Castle of Black Iron

Chapter 1649: Applying for Immortal Generals

Translator: WQL Editor: Aleem

To be honest, although being righteous, Zhang Tie would not rush forward the moment he heard that demons existed in this world. Perhaps Zhang Tie’s feelings had changed. After coming to this world and hearing about demons from the crew on the airboat, Zhang Tie had been less sensitive to demons in this world. Although he still disliked demons, he was not as passionate and responsible as that when he fought demons at the bank of Weishui River in Taixia Country.

There were sage-level knights in this world, each of whom had founded their immortal palace. Additionally, there were greater existences above sage-level knights. Therefore, it was not Zhang Tie’s turn to show off his battle strength in front of demons.

It appeared that Motian Realm was closely related to the world where he came from. However, Zhang Tie couldn’t figure out the details. Even so, as Zhang Tie was not here for archaeology or doing papers, he just dropped it which only nerds would care about, despite being curious. As for Zhang Tie, there were too many secrets and unknowns in this world. Even if he didn’t know, he would not lose hair. No need to waste time on these things which were far-fetched from his life.

After leaving the harbor of Heavenly Square City, Zhang Tie hung out in the city as he started to observe this strange and fresh place. At the same time, he was pondering how to settle down in this new world, grow powerful step by step and finally go back to the world where he came from.

Based on Zhang Tie’s wisdom and life experience, Zhang Tie reached a conclusion——As an outsider, the most convenient, steadiest and most realistic way for him to settle down in this new world was to join an organization.

The organization was a platform and the center for collecting and disseminating information and resources. Based on this organization, he could adapt to this world as fast as possible and seize the opportunities for growing stronger constantly. It would be too silly if he just took actions alone in this world without any reliance. All the rural migrants who came to a strange city for dreams would find a job first for further development whether the job was good or not. This law also worked for Zhang Tie.

As Zhang Tie was thinking about it, he found that he had arrived in front of a huge building while there were much fewer people nearby.

It was an immortal palace being similar to Maya Pyramids in the world where he came from. The entire immortal palace was lofty. Looking up, Zhang Tie saw grey stone stairs all the way to the top of the building. Although being plain, the grey stone stairs had lost their luster. It seemed that they had been old. The entrance of the immortal palace was right on its top.

When Zhang Tie came here, he saw two black iron knights, actually two fierce immortal generals landing not far from him in an advanced outfit, arousing a wind and blowing dust on the ground everywhere.

Not knowing why, across Motian Realm, only those above wind immortal generals namely heavenly knights could fly without aiding equipment. It was like the no-fly zone above Lion Fortress. If immortal generals below wind immortal general wanted to fly, they had to carry a uniform. Zhang Tie got this message on the airboat. Closely after he got this message, Zhang Tie had stealthily tried his flight capability of the divine dominator. After finding that his flight capability of divine dominator was not influenced, he became reassured.

“Aah, we’ve finally arrived. Hopefully, it’s not too late...” a fierce immortal general let out a long sigh as he put away his metal outfit.

“Of course it’s not late. It only took us less than 7 days to come here since we received the news. Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace in Heavenly Square City should still be recruiting immortal generals!” Another black iron knight said as he put away his metal wings. At the same time, he took a look at Zhang Tie. Due to Zhang Tie’s young look and extremely calm qi, that person didn’t look at Zhang Tie any longer.

“I’ve not imagined that Heavenly Square City also starts to recruit immortal generals. It’s a city with a branch of an emperor-level immortal palace...” the first speaker sighed with mood.

“Dragon Emperor immortal palace is responsible for ruling over 1,000 cities. It contains over 10 billion people at its heyday. Dragon Emperor has been missing for over 900 years. As of now, demons were becoming more and more rampant. As a result, other immortal palaces couldn’t wait anymore. A few days ago, the largest city Biyao City of Dragon Emperor immortal palace in Sunshooting Plains was collapsed and merged by Star Emperor immortal palace. It was said that a branch head of Dragon Emperor immortal palace was severely injured and some immortal generals were killed. After these days, the Dragon Emperor still didn’t show up and condemn Star Emperor immortal palace. Of course, the other forces grew more and more audacious...”

