sisters-in-law and children away from here as soon as possible. Money can never be earned, even if you lose a little money because of it, it's nothing!"

"Of course I understand this. I started preparing for this a few years ago. In the past few years, the Golden Crow Merchant Group has earned more than 10 million gold coins through the business of full-effect medicine. Other businesses have also made a lot of money. Less, with these funds, no matter where you go, you can start again!"

"Brother, it's best if you think like this. As long as our brothers are here, as long as everyone in the family is here, in the future we can earn a family business that is ten times or a hundred times bigger than it is now, and it will not be a problem!"

"I found that I haven't seen you in recent years, and you are much more confident than before!"

"Haha, brother, how can you be confident? In a few years, you have doubled the size of the family. In another twenty years, when those little guys also become parents, our family will have It looks like a family." Zhang Tie joked.

Zhang Yang glared at Zhang Tie fiercely, "I also said, if my parents were not too worried about you, would I be in a hurry to have so many children? You didn't see my mother, only when I was surrounded by those guys. Only smile a little on the face, and divert a little attention, or I will cry quietly when I think of you!"

Only then did Zhang Tie realize that there was another intention behind the old man's crazy creation of humans in the past few years.

"Some accidents happened this time, I promise it won't happen in the future!" Zhang Tie said with some guilt.

Zhang Yang stood up, went straight to the drawer in the study, took out a silver box, walked back, and put the box in front of Zhang Tie.

"What is this?" Zhang Tie asked Zhang Yang.

"You'll know if you look at it!"

Zhang Tie opened the box, and found that there were two strange diamond-shaped crystal pillars in the box, each about the same size as three fingers, wrapped in a circle of metal structures with runes, shining with blurred brilliance. Kind of like an hourglass, "ah, twin mirror crystals..."

"I have been preparing this thing since you disappeared, and later I got such a set from the Eastern Continent through the Changfeng Merchant Group. This set is the ultimate in remote sensing communication equipment. It is very small. This thing It is a scarce resource, but it is not complicated to use. If you have time to learn how to use it, no matter how far you go, you can keep in touch with me at any time, and give me a reply whenever you have something to do, so you don’t have to let your mother Worry!"

This thing, even in the army of the Norman Empire, is only attached to the division level, so that the division can contact the higher level. Zhang Tie did not expect that his brother would actually get one for himself. Zhang Tie has never liked luxury, but this time , as long as this thing can be connected with family members at any time, no matter how extravagant it is, Zhang Tie thinks it is worth it.

Zhang Tie picked up one of them, and found that there was a thin and strong metal chain on it, which could be easily hung around the neck or tied around the waist. Zhang Tie looked at it and hung it around his neck . Zhang Yang also took the other one and hung it around his neck.

"How much is this pair?"

"A pair of such small-sized top-quality goods cost more than 300,000 gold coins, which are only available in the Eastern Continent!" Zhang Yang said, and handed a booklet in the box to Zhang Tie, "This is this kind of remote sensing communication device. Please take a look at how to use it. In order to make it easier for the two of us to communicate in the future, and to prevent it from being used as a counterfeit thing if it is accidentally lost, we'd better discuss a set and only the two of us in each communication In order to distinguish between true and false key information or passwords to identify each other!"

In the next ten minutes, the two brothers discussed carefully and resolved the problem.

After having the means to contact at any time in the future, both Zhang Tie and Zhang Yang felt relieved all of a sudden.

I heard that before the cataclysm, human beings had many means of long-distance communication. One of the communication devices called a mobile phone can be owned by everyone with just over ten silver coins in today’s value. Zhang Tie thinks about the ten The thing with multiple silver coins is simply incomparable to the necklace worth 200,000 gold coins hanging around his neck.

"By the way, brother, what level are you now?"

"Just at the sixth level, brother, my cultivation talent is not considered good. In the past few years, my main energy has been on business, and I don't have much time to practice, so naturally the progress is not great. It is true that gold coins will not work. At that time, this family still depends on you!" Zhang Yangyu said to Zhang Tie earnestly.

A sixth-level fighter, perhaps in a place like Heiyan City, if there is no jihad and the Zhang family is still living the same life as before, Zhang Yang of this level will serve as a part of the city guards in Heiyan City The errand of a small officer can indeed make the family proud and satisfied, but at this moment, an ordinary sixth-level soldier who has not awakened the blood of his ancestors really has nothing to show off and comfort.

Zhang Tie knew that in order to really support the Zhang family, even if the Zhang family fell down, the old brother must have another identity that is stronger and more awe-inspiring besides the identity of a wealthy businessman. Only in this way can we ensure that no matter when, no matter where we go, there is someone in this family who can shield others from wind and rain, and provoke the burden and responsibility of the whole family.

This is also the main reason why Zhang Tie returned to Huaiyuan County this time.

"Brother, you gave me a remote sensing crystal today, so let me think about it, I will give you something too, but you are not allowed to look at it when I am picking it up, you have to turn around!" Zhang Tieyong joked said in a tone.

"Haha, you are still playing with me. Why can't I see what else you have on your body now?" Zhang Yang laughed haha, thinking that Zhang Tie still had a childlike innocence, and he still liked to joke with himself just like when he was a child.

"I'm going to do a magic trick, brother, can you turn around and let me keep a little bit of mystery!"

Seeing the serious look in Zhang Tie's eyes, Zhang Yang turned around without paying attention, and warned Zhang Tie at the same time, "Let me say it first, little brother, don't deliberately make a toad like you did when you were a child." , Get a snake or something to scare me, I’m the father of several children now, so don’t play such a childish game!”

