Chapter 9 The Ballas Family

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 little heart jumped at the beginning, he still lived quietly and calmly in the second room all night . When young people encounter such things, including Zhang Tie, they can't help but have some wild dreams.

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

Room No. 2 is just a wall away from the room where Olina, the hostess of Seablue Castle, is separated by a wall. There is a door between the living rooms of the two rooms that can be directly accessed. Being able to live in Room No. 2 seems to fit Zhang Tie's current "personal bodyguard" requirements. this identity. Moreover, living here seems to be convenient for Zhang Tie to rush to Olina's side immediately when Olina encounters any accident.

As long as there is no physical problem, Zhang Tie's biological clock always wakes him up around six o'clock 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 the request of a strange woman to be an extremely stupid flower protector. baffling.

Just because she is pretty or because she looks like Miss Dinah?

If another woman was in the same situation as yesterday, if that woman was ugly, or couldn't impress me deeply, I wonder if I would agree to that person's request to be a flower protector? So easily get yourself involved in a bunch of troubles?

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

If it was someone else, at most I would have rescued her from those people, and perhaps sent her to a place I thought was safe enough, and then I would have left. I would never do such a foolish thing. I have always been a person who has a clear distinction between priorities and priorities. The first task of coming to the northern sea this time is to improve my strength and obtain as many Qiliguo as possible, rather than getting involved in these disputes that have nothing to do with me .

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

Tang De said that the reason why men actively express themselves in front of beautiful women is an animal instinct. In the subconscious of men, this is to win the right to mate with beautiful women, so that their rigid A has the possibility of continuation and optimization.

Did he also want to win the right to mate with Olina yesterday?

This idea made Zhang Tie feel that he seemed a little dirty, but when he looked at his steel mummy this morning, which was stronger than before, and directly lifted the quilt covering his body into a mountain bag, Zhang Tie had to admit that Women do have extraordinary lethality to themselves.

Meihu—this is the nickname of that woman. If a woman can make a name for herself in a place like the Evin Dara Islands, that woman is definitely not easy.

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

The bad guy who never knew what it means to keep his own law and order nodded his head a few times following Zhang Tie's movements, and Zhang Tie laughed...

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

Zhang Tie rang the rope bell at the bedside to greet the servants. After waiting for more than twenty seconds, there was a knock on the bedroom door.

"Come in!"

The room is pushed open,

Four sweet-looking maids walked in with a bunch of things in their hands, and then closed the bedroom door.

The two maids walking in front were holding a neat set of underwear, shoes and socks in their hands, the two maids walking behind were holding a basin with steaming water in it, and the other one was Holding towels and some strange things, Zhang Tie met the four maids for the first time. Each of them was in their twenties, and from a man's point of view, their looks and figures were the best.

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

"Okay!!" Zhang Tie nodded. Since he was going to stay here for a few days, his attire as a pioneer was inappropriate. Let's 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 surrounded him, and one of them reached out to help Zhang Tie unbutton his pajamas. After taking off Zhang Tie's shorts, Zhang Tie became naked all of a sudden.

"Ah!" Zhang Tie yelled all of a sudden, 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! My wife told me that since you live in the inner castle, she will take care of you like she does. I will meet your every need unconditionally and make you feel at home." Feeling!" The maid kneeling on the ground raised her head and smiled at Zhang Tie.

Looking at the sweet smiling face 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 gesture of the maid kneeling in front of him and raising her face , Zhang Tie suddenly remembered the days when those girls in Heiyan City and Rose Club were "feeding pigeons" every day.

Zhang Tie struggled to move his gaze away from the alluring 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 him like this.

"How can it be, this is our job, by the way, Mr. Peter, can you lift your right foot, so that I can help you take off your pants, if you are not stable, you can use Hold my shoulder veins with one hand..." While speaking, 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 by one, and asked the maid kneeling in front of him to take off his pants and move his hands away. He would never do it, 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. Unsteady standing can only happen to ordinary people. For a fighter who is already at the seventh level, even if he has no problem standing on one foot for a day, how can he be unsteady.

"Mr. Peter, can you straighten your hands? Then I can help you take off your clothes!" The pretty maid next to him who unbuttoned 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 of wanting to laugh but holding back.

