    Facts have proved that, as the first man to spend the night in the inner fort of Hailan Castle, no matter how much Zhang Tie's heart jumped at the beginning, he still stayed in Room 2 quietly and calmly for the night.  .  When young people encounter this kind of thing, including Zhang Tie, they can't help but have some wild imaginations.

    Before going to bed, Ms. Kate asked several maids to measure Zhang Tie's figure. Other than that, no one else entered Zhang Tie's room for the whole night.

    Room No. 2 is only separated by a wall from the room where Olina, the hostess of Hailan Castle, lives. There is a door between the living rooms of the two rooms that allows direct access. Being able to live in Room No. 2 seems to be in line with Zhang Tie's current role as "personal bodyguard".  this identity.  And living here seems to make it easier for Zhang Tie to rush to Olina's side when she encounters something unexpected.

    As long as there are no physical problems, Zhang Tie's biological clock always wakes him up around six in the morning.

    After waking up, Zhang Tie lay quietly on the bed, staring at the ceiling above the big bed with his eyes open, thinking that yesterday he suddenly agreed to a strange woman's request to be an extremely stupid flower protector. It was really a bit strange.  baffling.

    Is it because she is beautiful or because she looks like Teacher Dinah?

    ¡°If another woman were to be in the same situation as yesterday, if that woman was ugly or unable to leave a deep impression on me, I wonder if I would agree to that person¡¯s request to be a flower protector?  So that you can easily get yourself into a lot of trouble?

    This is a serious question, so while his brain was at its clearest, Zhang Tie thought about it hard and seriously, and finally got an answer that made him despise himself - no!

    "If it were another person, the most I could do at that time would be to rescue her from those people, and maybe send her to a place that I thought was safe enough, and then I would leave. I would never do such a stupid thing.  I have always been a person with clear priorities. My first priority when I came to the Northern Sea this time was to improve my strength and obtain as many Seven Power Fruits as possible instead of getting involved in disputes that had nothing to do with me.  .

    After figuring out the answer, Zhang Tie secretly laughed at himself and breathed a sigh of relief at the same time - he was still a mortal and had not yet reached the realm of a saint.

    That guy Tang De said that the reason why men express themselves actively in front of beautiful women is an animal instinct. In a man's subconscious, this is to win the right to mate with a beautiful woman, so that his DNA  There is the possibility of continuation and optimization.

    Did you also want to win the right to mate with Olena yesterday?

    This thought made Zhang Tie feel a little bit dirty, but looking at the steel mummy who was stronger than usual this morning, with the quilt covering him lifted up like a mountain, Zhang Tie had to admit that  Women do have extraordinary destructive power on themselves.

    ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????Meihu¡ªThis is the nickname of that woman. If a woman can become famous in a place like the Ewendala Islands, that woman is definitely not simple.

    "Are you a bad guy?" Zhang Tie lifted the quilt, patted the restless guy, and asked to himself.

    That bad guy who never knew what it means to keep one¡¯s own integrity nodded a few times following Zhang Tie¡¯s movements, and Zhang Tie laughed

    After peeing in the bathroom and washing up, the restless guy finally became more honest. Zhang Tiezheng was about to get dressed when he remembered that his clothes seemed to have been taken away by a few maids yesterday. The ones left in the room now, except  Apart from his Pisces belt, there are only some personal belongings left with him.

    Zhang Tie rang the bedside bell to greet the servant. After only waiting for more than 20 seconds, there was a knock on the door outside the bedroom.

    "Come in!"

    The room was pushed open, and four sweet-looking maids each walked in with a pile of things in their hands, and then closed the bedroom door.

    The two maids walking in front were holding a neat set of clothes, pants, shoes and socks, the two maids walking behind were holding basins with steaming water in them, and the other one was  Holding towels and some strange things, Zhang Tie met these four maids for the first time. Each of them was in their twenties. From a man's point of view, they were all beautiful and beautiful.

    "Mr. Peter, these are the clothes I just ordered for you!"

    "Okay!!" Zhang Tie nodded. Since he is going to stay here for a few days, his pioneer attire is not appropriate. Just do as the Romans do.

    "Are you going to put it on now?" a maid asked Zhang Tie.

    "yes!"

    ??As soon as Zhang Tie finished saying this, the maids gathered around him. One of them reached out to help Zhang Tie unbutton his pajamas. The plump maid who had just spoken knelt directly in front of Zhang Tie and unbuttoned his pajamas.  Taking off Zhang Tie's shorts, Zhang Tie suddenly became naked.

