Chapter 933 Leaders of the Wanderlust Travelling Tortoise Runaway City (2)

"But you seem tense. Why don't you come to visit the Red Light District while you still have time to ease the stress in your body? You know it's not good for a woman to have such a stern expression all the time; only the Queen can pull that off when she does it," Mistress Sylvana smiled, raising an eyebrow at Commander Sy'ra.

"Of course, I always wonder how you manage to handle so many gods' chosens and keep them in check. It must be tough, right?"

"You should consider yourself lucky I'm not in the mood for banter," Commander Sy'ra snorted, noting that she had remained silent throughout their conversation. However, hearing her speak, she realized she was mistaken; the Vixen was still as nonchalant as ever, as long as it didn't affect the Red Light District.

'Let's see how you react when the news finally breaks,' Commander Sy'ra thought, a glint flashing as she shifted her attention elsewhere.

Mistress Sylvana smiled in response, almost as if she already knew what Commander Sy'ra was thinking. However, her smile quickly turned into a frown when she caught the look in Commander Sy'ra's eyes.

While she shared the others' worries about the Queen's summons, she hoped it wasn't related to a direct confrontation with the Sleeping Fox Runaway City or the strange occurrences within the Vylkr Veil phenomenon.

Nonetheless, she noticed how they all seemed strategically avoiding those situations.

The wide steel door suddenly swung open, and a woman entered. She had long red hair flowing behind her, crowned with a golden tiara. Her piercing crimson eyes matched the colour of her regal red dress, adorned with jewels and intricate designs that accentuated her curves and undeniable allure.

It was Queen Eleanora Fairwind, leader of the Wanderlust Travelling Tortoise Runaway City.

Following behind the Queen was a man in a sophisticated, tailored white suit, exuding an air of elegance and confidence. His dark hair framed his sharp features, and his demeanour spoke of authority.

He was Lord Lucien, the Chief Advisor and Strategist, serving as the Queen's primary advisor. Unlike most leaders, he didn't oversee a specific section of the Wanderlust Travelling Tortoise Runaway City but played a crucial role in advising and strategizing for the city.

All eight city leaders stood up respectfully to welcome her entrance, but as they saw the next individual step in behind them, they couldn't help but stare in confusion and surprise.

Behind him was a woman dressed in leather and metal-plated armour that barely covered her ample cleavage but securely protected her arms and body. She wore a leather-like mini skirt around her waist, a garter belt-like undergarment beneath it, and a 1.8-meter (5.9 ft) long Gearweaver Sword strapped to her back, with a sack tied around her waist.

She was Freya, the Captain of the 1st Unit Vanguard Team of the Wanderlust Travelling Tortoise Runaway City.

This unit had been sent to test the waters—observe and report on how the Sleeping Fox Runaway City would react to their presence, and retrieve Patriarch Rylan and the Divine Artefact, if possible, before deciding whether to send reinforcements.

Lord Asher glanced at Commander Sy'ra's unsurprised expression briefly, then shifted his attention back to Captain Freya, mainly focusing on the sack hanging from her waist.

Meanwhile, the other leaders noticed the subtle cues and glanced at Commander Sy'ra briefly.

Commander Sy'ra, however, pretended she hadn't noticed their gazes.

After taking her high-backed seat, which was adorned with various precious stones much more lavishly than the others, Queen Eleanora sat down and commanded, "Please be seated."

The leaders promptly took their seats, and Captain Freya positioned herself behind Queen Eleanora.

"I apologize for the delay; I was dealing with urgent matters concerning my younger sister's condition," Queen Eleanora explained, her gaze sweeping across everyone in the room.

Just as Lord Asher was about to speak, Queen Eleanora raised her hand, signalling him to hold his question.

"I know you may have guessed the reason for summoning you here. However, it's not what you think. This matter is unrelated to the Divine Artefact or the Sleeping Fox Runaway City," Queen Eleanora announced firmly, her expression serious and voice resonating across the room.

Upon hearing Queen Eleanora's words, the expressions of all seven leaders turned grave.

"Hand it over," Queen Eleanora commanded, extending her left hand toward Captain Freya, who promptly opened the bag and extracted the Vylkr alloy from the mine deposit, passing it to her.

As they observed Captain Freya's actions and the precious stone in her hands, they looked astonished at the sight of the Vylkr alloy.

Unlike ordinary inhabitants who might take some time to recognize it, they were at the top of the ecosystem and well-

versed in improving their lives and the city's prosperity. Therefore, they quickly identified the distinct nature of the Vylkr energy.

After all, it was one of the essential resources for any Runaway City to survive, something their city spent a fortune to acquire if they encountered another Runaway City in possession of it.

Even though it was just a tiny piece, not as large as the one before them, resembling the size of a head, they understood its immense value.

"Goodness, this is a Vylkr alloy!" Lord Kael exclaimed, his long black hair tied in a ponytail and spectacles perched on his nose, clad in a flowing deep brown robe that reached his ankles.

His shock was evident as he glanced at Captain Freya before composing himself and turning his attention back to Queen Eleanora, awaiting her explanation.

The other seven leaders mirrored Lord Kael's reaction, their eyes fixed on Queen Eleanora, awaiting her explanation.

"Yes, indeed, it's the Vylkr alloy," Queen Eleanora affirmed, nodding first at Lord Kael and then addressing the attentive leaders before her.

"After the Vylkr veil dissipated, the 1st unit of the Vanguard team discovered a massive crater wide enough to accommodate more than a hundred of the Wanderlust Travelling Tortoise Runaway City and the Sleeping Fox Runaway City simultaneously. It was also deep enough that extracting anyone from it would require considerable effort, even with sufficient manpower."

"Within this immense crater, they found an enormous deposit of Vylkr alloys, each piece larger than any we have ever seen. This indicates an untouched, undiscovered Vylkr alloy mine," she explained, watching the leaders' expressions shift from shock and surprise to disbelief and then to an indescribable blend of emotions that defied simple expression.
