The so-called No.17 super deluxe berth cabin was much worse than the berth cabin in Zhang Tie's private airship.
This berth cabin only covered about 10 square meters. There was a bed, a desk and a separate washroom. The room was suffused with a faint fragrance of lavender.
Apart from the privacy and cleanliness of the room, this place, to put it bluntly, was similar to the most basic single dormitory.
Of course, such a single dormitory was also super luxurious in long-distance transportation like airship.
The water supply in the berth cabin was fixed every day. Once the water supply was used up, there would be no more. The shower function in the washroom was just a decoration. Only when the airship landed on the ground for replenishment and was connected to the supply pipe of the landing base could the shower function be provided.
The average landing time of the airship was 5 days. Therefore, passengers could only take a shower once every 5 days.
The airship provided 3 meals a day. However, passengers had to enjoy them in the canteen at the appointed time. If they exceeded the appointed time, the canteen would be closed. If they wanted to eat or drink something, they had to go to the bar of the airship. The bar of the airship was open 24 hours a day. It provided drinks, meals and some snacks. However, all the consumption had to be paid.
If the weather permitted, the observation deck of the airship would be open 14 hours a day from 7 am to 9 pm.
Passengers were forbidden to enter the cargo compartment, crew's living quarters and working areas.
Open flames were strictly forbidden in Taixia Country. Across the airship, smoking was only allowed on the viewing deck and in the bar area.
Valuables could be stored in the safe of the airship. If passengers lost them, the airship would not be responsible for that.
If everything went well, the airship would arrive at Military Province on October 5th. If there was any weather or mechanical failure or other force majeure, the arrival time might be delayed.
...
After entering the room, Zhang Tie picked up the small board which was marked with the notice to passengers. After reading the introduction on the board, he realized that this was the treatment of the super deluxe berth cabin which cost him 268 gold coins.
However, Zhang Tie didn't care about that. He only wanted to cultivate quietly on the airship. Zhang Tie was pretty satisfied with this small single dormitory.
The only problem was that this body was too tall. As long as Zhang Tie stood up, his head would be less than an arm's length away from the ceiling. Therefore, he felt a bit depressed.
The airship's locker was under the bed, and it was one with the bed.
After looking at the furnishings in the berth cabin, Zhang Tie pulled open the locker under the bed and threw his luggage into the locker.
…
After a few minutes, the first mate boarded the airship with two criminal hunters and started to check tickets one after another. This was a routine procedure.
Although Zhang Tie didn't leave his berth cabin, the moment the two criminal hunters boarded the airship, Zhang Tie had known it.
When the hatch door was knocked, Zhang Tie opened it with a calm look. The first mate and the two criminal hunters were standing outside the hatch door.
"Sir, please show me your ticket!"
The first mate opened his mouth. Zhang Tie then passed his ticket to them.
The two bounty criminal hunters glanced at Zhang Tie's figure and face seriously. One of them even lowered his head and looked at a wanted notice in his hand.
Zhang Tie was very tall. Therefore, he could see the content on the wanted notice.
The first photo on the wanted notice was his. The authenticity of that photo was close to that of a photo. Besides his photo, there were over 20 other photos, all of which were wanted by the Supreme Court of Taixia Country.
In the first 3 months after the wanted notice was confirmed, namely in the first half a year after they escaped, their photos would appear in all the city gates, hotels and transportation hubs across Taixia Country for people's identification.
Because Taixia Country was too large and had too many common criminals, ordinary criminals were not qualified to be seen on the wanted notice. Those people's photos could only be seen in the Building of Brightness or the archives of the judicial agencies across Taixia Country. Only those who had committed major crimes could enjoy the treatment of having their photos travel across the territory of Taixia Country within half a year after they committed crimes and become "celebrities".
After all, Zhang Tie had been the dean of the Provincial Court of Youzhou Province. At the sight of that wanted order, Zhang Tie knew that none of the felons across Taixia Country who had committed more serious crimes than him in recent months. Therefore, his portrait ranked first on the wanted order.
Zhang Tie's face was covered with whiskers. After gazing at Zhang Tie's whiskers, the root of his ears and his lower jaw carefully, the two criminal hunters nodded. The first mate then returned the ticket to Zhang Tie.
"Wish you a pleasant trip, sir!"
The three of them then walked towards the next berth cabin...
After taking the ticket, Zhang Tie closed the door of the berth cabin once again. After that, he stroked his whiskers with a smile.
Among all the senior disguising masks, whiskers were the easiest to expose. Therefore, common disguising masks didn't have whiskers. At the sight of Zhang Tie's whiskers, the two bounty criminal hunters looked at him very seriously. They were experienced.
After closing the door of the berth cabin, Zhang Tie came to the bedside. After taking off his shoes, he sat on the bed with crossed legs and took out an earth-elements crystal from his space-teleportation device.
...
