Chapter 4 The Black Iron Effect

After flying for four hours on the Notre Dame Lake airship, Zhang Tie felt a powerful aura approaching the airship from the sky outside. It was the aura of a knight.

Just like an eagle in the sky can see an eagle soaring in the sky, and a tiger in the forest can smell a tiger walking through the forest, as a knight, he is also very sensitive to the smell of the same kind, especially another knight When unabashedly releasing a powerful fighting spirit.

That breath was still 50 kilometers away from the airship, and Zhang Tie felt it.

"That's a friend of mine. When you flew towards Botan City a few hours ago, he also received the news. He thought I would be in trouble, so he hurried over to help!" Cavalier Knight said, standing Get up, "Wait a moment, I will pick him up, my friend must be very happy to meet a young and powerful knight!"

"Please, I would like to meet this friend of yours too. There is a Chinese saying that a friend in need is a friend in adversity. It is rare to find such a friend who can drop everything and rush to help in a crisis!"

Jialei laughed, feeling that Zhang Tie's words were right to the point - the novel was in his heart, he nodded to Zhang Tie, and then left the lounge. In the blink of an eye, Zhang Tie Tie felt that the Garley knight flew up from the airship and flew towards the place where the breath came from.

Zhang Tie was drinking tea in the lounge, waiting quietly.

Tea from the Eastern Continent is an expensive drink, and Zhang Tie learned a lot during the few hours of communicating with Knight Jialei. The knights in the Blackson Human Corridor like the tea from Taixia the most. Some of the high-grade teas in those teas can not only nourish the knights' body and spirit. Drinking it for a long time can also improve the knights' awareness of natural forces, keep the knight's brain and consciousness in a transparent state, and make it easier to practice meditation. Such tea is the favorite of the knights, and its price. If calculated by weight, a catty of tea like that would require at least a hundred times the weight of gold in exchange for it. Moreover, Knight Tingjialei said that this kind of tea is actually not the best. The best kind of tea is basically impossible to buy through ordinary channels. Only a few. It will flow into some high-level auctions and be auctioned at high prices.

Zhang Tie looked at the pinch of golden-yellow, fine-pointed tea leaves in his teacup, and smiled wryly. This tea, called Jinlin, also came from the Eastern Continent. The value of the small cup of tea he just drank was just three More than ten gold coins. It was my father's salary for the past three years in Heiyan City. Cavalier is not a person who likes extravagance, but he has reached the level of a knight. Even if they don't pursue it intentionally, the resources and things gathered around them, unknowingly, make the knight's life a luxury beyond the reach of ordinary people.

The smell of the tea makes people feel comfortable. After taking a sip, although the tea is slightly bitter, Zhang Tie did find that there is a delicate and special energy and aura in the tea.

Moisturizing one's body and spirit, this nourishing feeling is somewhat similar to the full-effect potion, both have their own advantages and disadvantages, the effect of tea is not as direct and comprehensive as the full-effect potion, but it is more ethereal and natural, In addition to the silent nourishment to the body, Zhang Tie found that after drinking it for a few hours, its effect seemed to make his thinking a little bit more clarified and agile. Drinking this kind of thing for a long time will indeed help the knight's cultivation a little, but the money spent on this tea every year is estimated to be a sum that will make ordinary people stagger.

At this time, Zhang Tie thought of Tang De, that guy boasted to himself that he drank a cup of tea with a few gold coins, and he thought he was bragging.

And the tea that Zhang Tie recalled the most was the small piece of ordinary oriental tea that the fat man Barry gave him to hold in his mouth when he went to find Mrs. Anna. Compared with the golden scales in front of him, the tea leaves are completely different from each other, but for some reason, Zhang Tie always feels that it is the best tea he has ever tasted, and other teas will never be able to replace it.

Thinking of his friends in Heiyan City, Zhang Tie added two spoonfuls of sugar from the table to the tea...

Drinking the tea that became sweet again, Zhang Tie smiled. For ordinary people, sweetness in life can always bring more joy and pleasure than bitterness. Some habits are related to a person's background. , for Zhang Tie, growing up drinking rice brew, he has never thought that tea is delicious, even if the price of a cup of tea here is what his family could not earn by selling rice brew for ten years!

...

