Lord: Sequence Overlord

Chapter 39 Blazing Shadow Royal City
Chapter 39

At Blackstone Harbor train station, Rosen boarded a steam train amidst the crowd, holding his ticket.

He bought a ticket for the VIP carriage, which was quite conspicuous.

However, not buying a VIP ticket would be more conspicuous, because his identification document is a heraldic document exclusive to nobles, and using a heraldic document to buy an ordinary ticket would attract more attention.

So after weighing the pros and cons, he still chose to buy a ticket for the VIP carriage.

Before buying the ticket, Rosen tried again to enter the mysterious study from a mobile vehicle.

Just like when taking a train, the means of transportation left, but the mysterious study remained in the same place and did not leave with them.

However, the mysterious study he opened in the Black Shark's cabin was moving in sync with the Black Shark in the sea, which means that the spatial location of the mysterious study was not fixed. But why can the pirate ship do it but the train can't?

After much thought, Rosen concluded that there was only one possibility: the Black Shark was Captain Black Shark's extraordinary vehicle.

Steam trains and other modes of transportation are alchemical vehicles. Although they are also a type of extraordinary vehicle, they are not ridden by knights. If it were a train that could travel in the spirit world and was ridden by knights, the Mysterious Study might also be spatially displaced along with it.

This is just Rosen's analysis based on his own understanding, and further verification is needed to prove its authenticity.

Sitting in the sleeper compartment of the VIP carriage, Rosen was somewhat nervous.

Although Viscount Redstone doesn't wield much influence in Blackrock Harbor, the forces behind the Black Shark certainly hold a high position there. If they knew that a passenger who entered the Spirit Realm had come out alive, the feud between the two sides would be irreconcilable.

Of course, Rosen wasn't too worried, because even if he stood in front of the crew of the Black Shark, he might not be recognized.

Because he purchased the Black Shark ticket through the tavern, the Black Shark only knew that he was a Hunter, and a Hunter could not be a noble unless he reached Sequence 6. What does the Black Shark's Sequence 9 Hunter have to do with his Sequence 9 Painter from Redstone City?
The aristocratic carriages have both a sound-absorbing alchemical array and a shock-absorbing alchemical array.

So Rosen didn't hear the roar of the steam train until it left the station.

As he watched Blackstone Harbor recede into the distance outside the window, and as the view outside was obscured by ashes, Rosen was filled with anticipation for the future.

Everything in this other world was strange and wonderful to Rosen, who had traveled there.

Little Rosen had never left Redstone City. In addition, Rosen had been hiding all the time since his transmigration. Now that he was finally away from the strife and no longer had to hide, Rosen, driven by curiosity, decided to walk around on the steam train.

There aren't many places to move around in; it's mostly just the dining car and the scenic carriages.

The dining car was a buffet. Lawson took a walk around the dining car and had to admit that the food was really good. There were many unique ingredients from different cities, all freshly purchased and prepared along the steam train route. Since the meal cost was included in the ticket price, he figured he might as well eat it.

After eating and drinking his fill, Rosen leisurely made his way to the observation carriage.

Everything outside the city is covered in ash. Not to mention that ordinary people never have the chance to leave the city and see the world outside, even superhumans would not casually cross the ash zone outside the city. Therefore, many people are full of curiosity about the world outside the city.

The scenic carriages feature unique, extraordinary telescopes that can penetrate fog over a kilometer to see the scenery along the way.

Therefore, many passengers in the luxury carriages choose to come to the scenic carriages to satisfy their curiosity.

Rosen was no exception. He rented an extraordinary telescope, weighing several tons and resembling an astronomical telescope, for a price higher than the train ticket. When he brought his eyes close to the lens, he felt as if he were observing his surroundings with the naked eye from a kilometer away. As the steam train continued to move forward, Rosen saw mountains, lakes, jungles, and abandoned villages and farmlands.

He also saw a considerable number of ash creatures, but these ash creatures did not seem to approach the railway tracks. The bizarre ash creatures created various ecological environments in the world of ash.

An hour passed quickly, and it was time for Rosen to use the extraordinary telescope.

He reluctantly left the extraordinary telescope, knowing that once he was strong enough, he would definitely venture into the Ash World. This was the destiny of all extraordinary sequences: to hunt Ash creatures and purify the human world. This was almost the lifelong fate of extraordinary sequences below Sequence 6.

Only those who reach Sequence 6 or above are qualified to venture to the borders of the human world to expand their territory.

Most of the materials for potions above Sequence 7 cannot be artificially cultivated.

Therefore, many potion ingredients are difficult to regenerate. In the tens of thousands of years since the birth of the World Government, the vast majority of high-level potion ingredients in the human realm have either been exhausted or occupied by various nobles. Once humans reach Sequence 6, they basically have no future.

Therefore, the most prosperous and advanced human civilizations are almost all concentrated in the border areas of human territory.

Of course, those places are also more dangerous, as the war between alien gods and the world government has never stopped.

Therefore, although the human heartland is becoming increasingly depleted of resources, it still shoulders the important task of breeding a large population and providing talent to the border areas. In addition, the human heartland has spiritual realms that the human border lacks, so it cannot be said that the human heartland is entirely inferior to the border.

Rosen traveled for three days on a steam train, covering thousands of miles in a straight line and passing through many cities.

They finally arrived at the heart of the Blazing Shadow Duchy, the Blazing Shadow Royal City. Actually, it's a bit inappropriate to call the capital of a duchy a royal city, but the Grand Duke of Blazing Shadow holds absolute power in the Blazing Shadow Duchy, so no one can say anything if he wants to call it the Blazing Shadow Royal City.

Furthermore, according to some rumors, the Grand Duke of Chiying is very close to becoming the King of Chiying.

Rosen left the platform through the noble passage and saw a city completely different from Redstone City.

Redstone City is somewhat similar to medieval architecture. Although there are factories and some alchemical artifacts, they are not very common. However, the Blazing Shadow Royal City is a highly developed futuristic city from any perspective.

Steam trains from all directions entered the Blazing Shadow Royal City, bringing resources and elites from all over the country.

Airships hovered and docked on the city's edge, continuously transporting rarer resources and extraordinary sequences.

The city streets are filled with products of alchemy, skyscrapers reaching a thousand meters in height have advertisements projected around them, and you can even see rows of wizard towers and small floating cities within the city. Compared to this, Redstone City is a remote and impoverished place.

The area around the train station was full of ordinary people running guide businesses, but Rosen did not hire a guide.

Because he didn't know the city or its rules, some guides would take advantage of this and lead visitors astray without them realizing it. Guides who dared to do this all had powerful backers, and Rosen, being new to the city, didn't want to cause trouble for himself.

Therefore, he directly purchased the latest city handbook, which is the best way for outsiders to understand the Blazing Shadow Royal City.

However, the City Handbook is really expensive, but it's an alchemical product so it's acceptable.
