Chapter 13: The Gift of the Sword


The following weekend was uneventful.

After school on Friday, Zhang Tie went to the Iron Thorn War Hall to make the lowest-level human flesh sandbag again, but compared to two days ago, Zhang Tie, who has now stepped into the strength of a first-level soldier, has completely become easier to deal with that stinky little guy named Andrew Bennetta.

Throughout the sparring process, there were times when Zhang Tie was able to control the rhythm a little, deliberately letting Bennetta's blows fall on some body parts that he actively chose.

Of course, more often, Zhang Tie will deliberately pretend to be knocked down by the little kid to satisfy the vanity of the little kid, and after standing up, he said, "Stuck full, despicable" made the little kid's eyes red and rushed over again.

The part-time job in the war hall is a chore in the eyes of others, but on Zhang Tie's side, this drudgery is becoming a fun game, not only do you have money to get, but you can also speed up the ripening of the iron fetus fruit, and in the actual combat process of constantly being beaten, Zhang Tie found that his combat instinct was also constantly improving, the pace was more flexible, the reaction was more agile, and the opponent's attack intention was judged more accurately.

That one-eyed dragon really did a good thing, Zhang Tiemei was beautiful.

And probably because of the better performance of these two times, Zhang Tie did not faint again, Zhang Tie felt that his status in the war hall had improved a little bit, at least the two bastards in the equipment room did not use themselves again, betting on when he would faint again.

As he left the Iron Thorn Pavilion, Director Baker gave himself a few words of encouragement, and then settled his weekly salary for himself for a total of 3 silver coins and 40 copper.

This is the first money Zhang Tie has earned in his life.

Zhang Tie kept this money tightly in his pocket, and when he got home, he was already a little hot.

When handing over the money to his mother, looking at his father and mother's surprised expressions, Zhang Tie was extremely satisfied, although the amount of money was very small, and his mother only took two silver coins in the end, saying that it was for Zhang Tie to save, and Zhang Tie kept the rest for himself.

But as Zhang Tie's first contribution to the family with his sweat and labor, Zhang Tie's heart was full of happiness and pride.

On Saturday, Zhang Tie continued to help his mother make rice brew at home, with the addition of the future sister-in-law, Zhang Tie's things are much less, the future sister-in-law of the Zhang family is a diligent person, she is also very smart, very capable of running the house, and there are no rumors of bad behavior outside, in the Zhang family these days, it has been slowly accepted by the Zhang family, and gradually integrated into the family.

Seeing his mother teaching the future sister-in-law Zhang's rice brewing skills hand in hand, Zhang Tie felt a sadness in his heart, his mother was getting older and older, and his time in this home was getting less and less The life of ordinary little people is always mixed with too many ups and downs, and it was also on this Saturday, when Zhang Tie rode the ugly tricycle to the rice shop again, he found that the price of rice had risen by another 25 kg bag of ordinary rice, and the price had risen by three copper coins, becoming 4 silver coins and 61 copper bags.

Zhang Tie went to several places in succession, not only that, Zhang Tie found that the price of other foods also rose slightly to varying degrees, the price of sugar rose even more, compared to rice, the price of jaggery this week has increased by more than 10 per kilogram compared to last week, and each kilogram has exceeded 1 silver coin and 10 copper coins I can't help it, just grit my teeth and buy it.

The Zhang family's rice brewing business will not rise in price, and once the price rises, the sales volume will definitely not be as good as before, and the role of this small business in the family to subsidize the family will be much smaller.

After hearing the news of the rise in food prices, although his expression did not change much, the wrinkle on his mother's brow became deeper in Zhang Tie's eyes.

On Saturday night, Zhang Tie planted a large piece of pumpkins on the land of the Black Iron Castle, the pumpkin seeds were taken out of the pumpkin pulp when the family bought pumpkins to eat some time ago, the thrifty mother was reluctant to throw away, and after washing them, they were dried and dried in the small yard to store, and these seeds were dried and put into the pot to fry, which was fragrant and delicious pumpkin seeds.

This time, Zhang Tie planted a lot of pumpkins, there were two big handfuls, two or three hundred seeds were planted, the rise in food prices was one reason, and there was a more important reason, that is, Zhang Tie found that the Black Iron Fort seemed to be really suitable for the growth of plants, just one week, all the seeds he planted in the Black Iron Fort germinated, including those sent by Mother Teresa, all the plants grew well, it was simply better, especially the potatoes and corn that were planted at the earliest, and they grew fast, The bare Black Iron Castle began to show a little vitality, and the aura value in the Black Iron Castle was rapidly increasing every day.

By Saturday of this year, the aura value in the Black Iron Castle had surpassed 70.

Throwing a bag of garbage left over from cleaning the house into the Pool of Chaos, and obtaining a pitiful 01 basic energy, Zhang Tie, who had finished clearing the land in the Black Iron Castle, checked the situation of the small tree again, and the ripening progress bar of the iron fetal fruit had reached half, and it seemed that it could be enjoyed after being beaten twice, and the second non-leaking fruit was also about to ripen by next Thursday night.