In just five or six minutes, the Cavalier came. The one who came with him was a tall and mighty knight wearing a suit of armor. This knight was the town knight of the Beldi Empire, Bayer The national power of the Di Empire is also similar to that of the Remland Empire. The two countries are closely connected and the relationship is relatively harmonious. The royal families of the two countries have also married several times. Friends for many years, the relationship between the two is extraordinary.

The arrival of the Vey knight made the lounge even more lively, and the three knights were together, and there were more topics to talk about.

Carleigh and Veil are both much older than Zhang Tie, and Zhang Tie was only twenty years old when he became a knight. In Zhang Tie, neither Carleigh nor Veil felt the arrogance and arrogance of being young and ambitious. The arrogance from the rich Chinese family, not only that, but Zhang Tie is also very humble and calm, which makes the two people have a good impression of Zhang Tie, and the chat becomes more and more speculative.

Different from the reservedness and restraint of the Cavaliers, Veil, the town knight of the Beldi Empire, has a very straightforward personality, and he can say whatever he has. After talking for more than ten minutes, the knight Veil answered his questions. asked out.

"Galley and I were already more than a hundred years old when we were promoted to knights. Among the knights, we were still young to be promoted to knights at that age. Gale said that you were only about 20 years old. How could you be promoted to knights so quickly? When I came here just now, I asked Jia Lei, but Jia Lei didn't say anything..."

Zhang Tie glanced at Knight Jialei. Knight Gale smiled and kept silent. He promised Zhang Tie that he would not mention the news about the Tower of Time to others. Even if Vey asked, he didn't say anything. The knight's promise was naturally as strong as gold and iron, unshakable.

Zhang Tie smiled, and told Vey what he had just told Jialei.

Like Gale's reaction, Vey heard Zhang Tie talk about the Tower of Time found in the mysterious underground space. I was so excited that I almost jumped up.

"I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it..." Vey directly slapped his thighs a few times, "There is such a mysterious space hidden deep underground in the Kale Mountains. There is actually a Tower of Time in that space..." After saying this, Vey suddenly remembered something, and glared at Gale, "You already knew that, right. I asked you just now but you didn't say anything?"

"I promised Zhang Tie that I would never mention it to anyone after hearing the news. Naturally, I will do what I say!" Jialei said calmly.

"I'm here to do my best for you, and you won't even tell me?" Vey put on a serious face.

"You don't have to come, and I didn't beg you!" Cavalier said with a smile.

The two stared at each other for a moment, and suddenly laughed together. In the smiles of the two, Zhang Tie felt the tacit understanding and trust between the two.

"The Tower of Time will take 60 years to open. Going down in that space is easy and difficult to come out. Even if you are a knight, you may not be able to retreat completely after entering. I come out this time. There are also some other reasons!" Zhang Tie A kind reminder, that place is a pit. Seeing that the two knights are quite upright, Zhang Tie clicked it, lest the two of them really want to visit it on a whim, and it will be too late to regret it.

Jialei and Vey looked at each other and nodded, understanding what Zhang Tie meant.

"Don't worry, I won't tell the third person when this news reaches me. Jialei and I originally planned to explore the underground world together a few years ago, but it's a pity that the two of us as the Beldi Empire And the Knights of the Remran Empire, many times it is not easy to go, so exploring the underground world can sometimes be very rewarding, but at the same time it is also very dangerous, and it is impossible to predict the time it will take..." Vey sighed.

"You wanted to find the Tower of Time before?"

"In addition to the Tower of Time, there are actually many secret treasures in the underground world, and those secret treasures are very attractive even to knights!"

"Secret?"

"Yes, after advanced knights, most of the rune equipment and alchemy equipment except for weapons, especially those rune equipment and alchemy equipment that can improve the knight's own ability, are actually for the knight. If the effects of those equipments can be used on level 15 battle spirits to fully display their effects, then the effects of rune equipment or alchemy equipment on knights will not be as effective. Generally, it will weaken one energy level, and at most it can only exert about one-tenth of the effect!"

Looking at Zhang Tie's face, Vey asked in surprise, "Don't you know the black iron effect of equipment?"

"Zhang Tie has just been promoted to a knight not long ago, and he has never encountered this knowledge before!" Jialei explained for Zhang Tie.

"What is the black iron effect of equipment?" Zhang Tie asked.

