Chapter 306: Meeting Old Friend
Everyone was wide-eyed at the massive space station. It looked like a city made of metal, floating in the darkness. But what caught his attention was the weird glowing crack in the middle. It was like something out of a sci-fi movie.
It was humongous, large enough like a mini city. Countless thrusters kept it floating that seemed to be powered by spiritual stones.
Huge pillars rose that seemed to keep the crack in check from which huge votes were revolving.
There were many decks and Leon's spacecraft was given the signal to land on port 7.
After the spacecraft was craft, as Leon descended his eyes caught the sight of some familiar people waiting below.Reêad latest novels at novelhall.com
"Ohh! Who do we have here?"Leon made a surprised expression staring at the silver-haired old man.
"Sir Argent, haven't you retired."
"I can't believe that you have grown so much. It feels like it was yesterday, we were having deals, and now..."Argent gave a bitter smile.
He was supposed to be retired but he was called back from the center to handle Leon after they got to know that he was familiar with him.
Leon smiled and scanned the guards behind Argent. His eyes fell on the man in specs that made him startled.
Name:Code 31[Jess]
Age:??
Cultivation:Early Divine Realm
"Who is he?"
"My secretary Jess..."
Jess came forward and gave a nod, "Hello Sir, I am assigned to Sir Argent to assist him."
"Secretary...''Leon felt his mind freezing at the sudden information but he just shook his head.
'The water of this place might be deeper than it seems.'
"Umm!Hello!"Leon made a curious expression. He wants to trickle more about this guy but he curbed back his curiosity.
"Sir Argent, it seems you have got a promotion."Irina walked from behind Leon smiling at Argent, then at Leon.
"How did you know so Argent?"
Leon scratched his cheek, "We worked together for some shady deals but how do you know him?"
"He is a reputed figure so most people know him," Irina nodded and then noticed the badge on Argent's chest.
"It seems, you had a promotion."
"You can say so, "Argent made a bitter smile and then turned around.
"Leon, and Gwen you will be getting your credentials. Without the credential, you won't be allowed to the space and might need to go through a harsh procedure. As for you two ladies, I think you might already have a Zonal citizenship license."
"Yeah, we have that."Sophia and Feng Ruoxi nodded while pulling out their cards that had been checked by a group of people.
While they were doing so, Leon asked Argent about the plans, "So what am I going for now? Directly head to the sector.
"No...You need to at least have experience with the monster. I don't think it matters but it is best if you see the monster like other graduates. Studying about the monster and seeing them in their eyes is entirely different."
Hearing this, Leon's body froze for a moment.
'Study about the monster...Did I study...'
For a moment he wanted to complain but then the face of his old man came into his view as if asking him does it mattered in the end you were going to kill everything that comes in your way.
[Welcome to the Dimensional Zones.]
On walking out, he scanned his surroundings and saw a huge wide circular hall guarded by Martial Kings, and behind him was bluish-whipped
As they walked out, Leon saw a huge shadow over the floor, and then as he looked up he realized that he was in a tall tower.
"This is a tower made from a special metal Orbrium found here. It had the power to withstand the dimensional rift fluctuation in case something bad occurs."Argent replied.
Leon raised his head and noticed the humongous tower that pierced into the dark sky. He saw many golden glowing symbols carved all over the place.
He felt a vast pressure pinning him over him. The gravity of this place was twice that of the earth which was insignificant for him but for lower realms and others this might be a huge matter.
He couldn't help but feel like a small child.
Instantly, he was greeted by a skyline dominated by towering, sleek buildings that seemed to stretch endlessly into the sky. The architecture was unlike anything he had ever seen before, a blend of futuristic design and alien technology.
At his front, there are several tall buildings along with huge metallic embankments that seem to be used as walls. He didn't see many people walking there but through his senses, he felt a thousand Martial Kings and 20 Martial Emperors along with a Martial staying in their position.
It was like a military outpost.
The sky above him was navy blue filled with many stars and three red moons glowing alongside.
Despite the nighttime, it was quite bright like a day.
"What are the glowing symbols?"Leon asked aloud.
"They are the runes, "Argent explained.
"The runes carved here are space runes that absorb the qi in the air and keep the gates stable. Also, it serves as protection by forming a barrier during attacks."
"This is the product of Dimensional Civilization. Do you find it unbelievable?"Argent asked with a smile.
"Yeah, this place is indeed a bit different from my imagination," Leon replied aloud and then followed the guards.
"By the way with such tight security, how did that vampire go past it?"Leon asked solemnly.
"That's the work of a trainer but thankfully the gates had a system that identifies everyone and gives a warning bell if any other species except humans entered, "Argent explained.
Leon discussed a bit before marching off with Gwen. Their vehicle would carry them to their destination where they would meet again.
But before leaving, he stopped for a moment and asked.
"Sir Argent, do you know where I will find that guy named Paul?"
Argent brows furrowed but before he could deny it, Jess stepped forward and answered.
"He is in Sector 9."
"Oh!Thanks!"Leon muttered and walked away leaving Argent bewildered as he saw Jess flicking papers on his notepad.
"What are you doing?"
"Crossing Paul's name?"
"Why?"Argent made a confused expression.
"That guy probably won't live long. I think I should inform the President to prepare a coffin and book a mourning ceremony in advance."
"...."
