53 Kara City (1/2)
'Finally! Traces of settlement! I'll land nearby and ask the people here. We've flown a few hundred miles into Kystra so it would be surprising if there wasn't any settlement armed with military power.'
Not having some sort of defence at the border would be odd, to say the least, for an aspiring nation such as Kystra. Nero landed down to the ground with some experience and begin to move with great speed through the woods, the sounds of his footsteps matching to a fast 4-beat metronome.
Not long later, after furrowing past the unusually normal forest a clearing came with country houses patched here and there. In the dying light, smoke from a few chimneys wafting out started to show.
This was the countryside of Kara, the empty cleared land was either being reared or being used for agriculture. Of course, Nero did not know of the city's name but he knew he was in something like the countryside.
By the time the trio of moons hung overhead, Nero had reached the deeper portion of Kara.
The city was based on plain lands and, much like cities on plains, had low rising buildings that were spotted in blocks.
The need for solid road was little, grazed land with little dust and rain gave the place great living conditions. What Nero had never expected was that the cityscape was refined much like a city from Earth in the 2000s!
Well-roofed houses, corner shops, big retail stores! Quite a hit it was for Nero once again finding such an excellent replication of Earth.
'Oh my GOD, are those cars? What the fuck is this design?! Slick is not the first word that comes to mind holy shit!' Nero looked at a vehicle shaped similar to the head of a steam engine train while cursing at its awful look.
Thankfully, it didn't give out nearly the same amount of noise or steam from its snout. All it did was smoothly sail across the even land while the passerby stopped in their tracks to glare at the vehicle in envy.
”That's an Automobile! I'm so jealous of this rich brat that's probably having the time of his life in there!”
Auto-carriages were usually the norm before an inventor name Joy Windell shocked the world with blueprints of a new type of transportation, an Automobile!
With the funding he received from his pitch, he even established a production factory 2 years ago. However, since production needed a long time for each of these vehicles, only 23 exist!
Kara City has 3 of these seen on streets, all of them owned by the richest of the rich, the top one percent of the top one percent.
The onlookers were filled with intense jealousy whereas Nero was ridiculing with great contempt at whoever rode that disgustingly created object.
'At least its fast, seems like the engine is well designed at least, for this era of course. On Earth, cruising at Mach 1 was the very minimum for me.'
With Nero's ability and knowledge, he could any day build a land vehicle far greater in terms of speed, efficiency, and most of all, design.
