The Absolute: Humanity's Second Chance

Chapter 162 Towards Norland II

Representatives.

Beings who move about representing the will of their superiors, sending out messages or warnings. They were considered as such in this age of humanity.

And in most cases, representatives are relatives of powerful noble families, or the royal family, that work under the king, or the city lord.

With their power, they could better control the target of their purpose, or better represent their superior.

Yet they not only carry their influence and power, but a sign from their superior, that temporarily grants them power above everyone, and below said superior.

A decree, for example.

Such was a representative. But there were also cases, where the representative was no being of power or influence, but a loyal follower instead.

Adonis' case was almost, similar.

Ninth was not the relative, or descendant of a powerful family. Her status as being the Ninth ranked Gray was useless here, thus making her current influence and power null.

Even if she was somehow related to the Silver household, her power was not that significant, as they were currently merely barons.

The reason he chose her was because of her speed. Nine, like most Gray House members, was a Grand Master Professionists. And even amongst her peers, she was insanely fast thanks to her Class and unique skills.

She could cover the whole of Avarice within a short period. A week was more than enough. 'Unfortunately, with her status, those nobles won't be obedient...' Adonis sighed to himself.

But Ninth nodded at his request, as she took out a silver medal the shape of a nonagon, with a star at each end, and a capital "S" at the center.

This was the symbol of the house of Silver, that Damien and Juliette made known to the public during the banquet held.

"I will be okay. My identity has been upgraded. I am not just the personal maid of the city lord, I am also the younger sister of Lord Silver. My name from now on is Keyara Silver. Pleasure to meet you, my lord." Ninth said, slightly bowing her head at him.

Such a behavior shocked Adonis. Especially as it was sudden, and coming from a bona-fide killer like her.

"...It's... It's my pleasure to meet you, Miss Keyara." Adonis took a while to respond, but still responded nonetheless. 'An alias, huh?'

"Please call me Keyara, my lord. Otherwise my identity will not fit in." Ninth's tone was full of determination, not raising her head still.

This forced Adonis to agree, despite finding it a bit hard. 'Well, at least that's not her real name.' He consoled himself.

[ The shared characteristic of both Domains is :- Ethereal Farmlands(Low-grade Tier 5) ]

[ Domain lord Adonis can choose the location where the Void Gateway will be established. Note. Moving a Void Gateway will require Mana/Divine power that is one thousand times more than the grade of the domain (15+ quadrillion units of Mana), thus think wisely before choosing the location ]

[ Note. For safety precautions, the required land area for a Void Gateway is 25*25 square meters, and mustn't be inhibited by living beings ]

[ Once established, instant transportation between both Void Gateways will be possible. But the amount transportations per day will be limited to 3,000 entries for deific beings (300,000,000 entries for mortals) ]

"...This will be tough." Adonis sighed to himself, as without Damien or Juliette around, he had a lot of homework to deal with.

This was also why he chose to send Ninth out, instead of going himself. Even though it was hasty, and did not follow most of the royal rules, he still sent her out.

After all, he, and apparently Fiona, had a lot of work to do. And three weeks were not enough for all of said work.

"Ah, I guess I should start now." The young city lord took out the map of Avarice, one that detailed the section under the city lord's territory.

The Void Gateway had to be close to him, so he could better manage it himself. And, with this, the Silvers will have yet another means to amass merits. 'After all, I can't better explain how this works, either than blaming it on the mysterious Silver household.'

'Hmm... I guess they'll also need a branch household within Romania as well. Lord Damien said he will sell out books that theorize the workings of Void transportation too. That sells it, then.' A bitter chuckle left his mouth as he thought up to there.

The Silver household... is going to be filthy rich after this. Which noble would not want to get their hands on such top grade information?

'Even father would definitely buy one, let alone my siblings. Hehe, hahaha... this man is amazing. Truly amazing.' He concluded his inner monologue, as he found the perfect location for the Void Gateway.

All that was left, was to initiate its creation.

At the same time, atop the giant walls that separated the Shade Stronghold and the vast expanse of nature, a duo stood unbothered by the chaotic winds.

The wall was over a hundred meters tall, and ten meters thick. Something that took tens of thousands of workers to build, within the span of a couple of decades to finalize.

Even without the fortification of Mana, this wall could probably last a few hits against Advanced Professionists. And now, with Mana included, it could probably defend attacks from Great Master Professionists as well.

Atop this great wonder of humanity, Damien glanced at his sides, at the beautiful woman who stared at the vast expanse of nature before her.

A plain that stretched on for distances so significant, she couldn't fathom crossing through them even as a Grandmaster Professionist. "...The world looks more beautiful at night, doesn't it?" She inquired to herself.

Her words, distantly swimming within the chaotic winds. The softness of her voice not having any special effects whatsoever. "...Mhm. it does." Damien responded.

His gaze moved from Bella, an eldest sister of his, adopted by his parents, and towards the vast expanse of nature before them. A plain so vast, so beautiful, it seemed magical.

"Are you ready?" He inquired, and a response quickly returned to him. "Yes. I've said my farewells to the young lady, and left her a message. She should be moving towards the first candidate's city."
