46 Chapter 46

"As you wish, Your Excellency. Men! Escort Formation!" Ezedius said to Quickstep and issued a new order towards the city army. The soldiers lined up into two columns. A clear pathway was noticed in between of the arranged defenders.

Ezedius touched his ring and a carriage appeared out of nowhere. Three beasts shouldered the burden of the transport.

"Allow me to show my hospitality as City Lord, Your Excellency." Ezedius said and gestured for Quickstep to mount the carriage.

"Hahaha! What a nice flying house!" Quickstep laughed as he accepted the offer from Ezedius. He went inside the carriage and saw that it was very spacious compared with how it looked outside. It was fifty feet in width and length.

He gazed outside through a transparent glasslike material. Quickstep was amazed at all this new discoveries.

"How is this possible? The area inside is so huge!" Quickstep commented to Ezedius who followed him inside the carriage.

"The learned ones were able to have breakthroughs in their research on space magic, Your Excellency. The three beasts outside are devoid of life which made it possible for this magical carriage to be stored inside a space ring." Ezedius explained towards Quickstep.

He thought that this bald immortal was obviously behind from all the recent changes of technology in this immortal realm.

"Maybe this immortal just went out from a long period of closed door cultivation." Ezedius guessed.

"Learned ones? Are they intelligent people? Those that have all wisdom teeth inside their mouths?" Quickstep asked Ezedius. He was thrilled to know about these learned ones. The possibility of transmogrifying into them excited him.

"Wouldn't that mean that he would eventually become the most intelligent existence in this world?" Quickstep thought. Afterwards, he smiled because the thought elated him immensely.

"I don't know about their wisdom teeth, Your Excellency. But I can assure you, the learned ones are the most intelligent people in the realms. They build machines and crafted everything that we see today. Their whole lives are spent only to search the pinnacle of knowledge." Ezedius introduced the learned ones to Quickstep.

He wondered about the bald immortal's sudden smile but he did enquire upon it further. It was best to observe propriety, Ezedius decided.

"Hahaha! I would like to meet one. Are there learned ones inside the city?" Quickstep asked to Ezedius.

"Of course, Your Excellency. We have thousands if not millions of learned ones residing inside my city." Ezedius answered Quickstep.

"Hehehe! Okay. Let's hurry! I want to meet with the learned ones after the party." Quickstep said his wish to Ezedius.

"I will arrange everything, Your Excellency. Leave it to me. Please…" Ezedius assured Quickstep. He bowed a little and motioned with his left hand towards the soft chairs in the carriage. The two were still standing as of the moment.

"Hahaha! You are so good to me, my friend. I don't know what to do in order to repay your hospitality. Hmmm. Do you like honey or bread crumbs?" Quickstep asked once more towards Ezedius after they had been seated in comfort facing each other.

Their chairs were like thrones befitting great kings of power. Between them was an immaculate table. It was made of some sort of thin see through glass that reeked of class and luxury.
