The World Of Demons And Gods

"What? Ask your sister to transfer her Heavenly moon cultivation technique to you?" Lily's brows rise when she heard Cyrus' solution.

"That's right! Her cultivation technique is the exact opposite of mine!"

"Well, then that's great! However, it'll take a while for you to solve that problem, and for the time being bear with the hassle for now, and since we now know how to deal with that kind of problem, things will get easier now." Lily closed her eyes then faintly sighed while c.a.r.e.s.sing Lynae's face.

Cyrus smiled while nodding and deep inside he's extremely happy because he felt like a huge burden has finally starting to lift up, easing up his mind.

Finally!

…

...

...…

On the train cabin, one of the rooms, Cyrus opened his eyes once again.

He looked outside the window and he noticed that the sky is already dim and stars started to appear on the vast skies.

He stood up from the seat and stretched his back, "Uuu~"

While scratching the back of his head, he looked at the door of his room and went outside of his room. He looked around the hallway of the train and as expected, everything is quiet. The only noise could be heard was the rattle of the train as it sleds on its tracks.

"Oh…" Cyrus heard a voice behind his back and when he looked at the person who went inside just now, it was a female staff. When she noticed him, she gave a respectful smile, "Dear sir, I've noticed that you've been sleeping throughout the day, young master seems to have a stressful trip."

Cyrus could only laugh shyly while scratching the back of his head, well he's not really sleeping but he does look sleeping on his position earlier.

"Would you like some dinner young master? We provide finesse dishes that would satisfy our passengers at a fair price, we also provide excellent wines. Would you like to take an order?" With a respectful tone, she nicely asked Cyrus.

With a smile, Cyrus nodded, "Oh sure, can you give me the menu?"

With a nod, the staff took out a thin menu underneath the cart she brought along and gave it to Cyrus.

"Thank you." Cyrus returned back to his room and sat on the seat.

Browsing the menu on his hand and what he looked out first was, of course, the prices!

"N-Nani!? (What!?)"

To his shock, these foods were all cheap! Dirt cheap!

Seeing the prices, he was almost got chocked by his abrupt action. And seeing his reaction, the staff couldn't help to giggle, and she seemed to find Cyrus quite cute. With his appearance that seemed fierce, yet his actions are one of those shy kids, she couldn't help to adore Cyrus.

"As you can see, our prices were cheap compared to the dishes of Annesly kingdom, this was due to the fact that this train belongs to one of the companies on Alexandra kingdom, there all of the products and services we're all reasonable and can be considered cheap in Annesly's standard." She briefly explained.

"Woah, that's cool." Having experienced the traumatizing prices back on the kingdom, he felt that this is heaven's blessing.

With his eyes shining, he looked on the most expensive food on the menu and to his shock again, it only costs fifteen yellow crystal tablets! It may sound cheap, but this dish is a freaking set of meal!

A chef's choice of prime ribs!

A variety of vegetables!

A cold and vanilla like Ice cream!

And most importantly, a popular dish throughout the entire Alexandra kingdom, an inverted pizza! It looked like a bun on the outer appearance however the contents inside and the taste is the one like on the pizza! This dish is called… Bunzzo! (Bun + pizza, get it?)

"Then, I'll order this." He pointed on the dish and the staff quietly took the order and before leaving she nicely took the menu and left by saying, "Have a great time! It'll take 20-30 minutes."

And Cyrus responded with a soft and brilliant smile at the staff that made her heart skipped. (Ma boy, Cyrus can make girls drop their p.a.n.t.i.e.s!)

Cyrus didn't know the impact he made on the heart of the staff and started cultivating as soon as the staff went out.

…

*Knock*Knock*

Cyrus opened his eyes and quickly opened the door of his room, and noticed that this time, it was a male staff.

"This is your order sir." He lightly smiled on Cyrus.

"Ah thank you, this is the payment for the dish." He gave yellow crystals on the staff and took the dish inside. With a bow, the staff went out after saying, "Enjoy your meal sir." Before closing the door quietly.