    "Ah!" Zhang Tie suddenly shouted. He didn't expect these women to be so bold. He quickly covered his lower body and asked slightly embarrassed, "What are you going to do?"

    "Help you change your clothes! Madam has told me that since you live in the inner castle, she must take care of you just like she takes care of her. She will be meticulous and meet any of your needs unconditionally. She must make you feel at home.  Feel it!" The maid who was kneeling on the ground raised her head and smiled at Zhang Tie.

    Looking at the sweet smile of the maid kneeling in front of him and the plump breasts of the maid, Zhang Tie felt that the bad guy who had just settled down suddenly became hard again. The posture of the maid kneeling in front of him and raising her face  , suddenly reminded Zhang Tie of the days when the girls in Black Flame City and Rose Club were "feeding pigeons" every day.

    Zhang Tie struggled to move his eyes away from the seductive lips of the maid in front of him, "This this I can do it myself!"

    Even in Jinwu Castle, he never asked the maids he bought to serve like this.

    "How is that possible? This is our job. By the way, Mr. Peter, can you lift your right foot up so that I can help you take off your pants? If you can't stand still, you can use  Hold my shoulder with one hand" As she spoke, the maid had already pulled Zhang Tie's underwear down to his ankles.

    Zhang Tie had no choice but to lift his two feet up one after another and let the maid kneeling in front of him take off her pants. He would never move her hands away because at this moment, it was only a few seconds.  , If Zhang Tie hadn't covered him up, that restless guy would have been extremely ferocious.  Being unable to stand firmly can only happen to ordinary people. For a seventh-level warrior, even if he has no problem standing on one foot for a whole day, how can he be unable to stand firmly.

    "Mr. Peter, can you straighten your hands? So I can help you take off your clothes!" The pretty maid next to him who was unbuttoning Zhang Tie's clothes also spoke.

    As soon as they heard the maid speak, the four maids surrounding Zhang Tie all glanced at Zhang Tie and each other, with expressions on their faces that wanted to laugh but were holding back.

    Zhang Tie glanced at the four women who looked at him with strange eyes. Damn it, you are not afraid. I am a man. What should I be afraid of? Do you really think I have never seen such a battle?  Thinking like this, Zhang Tie simply felt relieved, immediately let go of his hand, and opened his hands.

    The restless guy who had lost his control suddenly bounced up like a spring, trembling like an angry one-eyed spear, pointing directly at the pretty face of the maid kneeling in front of him, less than half a foot away.  .

    "ah!"

    This time, it was the turn of the four women in the room to let out a slight exclamation. The faces of several maids suddenly turned slightly red, and they seemed to have forgotten the movements of their hands.

    "Is it okay?" Zhang Tie asked as he opened his hand. Only then did several maids react. The maid who helped him take off his clothes also quickly took off his clothes. Zhang Tie was instantly naked.  Showing off his strong muscles and perfect figure.

    The two maids who had just brought the basin and towel quickly used hot towels to wipe Zhang Tie's body. There were two towels, one wet and one dry. The two towels almost worked at the same time. As soon as the wet towel was wiped dry.  The towel was wiped gently along the area where the wet towel had been wiped. It did not make Zhang Tie feel cold or uncomfortable at all.

    The two maids¡¯ movements were very skillful and bold. They wiped Zhang Tie¡¯s body in the blink of an eye, including Zhang Tie¡¯s toes, and even the most secret parts of Zhang Tie¡¯s body were not spared.

    Arriving at the back, Zhang Tie simply closed his eyes and let the maids serve and torment him.  Once the mood calmed down, everything felt more natural, and there was no embarrassment even if the body was naked.

    "Okay!" A few minutes later, Zhang Tie heard this voice in his ears, and then he opened his eyes.

    Zhang Tie looked at his body. He had a completely new look from head to toe. He was wearing a double-breasted knight's uniform with black texture and gold trimming. It looked good but did not affect his movements. The Pisces belt was also given to him by several maids.  Putting it on, the whole person looks chic and handsome, just like a young man from a rich family.

    "The water that the maids used to wipe their bodies just now seems to have a special something added to it, with a slightIt smelled nice, with a bit of tobacco smell. Smelling the smell emanating from his body, Zhang Tie felt like a dumpling that had just come out of the cage.

