Chapter 907: Chapter 369: Entering the City
The place in the southeast by the sea, close to Silver Moon City, there lay a flat beach.
The sky was clear, the air was fresh, and there was not a cloud in sight.
The faint briny scent of seawater was carried ashore by the breeze, as crabs scurried in and out of the sand.
The cosmic change that occurred several days ago seed as if it never happened; even the shifting of the temporal layers of Vanaheim couldn’t affect the survival of these creatures.
For these tiny lives, this modest beach was their entire world.
The hem of the Goddess of Dawn’s gown brushed the horizon as it settled back over the palaces atop Mount of the Gods.
And facing the illumination of the sunrise, a huge shadow was gradually ascending from the seabed.
Through the clear water, one could vaguely see its dark shell.
Yet upon the indestructible hull, there were many scars, varying in depth.
Hum——
Hiss…
Crack——
Erging to the surface amidst the humming, the grand alchemy ship revealed itself above the sea.
A hissing sound of air being compressed ca from the sealed hatch, followed by the clash of chanisms inside.
It didn’t take long for an oval-shaped hatch to open up on the colossal hull.
A pair of strong hands gripped the edge and then leaped out.
Thump——
Feet landed on the beach as the young Hero greedily breathed in the fresh air.
It wasn’t that the air circulation system inside the ship was faulty, but the natural breeze was indeed more comforting to the heart.
Rustle rustle…
“As if worlds apart, isn’t it.”
“Staying in a confined environnt for too long always takes so readjustnt, and although these intricate creations are quite remarkable, their skill is still far from comparing to the wonders of creation.”
“Even this simple gas contains many secrets unknown to man.”
Then, without the dramatic movents of the great Hero, the tall and lanky Protheus stepped onto the beach, wading through the water.
The sunlight ward his skin, and the Forethinker felt a touch of warmth.
Basking in the gentle sea breeze, Protheus smiled and spoke.
“That’s because, sir, your expectations are too high. Achieving this much is already quite incredible.”
“To create such a thing, one must surely be the most intelligent in the world.”
The last to jump out of the cabin, the young man spoke with a cheerful grin.
He walked up to the Forethinker’s side and reached out to support the weakened Deity.
“Hmm?”
“Respect for the elderly and love for the young.”
“It’s a fine virtue passed down in ng Village.”
Speaking earnestly, Amon was like a model young lad.
“…That truly is a fine tradition.”
After a mont of silence, Protheus nodded.
For so reason, ever since following Heracles back onto this alchemy ship, the Forethinker had taken an instant dislike to this young man nad Amon.
Even though he was eager to learn, seeking knowledge, and clever, just like the Fire Thief once adored in those children, Protheus still didn’t take much of a liking to him.
But regardless, this young man had indeed braved the perils of the sea voyage, and together with a couple of other children, had rescued him.
So, with the nature of the Forethinker, it was natural that he couldn’t reject him just based on a so-called feeling.
“The journey of several months, it’s finally co to fruition.”
“So, where do we go next? Have you thought about it?”
In an instant, the serious face blood again with a vivid smile; Amon looked toward the Hero.