"The black iron effect of this equipment is the bottleneck effect of ordinary equipment that appears on the black iron knight. The black iron effect is easy to understand. For example, if you have a tank of water in front of you, you want to increase the water in the tank by 10%, right? easy?"

Zhang Tie nodded.

"Then if there is a river in front of you now, would it be so easy if you wanted to increase the water in this river by 10%? A piece of wet soft mud may double its hardness if it is exposed to the sun for two days. And if a piece of steel wants to double its hardness, then it’s not enough to just expose it to the sun for two days.” Vey explained to Zhang Tie in a very straightforward language that as a knight, he can have the opportunity to teach another Knight, this will also give people a certain degree of satisfaction in their hearts, "After condensing the first chakra, the energy level and power system of the knight are completely different from those of people who have not condensed chakras. Two things, so the rune equipment and alchemy equipment that can work on other people cannot achieve the same effect on knights. For those equipment used by ordinary people, if a certain effect of it can improve ordinary people by less than Ten percent, then, it has almost no effect on knights. Only if the effect is greater than 10 percent on ordinary people, can the 10 percent effect be reduced by ten times on knights. , it has a slight effect on the improvement of the knight's strength, this is the black iron effect of the knight's equipment."

Hearing Wei Yi's explanation, Zhang Tie suddenly realized why he only got three things from two knights outside the city of Moge. What Zhang Tie got from the knight in the Republic of Saipan was a handful of autumn frost. The Black Gold Sword, nothing else, this Autumn Shuang Black Gold Sword is a weapon, its basic performance and use functions are not affected by the knight level, and on the three-eyed knight, Zhang Tie only got one The rose ring and a full moon dragon soul belt.

The effect of the fast recovery rune attached to the Autumn Frost Black Sword is exactly 10%, which is 1% on the knight, while the fast recovery effect of the rose ring is 11%, which increases the effect on meditation It was 15 percent, and these three attributes all exceeded 10 percent. The full moon dragon soul belt is the so-called bronze treasure that can only be used after the knight level, and I still have it in the Black Iron Fortress and haven't brought it out yet.

Zhang Tie was still a little strange at the time. With the ability of a knight, he couldn't even get a little more rune equipment. How could it be so simple for a person to only have such a little thing, and wear a few more rings to improve his strength? Don't you do what you want?

Now after listening to Vey's explanation, Zhang Tie finally understands that it's not that the two knights don't want to wear more things, but because of the black iron effect, there are too few things that the knights can use. The equipment that can improve the effect on people has no effect at all on the knight. Only the top-quality equipment equipped by ordinary people can barely exert one-tenth of the effect on the knight.

"If we advance again in the future, won't the rune equipment that ordinary people can use no longer work on us?"

"That's right!" Jialei nodded, "At that time, except for the underground secret treasure, almost none of the various rune equipment and alchemy equipment made by the human race in this era can work on the Earth Knight. .”

"Earth Knight?" This was the first time Zhang Tie heard the title of a higher-level knight after the Black Iron Knight.

"Of course, the chakra of the earth, which condenses the four elements of earth, water, wind and fire, is naturally called the earth knight!"

Speaking of the earth knights, the eyes of Gale and Vey both showed a color of sacred yearning, which is the direction and the most sacred dream of all the black iron knights...

"Could the magic commander be the knight of the earth?"

"No, I heard that the Demon Commander just stepped into the threshold of the Earth Knight with one foot. If he is really an Earth Knight, probably only half of the ten human knights in the Battle of Ampton will come back alive..."

...

During the chat with Cavalier Cavalier and Cavalier Veil, Zhang Tie quickly enriched all kinds of knowledge and information related to knights. Cavalier Cavalier and Cavalier Veil are veteran knights who have been advanced for a long time. Human knights, Zhang Tie has benefited a lot from the understanding and understanding of the world of two-person knights.

While chatting like this, the flagship of the Royal Airship Troop of the Remlan Empire flew to Bertan City, and landed on a small island next to the Notre Dame Lake adjacent to Bertan City...

This small island, with an area of ​​more than ten square kilometers, is the location of the war palace of the Knights of Galle in the Remran Empire. It is only five or six kilometers away from the royal palace of the Remran Empire.

After being promoted to a knight, once that knight becomes a town knight or legion leader, then that knight's fixed residence can be named as a war palace, forming a team and recruiting knight attendants. The great honor enjoyed... (to be continued...)
