Thud!
I landed on the ground in front of the massive black stone gates and walked toward it. There were big lines, but I didn't follow any.
I am masquerading myself as the Sky Sovereign. It is a risk, but I need to take it to secure the ride.
"Have a nice visit, Sky Sovereign," said the Guard, and I nodded my thanks before walking inside.
This is a Roril City; one of the biggest ones, I have visited. It is the seventh biggest city in the Tamidas organization. A prime-grade organization and famous for many things, but most important of all savant current.
A powerful air currently appears over the city six times a year. It lasts for three to six hours. This current is used to travel a long distances with specially made airships.
This is no normal air current, but one of the ones with spatial power. It is like the spatial surf of Prime, but more dangerous.
If the airship wasn't able to hold under it. It will be crushed, and everyone inside won't survive; even the Sky Sovereigns are no exception.
The risk is worth it, seeing I would be completing months of travel within days.
However, all the seats have been booked. There is a decade-long line. I cannot wait for the decade.
It is why, I am taking a shortcut.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtI am not going there immediately. The meeting isn't up till the evening, and it is still the morning. So, I went to one of the most expensive hotels, that offers great privacy and booked a home.
If I am successful, I will be here for six days. If not, then I will leave in the next few days; hope that doesn't happen.
"Welcome to the verdant valley, Sky Sovereign. I am Elys, how can I help you?" asked the elf woman as I entered the office. She is a tall woman, who looks to be in her early forties, with green hair, green eyes, with cheekbones that people will sell their soul for.
"I need an abode for seven days," I said to her. "Certainly, sir. What are your requirements?" She asked.
"Privacy. I don't care about the size of the abode. I want something, that will give me maximum privacy," I replied.
"Most of our ultra-private abodes have been booked, thanks to the current rush, but we do have one," she said and a projection of it appeared.
"I'll take it," I said.
A few minutes later, I appeared in front of it. It is a wooden lodge by the stream. Around me there were nothing but verdant hills and the closest abode, I could see was quite far.
There is a protective formation at its boundary. If anyone wants to come near, they will have to take my permission.
The lodge is bigger than I liked, but smaller than the many options they have. There is no staff, as I rejected it all.
Click!
I entered the lodge and immediately felt the refreshing feeling. The whole lodge is made from ryto trees. The feeling is powerful enough that made even Sky Sovereigns pleased.
It is for the Sky Sovereigns.
I looked around, before laying on the bed, while my soul sense infiltrated the formation.
It was good, and I was relieved that nobody was spying on me. Still, I did a little tinkering, nothing too big.
Just enough, to alert me if someone tried to spy on me.
I opened my eyes in the evening, freshened up, and ate before walking out of the lodge. A few minutes later, I reached my destination; a huge palatial with a massive garden around it.
It is a beautiful palace made of marble white stones.
"Sky Sovereigns, August, please follow me," said the middle-
aged stone-skinned man waiting by me at the door.
He is powerful and seems to practice the method that provides him with exuberant vitality. It is such that he was barely able to contain it.
I followed him, keeping my gait confident. Too confident; I could see it was irritating him, seeing me not acknowledge him. I feel bad, but I had chosen this persona carefully, and I need to keep it.
Soon, we reached the parlor.
"Please take a seat, Sky Sovereign. My lord will meet you shortly," he said and walked out.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmI sat down and waited, looking around at the beautiful parlor.
I wanted to spread my soul sense to look around, but that would be too rude.
An hour passed, but the man didn't come. I truly felt irritated now. The meeting time was an hour ago, but the man had yet to come.
I was thinking of doing something when I sensed the aura and a moment later. The man has a violet skin with a gem on the temple, stepped into the parlor.
His name is Trian Harzon, leader of Roril.
He is not alone, beside him are two women, one is Sky Sovereigns. She also is a Peak Sky Sovereign, like him, and she feels a little stronger than him.
She is human. Though not a pure one, she had thorny lines moving across her. They are not tattoos or methods.
They were biological, and it made her look quite exotic.
If I am wrong, is Karlis Sky, the Sky Sovereign of Tamidas. The information says that she styes at Tamidas.
However, I am more focused on the young woman beside her. She is a beastwomen Lynx tribe. She had night-black fur and blue eyes; those blue irises seemed to hold the ocean on them.
She is a very beautiful woman.
She is Earth Sovereign but didn't look good. She is pale and her aura isn't stable. I don't know who she is, but seeing the body language of two women, they are clearly partners.
"You are late, Sky Sovereign Harzon," I said, with clear irritation in my voice. I didn't even get up to greet them.
"I was busy with some other business," he replied without a hint of apology, and sat in front of me with two women.