Half an hour later, the two criminal hunters left the airship. Closely after that, all the hatches of the airship were closed. With a slight shock, the airship started to lift off...
At this moment, Zhang Tie had already absorbed the first earth-elements crystal. He then took out the second one...
...
The huge vacuum airship set off for Military Province while Zhang Tie started a new round of cultivation in the airship.
Although he could also eat well in his berth cabin, in case of arousing the suspicion of others, he would walk out of his berth cabin at lunchtime and have lunch in the canteen before returning to his berth cabin to continue his cultivation. He didn't even feel like going to the viewing deck.
In the state of concentration, Zhang Tie cultivated 20 hours a day and absorbed 40 earth-elements crystals a day. In the remaining 4 hours, he practiced those battle skills in "Fire Dragon Sutra" in the trouble-reappearance situations after deducting 2 hours for deep sleep and 1 hour for eating, drinking and urinating...
This small berth cabin became the place for Zhang Tie to enter secluded cultivation once again.
Zhang Tie's ferocious look plus his figure would bring an oppressive feeling to others wherever he was. Therefore, very few people dared come over to greet him when he walked out of the hatch to have lunch. As a result, Zhang Tie became more tranquil and focused on cultivation.
The pile of earth-elements crystals that Zhang Tie plundered from Waii Subcontinent also started to be consumed rapidly.
5 days later, when the airship landed on the ground for the first time and started to replenish, the 15th dragon scale on Zhang Tie's knight's crystal plate lit up...
Later on, Zhang Tie was completely fixed at lighting one scale every 8 days. He completely forgot about the time...
...
The vacuum airship flew across provinces, prefectures, mountains and ridges and headed for Military Province...
Zhang Tie's earth-elements crystals were being consumed constantly...
Time passed day by day, surging forward like a stream of water, never to return …
Zhang Mushen, the former dean of the Provincial Court of Youzhou Province, was still wanted by Taixia Country...
The land under his foot gradually turned from green to yellow...
...
Until one day, the hatch door of Zhang Tie's berth cabin No. 17 was knocked by someone from outside.
A voice drifted from outside, "Sir, the airship will arrive at the Flooding Thunder Battlefortress in Military Province in 1 hour. Please pack up your belongings and prepare to get off the airship.
Zhang Tie, who was sitting with crossed legs and absorbing earth-elements crystals, opened his eyes as a red light flashed across his eyes...
'Have I arrived? '
Zhang Tie put away the half-absorbed earth-elements crystal. After that, he got off the bed and put on his shoes. After stretching his limbs, he warmed up his body. After that, he opened the locker under his bed and took out his military luggage. After that, he calmly opened the door of the berth cabin and walked out.
A calendar plate on the aisle outside the berth cabin clearly indicated today's time.
October 7th, the 900th year of Black Iron Calendar.
Translator: WQL Editor: Aleem The airship arrived 2 days later than the scheduled time because it encountered a rare heavy thunderstorm when it passed by Guanzhou Province 2 months ago. As a result, the airship had to stop in Guanzhou Province for 2 more days.
As usual, many people were gathering on the viewing deck of the airship. After hearing that they were going to arrive at their destination, many passengers walked out of their cabins and came to the deck outside to watch the scenery below.
Zhang Tie also came to the viewing deck with his military luggage. At the sight of Zhang Tie's iron-mountain-like figure, even though it was a bit crowded on the viewing deck, those people in front of him hurriedly gave way to Zhang Tie.
'What a joke! At the sight of this tough man, I've known that he's not easy to deal with. He might be here to join the army in Military Province. Now that we've arrived at our destination, it would be not worthwhile for us to suffer a fracture. '
It was Zhang Tie's first time to come to the viewing deck of the airship since he boarded this airship.
The land under his foot was golden, which indicated that it was the harvest season. The maple leaves on a mountain in the distance were as red as fire. The entire mountain seemed to be on fire...
There were no towns on the land, only battle fortresses.
"Wow, is this the Military Province? It's all battle fortresses below!" A passenger who came to Military Province for the first time exclaimed on the deck...
"It's said that the largest battle fortress in Military Province could match Class A cities..."
"All the commoners and factories here are in the battle fortress!"
They were in a heated discussion...
Zhang Tie came to the side of the guardrail of the viewing deck. Closely after that, he jumped into the air.
On the viewing deck, his dangerous movement aroused exclamations at once, 'Does this tough man want to die?'
Closely after that, everybody became dumbfounded. The tough man didn't fall down; instead, he rose up like a bird and stopped in the air...
'Knight? Is that tough man a knight? ' 'I've not imagined that there's a knight among the passengers on the way here. '
The airship was in an uproar...
Zhang Tie ignored the uproar on the airship. After identifying the direction, he directly flew towards the setting sun.
Only after a few seconds, the grass-green military luggage on his back had disappeared from the sight of the others... (What a great activity! Cool mobile phones are waiting for you!)
