Chapter 115: Olog
The Mirage Desert was really big, and as thus Adam and Neith were only able to reach the nearest city by noon. At that time, the sun was high in the sky, releasing a burning hot heat. Even Adam, who was a Bronze Rank Sovereign, was feeling bothered by the heat.
His avatar was a Northman, and as thus was ustomed to cold temperatures, and he was having a harder time with hot weathers. An Orc would feel the opposite the first time theye to Colnds, cultivation didn''t matter.
But that was only a slight difort. Moreover, Adam didn''t have time to focus on his suffering, as he was too busy admiring the Orcish city.
At first, Adam thought the Orc City would be build with a simr style to Northmen cities, that the architecture would be rough. But he couldn''t be farther from the truth. While the cities in Colnds were seemingly built out of the dark rocks already present, this city was made with reinforced concrete and steel.
But that wasn''t the most shocking thing for Adam. Instead, it was another material used, that he had barely seen anywhere else in this world: ss.
There were windows in other cities, of course, but ss seemed to be vary rare, the only ces he had seen some were in Enya''s Temple in Fjora, and in Aldeneid. But even then, they were only in small quantities.
However, here ss was much more widespread, evenmon living houses had ss windows. Adam couldn''t help but wonder why, he didn''t know how ss could be made, but it looked like the Orcs were the only ones capable of producing it.
Adam had already recalled Neith in his Pet Space as he toured the market ce of the city, and as he had thought it was very different from other ces he had been to. Even the yers, the way they behaved, the way they dressed
But that was to be expected. Although it wasn''t an absolute truth, most of the yers had still been dispatched through the world depending in the region they lived in. This was done so that everyone could y during the day.
After all, while it was noon in New York, they were already nearing the evening in Europe. As such, if the cycle of day and night of the whole game followed a certain region, then some yers would be force to y during the night.
That''s why, the different regions around the world had time differences. If a yer wanted to visit another Empire, then they had to be ready to y during night time in game.
Fortunately, Adam didn''t have this trouble. While the Colnds Empire and Buwog were at the opposite ends of the world map, they were on the extreme North and South, and time varied from East to West.
To use a real worldparison, the north of Sweden and the South of South Africa were extremely far from each other, and yet they had no time differences. The situation was the same between Colnds and Buwog.
However, the Empires were so big that from one end to another there would indeed be time differences, but the city Adam was in didn''t have anypared to Azure Sky Kingdom.
However, once he reached Buwog there would be a two hours difference, it would be 10 am there instead of 12.
Anyway, this ce was very different from what Adam was used to, and it was quite enjoyable for him. Unfortunately, he didn''t have the time to slowly savor the new vors he discovered in this city, as he had somewhere else to go.
Originally, his ns were to reach this city, take a rest, and then teleport to the closest city to Yam he could teleport to, and find a way in the capital.
However, the update and meeting Yokgu had changed a lot of things, and now that he had the token of the Yok family, he didn''t need to worry about entering the city, he could directly teleport there.
As he had said before, to enter Yam a Northman would need a special pass, but the Yok Insignia was even better and would allow to him to teleport in the Capital from any other Capital in the world, so doing so from this city would be as easy.
Moreover, Adam got an additional benefit from his token he didn''t expect. Normally, he would have to wait for the teleportation nned every hour, but showing the token actually allowed him to skip the waiting, and be teleported right away.
This was quite a nice advantage, as Adam would have to wait 40 minutes otherwise.
Once in Yam, Adam looked around himself, trying to spot the differences, and was absolutely dumbstruck by what he saw. The buildings and houses around him weren''t very different from the previous city, but there was a particr building in the distance that made him doubt his eyes.
A giant pce made of ss stood high in the sky, it was as tall as the Imperial Pce in Fjora, but one was made of ss, and the other of rock.
Even Adam found this to be extravagant, to create an entire pce out of ss Where did they even get so much ss from anyway? Were the materials so cheap they could afford to use so much of it.
Moreover, this ought not to be normal ss, but a more precious kind that was resistant to attacks. After all, this was the ce that represented the best the power of the entire Orc Race.
Just like the Imperial Pce in Fjora, although it was made of rocks, it wasn''t just any rocks, they were all filled with rich minerals and made those rocks very sturdy and resistant to magic and aura attacks. This ss should be the same.
Another difference with normal ss was that the ss making the pce was more opaque, meaning one couldn''t easily see through. And it didn''t reflect the light of the sun like normal ss should
The more Adam looked at the pce, the more question sprouted in his mind, so he stopped thinking about it and turned to the crowd around him.
As his eyes swiped around the passerby, his gaze stopped on a guards'' patrol. He walked toward them and greeted their leader, an older orc "Hello, do you know where I can find Morbash, the cksmith?"
The squad leader seemed surprised by his question, but he answered nheless "You should be able to find him at his master''s workshop You just arrived in the city didn''t you?"
Adam nodded, so the squad leader said "If you came here because you wanted Morbash to make you a weapon or an armor, you should know before hand that it is very difficult to take amand from Morbash. A month ago thatd even refused the order of a Hero And don''t think about forcing him."
Adam raised an eyebrow and said "Don''t you mind the fact I am a Northman? You seem very open minded."
The old orc smiled and said "I don''t think one''s race is important, the mind is more important."
As he said that, one of the younger guards behind him, whispered to another guard "How shameless can that traitor be"
Adam saw the old orc''s face change a little, but he said nothing, and kept his smile. As such, Adam cupped his fists at the old orc and said "Thank you for your cooperation. Tell me, what''s your name?"
It was Adam''s turn to surprise the old orc who said "I am Olog, what''s your name young man?" Adam smiled at Olog and said "Olog, know that from today, I consider you as one of my friends. If you ever need any help, use this."
Adam threw a little t rock of a deep blue color at Olog and left the ce. Olog, as well as the other guards around him, all looked at the rock with curiosity.
However, when they saw the rune drawn on the rock, they all shuddered. They realized that the Northman they had just met was the legendary Aqua Sovereign!
