Chapter 90
20. Metropolis Metro 2
How am I supposed to describe this city? Baselsto couldn’t keep his mouth shut.
“Can you feel it? The air has changed.”
When the barrier was opened, a tidal moat flowed so clean to the left and to the right. The moat in the castle!
While Baselsto could not keep his mouth shut, the wagon went across a white bridge over the 12th lane with a rattling sound.
A 12-meter standard streetlight was installed on each side. Sebastian lets out a murmur as he watches the streetlight radiating a faint light from above.
“Baselstow. There’s a spirit in my back.”
I made small incarnations and placed them inside the lamppost to see if I could pull out the mulberries that had become the Lord of Spirit’s lighthouse and eat them.
“Haha. If this was a real street fight, I’d get off the streetlight.”
Sebastian smiles and slaps Birmy on the back.
The outside world is a dark night filled with the smell of dust and ashes from the ashen plains of Illuvelas, in which bright stars floated on a white bridge and birds that glow in the light of a bright city.
This absurd world seems to have moved one dimensional system. When we see it from the outside, how could the great city, which was all sealed up to the ceiling, make such a clear day and night in it?
The secret was in Metropolis’ environmental improvement screen technology, but none of the natives of Alphazeta knew about it.
“This smell. It really smells like clean water. ”
A birdie that sniffs its nose.
Baselsto looks around in a daze. I thought maybe godmother was right. Has there ever been a king who could make this much space? Is there anything else we can sell besides the vice minister? Baselsto couldn’t even sigh because of what the goblins saw.
Let’s finally get across the bridge. There was a grand gateway to a large square. A marble arch made of white marble engraved with countless stars and statues of men and women holding giant spherical sapphires.
The giant sapphire was Earth, but it was a giant gem to those who didn’t know what was going on. The lighter was installed and the blue glow was flowing around.
Below that is “per ardua ad astra.” engraved with gold.
Beneath it is the common tongue: “Through adversity and toward the stars.” The sentence was stamped in gold together.
“Through adversity and toward the stars. ”
Baselstow shudders again while Birmi ponders for a moment.
“A sapphire that size…..”
Although the captive Titan, which produces gems in the ground, was an inexpensive alfazeta, it was a different size. It was not the size of the fist, but the size that had to be counted per person.
When they were dumbfounded, a spirit of silver crystals came down from the sky. The creature of Four. It was Leah. It spoke in a soft voice.
As you look around, it looks like a lot of Leah sits on the Arc of Improvement and when guests come to you, they come down to the wagon or group and show you the way.
“Great city. Welcome to Metropolis. What was the purpose of your visit? ”
You hear a sweet and beautiful woman’s voice, like honey, and all three of you look at each other for a moment.
“I would like to acknowledge you. ”
After a while, Baselsto was the first to wake up. Leah replied softly.
“Excuse me, but who should I tell? ”
“We are the pre-eminent family of the Triram of the Elven Kingdom. These are the people of Windstarter Street. I’m Baselsto, the heir. ”
“Greetings, Baselsto. I’m Leah Ruby, your guide. You are the fifth envoy to apply for the throne this month. We’ll take you to a private residence. If you have any questions, feel free to use the cornea screen on the street to find the answer. ”
The Konia screen was an instrument that reads the cornea and provides images. The explanation was unnecessary. The white paper was worth a fortune.
Ruby moves forward with the horses, not saying anything more. The sky shines faintly from where Ruby passed. The horseman can’t hide his emotions, and he follows Leah.
“Spirits and spirits.”
“A great spirit among your fellow heroes. There must be an extraterrestrial presence. Rumor has it there’s a purpose…”
They whispered.
Walking along the path to the right of the six lengths extending all around the square, the center of the square as well as almost every building had a screen on top of it. At the moment, only the screen he was looking at was illuminated and all the other screens were extinguished.
“Oh, my God. Birmi. Look at that. There are imaginary tools like this. Is that Konia’s screen? ”
The billboards were installed on top of the buildings and were designed to be seen along the way. Everyone on Earth had access to augmented reality, so there was no need to overinstall it, but Alpha Zeta’s situation was different. Procerebral surgery was also not universalized and the unit price was not suitable for supplying lenses.
“Hundred years of loyalty. Two hundred years of freedom.” And it said, “Anyone is welcome.” was engraved with the captain’s signature on it.
