Abyss Sequence-Chapter 355 - 12: The Meeting

"Meet Suniya."

Yan Luo introduced Wang Lingyu to the elf sitting in the passenger seat, then introduced Wang Lingyu to Suniya: "This is my girlfriend, Wang Lingyu."

Suniya took off her gas mask and turned to look back, seeing a full-body exoskeleton armor.

Fortunately, she now knew that this armor was standard for humans and wouldn’t mistake humans wearing exoskeletons for some new type of demon, as she did the first time she saw one.

Suniya’s ears twitched, and she happily laughed: "Hello, I’m Suniya!"

Hidden beneath her visor, Wang Lingyu’s eyes glared at Suniya as she spoke in a muffled voice: "I’m Wang Lingyu, Yan Luo’s lover!"

With the help of translation plugins, as long as Wang Lingyu wore the exoskeleton, even if she spoke in Chinese, the exoskeleton’s speaker could translate her words into Elvish.

Similarly, when the elf spoke in Elvish, it would transform into Chinese upon reaching Wang Lingyu’s ears.

After many rounds of feedback from users like Sasa, engineers worked with translators on several modifications. Now, the translation plugin could handle daily conversations smoothly, despite struggling with some obscure and complicated sentences.

After greeting Wang Lingyu and saying hello to Sasa, Suniya turned to Yan Luo, happily swinging her legs and chatteringly chatting away.

"You haven’t come for so long. Were you doing something in the middle courtyard? If it’s something important, you don’t have to tell me. I happened to be patrolling here, preparing to return to Gass City when I heard a loud noise, so I ran over to see what was happening and found you all. Since we happened to meet, I thought you’d give me a lift to return to Gass City faster."

Wang Lingyu turned off the translation plugin and chatted with Sasa on a local network: "What’s with this woman? Why’s she so close to Yan Luo?"

Sasa then narrated how Yan Luo and Suniya met to Wang Lingyu.

The more Wang Lingyu listened, the deeper her frown grew.

She didn’t expect Yan Luo and Suniya to have become acquainted through a fight. Moreover, the shotgun Suniya held used to be Yan Luo’s weapon.

Judging from Suniya’s current attitude, she seemed to hold an admiration for Yan Luo, which made Wang Lingyu alert.

While she was okay with having women around Yan Luo, any woman wanting to get close should have her approval as the official girlfriend.

And this elf...

Wang Lingyu squinted her eyes, silently calculating some matters in her mind.

Yan Luo and Suniya chatted intermittently as the convoy soon reached the barrier surrounding Gass City.

Respecting the city’s dignity, the convoy stopped outside the barrier.

Soon, an elf farmer emerged, waving to the convoy, leading Yan Luo to drive the armored vehicle to follow the elf inside.

The convoy filed in, and soon the forest returned to its usual tranquility.

Passing through the barrier, vast fields and a towering city wall suddenly appeared before Wang Lingyu’s eyes.

This place truly was breathtaking!

The elf farmers had already grown accustomed to the human caravans since every arrival brought ’earth-shattering’ changes to Gass City—for elves who experienced little change over decades or centuries, the human caravans indeed brought ’earth-shattering’ transformations.

The convoy drove along a wide main road towards the city gates, where prepared guards had already opened them for entry.

Were this Blue Star, these guards would face reproach or even dismissal for such actions.

They hadn’t confirmed identities yet; merely seeing the appearance led them to open the gates, which was quite outrageous.

But this was Alfheim, the world where elves lived.

Elves were indeed lax, and the guards wouldn’t face dismissal, not even basic reprimands.

However, saying they were utterly lacking in scheming wasn’t entirely accurate.

Elves seldom engaged in small plots, as such exchanges were terribly inefficient, and with their generally simple nature, there really wasn’t any need.

Wang Lingyu didn’t bother pondering much. Seeing the gates opening ahead, her gaze followed through the wide-open gates into the city.

What she saw left Wang Lingyu slightly disappointed.

Elves didn’t live in trees; their houses weren’t all wooden. Many were stone and brick constructions.

However, the styles of elven houses all looked similar, yet they added various decorations to differentiate themselves from the ordinary.

Gass City had specially built warehouses and parking lots near the Lord’s Mansion for human caravans’ trucks.

Since elves were a naturally spellcasting race, when they focused, their efficiency was exceedingly high.

Yan Luo drove towards the lodging elves prepared for the human caravan, and Suniya got off midway as her home was quite far from the human convoy’s accommodation.

When the armored vehicle reached the parking lot in front of the residence, Wang Lingyu opened the door and hopped out, looking around.

"So this is Gass City..." Wang Lingyu murmured as she gazed at the surroundings.

She had heard Sasa describe Gass City, sparking curiosity about the city long before.

But upon seeing it now, Gass City didn’t seem all that magical.

Over at the warehouse, the Lord’s Mansion employees responsible for liaising with the convoy sought out the caravan’s accountant to discuss how much Gass City needed to pay for desired goods this time around.

There was no denying that introducing sewing machines had improved Gass City’s trade deficit with Blue Star, making the Lord of Gass City see the power of ’industrialization’ more clearly and resolve to accelerate Gass City’s industrialization.

Only by industrializing not just Gass City but all of Alfheim could they reverse the situation of Alfheim becoming a dumping ground for human caravan goods.

Unfortunately, the Lord of Gass City didn’t realize he’d fallen into a trap set by Wu Zechuan, nor knew when he’d wake up from it.

At this moment, Yan Luo and his group carried their luggage into the large house prepared for the human caravan, each heading to their previously occupied rooms.

The house still had several vacant rooms, but Sasa directly arranged Yan Luo and Wang Lingyu in one room.

They were a couple, and Wang Lingyu was clingy, reluctant to leave Yan Luo’s side, so putting them in the same room wouldn’t require Wang Lingyu to shuttle between two rooms.

This time, the convoy brought more intelligent machines to Alfheim.

They had to stay here for a period every couple of weeks; given that, why not make life more comfortable?

Not long after settling in, they received a visit request from Julia.

This time, Julia wasn’t accompanied by Suniya, arriving here alone.

Sasa sent an intelligent machine to greet her and led Julia to the reception room.

Initially, Wang Lingyu planned to stay in the room but insisted on going along upon hearing the name ’Julia.’ She deduced it was a woman, and wanted to follow.

No harm letting her go, since Yan Luo had nothing he needed to conceal from Wang Lingyu now.

After waiting in the reception room for a short while, Julia hurried in.

Just entering the door, Julia saw Yan Luo sitting on the sofa, her eyes lighting up.

Seeing Julia’s expression, alarms went off in Wang Lingyu’s mind.

This female elf was tall, almost 1.9 meters. Standing beside Yan Luo, she might look more fitting than herself.

Though Wang Lingyu wasn’t short at 1.75 meters, standing next to the 1.87-meter-tall Julia made her appear less impressive.

Not only was Julia tall, she had a good figure—sleek curves, graceful.

Yan Luo glanced at Julia and said indifferently, "Sasa has already told me of your matter."

Upon hearing this, Julia’s face blushed slightly, asking, "Have you agreed to provide me with holy blood? Would you have me become your concubine and bear a strong offspring with both Saint and elf bloodlines?"

Eh?

Wang Lingyu paused for a moment, quickly turning to look at Sasa.

This was something Sasa hadn’t mentioned!

Sasa slapped his face, sighed helplessly.
