After Surviving the Apocalypse, I Built a City in Another World - Chapter 1638

1638: For Shame!

1638: For Shame!

They were still innovating weapons using bones, other people not only innovated iron, but steel too.

People had more or less become skills with the elements and showing off techniques they had never seen before.

The average level was absolutely much higher, too, and it seemed like the kids weren’t too far away from the village powerhouses in terms of level.

“Don’t be too hard on yourselves,” Tanod said, chewing on some snacks he had from space.

He had been to both territories, and they really were much better than the villages they had been to, at least before landing in Alterra.

If they hadn’t been to Alterra first, those territories would’ve greatly impressed them, too.

Basically, the Lord’s people, especially those who had lasted the past year, could be said to all be very special.

“Alterran’s progress is just… abnormal,” he said.

“As a local who had been through dozens of territories in his lifetime, you were doing very well.” The other Lords felt both guilty and shy.

“…thanks.” They had to remind themselves that they were not slow; someone else was just too fast.

To some degree, that indeed made them feel a bit better.

It also allowed them to appreciate the sights more because they were feeling less sorry about themselves.

Around them, various commentaries also emerged, and they listened to others’ observations.

As Lords, they should listen more, and maybe they could get more ideas and insights.  “Those uniforms are so cool,” some people say, looking at the guards around.

Some were just standing still, watching, while others were actively fighting.

“They seem comfortable.” “I think they’re specially designed, too!” another said when they saw a wind user flying with the assistance of his uniform.

One had to know that wind users could only lift themselves up for a few seconds before running out of mana!

“Yes!

Those are totally designed for wind users!

So cool!” He turned to Tanod, who was the Alterran nearest to him.

“Were these made here in Xeno?” “Yes.

Guard uniforms are designed according to elements,” he said, quite proud.

After all, these people questioned him (someone whispering ‘potential scammer’) every minute before they left the village.

He felt extremely vindicated to show off like this!

“Oh, so that’s what it was!” Another exclaimed, turning to a friend to share his findings.

“You probably didn’t see through the foliage, but from my angle, I saw a guard with fire abilities who didn’t seem to worry about lighting himself on fire!”  His companion, a young man named Crunk, nodded.

“I also saw a wind user who had a bow and arrow, and he was practically flying as he shot.” He was a wind user too, but wind was wind.

Technically speaking, it should not be able to lift its weight so high and for so long.  Also, designing it would not be simple, nor would determining the materials that would fit the function.

He looked at Lord Crispin.

“Can we have that, please, milord?” Lord Crispin rolled his eyes.

This guy happened to be his nephew, which was why he had the face to act like a baby as a big man.

Tambai and Tanod chuckled.

“Well, if you are allied, you might be able to get some deals,” they said, showing their own uniforms.

It was one of the initial versions and was relatively simpler, but still impressive.

“Ours are fairly simple but comfortable, practical, and can add a bit of defense, all while being flexible and letting the body breathe.” Tanod could become a salesman at this rate.

“Elementalists have more advanced versions that would be advantageous for their abilities.” “We also have a lot of Class D weapons that are pretty much a commodity even civilians can buy.

The best ones are now steel, as you mentioned, though those would probably not be for sale for a while and are provided exclusively for guards.” The Lords and their cronies could only gulp, very enticed.

Anyway, they soon reached the roads and then the level 5 walls.

They looked at the dense sentries that could be said to be a bit of an overdesign.

Honestly, they shouldn’t be surprised anymore.

And soon, they neared the gates.

At this point, a portion of the forest had been cleared, so they were clearer about the amount of traffic heading in and out of the territory.

“So many beast carts…” “I’ve never seen so many before…” “I’ve never seen one before,” said a Terran, looking at the carts as they queued up.

Many villagers hadn’t encountered one before, which was natural.

“Is that even practical?” “I think someone from our territory is trying to make horses, yeah?” “That’d take a while.” They really didn’t know what to expect coming here, but they never stopped gaping, especially after entering the walls and paying the (very affordable) visitor’s fee.  The place was bustling, and that was an understatement.

Their villages also had stalls and shops, yes, but not to this degree.

There were probably only a handful who owned businesses, and they would just hire people to work for them.

Here, there were dozens upon dozens of stalls in an area, not counting the ones carrying their items with them.

This was only the entrance plaza, too, where the beast inns were.

Soon, they were taken to the bike terminal, and they shook at the sheer scale of it.  Connected to the entrance plaza was an area as big as a basketball court.

Here, there were rows and rows of bikes, rows and rows of bikes with sidecars, and so on.  They watched as some of these bikes were rented out and entered the wide main avenue, joining the hundreds of others!

Just from this, they knew there were a lot more things that would continue shocking them the further in they go.

A place like this wanted to ally with them?

Worse, they questioned them like they were criminals wanting to take advantage of them!

Hey, they wanted to bury their faces in the ground in shame!

CREATORS’ THOUGHTS NispedanaSan Shameee!
