Chapter 73: The journey to Zenith city XI
Walking around Nelmorp isn't sothing I did in my old future, if I actually invested in spending so ti here I'd have learned that this city is pretty fun. The streets are packed with players and people alike. Even though Ancients World isn't as technologically advanced as ours, the few years players were playing in Ancients World the tech made leaps and bounds. The airships in the capital cities along with rchant cities are one of the inventions that happened before we arrived. They are brilliantly creative in my opinion, other wonderful inventions will co to Ancients World in ti. I always found it strange that airships were invented even though the teleportation grid existed. There is one problem with teleportation, only people of high level or the adventurers guild can use it.
If rchants or regular people wanted to use it they would have to pay obscene fees. This is why the airship was invented, while not nearly as convenient its a cheap alternative to the teleportation gates. Speaking of said gates we are coming up on one now, and there is a big crowd around it for so reason. None of the people around look like they can afford it, but they are there anyway. My sister also notices the big crowd and wants to take a gander. "In all the ti I've been in Nelmorp, I've never seen so many people by the teleportation gate. Mom and dad checked the prices and said we will be walking everywhere for awhile, so I don't understand why so many are around." Hailey is an observant one, she is right about the prices.
We fully stop and I look at the tent that is being held up, the crest of the Saintess Lucy is on it. This gate must be part of a chain that heads to Alsoma. Seems that the church is to late as well, I wonder how many NPC's have died in the kingdom of Alsoma. They are a smaller kingdom compared to Zenith or Salamander, so their population is much lower. Zenith probably has around 100 to 120 million NPC's, Alsoma would have around 20 to 30 million. The orc armies choose a much weaker target to get this war started, and now their forces will increase because of their evil thods of reproduction. If I do get a chance to end the war I will, but I don't see that happening anyti soon.
Killing 1 orc general is different then taking on multiple strong leaders that are several tiers higher than I am. I can honestly say that a world as hard as this one would bring much pain to the hearts of its people, and my world wouldn't know that pain. Not on the scale its being presented, while I'm not a native of this world. I do love it very much, and I hate to see good people suffer from others random acts of evil. While in my thoughts I totally ignored anything that was going on around , many people are cheering now and I don't know why. I bring my focus off my thoughts and back to the situation. "I cant believe we got to see the Saintess! I cant wait to brag to the rest at the Inn!" I hear comnts like this co from both players and NPC's.
No sense in staying any longer, whatever The Saintess and her forces are doing will be to hard for my help. I don't want to risk my identity yet, despite everything that is happening to the NPC's. "C'mon Hailey, lets go et up with mom and dad. I'm sure they are only waiting for us at this point. I also have surprises for everyone once we et up, so the sooner the better." Hailey nods her head and regrips my elbow, we start our walk towards the blacksmith and the closer I get the scarier it feels. Mom must be in a bad mood and looks to cause so pain, hopefully she doesn't try to hurt . If she does it in front of a guard she will get thrown in jail to cool off.
While things are happening all over Ancients World a new kingdom has co into being, seemingly overnight as well. Many of the leaders of the surrounding countries are surprised by this, it usually take years to build a kingdom and a economy to keep it healthy. What really makes this kingdom special is that only players have been seen spawning and actually staying there, its beginner cities have taken both the old players from Alsoma and newly spawning players. The only place with NPC's is the Capital, and its ruler is a Queen by the na of Auria Sea the I. The na of this kingdom is one unique as well. The kingdom of Avalon has risen from the story quest that Cera completed, and now that construction has just finished its ti.
[World-wide Announcent: A new kingdom has co to Ancients World! This kingdom is almost exclusive to the players! NPC's are free to migrated and settle in this new kingdom! Players from the country of Alsoma have been relocated to the country of Avalon! Once players reach level 100 they must go to Avalon for their tier up quests!]
The Announcent rings out many tis over for the people of Ancients World, many players are blowing up the forums since everyone knows where they must go for their tier 2 quests. One of the more influential guilds Cloudless sky is having a eting with Willow tree, and they are of course discussing the tournant. Wilted Rose is currently having a private discussion with Dark blade about the length of this tournant. Dark Blade and I can agree that this tournant is taking to long to complete, and while we sit here and fight over items other players are passing us. I've gotten everything on our guilds list so there is no longer a need to stay, I'm pulling my guild out of the competition. "If you were wise Dark Blade you would leave too, everyone is passing our best mbers. I don't intend to fall behind the masses, the best of the best solo players are already in the mid 30s. While everyone in this tournant is still early 20s." He gives a bitter look, he must be upset about winning the legacy class. Its to bad I have to complete a difficult quest by myself, almost makes it worthless to .
He leans back in his chair and looks over to the empty one, Sir Erikson is absent from this eting again. "You can leave, I would too if I got the legacy class alone. You on the other hand got everything on your list, your guild made out so much better than everyone else here. So I think you understand why my guild has to stay in, we will catch up eventually. I wish you the best in catching up with all the other players." Dark Blade gets up and walks away, I'm left all alone with my thoughts. What's on my mind at the mont is this new kingdom and its importance to the players. When players start reaching level 100 we'll be heading to Avalon, and it would be smart to get any information on it.
While the major guilds continue to fight over the items, my guild will have the chance to get ahead of all of them. I wouldn't be surprised if new guilds break into the top 20 with so many not making any progress, this is an advantage for the solo players. They don't have to deal with guilds, and that is a major bonus. While Wilted Rose continues to plan out her next moves Cera is approaching the door to the blacksmith shop.
I can feel an ominous aura coming from behind this door, and I seem to be the only one that feels anything. I look over to my sister and I can see the smile on her face. "Are you happy that I'm probably going to get attacked? So sister you are..." She laughs at my comnt and all I can do is sigh. I wouldn't be laughing if the situation was reversed, so I guess she just wants to see suffer. She sees my sour expression and tries to stop laughing, all that does is make her choke up trying to hold it in.
After a few gasps and coughs she finally stops laughing at my expense, talk about a disappointing older sibling. I could be much more cruel to her if I wanted. "I'm sorry Cera, but its nice to finally see the perfect child make a mistake for once. You don't know how hard it was watching you be so calm and easy growing up, I would always be compared to you, it made my life horrible." I guess I can understand that, she isn't wrong in a sense. I find it hard to believe they would compare us though, I never imagined my parents doing sothing like that. I can no longer deny the inevitable, sothing is going to happen on the other side of this door and I'm scared.
