Chapter 1438
Zerom and Captain Kerlin had been in Xuanyuan Hill for almost 3 months . During this period, although they both knew that Zhang Tie was receiving medical treatment in Xuanyuan Hill, they couldn't have a chance to meet Zhang Tie, even those who were familiar with Zhang Tie .
Milton was the deputy president of Nordinham Commercial Federation, which had a good relationship with Rhesa Republic on the Western Continent . Precisely, Rhesa Republic provided protection to Nordinham Commercial Federation to a certain degree . As one of the most powerful countries on the Western Continent, Rhesa Republic could almost match Sacred Light Empire in overall strength . Its overall strength was far greater than that of Nordinham Commercial Federation; they were not on the same scale at all .
Taixia Country had established an official diplomatic relationship with Rhesa Republic . They had dispatched embassadors mutually . By comparison, because Nordinham Commercial Federation had just risen for dozens of years, such as small force on the Western Continent had not established an official diplomatic relationship with Taixia Country . Actually, it only had a small office in Xuanyuan Hill .
After realizing that Zerom and Captain Kerlin couldn't have a chance to meet Zhang Tie, Milton even dreamed about having Rhesa Republic's diplomat in Xuanyuan Hill to facilitate the relation so that Zerom and Captain Kerlin could enter emperor's imperial city to meet Zhang Tie .
However, such a request was absolutely a big joke for the Rhesa Republic's diplomat in Xuanyuan Hill .
The Rhesa Republic's diplomat in Xuanyuan Hill was aware of Zhang Tie's influence and social status in Taixia Country . How would he dare to guarantee two strange guys to enter the emperor's imperial city without doing any harm to Zhang Tie, who was receiving medical treatment? If an emergency occurred, all the Rhesa Republic's diplomats in Xuanyuan Hill would be sentenced to death; even Rhesa Republic as a whole couldn't bear the fury of Taixia Country . Even the speaker of Rhesa Republic posed the request, their diplomats in Xuanyuan Hill should also confirm it with their domestic authorities before making a decision, not to mention the deputy president of Nordinham Commercial Federation .
Therefore, Milton couldn't have a chance to meet Rhesa Republic's diplomats even though he had tried so many times that he even became emaciated .
After learning the situation from Zerom and Captain Kerlin, Zhang Tie became hesitant for a few seconds before asking, "How's Milton Clan's power in Nordinham Commercial Federation?"
"Milton Clan have one city, some towns and some small mines in Nordinham Commercial Federation . Additionally, they control over 7 million people and have a federal army of about 50,000 people . According to the rankings on wealth issued by Nordinham Commercial Federation, Milton Clan had about 12 million gold coins last year . In addition, they employed a clan knight . . . " Zerom answered .
Stroking his jaw, Zhang Tie continued, "How's the power of Nordinham Commercial Federation?"
"Nordinham Commercial Federation has totally 87 members of parliament, which represent 87 cities . Anyone who has one private city is qualified to join Nordinham Commercial Federation and become a member of the parliament of the federation . The clan of Angor the speaker has an experienced black iron knight and 6 seats of members of parliament in Nordinham Commercial Federation . They're the most powerful one in the federation . There're 5 deputy speakers . Milton Clan has one, who ranks 3rd among the 5 deputy speakers . This man is ambitious, insightful and adventurous . . . "
"They could employ one knight with one city?" Zhang Tie became amazed, "I remember that all the clans which could employ a knight in Waii Subcontinent are unusual . Many knights were No . 1 knights of countries . Andaman Federation had 17 cities; however, they couldn't afford a knight!"
Zerom forced a bitter smile, "Erm, there are a bit more knights on the Western Continent . Cities and countries are a bit more prosperous over there, which could not be matched by Waii Subcontinent . Additionally, these knights employed by small clans don't take too many compensations . Accordingly, they have greater freedom and discretion . Generally, they would not interfere with the common disputes of these clans . Conversely, these clans are a tool of these knights . Actually, employed knights could have these clans do something for them for the sake of convenience . Each takes what they need . There're also many No . 1 knights on Western Continent . Being similar to those in Waii Subcontinent, their compensation are in line with their efforts!"