    Several maids looked at themselves, their faces were red and their eyes were shining.

    "This dress is quite suitable, thank you!" Zhang Tie nodded to the maids.

    "You're welcome, Madam must be very happy to see you like this!"

    Zhang Tie shrugged noncommittally. These maids might have thought of themselves as some pretty capable pretty boys brought back by that woman. He didn't bother to explain this misunderstanding. He just twitched his nose and raised his cuffs.  Come and smell it, "Did you add anything to the water? It smells pretty good!"

    "That is a plant essence refined from dragon blood tobacco leaves that is only found in the ice and snow wasteland. It can clean the human body, make people full of vitality, and can also maintain the skin. It is the best men's product!" The one who just knelt down to serve him  the maid replied.

    "Haha, it's still a little early now. I want to do some exercise on the training ground inside the castle. Isn't that convenient?"

    "Madam has already told me that you can move freely in Hailan Castle!"

    ¡­¡­

    A few minutes later, Zhang Tie arrived at the training ground inside Hailan Castle. It was just past six o'clock, it was not yet dawn, and the Fairy Dragon star was still hanging in the eastern sky. According to the schedule in the castle, the guards in the castle would be on duty at seven o'clock.  Training will start after clicking.

    There were a lot of training equipment and weapons on the training ground. Zhang Tie came to the rows of weapon racks, chose an epee weighing about 20 kilograms, and started training.

    Zhang Tie's training is very simple. After standing still, he constantly repeats the basic swordsmanship learned on Qianlong Island - splitting, slashing, picking, stabbing, teasing, collapsing, stirring, and stirring.  A move.

    Strictly speaking, Zhang Tie has not completed all the required training courses on Qianlong Island. In the past year, even with Zhang Tie's talent and hard work, he has completed all the required training courses.  The course only includes basic footwork and shield defense. The other basic swordsmanship and elementary archery training has just begun on Qianlong Island. The basic swordsmanship has not yet completed the goal of performing each action a million times.  Zhang Tie is now almost like a rookie - he knows some essentials of archery and can draw the bow with the correct posture and strength. As for the accuracy, as long as the target is more than thirty meters, whether he can hit it or not, for Zhang Tie  It completely becomes a question of character and the probability of dispersing strike weapons.

    Fortunately, his talent for accurate throwing allows him to master the skill of a long-range weapon. Otherwise, he would be embarrassed to say that he came from Qianlong Hall.

    After staying in Qianlong Hall for a long time, Zhang Tie still knew some so-called "semi-public secrets" even though students were prohibited from discussing their awakened ancestral bloodlines. This semi-public secret was  Among all the students of Qianlong Hall, more than 50% of them awakened the first ancestral bloodline, which was the most common ancestral bloodline of "Bow and Arrow Affinity" in the Zhang family.

    People who have awakened this ancestral bloodline are born with an extraordinary affinity and understanding of bows and arrows. Learning bows and arrows will get twice the result with half the effort. This ancestral bloodline is the basis for further awakening other powerful bow and arrow ancestral bloodlines. I heard that  What Lan Yunxi awakened was the most powerful ancestral bloodline related to bows and arrows in the Zhang family. This bloodline allowed Lan Yunxi to leapfrog and kill many people who were much more powerful than her, which was extremely terrifying.

    As for the other two subjects - lifting and riding, they are completely out of reach for Zhang Tie now.

    This time when he came out, he exchanged and learned the secret book of the vertical movement in Qianlong Hall, but he had not had time to practice it. According to the requirements in the secret book of practicing the vertical movement, the most important thing about the vertical movement is that the spine must exert force, and also  It can further open up the potential of the body, so the minimum level to practice the lifting skill must reach level eight. As for the riding skill, there is not much need for Zhang Tie now, so now whenever he has time, Zhang Tie will practice the basic sword.  Law comes.

    Outside, although there are not as good cultivation facilities and conditions as on Qianlong Island, the principles and movements of cultivation are the same. Zhang Tie just kept repeating the eight movements.

    It now takes Zhang Tie almost two seconds to complete these eight movements. Zhang Tie's goal is to control the time to complete these eight movements within one second when he reaches level eight.  Zhang Tie heard that Yu Xiaotian, the third-ranked Xiaotian Divine Sword on the Qianlongtang combat power list, could complete this set of actions four times in a row with the sword in his hand, and the first one Yu Xiaotian awakened  The ancestral bloodline is said to also have the "Sword Affinity" with great potential for development.

