Alexia
After a heartfelt hug with Astrid the mont I see her, I quickly introduce her to the two dragons who are currently ignoring every last person here but and Astrid.
"So this is your twin?" Vargas asks with a frown as he crosses his arms and stares at Astrid, looking her up and down for a mont. Then he uncrosses his arms and says, "Co back to when you're a Class S species yourself."
I roll my eyes at that and ignore the dragon who is being more than a little rude right now.
Astrid on the other hand ignores him, not being one to care about others' opinions of her much.
"What are you planning now?" Astrid quickly asks , making purse my lips.
"Well," I start while glancing at the gates before looking above them. "First I'll need to speak with Alara."
I turn my attention back to the people on the bridge, a few of whom I now recognize as forr denizens of Dinsional Block #109. Which is a little surprising, since I didn't expect them to arrive so quickly.
None of them can fly after all.
They also all seem rather happy to see . Sothing else I wasn't expecting.
At this point I've gotten used to people fearing on sight, so this is a nice change of pace.
I turn back to Astrid as I continue, "I'm guessing Alara's wanted to speak with for a bit now about the new people I recruited for the base?"
My twin smirks at that and says, "More than a little."
Thought so.
It would be stranger if she didn't want to speak after thousands, maybe even a couple tens of thousands of people started showing up saying that I sent them. Many of whom are in Tier 2.
Then again, I sent them with a note signed by and an audio ssage recorded with so sort of item one random group had, so they should've been recognizable as being sent by . Sothing I was a little worried about until now, after seeing them all here and welcod.
One less thing to worry about now.
"Let's head inside," I tell the three. But both of the dragons simply look around for a mont without moving.
A case of literary theft: this tale is not rightfully on Amazon; if you see it, report the violation.
I glance at the two in confusion before Ethan says, "I'll be heading to my own island to check on my territory."
Oh, right. He has an island too.
Vargas quickly says that he'll be going with Ethan, so I give them a brief wave of temporary farewell before moving on through the gates into the city.
Ti to see what all has happened here since I've been gone.
I pause to stare at the large building that is apparently the council building for council etings for the Retreat. Which confused at first until Astrid explained that they ford a council with Alara being the chairperson of the council. One ant to rule the city in a slightly more democratic manner.
Generally a rather uncommon thod of rule, but one that works.
Throughout the city I've seen quite a few things that surprise , proving to that Dinsional Block #108 is definitely ahead of Dinsional Block #109 in technological readvancent. Even if that's largely due to the fact that most of the people in Dinsional Block #109 are undead or people fighting to not beco undead.
Or were? Since the lich king is dead now.
Or redead, I guess.
The status of the newly dead dead king aside, I'm still a little disappointed that despite there being so older style cars going around, there still aren't any video gas.
I don't care that video gas aren't sothing considered necessary or even close to a priority for building civilizations. They're still more important to than vehicles.
Even if I can understand why they'd focus on the practical stuff first. It's still a pity.
The city itself is rather large and has quite the variety of different styles of hos and buildings across it. anwhile the streets are practically flooded with people, proving the Retreat to have beco a rather important and big force in the Dinsional Block while I was gone.
Probably in large part due to my protection.
I glance in the direction of the dwarf's ho closer to the edge of the city as I think about the maintenance I rather badly need on my gear that I haven't had fixed in over a month of fighting and teleporting. Then I turn my gaze back to the council hall again from my place next to Astrid on the roof of so random building.
The two of us decided to teleport through the city so as to not attract that much attention.
Although the stronger people in the city all noticed because of the natural quantum energy that I radiate being rather powerful, so we couldn't hide entirely.
Unfortunately, I haven't figured out how to hide my quantum energy inside of myself yet. Sothing that'll help make stealth stuff a lot easier to do once I can figure it out.
For now, I'm just resigned to being a beacon for anything that can use magic and sense their surroundings.
I'm actually surprised that Alara hasn't co out looking for yet.
Or rather, I would be. If I couldn't sense quite a few people inside of the council hall, likely having so sort of council eting.
I glance at Astrid to find a grin on her face. So I ask with one of my own to match it, "Want to crash their eting?"
She nods her head and we both focus on the council hall, which has several guards stationed around it and at the front doors.
Then the two of us both teleport straight to the front doors of the council hall, startling the guards at it into raising their weapons. But they both lower them again after seeing who we are.
And without even looking at the guards, we both open the doors to the hall, making the conversations inside stop imdiately.
"Guess who's back," I state with a proud smirk at the surprise I see on any non-magic user within the hall.
