Chapter 903: Arriving at Force Province


Translator: WQL Editor: Aleem

The so-called N0 . 17 Heavenly super deluxe berth cabin could never match that of Zhang Tie's private airship .

This berth cabin only covered about 10 square meters . It only contained a bed, a desk and a small independent washroom . There was a looming flavor of lavender .

Besides being private and clean, this room was nothing different than a basic single dorm .

Of course, such a single dorm was already super deluxe in long-distance traffic tools like an airship .

The water in the berth cabin was supplied quantitatively everyday . After using up the daily provision, the passenger would have no more on the very day . The bathing function in the washroom was unavailable during normal times; only when the airship landed for supply and was connected to the water pipe in the airport could the shower head work .

The average landing time of the airship was five days . Therefore, Zhang Tie could only take a bath once in 5 days .

The airship provided 3 meals a day; however, passengers needed to enjoy food at a fixed time in the dining hall as the dining hall would be closed except for the fixed time . If they wanted to drink something, they had to consume in the bar, which would run around the clock in the airship . All the drinks and snacks in the bar were not free .

When the weather permitted, the observation deck on the airship would open 14 hours a day from 7 am to 9 pm .

Passengers were forbidden to enter the bellyhold cargo bay, the crew's living quarters and workspace in the airship .

Fire was forbidden in the airship, which was also a universal regulation across Taixia Country . Smoke was only allowed in the observation deck and the bar area .

Passengers could rent safes to store their valuables . Otherwise, if passengers lost their valuables, the airship would not shoulder any responsibility for that .

If everything went smooth, the ETM of the airship was October 5 . If it encountered any force majeure due to weather or mechanical faults, etc . , it might arrive at Force Province later .

. . .

After entering his private room, Zhang Tie took up the notice board for passengers in the room and read the introductions on it . All the introductions above were the very treatments that Zhang Tie could enjoy at the cost of 268 gold coins .

However, Zhang Tie didn't care about that . He only needed to cultivate quietly in the airship . Therefore, Zhang Tie was basically satisfied with this small single dorm .



The only problem was his height . Every time Zhang Tie stood up, his head would almost touch the ceiling with a distance of less than 20 cm . Therefore, he felt a bit depressed .

The locker was beneath the bed and was connected with the bed .

After looking around the furnishings in the berth cabin, Zhang Tie opened the locker beneath his bed and dropped his luggage into it .

. . .

After a few minutes, the first mate boarded the airship, followed by two people in the uniform of bounty hunters and started to check tickets one after another according to the routine .

Although Zhang Tie didn't exit his berth cabin, the moment the two bounty hunters boarded the vehicle, Zhang Tie had known that .

After hearing the knocks, Zhang Tie opened the hatch door with a calm look and saw the first mate and two bounty hunters standing outside the hatch door .

"Sir, please show me your ticket!"

Closely after the first mate's request, Zhang Tie had passed his ticket to the first mate .

The two bounty hunters looked Zhang up and down seriously; one of them even lowered his head to check the order for arrest in his hand .

Benefited from his height, Zhang Tie could see the contents on the order for arrest clearly .

The first image on the order for arrest was very close to the original look of Zhang Tie while the other 20-odd images on it were all that of important criminals on the wanted list issued by the Supreme Court of Taixia Country .

The images of important criminals in Taixia Country would be posted outside the gates of all the cities, in hotels and pivot harbors across Taixia Country for recognition within 3 months after their crimes were confirmed or in the first half year after they escaped when they would probably be easily caught .

Due to the large territory and population in Taixia Country, there were many common criminals, who were not qualified to enjoy such a special "treatment" . The common criminals' images could only be seen in the Pavilion of Brightness or the archives of judicial agencies . Only those whose crimes had shocked one region could enjoy such a treatment to be well known across Taixia Country within half a year after their crimes .

As the former dean of the provincial court in Youzhou Province, at the sight of the order for arrest, Zhang Tie had known that nobody had made a more important crime than him in the late months . Therefore, his image ranked top in the order for arrest .

Zhang Tie had a dense whisker . After gazing at Zhang Tie's whisker, ear root and lower jaw carefully, the two bounty hunters nodded . The first mate then gave the ticket back to Zhang Tie .



"Wish you a pleasant trip, sir!"

The group of three then moved to the next berth cabin . . .

After taking the ticket, Zhang Tie closed the door . After that, touching his whisker, Zhang Tie revealed a smile .

Among all the disguising masks, there would always be a loophole on the beard . Therefore, common disguising masks would not have a beard . The two bounty hunters also observed Zhang Tie's whisker carefully . Given this point, they must be experienced .

