"Even if Milton doesn't dare to do anything to us, are we going to stay here forever?" The one-eyed dragon's voice sounded, full of complaints and helplessness, "This place is so damned, I don't think we should come here.
Do you know how much gold coins a day the room in the hotel Milton rented costs? I heard it is quite cheap. I have saved so much money over the years, and it is not even enough to live here for two years! To be able to live in Xuanyuan Hill
The foreigners other than the Chinese are all the nouveau riche on the subcontinent. There are more royal nobles on the streets here than there were prostitutes near the Black Flame City train station before. This is still outside Xuanyuan Hill. I heard that the Great Emperor
There are more nobles living in the city, and there is also Jinquanfang City. You see, Milton is usually very arrogant, but when he enters Jinquanfang City, he doesn't even dare to breathe. For the people here,
, those gold coins are as if they were grown from the ground, and they can easily cost millions and millions. God knows how heavy those gold coins would be if they were piled together. You must know that in Black Flame City before..."
"Okay, can you stop talking about Black Flame City!" Jerome interrupted the one-eyed dragon, "You keep talking about a remote city in the subcontinent. When others hear it, they will know that we have never seen the world.
The country bumpkin..."
"What's wrong with the country bumpkin? I think Black Flame City is pretty good, at least better than here!" One-eyed Dragon muttered, "Isn't Zhang Tie also from Black Flame City? I introduced him to his first job.
…”
"Zhang Tie is Zhang Tie. He is now the number one knight of the human race who can kill the demon Sky Knight in the Phantom Knight stage. Do you think there is any comparison between us and him now? His current status is beyond our imagination.
Yes, if it weren’t for him, who would have known there was a place called Black Flame City in the Hawaiian subcontinent?”
"So Black Flame City is not bad, at least Black Flame City has a powerful knight!" One-eyed Dragon said stubbornly.
"The reason why you think Black Flame City is better than here is because you have no money. One day, when you are as rich as those nouveau riche in the subcontinent, you will think this place is better. Before you came here
, do you know what the Human Alchemist Guild looks like? Can you imagine that there are so many human elites and high-level professionals gathered in one building here? Have you seen so many knights at one time? Can you imagine it in one street?
Have you ever seen so many royal nobles and beauties of all races? Can you imagine that so many rare treasures, even countries and thrones can be sold in public in a market?" Jerome's voice was filled with emotion.
Emotions are like murmuring in a dream, "I think this is paradise. A paradise for rich people, so we must become rich people. This visit to Xuanyuan Hill will at least let you know what the life of a real powerful person is like."
What kind of life can one live like? What kind of life can a true nobleman live like? Compared with here, those capitals in the Western Continent are barbaric barbarians..."
"Then do you think... do you think Zhang Tie will still regard us as friends now?" The one-eyed dragon's voice hesitated.
"This question, I think you know him better than me. Back in Wild Wolf Valley, you personally gave him the secret book of "Iron-Blooded Fist". When it comes to judging people, sometimes you rely on your feelings to compare.
I am much better with my brain, at least at that time I didn’t expect that Zhang Tie would become a knight one day and be able to reach this point, what do you think?”
"I think...I think he's not that kind of person. At least...he wasn't that kind of person before!" Speaking of Zhang Tie, One-Eyed Dragon's tone became much more cautious and his speaking speed slowed down a lot, "But we
I haven’t seen him for many years. The last time I saw him, I felt that I couldn’t see through him at all. With his current status, I’m afraid he won’t even bother to see us..."
"But at least, we will still have the possibility to see him, right?" Jerome's voice is still optimistic, "Even if there is only one percent chance, it is still worth a trip to Taixia, because this is us
The opportunity to change one's own destiny and save many people at the same time. Even if there is only a one percent chance, isn't it worth giving it a try? You have to know, maybe what seems important to us is important to him.
, is no longer important, but what seems unimportant to us is still very important in his heart. Besides, we are not looking for him to harm him or make things difficult for him. We just want to win cooperation.
It's just an opportunity. This is something that benefits both parties. As long as he nods his head, you and I won't have to worry about it for the rest of our lives. This is not a shameful thing. At most, it's a hug..."
"Okay, I admit that you are right, but now, we only know that he is receiving treatment in the Imperial City of the Great Emperor. It is impossible for us to enter that place. Even Milton can't do anything, and Zhang Tie doesn't know.
We are here, do we have to wait here forever?"
"If it doesn't work here, and there is still no way to contact him in two months, we will go directly to his territory and wait for him to come back. It should be easier to see him there than here!" Jerome said simply
.
"What if Milton leaves?"
"Then let him go!" Jerome said nonchalantly, "These days you have seen candle oil airplanes, candle oil cars, and speedboats on the water. What do you think of candle oil?"
"To be honest, I can't believe that candle oil is produced from geographical straw. It is something that was only available before the catastrophe. I heard that candle oil can still be produced in the war zone where the Taixia army fought with the demons.
