Chapter 1314: Fuma

It was already the next early morning when Zhang Tie woke up.

After that, Zhang Tie found that he was lying on the bed of a luxurious bedroom which covered over 100 square meters. He then realized that he was still in the airboat of Lord Guangnan’s Mansion.

Zhang Tie drank the most amount of alcohol since he was born yesterday. Zhang Tie didn’t remember how much he had drunk. He only remembered that it was very fervent at that time. He matched the drinking capability of those knights of Lord Guangnan’s Mansion. After defeating 5 people, Zhang Tie finally became dizzy. Closely after that, Bai Suxian accompanied him here.

After sobering up, Zhang Tie checked himself and found that he was very clear-minded. Therefore, he became reassured. Meanwhile, he had not imagined that he had such a great drinking capability.

Although drinking would cause mistakes. Honestly, after having a “cool” drink last night, Zhang Tie found that he was relaxed all over. The bit tiredness that was caused by the 3 days’ escort and those upside-down things seemingly had disappeared. ‘But I shouldn’t drink so much in the future. Otherwise, it might really incur troubles. People say that they would not feel comfortable after sobering up. But I don’t have such a feeling. I wonder whether it’s because that Lord Guangnan Mansion’s liquor is good or that I’m a knight or it’s related to my medium recovery body…’

As he thought about it, Zhang Tie got up and cleansed himself up. After that, he put on his clothes, opening the hatch door and walking out.

The moment Zhang Tie exited his berth, two maids hurriedly lowered their bodies sideways towards Zhang Tie as they greeted him, “Fuma!”

As the two maids greeted him, they stealthily glanced at Zhang Tie out of curiosity. The crew of the entire airboat was talking about that the Fuma had infinite power. Even Meng Chao the one with the greatest strength in Lord Guangnan’s Mansion was defeated by him. Not only that, but the drinking capability of the princess’ husband was also superb. It was said that the princess’ husband himself defeated 5 knights who had the greatest drinking capabilities in Lord Guangnan’s Mansion. After hearing such gossip, the two maids even thought that Zhang Tie was a tough man. However, they had not imagined that Zhang Tie was only a handsome youngster who looked even younger than them.

‘Fuma?’ Zhang Tie couldn’t help but laugh. He had not imagined that his identity as the princess’ husband had been fixed since he came to the airboat of Lord Guangnan’s Mansion yesterday. Zhang Tie didn’t know whether this appellation was fixed by Bai Suxian’s 2nd uncle or these maids, he didn’t mind it. No matter what, he would win this appellation sooner or later. He only felt that appellation was a bit fresh. Zhang Tie then replied, “Hmm, get up!”

After recovering their standing posture, the two maids stealthily glanced at Zhang Tie for a couple of times with blushes. If the princess really married Zhang Tie, these maids would be her dowry and belong to Zhang Tie too. That was to say, they would warm up the bed and serve Zhang Tie to go to bed in the future for sure. However, it was already a lot for them to meet such a good princess’ husband.

“Fuma, do you need inducing resuscitation dew?” A maid asked tenderly.

“Inducing resuscitation dew? What’s that?”

“Inducing resuscitation dew is the specialty in our southern border. It has a marvelous effect on sobering people. No matter how drunk one is, he would be sobered up only with one drop of inducing resuscitation dew. With it, people won’t cause any mistakes. Last night, princess told us to stay here. If there’s an emergency, princess told us to wake Fuma up!” Another maid with almond eyes and rosy cheeks said straightforwardly.

“Hehe, no need. You’ve worked hard…”

“It’s our pleasure…” The two maids hurriedly lowered their bodies at once.

When they talked, Bai Suxian had already come over here from the aisle. At the sight of Zhang Tie, Bai Suxian’s eyes turned bright at once as she said, “Ahh, you’ve sobered up. My 2nd uncle has just sobered up too. He wants me to call you for a breakfast together…”

Yesterday, Bai Suxian’s 2nd uncle was the first one becoming drunk.

…

5 minutes later, in the dining hall where they had a banquet yesterday, Zhang Tie, Bai Suxian and Bai Suxian’s 2nd uncle were eating breakfast together in a quiet and graceful room of the airboat.

All the items on the airboat of Lord Guangnan’s Mansion were carried here from Lord Guangnan’s Mansion. It was said that various supplies would be sent here by airboat every month. Therefore, the breakfast on this airboat was pretty bumper.

