The game has become a real alternate world
Chapter 1100 - 776: Arrival of the Witnesses (Part 2)
His name is Kana, and he is one of the representatives of the Minotaur tribe.
Minotaurs are one of the native powers on the Lebia Continent.
And Lebia, well, it is naturally the home of the sentient beings that hate Elves the most among the continents.
In the past, even the usually good-tempered Minotaurs would have started cursing.
But this time, since they are here as allies of the Night Watchers, they have to show the proper etiquette.
"We Minotaurs admire strength and even more the strength of protection! The Night Watcher brothers endure the coldest blades in the darkest nights, this ’practicality’ is earned with their lives! This train,"
He patted the soft yet remarkably solid seat beneath him with his fan-like large hand, "is a hundred times faster and more stable than our best Kodo beasts! The Night Watchers’ alchemy, it’s this!" He raised one thick thumb.
Anyway, Minotaurs are definitely solid allies of the Night Watchers, now almost everyone has taken the oath.
Most of the Minotaurs still hope to join the Night Watchers, and the proportion of Night Watchers in the vast majority of Minotaur tribes is over sixty percent.
To say they are members of the Night Watchers is almost not wrong.
"Kana is right, hiss." A sibilant and effeminate voice rang out.
The speaker was a Snake-man Priest perched on a specially crafted chair in the corner, his scales shimmering with a ghostly green light under the soft glow of the carriage, his vertical pupils flickering with the light of wisdom.
"Efficiency, hiss, is the key to survival. The speed of North City’s construction... beyond imagination.
"Gathering us is definitely not to show off. The Night Watchers’ actions... must have a deeper meaning. Perhaps, related to the ’Light Torch’?" His gaze was cast forward in the carriage, as if he could see the marvel yet unseen through the train’s body.
As allies of the Night Watchers, they need to understand more.
The Elf quietly closed his eyes, unwilling to converse much with these people.
After all, he also represented the Elf Race, and continuing to speak arrogantly would surely lead to conflict, which was not something he wanted to see.
The Snake-men and Minotaurs are notoriously hateful toward Elves, or rather, the entire Lebia Continent is.
Better to speak less.
In another corner of the carriage, a group of Beastman representatives of various shapes and sizes were excitedly peering out the window.
A young Rabbit-man warrior with fluffy rabbit ears, dressed in simple leather armor, stared with wide, ruby-like eyes, his long ears twitching with excitement.
"Wow! Look, look! Those glowing mosses! So beautiful! I’ve never seen such a large patch of luminous plants! The Elder was right, the Night Watchers really are changing this land!"
By now, the scenery outside the carriage had long left the city behind.
It had transformed into views of various forests and fields.
Beside her, a tall Foxman female merchant with a sly yet lazy demeanor lightly tapped the window glass with her well-maintained claws, her golden eyes full of shrewd calculations: "It’s not just beautiful, little one. It signifies a stable and renewable light source and... possible medicinal value.
"The commercial potential of North City... tsk, the Night Watchers’ endeavor this time is truly grand, inviting so many people.
"The business world is shaken... What am I saying, the merchants have long been in the palm of the Night Watchers."
Even she now has close cooperation with the Night Watchers’ Commerce Association.
Whatever industry the Night Watchers are involved in, they will take it all for themselves.
Blessing is no joke.
There were countless bankrupt merchants in the past, in the entire business world, many merchants are very dissatisfied with the domineering behavior of the Night Watchers.
Quantity and quality, they almost overwhelmed many industries.
As for now, well, the quotas have been loosened.
Praising the Night Watchers is all there is.
Beside her, a Werewolf warlord wrapped in thick fur, his gaze sharp as a knife, crossed his arms, his deep voice carrying undeniable authority: "A vision? Hmph. I only care about the strength the Night Watchers display. Building a giant city so quickly, possessing such efficient alchemy creations... and that legendary ’Light Torch.’
"They gather all forces, it seems more like a display of muscle, setting a new order. That Elf kid," he nudged his lips in the direction of Orion, not hiding the mockery in his voice, "still immersed in past glories, foolish."
