Several days later,
Tier-7 Baguva City,
The entire city was built in the shape of a dome-like structure. If some looked at the city from distance, they will see the curved structure of the city wall. The curved wall is one massive piece of metal, which connects the other three sides of the city in a circular pattern.
The curved wall of the city provides massive protection from monster breakouts. Even if the monster's stampede occurs in large numbers, they can't cause a small dent in the city wall.
The highly fortified city can withstand the attack from the Level-4 Peak Monster. Only level-5 Monster can cause damage to this Baguva City.
But such level-5 monsters are not present in the surrounding region of the city. So the residents of the city were not afraid of monsters running into their houses.
At this time, from the grey colour metal wall. A huge door was lifted. If one looked at it closely, one can see a wide railroad going inside the city.
A few seconds later, the train buzzing sound reverberated throughout the surroundings. A highly fortified train is going to the city at full speed.
When the last compartment of the train disappeared. The huge metallic door was lowered down. Then the trace of the lift completely disappeared from anyone's sight.
The metallic wall of the city appeared brand new.
Inside the city,
The train from red stone city finally reached the platform. Unlike other Tier-8 cities, the infrastructure of Tier-7 cities is different. You can't leave the station and enter the city just like that.
There is a specially built checking post in between to verify the background of the passengers. Only people with proper background and a travel pass can go into the city.
To do this thorough background check. The special teams with Peak Trainee Warrior cultivation base were appointed for this purpose. The head of the special trainee teams' is an Elite warrior.
...
(From MC's perspective)
"Zack, wake up," Elder Thornton said.
Hearing that, I opened my eyes and realised that we arrived at our destination. For a moment, a trace of disappointment appeared in my eyes.
I missed the opportunity to see how the city looked from the outside. I bet this city is huge. My eyes gleamed with light as curiosity rose in my heart.
Then I stored the neck pillow in my storage ring with the rest of the materials.
After that, I followed Elder Thornton to step out of the compartment. When I exited the train and looked at the surroundings.
My eyes widened in surprise and shock.
"Huge and Marvelous," I mumbled under my breath. A tremor went in my heart as I looked at the breathtaking size of the train station.
I guess it's just one of the platforms. I guess the rest of the buildings were also the same as this.
On the other hand, Elder Thornton smiled after seeing their stupefied expression of Zack. He realised this is the first time Zack to visit a proper Tier-7 city.
Though baguva city is small in population. But no other Tier-7 city beats it in status and development. Even among the Tier-7 cities, baguva city is considered a small giant. And there is a valid reason for it.
Looking at Zack he couldn't help but say, "The train station's size alone is half of the size of a white stone city."
Hearing Elder Thornton's words, I looked at him in disbelief. Now only realised, I underestimated the size of the city. "It's bigger than I thought," I said to him.
"Yeah, it's big infrastructure," Elder Thornton replied.
"Let's go we have to go through the inspection before entering the city," After saying that Elder Thornton led me towards the exit.
"Inspection?" A trace of doubt appeared in my heart. Then I thought about something. I guess the travel pass must have something to do with it.
It is just the process of verification.
Soon after exiting the platform, I spotted another building. Passengers are standing in queue to go through the verification process.
There are four queues and Elder Thornton led me to one of them. Then we waited for our opportunity to turn up.
Time passed,
Slowly, the number of passengers started to reduce. Then our turn came up a few minutes later. I saw a warrior dressed in black asking for details from Elder Thornton.
He is doing the inquiry. Then I saw Elder Thornton showing the travel pass to him. After verifying the travel pass. The warrior seemed too convinced. Finally, he allowed us to enter the city.
Both of us then head directly towards the exit after that. On the way, I couldn't help but ask, "Elder, what is the validity of this pass?"
Hearing that, Elder Thornton paused his movements and looked at Zack. He realised he didn't fully explain to Zack about the travel pass.
"Oh yes, about the travel pass," Elder Thornton said.
"This travel pass is only valid for three months. I believe that your trip is won't be that long," he added further.
"Three months is enough for this trip," I said.
But Elder Thornton let out a bitter smile and answered, "Don't daydream about it. Even if they decide to extend their plan, you on the other hand will have to quit the exploration team."
I wasn't surprised by his words. Researchers can immerse deeply into their role without worrying about the time and days.
If it happens then I will have to return alone.
SIGH
I sighed inwardly. This is completely going to be a new experience. Then after leaving the exit we came across a different atmosphere.
"Waiting area," Elder Thornton muttered.
Hearing that I looked around the surrounding. Stop saying this is a waiting area. This building was a shopping mall.
People can be seen visiting different shops. There are also several rooms available for people to take a rest. It took me some moments to digest the information.
It's different from the previous experience. In Tier-8 city, there is no other option other than quietly waiting for your train.
But here you can spend your extra time shopping. And there is no chance for you to get bored around this place.
While I was looking at those shops, I heard Elder Thornton's coughing sound.
Elder Thornton said, "Don't worry, after speaking with my friend. I'll take you around the city."
Hearing that I nodded. I have to say I'm enjoying Elder Thornton's company. It was like the previous experience of the Star Tower visit. Where he took care of everything. And this time also he seemed to come prepared.
Then I followed him towards the exit. It's hard for me to look for entrance and exit here. Looking at Elder Thornton, I believed he must have visited the city multiple times.
Then after walking past similar-looking buildings. We finally exited the train station minutes later.
Finally, I breathed in relief after looking at the sky. Then I glanced at the humongous station behind me. "Damn, this station is larger than I had expected," I said to myself.
Then I straightened my back and looked at the city in front of me. Seeing that, I revealed a small smile on his face. Because the city is nothing different from Tier-8 cities apart from its size and hygiene. Then I found a new thing.
It doesn't matter where it's a small or big shop. I can feel the luxurious vibe from it. When I was lost in my thoughts, I heard Elder Thornton's voice beside me.
The next second, I saw he is talking to the cab driver. Seeing that, my gaze immediately set on the air taxi next to him. I twitched as the air car also seems to be different. I had never seen or heard of this model before.
This air car is almost twice in size compared to that one back in my city. In curiosity, I walked up to the air car for further inspection.
While Elder Thornton was busy talking to the driver. I began to observe the air car. This air car has many seats. I believe seven people can sit comfortably inside the air car.
Then my gaze landed on the monstrous wheels. With this air car, I can easily enter the monster zone. While I was appreciating it, I heard Elder Thornton's voice again.
Seems like he successfully negotiated with an air cab driver. Then I entered the air car after Elder Thornton. The driver seems to be a strong warrior. He doesn't want to be rude by probing him.
So I guessed in my heart. Looking at his burly physique and feeling the subtle pressure from his body. I think the air cab driver is a Trainee Warrior. This realization completely broadens my knowledge further.
Elder Thornton finds out Zack's doubt. He answered, "It's normal for Trainee Warrior to be a driver in this city."
Hearing that, I was shocked inside. I never thought the strong warriors are like clouds in this city. It is totally beyond my belief. Then what about the Elite Warriors?