Through the competition on strength and drinking capability with Bai Suxian’s 2nd uncle and the myrmidons of Lord Guangnan’s Mansion, it seemed that Zhang Tie had become the real Fuma of Lord Guangnan’s Mansion. When the family members had breakfast together, all of them became relaxed and started to chat about the affairs in the western theater of operations and the south border of Taixia Country as if they had already accepted Zhang Tie as their family member.

“Oh, Zhang Tie, what kind of weapon do you use? After the battle strength competition, yesterday, Meng Chao and the other guys have been wondering what sort of weapon do you use given your superhuman strength. If you have no proper weapon, I could have people in Lord Guangnan’s Mansion bring here some superhuman weapons that the Mansion collected these years for your selection!” Bai Ruicheng, also Bai Suxian’s 2nd uncle suddenly asked.

Soon after Bai Ruicheng opened his mouth, all the surrounding knights had moved their eyes onto Zhang Tie.

After cleaning up his mouth by a piece of napkin, Zhang Tie immediately took out his Thor’s Hammer.

The handle of Thor’s Hammer was almost 2 m in length. The huge, grim head of Thor’s Hammer was like an oil drum. However, the grunge and mysterious grains on Thor’s Hammer and the shimmering light that flashed by the surface of the swarthy body of the hammer reminded the onlookers that it was a precious silver secret item.

Soon after Thor’s Hammer was taken out, everybody had been dumbfounded.

“How heavy is this hammer?” Bai Runcheng asked Zhang Tie after looking at it carefully.

“6,800 kg!”

“Silver secret item?”

“Silver secret item!”

Zhang Tie held Thor’s Hammer weighing 6,800 kg like holding a straw. All the others at present were conquered by Zhang Tie’s great strength.

“Let me have a try…” At the sight of Zhang Tie’s Thor’s Hammer, Meng Chao the silly guy who compared strength with Zhang Tie yesterday immediately sprung up from his seat as he wanted to try its weight. Zhang Tie directly passed it to him.

After taking the Thor’s Hammer, Meng Chao immediately revealed a solemn look. He couldn’t carry it easily. Only after brandishing it for a few times in the lobby, the others at present had felt a strong wind blowing over their faces.

“That’s powerful; that’s too powerful!” Meng Chao screamed as he added, “It’s fine using it on the ground; however, it would be too hard to use it in the sky for me; additionally, my moving speed would be reduced. If I want to beat others by this weapon, my opponents could torture me to death only by striking me with battle qi instead of having close combat with me. Additionally, even though in close combat, I could at most stand 1 hour with this weapon…”

“Let me have a try…” The other earth knights hurriedly swarm up to have a try as it was their first time to see such a heavy silver secret item. Like Meng Chao, although these earth knights could lift and brandish this hammer, they moved much slower than Zhang Tie.

All of them at present had tried the Thor’s Hammer, including Bai Runcheng. Finally, it was passed back to Zhang Tie. Closely after that, Zhang Tie teleported it into his portable space-teleportation equipment.

“How do you feel about this hammer?” Bai Runcheng asked Zhang Tie.

“It’s proper before. However, it feels lighter and lighter lately. I’m almost not accustomed to it.” Zhang Tie said honestly.

‘A 6,800 kg silver secret item feels light!’ All of the knights at present would spurt out a mouth of saliva towards that person if it was told by someone else; however, they all believed in it when it was told by Zhang Tie; because they had already seen Zhang Tie’s performance yesterday.

Bai Runcheng revealed a bitter smile as he shook his head, “After seeing your hammer, I realize that I’ve been overconfident just now. Among all the superhuman weapons collected by the Lord Guangnan’s Mansion, the largest and heaviest one is a silver secret item-level long spear weighing only 4,900 kg. We couldn’t even provide any weapon heavier than this one. Now that you could take this heavy hammer as your weapon, no wonder you could survive the trap of Gao Tianzhao…”

“2nd uncle, do you know where could I get a heavier weapon than my Thor’s Hammer in Taixia Country?”

“How heavy do you need? Do you have any request on the category?”

After thinking for a short while, Zhang Tie replied, “At least 10 tons, over 20 tons is also acceptable. Saber, spear, hammer and sword, each of them works!”

After hearing Zhang Tie’s words, the others at present became speechless. Commoners’ weapons were measured in terms of kilograms; however, Zhang Tie’s weapons were measured in tons. The Thor’s Hammer was already frightening, they really couldn’t imagine how it felt after being hit by a 10-20 ton weapon. Actually, Zhang Tie was telling truth as the Thor’s Hammer was really too light for him. As for Zhang Tie, the Thor’s Hammer couldn’t completely exert the power of his kinetic strike in close combat; because 10 ton was just the most conservative estimation given the constant fruits of redemption from the gratitude of golden uangs and the surging strength after promoting to a shadow knight.

