"Even though Milton doesn't dare do anything to us, do we have to stay here forever?" The Cyclops complained with a helpless look, "What the hell is this place? I don't think we should come here. Do you know how many gold coins a day it costs for Milton to rent a room in the hotel? It's said that it's cheap. I've saved so many years' worth of gold coins, but it's not even enough to live here for 2 years! Those foreigners who could live in Xuanyuan Hill are all nouveau riche on subcontinents. The number of royal households and nobles on the streets here is even greater than that of prostitutes near the railway station of Blackhot City. It's said that there are more nobles living in the emperor's imperial city. Additionally, look at Milton, he's always arrogant; however, after entering Gold and Power Market, he daren't even breathe heavily. As for people here, those gold coins are like being planted in the ground. They could easily cost millions of gold coins. God knows how heavy those gold coins would be if they were piled up. You know, in Blackhot City … "
"Enough, can you not mention Blackhot City all the time?" Zerom interrupted the one-eyed man, "If you always mention a remote city in a subcontinent, the others would think that we're country bumpkins who have never seen the world..."
"Bumpkins? What's wrong? I feel Blackhot City is good. At least it's better than here!" The Cyclops muttered, "Isn't Zhang Tie also born in Blackhot City? I introduced him to his first job …" "Zhang Tie is Zhang Tie.
"Zhang Tie is Zhang Tie. He's the No. 1 human knight who could kill a heavenly demon knight as a shadow knight. Do you think that we're comparable to him? His current social status is out of our imagination. If not him, who knows that there's a place called Blackhot City in Waii Subcontinent?"
"Therefore, Blackhot City is not bad. At least Blackhot City has a powerful knight!" The Cyclops said stubbornly.
"You feel that Blackhot City is better than here because you don't have money. When you become as rich as those nouveau riche in subcontinents, you will feel that this place is better. Before coming here, do you know how the Human Pharmacists Union looks like? Can you imagine how many human elites and senior professionals are gathered in a building here? Have you seen so many knights? Have you seen so many royals, nobles and beauties of different races on a street? Can you imagine how many rarities, even countries and thrones could be sold in a market?" Zhang Tie's face turned serious as he said, "Blackhot City is better than here because you don't have money. Wait until you become as rich as those nouveau riches in subcontinents. Zerom's voice was full of emotions as if he was talking in a dream, "I feel it's a paradise, a paradise for rich people. Therefore, we have to be rich people. At least you know how powerful people live and how noble people live in Xuanyuan Hill. Compared to here, those capitals on the Western Continent are barren lands for barbarians …"
"Do you think … think Zhang Tie … still treat us as his friends?" The Cyclops became hesitant.
"I feel that you know him better than me. When in Wild Wolf Valley, you gifted him the secret knowledge of Iron-blood Fist. Sometimes, you're much better than me at judging people based on your intuition. At least I had not imagined that Zhang Tie could promote to a knight one day. What do you think about that?"
"I feel … I feel that he's not that kind of person. At least … he wasn't that kind of person before!" The Cyclops' tone turned more meticulous as he slowed down a lot, "But we've not seen each other for many years. When I saw him last time, I felt that I couldn't see through him at all. Based on his current status, I'm afraid that he doesn't want to see us at all …"
"But at least, we still have a chance to see him, right?" Zerom still sounded optimistic, "Even if there's only 1% possibility, it's still worth a trip to Taixia Country. Because it's a chance for us to change our destinies and save a lot of people. Even if there's only 1% possibility, isn't it worth a try? You know, what's important to us might not be important to him anymore; however, what's not important to us is still very important to him. Additionally, we don't want to do harm to him or make him embarrassed. We just want to strive for a chance to cooperate with him. This is beneficial to both parties. As long as he nods his head, we would not have to worry about the rest of our lives. It's not a shameful thing. We're just riding on his coattails at most … "
"Well, I admit that you're right. But now, we only know that he's receiving medical treatment in the emperor's imperial city. We could never enter that place. Even Milton couldn't do that. Zhang Tie doesn't know that we're here either. Do we have to keep waiting here?"
"If we couldn't contact him in 2 months, we would go to his territory and wait for him there. It would be easier for us to meet him there!" Zerom put it straightforwardly.
"What if Milton has left?"
"Let him go then!" Zerom said casually, "You've seen Fiery-Oil airplanes, Fiery-Oil cars and speedboats these days. What do you think about Fiery-Oil?"
"To be honest, I don't believe that fiery oil could be produced by straws. It's simply something that existed before the Catastrophe. It's said that fiery oil could be produced into various powerful weapons in the theater of operations where Taixia army fought demons!"
