"A big deal?" Zhang Tie's expression changed, "Did something happen to my family?"
"Something happened to your family, and the whole Black Flame City was in shock!"
"Could it be the secret police..." Thinking of this possibility, Zhang Tie broke into a cold sweat. Literature Museum
"No, it has nothing to do with the secret police. What no one expected is that your family is actually a member of the Zhang family of Huaiyuantang in Jinyun Country. A few days ago, the Zhang family of Huaiyuantang came to Black Flame City in an airship. , pick up everyone in your family!"
Zhang Tie's head felt as if he had been struck by lightning, and he was dumbfounded. What Zhang Tie never imagined was that his family was actually related to the Zhang family of Huaiyuantang in Jinyun Kingdom. They are from the Zhang family. My father and mother have never said anything like this before. Why do so many relatives suddenly appear in my family? And it sounds very awesome. The family that used an airship to fly from Jinyun Kingdom to Black Flame City was certainly not an ordinary family. But the strange thing was that his parents had never mentioned it in these years, and Zhang Tie felt that there seemed to be something fishy about it.
After knowing that his family was okay and he was picked up by the Zhang family, Zhang Tie felt surprised and happy at the moment. The biggest stone that had been hanging in Zhang Tie's heart for the past few days finally fell. Zhang Tie felt relaxed all over his body, as if another bright spot had been ignited, an indescribable feeling of comfort.
For Zhang Tie, it doesn't matter how much hardship he endures or how many hardships and dangers he goes through, as long as his parents, brothers and sisters-in-law are fine. As a member of the Zhang family, being taken back by someone in the family is absolutely It was a thousand times better than being in Black Flame City now. Originally, Zhang Tie was racking his brains to plan how to get his parents away from Black Flame City. Now, all the problems were solved.
The old man kept observing the expression on Zhang Tie's face. After hearing such news, the expression on Zhang Tie's face was full of surprises and confusion, changing back and forth like a big dye vat. Finally, , when the expression on Zhang Tie's face completely calmed down, the old man then told the second news.
"On the second day of the Brape Oktoberfest, Huanyuantang's airship arrived in Brape. I originally wanted to pick you up, but by that time you were already wanted. You didn't know where you were hiding. Your family members I and the people from Huaiyuantang searched for you in Bulape for two days, but there was still no news, and finally they had to leave. According to the speed of the airship, they may arrive in Jinyun Country in about a week!"
It turns out that my family has already come to see me! I wonder how worried my parents must be after knowing that something happened to me and that I am wanted? Zhang Tie's heart was slightly twitched again.
"Can Jinpeng Bank contact my family now?"
"No! At least not yet." The old man shook his head, "Jinpeng Bank also has a branch on the territory of the Zhang family in Huaiyuantang. If you want to contact your family, we can send the news back to Jinyun first. Country, let people over there pay attention to the news about your family members, and after your family members land, we can help you bring the news to them!"
"Okay. That's it!" Zhang Tie suddenly made a decision in his heart, "Bring a message to my family and tell them that I am fine and fine now. I will come to them soon and tell them not to worry about me! "
The old man smiled. He took out a form with a standard format from the drawer next to the table, "We charge per word for long-distance remote sensing communications, including punctuation marks. You write down what you want to say, and we will
The same content will be sent to your family word for word like a letter!"
Looking at the fixed-format form in his hand, Zhang Tie smiled sheepishly, then grabbed a pen and wrote the names of his father, mother and brother among the first three contacts on the form.
, and then after thinking for a while, he left a few lines of words.
——Mom, Dad, brother and sister-in-law, I’m fine, I’m fine. You don’t have to worry about me. I already know that you were picked up by the Huaiyuantang airship. Especially mom, you don’t have to worry about me. I have nothing to do with your son.
No one fell off, and I can still eat and dance now. And brother, take good care of your parents. If necessary, what I told Tang De can be used as your trump card. They should know its value.
