Chapter 1836 The Empire Of Friends.h.i.+p

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 only lasted 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 place they called Atlas Border Landport.

"Amazing!!!" (+0+)

Adam listened to the words of the many pa.s.sengers, also shocked by all he heard. Some things looked so real that he thought they were the G.o.ds themselves making an appearance. In the misty atmosphere, those signs did play a good part at showing them the way. Wow! The lights along the roads, the 6 lane giant roads themselves, the sidewalks, the clatter of horse-drawn carriages, the chatter of pa.s.serbys, 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 gla.s.s surface. Baymard Baymard... He was finally here! .

"h.e.l.lo there," A young vibrant woman welcomed 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 welcomed, especially those who were coming 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. "Welcome to Baymard, the empire of friends.h.i.+p. Please, call me Deedra. If any of you need a.s.sistance with your luggage, do let me and my staff know. We will gladly a.s.sist 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 f.a.n.n.y pack on his waist, one his son had sent to him a while back. Adam at first, wasn't used to wearing this f.a.n.n.y 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 doc.u.ments. Although not as lavish looking and high end as Baymard's, ID doc.u.ments 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 ident.i.ty. 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 villages, having special teams of people they put to do things like seal stamping several birth and ident.i.ty doc.u.ments. Adam was extremely pleased with this waterproof f.a.n.n.y bag. On top of that, the zip's also had special combination lock systems built into the bag.

Even if you stretch your hands to unzip a compartment, you would need to know his secret number combo. Again, for him to take off the f.a.n.n.y pack, he also needed a combination lock too. All Adam could say was that he was very pleased with the f.a.n.n.y 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 G.o.dly bag for all travelers? (**)
