Chapter 1588: The Completion of a New Castle

Translator: WQL Editor: Aleem

When the overall situation facing Taixia Country was complex, Zhang Tie was waiting for the arrival of the airboat of Iron-Dragon Sect in his private airboat as he contacted Lord Guangnan’ss Mansion, preparing for the exploitation of this bounty land in South Border.

His bounty land awarded by Lord Guangnan’s Mansion was within 600 miles centered on Centralpillar Mountain, which was widely regarded as one of the top 10 perilous lands in South Border.

Of course, the so-called ten perilous lands were former appellations. Previously, given the strong magnetic performance of Centralpillar Mountain and the dangerous fiery cave where even knights couldn’t survive, this land was indeed forbidding. By contrast, now, after the Dongtian of Great Wilderness Sect was discovered, everyone knew that the fiery entrance was leading to the Dongtian of Great Wilderness Sect. From now on, the perilous land became a treasure land.

Almost nobody else could live in this bounty land except for knights or barbarians who always lived in surrounding mountains and woods. Therefore, the exploitation in Zhang Tie’s opinion didn’t refer to urban construction as it couldn’t meet the conditions. In the early stage, Zhang Tie just wanted Lord Guangnan’s Mansion to build a castle on the top of Centralpillar Mountain where passers-by could take a rest.

Of course, it was very difficult for others to build a castle here; however, it was a piece of cake for Lord Guangnan’s Mansion.

During these days when Zhang Tie was waiting for the arrival of the airboat of Iron-Dragon Sect, Lord Guangnan’s Mansion had already dispatched some airboats, over 400 modified airships whose steam boilers and some metal components had been removed. In a form of formation, those airships were trailed by airboats by rope to converge with Zhang Tie’s group in the air. When they entered the sphere of the magnetic influence of Centralpillar Mountain, the airboats were replaced by human knights. When they arrived at Centralpillar Mountain, all the able craftsmen got off the airships as those accompanying knights took out the well-prepared building materials from their portable space-teleportation equipment. Closely after that, they chose a source with water near the top of the mountain before starting to construct the castle.

Zhang Tie requested the castle to contain about 1,000 people. He didn’t request it to have strong defensive strength; nor did he urge them to install any city-defense facilities for it. His only condition was that it should meet people’s basic necessities.

Such a castle was very simple for thousands of able craftsmen dispatched by Lord Guangnan’s Mansion. Only after 3 days, before the airboat of Iron-Dragon Sect arrived, an exotic castle featured by South Border made of stones and woods had already erected on Centralpillar Mountain.

When it was completed, at the invitation of Zhang Tie, Celestial Treasureflame, Immortal Deyang and the others left their own airboats for visiting this castle. By the way, they would celebrate the completion of this castle.

It was also Zhang Tie’s first time to leave his private airboat since he returned to it a few days ago. He could breathe the fresh air by the way.

...

When they arrived at Centralpillar Mountain, they all caught sight of that castle on it.

The exterior wall of the castle was mixed with two colors. Its bottom was made of taupe stones, above which were three floors made of stones and woods. Those woods looked as crimson as rust, which was very special. There were some turrets in higher places. The entire castle covered over 26,000 square meters. Right at the entrance of Centralpillar Mountain, it could enable people to look down at the entire Centralpillar and its surroundings.

When Zhang Tie and his friends arrived, thousands of craftsmen and some knights of Lord Guangnan’s Mansion were standing in the square of the castle and waiting for them quietly. Zhang Tie’s group directly declined from the sky and landed on a high platform inside the castle. Some knights from Lord Guangnan’s Mansion hurriedly came over here to greet Zhang Tie, Bai Runshan and Bai Suxian. Almost at the same time, all the craftsmen knelt down on the ground to welcome them.

Coincidentally, most of these craftsmen were white Hebrews and were always blonds. Some of them had brown or black skin. At the sight of them, Zhang Tie almost thought that he had returned to Waii Subcontinent.

“They are...” Zhang Tie became a bit stunned as he asked Bai Suxian when he saw these craftsmen welcoming them in such a great manner.

“These craftsmen are domestic servants of Lord Guangnan’s Mansion; actually, their forebears had started to be loyal to Lord Guangnan’s Mansion...”

“Aah, they might be Hebrews.”

“Almost. These people are just the lowest-level slave craftsmen raised by Lord Guangnan’s Mansion. Over the past hundreds of years, they were descendants of those foreigners who were sold to Taixia Country in the former two holy wars and were kept by Lord Guangnan’s Mansion. Of course, even though there were no holy wars, those subcontinents and continents would also suffer from natural calamities and man-made misfortunes constantly; as a result, foreigners would be incessantly sold over here due to various reasons!” Bai Runshan turned around as he said casually, “If you want them, I will give them to you. After gathering tens of thousands of people, I will have them sent to Fiery-Dragon Bounty Territory. Whereas, these foreigners could only do some heavy manual labor and slightly skilled works. They’re too coarse to be used by you and within the Lord Guangnan’s Mansion. Most of these Hebrews are fishy; their cultivation flair couldn’t match that of Hua people. Although female Hebrews are a bit better than male, they’re really awkward. Hopefully, you could stand them. By contrast, those slave craftsmen that Suxian gifted you last time were all selected by Lord Guangnan’s Mansion, who could not be matched by these Hebrews...”

Zhang Tie had been living in Waii Subcontinent with Hebrews since he was born. Although Zhang Tie was proud of his status as Hua people, he didn’t discriminate Hebrews. Actually, he had Hebrew brothers and wives. In this case, when he saw so many slave craftsmen in front of him, he became completely speechless. It was said that some racists treated Hebrews as first-class people before the Catastrophe; even some Hua people felt Hebrews were more senior than them. Unexpectedly, Hebrews were the lowest-level slave craftsmen within Lord Guangnan’s Mansion in this age.

“How many Hebrews are there in Lord Guangnan’s Mansion?”

“Not too many, just a bit more than 140 million!”

“Didn’t they come to South Border in the identity of border residents?”

“Border residents?” Bai Runshan threw a glance at Zhang Tie before bursting into laughter, “Only Guizhou Province have some border residents. Actually, all those who could be border residents have some stockpiles. At least, they would not be starved to death in Taixia Country. As for other places, besides the official fields which would be attended to by some border residents, which top clan of Taixia Country would like to use border residents. Actually, border residents couldn’t even match domestic slaves or slaves.”
