Capítulo 1061: Chapter D426: King of Terminals and the Otherworldly Knight
After leaving the Viscount’s House, the Hero boarded the Magic Train, departing from the Plain Ancient City, traveling along the tracks that spanned the Kingdom, heading toward the distant southern Holy Capital.
The Plain Ancient City is situated in the northernmost part of the Kingdom, while the Holy Capital rests at the southernmost end. This journey stretches across the entire Kingdom, and even with the newest model of the Magic Train, it requires day and night travel, changing trains multiple tis to reach the destination.
But since the endpoint is now in sight, the Hero’s previously tense nerves relaxed sowhat.
As the scenery outside the window rapidly retreated, she embarked on her final journey in the highly developed Kingdom.
Originally, she wanted to take a detour to visit the countryside to see the old man from her mories. But when she learned from her mother that her grandfather in the dream had passed away many years ago, this plan was naturally canceled.
In reality, her grandfather was still robust, but after all, such a long ti had passed in the dream, and he wasn’t a Legendary Strongman. Considering he had lived over a century, under these turbulent tis he had passed peacefully.
Moreover, judging by the ti, hunters were no longer present in the Kingdom then. Although it’s hard to say her grandfather broke free from the family’s legacies, at least according to the Moon People’s accounts, when he passed, it was from natural causes.
However, this wasn’t exactly good news.
Even though the Empress was unrelated to him, the girl’s face still couldn’t hide her lancholy.
Seeing her as she alighted from the transfer station, passersby slowed their steps.
Thick-heeled white boots stepped along, a dark pleated skirt swayed with her stride, a shoulder-revealing sweater traced her rounded shoulders, a long coat draped over her arm, sunglasses concealed her captivating red eyes, and her short hair cut to earlength was tidy and efficient.
At this mont, the Empress was like a city Beauty from a fashion magazine. Without consciously emitting Charm, rely walking alone on the street caught countless pedestrians’ attention, even the Half Angels couldn’t remain unaffected.
In today’s Kingdom, young humans were already scarce, not to ntion she was all alone, unsupervised by any Half Angels, making her stand out even more.
At tis, even so elderly people secretly encouraged their nearby Half Angels’ children, trying to prompt them to initiate contact.
But whether the Empress or the Hero, they were long acquainted with such attention. Whenever soone approached, a cold glance was enough to make them retreat.
Long legs strode across the street, and her destination was a well-reputed sweets shop she had searched from the Magic Guide Terminal.
Delicacies and grand attire, these were among the few traces left by the forr Kingdom.
Though the Empress once lived in unparalleled luxury, having survived alone on the wasteland for decades, those intricate royal Grand Attires had long turned to dust.
And when she arrived at the Kingdom, she wore only plain coarse woolen clothes, her silky black hair cut short to ear-level, instantly recognizable as a wanderer.
But now, thanks to the enthusiasms of the Half-angel maid, at least externally, she had completely blended into the present Angel Country.
At the end of her sight, she saw the shop sign, but unlike the bustling image on the Magic Guide Terminal, though the ti was noon, when business should have been booming, the storefront was deserted and desolate.
Startled, the Empress took out the terminal and rechecked the information on the post, realizing that this was actually a report from almost a decade ago.
And no matter which information site she checked, none had been updated for ages, as if ti had gradually frozen, only those which should have been past news remained on the hopage.
“Right, Angels don’t use these things to communicate at all…”
Realizing this was only natural, the Empress pushed open the sowhat antiquated shop door, and the hanging wind chi rang crisply. Welcoming her were two elderly couple with silver hair, and kind faces.
The sweets showcased in the window varied in type, dazzling in array, but maybe due to low sales, each kind had only one or two portions, so the Empress grandly declared her order:
“I’ll take it all, eating now.”
Thus, the Half-angel shopkeeper offered her plate after plate of desserts with an impeccable smile.
Although these sweets weren’t as opulent as those used by the royal family, each dessert boasted a simple yet distinctive deliciousness.
While the Empress enjoyed the long-lost delicacy, she chatted briefly with the two shop owners, roughly grasping why the place was so quiet.
Seeing the long-lost custor, the couple chatted freely about their matters.
They were both human, without children, and as Life Professionals, they retained so magic power. Such people were extrely rare in today’s Kingdom.
According to their own account, both of them had infertility issues, prompting their union, and due to shared interests, they opened this confectionery shop.
Because of infertility, they hadn’t received Half Angel allocation—although in fact, Angels could easily apply Healing to redy such hidden maladies, they presumably found it unnecessary. The couple hadn’t actively applied, nor had any Angels co to offer.
Thus, the only Half Angel in the store was the employee handling miscellaneous chores.