"Therefore, as long as Zhang Tie nods his head, we could find a new partner with his permission in the Western Continent. If we could produce Fiery-Oil, don't worry that nobody would like to cooperate with us. I'm afraid that they would come for us instead of us …"
After hearing this, Zhang Tie had known the purpose of Zerom and Captain Kerlin in Taixia Country.
Zhang Tie's reputation had already spread to the Western Continent. Additionally, the marvelous Fiery-Oil was also spread. After hearing Zhang Tie's news, the two people came to Taixia Country from the Western Continent and wanted to contact Zhang Tie once again.
Although Zhang Tie had not heard about Milton, he might be someone that Zerom and Captain Kerlin knew in the Western Continent. No matter what, Milton was not important for Zhang Tie at all.
However, Zhang Tie was really amazed by the marvelous fate that he could meet the two people in Xuanyuan Hill.
When he held his first rotating chakra ceremony in Yiyang City, Huaiyuan Prefecture, Waii Subcontinent, Zerom and Captain Kerlin attended the ceremony as backbones of Thor's Mercenary Group under the command of Armes, the mercenary empire. From then on, Zhang Tie had not seen them anymore. Later on, he was told that the two people evacuated from Waii Subcontinent to the Western Continent with the backbones of Thor's Mercenary Group.
From the 895th year of Black Iron Calendar to the 906th year of Black Iron Calendar, Zhang Tie had not seen them for 11 years. Plus the 60 years that he stayed in the tower of time, Zhang Tie had not seen them for 71 years.
Not only Zhang Tie had heard the words of Zerom and Captain Kerlin, but also Bai Suxian and Yan Feiqing had guessed the relationship between Zhang Tie and them.
Zhang Tie didn't listen to them anymore. After making a hand gesture to the two women, he picked himself up and walked out of the private room. After that, he came to the outside of the folding screen and let out a sigh before entering the room calmly.
"Captain Kerlin, Mr. Zerom, long time no see …" Zhang Tie said as he watched the two people sitting in front of a table with a smile.
After hearing this voice, the two people in the room turned around at the same time as if they had seen a ghost.
After 11 years, Zhang Tie was still the same as before. However, Captain Kerlin and Zerom had changed a bit.
Captain Kerlin still looked like a ferocious pirate with a black eyepatch; however, he had more wrinkles on his face. Zerom also had some white hairs on his head. Both of them looked a bit older and more profound. It seemed that they had not been living well in the Western Continent over the past 10-odd years in the chaotic world...
Zerom and Captain Kerlin almost sprung up at the same time. Captain Kerlin had a big belly. When he stood up, he almost turned over the table …
"You … you … you …" At the sight of Zhang Tie, Captain Kerlin pointed at Zhang Tie as he stammered.
Even Zerom who was always resourceful couldn't believe that Zhang Tie suddenly appeared in front of them, not to mention Captain Kerlin.
"What's the color of Shrek's hair …" Zerom's first question made the others confused.
Zhang Tie replied with a smile, "Of course it's brown. Oh, how are Giordan and Professor Simon?"
Zhang Tie was acquainted with these people in Heavens Cold City in Waii Subcontinent. They were all the backbone members of Thor's Mercenary Group. Zhang Tie was punished by the clan elders for taking Zerom and them into Heavens Cold City for first-hand materials of demonized puppets.
"It's really you!" After confirming Zhang Tie's identity, Zerom became very thrilled at once. He wanted to rush towards Zhang Tie; however, he became a bit hesitant.
Noticing that the two people were still a bit hesitant, Zhang Tie directly moved forward and gave each of them a bear hug. Meanwhile, he patted their backs forcefully and said, "It's good that you're alive, it's good that you're alive …"
When they embraced each other, Zhang Tie had a complex feeling as he watched the two familiar faces growing old in such a short distance.
In the Wild Wolf Valley, Zerom and Captain Kerlin had saved his life. How could Zhang Tie forget their kindness?
"Ahh, why is there wind in this room? Even the sand is in my eyes …"
In Zhang Tie's passionate embrace, the eye of the cyclops turned wet at once. The moment Zhang Tie separated from him, the cyclops had said bashfully as he hurriedly wiped off the liquid from his eye corners.
Zerom's eyes also turned a bit red. Only after Zhang Tie's embrace, Zerom had known that Zhang Tie was still the same Zhang Tie in Heavens Cold City …

PS: It's 520 today. Normally, I would only release one chapter; however, today, I will definitely release two chapters. I wish all the single men and girls who are watching Black Iron today could find their perfect partners at this time next year. Good things come in pairs!
