Chapter 802 Visitors Arrive?
While Nova and Vicente were dealing with the situation of the survivors in Saltstar City, visitors arrived in Metal City and Grandis that day!",
A group of people from the Chutha Dynasty had just entered the safe area of the capital city, looking around with interest.
Seeing that the rumors that had reached them about what was happening in the Trevora Kingdom were like the reality of this city, the five envoys couldn't help but look at each other with interest.
"The rumors about Vicente Fuller are true. He really has incredible forging skills and can protect cities, as the king of Trevora Kingdom says." Said one of the two Paragons in the group.
The crown prince of the dynasty, a Sky Sovereign, heard this comment from the chief guard of his group, one of the last five Paragons of the dynasty. He said. "According to the message we received from Trevora Kingdom, Vicente Fuller shouldn't have done this in Seidel Kingdom before he left to hunt pentagrams in the north. In that case, he's already back in the kingdom."
"Hmm, that's good. We didn't miss our trip, Your Highness." said the other Paragon, of the same level as his colleague, a magician recently promoted to 5th stage.
Once they had passed through Grandis security zone, escorted by a trio of royal soldiers in 4th stage armor, they entered the built-up area of the kingdom's capital.
The city was much more organized and attractive now than it had been when Vicente had arrived a little over a month ago.
There weren't as many tents in the middle of the streets, and the citizens seemed more hopeful about the future. You could see it in their expressions, but also in the aura of the weakest, who went back to working and consuming as they had before the disaster.
The most distressing aspect of the disaster for regular individuals was not their inability to escape their cities. The continent was already dangerous enough for ordinary people to leave their hometowns. The problem for such people was the lack of opportunity, the weakening of trade, and the death of powerful individuals who could hire them.
The king didn't want to make too much of it either, though he liked the possibilities that alliances and friendship with this group could bring to his state. "Vicente Fuller is a very busy magician, Your Highness. I don't know exactly where he is. What I can tell you is that he's in Scott Province, and his family is in Metal City.
I can show your party the way to Metal City, but I can't guarantee that you'll find Vicente there. He must be working to ensure the safety of the cities and his interests in the area."
"Then I thank Your Majesty. My state is in a terrible situation, so I'll go to this Metal City immediately."
"Please accompany me." The king motioned toward the train station of his city, where a train would leave for the Metal City in three days.
The group from the Kenyth Empire didn't want to wait for the train and started their journey to the Metal City on their own. But the king thought it was worth waiting for the next train for this group of newcomers, as well as for the group that had arrived in his city yesterday.
...
While the Chutha Dynasty group followed the king to learn where Metal City was and the fastest way to get there, the Kenyth Empire group was already halfway there.
The red-haired man, leader of one of the Kenyth Empire's remaining cities, the Low-level Paragon, who had left his place earlier, was now flying on the back of his mount with his two human companions on this journey.
His mount was no less impressive than this red-haired fellow's cultivation. As an early 5th-stage Light Phoenix, this creature was very fast. They could reach Metal City in no more than two days!
As he thought about this while feeling the strong wind blowing on his face, the Low-level Paragon couldn't help but think about the reunion he was looking forward to.
'The king said that Heidi lives there... I hope she's well.' He thought of Rory's mother, his former lover during his travels through the Seidel Kingdom, a little over 25 years ago.
