Both Phillip and Bhram walked up to the stone platform and placed the space crystal and a light flashed.
After a bright light flash cleared Bhram found himself standing on an elevated platform, crowded with people of different races.
He found a few of them similar to the fairytales he heard from his home planet.
'Wove, these people look almost similar to the stone carvings I found' thought Bhram when he looked at a female, who looked like a human but had pale skin and a pair of horns growing from her forehead.
"Don't look at them for too long, they are a part of the pixy race, they considered themselves as the first race born in the universe (well not proven) and are very proud beings. They are not in a friendly relationship with humans" said Phillip as he dragged Bhram and walked out of the crowd.
"This planet is called the 'Pyramid Hub'. The planet is situated in a star system that resembles a pyramid and is the only plane with life as the reaming 3 planets act as the moons of this planet and the sun is similar to the blue giant from which you have come so the gravity and stuff is similar to your home planet"
"Why a Hub?" asked Bhram
"You see this is the closest life star to the Imperial Court gate and all the low-level civilizations in this domain all arrive here to trade or to do business with the Imperial court… so it's like a hub for the Imperial court younger generation royals to hang out and experience life under the surveillances of the Court elders"
While Phillip explained, Bhram was observing the wonders of the new planet. When he looked at the sky, he saw a blue light followed by the 3 moons shadows in the day sky.
There were multiple flying things in the air, some were people with wings and some were objects of different shapes and sizes zooming in and around. It looked like a well-choreographed dance routine.
While they were walking around, Bhram saw a few words suspended in mid-air and looked like someone wrote them in the sky using the white clouds ink.
It read "ECO- City"
"This city is said to be established by a very powerful elder from the court, and it's said that his cultivation is based on sound and illusions and to honor him his descendants named it as ECO- city"
"Now the current city lord is from the Ga family, and it's said that he favors the human race relatively well compared to the other royal families. So this city should be safe for you to stay, but it's very expensive. I suggest that you live nearby the city, there are a few small towns nearby, and I won't have enough time to settle you in as I have other tasks to do." Said Phillip with an apologetic look on his face.
"First, I will introduce you to a friend of mine. He will help you to look for a suitable place to stay and then I will take you to human society. You can try searching for a suitable job to start a new life"
After that Phillip flipped his palm and took out a glass sphere, it looked like a marble made of fragile glass.
"Get in !" Phillip said as he tossed the marble-like object on the ground.
The object started growing in size until it reached 10 feet in dia. The marble started glowing and Bhram found himself inside a room with a pair of chairs/sofa and a huge window.
Bhram was looking around when Phillip approached the window and touched.
[Destination]! Said a robotic voice.
"Sector-7 South of Human Civil court," said Phillip.
After a few seconds, Bhram felt like he was floating and he couldn't stand straight, as there was some kind of turbulence.
Bhram sat on a sofa and observed the window and then at Phillip.
"This is called a travel orb; it can travel faster than a flying boat and slower than a flying car and train. It's one of the many convene aces of transportation on a planet, this is my travel orb called 'Ali-X1' it can accommodate up to 4 people and some storage, it nearly cost me my entire years pay"
"Yes, Sir.Phillip. I almost forgot how is the value of currency here?. On our home planet, we use silver, copper, and Gold. 1000 Copper coin = 1 Silver coin; 50 Silver coin = 1 g Gold Coin"
"Hm its also the same here, but as the level of the civilization increases there is an involvement of extra currencies to it and with some rules i.e., No one can buy silver from copper and Gold from silver and it's only meant for people in civilizations below Level-3 and people from Level-3 onwards pay with Star Coin only; 1000 kg of Gold = 10 Star coins and in the imperial court all business are made with Royal grade Star coins or RGSc they cost 100000-star coins"
"I get paid 1 Star coin a month"
'FUCK my lord' thought Bhram
'At home, even the kings had less than 100 kg gold and this thing costs more than 1000 kg gold' thought Bhram.
"Well kid, don't be shocked. All the gold you use is mostly by-products of a star coin and you will know more about it at the Human society" Phillip said after he saw the shocked look on Bhram.
