Castle of Black Iron
chapter-1613

The lobby of the palace tree was almost as large as a football field. Although it looked a bit desolate because of less population, as the most hidden nestle and shelter of Zhang Tie, it felt safe and tranquil for Zhang Tie.

It was absolutely a private space of Zhang Tie. Perhaps each man would like to have such a place where he could do whatever he wanted. In this place, he didn't need to disguise, be scared, care about others' eye lights and gossips, or wear thick outfits. It could be his base, harbor for relaxation and playground. Zhang Tie would not see any annoying people here; if there were, they must stay in the underground prison. Unless he agreed to let them free, they would not appear in front of him for real.

Heller smiled and behaved as modestly and gently as usual. In black swallowtail, white shirt, golden collar, bright leather shoes, plus his look which could match that of Apollo, Heller looked perfect.

Zhang Tie felt like meeting a long-awaited friend and partner; instead of treating Heller as an "artificial intelligent being". Therefore, he gave a big hug to Heller as he patted the latter's shoulder forcefully.

"Thank you, it's great for me to come back!"

Heller was not used to Zhang Tie's passion as he turned a bit stiff when being embraced. He didn't recover his composure until Zhang Tie loosed his grip. "Castle Lord, it's been 120 days since you came to South Border..."

"Aah, really?" Zhang Tie was shocked by Heller's good memory.

"It means that Castle Lord is growing more and more powerful and doesn't always need Castle of Black Iron anymore!" Heller said with a smile.

"Haha, I've not forgotten about you. I've not taken enough fruits from the small tree!" Zhang Tie said as he burst out laughing.

"Castle Lord, you might have forgotten one thing in Castle of Black Iron which perhaps helps you this time!"

"What's that?"

"Castle Lord, have you forgotten about the fiery lotus in the magma lake in the underground karst cave?"

Patting his head, Zhang Tie instantly recalled it, "I almost forgot it. The seeds of fiery lotus could constantly strengthen my lotus-flower eyes! Are the new batch of seeds of fiery lotus ready?"

Heller couldn't stand heaving a sigh, "It seems that Castle Lord has forgotten it. The new batch of seeds of the fiery lotus is ready. But there's something more important..."

"What else?"

"The root of fiery lotus!"

Zhang Tie goggled his eyes at a stroke as he patted his head again. He finally remembered that Heller told him that at least earth knights who had formed earth chakra could absorb the effect of root of fiery lotus. After taking it, an earth knight would enjoy an unimaginable resistance to high temperature and lava. Additionally, the earth knight's protective battle qi could also see a new round of evolution and carried the feature of fiery flame slightly. After that, he could do harm to his enemy when defending the opponent.

"Castle Lord, when you promoted to an earth knight in the Earth-elements Realm, there were not enough roots of fiery lotus in Castle of Black Iron; nor did Castle Lord take them. After a few years, there have been many roots of fiery lotus here. I thought Castle Lord ignored it for the time being as you were busy. Therefore, I didn't warn you. It turns out that Castle Lord has forgotten it for real..."

"Heller, thank you. Without your warning, I wouldn't have remembered it!" Zhang Tie patted Heller's shoulder again as he added, "If roots of fiery lotus could greatly improve my resistance to fiery flames, I would have one more trump card when I face Taiyi Old Man of Taiyi Fantasy Sect..."

"Castle Lord, do you want to take a look in the underground karst cave?"

"You bet!"

Zhang Tie threw a glance at the small tree when he entered the underground tunnel leading to the underground space of the Immortal Mountain with Heller.

The small tree didn't disappoint Zhang Tie as Zhang Tie saw over 100 fruits of redemption from golden uangs, gulf shrimps and hairy shells. It appeared that Paul and his team were still working diligently.

When Zhang Tie came back two days ago, he contacted Paul by remote-sensing communications finger ring. Paul was in Huizhou Province, Taixia Country and couldn't go back to meet Zhang Tie right away. However, Paul told Zhang Tie that he was brewing a big action.

When Zhang Tie thought about the steady improvement of his overall strength, Zhang Tie instantly felt good as he paced up, not to mention those roots of fiery lotus.

A few minutes later, Zhang Tie and Heller entered the underground karst cave beneath the Immortal Mountain again.

The space of this karst cave had expanded many times than that Zhang Tie saw last time. It was fiery all over while the lava in the magma lake was flowing slowly.

The temperature in the karst cave was above 60 degrees Celcius. It smelt like sulfur in the air. However, a special fragrance was drifting in the space which was full of Reiki like a fresh brook in the desert. The moment Zhang Tie sniffed it, he had been highly spirited.

The entire magma lake was covered with dense fiery lotus. Looking into the distance, Zhang Tie saw golden light sparkling in the lake. Like a legendary world, it was full of open fiery lotus flowers. Even Zhang Tie couldn't count the fiery lotus.

The extremely rare fiery lotus in the outside world realized quantitive production in Castle of Black Iron.

Even Zhang Tie felt dazzled about this scene.

Who could imagine that Zhang Tie was racking his mind to take out the fiery lotus which was rare for others?

"How many roots of the fiery lotus are there?" Zhang Tie asked Heller as he swallowed his saliva...
