Chapter 1472 The Choice Was Made

Chapter 1472 The Choice Was Made　　On the bus, the many passengers either closed their eyes to rest, knitted, read books, or even talked with one another merrily. 

The trip was steady.

Mosby was still in awe at disbelief when seeing the speed of these magnificent buses.

F***? Do you see how fast the trees are moving past them?

Compared to their carriages, this speed was too godly.

Mosby gripped his armrest, feeling goosebumps from sheer excitement.

Another thing that caught his eyes was the roads his father said were the highways 

They were presently moving on the longest highway in the empire called Shanks Road. 

And strategically placed along the way were signs telling people where to go and what safety measures they had to comply with.

Even carriage and horse speeds were taken into account. 

But what was also great was that before arriving at a town, city, or village, one would see various signs on the highway, telling people which ‘Exit’ they had to take to get to these places. 

’So organized!’ Mosby commented, having a broad smile plastered on his face. 

And soon, his eyes blew up like fireworks the moment he heard the announcement. 

[Dear Travelers, we will be arriving at the Capital in 15 minutes. Please check your seating area twice to confirm that all your things are in order.]

”Ah!-” Mosby jolted forward as though taking in a celestial command.

Say no more.

He was in his own world, placing his items back into his bag.

And soon, he caught a glimpse of Baymard’s looming walls.

Boom!

He felt an explosion burst out in his mind. The good kind that intoxicated the very fiber of his being.

This… This… What sort of stone was this?

Smooth… Uneven without blemishes… Beautiful…

Words alone couldn’t describe how he felt, starting at such walls that were too unique and never-seen-before. 

No matter how hard he looked, he couldn’t find the secret about them!

Mosby stared at the walls in a daze. 

’How did they do it?’

Bah! Who the hell cares? 

(^∆^)

.

Vrmmmmmm~

The vehicle drone into King’s Landing.

And soon, Mosby passed through security.

Holding onto his rollable luggage, Mosby stared at the floor nervously. 

~Jzzzzuuung~

The escalator moved magnificently, with Mosby panicked on how to go about placing his foot on the moving stairs. 

’If I fall, won’t the stairway eat me?’

The stairs seemed to be coming from underneath the thin opening. And Mosby felt that if he could miss a step, his clothes and even his skin might be caught on the mighty stairway to the heavens!

”Father, it’s okay.”

Gulp.~

Holding his son’s hands, Mosby took a leap of faith. 

”Ah!~”

In the first second, he was shaky. But soon, in no time, he steadied his leg, allowing the stairway to leave him up!!

’Oh, Ancestors… Was this how you felt when ascending to the heavens?’

’…’

Up the stairs he went, passing through the many terminal points. 

The Landport was also a large Bus station too. Some were waiting to leave Baymard, heading towards the other Baymardian territories, while others were only waiting for the connecting buses to take them straight to the Coastal Port instead. 

Yup! 

There were special buses for those who just wanted to head straight to the coastal ports and hop aboard their ships wherever they had to go. 

Moving about, Mosby saw a lit-up board with bus schedules that would change now and then.

Curiosity, he stood beside his son, focused on looking at the screen. 

”RC-38… That’s ours…” 

That’s their bus. 

So that’s it!

Mosby nodded, seemingly understanding the technologies from this other world he entered. 

To him, Baymard was no longer in Hertfilia. 

.

Like so, they stayed there for another 40 minutes. However, Mosby’s butt had never touched any of the seats since their arrival. 

And what was he doing?

Of course visiting the many travel stores!

Custom-free chocolates? So tasty! A pullover that said, welcome to Baymard, so good-looking!

The father-son duo walked around endlessly until they found a spot to grab a bite.

Today was Mosby’s first time having BayBucks croissants with chocolate feelings and a vanilla latte. 

The bread was so soft, almost melting into his mouth upon impact. 

Mosby closed his eyes and rolled his tongue around his mouth in silence. 

He didn’t need to speak of his satisfaction because his face said it all. 

Looking at the other food items on display, he had an unwilling expression. 

