Song of Time - Dusk Awakening Verse - Chapter 52

Translator: NovelMultiverse | Editor: NovelMultiverse

Compared with the neat and orderly airship platform, the interior of Rock City presented a kind of disorderly disorder.

Through the fluorite tunnel 20 meters deep under the city gate, there was a huge oval rock house about 60 meters high and 100 meters wide. It was the most lively place in the city: the mercenary hall. The whole red and yellow stone house was covered with strange graffiti of various pigments. There was no formal entrance or exit at the front and back. All people have to enter the hall through holes of different sizes and shapes. From a distance, it looked like half a flower skin full of holes, which always gave people a creepy feeling.

Rhea did not intend to enter the hall today but took a customary glance. She took Yuno along the wide and winding chariot and horse road beside the city gate to the northwest. There was the place where Workshop Carlo, which was loved and hated by mercenaries, was located.

On both sides of the road, most of the residential houses chiseled along the stone walls are very simple. One door, two windows, and several stone steps made it a safe haven. The narrow stone road connects all the cabins, and the long and short floating bridges above the driveway lead to all levels. This kind of multi-layer cobweb-like traffic structure often made novices in Rock City lose their direction and can no longer be remembered where their residence was.

Went west along the main road, through a green tree square with an underground reservoir, bypassed the heavily guarded improved bakery plantation, and then walked north for a short time to see the mechanical style of the Workshop Carol peripheral trading ground. Three building was 18 meters high, and there are elevators all over the alloy wall. The man just needed to select the location. He pressed the button to transport the guests and goods to the platform outside the entrance of each floor, which was very convenient.

Whenever they came here all the year-round, the venues were always crowded with businessmen, spied and ordered from all over the country. As a result, all the surrounding stone houses had been built into various restaurants and hotels. The business was booming, so it had naturally become a place of contention in the eyes of the major forces in the city.

“Sister Rhea..” The female Lord was still looking at the crowded commercial teams on the trading floor, feeling the astonishing financial resources of her partner. Suddenly, Yuno passed up to her and whispered, “I saw a group of Flower Guards on the edge…It must have been sent by my father to wait for me! Let’s s go. I don’t want them to follow.”

Lord Sarong was so persistent that overprotection could let man headache…Rhea couldn’t help laughing, and her eyes swept. Sure enough, she saw a group of powerful warriors in golden cloaks and silver inlaid armor, looking around for something. She took aim at the little doctor who stretched himself out a little nervously. Naturally, she took a belt to his side and pulled his hood down. She still walked slowly. Her grey cloak, which could be seen everywhere in the crowd, naturally did not attract any attention of the pursuers, thus successfully avoiding an embarrassing crisis.

Further north of the trading ground is the high-voltage power grid wall at the periphery of the workshop. Teams of puppet soldiers armed with heavy weapons patrol and guard day and night. If there was any movement, more inspectors would be called in for assistance. In the guard box in the center of the gate, there were more powerful people sitting in the guard box, and there was an automatic fire network on standby at any time. If it was not for the staff or invited, man couldn’t easily break through this barrier.

Walking here, there was basically no figure around. Ignoring the puppet soldiers with silver reflection, Rhea skillfully went to the black sensor in the middle of the protective grid and put her right hand up. In the blink of an eye, the green light lighted up. With the sound of the copper bell,” Ding Dong “, the electric wall slowly retreated into a small hole. Rhea pulled Yuno to quickly drill in. The next second, the gap was covered by the arc again, covering all the eyes trying to look inward.

Inside the electric wall was a large open stone flat. There were several silver-white metal buildings in the distance. There were many strange-shaped machines outside the buildings. It was not clear what they were used for. Rhea looked around and focused her eyes on the two figures in the dark in front of the building. Without saying a word, she strode there with Yuno and soon heard the faint conversation.

“…… Didn’t I ask you to stay for me? Now tell me there is none! Hum! Who is in charge? I’m going to deduct all his bonus! “The angry girl’s voice must belong to Gloria·Vella, the alchemist.

“Miss…As you know, there has been a lot of pressure over there recently. If we don’t deliver the goods, there will be some trouble…You don’t need to use it in a hurry, so I agree… “It was a middle-aged man’s voice. It sounded like he’s in a good position.

“Well, well, you did it, but I was so kind to you! Return the nine-fold orbit analyzer I gave you last month. Come back soon.”