      Why his precise throwing did not awaken an ancestral bloodline such as "Flying Spear Affinity" in the first place? Zhang Tie still hasn't fully figured it out yet. The specific name of the bloodline related to throwing that he just awakened last night is  Zhang Tie didn't know what the name was. Zhang Tie just had a vague feeling that the ancestral bloodline related to throwing that could be awakened in him might end here.

    Precision throwing still has a chance to evolve, but whether and how the bloodline awakened last night can evolve is an unknown thing for Zhang Tie. Zhang Tie doesn't even have a guide.  This is also the price to pay for leaving Qianlong Hall. Everything has two sides. If you want to be free, you are often destined to explore the path of cultivation alone.

    Zhang Tie just practiced alone on the training ground for more than 20 minutes. Gita came and saw Zhang Tie training. Gita was watching beside Zhang Tie alone.

    When Zhang Tie repeated those movements, the movements were simple and boring, without any prestige or momentum, let alone how powerful they were. In addition to understanding that these were some basic swordsmanship movements, Gita watched quietly for a long time.  Didn't see any tricks.

    "Is this how you usually train?" Kita couldn't help but speak after watching for a while.

    Zhang Tie sheathed his sword and stopped what he was doing.

    "Not exactly, but this is also a very important training content!"

    "I can't believe that considering the level of swordsmanship you showed last night, you are still doing this kind of training!" Kita looked incredulous.

    Swordsmanship?  I know shit about swordsmanship. There are quite a few swordsmanship secrets in the Secret Scripture Pavilion of Qianlong Hall, but I haven¡¯t redeemed any of them. I can¡¯t pass the basic swordsmanship, so I haven¡¯t redeemed those secrets in the Secret Scripture Pavilion.  power.  Last night, I just evolved a few palm-finger and other Sanshou moves from the Iron-Blooded God Fist. The long sword was just an extension of my palms and fingers. Essentially, I was still using the Iron-Blooded God Fist.  However, unless you meet a master who has also practiced the Iron-Blooded Divine Fist and has an epiphany about one step at a time, it will be difficult to tell anything from the tricks you use.

    Of course, these words were only spoken by Zhang Tie to himself.

    "Basic things, no matter how proficient you are, are never too many. There is a saying in the Eastern Continent that the secret of all skills is contained in proficiency!" Zhang Tie could only pretend to be serious and made up a sentence.

    "The secret of all skills lies in proficiency" Kita was stunned when he heard what Zhang Tie said, then frowned and muttered and repeated. After repeating it three or four times, his  His brows suddenly opened, and a look of excitement and understanding appeared on his face, "Thank you, I finally understand what I am lacking!"

    Zhang Tie had a faint smile on his face, but secretly sweated in his heart. He said to himself, "Don't blame me if you become stupid in any practice in the future. In addition to practice makes perfect, the Chinese people also have a saying: Don't get into trouble.  It's useless to drill holes in the tip of a cow's horns.

    Seeing that Gita seemed to want to ask something else, Zhang Tie quickly changed the subject. Until now, apart from the Iron-Blooded Divine Fist and precise throwing, he could only do a handful of things, and he really had no qualifications to guide others.  , and there is really nothing to say about the Iron-Blooded Fist and Precision Throwing. Of those two things, one relies on blood, and Zhang Tie still doesn¡¯t know how he mastered it. Kita is an honest guy, and Zhang Tie treats him very well.  I have a good impression, but I don't want to lie to him.

    "By the way, how about what Mrs. Olena told you to do last night?"

    Zhang Tie knew that after he had a rest last night, many people in the castle did not rest. Many people in Hailan Castle were operating like machines. His task was only to protect the woman for a period of time, so other things  Basically it has nothing to do with him, and Zhang Tie doesn't care much.  What's more, that woman is not the kind of person who is completely helpless when encountering such a thing. This was evident from the moment the woman returned to Hailan Castle and Zhang Tie last night.

    "The bodies of the sacrificial guards have been put away, and everything has been arranged according to Madam's wishes. 22 of our guards died, and 67 of the killers died. It seems that we ambush them and win!"  By this time, Kita didn't understand why Mrs. Olena asked him to do this.

