Chapter 21 Libertas
Cloud Journey Tower.
As a landmark building in the Vil Hub, it is also the core of this alchemical product.
Due to its advantageous location and the presence of the Foreign Affairs Bureau, no fewer than a thousand airships depart from or arrive at Yuntu Airship Tower every day.
Yan Shi stood in the lobby of the Cloud Journey Tower, his expression solemn, looking up to search for Emerald City.
Inside the airship tower, a special array is used to gather spiritual energy in mid-air, outlining a series of colorful and densely interwoven flight paths. Each flight path is accompanied by floating text indicating the departure time.
It's too complicated.
I can't understand it at all.
Yan Shi had taken the airship a few times at the Cloud Journey Tower, but those were all special airships of the Bureau of Foreign Affairs, and the floors they arrived at were cleared out.
She never came downstairs to buy a ticket.
This route marking is a mess, what does it all mean?
Yan Shi didn't understand.
Yan Shi felt that the route presentation by Yun Tu Hangta was too imaginative, so he gave it a bad review and decided to come back another day. He then suggested that the person in charge make some changes.
"Hello, I think you might need some help?" A deep female voice suddenly came from beside her.
Yan Shi turned his head and saw a young woman wearing a vest and shorts. What was rather unusual was that she was carrying a metal heavy sword that was as tall as a person on her back.
“Oh, please don’t worry, I’m not a bad person.” The woman had deep blue eyes like the ocean. “My name is Libertas, and I am a Free Knight.”
No, what's going on today?
Yan Shi fell into deep thought. She had only been at the Weil Hub for a short time, and already two people had taken the initiative to talk to her.
Could it be that she changed into a casual outfit today and looked more approachable?
Seeing that Yan Shi didn't respond, Libertas took two steps back, took out his phone from his pocket, and after a few taps, turned the screen towards Yan Shi: "YunTu Air Tower has an online ticketing program. I see you seem to be looking for flight routes? The air routes are particularly hard to see and aren't updated in a timely manner. Let me check online for you?"
The phone screen displayed the same ticket purchase interface as the one shown on Watch World 77780.
Yan Shi: ...
Yan Shi withdrew his negative review of Yuntu Hangta.
She also took her own phone out of her pocket: "Thank you, what's this app?"
Libertas was very enthusiastic: "Cloud Journey. You can search and download it directly from the store. After installation, log in and bind your account using your ID code to buy tickets. It's much more convenient and faster than queuing at the airport tower."
Yan Shi paused after opening his phone.
Because the curse suddenly responded, she was reading a comic at the time, so she quickly changed her clothes and came to the other world.
She brought the wrong phone.
Yan Shi gripped his phone tightly, looked up at Libertas, and gave a stiff smile: "Thank you. I can operate it myself."
The subtext is that Libertas can leave now and stop watching her buy tickets.
Libertas looked knowing and understanding: "Why don't you buy it on my phone? Cloud Journey is a program recently launched by the Will Hub, and some phones may not have it."
"Just add the identification code after you select the route." She said, handing her phone to Yan Shi. "Delete the identification code after you buy the ticket. I won't look at it."
No, she also doesn't have an identity code from the other world.
Yan Shi: "Thank you. I plan to buy the tickets offline."
Libertas didn't speak, his hand hovering in mid-air as he handed over the phone for a moment before finally withdrawing it. He looked steadily at Yan Shi and suddenly said, "I can be your guarantor and help you get an identity code."
Yan Shi: ?
Libertas: "I am the first in line to the Duke of Lorenz, and I have already received my admission notice to Zhanzhou. My status rating from the Bureau of Immigration is estimated to be very high. I guarantee that you will be able to get an identity code. Then you won't have to continue being an undocumented person."
From birth, beings in the Otherworld need to have their personal information registered at the Bureau of Otherworld Registration. Afterward, they will be given an identity code issued by the Bureau of Otherworld Registration. Only with an identity code are they recognized as residents of the Otherworld by the Bureau of Otherworld Registration and can enjoy various conveniences under the Bureau's management, including riding airships, teleportation arrays, and logging into various software on their mobile phones.
If a child is not registered with the household registration department within three months of birth, they are considered an unregistered person. Registration of an unregistered person requires a guarantor to be responsible for the accuracy of the identity information provided. This means that if the person subsequently registers the child and is found to have provided false information, the guarantor will also be criminally prosecuted.
Because the household registration department's records are synchronized to the cloud once a week, there have been many cases where ordinary people have been paid to help criminals frequently reissue identity codes in various places within a short period of time.
The Bureau of Foreign Affairs requires that the guarantor's education, family, and employment situation be comprehensively considered and rated. Only those who meet certain standards can apply for a replacement identity code as a guarantor within six months.
The rating is not publicly available, but given Libertas's background, his status rating is likely to be high, not low.
Duke Lorenz is the Grand Duke of the Western Magic Territory and one of the few Archmages among the human race in the Underworld.
Her first heir, while walking down the street, encountered a stranger. He first offered to help, and then volunteered to act as the stranger's guarantor.
Does Libertas know what kind of tough guys those unregistered people who can grow up successfully all alone in the Otherworld are?
Yan Shi was stunned.
She had deep doubts about the Duke of Lorenz's educational background.
Libertas looked at Yanlan.
She noticed Yanlan while observing the flowing light.
Liuguang is a notorious deputy head of a smuggling caravan who smuggles soul trading scrolls from the Kess territory, which is under the jurisdiction of Lorenz, and sells them in accordance with the Grand Duke's strict prohibition.
A soul-for-trade scroll means that even selling your soul to the devil won't grant your wish. It's a serious scam.
