After making it through the gates. Alfred already had a carriage ready and waiting for Alicia to ride in while they traveled to Alicia's new ho. When Alicia made it through the gates she was stunned at what she saw. Because the city walls were so tall she was not able to really get a good view of what the other side looked like. She was not sure if it was magic that was in use to block the view from outside or not but on the inside the city was massive.
The word massive was actually an understatent. Alicia could compare it to combining one hundred Tokyos together forming a city that was the size of a small country. The outer area near the walls had farmlands for agriculture, livestock and other resources that had to do with the farming industry. After the farmlands was a rural zone where small neighborhoods for the lower class were situated. But the biggest part was the city itself. And in the center of this city was a large landmass that floated in the sky with a beautiful white castle that seed to have been carved out of the mountain that stood tall on the floating landmass. In the sky were wyverns with what seed to be knights riding on top of them flying to and fro from the castle.
To access the castle since it floated in the air were many lifts powered by Magicules that worked like an elevator that went to the top. Alicia's eyes were wide with excitent. This new world of hers was advanced in so areas while still holding on to the old ways in other areas. Like recently she found out that there was actually television that ran on Magicules but this said television was more like a holographic table as everything was seen in a picture perfect 3d environnt. Lights and other modern accommodations were available as well. The only difference was that they were created in a way that used Magicules.
"Young Miss, your residence is close to Magilift and the Adventurer's Guild." Alfred broke the silence when he saw Alicia's eyes grow wide with excitent when they rode into the business district. Alicia only gave a slight nod as an answer as she continued to look out the window.
The business district was the biggest part of the city. Many shops and businesses of all kinds could be found here. From the cheap stores for lower class citizens to the nad brand stores that nobles frequented. The streets here were always bustling with traffic.
Hours passed and they finally passed through into a suburb that was where all the higher classed people lived. From low ranked nobles to rich rchants they all lived in this area. This was the nobles district that was split into two sections. The outer and inner. Alicia's ho was in the outer section of this district. The difference between the two sections was that the inner section was heavily guarded and only those with a pass or proof of residency may enter the inner part of the noble district.
While they were making their way down a side street Alicia realized that this did not seem to be a place where the Adventurer's guild and magilift would be located.
"Alfred you said that the house we were going to is near the Magilift and Adventurer's Guild. But I do not see why they would be located in this district..." Alicia asked.
"Young Miss is correct on this but that is because I did not elaborate enough. When I said close I ant that there is a Magiporter to transport you to the locations near the house. It's a magic device that runs underground that has many stops near the two locations. The entrance is right down the street and is guarded to not allow any lower class people to enter the district from the Magiporter." Alfred answered.
'So a magic train huh? When I go to the Adventurer's Guild, later on, I will get to ride it. I wonder how different it is compared to the trains back on earth.' Alicia thought after hearing Alfred's explanation.
About an hour later the carriage finally arrived at a large tal gate that blocked them from entering the estate. Alicia looked at the tall red brick walls in amazent. The tops of the walls were adorned with sculptures of demonic beasts. The gates themselves were a solid tal that did not allow one to see into the residence at all. Next to it was a small guards station that had four guards standing there. The setup looked almost the sa as Dalton Whittlee's house. The resemblance only lasted at the front gates because when the doors opened what ca into view was a charming asian style courtyard setup. The whole residence was massive. There were at least five large courtyards in total. But the bamboo garden along with the man made ponds and the pavilions that adorned them gave way to a peaceful serene concept. Alicia looked around and was quite surprised at the asian aesthetics.
Unknowingly a few tears rolled down her cheeks as she looked at this place. If there was a word that could sum up the feelings she was getting that word would be "Ho". This place reminded her of Japan in a big way. Although it had more of a Chinese feel to it it was close enough to cause Alicia to feel a bit nostalgic.
"Mother sad?" Frey stood up on Alicia's shoulder and did her best to wipe Alicia's tears away.
"No Not sad. Mother just finds this place very appealing." Alicia gave a warm smile as she patted the top of Frey's head. She then turned to Alfred and asked: "Who designed this place?"
"Young Miss, Master Berlin had it made based on the architecture of the kingdom to the south of the Demonic Forest. He said that It gave the feeling of a peaceful environnt and being close to nature." Alfred explained.
"It really does. I love it!" Alicia said with a bright smile. She really did like this place. It was very appealing to her.
