Volume 43 Chapter 40 Bet
The Chinese New Year's Eve of the year 905 of the Black Iron Calendar came very suddenly, and three days after returning to the Black Water Base, the last day of the year 904 of the Black Iron Calendar slipped away from Zhang Tie's eyes silently......
Last night there was a heavy snowfall, overnight, the land in the territory of the Anxi Governor's Mansion was covered in silver, the east and west sides of Helan Mountain were shrouded in heavy snow, and the rushing Weishui River also began to form a thick layer of ice.
The gloomy weather did not let people see the fairy dragon star rising from the east, only the huge drum sound that shook the ten directions from the Xuanyuan fortress last night made all the Chinese knights stationed here feel a trace of "New Year's flavor" that was almost forgotten in their excitement......
In addition to the knights who routinely patrolled and carried out tasks, on this day in the year 905 of the Black Iron Calendar, the knights stationed at the Xuanyuan Fortress and various bases ushered in a two-day vacation that was rare to relax since entering the war zone.
In the past few days when the demon offensive has slowed down, the knights of Taixia have also ushered in their first New Year in the war zone, and the tense nerves of all the knights have also had a chance to relax.
Because everyone couldn't get too far away from the Xuanyuan Fortress and the various bases, on this day, the bars and various consumption places in the entire Xuanyuan Fortress were full at once.
……
"General Entrusted? Da Sima actually appointed you as the general of the commission? ”
When he heard the words coming out of Zhang Tie's mouth, the wine glasses that Feng Cangwu raised to his lips stopped suddenly, and his eyes widened as he looked at Zhang Tie, who was tilting his head and looking at the scene outside the crystal floor-to-ceiling window with great interest.
The place where the two of them are now is the Tower of Radiance in the Xuanyuan Fortress. This Tower of Radiance is now the liveliest place in the Xuanyuan Fortress. Like the Tower of Radiance in the Lion Fortress, the Tower of Radiance in the Xuanyuan Fortress also has a number of functional areas. Knights in the war zone can exchange materials here, receive elemental crystals, trade all kinds of loot they have harvested on the battlefield, the 81-story Tower of Radiance, and the largest knight bar and restaurant in the entire Xuanyuan Fortress, where knights can spend and relax, of course, for many people. The most attractive thing about the entire Tower of Radiance is not these, but the two huge lists of heroes standing in the hall of the Tower of Radiance.
On the list of meritorious heroes in the Hall of the Tower of Radiance, the records of the top 1,000 knights in the entire theater of meritorious deeds can be seen on the list, and the entire list of heroes is divided into three levels: Black Iron Knight, Earth Knight, and Phantom Knight. It can already cover more than 99% of the knights participating in the war zone, and as long as it is a definite combat achievement, it will be displayed on the list after statistics.
As for the feats of the firmament level. The simple list is already difficult to reflect, because as long as there is a Sky Knight sitting in the base or fortress, it is invisibly a huge deterrent to the demons. Another reason is that the Knights of the Sky are all of high status, and all of them are characters sitting in the center. Every move may be a matter of secrecy, and the Knights of the Skies are ranked high and low here. It's obviously disrespectful, and there is a possibility of leaks, so there is no Celestial Knight level list in the Tower of Radiance.
In addition to the enviable honors, the merit points in the list, in the Xuanyuan Fortress, there are more tangible and difficult to refuse, these merit points can be exchanged for almost anything you want, elemental crystals, wealth, land, and even various high-level cultivation cheats and exercises collected by the Taixia royal family, can be exchanged for merit points.
The highest level of cultivation exercises that can be exchanged for these merit points is a duke-level classic, and people who have become knights naturally cannot change another type of exercise to practice, but if they can be exchanged, that knight can designate his descendants or disciples to receive the empowerment of duke-level cultivation classics, just this can make countless knights and wealthy families rush to it.
Another point, such a list is almost a rehearsal and ranking of the blood knights of the Tianji List in the future, as long as the name can be left on the list, most knights will become nobles among the human race in the future, descendants of Fuyin, and there is the possibility of being crowned marquis, and the people on the list will naturally be the backbone and top figures of Taixia in the future.
Every moment, on the square of the Tower of Radiance, those knights who came here to rank on the list were in an endless stream, and naturally, the various characters on the list also became the focus of attention and discussion.
Every time there is a holy war, Taixia will put up a list of meritorious heroes in the war zone, such a means is simple, direct, rough, and effective, even if it is the characters of the seven major sects of Taixia, in front of the list of heroes, it is inevitable that the vulgar will fight, whether it is for fame, or for profit, or even for an ethereal face and vanity, this list of meritorious heroes can find a reason for you to pay attention to it.
Looking at the knights in the square outside the window who stopped in front of the list and commented on the list one by one, Zhang Tie knew that the object of the merit list copycat he saw in the crystal battle castle turned out to be here......
