My Ten Wives and Ten Rings in the Apocalypse-Chapter 196 Voice Of The Ark
"What realm are you now?" Susan asked.
"Star realm."
Star realm? The ladies widened their eyes and looked at him in amazement. Is the man they've been bonded to. A hint of pride appeared deep in the heart of the ladies.
After Susan and Kira satiate their curiosity about Justin's breakthrough, they lead Leah into another room and have the women talk. Previously, Susan would have been reluctant in joining such a thing but now, it happens naturally and it somehow gives her a sense of pride. She wasn't the little sister any longer, the mantle had fallen on Leah's lap.
Since the nightmare began, the world's climate has been in disarray. Various regions with different deadly weather. Some were filled with deadly ice while some were scotch hot as the sun shines all day without the notion of night appearing and other regions were raining all through.
However, those inside the ark didn't have to worry about all these anomalies. As long as there was a train track leading to the next available station, there wouldn't be any problem.
Thunder cackles in from the distance as black clouds cover the sky, signifying the region was dominated by rain. At the hem of the ark control center, the pilot saw the change in weather and knitted their brow and looked at each other.
"Make the announcement." A young man commanded.
"Alright." A lady dressed in a blue uniform with a red bow tie nodded. She picked up the Mic and took a deep breath.
This was the new introduction by Nasir and Kira. Since the engineering department had fixed the P.A system on the ark. They introduce the announcement and other forms of entailment and gossip. And this was the first opening. Thus, she was nervous.
"Hello, citizens of Genesis and welcome to the voice of the ark. I'm your host for today, Agnes Sellers."
In the various parts of the long huge metal beast, everyone working or talking halted their action and looked at the ceiling where the voice was coming from.
When Nasir and Kira heard the voice, a radiant smile appeared on their faces.
"I told you this would work and liven the dull ark." Kira looked at Nasir with a knowing smile.
"You're always right my queen." He teased.
Contrary to what Nasir expects. Kira nodded and said proudly. "Of course, I will always be right. And as your queen, it is my duty to produce something that enlivens the situation of the ark."
Nasir widened his eyes and stared at the serious look on Kira's face with his mouth ajar. 'What the hell is happening? When the hell did you become our queen.' He cried in his heart.
"We are about to leave the Abyssal Desert region and enter into a new region." Agnese's voice echoed from the P.A system. 𝙛𝙧𝙚𝒆𝘸𝚎𝙗𝒏oν𝙚𝘭.𝐜𝒐m
What! The people were surprised for a couple of seconds before they echoed into joy. Their journey in the desert was a nightmare with the continuous scorching heat and endless dunes.
I hope this region will be normal.
I pray also.
Various prayers echoed from the ark as they waited patiently for the announcement to continue.
"According to our speculation, this region would be dominated by rain. It is a heavy rain region. Hence, all preparation should be made for the change in environment since we don't know what we will encounter on entering the region."
"That's all for now."
Those that were praying for a normal region sighed in dejection.
What kind of shitty would the world turn to!?
They grumbled as they returned to their work while some enjoyed their break.
"Do we have enough money for circulation?" Kira's voice said as she entered Susan's office.
"Yes. With the new batch, we're good to go." Susan said and rubbed her temple from mental exhaustion.
Taking her seat in front of her, Kira fixed her gaze on Susan and smiled. "You should find some time to rest. Since you found Justin leveling up to another realm you have been disconnected."
Susan rolled her eyes and looked at her. "Says who? Don't get me started" She smirked.
"I know…"
They looked at each other and burst into laughter."I have given up on catching up to him or whatnot. As long as I can help him and everyone in any way. That's ok with me." Kira said in a low voice.
Susan took a deep breath and said with a solemn tone. "I've never lost against anyone of the same generation but against him. I don't have a chance at all."
Hahaha.
The two laughed.
"I know I can't be like him but I'll continue to chase after him until my last breath."
"Good for you little sister. I like your competitive nature but me…" She shook her head. "The thought of it gave me a headache. "
"Just admit, you're too lazy."
Hahaha.
"You got me."
Hahaha.
