Chapter 1439: Zhang Tie’s Plan

Translator: WQL Editor: Aleem

After a few hours of journey in the peach mountain and a good talk with Zerom and Kerlin at lunch, it was already late than 2 pm. Zhang Tie, Yan Feiqing and Bai Suxian then left the tavern and returned to Qianji Manor.

Both Bai Suxian and Yan Feiqing were clear about Zhang Tie’s temperament. When Zhang Tie chose to meet Zerom and Kerlin, the two women had already known that Zhang Tie would never let them come here in vain.

Because Zhang Tie was an affectionate person.

The vehicle was a black, low-key, long Fairy-Dragon Limo exclusive to Qianji Manor with a driving license that could access to the emperor’s imperial city. The backspace was isolated from the cab of the vehicle. There was a set of circular sofas and a mini-bar in the backspace. The driver was a powerhouse from Imperial Guards. After coming to the peach mountain, the driver parked it in the parking lot and waited for Zhang Tie, Bai Suxian and Yan Feiqing to come back.

This vehicle returned to Qianji Manor, followed by two vehicles.

“Are you thinking about arranging your two teachers?” Sitting at the back of the vehicle, Bai Suxian made a glass of spirit for Zhang Tie and gave it to him before asking, “I find that they’re also working hard. Why not give them some money or directly buy a city for them on the Western Continent? As long as the relationship between you and them is exposed to the public, I think nobody dares find them trouble on the Western Continent...”

After taking the glass, Zhang Tie had a sip. In a split second, a sour and sweet feeling spread over his body; his tipsy feeling flew away at once. The liquor in this mini-bar was also top-notch. Smacking his lip, Zhang Tie shook his head and said, “Are emperors and lords born to be dignified? Many commoners don’t have a chance to display their ability instead of having no ability. Given cultivation talent, Captain Kerlin could match many senior brothers below knights that I met in the Hidden Dragon Island of Huaiyuan Palace. Over these years, Captain Kerlin has already promoted to LV 10. He could go further in cultivation. Zerom is very wise. His insight and judgment are far greater than commoners. If there’s a chance, the two people would definitely make a great achievement. Therefore, I don’t only intend to give them some money. Actually, I prepare to let Zerom become the speaker of Nordinham Commercial Federation!”

“Ahh, won’t it overreach him?” Yan Feiqing asked as she slightly frowned, “Sometimes, haste makes waste. Additionally, one’s ability couldn’t be trained in one day!”

“I see. I won’t push him. It’s just an objective. He could start by becoming a member of the parliament. I think that Zerom should be able to be a member of the parliament of Nordinham Commercial Federation now. When there’s an opportunity, he could compete for deputy speaker and speaker step by step. As for Kerlin, actually, he’s most suitable to stay in troops as an officer. He’s forthright and is born to be a soldier. If he could join Fiery-Dragon Corps, he might become a corps leader in the future. On the Western Continent, he could coordinate with Zerom to rule his subordinate troops!”

“But the two people should at least have a private city so that Zerom could become a member of the parliament of Nordinham Commercial Federation. Are you ready to buy a city for them on the Western Continent?”

Zhang Tie shook his head as he said, “When the two people talked about Rhesa Republic, I recalled that I actually have a private territory on the Western Continent. If everything goes well, I don’t need to buy any city for them anymore!”

“Ahh, you’ve got a private territory on the Western Continent?” Bai Suxian’s interest was aroused at once as she continued, “I’ve not heard of it! When did you get it?”

Not only Bai Suxian, but even Yan Feiqing’s eyes also shone. As for Yan Feiqing, she was more interested in the source and purpose of Zhang Tie’s “case-dough”.

Zhang Tie smiled as a map that Sacred Light Empire gifted him for mediating the event of its expedition army against Ice and Snow Wilderness appeared in Zhang Tie’s hand. Zhang Tie showed it to Yan Feiqing and Bai Suxian.

“After the expedition fleet that Sacred Light Empire assigned to attack Ice and Snow Wilderness was exterminated, Sacred Light Empire assigned an envoy to negotiate peace with me. That special envoy was called Astor, a chief priest and a clerk of the pope of Sacred Light Empire. According to the pope of Sacred Light Empire, they exchanged for my forgiveness with Fadiland, an enclave on the southwest corner of the Western Continent. I agreed. Therefore, jurisprudentially, I’m already the owner of the autonomous region of Fadiland on the Western Continent!”

“Ah, not bad. Fadiland covers about 6 million square miles although being smaller in size. Additionally, it has a part of the coastline and some islands in the sea in the southern border. It might not lack resources. This place is adjacent to a barbarian federation in the northeast and adjoins Rhesa Republic in the northwest. Now that Sacred Light Empire spent efforts in getting this region, it seems that this region is not too poor...” Bai Suxian analyzed as she watched the map.

“Fadiland Province’s predecessor is Fadiland Empire. After joining the Sacred Light Empire, this region is not bad as a whole besides being a bit chaotic. Additionally, look...” Zhang Tie pointed at a region linking the Barbarian Federation and Rhesa Republic in the north of Fadiland Province which was marked as Nordinham Commercial Federation on the Western Continent. The entire territory of Nordinham Commercial Federation covered about 1,300 square miles. Zhang Tie drew a circle on a place as he said, “As long as I build a city here and buy this region, my private territory would adjoin Nordinham Commercial Federation...”

“This place might link barbarian federation and Rhesa Republic. It covers about 600,000 square miles. Barbarian Federation and Rhesa Republic are both powerful forces that could match the Sacred Light Empire on the Western Continent. God of barbarians and National Saint of Rhesa Republic were both heavenly knights. It might not be easy for you to get land from them!”

Zhang Tie replied with a confident smile, “No need to fight them. As long as the condition is proper, I believe that everything could be exchanged. Now that Sacred Light Empire could cut off Fadiland Empire for me, it’s not strange for Barbarian Federation and Rhesa Republic to cut off some land for me too!”
