The Geared Immortal

Chapter 745 - A Demon's Lair

Chapter 745

…

A different structure that looks like that of a medieval European building is right in front of Luna Halil's eyes who looks around her in excitement. She was brought to a building and was assisted by some of the people around her.

After some questioning, they all discovered that she seems to have suffered some mental trauma and has forgotten many things from her past. This is normal as the people in this building have encountered such things happening before.

"Hey, we have another one here that has escaped the high elven empire. We have to bring her to 'that' place…" the one interviewing Luna Halil said as he called for the person behind a table filled with books and scrolls which hides the person sitting behind the desk.

A head suddenly peaks out and looks at the one calling her with a big smile on her face.

The others who heard this showed an envious look on their faces upon learning that the woman will be taking the newcomer to 'that' place.

"Hihi… I will gladly escort her there, Eleanora, since you still have a lot of things to do..." suddenly one of the ladies walks beside the figure behind the table filled with books and scrolls with a gentle smile on her face.

"Che… no way… It is my job so I will do it." Eleanora suddenly rebutted with a sneer on her face.

Eleanora Vin is one of the staff inside the building who is in charge of those that have been returned to the human race after their capture. Those POWs or prisoners of war will be interviewed so that they could return to their towns after destroying the resurrection box they are carrying with them. Hence making them able to return to the human race.

Ever since Shin Jiao discover how the High Elves and the Zith'ra races would imprison and enslave their captives, he has learned how to easily transfer the resurrection spot of every human being. Though it is an easy task a more portable resurrection plate is not easy to create.

The black box is a product made by the high elves using Luna's research and ability. And it has the ability to steal one's resurrection spot from their resurrection stone. These portable things act as interference and are very effective. However, once they are destroyed an immortal would return to his proper resurrection place or stone.

But for those who do not have a black box with them, they need to go to Shin Jiao's shop as the shop is the only one that can make resurrection plates that act like the black box but more portable. With this, the old black box would be rendered useless. 

Ever since Shin Jiao resumes his operation in the town of Gipard more and more people have known its diverse products and different trinkets that would appear in the shop every now and then.

Most women in the town would want to visit the shop due to those accessories that have both unique style and effects. It became a famous fashion trend in the town and even in the entire Osmond clan territory.

Since it became a craze in the town, the customers would line up outside and it became harder to enter the shop. However, for those who have an errand from the town hall, they could easily get inside the shop.

And this is the reason why the women around that woman named Eleanora are looking at her with envy.

Eleanora Vin a servant level young woman and she is about to reach the silver armor level. But she actually didn't care about power or strength. Living with the immortals in the town and with her gold armor level parents made her free from any worries.

And the reason why she took the job in the town hall is because of a chance to enter Mystique Blacksmith Shop.

In fact, she is a good friend of Eva Jung. And this is just a good reason for her to slack off.

When the two first saw each other, they immediately became close. Both are of the same age and with the same hobbies and likes. So they both enjoy each other's company and friendship.

Before Eleanora Vin escorted Luna to the shop, the two first went to a bath. As Eleanora saw that Luna seems to have suffered a lot and needs to clean herself up and relax. After that, they went to a clothing shop and then to a restaurant.

Luna was really grateful to Eleanora who treated her kindly.

After getting a comfortable gray robe, Luna feels clean and relax after such a long time.

As the two enters the special door of the shop for the town hall employees, Eleanora saw a beautiful young woman suddenly running towards them.

"Eleanora, I missed you…" Eva Jung said as she suddenly hugs her friend.

When the people around them saw this scene, they could not help but smile and feel envy towards Eleanora. Who didn't know who Eva Jung is in this place?

Those who are frequent in this shop would always want to be on her good side. As the daughter of the boss in the shop, she would always recommend some good stuff to them if they are friends with her.

Eleanora then wanted to introduce Luna to Eva Jung, however, the two soon discover that the girl suddenly disappears.

They soon saw the young woman in front of a display case with her wide open.