Libertas followed the shimmering light. Because of the Mithril Merchant Guild's extremely strong security, she hadn't found an opportunity to strike. She had originally planned to lie in wait near the security checkpoint, hoping to find out what was inside the boxes.
She then discovered that Liuguang was talking to a strange woman.
Fearing that Liuguang would discover him, Libertas dared not get too close. He only followed Yanlan into the air traffic control hall as quickly as he entered.
Passengers came and went in the airship tower, but Yanlan stood quietly alone in the center of the hall, looking up at the flight path. Her eyebrows were flamboyant, but her eyes were like the finest obsidian that Libertas had seen deep in the canyon, cold and mysterious. She probably had never ridden an airship before; even though she hid it well, there was still a hint of bewilderment on her face.
Her attire was very simple, almost excessively so. She wore no magical accessories or artifacts. The cell phone tucked in her pocket resembled the old, first-generation version that Libertas had seen in a museum.
Libertas is very sensitive to spatial fluctuations, and she is certain that Yanlan does not have a spatial storage container.
The fact that he could talk to Liuguang probably means he's an unregistered person planning to sneak onto the airship after reviewing the flight path.
Following her mother's lifelong admonition to uphold justice and order, Libertas decided to find out which airship Yanlan was going to take and follow her to prevent endangering public safety. So she stepped forward and asked, "Would you like to buy tickets online?"
The other party was unaware that there was an online program.
Because the daily passenger flow of YunTu Airport Tower is extremely large, the offline ticket purchase queue is long and requires a lot of manpower to verify the flight routes. YunTu LingCheng was launched and put into use ten years ago.
Now, when you go to the offline sales window of YunTu Hangta, the staff will also remind you to download YunTu Lingcheng.
Yanlan didn't know.
Moreover, she herself didn't realize that she kept saying thank you, as if she was somewhat at a loss because she had never received kindness from others.
For some reason, Libertas blurted out, "I can be your guarantor and help you get a legal license."
The other person was stunned, and after a long silence, said, "Thank you. But it's alright."
Libertas quickly added, "Really! So you don't need to trade with Flowing Light for an identity code." She looked at Yan Shi sincerely, "Making a deal with the devil will ultimately lead to nothing."
Yan Shi: ...
What script is this?
She was involved in a transaction with Liuguang to buy identity codes; how could she, as the person involved, not know this?
Wasn't Liu Guang a sucker who willingly provided her with information and entertainment?
Yan Shi tried to defend himself, but found himself unable to refute the argument.
"That's it," she thought blankly. It seemed she had met the next person with a thought process as incomprehensible as Lin Cai's.
Libertas also received her admission notice from Zhanzhou, meaning she would be in the same year as Lin Cai, and they would definitely have a lot in common.
Yan Shi decided not to continue looking at the flight routes. She suddenly realized that even if she had one, she couldn't buy a ticket herself without the Inner World ID code.
It should be the Bureau of Investigation and Intervention.
She tried to ignore Libertas, who was standing beside her trying to persuade her not to make a deal with Streamlight, and walked straight outside.
“You really need to get your ID code from the Bureau of Extraterritorial Affairs. Even if Liuguang could give you one, it would probably be someone else’s. Trust me, I have no reason to…” Yan Shi stopped and turned to look at her.
Libertas was pleasantly surprised: "You changed your mind and agreed not to make a deal with Streamlight?"
"No." Yan Shi's voice was clear and crisp. "Thank you for your kindness, but I don't need to get an ID code. Liu Guang invited me to C5 Street at midnight tonight."
"I think you're a good person, but I still want to go and see for myself. Do you want to come with me?"
Libertas: "No problem! I'll protect you."
Although he can't lead an entire enforcement team, he'll probably be pleasantly surprised to bring along a knight who looks righteous and is likely to clash with Liuguang.
Because Liu Guang fought with Di Shangming last week and destroyed the black market, the Bureau of Extraordinary Affairs has a lot more related documents to process this week, which Yan Shi has noted down.
A slight smile appeared on her lips: "Then we'll see you at 11:30 tonight."
"Huh?" Libertas said, "It's already seven o'clock. Is there anything else you need?"
"I'd like to explore the Ville hub by myself. I've never been here before."
Of course they can't go together. Yan Shi is going to set up a small business for herself that can be used to enter C5 Street.
“Okay.” Judging from Yan Shi’s expression, Libertas guessed that she wouldn’t change her mind. “Let’s add each other as friends on Lingtong, I’ll transfer the money to you…” Libertas suddenly remembered that this was an unregistered user and couldn’t log in to Lingtong.
She stopped talking in time, took a heavy bag out of her spatial bracelet and stuffed it into Yan Shi's hand: "This is a gift as a greeting between friends. Have fun."
After saying that, probably fearing that Yan Shi wouldn't accept it, she waved her hand and quickly left.
Yan Shi opened the bag, which was full of silver coins.
She was both amused and exasperated. Did she look gullible and down on her luck today?
As the heir to the Duke of Lorenz, Libertas probably didn't consider this bag of silver coins a huge sum of money.
Yan Shi shrugged, took out two silver coins from the bag, tied them tightly in his hand, and randomly found a merchant on the street to push the silver coins over.
"Hello, how do I get to the Bureau of Extraterritorial Affairs?"
As Libertas said, it's not long before midnight. As a branch of the Bureau of Transportation Authority located at a transportation hub, there must be quite a few contraband items being seized.
Let her find out which item would be suitable as the first product for her "small business".
Author's Note: There will be more updates... and I'll make up for the shorter chapters after the VIP chapters (apologies for feeling guilty).
This is a shonen manga, so the main cast is naturally a traditional trio. Libertas makes a grand entrance, joining Lin Cai and Bai Du (Tiger Cub) to complete the main cast!
