Chapter 1836 The Empire Of Friendship
Stepping out of the wagon, Adam''s mouth opened and closed severally. ''What a beast!''
The Empire''s walls, that were even far taller and thicker than the great walls of China, was such a grandeur piece of architecture Adam couldn''t keep his eyes off of. The towering spires and gleaming facades left him breathless. Sounds of carriages going in and out could be heard all around him, as well as the rustic sounds of nature and the voices of the inspection team and travelers. Standing outside, everyone watched as the Baymardian inspection team first stepped closer, first using strange devices attached to poles to scan underneath the vehicles. Some contraptions were attached to mirrors that showed whatever was hidden underneath, and others beeped every now and then.
"All clear!!!" The brief inspection onlysted for at most 4 minutes before they hopped back into the wagon. Adam was a little confused, but did as everyone else did. It was only after entering Baymard, did he know that this was just a pre-inspection. The real inspection came when the wagon pulled up before a ce they called As Border Landport.
They were entering Baymard though a border settlement, which was neither a town, city or vige N?v(el)B\\jnn
The border settlement was located just outside the perimeters of As Town. However, the border settlement point of entry was again divided by the rest of Baymard via another wall. Landon had designed it and many other border entry points, to be simr to King''s Lansing, which was the Capital''s entry point. So imagine a U-shape bubble carved around the entry Walls. Within the U-shape bubble, the Landport was built, as well as a few sleeping quarters for guests and visitors. Winter was nearing its end, since it was the 2nd week of March. A week and a few more days to go before Pyno officially entered Spring. Snow hardly fell these days, but the light drizzle of rain did apany them every day and them, leaving a misty cloud around the space.
.
Wow!!! The mist that was heavily centered at a midway around the many towering structures, gave the illusion the structures were so tall they went to the heavens. If it was before, many would fear to open the wagon windows, afraid the cold temperatures woulde in. But after most official bus wagons were equipped with Baymardian ss windows as a second window frame, everyone could now stare out the wagons and enjoy their little sightseeing. No matter how many times they''ve seen it, Baymard''s overall beauty and appearance still made their hearts throb chaotically. "Father, father… is this really the famous Baymard you visit regrly? Father, how can buildings grow so high that they touch the skies?" "Son, these buildings didn''t grow, but were done by people just like you and me." "Mother! Mother! Look at that! It''s a magical unicorn, and it''s waving at us!!!" "You child… Well, it''s a unicorn, but not a real one. That is just a unicorn sign weing us in."
"Amazing!!!" (+0+)
Adam listened to the words of the many passengers, also shocked by all he heard. Some things looked so real that he thought they were the Gods themselves making an appearance. In the misty atmosphere, those signs did y a good part at showing them the way. Wow! The lights along the roads, the 6ne giant roads themselves, the sidewalks, the tter of horse-drawn carriages, the chatter of passerbys, the hum of activity, the stunning decorations and everything else left Adam enveloped in a whirlpool of sensory overload. Adam didn''t even notice his breathing had changed rapidly, as his face was now leaning so close to the window that he almost kissed the cold ss surface. Baymard… Baymard... He was finally here! .
"Hello there," A young vibrant woman weed their group after the wagon driver and staff offloaded everyone''s items. She wore a warm staff sweater, long professional but warm pants, boots, gloves, and an expensive-looking warm scarf around her neck. And when she smiled, everyone felt incredibly weed, especially those who wereing in for the first time. She treated them as though they were royalty, treating them with the utmost respect respect how untidy and unkempt some of them looked. "Wee to Baymard, the empire of friendship. Please, call me Deedra. If any of you need assistance with your luggage, do let me and my staff know. We will dly assist you in taking them in." How wonderful!! Adam subconsciously nodded, although he probably won''t need any help with his luggage. He only had a backpack on him, and that was it. No wait! He also had a Fanny pack on his waist, one his son had sent to him a while back. Adam at first, wasn''t used to wearing this Fanny pack during his first few days of travel. But after spending another 2 months with it on, Adam was now a loyal fan of this ingenious bag. Hey… it was so convenient to zip and unzip it to get his coins and other private identification documents. Although not asvish looking and high end as Baymard''s, ID documents have been around for hundreds and thousands of years. Well, it was just a piece of paper given to one that has an official seal on it to prove one''s identity. The seals of the Royals, City lords and royals can never be duplicated. The ancients were smart. They had their own way of ensuring one could never forge a seal. It''s possible, but very unlikely. In this era, the City lords and town lords look over nearby viges, having special teams of people they put to do things like seal stamping several birth and identity documents. Adam was extremely pleased with this waterproof Fanny bag. On top of that, the zip''s also had specialbination lock systems built into the bag.
Even if you stretch your hands to unzip apartment, you would need to know his secret numberbo. Again, for him to take off the Fanny pack, he also needed abination lock too. All Adam could say was that he was very pleased with the Fanny bag, especially since several thieves had tried prying it from him whenever he went out to relieve himself or buy a meal during his long journey. What was this? Who was the ingenious man who came up with such a godly bag for all travelers? (*?*)
