Castle of Black Iron
Castle of Black Iron - Chapter 1700: Dragon Emperor Pavilion

Dragon Emperor Pavilion was close to the center of Dragon Emperor City in the north. All the four avenues Blue Dragon, White Tiger, Red Sparrow and Immortal Tortoise led to Dragon Emperor Pavilion. Therefore, Zhang Tie could arrive at Dragon Emperor Pavilion at just 8 am by a flying lizard. On the way here from Apricot Blossom Village, he almost didn't ask anyone about the location of Dragon Emperor Pavilion.

The entire Dragon Emperor Pavilion occupied over 180,000 square meters. Although it was called pavilion, it was actually a mini palace. Dragon Emperor Pavilion was surrounded by a moat, which was planted with willows on both banks. Its river was a crystal with ripples while waterweeds swayed in the river. Fish jumped out of the river every time and then. It was nice scenery. From this bank, Zhang Tie could see the golden glazed tiles on those buildings and high trees in Dragon Emperor Pavilion on the other bank of the moat.

"Stop, who's that?"

Zhang Tie was stopped by a team of guards at one end of the stone bridge over moat the moment he wanted his flying lizard to step on the moat.

Saying nothing, Zhang Tie just presented his jade plate to them. Before the team of guards spoke, an armored old man with only a dragon pattern of two silver threads at his wristbands who looked like a general hurriedly came to Zhang Tie.

When Zhang Tie came to the bride, the two people had already gazed at him. After seeing Zhang Tie's jade plate and confirming his identity, the two people dared not stay afar anymore; instead, they hurriedly came over here to greet Zhang Tie.

"Welcome, head...I'm Huang Yukun, the internal guards head of Dragon Emperor Pavilion..."

"I'm Xu Gang, the general of Dragon Emperor Pavilion..."

Sitting on the flying lizard, only after taking a look at them, Zhang Tie had already known their battle strength. Being even elder than Xun Zizhou, Hong Yukun was just a fierce immortal general; however, he still looked good and humble as if he was arranged to live the rest of his life here. Xu Gang was just a LV 14 battle demon who looked valiant. He could scare commoners; however, he couldn't withstand a single blow from an immortal knight. At least this general was smiling like a manager of a hotel when he saw Zhang Tie as his eyes were squinting into a crack.

The two people were both Zhang Tie's subordinates in Dragon Emperor Pavilion. As the head of Dragon Emperor Pavilion, although Zhang Tie was just a watchdog, he was not a single commander; instead, he had some subordinates for real. That was to say, it was enough for Zhang Tie to put on airs at least in Dragon Emperor Pavilion.

"Hmm!" Zhang Tie answered as he jumped off the back of the flying lizard by raising his legs. Closely after that, he patted his flying lizard. Before those guards made a response, his flying lizard had already walked towards the stable especially for lizards in the distance while shaking its head. Some guards hurriedly caught up with it and caught its rein.

"Do you want to check my transfer order?" Zhang Tie asked politely.

"No need, no need..." The internal guards head and the general changed their faces out of fear as they hurriedly waved their hands.

Zhang Tie didn't present his transfer order to them as he understood that his reputation in the city had already worked. It was estimated that the two people had already heard what Zhang Tie did in Dragon Emperor City. Zhang Tie didn't even fear disciples of an elder and beat those who offended him fiercely, how would the two people dare find Zhang Tie trouble? Of course, they behaved as good as possible.

This was the benefit of vice. Before you wanted others to show their tribute to you, you should have them fear about you. Sometimes, this method worked a lot.

"Alright, you two keep me company in the Dragon Emperor Pavilion. As it's my first time to be here, I don't know anything about this place. Therefore, I have to depend on you from today on!" Zhang Tie said as he walked straight towards the gate of the Dragon Emperor Pavilion. After exchanging a glance with each other, Hong Yukun and Xugang hurriedly caught up with Zhang Tie, closely after him.

"Head..." Watching Hong Yukun and Xugang keep Zhang Tie company towards them, the two teams of guards outside the gate of Dragon Emperor Pavilion roared at once as they chested out, giving a salute to Zhang Tie. It seemed that these guards had already known that they were going to have a new head today.

"Hmm, not bad, these guards are spirited!" Zhang Tie nodded as he praised, asking Xu Gang, "How many guards are there in Dragon Emperor Pavilion in total?"

Xu Gang immediately smiled as he approached Zhang Tie, replying, "Head, there's a camp in Dragon Emperor Pavilion, 120 people in total. If head wants to deliver a speech to them, this humble man would gather them up..."

"No need. Let them do their own jobs!" Zhang Tie said as he waved his hand, asking, "What about the shifts?"

"Three shifts a day, 40 people per time!"

"Hmm, keep it!" Zhang Tie said as he had already passed the gate of Dragon Emperor Pavilion and entered the pavilion.

Compared to the outside world, the Dragon Emperor Pavilion was special.

As the place where Dragon Emperor once lived in, Dragon Emperor Pavilion was full of terraces and pavilions, odd flowers and grasses. Each brick or wood here had its background. It was hard to find a place more luxurious than this place inside the city.

"Head!"

The moment Zhang Tie entered it, two more lines of people greeted him, half male and half female, 60 people in total. These people wore costumes of low-level disciples in Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace with smaller dragon patterns of a different number of copper threads on their wristbands, varying from one to six. All the male disciples were common-looking; however, all the female disciples here were good-looking with elegant figures. At the sight of Zhang Tie, many female disciples' eyes became bright at a stroke.

Zhang Tie fixated onto Hong Yukun unconsciously.

"These are all workers inside the Dragon Emperor Pavilion. They're responsible for the repairs, renovation and cleaning of the garden. 60 people in total. They're subordinate to this humble man. They're all here for your order, head!" Hong Yukun said with a smile.

"It's fine, I have no order, go back to your positions as usual!" Zhang Tie threw a glance at them before continuing to walk inside. Hong Yukong then waved his hand towards them behind Zhang Tie, letting them leave there.

After taking a cursory look at Dragon Emperor Pavilion, Zhang Tie found some attics were locked. He was then told that the Dragon Emperor usually stayed in those attics, which stored many items that the Dragon Emperor once used. Additionally, all the items had been registered. To put simply, Zhang Tie's job was to protect the Dragon Emperor Pavilion and these items inside it...

As the director of Dragon Emperor Pavilion, Zhang Tie had a private building where he could work or rest inside Dragon Emperor Pavilion.

After hearing that there were many items that the Dragon Emperor had used in Dragon Emperor Pavilion, Zhang Tie's heart raced. After taking a cursory look at the pavilion, he let Xu Gang leave there and had Hong Yukun bring him the register book and count all the items on the book in front of him.

After counting all of them, Zhang Tie had an amazing discovery in the study room of the Dragon Emperor.

It was a gold coin, a gold coin from Taixia Country...