“Why do you urge me to join the Dragon Emperor immortal palace then?”

“Dragon Emperor immortal palace is recruiting immortal generals with compensation of 10 element crystals per person monthly. Is there any job better than this one? If the Dragon Emperor is still there, we don’t need to worry about that. If the Dragon Emperor is still missing, high-level powerhouses would be responsible for that even if heavens collapse. Perhaps, Dragon Emperor would split up by then...”

The two fierce immortal generals whispered as they walked upstairs towards the entrance. However, they didn’t know that Zhang Tie had heard all of their words.

By staying with people from different industries, people could indeed receive various messages of different values. What the two fierce immortal generals talked about couldn’t be heard on the airboat.

There was much valuable information in their talk. After hearing that, Zhang Tie considered it for a while. He then looked at the entrance on the top of the immortal palace as if he could feel the sorrow atmosphere over the immortal palace.

In this world, battles between humans and demons especially competitions between humans were many carried out between high-level battle forces, which appeared to have nothing to do with commoners. As for civilians at the bottom of the class, the competitions between high-level battle forces would only lead to the change of their ruler. Civilians would eat and pay taxes as usual; the only difference was that their idol in the immortal palace might change.

With a faint smile, Zhang Tie stepped on the stairs towards the entrance of the immortal palace.

Only after a short while, Zhang Tie had passed hundreds of stairs and arrived at the entrance of Dragon Emperor immortal palace.

“Stop!” Two tall, tough, serious guards in full outfit shouted as they blocked their spears in front of Zhang Tie, continuing, “What are you doing here? It’s not the right moment for praying in the immortal palace!”

“Don’t you need employees?”

“Dragon Emperor immortal palace don’t need immortal soldiers!”

“I’m not applying for immortal soldier; instead, I’m here for immortal general!”

‘Immortal general?’ The two guards goggled at Zhang Tie’s young face and extremely ordinary clothes with eyes wide open. Before they answered, Zhang Tie had released his protective battle qi and slightly rocked off their spears before entering the immortal palace frankly.

It was much more magnificent inside than outside. The moment Zhang Tie entered the immortal palace, he had seen a huge statue facing the gate in the distance——A man was stepping on an immortal dragon, long sword in hand, who looked pretty handsome and lofty.

It was pretty open from the statue all the way to the gate except for the rows of cattails being placed on the ground tidily.

At the sight of Zhang Tie, a decent and clean woman in white longuette standing at the gate became a bit stunned as she asked, “You’re also applying for immortal general?”

Zhang Tie replied with a smile, “Sure!”

“Please follow me!” The woman in white longuette said. After taking another look at Zhang Tie out of curiosity, she led Zhang Tie into a corridor beside the main gate.

This woman was like a staff in the immortal palace being similar to nun. However, Zhang Tie didn’t know the concrete identity of this woman in the immortal palace of Motian Realm. In case of trouble, Zhang Tie directly remained silent as he just followed that woman in the corridor for a while before coming to the door of a room.

“Please wait inside for a while. Our head would arrive soon. He would negotiate with you about the job!”

“Fine, thank you!”

The woman in white longuette then pushed open the door. When Zhang Tie entered the room, all the others in the room instantly fixated onto him.

Given the furnishings, this room should be a parlor. There were already eight people here, including the two fierce immortal generals that Zhang Tie met just now. Like the other six people, Zhang Tie took a look at them as he found there were 4 males and 2 females. One of the 4 males was an earth immortal general, namely an earth knight, who was sitting in a chair arrogantly and lonely. One of the two females was also an earth immortal general. The two women appeared coming here together as they were sitting together. As for the remaining males, one in long hair was sitting alone, eyes closed. The rest two males should be brothers given their looks.

At the sight of Zhang Tie, all the eight people were shocked, including the two fierce knights that Zhang Tie met outside just now.

Among all the 9 candidates, Zhang Tie was the youngest. Given his look, he was just 17 years old. Additionally, he was wearing the ordinary clothes of A’Long whom he got acquainted in the airboat.