“Baseltos, did you feel that? ”
“Oh, my God. And Lord Sebastian?” I take my eyes off what I want to see, and I think it’s enormously centered. ”
“A dummy tool for casting a welcome spell. It’s hard to see even at the Tower. How did they get so big? ”
The screen contained several square panes, each providing a variety of policy information. He provided an explanation of various policy issues such as‘ food supply ’‘ land redistribution ’from industries such as’ healthcare industry ’’ defence industry ’.
“Not enough food? ”
Birmy mutters. He seems to be listening to a policy report on the supply of food.
This was because the sensors on the screen scanner scanned each of their retinas and automatically provided images of their attention. At the same time, their retinas and DNA are automatically registered in the metropolis main frame.
“Baselsto, take a look at this. At the bottom right is a collection of speeches by His Majesty. Can you see it?”
Cities in Alphazeta have billboards, no matter how small. This board was a place where anyone who knew how to write could write what they wanted. Thanks to this, the board was interactive and could be seen as open.
Metropolis’ ‘bulletin board’, on the other hand, was made from a large screen provided by the royal palace, tracking and registering the pupils of the viewers.
That’s why I’ve been monitoring the entire population as if it were telescopes from that famous George Orwell novel, spreading Captain propaganda unilaterally.
Although they did not know, these devices were also installed in the Castle of Illuvelas, where speeches were delivered in real time in the Castle of Illuvelas.
The captain wasn’t too happy about it either, but he said he had to go through a civic retreat. However, I feel like stepping on pure snow as I bring telescreen to a world without the concept of propaganda.
“Here’s the most recent speech.” The glory of gray hair and the immortal warrior. “Shall we play it? ”
“Of course. Very curious. ”
The three of them got together and turned on the screen. Soon, the captain who combed his silver-haired head came to his senses on the screen.
“People of Illuvelas, And, people of Metropolis, Greetings. I am your Guardian and also the Captain of Illuvelas. As you know, it is my honor to protect you, and I fought my enemies without rest. The lines we faced were wide, and the enemy was strong. We fought hunger, we fought ignorance, we fought laziness, and we fought enemies who would kneel before us.
This fight was not just for me, so I captured the Imperial soldiers and made them loyal to me. As you all have seen, the Imperial Master has committed himself by leaving his men to me, and the Longevity Masters have pledged their allegiance to me, and their wizards have turned to me. Those who once plundered us now fight for us, and those who once despised us became our slaves. ”
The cheers of an enormous audience lie in the background. I didn’t have enough vengeance as a servant, so I was very proud of the joy that Baseltos’ back stood firm.
Trirum has been trampled by the Empire several times, so I think I know a little bit about what they’re going through right now.
Moreover, Baselsto felt like he was being sucked up because he was empowered by every word of the speech.
It is known that the Imperial Army was defeated by the captain, but no one knows what happened on the Karaka steps specifically except those with the captain.
“My dearest people! You fought alongside me as my soldiers fought fiercely with their enemies. Anyone who leaves this land and fights for our honor will be rewarded with splendor. I am a fair and loyal person who rewards more than that. As the Honorary Guardian of Illuvelas, he rules over you by keeping his promise. ”
Along with the captain’s speech, the soldiers who received the gold coins and medals were cross-edited and passed briefly. They all smiled brightly with big blobs of gold.
“As a Guardian, I want to reward those who have long been devoted. A knight who’s been fighting for years and has broken all his joints. A soldier who can’t stand up because his body has been broken while guarding the territory for a long time. I will give youth to those who have grown old because of my years of devotion in Illuvelas.
Now I wish to relieve you of your cruel destiny and make you my soldiers, as I have captivated the Imperial Army to serve me. Come to me, all those who have served for many years but cannot overcome the wear and tear of time. I will make you young. The gray hair that has defended our honor and life is more precious than the crown of gold, and its value in my country will always be rewarded with splendor. ”
The captain shouts with a solution of gold. The three people who saw him were excited and looked as close to the window frame as possible at the solution he was showing.
Immediately, three people appeared on the screen, two male and one female. One man was a knight dressed in old and worn armor, but he couldn’t see one eye because he was old, had all his teeth broken, and his skin had been wearing a helmet for a long time, so he withdrew completely.