Come out with all kinds of powerful weapons!"
"So, as long as Zhang Tie can nod, in the Western Continent, we can use his permission to find new partners. If we can produce candle oil, are you afraid that no one will be willing to cooperate with us? I'm afraid we won't need to find others by then.
Others will come to us..."
When Zhang Tie heard this, he already knew the purpose of Jerome and Captain Colin coming to Taixia.
His current reputation has spread to the Western Continent, and along with his reputation, there is also the magical candle oil. It was precisely because of hearing the news about him that the two people came to Taixia from the Western Continent, wanting to be with him.
Get in touch again.
Zhang Tie had never heard of that Milton, but he was probably someone Jerome and Captain Colin knew in the Western Continent. Anyway, that Milton was of no importance to Zhang Tie.
On the contrary, Zhang Tie was amazed at the magic of fate when he met these two people in Xuanyuan Hill.
The last time he saw two people was when he first conducted the transfer ceremony in Yiyang City, Huaiyuan County, Hawaii subcontinent. Captain Jerome and Colin were the backbone of the Thor mercenary group under the mercenary empire Ames.
After coming to watch the ceremony, Zhang Tie never saw the two of them again. It was only later that he heard that the two of them had evacuated from the Weiyi subcontinent and arrived in the Western Continent with the backbone of the Thunder God Mercenary Group.
From the year 895 of the Black Iron Calendar to the present year 906 of the Black Iron Calendar, in the blink of an eye, it has been 11 years. Zhang Tie has not seen the two of them. If you include the 60 years Zhang Tie spent in the Tower of Time, Zhang Tie has already
I haven't seen them in 71 years.
What Jerome and Captain Colin said was not only heard by Zhang Tie, but also by Bai Suxian and Yan Feiqing. They also roughly guessed the relationship between Zhang Tie and them.
Zhang Tie did not listen anymore, but made a gesture to the two women, stood up, walked out of the private room, and then walked directly to the screen outside the room where the two of them were, exhaled gently, and then left calmly.
Go in.
"Captain Colin, Teacher Jerome, long time no see..." Zhang Tie entered the room and looked at the two people sitting in front of a table with a smile.
Hearing this voice, the two people in the room suddenly turned their heads at the same time, and their faces looked like they had seen a ghost.
After 11 years of not seeing each other, Zhang Tie is still the same Zhang Tie, his face has not changed at all, while both Captain Colin and Jerome have undergone some changes.
Captain Colin still wears the black eyepatch. He looks like a ferocious pirate, but there are some wrinkles on his face. Jerome also has a few white hairs on his head. Both of them are old.
Some of them have a deeper temperament. It seems that in the past ten years or so, in the troubled times, the two of them have not been living well in the Western Continent...
Jerome and Captain Colin almost jumped up at the same time, as if being bounced by springs. Captain Colin's belly was so big that when he stood up, he almost overturned the table in the room...
"You...you...you..." Suddenly seeing Zhang Tie, Captain Colin pointed at Zhang Tie with his tongue tied.
Not to mention Captain Colin, even Jerome, who had always been resourceful, couldn't believe that Zhang Tie suddenly appeared in front of the two of them.
"What color is Shrek's hair..." Jerome's first sentence was a question that baffled others.
Zhang Tie smiled and said, "Of course it's brown. By the way, are Jordan and Professor Simon okay?"
The people Zhang Tie mentioned all met Zhang Tie in Tianhan City in the Wei subcontinent. These people are all key members of the Thunder God Mercenary Group. At the beginning, Zhang Tie took Zheluo with him because of violating the ban.
Mu and the others entered Tianhan City to obtain first-hand materials for demonizing puppets, only to be punished by the family elders.
"It's really you!" After confirming Zhang Tie's identity, Jerome became extremely excited and wanted to rush over, but hesitated slightly.
Seeing that the two people were still hesitant, Zhang Tie stepped forward, gave each of them a bear hug, and patted their backs hard, "It's good to be alive, it's good to be alive..."
While hugging, watching the two people at close range and watching the familiar faces grow old, Zhang Tie felt a complicated feeling in his heart that was hard to put into words.
Once in the Wild Wolf Valley, Captain Jerome and Colin saved his life. How could Zhang Tie forget such a kindness?
"Ah, why is it so windy in this room? The sand got into my eyes..."
In Zhang Tie's warm and indifferent embrace, the one-eyed dragon's eye suddenly became wet. Zhang Tie separated, and the one-eyed dragon said a little embarrassedly, and quickly wiped away the liquid from the corner of his eye.
Jerome's eyes were also a little red, but with just a hug from Zhang Tie, Jerome knew that the Zhang Tie in front of him was still the same Zhang Tie from Tianhan City, and had not changed...

ps, today is 520. Tiger sometimes updates only once on weekdays, but today, there will be double updates. I wish all the single men and single girls who are watching Black Iron today can find their perfect other half at this time next year. Sweet things and good things.
