Castle of Black Iron

”Gulas, have you seen that? The price of a set of alchemist’s jewelry made of eternal stone is 4.5 million gold coins. It’s the cheapest alchemist item made of eternal stone. Although our wild bear tribe’s golden sea buckthorn beer has a good market, we could only make over 2 million gold coins a year. Those items are even priced by element crystals; instead of gold. Oh my prophet the great pontiff, how could these guys be so rich? I’m thrilled; if only I could rob here...”

When old Dali spoke, he licked his lips. At the same time, he looked around the lobby stealthily like a thief. His rude eye light contained a bit desire for pillage while being driven by curiosity and prospect. however, old Dali just thought about this as it was the nature that he had formed in Ice and Snow Wilderness. He could not change it no matter where he was. Whenever he saw something good, he would like to occupy it by force without spending a penny. Even though it was in Xuanyuan Hill, old wild bear Dali still had an impulse to do that; however, the old wild bear didn’t dare put it into practice. Because a black iron knight was too common here. Even in this lobby, he could also sense many qis of earth knights. There was an earth knight behind each bank counter. Old wild bear Dali was shocked too much by such a scene.

It was the first time for Elder Gulas and Dali the head of wild bear tribe to be invited to attend the Treasures Meeting held by Gold and Power Law in Xuanyuan Hill by airship. The first stop of the airship was in Yingzhou City, the capital city of Yingzhou Province. Elder Gulas and head Dali were shocked by the prosperity and large population in Yingzhou City, a class-A city. They even treated Yingzhou City as Xuanyuan Hill. After being told that Yingzhou City was just a common class-A immortal city in Taixia Country and there were over 100 class-A cities in Taixia Country, even old wild bear Dali started to be meticulous.

One province in Taixia Country could surpass the entire Blackson Humans Corridor in wealth and overall strength. Therefore, Ice and Snow Wilderness which was in one corner of Blackson Humans Corridor might only equal to a prefecture of Taixia Country in population and overall strength.

Previously, Ice and Snow Wilderness was not qualified to receive the invitation of Golden Roc Bank. As it was the first time for Ice and Snow Wilderness to appear on the client list of Golden Roc Bank in the form of the regime of the Sacred Iceland Kingdom, Golden Roc Bank sent two invitation cards to Ice and Snow Wilderness. After a hot negotiation inside Saint Peterburg, Elder Gulas and old wild bear Dali were finally selected to come to Taixia Country as the political chancellor of the Sacred Iceland Kingdom and head of the Association of Elders and Wild Bear Corps by airship respectively. Of course, the two people were dignified in the Sacred Iceland Kingdom; however, after coming to Taixia Country; especially Xuanyuan Hill, their identities in the Sacred Iceland Kingdome became nothing. They were just ”Commoners” here.

Old wild bear Dali was meticulous; not until he came to Xuanyuan Hill and saw the ”paradise-like place” in the human world did he have a lot of weird thoughts. It seemed to be a strange psychological phenomenon. When one person was constantly stimulated, some absurd nature deep in his mind which was always buried would be exposed.

Yesterday, the old wild bear was thinking about carrying his offsprings to Xuanyuan Hill for a ”good life”. However, after taking a round in Treasures Complex, he became much more ambitious.

Compared to old wild bear Dali, Elder Gulas of the huge bear tribe was more like a sober military chancellor of the country facing the prosperity of Taixia Country and Xuanyuan Hill.

”Have you heard that, just now, a knight-level prince of a major country in a subcontinent wanted to sexually harass a Hua woman; finally, he was kicked to death by an earth knight!” Elder Gulas threw a glance at old wild bear Dali as he said coldly as the chilly wind in the ice field in the north of Ice and Snow Wilderness, ”If you died here, I believe that your sons who are waiting for succeeding your throne must be very happy. Of course, they might have a fierce battle. They would strive to look after those women that you married last year. I will also be responsible for taking your ashes back!”

Old wild bear Dali glared at Gulas, ”Can’t you say something nice?”

”After robbing here, if wild bear tribe and I are not involved and your sons could have a chance to take over your throne, it’s already the best expectation!” Elder Gulas said as icily as before. After hearing Gulas’s words, old wild bear Dali muttered something and finally became silent. Across Ice and Snow Wilderness, only the elders of the huge bear tribe and the elders and heads of the other tribes dared talk with old bear Dali in this way.

When the two people came to the window of Golden Roc Bank, Elder Gulas directly passed a secret metal key which was marked with the number of a safe of Golden Roc Bank into the window. After taking the key, the beautiful Hua girl inserted it into a metal slot in front of her. After a short while, someone else had arrived with a senior metal case of medicaments. He then passed the case to Elder Gulas over the counter. After taking that metal case, Elder Gulas directly turned into another tunnel beside the counter of Golden Roc Bank with old wild bear Dali.

After passing through that tunnel, a garden and a cloister, they came to the front of a 6-storey Hua pavilion. There was a wood in front of that building.

That pavilion covered over 10,000 square meters. In front of that pavilion, there was a stele which was marked with Medicinal Powder Pavilion .

Before entering this building, everyone could sniff the rich medicinal smell from inside the building. After entering it, they found it was like a huge drugstore. There were many compartments and counters in the entire building. Like a senior shopping mall, it was bustling everywhere inside. Many people were looking at the items being sold here. Like that outside, those who wandered inside this building were knights. Additionally, the items being sold here were much more senior than most of the medicinal powders in the Gold and Power Market. Of course, the items here were priced higher. In the Medicinal Powder Pavilion , professional appraisers were waiting for serving guests at any time, which was not free.

