We didn't get very far before we were stopped by a group of people.
I was about to summon Cygnus, Aquila and Pegasus to help fery the four of us from Jing Tian City to Troy (both the city and my friend himself), but unexpectedly a huge truck pulled up before us. It was a military-styled five-tonner, the kind I used to see back when I was serving mandatory national service in my previous life.
Except that it had hover-jets instead of wheels…because, well, this was one thousand years into the future, and people love hover-vehicles in futuristic sci-fi settings.
A lady in the passenger seat poked her head out of the window and waved at us.
"You guys are Troy's friends, aren't you?" she called out. "Hop on! We're gong to Troy City right now!"
"Kureha?" my jaw dropped when I realized that I recognized the fair-haired girl. The Sword Saint of the Franklin family waved in a friendly manner.
