The Geared Immortal

Chapter 882 - A Viscount Invitation

Chapter 882

(Unedited)

…

Inside a luxuriously decorated room in the flying ship, Shin Jiao and Hua Xiao are currently receiving the brother of Viscount Merl and his companions. This is Shin Jiao's office and is usually used to welcome many important guests coming to the ship.

"Master Shin, I am here on behalf of my brother to give you this invitation letter. In about a month's time, Main Arjing City is going to have a festival and the Viscount will be holding a feast. Many important people from the kingdom would be visiting the Viscount. As someone who has saved the Viscount daughter, my brother wanted to give his thanks to you…"

This man is named Dilwald Merl, the 2nd oldest brother of the Viscount. He is a famous businessman in Main Arjing City and also someone with authority in the whole of the Southern Kang Province. Although his authority is lower than his brother's, Dilwald Merl is not someone to be trifled with.

His business dabbled in different industries. But he mainly focuses on weapons and advancements.

Hence he is truly interested in what he is seeing right now.

Ever since he enters the ship, he is like an excited child who roams his eyes around the ship. From the lights to the weapons of the mage guards and the air control machines inside the ships. He scrutinized them thoroughly as those are new to his eyes.

Even inside the room, his eyes are roaming around, and would touch every single thing he could see which attracts his attention.

After saying his words and then giving Shin Jiao the invitation, his eyes once again roam around the room. Suddenly something caught his attention.

"What… what is this?" he asked while walking to the table.

In front of him is a crystal that is emitting multiple colors on its surface.

When Shin Jiao saw what he is talking about, a slight smile appears on his face. This crystal is something that he is working on for a while now but has still not finished it. It is a combination of two crystals and a mana stone. It has the mind stone, the image crystal, and a mana stone inside with some glyphs to control the processing flow.

This would act like a console box that would connect to a server which he would soon erect in the middle of Central Town.

This would be the first prototype of a virtual world in this place. Although he plans to make it into something like a training simulation or a game, the main purpose of the virtual world is to connect to each mind in the land and then access their souls through it. That way he could hit two birds with one stone.

First is his goal to find the two saint rulers or deities to fulfill his promise to the Baldrix the Elemental dragon, and the second one is to help Nariz Gumal find his brother in this sea of souls.

Shin Jiao knew that these people have been born and reborn in this endless cycle of life for many years now. And he did not want to stop this cycle actually. What he wanted to do is to find a way to get in and out of this place and the way for that is to get his hands on the real information from those in the palace.

And also finding the two saint rulers or deities would also be helpful but of course dangerous. They might even trap him in this place forever. Hence the only real option is to read their souls reveal their true form.

The memories of these people are not intact, so he is not relying on those.

Shin Jiao carefully took the orb from and then replace it on the table where it was put into.

"Mister Dilwald, that this is an unfinished product. But in the future, once it is finished, I assure you that it would show you a new world." Shin Jiao said with a smile.

When Dilwald Merl heard this his eyes twinkled. He has already been mesmerized and amazed at all the new stuff on this ship. Not to mention the large ship which he heard could fly and how it was built. He has a deep admiration for everything he has seen.

After the visit that night of the Viscount Brother, Hua Xiao has signed a contract with them and they would be delivering the goods when they visit Main Arjing city next month.

…

The next day, the bustling town once again became busy. However, right at this moment, there is something that attracted everyone who is listening to the radio station.

The female DJ caught everyone's attention with her introduction.

"Ladies and Gentlemen… We have a guest star for today. I think all of you know her. She has been giving us one hit song after another in just a couple of days. And I heard that she is going to release all of those songs in an album. Wow… I'm excited about that. Well, I would not make you people guess long. Here she is the woman who has the voice of an angel… Miss Isabel Nightingale…"

Clap! Clap! Clap!

Clapping sounds could be heard inside the radio station as the voices of the people in it could be heard by the listeners.

"Tell me, Miss Nightingale… Is it true about the rumor that this new song of yours is a sort of collaboration with another group?"

"Hihi… Yes… As you can see, my friends are with me today and we are going to serenade all of you with this heartfelt and soulful song that I have created for everyone…" Isabel said with a slight chuckle.

When the listeners heard this their attention is immediately on the radio as they anticipated this new song that would be coming out today.

"Ah… Miss Isabel has created another song. My song goddess is really good at making songs and I think she has already created almost 8 songs, right?"

"I wish I could listen to those 8 songs always…"

"Yeah, me too… She is truly the song goddess of Central Town."

The people in the town began to discuss while trying to listen to the radio.

"Okay, the floor is yours…" the female DJ said.

Silence could be heard as if the town suddenly stood still.

At this time, Shin Jiao just arrive as he decided to check the first TV station that they plan to build in the town. Right at this moment, he immediately noticed the deafening silence of the whole town. The hustle and bustle of the town seem to have stopped just at that moment.

Then from the radio, the string instruments began to play. The tune is mellow and a bit upbeat, and this is followed by the flute. When Shin Jiao heard this, he could not help but think of an orchestra where many instruments are playing a melodious song.

He could not help but also stop and then listen to the radio on the side.

"Master Shin… I think this is one of the newest songs of the famous singer, Miss Isabel Nightingale…" Hua Xiao who is walking beside Shin Jiao said.

Following them is Xiamen Gong who seems to also be interested in the new tune coming from the radio.

"I like this singer… her voice is… heavenly…" Xiamen Gong said while he perks up his ears.

Soon, an angelic voice slowly began to echo out and her voice made Shin Jiao feel like listening to a singing angel.

She truly has a beautiful voice. That he could not deny.

The lyrics of the song echoed through the air followed by the powerful accompaniment which truly made the song enter the listener's heart. It is very mesmerizing and soulful that some of the women on the side could be seen showing misty eyes. Even Hua Xiao felt that way.

"The elves are playing this tune… as the tune itself is actually imbued with magic." Shin Jiao thought.

He could feel that this tune could control the flow of mana in the air and its effect is rather satisfying. It could actually calm one's heart as the mana flows with the music.

Plus what made everything seem perfect, is the combination of the accompaniment and the voice of the singer.

Shin Jiao suddenly had an interest in knowing who these people are. If his conjecture is true, then he might have the opportunity to interact with the elven race in this land. At least they are not as treacherous as those in the immortal land.

With this decision in mind, Shin Jiao walks in another direction.

"Master Shin… Where?..." Hua Xiao and Xiamen Gong have a look of confusion in their eyes upon seeing Shin Jiao take another way.

"You guys go first, I need to check something out.. Please see to it that everything is prepared once I get there, okay?" Shin Jiao said as he left the two who are still feeling dumbfounded.
