Chapter 1908 Safe At Last
1 hour later, the corpses had been searched and disposed of. Landon still followed Fredrik in his carriage, as they headed for Frederik"s estate. He knew those TOEP would not attempt anything on Frederik so soon. However, one can never tell if there"s another team ready to take Fredrik away should their initial plan fail. Fortunately, the rest of the journey was a breeze and even Frederik"s sleepy night would have been considered peaceful, if not for the pain he felt from the stab wound. In no time Landon concluded his business with them and arranged to pick them up when the time was right. With that, he vanished, reappearing once more on his study. Fortunately, Frederik"s place was several hours ahead of Baymard"s Capital City. So when he warped back, it was 10 PM. He had already told the staff not to bother calling him for dinner, so no one had disturbed his time in his "office." With a cool smile on his lips, Landon nestled his little lady, and slowly went to bed. …
–Gateway Town, Eastern Regions, Baymard–
Vrmmm~
The sounds of vehicles storming along the vast countryside roads was all people could hear. In Baymard, a majority of the Eastern territories were seen as "Countryside" by many residents. Why, you ask? Well, if someone has ever watched those modern western movies, one could honestly say the luscious beauty was indeed hard to describe. The Prairies, the fields of flowers, the hills, the mountain terrains, the trees, the simple architectural style… Everything about it was magnificent. Of course, all buildings here, as well as in every part of Baymard, was slowly quickly getting equipped with standard, everyday modern essentials like tap water and electricity. Understand that the moment The Great Wall of Baymard was built, the Baymardian government was now very ready to reach out to these Baymardian territories and supply them with heating, water and electricity. Old Homes were still maintained, but modified to have a unique blend of ancient and modern aesthetics.
New homes were also built there, ones that blended beautifully with the overall beauty. One could say "The hills were alive, with the sound of music" when visiting the eastern Regions. Again, another thing that drew many to this place was of course… the newly man-made Desert Land that has been causing a buzz around the place.
Summertime! Summertime! What other time is there for adventure? Several youths were in a vehicle, driving along the highway, playing music at a moderate rate.
Well, unlike the music volume capacity in vehicles back on Earth, those in Baymardian vehicles could only go high to a certain extent. Although one can blast music in their homes at a deafening rate, on the road, it was another matter. The music was loud enough to be heard and enjoyed by everyone in the vehicle. However, it won"t be so loud that you can"t hear anything from the outside world. Baymard swore to make Baymard one of the safest places, regardless of the modern gadgets that are developed. On the road, 2 vehicles drove by, one behind another, all heading towards the same destination. Everyone in the vehicles had just graduated from their final year. And now, they were taking one big vacation together before truly joining the real world as true adults. "Woohoo~..."
"Summer break, here we come!"
"I can"t believe we are finally down with school… Oops… I forgot I will still need to report to the Academy of Science and Engineering come August. I"ve just been accepted into the lower region for work. It"s amazing that if you get a job there, they still pay for your tuition while you"re working. Part of my time will be spent at work, and the remaining time will be spent at the job." "Tsk… Lucky you. I"m still in the process of job hunting. Although, I did get one job acceptance in the Ministry of Finance. But you know me… Ministry work has always been my last option on my plate. I… want to be an actor. Sadly, it"s not that easy to be one." "Well, for me, I"ll also be working for the ministry, but the ministry of Agriculture. After working for 3 years, I must head back to Zalipnia to better my home." One by one, several people spoke about their future and the impending fun they were about to have.
Among them was Winston Dragul, a dark-skinned Zalipnian. Although Baymard was a dream place and an absolute ball to be in, he had to admit that he had a certain craving for his home in Romain. He was excited to be among the group of pioneers that would head out to various parts of Zalipnia to promote growth. Many empires allowed their citizens to study or work here so that they can apply what they learnt in their home countries. Winston loved the comfortability and safety Baymard provided. But if he didn"t head home to make changes to his empire, who was going to do it for him? He believed sometime in the distant future, Zalipnia would also become like Baymard. That he believed. Of course, one thing he loved more than anything else, was that Baymard knew how to keep a person entertained. Baymard often came up with unique games, books, theme parks and touristic sites that made his brain grow wild.
Like now, they were headed for the newly opened place they called the Sand of Times. They say the place is as big as half a town, with its own unique adventures for one to explore. "Look! Look! There it is… The Sands of Time!" Wow!!!
Winston"s mouth hung on an O-shape when staring at the many domes of sand up ahead. Incredible! He had never seen such a large s.p.a.ce filled with crystal yellowish-white specs of grain. He heard the area the sands of Time stood on, used to be a very cracked and dried land that even looked cracked and rugged in the winters. It was said vultures loved covering around these lands, waiting to get a taste of any who fell to their deaths while traversing the place. It was hard to believe that this was the same leveled cracked lands that he had heard about. And where did they get all this sand from? There were sand domes as high as mountains, and others as low as rocks. Sand, sand, sand… everywhere one looked, they could find sand. In this terribly hot weather, the sands seemed to reflect the heat onto the bodies of the many tourists pa.s.sing by. Winston had a broad grin on his lips when staring at the sandy world that awaited him. "Quickly, the Sands of Time await us!"