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

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

"what!"

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

"Is it okay?" Zhang Tie asked with his hands open, and the maids who helped him undress quickly took off his clothes and Zhang Tie was instantly naked. Show off your muscular body and perfect body.

The two maids who had just carried the water basin and towels hurriedly wiped Zhang Tie's body with hot towels. Two towels, one wet and one dry, almost worked together to wipe the wet hair. The dry towel was wiped gently along the place where the wet hair had been wiped at once, and it would not make Zhang Tie feel cold or uncomfortable at all.

The movements of the two maids were very skillful and bold, and they wiped Zhang Tie's body in the blink of an eye, including Zhang Tie's toes, and even the most secret places on Zhang Tie's body.

At the back, Zhang Tie simply closed his eyes and let the maids serve him. Once the mood calmed down, I felt that everything went with the flow, and there was no embarrassment even if I was naked.

"Okay!" Zhang Tie heard this voice a few minutes later, and then opened his eyes.

Zhang Tie looked at his body. From head to toe, he was completely new. He was wearing a double-breasted knight uniform with black texture and golden stripes. In other words, the whole person looks chic and handsome, like a son of a rich family.

Just now, the maids seemed to have added a special, slightly pleasant, tobacco-like essence to the water they used to wipe their bodies. Zhang Tie felt that he was a Freshly baked buns.

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

"This suit fits well, thank you!" Zhang Tie nodded to the maids.

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

Zhang Tie shrugged his shoulders noncommittally. These maids probably regarded themselves as a little bit of a little boy who was brought back by that woman. He didn't bother to explain such a misunderstanding. He just twitched his nose and raised his cuffs. Come and smell it, "Did you add anything to the water, it smells good!"

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

"Hehe, it's still early in the morning. I want to exercise on the training ground inside the castle. Is it convenient?"

"Madam has already explained that you can move freely in Seablue Castle!"

A few minutes later, Zhang Tie came to the training ground in Seablue Castle. It was just past six o'clock, the sky was still dark, and the fairy dragon star was still hanging in the eastern sky. Training will start after that point.

There are 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, that is, after he stands upright, he keeps repeating the eight basic sword skills he learned on Qianlong Island - chopping, chopping, picking, stabbing, collapsing, stirring, and poking. moves.

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, the required training courses he completed There are only basic footwork and shield defense, others, basic swordsmanship and elementary archery have made a head start on Qianlong Island. Basic swordsmanship has not yet completed the goal of one million times per movement, elementary archery Zhang Tie is almost like a rookie now - he knows some essentials of archery, can he draw the bow with the correct posture and strength to hit the head? It has become a matter of character and the probability of dispersing strike weapons. Fortunately, his talent for accurate throwing allowed him to master a long-range weapon skill, otherwise, he would be ashamed to say that he came from Qianlongtang.

After staying in the Qianlong Hall for a long time, although the students are forbidden to discuss the awakened ancestors' blood in the Qianlong Hall, Zhang Tie still knows some so-called "semi-open secrets." This half-open secret is Among all the students in Qianlongtang, more than 50% of them awakened the first ancestor bloodline, which is the most common "bow and arrow affinity" ancestor bloodline in the Zhang family.

People who have awakened this ancestral bloodline will be born with an extraordinary affinity and comprehension for 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 ancestral bloodlines of bows and arrows. I heard that What Lan Yunxi awakened was the most powerful ancestral bloodline related to bows and arrows in the Zhang family. This kind of bloodline can allow Lan Yunxi to leapfrog and obliterate many people who are much stronger than her, which is extremely terrifying.

As for the other two subjects-lifting technique and riding technique, it is completely far away for Zhang Tie now.

When he came out this time, he exchanged and learned the secret book of lifting technique in Qianlong hall, but he hadn't had time to practice it. According to the requirements of the training cheat book of lifting technique, the most important thing for lifting technique is to require the spine to exert strength There is a need to further open up the potential of the body, so the minimum level of training the vertical technique must reach level eight. As for the riding technique, it is not necessary for Zhang Tie now, so as long as he has time now, Zhang Tie will practice the basic sword Falai.