Don't let your parents suffer. Sister-in-law, you are going to have a baby. You should also pay more attention to your health. Everyone misses me and I will find a way to come back as soon as possible!
After finishing writing, Zhang Tie read it carefully again and felt that almost everything he wanted to say was here, so he handed the piece of paper to the old man.
"Well, these things need to be sent out, and people over there have to pay attention to deliver them to your family. Let me take a look, a total of 36 gold coins are needed!"
"no problem!"
Dad's salary for the past three years was delivered to his family at this time. In the past, Zhang Tie would have been so frightened by this number that he would have stuck out his tongue. But now, although the price is a bit high, it is still reasonable.
Within Zhang Tie's tolerance, as long as his parents can worry less about him, everything will be worth it.
This kind of remote sensing communication that is thousands of miles away is really not something ordinary people can afford. Zhang Tie couldn't help but think about the advanced level of human communication when humans had network technology before the catastrophe, which he had read in the library books.
I sighed in my heart, if such a message had been sent before the catastrophe, the price and cost would be enough to buy a steamed bun. It would be more than enough to send ten such messages. This is really the moment and the moment.
.
"Any more questions?" the old man asked Zhang Tie.
"I want to know why Major Franke is wanted?"
The old man told the story of the Iron Horn Corps intercepting Major Franke's airship on the day of Oktoberfest and the subsequent discovery of Major Franke's disappearance. "The Northern Xinjiang Military District of the Norman Empire identified Major Franke and his secret police as
It is related to the disappearance of soldiers from the 21st Brape Division, so a wanted order from the military was issued!"
Cruel, really cruel! This was Zhang Tie's inner evaluation of Franka when he heard that the secret policemen working with Franka were poisoned to death. That guy must have known that if he was killed by Tie Jiao when he escaped,
Legion's airship interception, then waiting for his end is definitely a dead end. Those things he did in Brape. His men were all involved. Under the strict scrutiny of the army, even those who are determined to speak will have to speak, let alone
those secret police
And this time he had a huge conflict with himself in Brape because of his selfishness, and directly pushed the secret police system to the forefront of the confrontation with the Iron Horn Legion. This is definitely something the big shots who sent him to Brape didn't want to see.
Yes, even if he can go back, the secret police system will definitely conduct a detailed investigation on this matter, waiting for him. There will be no good fruits.
It's so crazy and cruel! Perhaps when that guy was plotting against himself, he was already thinking of finding an opportunity to kill all his men together, so that it would be safe.
Just for a secret about himself that he didn't even know what it was, but that could make him fly into the sky, just for a possible result. That person was so decisive and vicious, was it really worth it?
Major Franka's ruthlessness made Zhang Tie feel a little chilled. Zhang Tie knew that if he were in Major Franka's position, he would never be as ruthless and decisive as that guy.
This is where the difference between people lies.
"I would also like to ask, if I go to Huaiyuan Hall of Jinyun State at this moment, can you provide me with such services?"
"Karur is the most important transportation hub in this region. An airship flies from here to Jinyun Country every two months. Due to the war recently, many people choose to leave this area from Karur. Airship
The positions are relatively tight. The latest airship just left Karur yesterday. If you want to book an airship space for Jinyun in two months, we can book it for you. You can take the airship to Jinyun.
country, and then transfer to another airship from Jinyun Kingdom to the territory of the Zhang family."
It takes two months to book a cabin? Zhang Tie was speechless for a while. Now he didn't want to stay here for another two months. Maybe before leaving, he wanted to quietly go back to Black Flame City to have a look. In Black Flame City,
He is still a little worried, but it definitely won't take two months. Even if he takes a train to go back and forth from here to Black Flame City, about a week will be enough.
"Is there a faster way?"
"Yes, you can also charter an airship for a short period of time to send you to Jinyun Country, but we may not be able to provide you with such a service!" "Why?" Zhang Tie was a little dazed.
