Free Web NovelChapter 992: Chapter 360: The Choice of S-Level Materials
Boarding a flight to Lanlan City, Museum Director Phoenix had already been waiting at the airport.
Following him, Grace Spring was also in tow.
As a member of the Lan-Lan Balance Card Hall, he too had been given the opportunity to travel to the general hall.
During the idle chat on the plane, Ree Shil also learned that Grace Spring had another purpose for his trip, related to his identity as a reincarnation of gods.
The location of the general hall was naturally the central city of the entire Balance District.
This city could be described as the capital of the Balance District and was known as Balance City.
The position of Lanlan City in the Balance District was actually considered a bit remote.
The plane flew for five days and five nights.
Just before landing, Ree Shil had the opportunity to overlook the entire city.
For this city, he could only use one word to describe it: boundless.
Yes, even from the sky above the city, one could not see the edge of the city through the plane window.
One could imagine its vast scale.
Before, when Museum Director Phoenix mentioned that there were more than two hundred Balance Card Clubs in Balance City, Ree Shil thought that the other party might be exaggerating.
Now, seeing it himself, it seemed to be true.
After disembarking the plane, they switched to a low-flying maglev train.
The train traveled for almost half an hour before the three finally arrived at their destination.
"Are you saying... this place is the general hall?"
Standing in front of the white City Wall, Ree Shil was shocked.
This was no mere Card Club; it was indeed a town-sized city.
"You can also call this place Balance Town or Balance City."
Museum Director Phoenix understood their reaction very well, as he had a similar one when he first stood in front of the gate.
"My gosh, I heard that some people could live their whole lives inside the general hall without leaving. freeweɓnovel.cøm
I thought it meant the rules were strict, akin to confinement or imprisonment.
Now I see, that’s not the case at all..."
Grace Spring’s mouth hung open in amazement.
Through the wide city gate, he saw all kinds of stores.
One could say this place was entirely like a complete living area, no wonder one could spend their entire life here without going outside.
"Let’s go, I will take you to meet the Acting Director General."
Museum Director Phoenix unlocked a disk-shaped hoverboard at the City Gate Front and gestured for the two to come on board.
"Acting? So the current Director General is not officially appointed yet?"
Ree Shil caught the key word.
Grace Spring showed a similarly puzzled expression.
"You might not be aware."
Museum Director Phoenix smiled and glanced at the two: "The nominal Director General of the Balance Card Hall has always been one.
That is—the God of Balance."
Ree Shil: "Ah?"
Grace Spring: "Wow!"
"Don’t think too much; in the history of the original universe, the God of Balance has never appeared."
Knowing what they were thinking, Museum Director Phoenix continued: "But to show respect to the God of Balance, all the past Curators of the general hall would add an ’Acting’ to their title."
"I see." x2
The two nodded in understanding.
To ensure the safety of the Roads within the City, the hoverboard didn’t travel at high speeds.
During the ride, Museum Director Phoenix continued to introduce them to more information.
"The Acting Director General of the Balance Card Hall is selected on a rotation basis.
It is taken in turns by the twelve immortal Species, and unless an accident occurs, each term lasts for 100 years.
The current Acting Director General has been in charge for less than 30 years, which is still early in his term.
As far as I know, the system of the seven major card clubs is the same.
As the Curator in charge of the Lan-Lan Major District, it’s natural for me to come here and pay my respects.
Taking this opportunity, I brought you along to broaden your horizons."
"So what kind of person is the current Acting Director General?"
Grace Spring was curious.
"..."
Upon hearing this, Museum Director Phoenix fell silent for a moment: "He possesses the bloodline of both the Angel Tribe and the Merfolk tribe.
He is the only one among the twelve Acting Director Generals who is part of the Humanoid Clan.
He is also the one most closely related to our Human Tribe.
Had it not been for him, perhaps I wouldn’t be in my current position as a Curator."
His words carried a sense of gratitude but with an undertone of complexity.
But you’re not exactly human either, right? x2
Ree Shil and Grace Spring looked at each other’s Bird heads and silently commented. fгeewёbnoѵel.cσm
[Ding-ding-ding!]
Just then, Museum Director Phoenix’s Mobile phone rang.
"Okay, I understand."
After hanging up, he turned to the two: "It was actually the Acting Director General who wanted to meet you.
However, he suddenly had urgent business and had to leave Balance City, so this meeting will have to be canceled.
Since that’s the case, I’ll take you straight to the Card Repository instead."
After speaking, he redirected the hoverboard to the new destination.
About ten minutes later, the three of them passed through several levels and arrived in front of a basement.
"From here on, I can no longer accompany you."
Museum Director Phoenix stood with his hands behind his back and turned to the two Staff: "Thank you both for your assistance."
The two Staff members included one from the Angel Tribe with a Halo atop his head.
His features were gentle, and his pale, flawless skin seemed to radiate a glow.
His eyes were bright and clear, shining like two twinkling stars.
However, this was not an ordinary angel but a Fallen Angel with black feathers on its wings.
The other was from the Merfolk tribe, with a humanoid upper body and finned lower body.
The exposed skin was covered in delicate Scales emitting a dim light, as if containing some special, mysterious Power.
The two looked very similar, and both had one distinctive feature.
They were handsome.
Ree Shil felt this was the first time he had met beings who almost matched his own looks.
From their introduction just now, these two had rather peculiar names.
