In the blink of an eye, six days had passed...
The Ritter family had developed considerably in the past few days, with all the women of Lothur experiencing level advancements.
Elke had advanced only once and reached level 18 of body cultivation. However, all the other women of Lothur had experienced at least 2 advancements.
Rebecca and Annaliese were currently at level 17 in both of their cultivations. At the same time, Viktoria had reached level 18 in soul cultivation and was at level 17 in body cultivation.
They had benefited tremendously from their man's days in Peters City!
However, in two more days, Lothur would be leaving Peters City to begin his journey that had no end date.
But with what he had left for them, they were all confident of getting stronger even in his absence.
So on the eve of another Ritter Motor Company auction, they were all quite happy and looking forward to the future.
This was particularly true for Viktoria and Annaliese because, in these days, their mother had finally regained her movements and was walking again.
Her situation was irreversible at the moment, but at least she could be independent!
That was already very good!
So, as they prepared for the auction that would take place the next evening, high-level visitors began to arrive in Peters City!
...
It was late in this part of Linn Province, and the movement of vehicles in the region's largest city was intense.
Many people drove their cars between their jobs and their homes, while the minibusses of the local transport company filled the streets of this city with as many people as possible inside each one.
Currently, more than 50 minibusses are attending the local population. However, even with this number, demand was still far from being met.
But this was no small thing. Peters City had a population of more than 500,000 inhabitants, and most of them were mortals without the cultivation or purchasing power to own cars!
But amid the cars and minibusses, one driving along the main avenue of this city would see two other types of larger vehicles, buses and freight trucks.
The provincial roads were not yet 100% ready, but they already led to small towns in the vicinity of Peters City.
Because of this, the powers that already had their trucks were using these vehicles to transport their resources to the limits of these roads, where they distributed their items the old-fashioned way while there were no more roads.
The trucks were speedy and carried many items in a single unit driven by only one person. So it was worth the trouble!
In addition, the local transport company was already taking people interested in traveling to other cities in their larger buses, which already had stop points in 5 cities in the province.
And so, upon arriving in their carriage in this city, a group sent by the Duke of Sachs Province could not help but stand silently, admiring the scenery.
"There are so many vehicles in Peters City..." The daughter of the Duke of that province said this while standing next to her brother, along with her parents, inside that carriage.
Her father was looking determinedly at those vehicles circling the main avenue, looking forward to the day when his city would also be like that.
'We must get at least a small share of the Ritter Motor Company. That company will become very large in the future.' This level 17 man thought to himself, confident that his family needed to participate in this grand company.I think you should take a look at
The Duke's eldest son, level 15, then commented after his sister. "Not only that, the local streets are totally different from the streets in our city. You see, there are no dirt streets, much less streets with irregularities."
"But our streets will be like that too, dear." The Duke's wife said. "Your father has already agreed to welcome the companies associated with Ritter Motor Company to our city.
From what the envoys of that company have said, they will begin construction in our city after this auction."
"I'm looking forward to it." The level 13 young woman said with a smile on her face.
As this group arrived at the center of Peters City via the main avenue, several other carriages like theirs were passing by.
Each of the empire's provinces had been notified about the Ritter Motor Company auction.
Because the news of the vehicles created by Lothur had already reached the entire empire, noble families from all the provinces were arriving in this city to join the occasion.
But not only were noble families arriving in Peters City to join the next day's auction, but envoys from the imperial family itself were also arriving through the local skies.
A few dozen meters above this city, 5 Transcendents were standing by, watching the movement of vehicles on the local streets, each smiling.
"Your Highness, it looks like we'll be able to earn many coins very soon. The family will reach a new level." A Nascent Soul Transcendent said this with a smile on his face as he congratulated Klaus Leopoldine.
With Lars' recent defeats, including a massacre his group had suffered in the past few days, Klaus was getting closer and closer to reaching the top position within the Leopoldine family.
His subordinates were already confident of his victory and ascension as the new emperor once His Majesty returned from the hunt for Daemon and the Blood Crystal.
Therefore, they would soon have the fractions of the Morning Star Academy to use as they pleased.
Unlike Lars, they did not want to take over the Ritter Motor Company but to use the academy to increase their position within that company.
That's why they were there!
Klaus smiled and said. "Before we celebrate, let's go see Luis. We will soon be replacing him, so I want to know exactly the status of the Ritter Motor Company."
"Yes, first, we have to get better informed."
The men in his group agreed before they quickly flew off toward the academy.
As they did so, another group arrived at that place through the skies, stopping momentarily to analyze the movement of vehicles in this city.
"So those are the said cars?" A level 18 woman asked her guard, looking intently at these marvelous things moving on the ground.
"They look very nice." The man dressed in silver armor, at the same level as this blond woman, commented, interested in these things. "The family will certainly be thrilled to get a slice of that business, Miss."
"Well, let's take a closer look at it. We've traveled a long way around this place. Let's see if someone will let us test these vehicles." She said, quickly heading down toward that city.
Following them, several other groups would arrive through the skies of Peters City until a space deformation appeared over there!
