The Geared Immortal

Chapter 947 - The Inner Kingdom: Traveling To The Capital (3)

Chapter 947

(Unedited)

…

The whole ship is currently burning bright as the flame breath from the dragon has enveloped it. Luckily the shield was able to hold even though it is consuming a large amount of mana energy as time goes by.

"What about the mana engine?" the captain asked with a serious expression.

"We are at 70%, sir…"

"Damn it is taking a bit long… I hope our shield could withstand that onslaught of that thing…"

Crang!!!

The deafening sound of something hitting the barrier echoed throughout the ship shaking everyone in this core.

The dragon has already latched itself in the barrier trying to tear it apart.

"Captain, the shield's integrity is down… We only have 40% energy left!" shouted the woman monitoring the ship's system.

"What are the gunners doing?"

"They are firing everything they got sir, but that thing would not budge."

"Damn it!" the captain shouted in exasperation as he clenches his fist.

Boom!!!

Suddenly a loud explosion coming from outside rocked the whole ship.

At the deck of the ship stood a young man holding a long-barreled rifle while looking at the large beast.

Boom!!!

Another loud sound reverberated through the air coming from the rifle on the young man's hand.

Shin Jiao looks annoyed at the dragon which has suffered two wounds on its body as it flew away from the ship.

Shin Jiao did not want to let it go because of his annoyance to that thing that seems to be controlled by someone or something.

He slowly floated in the air and then came rushing out of the barrier.

"Wait, you're going to hit…" a ship crew wanted to stop Shin Jiao but he stopped as the person just passes through the barrier with ease.

Shin Jiao did not look back and chases after the dragon with a long anti-material rifle on hand.

Boom!!!

Another loud sound echoed in the air as the powerful force kicks him back.

However, a bullet directly flew towards one of the dragon's eyes. It penetrated through the eye and went through the back of its head. Its powerful thick scales did not withstand the power of the anti-material rifle.

The dead dragon fell from the sky, but Shin Jiao did not let it fall and quickly absorbed it in his dimension.

Following that he flew back to the ship. He stayed outside the barrier.

"Please open the barrier…" he said to the crew who is looking at him with a slack jaw.

When that person seems to have recovered his wits, he immediately radios the bridge. Everyone saw what happened and did not hesitate to open the shielding of the ship.

Shin Jiao did not linger and quickly went back to his cabin room and once again folded his arms and closed his eyes to rest.

He might be weak, and if one checks, he is would only appear to be a 2nd level mage. But with his gears, he is equal to an Arch Mage in power or even a Grand Magus.

After that event, the ship's travel to the Capital city became smooth and trouble-free.

Meanwhile, Shin Jiao's cabin has already gained some attention as they are being served more than the rest of the cabins.

When the crews are asked, "Why do you treat them as such?"

They would just reply, "We owe them our lives…"

The captain knew that the person did not want to be known and just wanted his peace, so he made sure that his stay in the cabin is peaceful.

A day later, the flying vessel has already reached the borders of the Capital city.

Inside of Shin Jiao's cabin…

"Look, we're back at the Capital!" Ji Yaolin cried out while pointing out of the window.

"Let's go to the deck…" Ting Fanwan said.

"Yes, let's go…" the handsome mage Meda Tao also agreed but take a careful glance at the man beside him who still has his eyes closed.

Shin Jiao did not want to bother with anyone as he just takes this time to check his dimension.

After the corpse of the goddess has entered his dimension, he immediately feels that something is wrong. The life inside the small world of his dimension became vigorous. It was as if it gained some benefits from the aura exuded by the body of Agus.

With this result, a slight smile appears on his face. He could already see some small animals mutating and turning into a new species on the small planet.

But it is not enough yet as the ecosystem is not yet complete. Shin Jiao has already determined what to do next. Since it is not a complete universe and is just a small world within his dimension, he could create a large-scale array on it and create his own life cycle and make the planet be turned into something conducive for living.

Meanwhile, he could just create a smaller planet, like a moon, where he could put most of his stuff on.

With this plan in mind, Shin Jiao excitedly created a new blueprint in mind and began to mark the possible array location. Once he is able to have more time, then he would set up the array, and could possible create a new living world inside his dimension.

If he is able to set up such a thing, then he could have two gains in this process. One is the growth of karma which would increase his cultivation level, and the second is the possible improvement of his knowledge when it comes to cultivating life, and also his understanding with regards to the soul.

Suddenly, the flying vessel jerked and woke Shin Jiao from his reverie as he slowly opens his eyes.

"Hmm… So this is the Capital city…" Shin Jiao muttered to himself as he walks out of the cabin room.

Many people are already alighting from the ship and are crowding in the deck waiting for the ship to deactivate its barrier.

A bridge immediately connected to the deck and the passengers began to get off the ship.

When Shin Jiao walks out and saw the busy scene on the port, he showed a faint smile on his face. He could tell that this port was newly built and that there are only around 5 flying vessels parked on the platform just outside the Capital city.

"Welcome to the Capital city, the city of kings and nobles… we sell maps and guides, please get your copy here!" a beautiful young woman called out to the alighting passengers.

Some people walk towards her and get one copy as they paid her some silver coins.

Shin Jiao did not need to buy such a thing as he just used his spiritual sense and scanned the map. With that, he could already remember everything on it. It was a fairly detailed map, but it still lacks a lot of information he needed.

"Hey, big brother… Are you here for the enrolment? If you want you can follow us in the Alto Magus Academy, which is one of the 3 best academies in the city." Ji Yaolin said with a faint smile on her face.

Upon hearing this, Shin Jiao looks at the three and since he did not have anything to do in the city and would still need to wait for 2 weeks before his group would arrive, he decided to see the academy then.

Shin Jiao knew that most of the nobles in the kingdom have heirs in the academy, to really see the real attitude of the nobles in the Capital interacting with them would be a good idea.

"I… I can try…" Shin Jiao said with a faint smile.

"Humph… If you can pass the Alto Magus Academy, then I would surely call you my daddy… Haha…" Meda Tao said with a harrumph.

He then bowed towards the two young ladies and left. He would not want to embarrass himself. He knew that the two did not show interest in him, so why would he stick with them?

After he left, the three walks to a corner street restaurant.

"This is our favorite place to hang out…" Ji Yaolin said as she walks towards a familiar seat while waving her hand to the waitress.

"If it isn't Miss Ji… How is your trip? I heard from your older Brother Ji Wanxing that you spent a week in Zepa City…" the waitress said after approaching their table.

One could tell that they are acquaintances.

"Hihi… You can say that… I have bought a lot of things there. And this is my gift to you…" Ji Yaolin said while handing the waitress a box.

Shin Jiao scanned the box and saw a laptop computer. It seems that these two women have really feigned interest in that young man so that the stay in the cabin is pleasant.

"Is this…" the waitress wanted to say something with an excited expression.

"Yeah, you told me you wanted this for your spell research, right?" Ji Yaolin said cutting her off.

"Really! Yaolin, I love you…" the waitress hugged Ji Yaolin and kissed her on her cheek.