This small tree has now become the source of Zhang Tie's greatest confidence in this era.

Out of the Black Iron Castle, Zhang Tie, who returned to the hut, wanted to practice, and then he heard a long and sharp alarm sound faintly outside the window, in the night, the sound of this hand-cranked fire alarm can be transmitted far away, Zhang Tie hurriedly came to the attic window, opened the window and looked out, In the dark night sky, a little translucent firelight illuminated the distant sky red, looking at the source of the firelight, it seemed to be the old settlement area of the Black Flame City near the train station, and there was a faint noise of people I don't know whose house caught fire For this fire near the train station, the only thing left for Zhang Tie was such a question that he left behind in a blink of an eye.

Then Zhang Tie closed the small window in the attic, picked up the crystal on the windowsill, and sat on the bed to cultivate.

After lighting the Divine Palace Bright Point, as soon as you settle down, you can feel that there is a "small point" vibrating at the tail vertebrae near the anus, which vaguely echoes the Divine Palace Bright Point, that is, the next target that Zhang Tie wants to conquer, the first vertebral point.

According to the introduction of the teacher of the naturalist class on Friday, this bright point, that is, the 1 in the second number in the Fibonacci gold sequence, the next one is 2, then 3, then 5, and then 8 These bright points distributed in the spine are connected into a line, there are 34, opposite to the 34 vertebrae of the human body, there are many mysteries in the bright point of the shrine, no one can tell, but the effect of the bright point of the spine is the same as the role of the spine, it is the support and source of human strength, and every bright point on the spine can greatly increase people's physical strength and strengthThis is why Grace's body data can keep all students down in school With the power of Zhang Tie's spirit and mind after entering the meditation, the energy gathered by the crystal outside passed through the bright point of the Divine Palace, and was transmitted to the point of the tail vertebrae, more than two hours of effort, Zhang Tie's result was only to polish the bright point a little, revealing a little red light the size of a grain of rice in his consciousness, compared with the bright point of the Divine Palace that was burning at the moment, it could not be compared at all, that is, the difference between a small firefly and a bonfire, the cultivation process of each bright point was such a time-consuming and labor-consuming thing for most people On Sunday afternoon, Zhang Tie watched the shop at home as usual, and his father and mother wore new clothes, bought some things to carry, and then went out with his future sister-in-law, needless to say, Zhang Tie also knew what they were doing, and in the evening his mother and future sister-in-law came back, and their faces were full of relief and relaxation, Zhang Tie knew that the identity of this future sister-in-law was basically determined.

Zhang's rice brew has risen by one copper per bowl from today, although it has been announced in advance, but the business in the shop has suddenly cooled down, and the turnover of the day is only a little more than half of the previous one.

"Mom, dad, didn't you come back with you" Seeing that only two women came back, Zhang Tie asked a little strangely.

"Your dad has something to do, and he won't be back until a little later," Mom's tone was a bit mysterious.

In the evening, pinching the time to eat, my father came back, wrapped a long thing in a cloth in his hand, as soon as he saw Zhang Tie, my father smiled, and unwrapped the outer packaging of the long strip-shaped thing, and a long sword with a slight curve of the sword body wrapped in a black scabbard appeared in front of Zhang Tie's eyes.

"Ah, Black Flame Breaking Blade Sword" Zhang Tie shouted, as if he saw a baby, he jumped over at once, snatched a long sword from his father's hand, pulled the sword out of the sheath with a choked sound, and a sharp two-handed sword appeared in Zhang Tie's hand, Zhang Tie exclaimed, because he saw his name Zhang Tie on the sword body where the sword was close to the hilt.

This is a gift from my father to himself.

"After next week, you're going to participate in the school's field trial, this is a gift from your father, cough cough" Dad's face also showed a trace of embarrassment, "This is an ordinary stainless steel sword-breaking sword produced by the arsenal of Black Flame City, which is slightly inferior to the standard equipment of the Black Flame City military in terms of craftsmanship, and the scabbard is just an ordinary iron and wood material, you know that Dad doesn't have much money, so he can only" "I'm very satisfied, thank you, Dad" Zhang Tie hugged his father, interrupted what his father was going to say, and kissed his father on the face, Zhang Tie was already very satisfied with this gift, Zhang Tie knew very well that the price of this kind of Broken Edge Sword made of ordinary materials produced by Heiyan City was basically more than one gold coin, which was already a big expense for the family.

Seeing Zhang Tie so happy, a comfortable smile also appeared on Zhang Tie's father's face "You two, the food will be cold if you don't come here again," the old mother cried out dissatisfiedly beside her, trying her best to dilute and dilute something In this era, many people's first sword in life is given by their father and brother, and the sword is given by their father or brother, and the sword, in addition to being full of the blessings and concerns of their relatives, also has a meaning, the person who holds this sword will rely on this sword to fight for his life in the future, which is the irresistible fate of many men and many families in this era When there was still one last week after leaving school, 15-year-old Zhang Tie calmly accepted the arrangement of fate and had the first sword of life engraved with his name Thank you all for your support, there is a chapter on nine o'clock:
