Chapter 466 466. ACCOMPANY
The revelation almost completely ruined Noah's mood. He had never had a great experience with nobles, not to talk of individuals who had experienced the peak of enjoyment and luxury a person could in the Cusk nation.
Even after they had entered the beautiful and spacious carriage he couldn't get his mood up. His emotions felt out of hand, he couldn't explain why he felt that way.
Even finding out that Riveta had been a direct child of the royals had not made that much of an impact.
'Am I going mad,' he joked inwardly even if his aura felt distant and dangerous. He knew the other had noticed it, but he didn't like it anyway.
At that point, he could only hope he would return to normal. And he did.
As the minutes passed his blood cooled and his thoughts became less chaotic. The dark portions of his mind had seen powerful storms until he finally regained his composure.
He hated the past event but felt grateful that he was normal.
Still, it eventually happened, and the individuals who were to join them arrived.
There was enough space within that carriage to fit at least thirty humans, and they would all be comfortable. It felt like a mansion. There were even tables and chairs at its center portion.
Noah had also guaranteed that no artificial enlargement of the space within the carriage had been deployed. He would soon find out the reason for that.
As a matter of fact, none of the carriages had any of those. Even the ones that had goods within them. Which was strange since they had not utilized storage devices.
Seven exquisitely dressed figures entered the carriage, and an air of regality and high status filled the room when the last two, making 9, entered.
All three winners could immediately tell who were the children of the royal family since the last two individuals wore matching attires.
One was a young-looking man and the other was an equally young-looking lady. Their gazes were aloof and their aura dense.
All nine experts were at the very peak of the third tier like Noah, but those two had something completely different about them.
Was it the overflowing confidence that silently streamed out of their red eyes? No.
Noah looked for the cause of that instinctive reaction, and he found it.
Etched into the back of the duo's necks were a series of markings that made no sense to Noah, but that wasn't his reason for finding it.
No.
Those circular markings radiated something that made even his Speedling portion tremble in awe.
They seemed unable to be hurt as long as the markings were present.
Both of them instantly noticed his gaze. He was the strongest person before they arrived and even now he felt threatening. Still, they had heard of the white-haired man. They had respect for him after seeing him in action. Records of the tournament.
Truth be told, the blonde-haired man desired a battle between himself and the white-haired expert, but for now, he would maintain his royalty. He needed to show them his status was higher. He only wished his younger sister would follow up on it.
All attention had been drawn to the two royals when they entered, so much so that the seven noble descendants blended into the environment.
Noah shifted his gaze from the blonde-haired man and the double-colored-haired lady. Her hair featured black shades and blonde hair. Black was predominant.
Both experts sat down side-by-side, and they felt the attention of everyone present.
Noah had to consciously withdraw his gaze.
Sir Dere walked in a few moments later, breaking the tense air that had formed amid the experts. Bon was the weakest, he felt little before those high and mighty cultivators.
"I welcome you, young masters and mistresses. These will be your dwelling place for the journey we are about to embark on."
"All your needs will be catered for. More on that will be explained later," the man talked, gaining their full attention.
"For now we will begin our march outside the city so we can meet with the rest of the emissaries and properly begin our long journey. I will be your guide throughout. And explain the necessary things," Dere continued, making them wonder what more they required to finally let their journey begin.
No one objected to the announcement and the expert soon left after making a few other things clear.
The march began merely a minute after, but the insides of the carriage remained dead silent.
No one even conversed with their consciousness. Simple silence. Noah preferred staying with Miranda to that.
Staring out the window that wasn't evident from the outside, the night-time city remained visually stunning. It felt like the epitome of a new world, especially with the enormous castle at its center.
The streets were still teeming with men and women and even children. All sorts of trades were going on as the group of over a hundred carriages rolled out of the castle's walls.
The sounds from the city were enough to disquiet the insides of the carriage. Everyone did their own thing.
Noah thought thoughts while staring at the outsides of the carriage. It would be a while before he got that sight again.
He even began to wonder just how long it would take them to reach their first destination. He didn't even know which of the nations. But since the Empire was more friendly he expected a journey there.
He believed, however, that it would take them a while to reach their destination. He didn't know where it was, but one thing was certain. It was far.
About an hour of annoying silence had to pass before the large group capable of decimating cities arrived outside of the city.
They immediately took off at that point, and a proper formation for the flight unfolded before the eyes of the experts.
Their destination was a large clearing within a certain region of thick vegetation relatively far away from the city. It didn't take them long to reach though.
They were to meet up with the last part of the group, but to Noah's surprise, only one figure existed in the large clearing.
It was purple, had wings, and featured four legs but it was actually a bird beast. Nevertheless, those details weren't the most astonishing.
No.
It was the fact that the flying beast stood at a level far beyond the fourth tier, and that a man silently sat on it. Awaiting the soon arrival of the group. These were the more perplexing details.
It would seem a fifth-tier powerhouse and his huge beast would accompany them on their journey.
