Dimension Weaver: My Wife Is The Dragon Empress!

Chapter 275 - 275- Sky Seekers Guild (Part 2)

The two left the inn after bidding the old woman farewell and headed into the main street. At this time, the city was already bustling with movement, as usual. Even though the weather was extremely hot, people didn't seem that bothered by it.

In fact, Talon couldn't see anyone who was actually sweating or even showing a sign of being affected by heat. That was naturally odd since most of these people were mundane and didn't have strong bodies to fight the heat. Even he struggled with that to some extent.

As he walked, Talon kept eyeing the people around him silently. That naturally caught Emino's attention.

"Looking at people too much might be a tad bit rude, Talon." He said jokingly.

"Hm? Oh, yeah, I know. I was just curious about something." The latter replied as he shook his head.

"And that is? Tell me, I might have the answer."

"The way people seem unbothered by the hot weather. I was just wondering how that is." He said. "Do they all have very good heat tolerance?"

"Oh! You didn't know?" The man asked with a raised eyebrow. "It's because of the clothes." He said as he pointed at his own attire.

"The clothes?"

"Everyone in the city... Well, almost everyone in the city wears specially made clothes. They are imbued with Aetheris to help keep the body cold and reduce the heat. They are very convenient in our weather and they could even warm you up during the night when the temperature drops." The man said with a smile.

"Oh, really?" Looking down at his own shirt, Talon could only feel curious. If a bunch of clothes can really have such a convenient feature, then he wanted it for himself.

'Though, now that I think about it. Aren't these people very good when it comes to using Aetheris to make things? There are the sky seeker wings, the weapons, and now the clothes. How are they this advanced?'

From an outsider's viewpoint, it was certainly abnormal. They weren't simply creating special artifacts for battles or transport, even things as simple as heat-regulating clothes were being made and are common enough that everyone in the city wears them.

'I really need to look into further.' He noted down in his head.

"If you want, once you settle down, we can bring you to some clothing stores to buy some for yourself and your little brother. They aren't that expensive." He said.

"I would appreciate that," Talon replied as he finally looked up. As they were walking, the gigantic blue tower finally grew close to them.

Arching his neck to the extreme, Talon was still unable to see the top of it from this angle. Somehow, this massive structure looked even more ridiculous than it already was before.

'I doubt such a building could exist on earth. The tallest one isn't even 1/4th of this thing.' He thought to himself.

Then, his eyes went down a little and he noticed multiple individuals flying over their heads using the flying gear. Many of them landed in front of the blue tower while others took off from there, seemingly leaving the city.

If the ground was bustling with mundane humans, then the sky was bustling with Sky Seekers. It was as if they had their own society up there. All because this tower exists.

"Welcome to the Sky Seekers guild!" Stepping ahead of him, Emino stretched his hands as he said with a grin. "The start of everything and the beacon of hope in this world."

"..." Talon blinked in surprise before he nodded his head. 'Very much a beacon, yeah.' He thought to himself as he remembered what Arryn told him.

Even in a completely different dimension, humans still loved to do atrocities and hide them behind glamorous fronts. It was itched into the very nature of the human being.

"This might be your new workplace, so we gotta make sure you know everything before you take a decision. Let's get inside." Emino said as he turned around and started walking.

Talon followed him as they approached the main gates of the tower. On the way, many Sky Seekers who were clearly getting ready to leave greeted him. Some joked, and some showed respect.

Talon watched how Emino conversed with them. The man seemed very popular amongst the Sky Seekers.

'I guess his position is considered high as the captain of squad six...' He thought to himself as the two finally passed the swarm of Sky Seekers and passed through the gates. Immediately, Talon was met with a cold gush of wind that made him shudder a little.

'Wow, now this is a cold place.' Looking around him, he found himself inside a rather spacious room that looked like a reception area of a hotel, except far bigger and far more complex.

Many Sky Seekers and workers alike moved on their way, clearly busy with work. It was very lively inside this place.

"What do you think?" Emino asked.

"It looks pretty... intense," Talon replied without knowing what to say. But, that was a good way of describing it. The entire place felt very tense and urgent even though there didn't seem to be anything urgent to do. In a sense, it was like a police station.

"Haha! You will grow familiar with the intensity soon! Everyone here likes to work fast. That's probably one of the reasons why we flourished." Emino laughed loudly.

"..."

With that, the two walked through the swarms of people and reached the reception desk. There, a few people were attending to visitors with patient smiles. Exhaustion was clear on their faces but they were very good at hiding it.

Waiting in line, Talon heard bits and pieces of the conversation happening between the visitor and the receptionist.

"What do you mean there are no more batches for the day?! I have waited for hours here!" Slamming his hand on the table, the man yelled angrily.

"Sir, please calm down. As I said, other merchants have already bought the entire stock for the day since yesterday. They have paid extra." She replied with a troubled expression.

"That is greedy! We are trying to make a living here, goddammit!"

"Please, calm down or I will have to call the guards to escort you out." The woman finally said with a serious tone.

"Oh, of course, kicking a customer out! What a great service!! I'm leaving! I will come back tomorrow and there better be goods I can buy!"

"..."

With that, the man turned around and stormed his way out of the building with a terrifying look on his face. Talon stared at him confusedly. 'Someone has trouble controlling their anger.' He thought to himself as he stepped forward.

He and Emino were the next in line.

"Sigh..." The receptionist rested her head on her hand as she rubbed her temples.

"Good morning, Kal," Emino said as he put his hands on the table.

"Oh, good morning, Emino." The woman said as she looked up tiredly.

"A rough day?" He asked as he looked behind him.

"Oh, please, don't start. He is the fifth angry customer we had today. This 'Pay extra, get it early' policy has been a huge pain in the bum since it was applied." She said. "We, the receptionists get the short end of the stick every time while others get money in their pockets."

"... Yeah, it is bad. We might need to talk with the higher-ups about it. It won't work for long. Some people need to sell meat to earn a living." He said.

"Tsk, it is what it is. So, what brought you here today? Didn't you take a few days off?" She asked confusedly as she finally noticed the young man standing next to Emino.

"Haha! I brought a new friend of mine here with a big chance of him joining the Sky Seekers guild." He said.

"A friend?" Looking at Talon for a few moments, she said. "An unfamiliar face?"

"He had arrived in the city yesterday. I saw some good potential in him and so I wanted to snatch him before he found another job and wasted his talent." He said.

'Why does he sound like a talent scout now?' Talon shook his head.

"Well, why not? Welcome, uh..."

"Talon. Nice to meet you." Snapping out of it, Talon introduced himself.

"Nice to meet you, I'm Kal." She replied. "So, you said you wanted to join the Sky Seekers guild?"

"That is the plan. But, I still don't know much about this establishment and would like to learn more before I can make a decision." He said.

If there was one thing Talon wanted to know more about, it was whether the Guild did mention its attempts to try and attack the Divine Piercer. From what he can see, nobody is aware that Arryn's race even exists.

Perhaps the Azurians were a mere myth or perhaps they knew they existed and simply chose to ignore the massacres conducted against them.

Both situations were really bad. So, he wanted to know more about this place first. If he can truly see a way of making a change, he will do it. Even if that meant destroying this entire place. As far as he was concerned, a rotten organization was just a horrible parasite that needed to be killed before it did anything worse. That is if it didn't already do the worst atrocities imaginable.

'It depends on how much I will benefit from that, though.' He mused.