Cyrus with a happy impression on his face, he walks on great stride and sat comfortably on the seat and opened the foldable table on the wall.

He opened the lid of the food and to his shock, he was deeply fascinated by how similar the dishes on the menu and the dish itself on his front.

Soon, the aroma of the dish engulf the entire room of his cabin, and as soon as the aroma entered through his nostrils, he couldn't help to be delighted with his saliva almost dripping from his mouth.

To prevent the dish from getting rubbery, he quickly ate everything.

…

...

...…

Minutes have passed, he completely cleaned the plate and chugs his citrus drink, with a satisfying burp, he tapped his stomach, "Damn, that was a good one."

"Wow, I've never thought that you're a heavy eater, seeing you pigging out like that." Lily's voice suddenly rang out to his mind.

"Hahaha, well it's better to eat it fast!"

"Whatever." Lily sighed before continuing, "Could you introduce this Alexandra kingdom?" she asked with curiosity.

To Lily, her curiosity stems from the train itself. Because throughout her life she had never seen such technology, in fact, this kind of technology fascinated Lily.

"Huh? Oh sure! Though my knowledge about this kingdom is quite few, I'll tell you." Cyrus smiled while cleaning the plates and stacking it.

Back in the village, Cyrus has almost read every history books, from culture to geography of the kingdom!

Coughing lightly, Cyrus began explaining.

The name Alexandra itself was from the goddess named, well… Alexandria, she was a goddess of knowledge and strength. She built the kingdom from stones to industrialized kingdom with her knowledge and defended the kingdom with strength powered by her knowledge. Trillions of years had passed this kingdom was still alive and well, it became one of the most powerful kingdoms in the continent of Celestia.

It ranked five, and the size itself if it was compared to the countries on earth, it'll be double the size of Russia. The geography of this kingdom is ranging from plains, valleys, and surrounded by mountains on its borders. The kingdom is like a Victorian era but still mixed with Medieval era, meaning this country is already in industrialization stage, the power they used isn't electricity but an artificial anima that powers everything in the kingdom.

Since the southern academy is located just above the skies somewhere in the kingdom, it greatly influenced the academy. And since entering the southern academy is by landing on the ground in the Alexandria kingdom, southern kingdoms travel to Alexandria kingdom which also benefits the kingdom by trading, businesses, and most importantly the enrollees of the economy that also benefits the kingdom, so its economy is continuously growing and blooming.

Alexandria pursues knowledge before applying it to their strength, so they invest more in technology or research and development than the other sectors of the government in Alexandra kingdom. And so, their military is no exception for being a top tier, every foot soldiers are knight rank and not only they use swords, but they have also ranged weapon, in fact, this weapon shocked Cyrus, because this weapon is guns!

However, the major difference is that, rather than using black powder to push the metal projectile out of the casing of the bullet they use a crystalized anima instead! Even the projectile itself is a very special concentrated anima which can be lethal to anyone who got shot by it, there are many varieties of bullets, the higher the rank of the opponent the rarest and expensive the bullets are.

That's why bullets are not very practical when using it to powerful individuals.

It was also no wonder why the Annesly kingdom lost to this kingdom and did not last long when Alexandria kingdom started expanding their borders a bit on Annesly kingdom which also lead to the dying kingdom of Annesly gone messy.

After explaining to Lily everything he knows about the Alexandria kingdom, Lily's reactions was that she finds it really interesting, "Really interesting, it seems that this country is going to be fun to explore around."

Cyrus nodded, "Right?"

Lily didn't say anything and cut off their conversation as she returned to her egg and started transferring her anima towards her baby, while Cyrus started to cultivate as a form of sleeping for him.

…

...

...…

Night has finally passed, the sun started to finally rose on the horizon and the small flying demi-beast have also started finding their prey for their meal. The air was cold and the fragrance of the nature on the surrounding was soothing to the feelings.

On the southern part of the kingdom of Alexandra, in the second state, there was a town. A town where people are very lively and have already woken up from their beds and doing their daily chores and routines, there, a special building where the volume of people are very high, this building is a train station.

