[157th day]
Every morning, Marco would stand in front of where the church was being built to sing hymns that he composed himself.
The citizens of Heaven Blaze city listened to his melodious voice as the other fellow
"Lord Marco's voice was like an angel's!"
"I know right!"
As he sang while using the megaphone, those who listened felt rejuvenated and bursting with energy.
"Master, there is one... about five hundred meters at nine o' clock"
"Good"
With Veronica's sharp senses as navigation, Tony has been hunting relentlessly in order to complete the requirements in order to increase his level.
"There it is..."
Veronica softly said as they saw a eight legged beast.
From a distance of approximately a hundred meters, he begun to coat the arrow with his energy.
"....."
His concentration was focused on his arrow and his target.
Bam!
The arrow that was fired, enhanced with his divine energy, pierced the head of the beast.
[Congratualations]
[You have completed the requirments needed to raise your level]
[Level evolution will now begin]
"Please check on the surroundings for me"
"Understood, master"
A faint green light covered Tony as his level evolution started.
Using the technique he and the others learned from a book they bought from the
"Hmm?"
Veronica's ears went up as she heard a faint sound.
"Tsk!"
With the duty of protecting her creator, she could not leave her place to check what the sound was and could only ready herself for battle.
She pulled out her gun with her left hand and unsheathed her dagger with her right hand.
"Who are you?"
"....."
"Do not bother hiding your presence in front of me. I am sure you can tell already that I came from the beast kin who possess abnormal level of sensory ability"
".... I apologize for that"
Lenyas appeared with her guards.
"I felt a fellow soul artist like me was around the area. May I know your name?"
Lenyas' guards raised their weapons in case something dangerous happens.
"I am Veronica. The one behind me is my creator, Sir Tony LeBlanc"
"Creator....?"
Lenyas then remembered the same phrase from someone she met.
"By any chance... are you and your master from Heaven Blaze city?"
"That is right. May I ask how you know that?"
"I am Lenyas Horulas, a business partner of sir Marco from the demi human kingdom"
".....!"
Hearing her name, Veronica became sure that she is the person who Marco told them about who will arrive in their city sooner or later.
"If you are Lady Lenyas... can you tell me who is the most important person in our city?"
"... That would be the one whose name is Charlie. Did I get it right?"
Veronica bowed.
"You have. Please excuse my rudeness, however...."
Veronica turned back and looked at Tony.
"As you can see, my master is still busy and may take him a few more hours to finish. Since you are here to talk with Sir Marco, I ask you to go on your way as your presence may disturb my master"
"We will. As a fellow soul artist, I can understand how important it is for someone who is going through enligthenment, so there is no need to act like that"
After bowing once, Lenyas and her guards went back to her company to head forth to Heaven Blaze city.
...
"Lady, do you perhaps see what I am seeing?"
"I do. With that said, there is no need to worry if you are under an illusion since I am sure everyone here are seeing the same thing"
Lenyas and co. stopped as they saw the big dome of a barrier and the opressing feeling coming from within.
Olad then appeared.
"May I ask who you people are?"
".....!"
Startled, some of Lenyas' underlings fell down.
"You must be sir Olad who is in charge of supervision in the city"
"I am! Since you know who I am despite me not having any record of you... you must be lady Lenyas who that sir Marco talked about.
Please wait here as I will inform sir Marco"
"I will. Thank you very much"
Just as he abruptly appeared in front of them, he vanished without as much of a trace which left them all speechless.
"Be sure to be in your best behaviour while we are inside. As we do not know what may be waiting for us"
"Understood, lady Lenyas"
Her entrouage replied.
A few minutes later, Marco came running to escort the guests of the city.
"Olad, register them and create a temporary identity for each of them"
"Understood. Please state your names"
"....."
Lenyas looked worriedly at Marco. He then replied with a smile as he gestured to go along with the hologram.
"Lenyas... My name is Lenyas Horulas"
"Identification complete. Next!"
They then stated their name one by one after their lady.
"Now that we are done with that, let's go. It is not much so I hope you all will not mind the dirt"
They all hesitantly touched the barrier. After their hands went through, they walked in feeling light and refreshed from the concentration of mana in the air.
"The residential area is over there. We are planning on building the market over there. The workshops are located over there by the forest. The farm is near the river!"
"Sir Marco... can I ask something?"
"What is it?"
"What... are they doing?"
