Princess Danaphine pursed her lips. She wondered why it seemed like she was being scolded by her father. She looked at Blake and bumped into him. Not saying a word as she did. She had just wondered why this man next to her seemed so easy to talk to. She had never spoken about her dreams to know one really except her family, and here she was telling Blake about her dreams.
Blake looked at the princess next to him, who had her head lowered and a small smile on her lips. He could only sigh. He wondered if Lillia and the rest would kill him for bringing home another princess. He could already hear the faint cackling of a certain fairy. He did not really want to be picked on as a princess picker anymore. But he knew as time went on, he might just end up taking in more which he could easily handle, but he wondered when it would stop.
"We are here…." A few hours later, they arrived at the outskirts of the newly built outer city. "Welcome to the Great City Of Janavine."
Princess Danaphine's eyes were filled with pride. She looked up at Blake with a bright smile. "Come, I will give you a tour as we make our way to the castle."
Blake's hand was grabbed and pulled along by the excited princess. He looked over at her knights with a helpless expression. He could see the exhaustion in their eyes. It seemed they had gone through a lot since way before they even met. But Princess Danaphine's action reminded him of Nanaya. He began wondering how those two were doing since they were trying to shore up defenses both at home and in the astral plane.
He was hoping that maybe they could somehow augment their bodies using the cybernetics of Princess Danaphine's people and magic. With the information on how it all works, he might be able to strengthen his body past that of even the gods. After all, they were not even a magic based society but already had means of creating new techno life from technology and even making it possible for people's bodies to become artificial. While during the time before the apocalypse, the people of Earth were moving in this direction. He had no idea if they could create life from that was half biological, half machine.
As he looked around, he could see the same lines in all the buildings as the trees outside. Everything here was not built by hand but seemed to be the creation of the same thing as the trees and even the grass underfoot. "Are all these things grown?"
"Hmm? Oh! Good eye! Yes, the houses here are all planted using the same method as the trees but tweaked to grow a house instead. Cyber seeds can be used for many different things. But certain things like machines that need certain systems built for it are impossible at this time. Whether it could be done in the future is unknown as of yet. But I hear a few groups are working on mas produced Armored Knights that can be grown in a few days. My father has been giving them funding because if they can succeed it will bolster our forces against the cyber beasts by a lot and will be useful in other areas as well." Princess Danaphine explained.
"I see… Such a thing would be amazing." Blake had to admit if they could do such a thing it would truly be fascinating. But just by the fact that they can grow houses was already amazing enough.
"Well with you around we would no longer need them for cyber beasts but if they can still be made to be built for the devils as you called them. But it seems they will need to be much more powerful than before." Princess Danaphine was still worried about the things that Blake had told her about. She hoped that she would not run into any of these devils anytime soon. She wanted her city and her people to be ready for such a confrontation at all costs.
"I do not think you will be coming across any, anytime soon. They were going west so it will take them time before they reach out this far again. That is if they send anyone out over the water. Even I only stumbled upon the landmass here that was never here before. So it goes to say that you might not have to worry about it for a year or so." Blake had no idea how quickly the devils will spread out and consolidate the areas they claim. But he did hope that it would be at a slow pace. The peace and quiet they had now was good and he did not wish to give it up to quickly.
"Let's hope that is true." Princess Danaphine gave a small smile but it was obvious that she was still worried.
They continued walking through the area and Blake took all the sights in. He wished he could ask the fine details of everything he saw so he could understand how they worked but he did not do so. He saw robots and humans living side by side which was very curious to him. "You have robots here?"
"Robots? Do you mean the Sentilias? They are a race of artificial intelligence. They were created during the war and given high intelligence. You can say that before humans began merging with machines they were the smartest beings on the planet. During the great revolution of the Sentilia uprising, they did not have the same rights as humans. But now they live side by side with humans and even intermarry. It is not strange to see a Sentilia and Human together." Princess Danaphine looked at her the people of her land and saw how carefree they were being and hopped this would never change.
"It must have been rough getting this far but it is really amazing."
