Lord of the Truth Chapter 1304 1304: Origin of planetary gear

Clack "...Sold!"

"Huh?" The sudden and jarring shift in the environment left Robin momentarily disoriented.

Just seconds ago, he had been standing in an endless, expansive hallway—one with no visible beginning or end—where every individual present seemed pletely absorbed in their own affairs, minding their own business without concern for anyone else. Now, however, he found himself abruptly seated on a cushioned chair within a grand, circular auditorium.

At the far end of this auditorium stood a raised platform. Upon it, an elderly man stood motionless. His appearance was striking: a long white beard that extended all the way to the ground, and eyes pletely hidden beneath thick, bushy eyebrows. His posture was upright and dignified, and there was something about the stillness of his form that made him appear more like a statue than a living being.

Despite how lifelike the old man looked—down to the wrinkles on his hands and the slow rhythm of his breath—Robin quickly sensed that he wasn't a real person. He was part of the system simulation, just like the fairy he had interacted with earlier.

Then, without even moving his lips, the old man's voice echoed through the chamber in a deep, resonant tone that could be heard clearly by all:

"We will now proceed to display the next item in the planetary equipment category."

Whoosh Whoosh

Dozens of graceful fairies appeared in a sudden burst of shimmering light. They fluttered delicately through the air in synchronized patterns above the platform before flying off together toward the left side of the room. A few moments passed before they returned, now carrying a velvet cushion upon which rested a single shoe.

The shoe was a vivid, radiant shade of orange. It had a tall collar that rose to cover the wearer's heel entirely. The outer surface gleamed as if made from polished metal, yet there was an evident softness to it as well—especially from the padded interior that appeared cozy and supportive. Regardless of its simplicity, the shoe held a captivating presence, almost demanding attention.

"So that's what planetary equipment looks like?" Robin muttered under her breath, raising an eyebrow in mild surprise. At first glance, it resembled nothing more than a well-made, ordinary boot.
