That evening, the ind spanning 100 realms grew lively with the arrival of ships from various alliances. The scene became vibrant with different types of vesselsnding one by one on the vastnd. There were massive transport ships, warships with thick steel ting, and small ships with aerodynamic designs. The rumble of engines and the ocean breeze mingled, creating an atmosphere full of energy.


    In one area where the alliances of the world market trade docked, arge port had already been established. Each time a shipnded, they would make their way toward the temporary harbor.


    At the Temporary Harbor, several simple buildings had already been constructed. These buildings served as administrative centers to record and manage the activities of neers. Nearby, there was arge parking area for public ships, though many private ship owners preferred to store their vessels inside their spatial rings.


    Of course, those who owned private ships could store them in their spatial rings, but most Hunters and some rulers used public ships, making them the preferred mode of transportation.


    Among the ships thatnded, a small vessel stopped and unloaded its passengers. From the ship, a group led by an old man named Zega disembarked swiftly. Zega appeared calm, with hair mostly white and eyes that radiated wisdom and decisiveness. Behind him, a team member spoke with a curious tone.


    "Mr. Zega, why are we going to the administrative building? Can''t we just head out and start exploring?"


    Zega turned slightly, his voice soft yet clear, disying the patience of an experienced leader. "We need to register first," he replied.


    "Thisnd isn''t necessarily safe. By registering, the alliance can more easily search for or record us if something happens."


    It didn''t take long for them to arrive in front of the administrative building. Upon reaching the entrance, the group found the ce bustling with activity. The building was spacious, with a main hall capable of amodating hundreds of people at once. Rulers, Hunters, and adventurers from various alliances were busy queuing or talking to staff.


    However, the most striking feature was the hundreds of service robots moving around inside the room. These robots had sleek designs with shiny metallic bodies. Some carried glowing holographic panels, while others appeared to be conversing with neers.


    "Over there, that service robot is idle," pointed one of Zega''s team members.


    "Let''s go there," Zega replied, leading his team toward the indicated robot.


    As they approached the service robot, a holographic panel appeared, floating in the air before them. The blue light from the hologram illuminated the faces of Zega''s group.


    [E-BOT #Ezi#24]


    "Wee, Ruler. How may I assist you?"


    "We''d like to register," Zega answered casually. For him, robots like this were nothing out of the ordinary. In almost every ce he visited, service robots like this were part of the infrastructure.


    "Very well, please fill out the following form," the robot replied in a t yet polite tone. In an instant, the holographic panel shifted to disy a form filled with various information fields.


    [Enter your data]


    - Name


    - Alliance


    - Level


    - Rank


    - Ruler ID


    ...


    Zega observed the form, which included numerous fields: name, alliance, level, rank, and Ruler ID. However, at the bottom of the form, there was a far more practical option—a scanning feature.


    Without hesitation, Zega pressed the scan button. A blue light emerged from the service robot''s chest, resembling a fan of light moving from top to bottom, scanning Zega''s body thoroughly. The beam felt soft yet bright enough to cast a faint shadow on the floor beneath them.


    [Scan sessful, please confirm]


    - Name: Zega Hia


    - Alliance: World Market Trade


    - Level: 27 (Tier-2)


    - Rank: tinum-tier Hunter


    - Ruler ID: 7261361


    - ...


    [Confirm]


    Zega carefully reviewed the information disyed by the service robot. After ensuring that all the data was correct, he nodded slightly.


    [Congrattions, registration sessful]


    The service robot then returned to standby mode, disying its main holographic menu to assist the next ruler. Without wasting time, Zega turned to his team. "Quickly, all of you. Register yourselves," hemanded briefly but clearly.


    His team members moved promptly. One by one, five people—four men and one womanpleted the scanning process. They opted for this method because it was faster, avoiding time wasted on manual procedures. The blue light from the robot enveloped each person, identifying them within seconds.


    Not long after, the process wasplete. Thest member reported, "All done, Mr. Zega."


    Zega gave a small nod, smiling. "Alright then, let''s get going."


    Leaving the administrative building, Zega''s team walked toward the western side of the temporary harbor. Along the way, they were treated to a scene bustling with activity. Rulers and exploration teams moved about. Some appeared eager as they headed toward the administrative building to register, while others were already venturing out onto the newnd.


    Zega observed his surroundings, murmuring to himself almost inaudibly. "It seems like everyone came with a team..." His aged eyes scanned each group. There was hardly a ruler traveling alone.


    This was entirely reasonable, given that thisnd had never been explored before. It was much safer to navigate with a group and form a team.


    After walking for several minutes, they finally arrived at the edge of the harbor area. This was where thend journey began, and with such vast terrain, traveling on foot was clearly not a wise option.


    Zega paused for a moment, looking at his team. "Summon your mounts. We''ll need speed to reach our destination."


    "Yes, Sir," replied one of his team members.


    Each team member began summoning their contracted beasts using summoning seals. A magical sight unfolded as radiant lights emerged from their rings or talismans, gradually forming the shapes of powerful creatures.


    Zega was no exception. With a faint smile, he raised his right hand, revealing a simple ring that glowed blue. "Come forth," he murmured softly.


    The light radiated from his ring, expanding in the air, until it formed a majestic Wind Lion. Its mane was pure white, resembling the morning mist, while its blue eyes exuded calmness and power. Standing at about 1.5 meters tall, its body was sturdy yet elegant.
