Chapter 865: Fate Community
Planet Juda-- Fate Community
*Step* *Step*
Sandria landed, followed by Old Man Gu, then a hundred human Martial Emperors landed, followed by about twenty of the research and development team, all wearing the distinctive black gold armor of the True Beginning Empire.
The place looked like a village, but much larger than a village, and yet it couldn't be called a city either...
The place didn't have a wall or any defenses, just many, many small dome-shaped buildings scattered randomly around, made of ice blocks, and the snowstorm here was much worse than the area near the abyss.
Old Gu noticed that the temperature was dropping rapidly the closer they got to the South Pole. The weather here was so bad that they could barely see the huge iceberg behind the huge village as if it was announcing the end of this world.
Despite the temperature dropping below anything they could imagine, life wasn't completely dead here. Old Gu could see three or four people running from hut to hut a little while ago, and there was a huge building in the middle of the village, with thick smoke coming out of it!
"Oh my, this plant isn't ordinary either, I can tell just by looking at it, it's really interesting..." Old Man Gu pointed to a plant next to one of the huts, it looked like an ordinary lotus flower used for decoration in Jura's gardens, but something about its aura made it extraordinary, it was much better than the plants they had seen along the way.
A few hours had passed since they had passed the abyss, and from the first moment he opened his eyes, he saw a complete tree without leaves, the tree was transparent and shiny like diamonds and had a few fruits that could be counted on the finger of one hand, it was clear that it wasn't just an ordinary tree.
And then he saw many more wonders!
Throughout their flight, they had seen nothing but vast expanses of snow and ice, and above them were large numbers of plants that were thousands of years old, each one of them would grant them a huge number of points if they handed them over to the imperial treasury! But somehow all the human emperors held themselves back and continued flying in a straight line.
"I don't know if it's interesting," Sandria stepped forward a little to stand next to Old Man Gu and looked him up and down, "But your armor is definitely interesting."
"This? Haha, it's really nothing, how do you even notice such simple equipment when you have an Overlord? He must have given you something more valuable." Old Man Gu laughed loudly.
"You know we have an Overlord?" Sandria raised her eyebrows, annoyed that this guy had spoken of their strange armor as *simple*. If this was simple, what about their own equipment?!
"Of course, little miss, how can we come to a whole new place if we don't know a thing or two?" Old Man Gu smiled, "To be honest, we've heard a few simple things from some of the prisoners of the Great Serpent Empire, But I still need your explanation so we can understand each other better."
His face glowing and full of life in the bitter cold made Sandria even more uncomfortable, "We do have an overlord, but our relationship with him is not what you think, not like that bastard Pythor's relationship with his overlord at least... We have a different kind of dependency and we don't want trouble with anyone."
"Oh, how is that?" Old Gu looked interested, but stopped Sandria before she could continue, "Is there a warmer place we can go? I'm sorry, but you don't look well, niece."
Sandria frowned slightly but couldn't find anything to say as she was really starting to feel the frost affecting her, "...Come with me." Then she started to walk lightly towards the largest building in the community.
As they walked through the narrow streets, the old man caught sight of something out of the corner of his eye, several people with fox heads were digging with their hands in an empty area next to the community, they looked weak and tired but they continued digging anyway, then jumped into the hole.
"What was that?!" Old Gu quickly pointed to the scene.
"Hmm? Oh, they're going hunting, no need to worry about it." Sandria waved and continued on their way to the huge dome.
"..." Old Gu stood still for a few seconds, not imagining how this could be a hunting path... But The continued walking behind Sandria anyway.
He soon found himself in the middle of the hall, opening his eyes wide...
There were at least ten thousand people under that huge dome, so close together that they could feel the warmth of their bodies. In the middle of the dome, there was what looked like a campfire, it was the source of the apparent smoke outside. The fire was burning animal skins and bones, and even some of the precious plants they saw outside!
Old Gu felt a pang in his heart when he saw those plants burning, but he followed Sandria anyway until they found a spot to sit near the dim orange fire. All the way, he and his companions were nodding and greeting the curious attendees.
Naturally, most of those present were old people or children after everyone had gone to recover the other side of the planet, so they didn't find much of a reaction. When the old people saw that Sandria was leading them, they just fell silent and went back to warm themselves by the fire. When the children felt that those strangers weren't intending evil, they started to approach them and play with their armors curiously, trying to see what was inside.
Old Gu waited until he was sure that the atmosphere was right, "So... you were saying that you have a special relationship with your Overlord, how so?"
