Chapter 1001 - 870: January 21st, Year 31
New Era, January 21st, Year 31.
"Is this the City of Two Realms?"
Lipstein and his teammates asked as they looked at the city before them after passing through the Teleportation Gate.
In front of them was an unending group of buildings, stretching across the whole field of view.
The buildings ranged from sparse and short in the front, extending to the densely packed skyscrapers at the back.
Surrounding them were countless Teleportation Gates of various sizes, and as the gates opened, people continually transported through them.
Some, like them, stood motionless in awe of the scenery, while others, seemingly used to it, continued walking without a hint of surprise.
"Welcome to the City of Two Realms. After teleporting through, please continue moving forward so as not to block the gate for the convenience of incoming guests."
A pure white streamlined robotic orb with a single eye floated in front of them.
A soft mechanical voice emitted from it.
Upon hearing this, Lipstein quickly moved away from the Teleportation Gate with his teammates.
As soon as they moved away, energy pulsated through the blue gate behind them as another team walked out. Unlike them, this team seemed unfazed by the scenery.
At this point, the robotic orb that had just reminded them did not leave but continued floating nearby.
"Is this your first time visiting the City of Two Realms?"
Upon hearing this, Lipstein hurriedly replied, "Yes, of course. We’ve just recently been promoted to the Silver Explorer Squad, and it’s only in the last month that we arrived at the World Ring."
"We heard this is the most famous city in the World Ring, and also the most prestigious country, so we decided to come for sightseeing and tourism." A teammate of Lipstein spoke at this point.
This humanoid being had the upper body of a young girl and the lower half resembling the body of a deer.
Her voice was crisp and pleasant with a hint of innocence.
"Would you like me to serve as your guide?"
The white orb continued to ask with its mechanical sound.
"Guide?" Lipstein’s voice held some doubt, then he asked, "Free?"
"Certainly, it’s all free."
Upon hearing it was free, Lipstein nodded, "We do need a guide."
"Allow me to introduce myself, I am 6731, a comprehensive service-type intelligent machine. You may simply refer to me by my number, 6731."
"I will be your simple guide from now on, giving you a straightforward glimpse of this city."
"Oh, great, thank you, you can call me Lipstein."
"My name is Ketali."
"I am..."
After hearing the introductions, 6731 gave a slight shake to indicate understanding.
It then floated forward.
"Then please follow me. This is the long-distance Teleportation Gate in the City of Two Realms; teleportations from beyond 10,000 kilometers away link to this site.
If you live in the Platinum Country, you’ll frequently use the Teleportation Station, which is distributed throughout the Platinum Country, saving citizens’ time efficiently."
As they spoke, they left the area, noticing a floating pillar-shaped Teleportation Stone by the entrance.
Beside the Teleportation Stone, a sign read "Long-Distance Teleportation Station."
They could see various races intermittently emerging from flashes of light beside the station.
At that moment, 6731 paused and turned to ask.
"Are you planning to teleport directly into the city via the Teleportation Station, or take a transport vehicle in?"
"Take the transport vehicle, since we’re here for tourism," Ketali said.
Seeing their teammate make a decision, the others nodded indifferently.
"Alright, then you’ll need to walk ahead for several tens of meters."
With that, it led them several tens of meters ahead.
There was a platform there, with several rows of seats nearby.
Various races sat quietly waiting beside the seats.
As soon as they arrived, they heard a dinging sound.
With the sound, a white elongated transport vehicle resembling a dragonfly floated down.
It securely halted in front of the platform.
The vehicle was about six or seven meters long and about three meters high.
"Wing-Flapping Flight Vehicle - White Dragonfly, primarily used for inter-resident travel needs."
Saying so, it floated beside the White Dragonfly and shook itself toward the group.
Meanwhile, many waiting by the platform filed smoothly through the open door inside.
"Sightseeing for five, please."
Saying so, 6731 led Lipstein and the group directly to the second floor.
"Open-air?" A teammate of Lipstein couldn’t help but exclaim.
If this is a flying vehicle, wouldn’t an open-air setting be a problem?
"Rest assured, it’s very safe."
Upon hearing this, they hesitantly took their seats atop the dragonfly.
Once seated for a short while, the dragonfly floated in the air, its wings rapidly extended from the sides, flapping swiftly.
Just like a real dragonfly, hence it was named the White Dragonfly, built specifically to resemble a dragonfly in form.
The entire vehicle flew towards the distant building group at a smooth and fast speed.
Lipstein and his team couldn’t help but look down and around, yet, they felt not a single breeze brushing against them.
