The Geared Immortal

Chapter 945

(Unedited)

…

The group left the restaurant and immediately contacted the rest of their companions. They would meet in Zepa city and wait for the celebration of Gwendolyn's marriage then leave for the Capital City.

However, since Shin Jiao has a different face, he decided to travel alone to Capital City to know its true condition.

In the meantime, Nariz Gumal has already entered the inner kingdom and takes out a small flying ship from the space warehouse and flew directly to Zepa City where the group has decided to meet.

Shin Jiao left earlier than the group.

"All aboard, the ship is about to depart!" the conductor shouted as Shin Jiao carefully looks for his seat on the large ship.

The flying ship looks like a large sea vessel that could fit more than 300 people. It is made of a sturdy yet a light material combination of wood and steel. From what he could tell, the craftsmanship of this flying vessel is already top-notch.

Shin Jiao open the cabin compartment and saw that there are already three people inside. Each cabin compartment could accommodate four people and large baggage compartments above each seat.

Inside the cabin compartment are two women and a handsome young man. The handsome young man is trying to show off something at the two young women who showed interest.

From one look, Shin Jiao could tell that the young man is a 2nd level mage and one of the young women is a 1st level mage.

They seem to be students of some school for the mages.

When Shin Jiao appears, the expressions of the two young women changed as their eyes seem to suddenly glow with interest. However, this did not sit well with the young man. He was getting this chance to hit on these beauties which belong to one of the top mage schools in the Capital City.

From the robe of these two young women, he could tell that they belong to Alto Magus Academy, one of the top 3 mage academies in the kingdom.

Those who can enter the academy are either geniuses in magic, or have the backing of a great noble behind them.

After introducing himself as someone from Mu City who belongs to one of the noble clans in the city, he learned that the two young women are from Central City and came to Zepa city to explore the most advanced city in the kingdom.

Many nobles have been visiting Zepa city ever since it became lively again. And now it became a favorite vacation place for the nobles in the capital.

The young man, Meda Tao, is a 23-year-old mage that has been accepted to Jewel Fire Academy. Though it is not that famous like the Alto Magus Academy, it still is a good mage academy from the Capital.

"Hello, I'm Ji Yaolin… And this is my best friend, Ting Fanwan…" the beautiful woman sitting near the door greeted Shin Jiao.

Shin Jiao nodded his head.

"And that is Mage Meda Tao…" the young woman added.

Shin Jiao looks at the young man and also nodded his head. The young man on the other showed a sneer on his face and just lifted his brow.

"You're not a mage… so this seat would not be yours, right?" the young man said as he looks at Shin Jiao and his simple robe.

"Hmm… I paid for the seat, so it is mine, I presume…" Shin Jiao said without any expression.

He did not mind the guy and just enters the room, then he sits beside the young man who is now showing displeasure in his eyes.

After sitting, Shin Jiao did not bother with the man and just folded his hands and closed his eyes.

He checks the amount of energy in his dantian and nodded deep inside in contentment as he could see that there are no leaking happening. However, right now, he could not use any mana as all of the mana is being used to prevent the universe energy in his dantian to dissipate.

So he could only rely on the gears in his body. When flying from the secret cave to Zepa City he can only use the power of the breastplate.

Seeing that Shin Jiao seem to be not interested in conversing with them, the two young beauties felt a bit dejected not being able to talk to the handsome young man. But the young man is in favor of this. The more he could interact with the girls the more he could have his chances with them.

He suddenly showed a flat object which looks like a small laptop and put it on the table. When the two young women saw this, their eyes suddenly glowed with interest.

"This… is... This is the new item from the Mystique Shop. I think they call it… 'Computer' or something…" the friendly Ji Yaolin said with a happy tone.

"Yes, you are right… I bought this a while back in Mu City."

"Really, I bet it cost a lot of mana stones…" the quiet Ting Fanwan asked with interest.

"Well, it's not that much… just around 20 mana stones… Hehe…" the young man said proudly.

Hearing his words, an expression of astonishment and envy could be seen in the eyes of the two young women. However, the young man took a glance at Shin Jiao wanting to see his reaction. But just like as usual, he has his eyes closed.

"Alright, pretend… Just pretend that you did not know anything." The young man thought as he sneered.

He carefully opens the lid of the laptop-like object and then pushes the power on button. The system started and soon displays the screen.

The system of the computer is like that of an android phone. So it is easy for many to understand how it works.

He began showing the two women the feature of the electronic device which made the two feel excited.

He closes the window curtains which made the whole cabin a bit dark. Then he suddenly opens the video folder and touches the screen where a movie file is.

Playing the movie file, the two women excitedly watch the small screen. Then the young man takes out a small orb then puts it on the screen. The orb then acted like a projector which absorbed the image on the screen and projected it on the closed window curtain.

Now a huge screen was projected on the window as the movie began playing.

The two young women excitedly watch as the video plays. Unknown to the group inside the cabin, a large group of people are already gathering just outside as they watch through the window of the cabin.

Shin Jiao, on the other hand, did not bother with this as he just slowly fell asleep.

As the flying ship began to hover in the air, many people have already walked out of their cabin to the deck of the ship.

Many mages did not have the ability to fly and seeing the ship slowly floating made them feel excited. Though they have experienced this, a couple of times already, yet the feeling is really something that can make one feels excited.

"Zepa City monitoring tower, we have lift off…" the captain of the ship said as he sits on the ship's bridge looking at the busy people around him.

The flying vessel began inching forwards as it began to accelerate.

"Activate the ship's primary barrier…" the captain said after the ship began to accelerate.

"Activate Deck secondary barrier…"

The people on the deck suddenly feel a thin invisible film appearing on the deck. This barrier would stop anything that has enough force to hurt a normal person.

Though it is only a basic barrier, it is already enough to ensure the safety of the people on the ship.

As the ship begins to accelerate, the people on the deck looks ahead and many waved their hands in the air to say goodbye to the people below.

Soon the height of the ship is already around 1,000 kilometers above ground. And it is already traveling at its full speed which is around 80 km per hour.

Though it is not that fast, yet this is the safest speed to ensure the safety of everyone on board.

The air in the inner kingdom is not that safe. There are many beasts that could fly and would sometimes attack the flying vessel. The maximum speed that the ship could go is around 300 km per hour. But at this speed, once they encounter a beast, then it would become dangerous if a collision happened.

So only by escaping would they use the fastest speed of the ship. But when traveling, the ship would use the safest speed, which is already enough to escape any beast from chasing after them.

Two hours after the ship has traveled safely. Shin Jiao's eyes suddenly opened.

The reason for this is because he senses something dangerous coming towards them.

His reaction made the three people around him feel a bit surprised.

Shin Jiao did not bother with the three and just quickly stands up and walks out of the cabin where many made way for him.