The two most deadly gorgeous on the ark were laughing uncaringly about their manner and body which would give any man a nosebleed if they were to see their action.
"How is the alchemy going?"
"Good. But we lack materials" Kira sighed. "But I hope in this new region, we would find something useful and encounter some beast for an experiment."
"What about you?"
A proud smile appeared on her face. "I'm now a rank 5 basic rune inscription master."
"Really!"
Hmm! Hmm. pan(da-n0vel.c)om
"I'm happy for you. Can I see the wonder of runes?"
"I thought you would never ask?"
Buzz!
A line of golden thread came out her index finger entered a portion of the wall and immediately the wall lit up. Various markings brighten and the temperature inside the room drops a couple of degrees.
After a couple of seconds, the marking on the wall disappeared and the temperature returned to normal. She looked at the stun expression on Kira's face with a proud smile.
"What's that?"
"Elemental rune. To be precise, water element with a variation which turns to ice and ...."
"I get the gist." Kira waves her hand. "That's awesome." She shouted. "Let big sister give you a hug."
"Go away!"
"As if you can escape from my clutch. " She giggled, standing from her seat and approaching her with a wide arm.
"Why did I tell you about the rune in the first place?" She grumbled as she watched her wrap an arm around her head.
"That's it, little sister." A wild grin appeared on her face as she force her head into her bosom.
Sighed. "That's enough…"
"Shut up. I will decide when it's enough or not."
Susan couldn't believe she would be subjected to Kira's command like a kid. She had been the peak of her generation that everyone looked up to. Her mother was the only one that could treat her in such a way but she died too early in her life. Thus she believed she wouldn't have that sort of interaction with any human but here she was in the bosom of a woman who was only a year or two older than her.
"That should be enough for now. When you progress to rank 9 or become a bronze inscriptionist, I will give you another tight hug." Kira released her from her tight hug and grin evilly.
"In your dream."
"Really!" she teased. "I bet you come begging for your big sister's hug."
"Never."
"Miss Kira, can we proceed with the announcement?" Nasir's voice came from outside the door.
"Oh! I've forgotten about it." She slapped her forehead with a bitter smile.
"Forget what?" Susan asked.
"The announcement of the money."
Susan didn't utter a word and looked at Kira, shaking her and clicking her tongue in disdain.
"What!"
"Nothing."
Kira squinted her gaze at Susan for a couple of seconds before she stormed out of the room, leaving her voice behind.
"This isn't over."
A short laugh escaped from Susan's mouth. 'I least I have my revenge.'
Outside the room, Kira looked at Nasir with fury. "Can't you wait for me to come out… hmm?"
"You're spending more time than required and I need to be somewhere else. So what do you expect me to do?"
"Whatever, tell the people that their point will be turned into money" With that, she storms off.
When the news of the new currencies appearing on the ark. It took the ark by storm and the ark was in an uproar. Quickly, the people rushed toward Susan's office to get the new currencies. 𝗳𝗿𝐞ℯ𝙬𝗲𝗯n𝗼νel.𝒄𝑜𝘮
In another part of the ark, impervious to the uproar going on inside the ark. Grandpa Philip was topless with a huge hammer in his hand, sweat dripping from his body.
In front of him was a new forge armor, cooling off. The black armor was lighter and strong.
"Well done. You finally succeeded." John the head of the blacksmithing department said.
"It's not done. It's the most important part."
"Which is?"
"Runes"
Runes?
Everyone inside the room looked at each other not understanding the meaning of runes and why it was so important.
"I hope I'm not late." Chloe's voice came from the entrance.
"Not at all." Grandpa Philip responded with a light smile on his face.
"How strong?"
"This is a basic rank 3 armor and could withstand any attack from second circle or second grade being downward."
Chloe nodded and touched the armor, feeling the level of forging. She was a forger and knew the in and out of blacksmithing. Thus, she was shocked by the most complex intricacies of the armor.
'The technique of the book of knowledge is far ahead of human forging.' She sighed in awe.
"I'll inscribe two runes on it. Strengthen runes and deflection runes. Bringing it to withstand a low-level third circle or third-grade attack."