"Because all the airships in Karur that can be chartered have been chartered by others at this time, Jinpeng Bank can transfer an airship from other places, but we only provide this kind of service to the bank's VIP customers, you
You are not our VIP customer, so we cannot provide you with such service!"
“What are the minimum requirements to become a VIP customer of your bank?”
"The minimum standard for a yellow-level VIP is to have a deposit of more than 500,000 gold coins in Jinpeng Bank!" the old man replied calmly.
500,000 gold coins? Is it still the lowest entry standard? Zhang Tie took a breath of air-conditioning. If this money is calculated according to the valuation compensation standard of the Gregory family for his little life, which is already regarded as a premium, Zhang Tie wants to
You have to sell it a hundred times to get this amount. If you rely on your father's salary, most ordinary people would have to earn 500,000 gold coins, and they would have to work for at least 40,000 years. Damn, this is like
Only a nouveau riche family like Gregory of Black Flame City can meet the minimum standard to become a yellow-level VIP of Jinpeng Bank.
Zhang Tie has completely given up the idea of chartering an airship at this time. Maybe he can afford to charter an airship to Jinyun Country in a short time, but at this time, he does not have such air transportation resources.
At this extremely popular time, Jinpeng Bank specially mobilized the qualifications for an airship for him. The highest service the bank could provide him was to help him book a flight ticket to Jinyun in two months.
Zhang Tie is considering whether to book a ticket of this class.
"Young man, do you want to listen to my advice?" The information manager of Jinpeng Bank looked at Zhang Tie with a pair of wise eyes.
"Please tell me!"
"I think you don't have to worry about finding a way to go back on your own right now!"
"Why!"
"Haha, when you are anxious to go back, the Zhang family may be thinking of ways to get you back. You seem to be helpless at the moment, but in fact the situation may not be as bad as you think. You put the most important thing
Neglected at all?”
"What did I overlook?"
"You have overlooked that although you are wanted at the moment, there is an extremely powerful family behind you. The Huaiyuantang Zhang family is not only a prominent family in the Jinyun Kingdom, but also a noble family among the human race. The head of the Huaiyuantang family has been respected for generations.
In inheriting the family's hereditary human noble title. The name of Earl Changfeng is not unknown in the entire Weiyi subcontinent. If you are really a descendant of the Zhang family of Huaiyuantang, the Zhang family will definitely not watch a descendant of the family helplessly.
Being wanted in a foreign country and turning a blind eye? If you are really caught, where will Huaiyuantang's face be?"
Zhang Tie's eyes widened. He didn't expect that the Zhang family of Huaiyuan Hall was so awesome. The head of the family was actually a noble in the human race, with the title of Earl of Changfeng. Thinking of this, Zhang Tie immediately had a flash of inspiration in his brain. He seemed to understand something all of a sudden.
All his worries were actually based on his previous identity and social relationships. If he became a member of Huaiyuan Hall at this moment, then...
"You mean..."
"The leader of the secret police of the Norman Empire is Baron Pompeii. He is also a hereditary human nobleman of the Norman Empire. Baron Pompeii has some feuds with Marshal Lin Changjiang, the governor of the Northern Territory of the Norman Empire. Do you think a viscount would be willing to arrest a
To offend a count who is also a human aristocrat by going to war against someone who is insignificant in his eyes? If you hadn't killed dozens of secret policemen in Brape at one go, this matter really couldn't be concealed. It would be a shame not to publicly arrest you.
It's really hard to live with, otherwise, even the royal family of the Norman Empire would not offend a human earl family for no reason for a trivial matter. Let alone a viscount of the Norman Empire. I dare to bet with you, as long as you don't do it now
If you take the initiative to run to the gate of the Nottingburg Secret Police Headquarters and shout that you are Zhang Tie, no one from the secret police in the entire Norman Empire will dare to take the initiative to trouble you! And for this reason, even though you left Tiejiao
Legion. The Iron Horn Legion will probably handle your matter coldly, as long as you don’t take the initiative to clamor to go back, there will be no problem.”
