Chapter 861 Walking Around Asharia
Walking around the city with Nan Tian besides her, Shiro navigated her tablet and checked up on all the available information.
Right now, they were making their way to the military so that Shiro could have a look at the situation herself. After all, it was different seeing things in person and seeing it on a screen.
Only when she saw them in person would she be certain of their capabilities. Plus, she needed to start preparing them for mech training as that would make up a large portion of their military in the new age.
"Hmm… most of the shops around this district are focused on selling foods and daily necessities and there is little to no adventurer gear such as potions and weapons. Perhaps we should name this street on the map so that people can find it easier." Shiro muttered.
"Mn what should we even call it?" Nan Tian asked as Shiro paused for a moment.
"Who knows, I'm not exactly great with naming. Maybe we can call this place the non adventurer shopping street?" Shiro joked as Nan Tian laughed.
"Pft what kind of name is that?" He asked as Shiro shrugged.
"I don't really focus on non adventurer things so it's probably better to get someone else to name this." Shiro smiled as a young girl walked up to her.
"Erm your highness?" The girl called out as Shiro glanced towards her.
"Mn? Can I help you?" Shiro asked with a smile as the girl gave her a flower.

"Thank you for giving us this city." The girl said as Shiro paused and accepted the flower.
"You're welcome. As long as you're safe, I'm happy." Shiro replied as the girl nodded her head happily and made her way back to her parents.
Giving her a small wave, Shiro looked at the flower and raised her eyebrows. The flower was a rather simple blue coloured flower that only had a few petals.
Putting in her hair, Shiro grinned and glanced at Nan Tian.
"Fufu do I look good in this?" Shiro asked as Nan Tian nodded his head.
"Of course. You look good even without it." Nan Tian replied as Shiro shrugged.
"Smooth. Anyways, setting aside the naming of the street, we need a place for all of the adventuring tools. Right now, they're kind of scattered as the blacksmiths are towards the east while the alchemists are towards the south. I'll have a few drones talk to the residents and have them move to a specific location if possible. That way it's easier to access. Maybe I should also make some teleport zones around the city since it's rather large." Shiro said as Nan Tian thought about it for a moment.
"Hmm… maybe it's better to not add teleport spots so that they can explore the city a little. Plus, even if they do need one, there can be transport." Nan Tian replied.
"I agree but the main problem is people flying. If a transport vehicle slams into someone or vice versa, it'll be annoying to deal with. Do you think we should have a permit for flying? I remember people having car licenses in the past so maybe something similar to that. It's only when you have the permit can you fly." Shiro suggested.

"We can always give it a try. If it doesn't work out, we can just get rid of it. It's an ambitious project this city, so it's expected a few things might go wrong. The fact that everything is proceeding smoothly is rather surprising." Nan Tian smiled as Shiro agreed with him.
"I'll set that aside for now then. What about entertainment? Are the citizens finding it adequately entertaining? It doesn't have to be like a festival or anything like that but if they're bored, their thoughts about the city will dull as well. Even workaholics need some entertainment after all so that they can rest their minds." Shiro asked.
"Hmm… entertainment is not a problem with the internet being around. Though having something interactive in real life wouldn't hurt either." Nan Tian suggested.
"True. In that case then I'll allocate a space for activities such as Virtual Reality games where it trains one's reaction speed and so on. I remember a few games from Aria so it might be pretty good. We can also make some sports halls and so on so that the kids can play around. I'll send out some mail asking them what kind of facility they would want later today so that we can tailor the city to suit their needs." Shiro replied while making notes on the tablet.
Giving out instructions to the drones, they soon arrived at the military grounds.
Seeing Nan Tian, a few of the soldiers quickly bowed but when they saw Shiro, they kneeled since they needed to show respect to the person who built all of this.
"There's no need to bow, I'm just here for a casual visit." Shiro smiled as the soldiers stood up.
"How are you finding things so far? Is the training adequate?" Shiro asked while looking at the large spaces full of spirits training with one another and medical drones ready should anything go wrong.
"Reporting to your highness, everything is more than adequate, it's amazing. All of the facilities, techniques and equipment is much better than what we could have imagined." The soldier replied as Shiro nodded her head.

"That's good. Keep up the good work, I have high hopes for you." Shiro smiled as they continued into the training grounds.
{That was an obvious lie. With your power, I doubt you have any hopes for spirits like them to impact an important fight. If anything, they'll be handy for conquering land without making a move yourself but even then, you can just send a few drones to do that for you.} Nimue rolled her eyes.
'Oh of course. But if I say that, it might cause them to feel rather depressed, no? Plus, if I urge them on, we might be able to find some hidden talents.' Shiro smiled.
{Speaking of hidden talents, why didn't you recruit Nostic? For a tier 6 demon, he would have been extremely helpful in our group.} Nimue asked curiously. She wasn't there for the fight since she was occupied with her own candidate, but she did know that Shiro killed him in the end.
'Mn… well I did want to recruit him but as the fight continued, I could tell that he was having the time of his life so I didn't want to ruin it. Plus, near the end, he was burning up everything to fight me and once the berserk skills ended, all of the backlash would have killed him instantly. I saw his mana realm cracking and his body being broken from the inside out so I decided to end him before he fell into a pitiful state and died to the backlash.' Shiro shrugged since Nostic would have been a good ally. Plus, he was quite honourable too so she knew that he could probably be trusted one she got to know him a little more.
{I see… that's quite unfortunate then.}
'Mn, well I guess in a way he's fortunate. He doesn't have to go through the new age crap that the system created just to lie to all other queens apart from the one originating from the current garden.' Shiro thought to herself as she entered the area where the supposed elites were.
Looking at the spirits here and their fighting spirits, Shiro wondered if she should have a little fun with them.
Camouflaging herself for a moment, she hopped forward slightly before unleashing a dense wave of killing intent.

Surprised by her actions, Nan Tian stayed silent and watched by the side.
As for the 'elites' cold sweat immediately dripped down their back as it felt like the grim reaper had just grabbed their throat. Time seemed to pause for them as their bodies tensed up.
However, there were a few who managed to grab weapons and look around them in shock.
"Hou hou~ Three of you managed to still move. Well done, I'll give you some extra rewards." Shiro smiled as it was hard to move while being bathed in her killing intent. The fact that three of them managed to react meant that their willpower is some of the highest amongst the elites. They were able to face death head on even though they knew it was futile. They're the kind of people that will make sure that the final moments of their life in battle are beneficial for their allies.
These were the kind of people she could trust leading a group to.