“It’s easy for us to make heavier weapons using abyss iron, mithril and alloys of all kinds. However, their destructive strength could never match that of this silver secret item. Only a silver secret item could match your request. You could find silver secret items only in two places, “First, Earth-element Realm; second, Taiyi City. You might not find a silver secret item heavier than Thor’s Hammer for hundreds of years; therefore, I’m afraid that you could only find it in Taiyi City.”

“Taiyi City?”

“Right, Taiyi City is the largest trading center of secret item pearls among humans. In Taiyi City, there’re numerous secret item pearls. Most of the secret item pearls that major sects and clans and individual knights of Taixia Country gain from other continents and subcontinents are finally gathered in Taiyi City for sale. I remember that a powerful heavy sword weighing 8,800 kg was opened from a secret item pearl in Taiyi City 140 years ago. Later on, this heavy sword was bought by Taiyi Fantasy Sect. They even named it as Immortal Taiyi Sword. As a trump card of Taiyi Fantasy Sect, it’s preserved by Immortal Xuanyuan, the head of Taiyi Fantasy Sect. The 4,900 kg long spear collected by Lord Guangnan’s Mansion was also gained from Taiyi City. Someone would find something special from a secret item pearl in each decade. Therefore, there might be a heavier silver secret item there. However, it depends on your luck if you want to gain a proper silver secret item from Taiyi City besides your own ability…”

“Thanks for your suggestion, 2nd uncle. If so, I should try my luck in Taiyi City…” Zhang Tie smiled.

“All the secret item pearls in Taiyi City are traded in terms of element crystals. You’d better invite some doctors who were proficient in the learning of secret items for a higher possibility. Lord Guangnan’s Mansion has a store in Taiyi City. If you go there, you could go for the boss of Lord Guangnan’s Treasures Pavilion with this plate if you meet some inconvenience. After seeing this plate, the boss would definitely try his best to help you!” As Bai Runcheng told Zhang Tie, he took out a crystal token and had a person on his side pass it to Zhang Tie.

In this case, Zhang Tie didn’t decline it; instead, he took that token straightforwardly. After looking at it, he teleported it into his portable space-teleportation equipment…

As for Zhang Tie, he didn’t lack element crystals. However, the so-called learning of secret items was just a joke in his eyes. The learning of secret items might be useful for others; however, the learning of secret items that made numerous knights scramble for was nothing but sh*t in Zhang Tie’s eyes.

“It’s said that Taiyi City has not been opened until now. The trade of secret item pearls have been suspended!”

Bai Runcheng replied with a casual smile, “It’s for the time being. The turmoil in Xuanyuan Hill shocked the entire world. It was just a stance of Taiyi City, which was like flying a flag at half-mast. Each holy war would last 100-200 years. How could they suspend their business for 100-200 years? As Taiyi Fantasy Sect have land, they could receive too much rent. Taiyi City is a major source of income of Taiyi Fantasy Sect, which has long been making the others jealous. Only after a few days, if Taiyi Fantasy Sect doesn’t open their market in Taiyi City, their business might be grabbed away by Xuanyuan Hill and the other sects. I’m afraid that Taiyi City will open its market soon after the battle situation facing Western Theater of Operations becomes stable…”

“2nd uncle, do you think that the Western Theater of Operations could be stabilized?”

“Of course, no matter how powerful demons are, they could never defeat Taixia Country only by one round. Each holy war would last over 100 years, including this holy war. Now that the lords in Xuanyuan Hill are confident to curb the aggressiveness of demons in Helan Mountain Range and Weishui River, they must have reasons. Additionally, according to my intelligence, something unusual was happening in the regions occupied by demons over past days; demons are becoming smarter…”

When Zhang Tie was going to ask Bai Runcheng what happened in the regions occupied by demons, he suddenly received a message through his remote-sensing finger.

“What happened?” Bai Suxian knew that something was going to happen as she had been fixing her eyes onto Zhang Tie.

Zhang Tie looked at Bai Suxian as he also felt it strange. He then told her, “I’ve just received a message, the commander-in-chief Zuoqiu Mingyue wants to see me…”

“Commander-in-chief wants to see you?” Bai Suxian became stunned too. Closely after that, she moved her eyes onto her 2nd uncle.

Stroking his beard and watching Zhang Tie for a few seconds, Bai Runcheng suddenly burst out into laughter, “It must be a good thing if you’re called in by one of the top 3 counselors…”
