- "A big deal?" Zhang Tie's expression changed, "Did something happen to my family?"
"There is indeed something big going on in your family, and the whole Black Flame City is 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 cool. A family that can use an airship to fly from Jinyun Kingdom to Black Flame City is certainly not an ordinary family. But the strange thing is that his parents have never mentioned it in these years. Zhang Tie felt that there seemed to be something fishy in it.
After knowing that his family was fine 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. land. Zhang Tie felt relaxed all over, 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 from the family is definitely a thousand times better than being in Black Flame City now. Originally, Zhang Tie was still 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. Hearing such news, the expression on Zhang Tie's face could be described as a mixture of surprises and confusion, changing back and forth like a big dye vat. Finally, when the expression on Zhang Tie's face calmed down completely , 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 don't know where you are hiding. Your family members I and the people from Huaiyuantang have been looking for you in Bulape for two days, but there is still no news, and finally they have 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 members have already come to see me! I wonder how worried my parents should be after knowing that something happened to them and they were wanted? Zhang Tie's heart clenched slightly 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. Please tell people over there to pay attention to the news about your family members, and we can help you bring the news to them after your family members land!¡±
"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. You write down what you want to say, and we will send the same content." Send it 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. , then thought for a while, and then left a few lines of words.
¡ª¡ªMom, 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. Your son is mine. Not one of them 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 be wronged. Sister-in-law, you have to You have to pay more attention to your health after giving birth. Everyone is thinking about me. 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 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 thought of the books he had read in the library that introduced how advanced human communications were when humans had network technology before the Cataclysm. He couldn't help but sigh. If such news had been sent before the Cataclysm, it would have taken a long time. The price and cost, maybe the money to buy a steamed bun is enough to send ten messages like this, which is more than enough. This is really the moment and the moment.
"Do you have any more questions?" the old man asked Zhang Tie.
¡°I want to know why Major Franka 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¡¯s related to the disappearance of soldiers from the 21st Brape Division, so a wanted order from the military was issued!¡±
Cruel, so 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 once he was intercepted by the Iron Horn Legion's airship when he was escaping, he would have to wait. His end was definitely a dead end, what he did in Brape. All of his men were involved. Under the harsh scrutiny of the army, even the most determined people would speak, let alone the 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 don'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 also be no good fruit to eat.
It¡¯s so crazy and vicious! Perhaps when that guy was scheming 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 possible result of a secret about himself that even he didn't know what it was, but that could make him soar into the sky. That person is so decisive and cruel, is it really worth it?
Major Franke¡¯s cruelty 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 the difference between people.
"I would also like to ask, if I go to Jinyun State Huaiyuantang now, can you provide me with such a service?"
"Karur is the most important transportation hub in this region. An airship flies from here to Jinyun Country every two months. Recently, due to the war, many people choose to leave this area from Karur. Airship The positions are relatively tight. The latest airship 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 space? Zhang Tie was speechless for a while. Now he doesn't want to stay here for another two months. Maybe before leaving, he also wants to quietly go back to Black Flame City to have a look. He still has some concerns about Black Flame City, but it will definitely not last more than two months. In terms of time, a round trip from here to Black Flame City, even by train, would only take about a week.
"Is there a faster way?"
"Yes, you can also charter an airship to take you to Jinyun Country for a short period of time, 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? Or the lowest entry standard? Zhang Tie took a breath of air-conditioning. If this amount of money is calculated according to the valuation compensation standards of the Gregory family for his little life, which has already been regarded as a premium, Zhang Tie would have to sell himself a hundred times to get this amount. , and based on their father's salary, most ordinary people would have to work for at least 40,000 years to earn 500,000 gold coins. Damn it, this is why a nouveau riche family like Black Flame City Gregory can reach 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 Kingdom in a short time, but at this time, he does not have such air transportation resources. The extremely popular moment allowed Jinpeng Bank to specially mobilize the qualifications for an airship for him. The highest service the bank can provide him is 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 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 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 Huaiyuantang Zhang family, the Zhang family will definitely not watch a descendant of the family. Being wanted in a foreign country and being ignored? 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 Huaiyuantang was so awesome. The head of the family was actually a noble of the human race, with the title of Earl of Changfeng. When he thought about it, an idea suddenly flashed in Zhang Tie's mind. It seemed that he suddenly understood something. All his worries were actually based on his previous identity and social relationships. If he became a member of Huaiyuantang at this moment, then
"You mean"
"The leader of the Norman Empire's secret police is Baron Pompeii. He is also a hereditary human nobleman of the Norman Empire. Baron Pompeii has some feud 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 noble by going to war against someone who is insignificant in his eyes? If you hadn't killed dozens of secret policemen in Brape, this matter couldn't have been concealed. It's really hard to live with, otherwise, even the royal family of the Norman Empire would not offend a human count family for no reason, let alone a viscount of the Norman Empire. 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 actively clamor to go back, there will be no problem.¡±
After what the old man said, Zhang Tie instantly felt like the sun was shining through the clouds. It turned out. What he was most worried about was nothing more than a joke. It's just a show, it's just something some big shots do to show others how to save their own face.
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. the result of. At this moment, I estimate that I am a transparent person in the Norman Empire.
Just as unexpected things often happen in a person's life, the probability of the worst-case scenario that many people worry about most in their lives is actually very low. Zhang Tie's experience once again confirmed this sentence. What he didn't expect happened, and what he was most worried about was completely black humor.
Poor Major Frank!
¡°My wanted order is fake, and his wanted order cannot be real anymore. Not only the imperial government, but also the secret police are probably secretly looking for him. The trap he created in Brape was really big.
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, "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 too 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 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 choose mortgage or auction. !¡±
"Auction?" Zhang Tie's heart moved.
"Yes, the auction, the annual winter auction of 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 person to Karur City. Put the ring 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 I realized what it is to be unable 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 on his own. Moreover, Zhang Tie planned to quietly return to Black Flame City after attending the auction in Karur.
What¡¯s more, 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
