Chapter 524 Climbing the Skytree
Sakura Skytree Tower, Lythari Vandor Park, Sakura City.
After Theo and the others passed through the security check, they entered the train that would transport them to the entrance of the tower.
Although there were some attractions in the park as well, they were more eager to visit the tower.
Just as expected, the train was filled with tourists avid to visit the tower.
There were people from all over the world.
Theo and the others saw people from the Pangu Country, Bald Eagle Country, Katon Country, and many other countries.
These people had come to Sakura City mostly to visit the Sakura Skytree Tower.
It didn't take too long for the train to stop at the tower entrance, and as soon as they exited the train they saw a crowd of people coming and going from the gigantic doors.
The building was built just like a tree, so at that moment, they were beneath one of the tree's roots.
"Wow!"
"It is so majestic!" "I saw pictures of it online, but seeing with my eyes I can say for sure that this place is much more awesome than I imagined." Max commented.
"I feel like I traveled into the future."
"It is so weird! Just a few minutes ago we were in ancient times, but now I feel like we are in a futuristic scenario."
"That's so true!"
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"We should take pictures!"
"..."
In such a way, they didn't waste much more time before starting to take pictures.
But they didn't overdo it as they wanted to get into the building as soon as possible.
After they were satisfied with the pictures they took, they immediately headed into the building.
Everyone was fascinated by what they saw as they entered the ground floor of the tower.
Everything was made of wood as if the place was indeed a tree and the builders had to carve this place out of the wood.
It really seemed like a wood castle from the elves!
Every decoration was placed to enhance this concept even more, so it wasn't a surprise that they felt like they were in an elvish fairy tale.
Another thing that shocked them was the size of the place. The ground floor was so massive that they couldn't even see everything of it. The whole place was even bigger than a football stadium.
Which made the decorations look even more magical.
The size and looks of the place were so breathtaking that everyone was speechless for a few seconds after they entered.
They were a little lost on what to do, but after a while, one of them remembered to take pictures of the place and the others followed suit.
Tens of pictures later, Aurora said, "Where should we go first?" Aurora asked with shining eyes.
Everyone looked at Ayia, Shizuka, and Kaori to know their opinion. The three of them were locals, so they knew what places would be the most fun to visit.
As they had limited time, they had to be wise in their choices of where to go. The tower was too big for them to visit every place in it in just one day.
"How about we head toward the upmost floor?" Kaori suggested.
"Yeah, because the top floor is too high, we have to go through some preparation to visit it. That's why we should go there first." Shizuka commented.
The others promptly agreed with their suggestion, they were dying to see how the view looked from so high in the sky.
Therefore, they immediately headed to the place where they could apply to visit the top floor.
Because every tourist had the same idea as them, they had to face a line to make their application.
Everyone in the like had the same look of anticipation and nervousness.
Anticipation to look at the amazing view, and nervousness because they would be too high in the sky.
After waiting for around 10 minutes, it was finally their turn.
To visit the top floor, they had to sign some safety terms and pay a fee of 5 dollars.
After they resolved these things, they were guided to a side room where other visitors were also waiting.
It was there that they were introduced to the safety measures that they had to adopt during their visit to the top floor.
The instructor made sure that everyone remembered everything, and it was only after everyone was aware of the safety measure that they were able to finally climb the tower.
They would climb through a special elevator specially designed to decrease the effects of the sudden increase in height.
When someone climbs too high in the sky, it is normal for people to feel all kinds of symptoms like shortness of breath, an increase in blood pressure, and others.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThis elevator was capable of decreasing these effects.
Another technology developed by the Sakura Abode Country.
The elevator was capable of taking 25 visitors and 5 tower employees at a time, and it took 30 minutes for the elevator to climb to the top floor from the ground floor. It may sound like a long time, but it took more time because it was one of the safety measures adopted. They couldn't climb too fast or the passengers would feel sick.
Plus, the elevator doors were made of glass, so they were able to observe the city as they climbed through the sky tree. It was an amazing and towering experience.
And there wasn't only one elevator of this kind in the tower.
That's why Theo and the others didn't have to wait for too long for their turn on the elevator.
Shortly after, they were slowly climbing the tower.
Through the elevator doors, they were able to observe Sakura City as they climbed the tower little by little.
Some of them took pictures and others recorded videos, but everyone was amazed by the view in front of them.
At a certain moment, they were so high in the sky that they didn't see any other building in the city that had the same height as they were at that moment.
It was only then that they realized how tall the Skytree was compared with the other city buildings.
But even then, the elevator didn't stop climbing the tower.
When they reached over 1000 meters in height, some of them got too scared to look outside so they closed their eyes.
But that wasn't even half of the tower's height!
For the next 15 minutes, they climbed the second half of the tower and it was a thrilling and mortifying experience even for the fearless among them.
At a certain moment, they felt like they were so high in the sky that they would leave the planet if they climbed just a few more meters.
Everyone's hearts pounded through their chests as they looked at the view beneath them.
At that moment, they were at the top of the world!