The soldier is heavier, so one arm that has been injured because he has been plowed and dragged into battle for a long time as a glutton soldier is completely twisted without treatment. The dark mushrooms have grown on my face for how long I’ve been fighting in the sun.
The last woman was a nurse who used to cover the soldiers’ bodies on the front line, but she was too old to stand up on her own. I could barely get up, rather than walking, so I stumbled and fell facedown.
The captain approaches them and gives them a potion, and they gasp for it with a trembling hand.
After a while, a white glow began to emerge from their bodies, and gradually they became younger. The old knight had either strengthened his muscular duck or even torn the leather strap wrapped around his armor.
Immediately, the knight with the young and powerful flesh again revealed his white teeth, smiling, and bragging with his bare body because his armor had been torn off and flowing naturally.
Next to him, the soldier shed tears in a young figure without the dark mushroom on his face, and an old woman dressed in a white robe smiled with joy.
The captain said he enjoyed looking at this.
“My dear people, I recently dealt with a very powerful monster. It was a monster called Ramon, and his children were big and strong and terrible demons, but in their blood, I finally figured out how to do alchemy. ”
I saw the horrible jellyfish monsters on the screen. You see the soldiers burning the body in the center of the village.
“Their castle had the tablet of Emerald, and as the tablet instructed, I was able to make a magical potion that blended precious ingredients to make gold and rejuvenate. Who should I use this medicine on? Who are the people who deserve this medicine? ”
As promised, the audience shouted in a loud voice.
“Loyalists!”
“Give it to those who pledge allegiance! ”
“Reward the devoted! ”
“Oh! Your Highness! ”
The captain smiles happily as he hears the shout.
“Yes, those who are loyal will be young again. Those who are loyal for 100 years will be free for 200 years. Come to me and I will see if you are loyal and return you to your youth as much as possible! We will prevail. All enemies will kneel before us! per ardua ad astra!) Aur Ardua ad Astra! ”
“Aur Ardua d ‘Astra! ”
The cheers and applause of the people pour out and the captain stands with a golden solution.
“Have you seen Ba · · · · · · · · ·? ”
“I have, but…”
“The slate of Emerald · · · · · · · · · really made gold out of alchemy? ”
Everyone stared at each other without saying anything.
They don’t know. The propaganda association was edited, of course. There’s no material that can be that varietally youthful. Just as AI replacing protein drives can reconstruct nanograms to make their body younger in seconds.
What the Captain gave them was an android body that felt no warmth. Silicone replaces skin and metal joints replace old calcium bones.
Red fluid flows instead of blood. Instead, he has a stamina that cannot be compared to humans without gaining weight.
And above all, the human brain, which can defend against electron warfare, is maintained by nanorobots.
So it wasn’t all a lie. Inscribed with the secret ingredient of Alchemy, the Book of Emeralds was in Tyrant’s mainframe, and a new body is given to those who are loyal.
Those who were on the brink of death had nothing to do with this metropolis.
The merchants didn’t see the crowd as they were coming up from the southwest Trium, but the incarnation of Lascala guarding the north entrance has already sent in hundreds of elderly people.
“The vice principal is done. ”
As Birmi’s shoulders sag, let out a long sigh. Baseltos exclaims loudly.
“There must be another way. Ser Birmi, you can’t just come back here and go back! Ser Birmi, Ser Sebastian. Pick a list of all the items we can offer. If you can make gold using alchemy, it is in our best interest to make gold. Come on!”
“· · · · · · Great idea! ”
Sebastian nods loudly. As I was writing a list in the wagon, I finally arrived at the inn.
In front of the inn, there were six people neatly plucked, all resting hot. The movements were neat and a little cluttered, so it seemed like it was not a person. It wasn’t really a person. As hospitality androids, they had synthetic skin and systems that almost perfectly embodied human texture.
“Greetings! Your request for knowledge has been approved. It’s 22: 34. Ten hours from now. Follow Ruby to the palace. Ruby. Protect them. ”
“Very well, Grand Chamberlain. ”
“Tell Ruby if you need anything. Ruby will be at your window all night. And these acolytes will take care of you. Goodbye.”
The Grand Chamberlain left mechanically without being asked.
Baseltos bows to the android who passes by himself to pick up his belongings. Then he cried out, looking at the building he was going to stay in.
“A single accommodation business is better than a pre-elected palace…..”