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

It takes Zhang Tie almost two seconds to complete these eight movements once. Zhang Tie's goal is to control the time to complete these eight movements within one second when he is at level eight. Zhang Tie said that Yu Xiaotian, the third-ranked Xiaotian Excalibur on the Qianlongtang combat power list, can use the sword in his hand to complete this set of movements four times in a second, and the first awakened Yu Xiaotian It is said that the blood of the ancestors is also the "Affinity of the Sword" that also has profound development potential.

Zhang Tie still hasn't fully figured out why his precise throwing didn't awaken an ancestral bloodline like "Flying Spear Affinity" at the beginning, but what is the specific bloodline related to throwing that he awakened last night? Zhang Tie doesn't know the name, but Zhang Tie just has a vague feeling that the ancestral bloodline related to throwing that can be awakened in him may end here.

There is still a chance for precision throwing to evolve, but whether and how the bloodline awakened last night can evolve is unknown to Zhang Tie. Zhang Tie doesn't even have a guide. This is also the price to pay for leaving Qianlongtang. Everything has two sides. If you want to be free, you are doomed to grope alone on the road of cultivation in many cases.

Zhang Tie practiced alone on the training ground for more than 20 minutes, when Kita came and saw Zhang Tie training, and Kita watched by Zhang Tie alone.

When Zhang Tie repeated those movements, the movements were simple and boring, without any prestige and momentum, let alone how powerful they were. Apart from knowing that these were some basic swordsmanship movements, Kita watched quietly for a long time. Didn't see any tricks.

"Is this how you usually train?" Kita, who watched for a while, couldn't help but asked.

Zhang Tie retracted his sword and stopped his movements.

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

"I can't believe it, based on the level of swordsmanship you showed last night, you are still doing this kind of training!" Kita said in disbelief.

fencing? I know shit about swordsmanship. There are quite a few swordsmanship cheats in the Secret Scriptures Pavilion of Qianlongtang, but I haven't exchanged any of them. I don't know basic swordsmanship, so I didn't exchange those cheats in the Secret Scriptures Pavilion. power. Last night, I just evolved the Sanshou techniques such as palm and fingers in the Jagged Fist. The long sword was just an extension of my palm and fingers, and I was using the Jagged Fist in essence. But unless you meet a master who has also practiced the iron-blooded fist like yourself and has a sudden understanding of every step and scene, it is difficult to see what is famous in the tricks you use.

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

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

"The mysteries of all skills are contained in proficiency..." Kita was stunned when he heard what Zhang Tie said, then frowned, and repeated it in a murmur. After repeating it three or four times, he His brows suddenly opened, and a look of excitement and understanding appeared on the whole person's face, "Thank you, I finally understand what I lack!"

There was a faint smile on Zhang Tie's face, but his heart was secretly sweating. He said to himself that if you practice something stupid in the future, don't blame me. In addition to practice makes perfect, the Chinese people also have a saying that is not to be stubborn. No matter how familiar you are, it's useless to drill holes in the horns.

Seeing that Kita seemed to want to ask something else, Zhang Tie quickly changed the topic. So far, apart from Iron Fist and Precision Throwing, he has only a handful of things he can do, and he really has no qualifications to guide others. , and Jagged Fist and precision throwing, there is really nothing to say. Those two things, one is by blood, and the other is that Zhang Tie doesn't know how he has practiced 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, what happened to what Mrs. Olina told you to do last night?"

Zhang Tie knew that after he rested last night, many people in the castle did not rest, and many people in Seablue Castle started to operate like machines. His task was 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 too much. What's more, that woman is not the kind of person who is completely helpless when encountering such a thing. This point can be seen from Zhang Tie when the woman returned to Hailanbao last night.

"The corpses of the sacrificial guards have been collected, and everything has been arranged according to Madam's wishes. Our guards died 22 of those killers died. It seems that we ambushed them and won a big victory!" Until At this time, Kita did not understand why Mrs. Olina asked him to do this.

