[Ace POV]
"Have you ever wondered what a settlent looks like?" When I first heard this question from the emperor, I was slightly taken aback. It was not sothing I had contemplated before. However, as I pondered on it further, my curiosity grew. I genuinely wondered what a settlent in the true world would look like. These settlents were akin to the hos of humans in this new and unfamiliar realm.
The sheer number of humans present in the true world baffled . How did they all manage to exist here? Nevertheless, the existence of settlents seed like a positive developnt. I could not help but wonder if my mother and sister were residing in one of these settlents. It would provide them with a level of safety and security that venturing alone in this perilous world would not.
Perhaps I should focus on acquiring more coins, so I can at least send them a ssage. As my thoughts andered down this path, the voice of the emperor snapped out of my trance. "Lad?" he called out, bringing my attention back to the present.
"Huh?" I replied, still dazed from my brief reverie, before realising that I owed the emperor a response. "Yes, I've always been curious about what a settlent would look like in the true world," I stated, a smile forming on the emperor's face. Then, I added, "But I wonder why you would ask this?"
While it was true that I was intrigued by human settlents, my curiosity extended beyond them. I was equally fascinated by the settlents of the other races inhabiting this realm. However, the circumstances of my journey had not yet allowed to encounter any settlents in the true world. The vastness of this realm, though apparent, made believe that it was only a matter of ti before I stumbled upon one.
My curiosity piqued further when the emperor expressed his desire to take to a settlent, most likely the one he ruled. I could not help but wonder why. The emperor wasted no ti in responding to my query. "Apart from wanting to talk to you more about your services, I desire to take a closer look at my n and assess how much I truly need your assistance. Rather than giving you a rough estimate, it's better to evaluate the situation on the ground," he explained calmly.
His explanation made sense to . If he provided with a number of pill bottles he required, there was a chance it would be either too small or too large for his actual needs. In either case, it would result in wastage, be it of resources or money. The latter was particularly risky, considering the imminent conflict between the emperor's settlent and another.
I would cool with either side as long as I could profit from it.
I also could not help but imagine what a war in this world would look like.
In any case, this matter was a little too big to put my hand in.
Perhaps, this might be through for the past that hadn't evolved but the now is way stronger than my past self by far.
I was among the top 50 most powerful humans from planet spe after all.
Apparently, my combat sessions with blue deepened the understanding of my abilities to make enter the top 50.
Amazing how a support job like mine could have so much combat power and this was not even its main forte.
Lost in these musings, I was startled as the emperor rose from the ground, stretching his body before turning to face . "Since you are interested, why do not we head over to my settlent?" he proposed, and I nodded in agreent, indicating my readiness to accompany him.
As I contemplated his words, I realised that we were indeed heading toward the territory he ruled. This realisation only heightened my curiosity. I yearned to witness the foundation of an empire in this unfamiliar environnt, to see how it had adapted and flourished in the true world.
With both of us now on our feet, Blue, my loyal companion, stood on all fours and stretched his body, emitting a little screech. Seeing his readiness, the emperor nodded and his two massive wings erged from his back. It was the first ti I had seen them up close. Each wing, if extended and placed upright, surpassed my height. They even appeared slightly larger than Blue's wings.
I could not help but wonder if the emperor could transform into a dragon, considering his ability to sprout wings from his back. If he possessed such a power, it left awestruck to imagine the size his wings could attain, given their already substantial dinsions in his human form.
As the emperor unfurled his wings, his aura intensified, exerting a slight pressure on . Just as I prepared myself to adapt to this overwhelming force, I felt a stirring within , and the pressure he emitted dissipated. I could still perceive his formidable presence, but it no longer seed significant or imposing. It was as if I had grown accustod to it, almost considering it normal.
I could not help but ponder if this reaction was a manifestation of my newfound connection to my other race. However, before I could delve further into these thoughts, Blue's aggressive noises brought back to reality. Observing his agitation, I deduced that the emperor's aura must have triggered this response in my pet. To calm him down, I stroked Blue gently until he settled.
The emperor maintained his stoic expression throughout this episode. Once Blue had cald down, the emperor uttered nothing more, rely flapped his wings powerfully and took to the sky.
Witnessing this, I imdiately hopped onto Blue's back, and together we swiftly caught up with the emperor soaring above us.
