The Geared Immortal

Chapter 840

(Unedited)

…

The sun on the horizon is beaming high up in the sky and the people inside a very large town busily go about their way. The day inside Central Town is as busy as always while many people go to and fro doing their business in the town.

Soldier patrols the town preserving the peace and quietness, but of course, in some inconspicuous part of the town deep within its shadows and underbelly, some forces hid in the dark are also busily going through their dark business.

This busy and lively Central Town has been in this land for many years, as its population grows so does the powers within it.

The town has five mage towers representing the current power controlling the town.

Both the dark and light forces live in equilibrium holding and controlling each other, providing an equal force that prevents one from overpowering the other.

This in turn made the town became peaceful and the citizen within lived normal lives.

Though there are times when a battle between mages and warriors would occur, it does not affect the whole tranquility of the large town.

Central Town got its name from its location. The town is located in the middle of several underlying villages which protects the southern part of Main Arjing City. If an enemy wanted to assault the city, they would go through those villages and then would be facing the large Central town which has a large number of soldiers within its garrisons.

Right now, while the town is very busy, a dark object was seen by some of the soldiers within the horizon.

"Captain! We spotted a large flying object. It might be those Scavengers bastards!" shouted the soldier who noticed the flying object.

"Report to the General and inform the Town head!" shouted the captain who also look at the horizon and noticed the flying object.

From the distance, they still could not clearly see it.

Not long later, a tall man clad in silver armor walks to the walls and directed his sight in the direction of the flying object.

"It's speed seems slow. But from the shape of that thing, it does not look like a flying beast." the general muttered.

"Umm… Sir, could it be the rumored…" one of the captains who is following the general said with hesitation and in a low voice.

"What do you mean captain?" the general asked with crease brows.

"I mean a few weeks ago, I saw some weird items from merchants from Arjing Village. They said it came from a shop in the village. And that shop came to the village through a flying ship. From what I can see from the vague shape of that object, I think it is that ship." The captain explained.

"You mean that is a flying merchant ship?" the general asked now his expression changed.

In fact, he has also heard and seen some of those items. The large army being led by General Lao was sent to that village a few days ago in search of the Viscount missing daughter. If the merchant ship is coming towards the town, then that means there might be trouble in the village, right?

This conjecture in the general's mind is also in the minds of those behind him.

"We should wait until they arrive." The general said.

About 30 minutes later, they soon could see a large flying ship hovering in the air and landing at about 500 meters away from the town.

The general and his troops are already prepared and directly rode their horses to approach the ship. Though they are not sure if their conjecture is right, they are confident that with their large number of 500 strong soldiers, the people in that ship would not be able to fight against them.

When the general and his troops are near the ship, they halted within the striking range of the mages.

"I am General Bal Tris of Central Town. I demand that you identify yourselves." The general shouted.

Then suddenly the side of the flying ship opened a large compartment and five figures walked out.

Shin Jiao, Olivia Anis Merl, Hua Xiao, Ansen Wine, and Im Ao walked out of the ship and stood in front of the large army.

"Good day! I am Master Shin Jiao the proprietor of this merchant ship… and this here, are my companions." Shin Jiao said while he curtsied towards General Bal Tris.

"I am Olivia Anis Merl…" Olivia said with a beautiful smile.

When the general heard her name, his expression immediately changed. He did not expect that the Viscount daughter would be among the merchant group. How could he not be surprised?

However, the general has been in his position for a long time, so how could he easily believe such words. He has not seen what the Viscount daughter looks like, so he looks at her with suspicion after that surprise.

Olivia knew that this would happen, so she raised the token in her hand and showed it to them. The token emits a low light which signifies that the holder is truly that of a descendant of the Viscount.

When the general saw this, he immediately knew that this woman is the real thing. But what he did not expect is that the woman which hides from the public is actually a nation toppling beauty. So how could he be not surprised?

Many rumors actually circulated within the Main Arjing city and its vicinity that the doted daughter of the Viscount actually has a hideous appearance. But who would have known that the rumors are actually wrong?

The general also noticed another woman which is far more attractive than the Viscount daughter and this made him feel a bit of a shock.

"This group… are they really just merchants?" he thought, but did not linger to this as he decided to guide these people in the town.

Shin Jiao saw that on top of the town wall, there are many people looking in the direction of the ship. Their expression is that of excitement and delight.

With Shin Jiao's vision, the 500 meters distance is only like a few meters and he could clearly see those people.

"It seems that our fame has spread until this part." Shin Jiao said with a smile.

Im Ao, holding his hand like the child he is, has a look of excitement in his eyes. He begged Shin Jiao to come with him as the kid was bored staying on the ship. Since he did not have anything to do and felt that the kid could also take a stroll, Shin Jiao agreed.

Ansen Wine also requested to go with them which totally surprised Shin Jiao. This man seems to have lessened his animosity for this couple of days and always stays in the ship's research area. He has been helping the mages and learning about mages and their ability.

He also noticed that Ansen Wine has built his own foundation and has created a mana core in his body. He is the second person to be able to do this.

On this trip, he carries with him a standard Rifle Staff on his back.

The general gestured for his men to give the group 4 steeds. The 500 soldiers with the general set up camp within the perimeter of the ship.

This is just for precaution as the general truly did not trust this group yet.

Soon the group enters the town which gained more attention from its citizen. Shin Jiao could tell that these people seem to be excited rather than curious. He knew that some of them might have heard of their merchant group.

Then they were met with a tall man wearing a noble's clothes.

"Welcome! Welcome! I am the Town's head, Groom Xial. I assume that you are from the Mystique Shop merchant?" the man greeted.

Shin Jiao nodded his head as he dismounts from the stead with Im Ao.

"I am Shin Jiao the owner, thank you for your welcome, Mayor… I mean Town Head." Shin Jiao greeted.

Groom Xial showed a hint of confusion but still smiled. He is a bit excited right now after seeing that large flying ship. He too is well aware of the novel things that the ship will be bringing upon entering his town.

"It seems that the mayor is aware of our purpose in your town, so this would be easier then. These two are my people who are assigned to negotiating. And here is a special guest to your town…" Shin Jiao pointed at the people behind him.

The Town Head was a bit confused, but feel a bit elated upon seeing the handsome and beautiful people that Shin Jiao pointed at.

However, his expression suddenly stiffens and his eyes backtrack upon seeing one of the young women. Then he suddenly showed a frozen expression.

How could he not be? He is clearly aware of whom that beautiful face belongs to. But how, how could she look very different now? What happened?

Before he could recover, the young woman showed a faint smile.

"Uncle Groom, it has been a long time.. It seems that you still could recognize me… Hihi…" Olivia said with a chuckle.