For such a ranking, if it was before, Zhang Tie might still be equally interested, but now, Zhang Tie is not interested, even if his name is also on the list of Earth Knights, Zhang Tie has no idea.
Zhang Tie's name appeared on the list only before yesterday, Zhang Tie's exploits in killing two earth knights and two black iron knights outside Xiangshan City were reported to Xuanyuan Fortress by Xu Baoan, the general of Wuzhou Che Cavalry who participated in the battle at that time, in addition to Xu Baoan, there were some other witnesses who saw Zhang Tie kill the demon knights at that time, and the merits were conclusive, and after the verification of Xuanyuan Fortress, Zhang Tie's name appeared on the list.
In addition to these, if Zhang Tie could also take out the heads of other demon knights, he would rank even higher on the list of heroes, but Zhang Tie was indifferent.
The realm is different, people's thoughts and needs are different, and some people may be complacent about the ranking on the list, but for Zhang Tie, at this time, such a list ranking does not mean much to him, and he even deliberately does not want to attract too much attention.
It's just that his name appeared on the list, and he indirectly and slapped Taiyi Xuanmen's face fiercely. Now Feng Yexiao can't even find a reason for Wen Qingkong to continue to come out.
……
Feng Cangwu's words made Zhang Tie take his eyes back from the window and smile. "Are you surprised?"
"Of course unexpectedly, if you leave the war zone. Even if this position seems to be beautiful and powerful now, but you have lost the opportunity to make meritorious contributions in the war zone, and in the future, the Tianji List will be knighted with blood, what will you compare with others, you must know that the only qualification for the knighthood of the Tianji List is the merit of killing demons, no matter how good you are as a general. What's the use, even if this holy war Taixia is victorious, and the demons can be driven back underground again, do you think everyone can remember the name of Zuoqiu Mingyue or the name of you as a general! You must not tell me that you don't want to taste what knighthood is like, and you don't want to earn a noble title and origin for your sons......," Feng Cangwu said with a frown.
The two of them are in the bar room on the twenty-eighth floor of the Tower of Radiance, the private rooms here are all places for the knights to rest, drink and chat, and there is a special arrangement in the private room, and the knights don't have to worry about being listened to by people outside, so Feng Cangwu and Zhang Tie have no scruples when they talk.
Feng Cangwu's attitude at the moment made Zhang Tie's heart move. suddenly remembered what Lan Yunxi had told him about the preparations of the Taiyi Xuanmen for this holy war, the Taiyi Xuanmen was already secretly preparing for the "Doomsday Dao Species", and the senior disciples of the Tianji Sect seemed to be still thinking about what would happen after the victory of the holy war, could it be that the two major sects of Taixia would have diametrically opposite judgments on the results of this holy war.
"Does Tianjimen think that Taixia will still exist after this holy war. Can the Terrans still win? Zhang Tie also asked very bluntly.
"Did you hear something?" Feng Cangwu also asked Zhang Tie very bluntly, with the relationship between the two people, there is really no need to communicate around at this time.
Zhang Tie pondered for a moment and said. "I've heard something, there seem to be some people among the seven major sects of Taixia who don't seem to be too optimistic about the outcome of this holy war!"
As soon as I heard Zhang Tie's words. A sneer of disdain floated on the corner of Feng Cangwu's mouth, "Starting from the Cataclysm." Every holy war, there will be people who think they have a far-sighted vision and a keen light who feel that they have seen the future, and the end is coming, but Taixia still survives in the fear of these doomsdays again and again, every holy war, the demon clan is stronger than the last time, but in the same way, Taixia is also stronger than the last time, among the sects in the world, each sect has its own strengths, if you talk about penetrating the heavenly machine, who can compare to my Tianji Gate, as early as more than 20 years ago when this holy war began, several elders in my Tianji Gate worked together to run the Tianji List, There is only one sentence that glimpses through the glimmer of heaven - the Chinese and Taixia are endless, as long as there is this sentence, it is enough for us to have the confidence to fight to the end! ”
"The Chinese and Taixia are endless, this is the heavenly machine obtained by the Tianji Gate?"
"Of course!" Feng Cangwu drank the wine in his own glass in one gulp, and poured himself another glass, "What the elders in the Tianji Gate said, the power of the human heart is infinitely mysterious, the manpower is poor, the heart is infinite, the heavenly machine is the human heart, the human heart changes, if the human heart has vitality, the heavenly machine will have vitality, if the human heart dies, the human heart will die, as long as the Taixia people's heart does not die, the Chinese will not perish, if the Chinese people die, they must first die their hearts, if they die in their country, they must first die in their history, and the future that the people who die see is just an illusion of their mental barriers, just like the blindfolded people cannot see the light, I can only see the darkness, I heard that Han Zhengfang said in the Humble Heart Garden when he looked at the change of the sun, this holy war, the strength of the demon clan is a hundred times stronger than the last time, the Chinese people will die, and the remnants of the Blood Soul Temple dare to talk about the future of the Chinese people, it is really ridiculous, if the Blood Soul Temple can see a trace of heaven, why should they be destroyed in the first place, they can't even see their own fate clearly, and they have become lackeys of the demon race, how can they see the fate of trillions of people in Taiyi......"
