Chapter 8 - Chapter 8

The transportation hall was bustling with activity, as many people were arriving and departing. There were different vendors selling food and goods around the transportation hall, adding to the lively atmosphere. The area was surrounded by small stalls and merchants selling different things such as clothes, souvenirs, food, and other items.

As Eric arrived at the transportation hall, he made his way directly inside. He had no intention of lingering, and instead approached an attendant who was standing at the side of the hall. He had planned to depart immediately and sought the assistance of the attendant for his journey.

"Hello, I'm planning to go to Evergreen City," Eric said, addressing the attendant. "Can you please show me the way?"

"Of course, welcome to the Blueleaf Transportation Hall," the attendant replied, with a friendly smile. "Please follow me, I'll take you to the right platform."

Eric followed the attendant and as he walked through the transportation hall, he became curious about the strength level of the people around him. He began to discreetly observe and evaluate the strength of the individuals he saw.

As Eric observed the people around him, he thought to himself, "Most of the people here seem to have an average level of around 10-20, with some individuals even reaching level 30. With my own strength level being comparable or even stronger."

Eric is quite pleased with this.

Eric and the attendant soon reached a booth, where Eric spoke with the other attendant, tipped him, and purchased a ticket for a private cabin on the ship. The ticket cost him around a thousand gold coins. The before attendant still assisted Eric in boarding the ship, which he found to be enormous and resembling a whale. The ship was so big and huge; it was like a fish.

The flying ship was an enormous and magnificent sight to behold. It had a sleek and aerodynamic design, with a hull that resembled a whale. The ship was painted in a gleaming metallic color that glinted in the sunlight. The ship also had large, spacious decks and cabins for passengers to relax and enjoy the journey. Inside the ship, it was equipped with amenities like comfortable seating, dining areas, and entertainment rooms. The ship was also equipped with advanced navigation and safety systems, making it a safe and reliable mode of transportation for those who want to travel between cities in the empire.

As soon as Eric boarded the ship, the attendant quickly took him to his designated cabin, which was number 204. Once they arrived at the cabin, Eric thanked the attendant and gave him a tip before the attendant left.

Eric entered the cabin and found that it was not overly spacious, but it was still quite comfortable. The cabin was equipped with all the necessary amenities such as a bed, a small bathroom, a table, and a window that provided a view of the outside. The bed was neatly made with soft linens and pillows, providing a comfortable place to rest during the flight.

The small bathroom was equipped with a toilet, sink, and shower, providing a convenient place to freshen up. The table was a small desk with a chair, providing a comfortable space for him to work or dine. The window was large enough to let in natural light, and provide a view of the sky and the passing landscapes. Overall, the cabin provided a cozy and comfortable environment for the passengers to relax during their journey.

Eric decided to take advantage of the comfortable cabin and rest here until the ship's departure. He planned to use this time to relax, gather his thoughts and mentally prepare for the journey ahead.

As the afternoon approached, the ship began to prepare for departure. Passengers could feel a slight vibration throughout the ship as the engines started to power up. The hum of the engines grew louder as the ship began to lift off the ground and into the air. The ship's crew made some announcements.

Eric learned that the ship would arrive at Evergreen City in approximately a month's time. He also found out that the ship would make several stops along the way, making stops at a total of five cities before reaching Evergreen City.

"Hmmm. It's quite a long journey," Eric muttered to himself.

Eric had been idling around in the cabin for a few hours, feeling bored. He decided that it was time to explore the ship and see what it had to offer.

As he walked through the halls, he noticed how sleek and modern the ship was. It was like nothing he had ever seen before. He saw other passengers along the way, but none of them stood out to him as they all seemed to be around the level, 10-20.

As Eric made his way through the ship, he came across a restaurant. "I think I'll try some food here," he said to himself.

As he walked through the doors, he was greeted by an intricately designed restaurant that had an ancient feel to it. Although it wasn't very large, the restaurant was bustling with activity. The decor and ambiance were so unique and captivating that caught Eric's attention.

Eric decided to order a classic dish of noodles with a soft-boiled egg. The noodles were perfectly cooked and had a delicious savory flavor. The egg was cooked to perfection, with a soft and runny yolk that added a rich and decadent taste to the dish.

He also ordered a cold glass of iced tea to refresh his palate and quench his thirst. The iced tea was made with fresh mint leaves and had a subtle sweetness that balanced out the acidity of the tea leaves.

Eric, in search of a vacant spot to savor his meal, was fortunate enough to stumble upon an unoccupied table. The table was located in a secluded corner of the restaurant and offered a picturesque view of the ship's surroundings.

He made his way over to the table, where he sat down and carefully placed his tray of food on the table in front of him, ready to enjoy his meal in peace and tranquility.

As Eric savored his meal, he was suddenly interrupted by a young woman. She was petite in stature, with a beautiful and delicate appearance. Her short frame was accentuated by her captivating beauty, which was further highlighted by her striking features, including her sparkling eyes and rosy cheeks. Despite her small size, she commanded attention with her striking presence and alluring charm.

"Hello, would you mind if I sat with you? All the other tables seem to be full," the young woman asked politely while giving Eric a friendly smile.

Eric, noticing that there was still an empty seat at the table, replied cordially, "No problem at all, please make yourself comfortable."

The young woman thanked him with a smile, and took a seat across from Eric, placing her tray of food on the table. "Thank you so much, I really appreciate it," she said.

Eric replied with a nod, "Not a problem, I understand how hard it can be to find an empty table in a crowded restaurant."

They both enjoy their meal in silence for a moment, before the young woman turned to Eric and said: "This table has a great view, I can't help but envy your luck in finding an empty table".

Eric replied with a chuckle "I'm glad you like it; I was fortunate to find this table. I think it's one of the best spots in the restaurant"

Eric, feeling curious about the young woman who had joined him, decided to discreetly use the system to scan her.

Name: Athena Greenlief (12)

Rank: Level 12 Warrior

Health: 100/100

Attributes-

Strength: 10.2

Agility: 10.1

Intelligence: 12.4

Combat Awareness: 12.4

Eric was quite surprised by the information the system provided him about the young woman.

He noticed that her combat awareness level was particularly high, indicating that she was skilled in various forms of combat and had a strong interest in fighting. This information caught Eric off guard as he couldn't reconcile the image of the petite and delicate-looking young woman with that of a battle-hardened warrior.

As the young woman finished her meal, Eric noticed that she was done before him,

"It's interesting to note that women tend to eat smaller." As Eric thought.

"By the way, thank you again for letting me sit here. My name is Athena, what should I call you?" she said with a friendly smile.

Eric, deciding to use an alias to conceal his true identity, replied with a smile, "You're welcome, my name is Uno."

"Uno, it was a pleasure meeting you," Athena said with a friendly smile.

"Likewise," Eric replied, returning her smile. As Athena gathered her things and prepared to leave, she turned to Eric and said, "I should be going now, but I hope our paths cross again. It was great chatting with you."

Eric replied, "I hope so too, it was nice getting to know you. Take care."
