BXBX NOVEL Chapter 73 Regal World
At nighttime, three silhouettes descend a few meters away from the inescapable wall.
"Finally, we are out of the slum district!" Rita's elated voice rang as she looked at the huge wall with complicated emotions.
Cyrus, who was somewhat pale because of constantly using Qi for over six hours to climb that wall while carrying the three ladies, was also looking at the wall with a hint of joy. But he was quite good at hiding his emotions, unlike Rita.
Cyrus looked at Hilda beside him and asked, "Where to now? Which is the closest inhabited place?"
Hilda was like a guild for them since he didn't know anything about this world besides dimensions.
Hilda was at a loss for words since she also had no idea about the terrains of this place because it was also her first time appearing here. She never expected to meet someone like Cyrus and then leave her Uncle's side.
Furthermore, since she left in a hurry, she didn't get to pack up a few necessities for her travels, and the only thing she had in her space ring was her weapon, some clothes, medicines, magic items, and some money.
"I don't know much about this barren area. But I do know that place is within the Cloudless Country. Which is controlled by one of the ten overseer clans, the Cloudless Clan of Cloudless Sky Temple Dimension.
"There should be a city as long as we pass this forest. I saw it when I was flying here. As long as we find the city, we can buy a map of Regal Planet from any Magic Union Branch." She suggested with a hint of uncertainty.
'She knew more about dimensions than her own world?' Cyrus was amused when he saw felt Hilda's uncertainty.
"Alright, then we should do as you suggest. Even if we don't find anything, we'll be fine as long as we encounter any living being. We'll also start your cultivation while traveling." Cyrus nodded.
Hilda's eyes shimmered with anticipation when she heard 'cultivation' since she heard Rita talking about it with Cyrus. So, she guessed that it was a unique magic system they followed. But she didn't ask as she knew Cyrus would not keep her waiting for long, and she wasn't wrong about it as well.
"Umm… Sister Hilda, can you tell me more about Regal Planet and this country?" Rita spoke at this moment with some hesitation.
Although they had settled their dispute, it still remained to see if they had buried the hatchet or not.
They didn't talk much when they were walking for four hours, but now Rita was quite curious about the world outside, and hearing Hilda reveal some vague clues about the world, she couldn't contain her curiosity.
Hilda looked at Rita coldly, and it was unknown what she was thinking, but she was quite startled for a second when she heard Rita calling her sister. It was the first time a stranger had called her by this intimate title. Moreover, she still didn't reveal her face, and Cyrus nor Rita didn't push this matter either.
After a moment of silence, she nodded, "Alright."
Cyrus chimed in with a smile, "I'm also curious about this world as well. How about this? You guys should be hungry now after walking for hours, especially you, Hilda. You didn't have any magic power left, and even if you had, magic power can't alleviate hunger as Qi does.
"So, let's find prey to hunt while you tell us about this world, and in returned, Rita will give you an introduction to cultivation."
Hilda's eyes brightened, and she quickly agreed, "It's a deal!"
Rita also didn't mind. On the contrary, she was feeling quite prideful like a senior who was about to teach her junior, especially when the junior was former Unique, and she was former Ordinary.
Hilda then didn't waste any time as she explained about the Regal Planet, which was the name of this world even before the dimensions appeared while they walked in the lust forest.
Before the appearance of the dimensions, the Regal Planet was divided into eight large continents surrounded by the ocean. They were inhabited by humans and were under the bureaucracy or democracy of many countries.
However, the entire system crumbled when the dimensions appeared in all parts of the world, and many lives were lost since just pulling in the dimensions was akin to a death sentence.
But things started to change when temple dimensions appeared, and humans again started to regain control over the world as well as those deadly dimensions.
However, a new system was implemented instead of the old one. At that time, the population of the ordinaries and BODs was still quite larger than the Uniques.
But everyone knew the Uniques were the true future of humanity, so a power system that revolved around the Uniques was placed. The Magic Union was founded by the first three overseer clans of the first three temple dimensions.
The Union quickly drew almost all the Uniques within their ranks and quickly regained the full support of humanity as a whole, as they were looked upon like saviors by everyone.
The Magic Union was the home of the Uniques and the protector of humanity at that time. The three overseer clans became Three Union Overseers, and it was the highest authority title of the Magic Union.
Anyone who became an overseer clan could receive a Union Overseer seat and authority to participate in the important decision of humanity's future.
But at that time, those founders probably hadn't thought that more temple dimensions would be opened and create more overseer clans. But they couldn't take back the founding rule just because they felt like it, so to this day, the three original founder overseer clans become ten.
The Union Overseer seat became the highest seat of power which was inherited by the Clan Head of the generation, and Hilda was the only hire of the Silver Wing Union Overseer and fully qualified to inherit that position.
Besides the unshakable Union Overseer Rank, anyone could join the Union as long as they could use magic power and could climb their ranks while doing missions in dimensions and get rewards from the Union like a mercenary guild.
The ranks were Common Member, Rare Member, Experienced Member, Epic Member, Unique Member, and then there was Union Lord Rank which was only below the Union Overseer and above everyone else.
These members' ranks were also distributed according to the power ranking system of the Regal Planet provided by the ten temples. Here, First Class Sorcerer was known as Common Sorcerer, the second class known as rare, while the third class, like Hilda, was known as Experienced Sorceress and all way to the sixth-class sorcerer who was known as Sorcerer Lords and also was rank of the Union Lords.
This was the highest magic realm humanity had achieved in five hundred years.
Anyhow, today, the Regal Planet was again completely under the control of humanity but with major changes.
The Regal Planet's original eight continents were now turned into five, and each continent has three temple dimensions. Two were overseers' temples, while one was the public temple with only basic knowledge, and they were hundreds of miles apart from each other.
No one knows if this was systematic or not, but this helps divide the area quite easily.
Now, in five continents, there were ten Union Overseer Countries that managed almost everything. A country was divided into Core Region, Inner Region, and Outer Region.
The cities in these regions were also divided into third grade, second grade, and first grade. The first grade is the highest, while the third is the lowest.
In the center of these regions was the Temple City, with the richest magic energy density.
The third-grade cities in the outer region were the furthest away from the temple cities, while the first-grade in the core region was closest. The Temple Cities were closed off to non-members of the ten families, and only those empty temple cities were opened, but only for Rare Rank Members.
Nevertheless, as long as someone with Experienced Member Rank passed the entrance test of the ten clans, they can gain access to their temple cities, and upon reaching the Epic rank, they can even go into temple dimensions.
While Rita was fascinated by all this new novel information which was straight out of fantasy to her, Cyrus wasn't surprised because, for him, this system was like sects of the cultivation words.
"What about the reaming three continents? Did they get destroyed?" He was more interested in this.
Hilda shook her head and gravely replied, "No. Didn't I tell you there are Unknown Rank Dimensions? The reason we called them Unknown is that we have no idea about their exact rank and their power level, and they are too strange.
"They have existed since the very start of the dimension era, and to this day, there are only three Unknown Rank Dimensions, and all of them are continent-wide dimensions!"
