Castle of Black Iron - Chapter 1687: Dragon Emperor City

One week later, all the 70-odd airboats of Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace finally arrived at Dragon Emperor City, the core city of Dragon Emperor Realm on April 7th, the 3584th year of Calendar of Emperor NvWa in Motian Realm after passing by so many air zones and Brokenstars Ocean for over 20 days.

At the sight of Dragon Emperor City, Zhang Tie had been shocked by the high building of immortal palace which was higher than 10,000 m.

For a time, the dense airboats in the sky almost reminded Zhang Tie of the scene that he had seen in Xuanyuan Hill. Undoubtedly, it was the largest city and most populated region that Zhang Tie saw since he came to this world. This place was definitely much more prosperous than that of Heavenly Square City.

"Are we in Dragon Emperor City?" Zhang Tie asked Leng Manxue.

"Yes, in Motian Realm, Dragon Emperor City is a large city with over 100 million population. Very few cities could have so many people!" Leng Manxue explained as she nodded. Closely after that, she turned around and asked Zhang Tie, "What do you feel about it?"

"Hmm, not bad, not bad!" Zhang Tie replied in a perfunctory way.

To be honest, after visiting Xuanyuan Hill, Zhang Tie was not interested in any large cities anymore. No matter how large and prosperous these cities were, they could not match Xuanyuan Hill which was the center of all humans in that world.

"As the immortal city of Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace, of course Dragon Emperor City is not bad..." Leng Manxue replied as she was not satisfied with Zhang Tie's perfunctory reply.

Zhang Tie just smiled while all the other immortal generals in the command module nodded.

"Oh, General Deacon Leng, where are we settling down in Dragon Emperor City? I don't think any branch of immortal palace is available to us here..." Liu Yong scratched his head as he asked Leng Manxue straightforwardly, which was rightly the common concern of all the others.

After hearing Liu Yong's question, all the other immortal generals exchanged a glance with each other.

Leng Manxue became hesitant for a few seconds before answering, "We're here for registration. As for the details, it depends on the arrangement of the superiors. After all, besides us from Heavenly Square City, there should be many immortal generals from other cities..." Leng Manxue raised her voice after a pause, "But don't worry. No matter what, you will at least get your monthly compensation. Your rank in the immortal palace would not drop either!"

"Ah, it means we might separate from each other. Couldn't we..." Liu Meng asked.

"After entering the immortal palace and becoming the immortal generals of the immortal palace, you have to follow the order of the superiors..." With this voice, Huang Baimei in black robe entered the hatch door of the command module leisurely.

"Head Huang..." All the others paid their tribute to Huang Baimei.

Nodding, Huang Baimei looked around. After looking at Zhang Tie's brilliant face for a second, he turned to Liu brothers, slowing his tone, "It's really uneasy for us to return to Dragon Emperor Realm from Heavenly Square City safe and sound. Factions that violate the will of the immortal palace is forbidden here. As long as we could live well, we would reunite sooner or later. Remember! Don't talk to others about it in the public anymore.

"Yes, sir!" Liu Meng promised in a low voice.

"I've already received the signal from the ground. Send signals to the following airboats, let all of them park there..." Huang Baimei looked at the airport in the distance as he waved his hand towards the pilot behind him, sending an order.

...

Twenty minutes later, Zhang Tie's group saw over 30,000 people getting off their airboats. After taking an ID card, a bottle of water and a piece of dried rations respectively, those people were carried away by vehicles driven by giant beasts being similar to lizards with the guidance of people in deacon's clothes.

Being different than Zhang Tie's group, although those commoners were vacant after getting off their airboats, most of them were full of prospect. Additionally, those deacons received them in Dragon Emperor City politely. Their vehicles were not shabby either. Everything was in order.

After these people arrived here safe and sound; instead of being involved in his event, Zhang Tie finally became reassured.

"Guess what head is talking about with that man?" Liu brothers silently approached Zhang Tie as Liu Yong asked Zhang Tie using his battle qi. Meanwhile, he threw a glance over there.

After getting off the airboats, only two immortal generals of Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace received Zhang Tie's group. One was a solemn old man in white beard and triangle eyes who looked tense. There were nine silver lines in dragon pattern on his sleeves like that of Huang Baimei. The other was a female who looked a bit kinder. Her rank was as same as Zhang Tie, namely VII rank with silver dragon pattern. However, she was just an earth immortal general.

It looked a bit distant. Leng Manxue took Xun Zizhou and that female immortal general with VII rank in silver dragon pattern to hand over the materials and the household registration data of those commoners that they brought from Heavenly Square City. Huang Baimei was talking about something with the old immortal general using battle qi. As a result, none of Zhang Tie's group knew what they were talking about except Zhang Tie.

Zhang Tie looked over there as he found that Huang Baimei's tender smile disappeared after a few seconds of talk. With a slight frown, Huang Baimei's face turned solemn. However, that old man just took it as a public task as his face remained unchanged from the start as if Huang Baimei owed him thousands of element crystals.

"How do I know what they're talking about?" Zhang Tie rolled his eyes to Liu Yong, causing Liu Yong to smirk bashfully while stroking his nose.

However, in fact, Zhang Tie had heard every detail of their talk. As long as it was within the sphere of Zhang Tie's spiritual energy, there would be no secret for him.

"General Manager Yu, couldn't we further negotiate it? I remember it was not like that before..."

"Head Huang, please forgive us. Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace is not as rich as before. As for these fresh immortal generals, the immortal palace has made its utmost efforts to pay them 10 element crystals per month. Everything is in short in Dragon Emperor City now. Additionally, you're not the only immortal generals who evacuate to Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace. Many people are waiting for the arrangement of elders. Therefore, please wait for a few more days. It would be fine when Head Huang finishes your work report and all the others get their new jobs..."

"When will I make my work report to the Church?"

"Head Huang, you could settle down your subordinate immortal generals first. After the Church became free, they would notice you!"