Seemingly sensing his gaze, Orion glanced at him, then disdainfully turned his eyes away.
A Lion-man Elder with mane as flamboyant as blazing fire slowly spoke, his voice deep and resounding like a lion’s roar, emanating an inherent kingly composure: "Strength needs to be witnessed, Wolf King. If the Night Watchers are truly able to bring lasting peace with their ’order,’ it will be a blessing for all living beings.
"I’m more curious about that torch... is it merely a symbol, or... some kind of weapon or... a key that we have yet to understand? Gathering so many eyes, perhaps it’s to collectively witness the opening of a new era?"
His gaze was profound, also looking towards the unknown darkness ahead.
Of course, the new era perhaps already began half a year ago at the audience.
This time it was even more grand.
What do the Night Watchers intend?
Are they finally starting to intervene in world affairs on a high profile?
First, they will have to face the Elf civil war that troubles all races.
But when you think of the powerful god Kana. 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮
It doesn’t seem as difficult as imagined.
"A new era?"
The human Count sneered, fiddling with a large gemstone ring on his finger, "I just hope the residence in North City is comfortable enough and the banquet after the ceremony matches our status. The Night Watchers better understand they need our... um... influence."
What a fool.
Not sure which country pushed out this gilded idiot, almost no one paid attention to him.
Really don’t know how he got into this carriage.
Orion Starshine closed his eyes again to rest, as if the surrounding noise had nothing to do with him, only the barely discernible sneer on his lips deepened.
The reincarnated ones are indeed ignorant.
Amidst the discussions full of racial characteristics, arrogance, curiosity, cunning, and awe, the Alchemy train passed through the final tunnel close to the base of the Black Tower.
Suddenly, the view opened up!
The cold, black north wall of the Tower of Trial, like a curtain of despair, suddenly opened, and beneath the curtain was a land of light that shocked everyone!
A vast city, still in its final stages but already magnificent, unfolded before all the passengers.
The streets were neatly planned and full of a sense of power, solid stone buildings lined up, and Magic Runes shimmered faintly on the surfaces.
At the heart of the city, the hundred-meter-tall "Light Torch" stood like an anchor, its crowned top radiating a soft yet firm milky white light, dispelling a vast area of darkness around it, lighting the city like a dreamscape under the daylight.
More breathtaking was the clear sight of a majestic, black and white majestic dragon shadow on that crown, lying quietly as if guarding the heart, an air of life and death seemingly permeating from afar.
"Hiss——!"
"Gods above!"
"Holy Light above!"
"Look at that dragon! Look at that light!" ...
All the discussions, pride, and scheming in the carriage at that moment were replaced by pure astonishment, transformed into a chorus of instinctive exclamations.
The Night Watchers... mysteriously built another city.
Are they really going to create a Ring Tower City?
This is not a joke.
If a city were to be built around the Tower of Trial, its scale would exceed everyone’s imagination.
But the Night Watchers seem to be serious.
They have already constructed major city areas in three directions, and perhaps the Ring Tower City will truly be seen in the near future.
Inside the carriage.
Whether it’s the slightly open mouth of the Elf Prince, the human Count with his gaping jaw, the awe-filled gazes of the Beastmen, or the Minotaur Stonehoof’s proud chest and the glint of understanding in the eyes of the Snake-man Priest, all were frozen before this hope-in-the-darkness scene created by the Night Watchers.
The Alchemy train slowly entered the magnificent station of North City, the whistle emitting the long blast of arrival.
The doors opened, and the observers of various races and thoughts, with minds struggling to calm, stepped onto this land being redefined by light.
More trains will continuously bring more representatives here.
Even just transporting the personnel will take more than a week.
This ceremonial gathering by the Night Watchers is unprecedentedly grand.
No non-Night Watcher force can understand what exactly the Night Watchers intend to do.
But anyway.
The Night Watchers are almost at the pinnacle of global power, and they can’t hold the center with a peaceful attitude like the Holy Light Church.
After all, there is almost no force more filled with martial virtue than the Night Watchers right now.
Kana watched quietly from high above at the first arriving outsiders.