If not for his already filled belly, he wouldn’t have minded having 1 of everything to taste. 

What great food!

(*^*)

Soon, their bus arrived, and Mosby finally stood in line.

”Sir, remember to get your official passport before the dateline on the slip expires.”

”Yes! Yes! Yes, I will. Thank you.”

Mosby replied, tightening his grip on his documents. 

.

He got his identity slip/temporal passport from the border city he came from. 

No one could pass through into Baymard’s territory without passing through the border control and getting issued this temporary passport. 

The temporary passport already gave them a fixed date of when they should leave Baymard. 

Since he and Nicolas were coming for a 2-week trip of sightseeing, as well as a few business meetings in the Merchant Association, he had been given 3 months’ stay. 

That alone was more than enough to cover for any unforeseen circumstances. 

Of course, they also told him that if he was here for health reasons or other reasons that needed an extension from the current date, he could also apply from the offices. 

Mosby held his temporal passport tightly, treating it like his own flesh. 

”Father, should I keep it for you?”

”No!.” He retorted, putting it in his pocket and partying his chest severally. “What? Do you think your old man is too careless or something? Go! Go!… Hurry up and lead the way! My eyes are wasting time, looking at you when I can be looking at other heavenly things!!”

’…’

Should he be insulted or amused?

Nicolas shook his head, helplessly following behind his father. 

How come the image of his old man was so different from what he remembered years back?

Once again, Mosby and Nicolas boarded a different bus from King’s landing into the Royal Capital city. 

Finally!… They were here. 

(^0^)

.

[Ladies and gentlemen… Welcome to the Royal Baymardian Capital!]

Mosby stared at the tall highrise buildings, feeling 10 years old again. 

Its… So it’s all true. 

No horses… No carriages… Nothing of those sorts had filled the advanced city. 

All he saw were the many monster carriages moving about. 

Buses, trucks, cars, trains… It was all there. 

And sitting on the bus, his expression was filled with infinite impatience while passing by the many buildings. 

The buildings came in all sorts of sizes. Some were spherical, rectangular, some shaped strangely, and others with 5 sides. 

And once again, he spotted several booklets on bus schedules, trains schedules, and the list of touristic sites particular to the capital City. 

’So detailed!!’

This time, what he saw was more thorough. 

Seeing this, he couldn’t help frowning. “Son, aren’t these Baymardians afraid?” 

If it were him, he wouldn’t display such detailed maps about the public districts.

”Father, I thought it would be a problem too. But since I’ve been familiar with Baymard, they’ve never had any issues yet… So I can’t say.”

What Nicolas said was the truth. Maybe in the future, things might change. But for now, this seems to be working for them. 

The more Mosby learned about Baymard, the more silent he became.

If one has a treasure, shouldn’t they safeguard and hide it away forever?

After spending so much time in Veinitta, he had seen the true cruelty of those on bigger continents.

.

Vrmmm~

The bus stopped at the largest bus station. 

And once again, they passed through a rigorous security check before being allowed to will their luggage away. 

But where would they go?

Of course, to District H.

This district was filled with villas and different styled homes, from ordinary to luxurious for foreigners. 

Here, businessmen and others could acquire these residences for the duration of their stay.

Bam!

The door was shut, and Mosby couldn’t believe he would be staying in.

”Hahahahaha~… It’s as you said… Water is coming out on its own!”

”Amazing! This microwave is ingenious!”

”Eh? So this is the stove thing you mentioned before? Awesome!”

Room by room, Mosby went through their A-framed 2-story home filled with adventure.

But maybe the most incredible thing was the computer in their rooms. 

They, who were supposed to go out for a stroll, found themselves holed up in their rooms, exploring the exciting world of the Internet! 

Even Nicolas hadn’t seen this before. 

Like so, Mosby felt himself in a dream-like state.

With an unfathomable gaze, he stared at the stars in silence as though trying to make up his mind about something. 

’Those people who brought me to Arcadina requested I gather information about Pyno for them… If I didn’t comply, my family… They’ll get hurt.’

–Silence–
