Chapter 272 Edenma: City Of Beasts
Fifty kilometers from the Ranger's Eye base, Edenma city was located. It's also one of the most prosperous cities in San Fernando. Most of the population who lives in Edenma city are those well-off middle-class people.
The city is known for the unique architectural designs of the establishments. Because most of the buildings in the city had the shape of animals and almost all of them had their wall painted white.
Why did they make their building get the shape of animals? Because this city believes in the Beast God. A small religion that believes that the creator of the universe is actually a primordial beast. And humans are just a kind of beasts with intelligence. And Beast God is a benevolent and merciful god which they deemed almighty.
Because of this, their beast-related things became deeply rooted in their culture. That's why almost all the degu users that came here are all beast tamers, and one would see people walking in the streets with beasts or pets by their sides. A scene where animals and humans lived harmoniously, and the beasts have a lot of protection-related rights inside the city.
They also had a school that teach subjects such as beast taming, characteristics of the beast, and some other things related to them. The mayor of the city himself is a C-rank beast tamer that tamed a golden beast C-rank dark lion that has the potential to advance to A rank. That's why Edenma was known as the City of the Beasts.
In the center of the city, Liualing Street 109, a white dragon-shaped house stood as high as fifty meters, majestically exuding a noble atmosphere. A red ruby was etched into the eye socket of the dragon, which reflected the yellow brilliance of the sun. This building is known as 'Remora White Dragon', a building where the mayor of the city usually lives and its hall is used to cater big to small celebrations or other events.
If one listened closely, one would hear the sound melodic sound of the piano that would make anyone who hears it motivated and joyful. In front of the building, a line of carriages formed with people that come and go. All of them wore extravagant clothes, and couples with gentlemanly appearances and beautiful women with makeup on their faces,
It was worth mentioning that there is a red carpet extending from the entrance of the white building connect to the hall.
Inside the hall, chandeliers filled the ceiling. One would see the people outside enter the hall. Some of them talked with their acquaintances, some scanned the hall and the surrounding people, but most of them sat at the side with their eyes fixed on a handsome man in the center of the red carpet near the stair with yellow flooring. The man wore a black tuxedo, his body was leaning on the piano. He has dreamy eyes, long black hair that reached his butt, and almost perfect symmetrical facial features.
He was there with his eyes closed, listening to the performance of the pianist with a half-smile on his face.
"He is so sexy and beautiful."
"Michael really looks younger than his age."
"Kyaahhh, so handsome!"
Yeah... The man in the center is none other than Michael. The man of the hour. Various voices mixed in the hall, but the majority of them came from girls. Even some of them had a boyfriend. In this way, the girls looked at the man with a fantasizing face while most of the men glared at Michael. Of course, most of them are actually his acquaintance, so they didn't hold any anger or anything unpleasant in their hearts.
Just like that, people kept pouring in the entrance and most of them sat with their friends. The various colors of the dresses made the entire hall even more lively and the people vibed with the music with their bodies swaying subtly.
'Where's Fein? What's taking him so long?' Michael stretched his hand to the glass of wine above the piano and took a sip.
"Sir, what's the next song you would like for me to play?" The pianist stopped the graceful movements of his finger and looked at Michael.
"Hmmm..." Michael scratched his head and began to think about what song is appropriate for a birthday occasion. "Well, you can just play what you usually play on occasions like this."
The pianist nodded. Then his finger moved quickly from one key to another like a spider. He has his eye closed while he does this.
Just like that, a smooth melody entered everyone's ears. The voices of people talking gradually became quiet as they listened to the pleasant sound with enjoyment.
Everyone in the hall are more or less an extraordinary people with high status. The majority of them are degu users. There are certainly non-degu users, but their profession had some connections in the degu society. After all, Michael had made a lot of friends in the degu community through the years.
Some of the guests are even geniuses of other major forces that came from afar to see Michael, who was one of the rising genius of this century.
In a minute... A carriage with the crest of the Ranger's Eye main branch suddenly stopped at the entrance. The wheel of the carriage was made of blue rubber, and it has a lot of protective runes etched on it.
The people turned their heads, one after another, curiously. The people in there aren't vegetarians. They obviously knew a lot of things, and they knew what the carriage with such expensive runes meant. Someone important with a deep background has come!
After all, if one wants to commission a runemaster. One has to pay at least one thousand gold coins for each rune. And defensive runes are the most expensive of their kind. It was ten times the price of regular runes. Only rich, influential people could obviously have the privilege of buying such things.
Just like that, three pairs of feet stepped out of the carriage. When the people in the hall saw the three figures. The sound of someone swallowing and various gasps resounded.
"Why are they here then? And what's their connection to Michael?"
