Chapter 44 - 35 Emotional Intelligence
This really is the worst news imaginable.
Rod was so surprised that he didn’t notice the sun-drenched, serene atmosphere of the Upper City for a moment.
The air here was clean, the buildings were neatly laid out, and when he looked up, the Black Fog seemed far and high, like a dark cloud on the horizon.
Rod finally felt the atmosphere a normal city should have. On the main street, you could see the occasional pedestrian, vehicles like theirs without horses, bakeries, hat shops, beautiful restaurants, taverns with character, and the stations for the horseless vehicles, as well as the inn without horses next to it.
This was the kind of human city he understood.
Rod saw a group of people standing by a sign by the roadside and blurted out, "You have public... carriages too?"
Lauren’s grey eyes looked at him as if to say, at a time like this, why are you still concerned with this?, but he still explained:
"Of course, the Spirit Car is one of the most important means of transport in the Royal City."
"Is it available in the Lower City District too?"
"Certainly, the Lower City District is dozens of times bigger than the Upper City. It would be very inconvenient without the Spirit Car. However, the public Spirit Car is only available on suitable days in the Lower City District."
Can’t you change the name? The whole city is sitting in the ’Spirit Car’, are you trying to cheat death?