Hearing my brother talking about his childhood, Zhang Tie smiled. Seeing that his brother had turned around completely, he was mentally moved, and a crystal clear red fruit much smaller than an apple appeared in his hand— —The fruit of plunder! Zhang Tie's reward from Xiaoshu after he killed Master Abian.

Holding the fruit in Zhang Tie's hand, it looked a little bigger than a plum, and there seemed to be a layer of mysterious light flowing in the fruit, making people unable to move their eyes away when they saw it.

"Okay, brother, you can turn around after the magic is done!" Zhang Tie said in a calm tone.

Zhang Yang turned around and saw the fruit in Zhang Tie's hand with a layer of mysterious brilliance like a crystal. He was stunned for a while, and then laughed, "Ha, you still have something hidden on your body, this is you Want a gift for me, it looks pretty, is it made of crystal?"

"This is an edible fruit, I'll give it to you brother!"

"Eat, ah, do you think this is a fruit? It's the first time I've seen such a strange fruit. Did you find this in the wild? It won't be poisonous!" Zhang Yang took the looted fruit in his hand. Looking at it with his hand, there was not much surprise on his face, and he even made a joke with Zhang Tie.

"Before you eat it, brother, can you promise me two things, the first is not to ask me what this fruit is and where it comes from, because I don't want to lie to you, but it will It’s very complicated, you know it’s not necessarily a good thing for this family, just treat it as my secret, and second, don’t tell anyone that you have eaten such a thing!” Zhang Tie looked at Zhang Yang very solemnly and said.

"Ha, it's quite serious, well, I promise you, I won't ask you where the fruit came from, and I won't tell anyone, and your sisters-in-law won't tell, is that okay?" Zhang Yang is still very relaxed at the moment.

Zhang Tie nodded seriously.

"Then I have a taste?"

"It's best to swallow it in one gulp without revealing a drop of juice!"

Zhang Yang smiled, and didn't doubt that Zhang Tie would make something bad for him to eat, so he swallowed the fruit in one bite, chewed a few times with his mouth full, and swallowed the fruit all at once belly.

"Well, the taste is a bit strange..." Zhang Yang smashed his mouth, "It seems to be slightly like...

It's a bit like something, Zhang Yang didn't say anything, his eyes widened all of a sudden, his whole body slowly trembled, at this moment, he felt a lot of things began to emerge in his mind, like He would have been the same, but suddenly the memory became clear—the names of various herbs and plants, the medicinal properties of various animals, the refining methods of various strange liquids and powders, all kinds of making He felt extremely proficient in the operation process, various gene sequences, various formulas, production of various potions and elixirs, treatment methods for many diseases, assessment standards for pharmacists at all levels...

Zhang Yang panted heavily, his eyes were up, his eyelids were trembling, his whole body convulsed from time to time, and he remained in this state for almost an hour before he slowly recovered...ㄅ...

He looked at Zhang Tie, looked at his hands in shock, and said to himself in a trembling and incredulous tone, "Ah...what's going on...I'm...now feeling ...I seem to be an Orange Robe Pill pharmacist, I suddenly know a lot of things, and I learned a lot of ways to make potions..."

Zhang Tie took a deep breath, "Brother, you are indeed an Orange Robe Pill Pharmacist now, and you have mastered all the knowledge and skills that an Orange Robe Pill Pharmacist should master. With this identity, It should make you more capable of protecting this family..."

"That fruit..." Zhang Yang stared at Zhang Tie with wide eyes, as if he understood all of a sudden, all the shock accumulated from birth to today, Zhang Yang felt that he was not there now One percent of strong...

Zhang Tie only nodded slightly.

Zhang Yang was so shocked that he couldn't speak. He wanted to ask Zhang Tie what kind of fruit it was and where it came from. Then he thought of what he had promised Zhang Tie, so he stopped suddenly.

The room remained silent for three minutes, and Zhang Yang, who was panting heavily, regained his strength slightly. Because of his nervousness, his voice was trembling and hoarse at this time, "In a few days... I will go to the Pill Pharmacist Union Complete the certification of herbal apprenticeship, this should not attract attention..."

"Well, I have certified the herbal apprentice first, and then before leaving here, I will go up to another level and be certified as a knapsack pharmacist. The rest will go to the Eastern Continent to complete the certification. The time will be longer, and it will be controlled within five to ten years. I think that even if you complete the certification of Orange Robe Pill Pharmacist within ten years, you are already a genius among geniuses in the eyes of others, too soon would be bad!" Zhang Tie said calmly.

Two hours later, it was past eleven o'clock at night, and Zhang Tie stood in front of the door on the third floor of an apartment building in a high-end community with very good security in Yiyang City, and rang the doorbell of the door in front of him three times in a row. .

"Fiona, go and see who it is..." A gentle voice familiar to Zhang Tie came from inside the door.

"Ah, I got it..." Then there was a sound of slippers rubbing against the floor from inside the door, "It's so annoying, we are all tired for a day, and we are still looking for someone at this time, my favorite grass The jam is not ready yet..."

Hearing the footsteps approaching from inside the door, Zhang Tie took a step back, straightened his clothes, put his face in front of the cat's eyes inside the door, and showed a smile on his face.

A few seconds later, Zhang Tie saw that the cover of the cat's eye in the door was opened, and then—with a bang, a disk in the room fell to the ground and shattered.

"Ah, Fiona, what happened!" Linda's voice came from the room, and then the whole person walked towards the hall.

The door opened, and Fiona, who was wearing pajamas, burst into tears. Without saying anything, she threw herself into Zhang Tie's arms and hugged him tightly. Linda turned out from a room , Seeing Zhang Tie, she froze all of a sudden. She covered her mouth with her hands, and looked at the scene in disbelief, tears bursting out of her eyes.

...