Lenyas pointed towards a group of demi humans who were planking.
"Oh them...?"
Marco and the rest stopped as they looked at the demi humans.
"We are training them as our soldiers. This is a part of their basic training"
"..... Basic?"
Lenyas and the other demi humans who are not accustomed nor are knowledgeable about this method of training felt sympathy for the demi humans in front of them who were trembling from exhaustion and sweating all over.
They could only watched from their position and imagine how it would feel like to do what they were doing.
"Milady! Look!"
Lenyas' maidservant, Guli, pointed towards the magic tower.
"There... there is a magic tower master here?"
Lenyas asked, unsure of her own words.
"Well, technically speaking, yes. Aldo is the master of that magic tower. He is also, mostly responsible, for everything else you are seeing here"
The smooth road, the sturdy houses and workshops, the street lamps, the golems working around, and everything else now made sense to Lenyas and her entrouage.
"The master... of that magic tower must be... the one named Charlie!!!"
Lenyas thought as they continued on their walk.
They then arrived at the eastern side of the castle where an inn was bought from the
"This is where you will be staying for now. I am sure that the journey here was long and tiring. I advice you to take a rest for today if you want to take tour around the city"
"We will. Thank you very much for your company, sir Marco"
"It was my honor, lady Lenyas"
After bidding farewell, Lenyas and her entrouage entered the inn.
"What smooth floor"
"I can smell a... woody and fresh scent in the air"
"It's so clean that I can see my relfection as if its a mirror!"
The demi humans exclaimed with excitement.
"Good afternoon, my name is Dana. I am the inn keeper that is reserved for the city's important guest. If you have any question, I will do my best to answer it for you"
Dana bowed as she greeted them.
"My colleagues will be showing your workers and guards' room while I will show you to your room, my lady"
Lenyas' underlings looked at her, waiting for an answer. She then nodded, telling them to trust the people in front of them.
"My name is Haxon"
"I am Fredercik. Please follow us to show you to your designated rooms"
Haxon and Frederick assisted Lenyas' servants and most of her guards while Lenyas and her two personal guards followed Dana.
Each part of the inn amazed them as they felt they were inside some palace of a royal.
"This will be your room during your stay here, my lady"
Dana entered the room and showed them the luxurious room that is comparable to most four star hotels back in Marco's world.
"Please follow me. There is still one more thing I have to show you, my lady"
".....?"
Confused, Lenyas and her guards decided to follow along.
"This is the bath room. And this is the toilet"
"That thing... is the toilet?"
The three looked at the white and shiny bowl with warriness in their eyes.
"Yes. I am sure you are unsure of this, so allow me to show you, my lady"
After wearing a glove, Dana lifted the cover and showed them the inside.
"This little lever like thing is what you will use once you are done"
Swish!
The toilet bowl flushed, leaving the three amazed in bewilderment.
"This hose on the other hand is called a bidet, and is use to clean ourselves while we use the toilet"
She showed them how the bidet worked, leaving the three in amazement once again.
"What... is that thing made of?"
One of the knights asked.
"From what I know, this thing is made from 'plastic' which only tower master Aldo can create"
"Aldo? Not Charlie?"
Dana's eyes squinted as she heard Lenyas' question.
"I am sorry but there seems to be a misunderstanding. Lord Aldo Achterberg is the tower master of the magic tower. While lord Charlie Adamski is the minister of Foregin Affairs"
As she heard Dana's answer, Lenyas then thought "There is someone who is more important than a tower master?"
As she saw the genuine confusion on Dana's face, she could tell that she was not lying.
"Thank you for the guide. That will be all for now"
"Understood. Please do not hesitate to call for me if there is anything I can help with, my lady"
After gracefully bowing towards them, Dana quietly left the room.
"This city that is still being built... I think their technology has already surpassed half of the countries around the world"
One of the guards said with certainty.
"Maybe the magic tower master is someone of high status from the Magic Kingdom of Voxaklerion"
One of the guards said with curiosity.
"None of that matter right now. For now, we are here in order to- Huh?"
Lenyas who tried to sit down on the bed felt a relaxing sensation like no other.
"Sit. Sit on the bed right now!"
"....."
The knights sat down as they were ordered to and felt the same exact sensation Lenyas felt.
"This... this is heaven on earth!!!"
All kinds of ideas flashed through Lenyas' mind, thinking of what would be the best way to utilize this 'Bed of the Gods' in the market world.