Compared to most of the people inside the building, Dali and Elder Gulas in bear hide looked like old farmers selling herbal medicine in the downtown coming from rural areas. The two people looked pretty ”rustic”, which formed a sharp contrast with the senior case of medicaments, causing them to become pretty eye-catching.

The two people came upstairs to the 2nd floor of the Medicinal Powder Pavilion and stopped behind a counter in the east of the 2nd floor. Elder Gulas then opened the case and put the items into the crystal counter carefully. After that, they just waited there for customers.

Two Hua knights soon came to the front of the counter and asked about Elder Gulas. Elder Gulas could speak Hua language fluently. Through a short communication, the two Hua knights realized that they were selling a medicament which could allowfighters below knight level to improve their battle strength rapidly with an extremely low effect. The two Hua knights were interested in it pretty much; however, after inquiring about the price, the two Hua knights shook their heads and left.

The price of one vial of medicament was 1 earth-element crystal. It was definitely a high price for a vial of medicament.

In a few minutes, a few batches of people had arrived to inquire about the price of this medicament; however, none of them would like to buy them. Besides being highly priced, they were not even available for knights. Therefore, very few people were interested in it.

Such a situation had lasted for consecutive 3 days.

Watching the last black-skinned knight with Moxican hairstyle leaving after an inquiry, old wild bear Dali finally couldn’t stand to say, ”Gulas, whether our price is a bit excessive? If we cannot even sell one vial of medicament, we will be here in vain!”

”Source of berserk energy is the specialty of the huge bear tribe, also the only thing that we could sell in this scene. It’s not a common medicament, but a treasure that could allow a fighter to turn into a bear-killing fighter. The other medicaments that could improve one’s battle strength greatly in a short period couldn’t match the effect of our source of berserk energy or have great side effects. Very few of the other medicaments could match our source of berserk energy. We’ve made a great decision to exchange these source of berserk energy for earth-element crystals; this price was fixed by some elders of the huge bear tribe and Sarlin the Pontiff through negotiation. An earth-element crystal might be precious for us; however, in Taixia Country, if we meet someone who favors them, urgently need them and would like to exchange earth-element crystals for them constantly, it would be worthwhile even if we failed 10 times...” Elder Gulas said decisively.

”Is that the will of His Majesty Tsar?” Old wild bear Dali suddenly asked while his eyes turned sharp, ”His Majesty Tsar has left Ice and Snow Wilderness for 5 years. Besides those old guys in your huge bear tribe, nobody could contact His Majesty. Can you tell me the whereabouts of His Majesty Tsar? I always feel that you old guys are cheating me with something. Additionally, you left the hotel on the night two days ago and didn’t come back until daybreak. You don’t smoke; however, when you came back that night, I smelt a low-quality flavor of tobacco from your mouth. I wonder where have you been that night. Don’t think that I’m an idiot. Wild bears are most sensitive.”

Old wild bear Dali indeed had a very terrifying instinct.

Elder Gulas faintly frowned; closely after that, he relieved his frown, ”This is the confidentiality of our Sacred Iceland Kingdom!”

”Even I couldn’t know the secret? Actually, I’m his father-in-law. The child between him and Sabrina should call me grandpa!” Old wild bear whispered while widely opening his eyes and gritting his teeth. Whatever, there was nobody here for the time being. Even if someone heard their talk, nobody would care about that in this place of Xuanyuan Hill.

”You don’t need to ask me about that!” Elder Gulas said in a calm way.

”Why?” Old wild bear asked.

”Without the consent of Sarlin the Pontiff and Elder Toles, I have no right to tell you any news about His Majesty!”

Old wild bear glared at Elder Gulas. Elder Gulas just looked straight into his eyes without feeling shameless. After looking at each other for about 10 seconds, old wild bear Dali suddenly let out a sigh as he lowered his eye light, ”Well, I was just worried about the safety of Sabrina and her child. I know that His Majesty has a lot of secrets. It might not be good if these secrets were exposed to the public. You only need to tell me whether His Majesty is alive or not so that I could comfort Sabrina and her kid when they ask me about that?”

After throwing two glances at the old wild bear, Elder Gulas said, ”Of course, His Majesty is still alive. Nobody in this world could do any harm to him. However, he met a trouble and couldn’t return to Ice and Snow Wilderness for the time being!”

”It’s good as long as His Majesty is alive!” Old wild bear looked around before suddenly lowering his voice in a secret way, ”His Majesty should have Hua bloodline besides those in the Ice and Snow Wilderness, right?”

After hearing that, Elder Gulas instantly threw a sharp glance at old wild bear Dali.

”Don’t look at me in that way. Sabrina’s kid has black pupils; the children of those women in Spencer Clan have black pupils. The kid of that woman in Saint Petersburg also has black pupils. Black pupils have already become the symbolic pupils of the ancient god. However, actually, I’m always thinking that the black pupil is the most evident feature of Hua people. If His Majesty Tsar has the bloodline of Hua people, of course, he could leave such a hereditary feature on his descendants!” Sometimes, old wild bear Dali looked rude; however, he was actually pretty smart.

”I don’t know what you are talking about!” Gulas warned old wild bear by throwing a sharp glance at him. Closely after that, he suddenly turned around and saw 2 men and 1 woman approaching them after going upstairs, ”We’ve got a business...”

Old wild bear Dali also turned around before taking in a deep breath, ”Hush...2 male earth knights and 1 female black iron knight...’

It was Zhang Tie, Mountain Lifting Hermit and Bai Suxian who were walking towards them...
