The Geared Immortal

Chapter 743

(Unedited)

…

The small inconspicuous village has become busy as the people in it began their daily training. Everyone is either inside their house trying to breakthrough, while others are testing their strength to open the village gates.

It has already been a week since Shin Jiao arrives in the village and its liveliness could be felt in the air.

Those who are able to pass through the gates are currently outside doing farm works and harvesting. Some are even in the forest hunting for some small beasts.

Meanwhile, Shin Jiao is currently inside a new building which he built and in front of him are five people. They stood in a row with a hint of anxiousness and excitement on their faces.

As Shin Jiao reads their data which they filled out, he feels a bit contented. The information in those papers has been tested and confirmed by Il'san Bo so he trusted that they are all correct. Anyway, he still needed to test them of their aptitudes in crafting and alchemy.

"Alright, since you all have entered this room, the five of you knew what this is all about, right?" Shin Jiao asked as he lifted his eyes and look at the five people.

Shin Jiao looks at the only female in the group, Shannon Bo, Il'san's daughter. The blue-haired lady got her beauty from her mother and father, and her hair from her dad.

"Yes, master!" the five replied.

"Alright, I will first teach you about crafting… everyone picks a table…"

Shin Jiao began his assessment of their skills. And soon, he discovers that out of the five people, only two have the bare minimum standard to pass the alchemy test and the rest are able to grasp also the bare minimum skill in crafting.

He has learned that those two were half alchemists in their old worlds, while the other two are able craftsmen in theirs. Meanwhile, Shannon Bo actually has the ability both, but she still choses to be a craftsman, so Shin Jiao lets her follow her choice.

Although they have not yet grasped the essence of the universe, the five people are able to do basic crafting and alchemy with the use of gears and equipment. With that, the five began their training.

And so days turn into weeks, and weeks turn into months…

 The village slowly grew, and the peasants soon improved and half of them are now servant level.

Shin Jiao has not built the town yet, as he knew that it is now time for the improvement to rapidly grow. Plus the peasants who reached the servant level have families in the village which they didn't want to leave.

Meanwhile, in these few months, Shin Jiao has traveled back and forth from the village to Gipard town using his teleportation skill.

He even brought many of his employees from Gipard to the village as they became teachers and mentors to the peasants. He has also learned about the situation on the front lines. The combined army seems to have retreated due to the pressure from the other races.

For some unknown reason, the other races began to pressure the high elves and the Zith'ra races to stop the war. It is unknown why, but it seems that the dragon race has gotten involved in this matter.

As one of the most powerful demi-god races, the dragon race intervened and the war ceased for a time. But the main reason for this is actually a growing threat coming from an incoming doom from the stars.

In a wide plain, a high platform stood in the middle. On this platform are a few powerful figures. These figures have the power level of saint rulers. They all come in different shapes and sizes as each of them belongs to the different races that are living in the immortal land.

In the middle of them are two high chairs that belong to the two most powerful beings in the immortal land. One is a handsome looking 3 meters tall man wearing golden armor, while the other one is a 2 meters tall black scaled dragonkin with his wings wrapping around him like a cape.

"Since all of the saint rulers in the immortal land are already in here, I am going to start the council meeting." The golden armored giant said.

As a member of the Gigantus race, the golden armored man though has shrunk from his original size. Still tall he is taller than the dragonkin beside him.

"We have been informed by the deities that an incoming wave of shadow beings seemed to have discovered the existence of this planet." the dragonkin on the side of the golden armored man said.

When the saint rulers heard this everyone showed a worried look on their faces. They knew what this threat means, it means that the immortal land might be destroyed and it would affect the entire crusade of the light against the darkness.

But of course, the deities outside would not let this happen. However, they knew that they still need to be prepared.

Within the crowd, the human saint rulers shifted their gazes toward the high elves. The humans knew that the high elves might have an idea of what is happening. But they dare not say it out loud without concrete evidence.

"We would just like to inform each race to be vigilant at this time and stop the endless war." The dragonkin said as he shifted his gaze to the Zith'ra and High Elves.

"We are going to face a new threat this time, and there is a chance that our immortality in this place would not work on them. So I suggest that you all should be careful…" the golden giant said with a stern tone.

Everyone immediately discussed this as this news is very alarming.

…

Meanwhile, within the dungeons of the high elven empire, a sorry looking figure could be seen smiling sinisterly while looking at the pool of water on a wooden cup. She is mumbling some incoherent words from her mouth while she would giggle every now and then.

The woman's eyes are filled with hatred and anger while muttering those incoherent words from her mouth.

Luna Halil has been in this prison for as long as she could remember. For thousands of years, she was forced to create unique weapons that the high elves have used against the war. However, she has laced those weapons with a trap. Those who overused it would be turned into demons and that was her curse and revenge against the high elves who imprisoned her.

One day, she encountered a prisoner of the high elves and discovers the war the high elves are waging against the humans.

From that same prisoner, she learned that the human race is able to create some weapons that could be on par with her artifacts. And this made her became curious as the same time excited. Her competitive spirit was aroused and she began to help the high elves freely and also began to develop new weapons for them.

She was released from the dungeon due to her cooperative decision and was freely given a chance to research and craft more artifacts.

But as she learned more about the humans, she feels more excited and as if crazy upon knowing that someone is able to create something that she too was able to craft.

However, it seems that the human is able to make something that she has not thought of. The high elves showed her some of the weapons and this made her excited as she began to research the weapons.

But when she was about to develop something really devastating according to what she learned, the war suddenly stopped and she was soon dragged back to the dungeons.

Now she realized that the humans might have someone who is just like her, a member of her race, or someone carrying the blood of her race. If this is true then she needs to meet this person. She needs to see who it was that is helping the humans. And with that, she might be able to fulfill her promise to her ancestors.

And so, she began forming a plan in her mind and began chanting some spell. At first, she did not want to use this spell because she has no purpose. She thought that if she could escape the empire of the high elves, she would not have many places to go.

In her entire life in the immortal land, all she knew is the four corners of the dungeon or the workshop. If she goes out, she did not know how she would live. She has no goal after all.

But now, everything is different. She now has a destination and a goal. She needs to go to the land of the human race and find that person. Only by finding that person she could learn the truth. And if that person is really of the same blood as hers, she decided to stay with him or her.

This simple idea made Luna Halil feel excited to the point of looking crazy as she concentrated on her chanting. It is along with a spell which she has memorized by heart from her old world. With this spell, she knew that she is able to escape this place.

She has already determined the direction, and the point, hopefully, she could successfully arrive in that place without any trouble.

Thinking about going on a new adventure made her feel excited to the point of grinning crazily and giggling every now and then. And this would interrupt her chanting. But she didn't care, all she knew is that this is the first time that she feels excited after thousands of years of imprisonment.

This is the first time, that she has a goal in her life and the first chance that the high elves did not restrict her that much, they didn't even put cuffs on her. Maybe because this is the first time that she was very cooperative towards them.. So, she must grab this chance, if not, she might stay inside this dungeon forever.