After what the old man said, Zhang Tie instantly had a feeling of clearing up the clouds. It turned out that what he was most worried about was simply a joke. It was just a show, and it was just something some big shots did for their own sake.
Others see it.
If he did not have the background of Huaiyuantang who suddenly ran out, the wanted order would be real. With this background, and the conflict with the secret police that day was originally a conspiracy designed by Major Franke, then this wanted order
The order was not so much a wanted order as it was a polite deportation order not to welcome him to publicly appear in the Norman Empire as Zhang Tie again. The Iron Horn Legion also acquiesced. This was the compromise between the three parties after the wanted order.
As a result, I estimate that I am now a transparent person in the Norman Empire.
Just like unexpected things often happen in a person's life, the probability of the worst situation that many people worry about most in their lives is actually very low. Zhang Tie's experience once again confirms this sentence
, something he didn't expect happened, and what he was most worried about was completely black humor.
Poor Major Frank!
His wanted order is fake, and his wanted order cannot be real anymore. Not only the imperial government, but also the secret police are probably looking for him quietly. He is in this trap in Brape
, it’s really a big deal.
This trip to Jinpeng Bank was really the right one, Zhang Tie said to himself in his heart.
"If what I expected is correct, as long as your parents receive your message and the people in Huaiyuantang know that you are in Karur, they will definitely contact you and confirm the details of taking you back!"
"How can they contact me?"
"Since you have contacted your family through Jinpeng Bank, as long as you stay in Karur for a few more days, they will only need to contact you through Jinpeng Bank!"
Zhang Tie's heart instantly brightened and he let out a long breath. He looked at the old man sincerely and said very seriously, "Thank you!"
"You're welcome, young man, because according to the bank's rules, there is a fee for talking to me!" The old man blinked.
Zhang Tie laughed and said, "No problem, it's money well spent!"
"So, do you think that including the 36 gold coins you sent the message to your family and my consulting fee, the total service fee of 100 gold coins this time is not expensive?"
“Not expensive!”
"Then do you need anything else?"
Zhang Tie scratched his head, glanced at the Vitality Ring on the table again, gritted his teeth, "I don't have so much money with me now, can I pledge this ring to you first?"
"Okay!" The old man glanced at Zhang Tie, "If you want to mortgage this ring with our bank, we can issue you a credit limit of 8,000 gold coins. This time, the 100 gold coins will be included in your credit limit.
Interest will be calculated on a daily basis based on your loan from the bank until you redeem the ring. If you are in urgent need of money, there will be a very large-scale auction at the Sowers Auction House in Karur City in two days.
, you can entrust the ring to us and hand it over to Sowers Auction House to help you auction it. If it is auctioned, the starting price of this ring will be more than 10,000 gold coins, and it should be able to sell for a good price. It is up to you to decide whether to mortgage or auction.
!”
"Auction?" Zhang Tie's heart moved.
"Yes, the auction. The annual winter auction held by Sols Auction House in Karur City is very famous in the entire Andaman League!"
…
Ten minutes later, Zhang Tie left Jinpeng Bank. It was different from when he came. When he left Jinpeng Bank, the bank sent a car to take him directly to Karur City. Zhang Tie had decided to take the energetic man to Karur City.
Put it up for auction.
Although the rune equipment made of mithril is rare, for Zhang Tie at this moment, its effect is not as real as naked and heavy gold coins. At Karur at this moment, the piles of war refugees made Zhang Tie really
He realized what it is to move without money. As long as he has money in his pocket, even if the people from Huaiyuantang cannot come to pick him up, he will have more space and resources to find a way to Jinyun Country. Moreover, Zhang Tie is also preparing to go to Jinyun Country.
After Karur finished attending the auction, he quietly returned to Black Flame City.
More importantly, in addition to some weird things, this auction will also have some things that Zhang Tie is particularly interested in, such as the large number of golden unicorns prepared for the alchemist...