    "By the way, Kita, can you tell me what's going on between the Barras family and Madam?" Zhang Tie instinctively felt that there was a complicated entanglement between the woman and the Barras family. She was the Barras family.  The president of the business group, but some people in the Barras family want to kill her. This fact itself has a strange feeling.

    Kita hesitated for a moment.

      ¡°Isn¡¯t it convenient to say?¡±

    "No, what's the inconvenience to say? Even if Madam doesn't like the people below talking about the Barras family, I still want to say that those Barras family are a bunch of ungrateful bastards and cannibals who don't spit out bones.  The most wrong thing Madam has done in her life is to be too nice to those bastards from the Barras family!" Kita said indignantly, waving his fist fiercely.

    "If it doesn't waste your time too much, can you tell me in detail what's going on? So I can have a prediction of some possible dangers!"

    "Okay!" Kita exhaled a long breath

    ¡­¡­

    Eighteen years ago, the so-called Barras business group and the Barras family did not exist on St. Helena Island. At that time, the only people on St. Helena Island who had three Baras families were  There is only one small intermediary firm in the lumber business on St. Helena Island that is struggling to survive.

    The male owner of the trading house is a young man named Barras who came here from Charta Island penniless to work hard. This young man has a beautiful wife named Olena.

    Barras is both lucky and unlucky. He is lucky because he has such a beautiful wife, and unlucky because he just left a two-month-old child in the second year after marrying his wife.  His wife died after only a few months.  Barras went to the icy wasteland for business, and was attacked by bandits. Not only did he lose all the money for the goods, he was also seriously injured. He died soon after returning to St. Gena.

    When Barras died, not a single copper was left, except for an insolvent timber brokerage firm called "Barras Trading Company" that owed a large sum of money.

    The creditors of the commercial bank found the widow left by Barras and asked Olina, who was already pregnant, to repay the debt. So Olina, who was slowly getting pregnant, gritted her teeth and began to preside over the business that could completely go bankrupt.  Barras came to the firm, for the sake of his dead husband and the child who was still in his belly, and began to learn all the skills and abilities of running a firm and doing business, in order to repay the debt and leave a legacy for the child in his belly.  A future.

    In a desperate situation, Olena¡¯s amazing perseverance, outstanding wisdom and terrifying business talent burst out.

    Just four months later, the Barras Trading Company chaired by Olina not only repaid the huge debt owed by her ex-husband, but also made a large sum of money.  The child in her belly was miscarried.

    In just half a year, the successive blows did not bring down this woman. After losing her child, this woman devoted herself to running the Baras Trading Company with even stronger fighting spirit.

    Three years later, Barras Trading Company changed its name to Barras Trading Company and began to emerge as a divorced force in the business district of St. Helena Island.

    Six years later, the Barras Trading Company changed its name to the Barras Trading Company and began to have its own armed forces and fleet. Not only on St. Genna Island, but also on the entire Evandara Islands, it began to gain a bit of fame.

    In the seventh year, several relatives from Olina¡¯s ex-husband¡¯s family came to St. Genna Island and asked Olina to take them in. Olina took them in, and then, today¡¯s disaster was buried

    Today, the Barras Merchant Group has become well-known and has become a very important presence on the entire St. Genna Island. The relatives of the down-and-out Barras family who were taken in by Olina have also swelled one by one.  stand up¡­¡­

    "When those people first came to St. Helena Island, my wife kindly took them in and arranged for them to work in the business group according to their requirements. In the first two years, those people were very honest. Later, those people  It changed. At the beginning, those people regarded themselves as Madam's family and relatives. Later, Madam became what they called a junior member of the family. Later, because their surname was Barras and they were in the Barras business group.  After staying for a long time, they felt that this business group should have their share. Later, until last night, those people may have felt that the entire Barras business group should be theirs. Instead, Madam became  Outsiders" At this point, Kita punched his hand hard.

    "So that's it!" Zhang Tie also sighed. That woman's kindness and tolerance to those in her late husband's family had fed the greed and ambition of those people into a wild beast that wanted to devour anyone by any means necessary.  Perhaps, in the hearts of those people, a single and helpless woman has become the last obstacle to their control of the Barras Business Group. After last night, that woman should have woken up.

    After Kita finished telling the story of the Barras family, the sky slowly dawned.Then, Zhang Tie and Kita, who were on the training ground, received the news at the same time. After learning about Olina's assassination last night, the people of the Barras family spent a whole night and finally  After a while, we arrived at Hailan Fort.