At the train station, many people had gathered ranging from workers, travelers, and families that are waiting for certain people. If you flew above the station you will notice a great green plain and there you could see a long track of railways, and soon enough you'll see a slowing train approaching the train station.

As the train has finally arrived at the station, all the train doors opened at the same time and passengers inside the cabins of the train started flooding to the station. Multiple voices and sounds echoed through the surroundings, some are selling their stuff, some are shouting, laughter and crying. It was a lively environment here in the station.

Soon enough, one of the passenger with an average figure of a teenage man, with his fierce look and c.h.e.s.tnut hair color, his skin were fair and smooth that could make girls bit their fingers out of jealousy and this young man is undoubtedly a handsome man yet despite the appearance, he carries an itchy aura radiating from his body.

This person is no other than Cyrus as he welcomed the air of the town, however,

"*Cough, cough*" He coughed due to the air pollution in this town is slightly polluted but as soon as he adjusted his sense of smell returned to normal.

Wiping his mouth, he took a brochure from his pocket that he took inside the train for enrollees in the academy, "Now that I'm here, the guide says that it would take ten days to travel to the academy's landing site depending on my travel means. If by horse, it would be dramatically reduced depending on the speed of my travel. Huh." He muttered to himself silently before looking at the surroundings outside the station.

He walked outside the station and noticed that the architecture of the buildings and houses on the surrounding were exactly a European style architecture, not only that even the roads are stone paved and there are road lamps.

He finally noticed that the people here compared to the people on the forsaken country of Annesly, the people here are much more refined and have a bit more novelty aura radiating from them. Their postures were straight, their clothing was fancy, and their manners are extremely noble and if one looks at Cyrus if his handsome appearance is ignored, he would look like a poor plebian, and it's obvious to tell that he is a commoner.

The surrounding are wet because of the rain last night, and the air condition here are slightly horrible due to sewer fumes are all over the air.

Soon, Cyrus went downstairs of the station and walked on the streets, the people around here are all humans, as far as Cyrus could sense, there are only limited people around here that are demi-humans and their strength are nothing to be considered if it was concerning on Cyrus' safety.

The people are all busy, and every building on the side of the streets are full of businesses, ranging from clothes store, markets, jewelry, bakery, and butchery. There are even blacksmiths and weapon shop are hidden on the alleyways.

As Cyrus walked on the streets silently while walking around with great interest as he looked around, he finally found a police station. He's finding this station because he would like to ask for some directions. And this station is located in the middle of the town wherein the middle there's a fountain and it was surrounded by buildings.

Cyrus went inside the building and people around are all busy and papers could be seen around.

"Oi, young lad, what are you looking for?" A voice rang out on the side of Cyrus.

Cyrus looked at the person and he noticed it was a policeman on the side sitting on his chair while eating his butter toast and of course, there's a tea.

"Sir, could you please tell me where do I get a ride to get to the Alexus city?" Cyrus nicely asked with a smile on his face.

"There are no rides available for the common folks here and the only means of travel here are walking, the only ones who could get a ride is high officials or rich people." The policeman casually responds before drinking his tea.

'Oh man, this is a problem…' Cyrus thought to himself before sighing in disappointment.

*Bang!*

Suddenly someone barged the door and a frail-looking policeman came running towards the policeman in front of Cyrus, his face is full of sweat.

"Capt'n we have a problem! A bunch of chaps is robbing the Kunis store! And the problem is they're demi-humans!" He shouted.

Hearing this made the toast from his mouth fell to the ground and sweat began to appear on the forehead of the policeman on the table, he couldn't help to abruptly stand up,

"Bloody hell! Demi-humans?! Those f*cking wankers are at it again?!" He was mad but at the same time, nervous as he doesn't know how to deal with these abnormal people.

(He's a normal human by the way. To regular humans' demi-humans are abnormal while to demi-humans regular humans are much more abnormal to their eyes.)