After closing the door, Zhang Tie came to the bedside and took off his shoes . After that, he sat on the bed and took out an earth-elements crystal from Castle of Black Iron .

. . .

Half an hour later, the two bounty hunters left the airship . Closely after that, all the hatch doors of the airship were closed . With a slight shock, the airship began to take off . . .

Zhang Tie had already absorbed the first earth-elements crystal and took out the second one . . .

. . .

When the huge vacuum airship set off for Force Province, Zhang Tie started his new round of cultivation .

Zhang Tie could enjoy food from Castle of Black Iron very well in the berth cabin; however, in case of doubts, he would exit his berth cabin at noontime and have a lunch in the dining hall everyday . After that, he would return to his berth cabin to continue his cultivation . He didn't even want to go to the observation deck .

In the single-minded state, Zhang Tie would consume 40 earth-elements crystals in 20 hours each day . As for the remaining 4 hours a day; he would enter deep sleep 2 hours, eat and shit 1 hour and practice those battle skills of "Fire Dragon Sutra" in trouble-reappearance situations 1 hour . . .

Zhang Tie just entered cultivation in such a small berth in this way .

Zhang Tie's fierce look and the sturdy figure would bring people a sense of oppression wherever he was in the airship . Therefore, very few people dared to talk with him when he exited his hatch door for lunch . Benefited from this reason, Zhang Tie felt quieter and could concentrate on cultivation .

The great 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 for the first supply, Zhang Tie had already lit the 15th scale on his knight's crystal plate . . .

From then on, Zhang Tie would light one scale per 8 days . As he was so devoted, he almost forgot about the existence of time . . .

. . .

The vacuum airship flew over prefectures and mountain ranges and moved all the way towards Force Province . . .

Zhang Tie just consumed his earth-elements crystals at a high speed . . .

Time flew past . . .

The order for arrest of Zhang Tie, Zhang Mushen, the former dean of the provincial court in Youzhou Province was still effective . . .

The color of the land below gradually turned from green to yellow . . .

. . .

Until one day, knocks finally drifted from the door of the No . 17 Heavenly berth cabin .

A voice sounded outside the door, "Sir, the vehicle will arrive at Thunder Battle Fortress in Force Province in an hour . Please keep your belongings handy and be ready for getting off . "

After hearing the sounds, Zhang Tie, who was absorbing earth-elements crystals cross-legged on his bed opened his eyes with a flickering red light . . .

"Okay, thanks . " Zhang Tie replied .

After putting away that earth-elements crystal, Zhang Tie got off the bed and put on his shoes . He then relaxed his limbs and took out the military luggage from the locker beneath the bed . Carrying it on his back, Zhang Tie opened the door and exited calmly .

The calendar memo on the aisle outside the berth cabin marked the date clearly .

October 7, the 900th year of the black iron calendar .

The actual time of arrival was 2 days later than the estimated time of arrival because the airship met a heavy thunderstorm when it passed by Guanzhou Province two months ago . For the sake of the safety, the airship stayed 2 more days in Guanzhou Province .

As usual, many passengers were gathering on the observation deck and watching the scenery below after hearing that they had arrived at the destination .

With the military luggage on his back, Zhang Tie also came to the observation deck . At the sight of a muscle man, although being a bit crowded on the observation deck, those in front of him still hurriedly gave way to Zhang Tie .

At the sight of such a giant man, they knew that he was tricky . He might be here to join the army . As they had arrived at the destination, if they were fractured by him, it would be too unfortunate .

It was Zhang Tie's first time to board the observation deck of this airship .

It was golden all over on the land below, which indicated that the harvest season had arrived . Being covered with fiery maple leaves, the mountain range in the far seemed to catch fire . . .

There were only battle fortresses instead of towns on the land .

"Wow, is this Force Province? It's covered with battle fortresses!" A passenger who came to Force Province for the first time exclaimed . . .

"It's said that the largest battle fortress in Force Province could match a Class A city . . . "

"All the commoners and factories are in the battle fortresses!"

They started to discuss about that . . .

Zhang Tie came to the guardrail of the observation deck and immediately jumped into the air .

Such a dangerous movement aroused exclamations from the surroundings——is this tough guy seeking for death?

Closely after that, everybody became dumbfounded as they found the tough guy was ascending like a bird instead of descending . After a short while, he even suspended in the air . . .

"A knight? That tough guy is a knight? I've not imagined that there's a knight among us . "

The airship was sent into an uproar . . .

Zhang Tie ignored their uproar; instead, after identifying the direction, he flew towards the direction where the sun was going down .

Carrying the grass-green military luggage, in a few seconds, Zhang Tie had disappeared into the sight of the passengers . . .