"By the way, Kita, can you tell me what's going on between the Balas family and his wife?" Zhang Tie instinctively felt that there was a complicated entanglement between the woman and the Balas family. The chairman of the business group, but some members of the Balas family wanted to kill her. This incident itself has a weird feeling.

Kita hesitated a little.

"Is it convenient to say?"

"No, it's inconvenient to say, even if Ma'am doesn't like the people below talking about the Baras family, I still want to say that those Baras family members are a bunch of ungrateful bastards and cannibals. The white-eyed wolf, the most wrong thing Madam has done in her life is to be too kind to those bastards of the Balas family!" Kita said with righteous indignation, and shook his fist fiercely.

"If it doesn't waste your time, can you tell me in detail, what's going on, so that I can have a prediction about some possible dangers!"

"Okay!" Kita let out a long breath...

Eighteen years ago, the so-called Barras business group and the Barras family did not exist on St. Heina Island. Literally, there is only a small intermediary firm in the timber business on St. Hena Island, which is struggling to survive.

The owner of the firm is a young man named Barras who came here penniless from Shireta Island to work hard. This young man has a beautiful wife named Olina.

Barras is both lucky and unlucky. He is lucky because he has such a beautiful wife. He is unlucky because he has just left a pregnant woman in the second year after marrying his wife. His wife of one month died. Barras went to the ice and snow wasteland for the business of the firm, and was attacked by robbers, not to mention losing all the money for the goods, and was seriously injured. He died soon after returning to St. Hena Island.

When Ballas died, there was not a single copper left except for an insolvent lumber broker called "Ballas Firm," which owed a large sum of money.

The creditors of the business found the widow left by Ballas and asked Olina, who was pregnant, to repay the debt. As a result, Olina, whose belly was growing gradually, gritted her teeth and began to preside over the bankrupt The Barras Firm came to learn all the skills and skills of running a firm and doing business for the sake of the dead husband and the child who was still in the womb, in order to pay off the debts and leave for the child in his womb. a future.

In the desperate situation, amazing perseverance, outstanding wisdom and terrifying business talent exploded in Olina.

Only four months later, the Barras Firm headed by Olina not only repaid the huge debt owed by her ex-husband, but also made a lot of money. At this time, due to excessive work, she The baby in the womb was miscarried.

In just half a year, the successive blows did not make this woman fall down. After losing her own child, this woman started to run Balas Trading Company wholeheartedly with even more vigorous fighting spirit.

Three years later, Ballas Trading Company changed its name to Ballas Trading Company and began to emerge from the business district on St. Hena Island.

Six years later, the Barras Trading Company changed its name to the Barras Merchant Group, and began to have its own armed forces and fleet. Not only on St. Hena Island, but also on the entire Evin Dara Islands, it began to gain a little reputation.

In the seventh year, several relatives of Olina's ex-husband's family came to Saint Hena Island and asked Olina to take them in. Olina took them in, and then, today's disaster was buried...

Today, the Balas business group is well-known and has become a pivotal presence on the entire St. Hena Island. The relatives of the down-and-out Balas family who were taken in by Olina have also swelled one by one. get up in the morning

"When those people first came to St. Hena Island, Madam kindly took them in and arranged 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 the family members and relatives of the wife. Later, the wife became the younger generation of the family in their mouths. Later, because their surname was Balas, and they were in the Balas business group They stayed for a long time, so they felt that this business group should have their share, and then, until last night, those people might think that the entire Balas business group should be theirs, and Madam became Outsiders..." At this point, Kita punched himself hard in the palm of his hand.

"So that's how it is!" Zhang Tie also sighed. The woman's kindness and tolerance to those in her deceased husband's family had fed their greed and ambition into a beast that wanted to choose anyone by any means. Perhaps, in the hearts of those people, an unreliable single woman has become the last obstacle for them to control the Balas business group. After last night, that woman should also be sober.

After Kita finished telling the story of the Balas family, the sky slowly lit up, and then, Zhang Tie and Kita on the training ground got the news at the same time, after knowing that Olina was assassinated last night After the incident, those members of the Barras family finally arrived at Sea Blue Castle after a whole night.

At the beginning of the month, ask for a monthly pass! (To be continued [This text is provided by the dawn update group x-on:swds 风风风].)
