Chapter 1735 Is It A Bird, Is It A Beast? No! Its--
Several minutes later, the group now stood before the many vast windows several feet above ground floor, overlooking the vast open s.p.a.ce outside.
The boisterous crowd was rowdy, with some sitting at the back and others standing behind them in various terminals.
Everyone was told to gather around terminals A14 to A34, and C30 to C70, only within the even number sections.
All Gate/portal-As were one floor down and Gate Cs was a floor up.
Of course, when standing far high above along the C gates, one would think they were 3~4 stories high from ground floor depending on where they were.
With the airport"s built-in connections, they will be able to hear the host"s voice no matter what terminal they waited in.
For Landon, his esteemed guests and those with high positions like Overseers, they stayed within the s.p.a.ce between Gate C42, C44 and c46.
At the same time, the media outlets were already prepared for the event.
"This is Adrian from the BBC, channel 3 news. I tell you this Chris, the crowd is going wild, with thousands of people, including lower region workers, many of whom helped build the airports, gave his majesty Landon and Queen Lucy a warm reception."
Hooray!
The crowd"s cries of excitement were deafening, as they watched His Majesty and his many guests drive in Airport vehicles while standing tall and waving graciously.
His Majesty began his drive through from the A-portal gates, before going backstage through staff and security pa.s.sages and appearing at the C-gates above.
There were many of them driving, so it didn"t make sense for them to stop and take the elevators now and then.
The back staff stations had inclined moving floor escalators, in case they had to move ma.s.sive giant boxes and crates of supplies up to various floors towards the many stores and so on.
They could sit in their airport cart vehicles and drive up the s.p.a.ce without worry.
"Ahhh!~... Did his majesty just smile at me?"
"No way! Who would look at your Hangol face and smile at you? Obviously, his majesty was flas.h.i.+ng his teeth at me!"
"d.a.m.n! How can Queen Lucy be so good-looking? No way! My idol is too stunning. Where can I buy the dupe for her dress? Does anyone know? Even in pregnancy, she is so radiant, it"s blinding!"
"Wow! Its King-Father Lucius, Queen-Mother Kim and little princess Kora. Picture perfect! They look no older than 20!"
"Princess Kora! Princess Kora! Over here! My little boy loves you! My little boy of 5 is your biggest fan!"
"Oh, my ancestors! How can Princess Kora be so cute? I heard she can now talk, and write and is very smart just like her brother, his majesty Landon."
"It"s over! It"s over! The royal family carries the smartest brains! Anyone marrying them can be sure their children will be amazing!"
Many waved and greeted the royal family with warmth, while also acknowledging other royals and esteemed guests from other (^_^)

Many waved and greeted the royal family with warmth, while also acknowledging other royals and esteemed guests from other regions too.
"Look! That"s His Highness Fabian, from my Eritory Empire in Zohl!"
"Good Looking! Very good looking! Wow! I don"t know him but I think I"m about to fall in love."
"Ahh! His Highness Fabian, please look this way! Look this way!"
"Oh, my~... These are Giants, right? How very manly. I feel I can sleep on their chests without worry."
"His Majesty Timithh, please shake my daughter"s hands!"
"Mommy! Mommy! I shook his majesty Timothy"s hands... Hahahahha~ I"m never was.h.i.+ng my hands again! No! This dress must be preserved and pa.s.sed down from generation to generation, known as the famous dress I wore when greeting his majesty Timothy!"
"Daughter, you are right. Look! The media have also taken pictures and bodies of me shaking his hand. So how can I wear these clothes casually again?"
"Sir Gordon, please look this way!"
"Sir Jackson!"
"His majesty..."
"Queen-mother..."
"Princess!..."
Everywhere one turned, they were being called.
Timothy has never been so shy before today.
The love and general acceptance these foreigners have for him and his people was unbelievable.
Several weeks have gone by since he came here, and not only has he done countless photoshoots and interviews, but he also began receiving fan mail too.
This wasn"t a joke.
He received mail from men asking about his workout routine and what he does to stay fit.
Some women were even more brazen, wondering if he could grace them with just a wink before they died.
His Majesty Landon called them thrust mail, which he could ignore.
Years back, many could never say what they were saying so publicly within the crowd. However, now... especially when one can send fan mail with no name on it, people are coming out of the woodwork, saying some very, very embarra.s.sing things that made even Timothy blush.
Was he that attractive? Sure. He knew he was good-looking. But after coming to Baymard, he felt he was walking on clouds.
The ego boost was not a joke. It sure made an old man like him feel good.
(^v^)

Just like that, the ma.s.ses gave Landon and the others a warm reception, until they stepped out of the airport vehicles and took positions in their designated terminal zones.
Very soon, Landon took a step forward when everyone was settled, allowing the media and his many guests to stare his way with enthusiasm.
"It has been a journey hasn"t it? In the past, mankind used to marvel at the invention of fire. But if we now should go out there on the streets."
Landon leaned forward on his desk with a playful smile. "Today, can anyone think of us dancing around a bonfire in awe? Hey, if we did that wouldn"t we be daft?"
Hehehehehehe~
Low chuckles echoed from the crowd, as everyone no matter where they were, ground floor or above, laughed merrily at his Majesty"s jokes.
Only he can be a Monarch who never gets too serious in times like these.
"Yes. We would be a little coo-coo to jump over the invention of fire about tens, hundreds and thousands of years ago. So you see, technological evolution is only part of human existence."
"I have always said, humanity"s greatest strength is its mind. We came from inventing fire to creating towering structures, carriages, cars, s.h.i.+ps and all sorts of wonderful treasures our ancestors considered sorcery."
Many nodding heavily.
It was very true because records prove this fact time and time again.
Do you know that the first inventor of the s.h.i.+p construction concept was tortured and practically stoned at some point because it was believed he had dark magic that allowed the s.h.i.+p to float on sea?
Landon grinned from molar to molar, looking at particular people in the crowd.
"Ladies and gentlemen... When I first thought of the concept of creating towering buildings so high in Baymard, many believed it could be done... When I thought of metal cars, many thought I was coming down with a fever and talking nonsense…And when I finally decided to make man fly, even my team asked if I wanted to check into a hospital for rest to make sure I"m not losing it."
Chuckle. Chuckle~
Many overseers smiled awkwardly, recalling how many times they counted his majesty in the past.
Some foreigners who heard his majesty"s media talk about letting people fly during festivals, also said if man can fly, it would be the day the world was round.
It was just that they probably didn"t know his majesty and had already proven that the world was indeed round and not flat.
The more Landon spoke the more everyone"s heart bubbled with expectancy.
Miracle worker! Miracle worker!
His Majesty has proven time and time again that humanity can do anything!
(+v+)

Hehehehehehehe~
With a broad smile, Landon concluded his speech, knowing he had hooked them too deep, they were already at the feet of the seats.
With a secret wave of his fingers, he gave the signal to a few airport security staff hidden at the back of the crowd.
"Ladies and gentlemen, this time, I bring you the first flying cargo carriers in Hertfilia"s history! We call them Aircrafts!"
Almost immediately, many saw tiny dots above the skies grow larger and larger by the second.
Eh?
"Look up! Look up to the skies!"
"Is that a bird? Is that a beast?"
"No! It"s Superman!"
"You idiot. It"s the legendary Aircfrats!"
"Everyone remembers your bets. Which team is going to win?"
Imaginary Drum roll, please!