After hearing Zerom's explanation, Zhang Tie had given up meeting Milton . In Zhang Tie's eyes, this deputy speaker was absolutely a trivial role who had not seen the world . What to negotiate with such a person? Based on the power of Milton Clan, they could at most run a Fiery-Oil Production Base with an annual output of 500,000 tons . It was unnecessary for Zhang Tie to negotiate with him on it .
Like how Zerom had concluded, although Milton was ambitious, insightful and adventurous, such a kind of person could be found almost everywhere across the Western Continent . This guy was just lucky enough to meet Zerom and Captain Kerlin and wanted the two people to introduce him to Zhang Tie for profit . Therefore, they came to Xuanyuan Hill . Such a person was useful; however, it was not necessary to expect too much from him or respect him too much .
With growing experience and ability, Zhang Tie's horizon was far greater than that a few years ago . Even the halos priest of Sacred Light Empire had to kneel down in front of him and become his puppet and piece, not to mention a deputy speaker of a small organization on the Western Continent . In Zhang Tie's eyes, the overall strength of the Milton Clan was so weak that it could even be ignored .
After looking at Zerom and Captain Kerlin, Zhang Tie became hesitant for a few seconds before saying, "Do you want to settle down in Taixia Country . If you want, I could make an arrangement for you . You could settle down wherever you want, even in Xuanyuan Hill, not to mention Guizhou Province and my private territory . If you want, I could have Golden Roc Bank bring your wives and family members here by airboat today!"
After exchanging a glance with each other, Zerom and Captain Kerlin shook their heads at the same time .
"Although Taixia Country is great, I prefer Western Continent . Like how you Hua people like Hua people-populated places, I would also feel comfortable on the Western Continent . Additionally, we could have more chances on the Western Continent . What could we do in Taixia Country?"
Zerom said as Captain Kerlin kept nodding forcefully on one side .
"In many cases, I couldn't even understand people's words here . I'm afraid that I couldn't even find a job in Taixia Country!" the Cyclops let out a sigh as he continued, "There's not even a mercenary regiment here . Even if I want to be a watchdog for rich people, very few people would employ me . Even though I don't have to worry about my daily needs, I don't want to live out my life in retirement so fast . I'm already LV 10; I might make a few more progress in the future . . . "
Zerom and Kerlin were both enterprising and didn't feel like being average for the rest of their lives . Although Taixia Country was great, they still felt that it would be a bit easier to develop a great undertaking on the Western Continent .
"Hmm, I see . . . " Zhang Tie considered it for a few seconds before taking out a remote-sensing finger ring and ten gold checks from his space-teleportation finger ring . Each gold check was worth 10,000 gold coins . Closely after that, he gave them to Zerom and Kerlin as he said, "Take them . You could contact me whenever you want . You'd better live in Xuanyuan Hill for the time being . I will make arrangements for you . Don't worry about that . . . "
Many people might not be able to make a gold check worth 10,000 gold coins for their whole lives . Even Zerom and Kerlin barely saw gold checks of such a big denomination . At the sight of those gold checks, they both felt thirsty . As for the remote-sensing finger ring, it must be a senior communications device matched for knights . Zerom and Kerlin had not seen such a delicate device before at all . What they had seen were as large as alarm clocks and hourglasses .
"Is this a remote-sensing communications device?" Zerom took that remote-sensing communications mithril finger ring and fondled with it seriously .
"Yes, its usage is as same as that of common remote-sensing communications device . Its communication code is the universal code that we used in Wild Wolf Valley!"
After gazing at those gold checks for a few seconds, Captain Kerlin finally moved his eye away from them as he stammered, "It's . . . too much, more than we could spend . . . "
Zhang Tie replied with a smile as he blinked his eyes, "In Xuanyuan Hill, it's not too much . Just take it . I promise that you will not feel it's too much soon!"
After having enough drink and talk, Zhang Tie had already made a decision inside . Therefore, he told the neighboring room, "Qing'er, Suxian, come over here to see my two teachers . They saved my life in Wild Wolf Valley!"
Sitting in the neighborhood, of course, the two female knights could hear Zhang Tie's words . Actually, all the contents of their dialogue had entered their ears .
"Ahh, you've got friends here?" Zerom and Kerlin uttered with an amazed look in unison .