What Luna is looking at right now is a new model of a flying sword amongst the flying weapon series. Luna was fascinated immediately upon seeing the flying weapons. But what grabs her attention are the low requirements of the user for such an artifact. 

To the best of her knowledge, a flying artifact in the immortal land is not like that in other worlds. The Dao laws in the immortal land have many factors that would hinder a low-level flying artifact from functioning.

But it seems that the human race is able to discover the secret to overcome this problem.

As she scrutinizes the tiny glyphs and rune patterns on the surface of the sword, her curiosity got the best of her as she suddenly extended her hand to grab the sword.

However, as soon as she was about to grab the sword, she soon discovers that her hand suddenly went through it.

"Eh? A decoy? No… this thing is true… but…" her eyes suddenly discover an array surrounding the display case.

"Ah… I see… a protection array. This array is very interesting. Instead of repealing, it breaks dimensions… I really want to meet the one who created this…" she mutters while her eyes are glowing with excitement.

"You want to meet Master Si Ji? That is a bit hard these days… He is very busy and has a lot of things in his hands… Hahaha…" suddenly from beside Luna a red-haired young man wearing a white robe and holding a white fan said.

When Luna shifted her gaze to the white-robed young man, her eyes suddenly turned serious.

"You're a demi-human?" she asked in a stern tone.

"Ahhh… Young missy, you have sharp eyes. How did you know?" the young man asked with a smile on his handsome face.

"I can smell the scent of a fox from you…" Luna said with a frown.

The reason for her reaction is because, on her planet, the fox people have caused too much trouble and was the reason for the wars in the kingdoms. Hence she did not have a favorable impression on them like with the high elves.

"Hey, Ji Koon… You didn't tell me that you are going to visit…" suddenly the voice of Eleanora Vin interrupted the two.

Eleanora and Eva walk towards the two with smiles on their faces. Upon seeing the red-haired handsome man from the demi-human fox clan, the two were a bit surprised and happy.

Ji Koon has recently arrived in the town along with his father who is one of the lords dispatched to Gipard town as an array expert. And he too became friends with Eva since he followed his father.

"Ah, my lovely friends are here…" Ji Koon said as he suddenly hugged the two women who were turned speechless.

"Hey, hey… hands-off…" Eleanora said with a frown as she pushes Ji Koon back.

"Luna, we need to meet with master Ji now… Follow me…" Eleanora wanted to be done with her business first then wanted to spend her time with Eva.

"Eva, I will escort her first, and then we can hang out… Wait for me, okay? And you, you have to treat the two of us since you have returned from your trip." Eleanora said while smiling at Eva, and then shifted her gaze toward Ji Koon and pointing a commanding finger.

When Eleanora left with Luna, Ji Koon scratches his head.

"Hihi… How was your trip?" Eva asked with a chuckle at the young man beside her.

"Umm… It was fine… We have a hard time following Master Ji, but we still were able to discover the demon's lair…" Ji Koon said shifting his expression into excitement.

Upon hearing his words, Eva Jung felt a bit worried. She knew felt worried for master Ji.

Some of the scouts in the southern region reported a rich deposit of minerals but the bad news is that it is being terrorized by a demon. The small town in that area has a hard time defending its territory hence they decided to ask for help from the town of Gipard.

And to the town of Gipard's surprise, Master Ji seems to have some interest to go with the small group dispatch and decided to go in that place.

"You look worried…" Ji Koon said with a smile.

"Well, it's a demon… you know."

"Haha… Don't worry... With my dad and Master Ji, we can easily get rid of that demon. We will leave 2 days from now after we finished our preparation."

"You're still coming?" Eva Jung suddenly showed a worried expression.

"Of course… they need my expertise…"

"Che… expertise? You're just a burden to them… Haha…" Eva chuckled.

"You… Whatever..." Ji Koon just shook his head.

He knew that Eva Jung is just teasing him. But deep in his heart, he could not wait to enter the demon's lair along with the group.

He has heard of the famous Master Ji, and he could not wait to see him in action.
