Chapter 511: Damir City

Chapter 511: Damir City

Even before reaching the capital, Ning could see the giant black tower that

dared to reach the skies. This was bigger than any towers he had seen in any

city he had been to.

Not only was it tall, but it was also rather wide too. Ning wondered how many

people the tower could t.

The sun was just rising when he nally reached Damir city, the capital of the

Serian Empire.

Damir city was a massive city that was half surrounded by Baylen Lake on one

side, while the other side had a river that marked the start of the city.

It started with grassland, some suburban areas for people to live in then came

the Flythorn River, and nally, Damir city lay beyond that.

Ning dropped out of the cart in front of the Flythorn bridge before lining up to

enter the city. He watched the cart get dragged away by the Aether beasts to

Alexis knew where.

The bridge had inspections going in and out, that seem to have been started by

people in the tower.

As Ning walked up through the bridge, he noticed a signicant lack of Aether in

the area. It seemed the people had used his glass beads here as well.

With a show of an identication card that the Aether tower provided him, he

was able to get into the city with ease.

He brought out a clock to look at the time. There was still a good 3 or so hours

before the recruitment would start, so he decided to roam the city.

He walked amidst perhaps the most urban city he had visited in this world.

Ning saw men-powered carriages more here than anywhere else. There was

also an electric train service that ran through the city called a Tram.

Did he have those back on Earth? He couldn't remember. He really needed to

ask the system to restore his memories prior to getting the Eidetic memory

skill on of these days.

He walked along the morning streets that were still somewhat empty,

compared to what he thought it would really be once everyone left for their job.

The store signs were still lit up early in the morning, and Ning found a small

diner nearby.

While having a high Aether rank improved his body quite a bit, it still didn't

stop him from feeling hungry after a day.

He had eaten nothing but fruits the last 2 days, but now, he wanted something

better.

He got into the diner and sat at an empty table, and ordered himself some

breakfast.

As he waited for his breakfast to arrive, it felt like the city just woke up and

suddenly everyone started moving at once.

Ning could see a massive number of people walking left and right from the

window of the diner.

Many people also entered the diner, and before his food even arrived, it was

getting crowded in there too.

Ning's food nally arrived and as he was about to eat it, he heard the loud

voices of a few people that walked in.

Ning looked towards the door to see a group of 4 people, 1 girl, and 3 boys, who

seemed to be quite young.

It was one of the men that was really loud, saying things like, "Why the hell do

we have to eat in a place like this? Let's just go to a proper restaurant."

The man who spoke had long black hair that fell to his shoulders and wore

ashy shirts and pants that showed that he might have been a noble from birth.

"You idiot! Restaurants don't open this early in the morning. Just thank your

luck that there was a diner here, otherwise I would've just resorted to buying

normal bread for food," A man of similar height, but not as much ashiness in

his clothing said.

Ning stared at them with a slight shock in his eyes.

The men turned around, looking for a spot, and saw Ning staring at them.

Since Ning's table was the only one that could house them all together, they

walked towards him.

"Hey brother, do you mind moving to that table? We need a place to sit," the

men said.

"There is plenty of room here. Why don't you just sit?" Ning asked.

"Please brother, we are in a bit of a hurry to go take part in the Tower's Battle

Force recruitment. If we don't hurry, we will miss it," the third man with a long

face said.

Ning smiled. "What a coincidence? I am going to the tower too. And I know that

there is still a good 2 hours before the tower starts accepting the recruitments."

The man's face changed. He had wanted to use the tower's name to move Ning,

but he didn't expect Ning to say he was going there too.

"Oh, is that true?" the noble-looking fella's eyes widened, and he sat down in

front of Ning.

The other 2 men sighed and sat down as well. There were still two other seats,

so the girl sat on one of them.

Ning's eyes followed her as she sat away from them.

"I am Banrod Wilkers, nice to meet you," the noble guy said.

"I'm Terran Forn," Ning shook his hands. He shook the other two men's hands

as they introduced themselves as Harris and Peter.

When it came to the girl, Ning stopped for a second before deciding to oer her

a handshake as well.

"Ah, brother," Banrod Wilkers just shook his head.

Ning made a confused face and dragged his hands back. But he understood

what was happening. After all, that was his plan, to act like he didn't recognize

her.

"I'm sorry. I am a germaphobe," the girl said to explain why she didn't accept

his handshake.

"It's ne. Everyone is dierent," Ning said with a smile.

"Thank you," the girl gave a nod, her black hair falling before her. She pushed

back her hair and introduced herself to Ning.

"Hi, I am Rachel."