“Miss, you…How can anyone bring back their birthday gifts… “The man burst into a bitter smile, sighed, and begged for mercy. “Well, I’ll give you time to rush out one…Is that all right with you? “

“……How long will it take? “

“This…Five days? “

“What?”

“No, four…three…How about two days, two days? “The man carefully aimed at her expression, and finally gnawed at the bottom line of two days.

“Hum…” The girl seemed dissatisfied, but she caught a glimpse of the two people of Rhea who were striding towards her. Her expression changed immediately, and she flew straight to the past with a smile on her face” Rhea, Yuno, You are here at last.”

“Be careful!” Rhea, frowning, came forward and put out her arms to hold the girl. Although physically speaking, the other side was not weak. Still, because of her natural disease, Rhea always treated her like a porcelain doll and never allowed her to do physical work.[Read this novel and other amazing translated novels from the original source at the “Novel Multiverse dot com” website @ novelmultiverse.com]

“Don’t worry, I’m not that delicate!” As if to prove her strength, the alchemist grinned and shook her hand.

The landlady did not move. She even wanted to blame her. The girl turned her eyes and looked to the side. She took Yuno’s hand and ran downstairs with him. She also called out, “Come with me, take you to see my latest masterpiece!”

Before he could say a word, the little doctor was dragged forward by her, bumped for several steps before he could settle down. He did not dare to pull his hand so hard that she might fall down. He could only grin and hold his breath and run away with the girl with his stuffy head.

Rhea squinted her eyes in place and helplessly watched the two young running desperately ahead, tipping their feet slightly and catching up with them in a few small leaps. Several people turned the corner of the floor one after the other, and in the open ground ahead was a heavy-duty scorpion-like combat car built of pure alloy, more than three meters high and more than ten meters long.

“When…” Gloria leaped impatiently to the foot of the chariot, held the shining reflective alloy plate, and introduced it with a pant of breath, “Take a quick look, how tough is it? Is it handsome? Oh, this fellow, its name is Tamilis. It’s all up to him for this assignment!”

The mechanical beast looked awesome, but not quite right for Yuno’s taste. He slowly turned around the chariot, drew a corner of his mouth, and asked a little more, strangely, “… You still give the car a name?”

“Humming…” The girl proudly put her hands on her back and shouted, “Tamilis! Open the door!”

The clear voice echoed around the wall for a while, but did not cause any follow-up reaction and was silent all around. Yuno raised his ears and blinked his eyes, and looked at the girl impartially, wondering what the purpose of her call was. Rhea stepped forward and tapped the car for an interview to test its hardness. Just as she asked for details, she heard a mechanical voice mixed with sand frequency interference: “Tamilis, Tamilis.”

The two crystal lights that were originally thought to be decorative suddenly lit up in front of the car. The huge beast shook itself a few times, shaking the iron-tailed hook like a long whip, slowly opening the side door and resting still.

“…This is a puppet soldier!? Cool!” With an uncontrollable exclamation, Yuno rushed to the front of the chariot, staring at the two blue-glowing crystals.

“Did you not expect it?” The alchemist was so proud that her nose was almost up in the air that she had spent so much effort designing the heavy puppet fighting car that it took several days overnight. Now it was time to show off.

The girl turned her head and looked at Rhea, and was very proud to see that she was also staring slightly open at the chariot, glancing up and down. With her eyes turning again, she quickly ran into the car and sat in the driver’s seat, buckled up her seat belt, and shouted to both of them, “Come on! I’ll take you to the street to try your car and stop by to find the Big Emon.”

Unagreeable to this, Yuno immediately turned into the door and looked around in the soft-chair backrest. The entire car looked very high, but it was unexpectedly crowded in the compartment, leaving only countless instruments and electronic screens that could not be read, except for a few seats and a row of empty weapon slots. He had no interest in the equipment dedicated to these alchemists, and moved forward behind the girl, looking enthusiastically at how she operated, as if he had made up his mind to drive it again by himself.

“Drive slowly and watch out for the crowd,” Rhea whispered, sat in the seat by the door, buckled up her seat belt, and looked quietly at the two exciting people in front, with a little attention left to watch the noise around her.