"If the Chinese people die, they must die first...... Zhang Tie savored this sentence for a long time, only to feel that a trace of gloom that had been pressed in his heart for a long time was swept away in an instant, "Thank you, I understand......"
"What do you understand?"
"I understand what is the most important thing for me to serve as this commissioning general this time!" Zhang Tie smiled.
"Isn't Da Sima just fancy the candle oil you made and the ability to toss the field, you said that you are an earth knight, just make candle oil, but even farming is a good hand, how do you let others live, and in that position, what else do you want to do?" The wind sighed.
"I want to get something so that ordinary people, or low-level warriors, can also kill knights after mastering it, at least so that Taixia's city can also have the power to resist when facing demon knight-level masters......," Zhang Tie said seriously.
"Do you want to use candle oil, but candle oil is too powerful for knights, too much is useless, do you want to make an alchemy bomb, do you know how difficult it is to make an alchemy bomb?" Feng Cangwu immediately thought of the alchemy bomb.
"It's not!" Zhang Tie shook his head, "But I think there should be other ways besides the alchemy bomb......"
Feng Cangwu looked at Zhang Tie in a daze, then suddenly laughed wildly, and pointed to the square outside, "If you can really make such a thing, I will marry that woman as my wife......"
Zhang Tie looked in the direction pointed by Feng Cangwu, and saw a "female knight" with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, more powerful than a man, with her waist crossed, standing majestically in front of the Black Iron Knight's meritorious list, grinning with a big mouth like Haikou with bright lipstick, full of jewels, and wearing a big red flower on her head, looking at the name on the merit list, she smiled like a rotten pear.
Beside this woman, there were several knight-like guard masters, and the surrounding knights, when they saw this "female knight", they all hurriedly got out of the way one by one, especially where the female knight's eyes were looking, all the male knights instantly turned into quails, and they all hid their faces and fled.
"I hate it, how can these people always use this method to attract people's attention, they won't come to something fresh, people won't come......" The female knight dodged her feet and twisted a little, Zhang Tie couldn't hear the words that came out of the female knight's mouth, but from the lip shape, the knight who had learned lip reading could "hear" what the female knight was saying, seeing the appearance of the female knight, Zhang Tie suddenly felt that the wine in his stomach was churning when he just drank it, this feeling, It's even more uncomfortable than seeing a bearded fierce man walking with his fingers cocked and his ass twisted.
"Who is this woman?" Zhang Tie hurriedly turned his head and asked Feng Cangwu.
"The county lord of the Jingtian Wangfu, the only pearl of the Jingtian Wang, it is strange to say, the Jingtian King has dozens of sons, but there is only such a daughter, so he loves it extraordinarily, this time he came to the war zone, the county lord of the Jingtian Wangfu is going to come to the list to choose a son-in-law, and the Jingtian King has already released his words, and in the future, he will give his baby daughter a dowry, and there will be at least ten Grade A cities......"
"Well, I remember!" Zhang Tie nodded vigorously, looking at Feng Cangwu with ill-intentioned eyes, "If this girl is not married in the future, I would like to try to see if I can be a matchmaker for you, the master of Tianji Sect, with a dignified appearance and a talent, I guess this county lord also likes it!" ”
Feng Cangwu's face changed, "Wait, you won't be serious, right?" ”
"Of course I'm serious!"
"How can you have such crazy thoughts?"
Zhang Tie sighed, "A few days ago, I ate a meal of Gujing tofu in Xiangshan City, and this thought appeared in my mind, and it became stronger and stronger, and I couldn't shake it off......"
"After eating a meal of Gujing tofu in Xiangshan City, you want to let ordinary people and the city master the power to kill the demon knights?" Feng Cangwu seemed to want to see a flower on Zhang Tie's face.
"Yes, isn't it crazy!" Zhang Tie smiled and deliberately asked in a relaxed tone, "You don't want to regret it, it's too late to regret it now, I don't think I heard it!" ”
"A knight's word, the horse is hard to chase!" Feng Cangwu hesitated for half a second, then raised his head proudly, "If you really have the ability to make this thing, even if I serve the tiger with my body, what is there to fear!" ”
"By the way......" Zhang Tie suddenly remembered something, and asked casually, "What do you mean by this general, how did the general in charge of logistics in the Taixia Theater take such a strange name?" ”
Feng Cangwu glanced at Zhang Tie seriously, and then said meaningfully something that made Zhang Tie sound a little familiar, "You should read more books......
Zhang Tie was dumbfounded...... (To be continued.) )