“Sit down well! Come on!” Gloria exclaimed, pressing several operating knobs on the panel, closing the door slowly, pulling down the upper sun visor quickly, leaving only a bright space in front of the console in the entire field of vision. Then came a rumbling magical roar, the instruments inside the car all flashed, the entire car shivered slightly, and the wheels of the flying track drove forward sharply. Yuno, who had not had time to buckle his seat belt, was thrown back into the rear seat by a huge force, but Rhea quickly caught him so that he could not suffer from flesh and skin.

“Slow down!” Rhea’s consul gave a slight shout, and the girl wittily vomited her tongue and pressed the switch on the engine. The speed then dropped sharply. Three pairs of mechanical giant feet were suddenly projected under the hidden baffles on both sides of the chariot, raising the body high and stepping forward smoothly, simulating the natural form.

When the person in charge of the guard post at the gate saw this awe-inspiring and strange battle car, he opened the access to the power grid with unusual calm. He watched it go down the slope all the way. The guards were not surprised by the playful nature of the workshop’s family, who did not even need to ask questions.

The scorpion war chariot seemed to be sick and was headed to the northeast at a fixed pace. Pedestrians on the road avoided the monster on both sides, admiring or envying it, but did not dare to stop it. Looked at the huge Workshop Carlo’s Robot badge on the body. What’s more, there weren’t many people in Rock City who dare to be so respectful except the alchemist of that very rich.

The Tamiris went on smoothly and soon came out of the city’s huge open-air arena, the most commonplace for all combatant mercenaries. Ancient boulders form a humble round high wall with a total of ten viewing stands in the wall more than 30 meters high, filled with tall plants for shading. There would also be vendors pushing carts to sell food and drinks between platforms. If a man doesn’t look around at the grotesque and rude guys, it was like an open-air theatre tone.

The chariot stood in the parking lot designated outside the stone wall, the mechanical feet were turned inwards, and the tracked steel wheels touch the ground again. When the door opened wide, Rhea reached out and pulled Yuno’s cap up. When she got out, she glanced carefully around to make sure it was safe. Then she took two people through the entrance to the fence and saw several figures standing on the front platform.

The afternoon sun burned man hot, but the atmosphere in the arena boiled man’s blood even more. Countless noises, cheers, swears, and all kinds of sharp and harsh knocks crowded into the round arena, mingled into the trembling wind, and choked breathlessly on the face.

There was still a distance from the platform at the entrance. As the three people huddle together and follow the crowded crowd, they hear a loud, shrill noise, and then an enthusiastic, young man’s voice said, “Ladies and Gentlemen, and guests from afar! Welcome to our world-renowned arena for a relaxation on this sunny afternoon. I’m Jesse, the hand of our company, who brings you this unprecedented battle!”

“Ah, I know you’re going to ask: Jesse, this is not your shift day. Why are you broadcasting? Yes, that’s right! I gave up my rare vacation and came to meet you, gossipy guys, just because of our God J! Our God J has finally taken on a new challenge!”

As the announcer became excited and raved hoarsely, a video of a red-haired man appeared flashing several times in the display behind the platform. He stood far away in an empty and lonely desert with only one figure on his back, his tight short-sleeved shirt pulling out his strong, tall body, and the windswept the yellow sand and set his short, red hair back.

But he did not move, not even the tremendous chopper sword on his shoulder. There seemed to be a sound in the sand. Suddenly, a largemouth of the blood vessel occupying the entire screen rushed out of the sand without warning, as if it were going to swallow him whole, with countless tangled, finely pointed teeth in his mouth glowing black as if everyone on the scene could smell the suffocating smell.

The man remained motionless, seemingly unaware of the deadly threat, but the next second he leaped up and waved his sword like a bolt of lightning. The red light cut the space, and the horrible bloody mouth, which could be chewed even with alloys, was as pasty as paper, unhindered and divided into two halves. Dark black mist overflowed wildly from the remnants, and the fearful sand beast thus turned into a black light, crossed the sky, and vanished completely into the land of Verharen.

The red-haired man retracted his sword and stood on the golden sand, turning his head slowly and perceptively, revealing a cast-iron hard side face. The video stopped abruptly, and this precious record, filmed by a well-known newspaper journalist who risked his life to lead the team, caused a sensation. Countless people cheered the God of War’s name, wildly took up the weapon and knocked the alloy guardrail, and even more excitedly cried on the spot.

An overwhelming enthusiastic voice echoes across the sky, seemingly delivering this great name to the entire continent at all costs.[Read this novel and other amazing translated novels from the original source at the “Novel Multiverse dot com” website @ novelmultiverse.com]
