Reborn As A GOD 54 Chapter 51: Golden Gate City

Two guards stood at the sides of the portcullis inspecting the various people and wagons coming in to the city. The city has undergone a ma.s.sive change since it was built, since the emergence of the Golden Gate people from all over the continent and even some from other continent came causing the once small town to grow into a magnificent giant city.

A lot of the surrounding kingdoms wanted to claim the city for their own so each of the surrounding four Kingdoms stationed their soldiers there. As expected with four armies from different kingdoms tension began to rise amongst them as small fights here and there broke out. Still nothing serious happened as each had strict orders to not engage the other.

Like this time pa.s.sed as each of the four kingdoms sent a representative to the town. The Wiles kingdom being the closest one had no problems replacing their soldiers each week as the trip did not take them longer then 2 days horse ride. They sent a prince and took the north district to themselves.

The Drarus kingdom was famed to have the strongest military, they also sent a prince as their representative and took the west district for themselves. Then came the Xosia Kingdom mostly known for being the richest, their kingdom was founded by merchants who bought their land and ended up growing to become one of the richest kingdoms in the land they sent their princess and ended up with the south district.

Finally came the Nadia Dynasty, they were not the strongest nor were they the richest but they were the oldest. Their dynasty could be traced back to the beginning of mankind and is considered one of the oldest most mysterious dynasties in the continent. They ended up sending a Princess and claiming the East district as theirs.

It was like this that each Kingdom grew their respective districts and ruled them as they were part of their own lands. The higher ups eventually came to the decision of forming an Alliance in order to protect themselves from the rest of the Kingdoms and Empires that may want to monopolize the Gate for their personal use, they shall stand together in case of an external threat, but in the city each only rules over their respective districts and may not interfere with the others.

There was one part of land however that was not claimed by any of them, one particular building that stood the closest to the gate and that was the Adventurer Guild. With their latest Guild Master ascending and being hailed as the Hero of mankind none dared to oppose this giant organization that had it's roots all over the continent.

***********

In the middle of the city apposite to the Adventurer Guild, a gigantic tower was built with the combined efforts of all kingdoms, it palled in comparison to the Golden Gate but was still a miracle by Human standards.

This tower was a neutral ground where leaders from each district came together at the end of each month to discuss the various matters concerning the city.

Today coincidentally marked the end of the month and also the 10th year since the opening of the Golden Gate. At the top floor a round table was situated in the middle of the room, four figures were seated around it.

It has been 10 years since each of them were ordered to be sent here, when they came they were still young and inexperienced, now however the youngest was the Xosia princess who just turned 29 this year while the oldest was the Drarus prince who was 40.

Ever since their kingdoms claimed parts of the city as their own hostilities occurred between them, problems arose but each one was capable enough and with multiple threats of invasions the group soon came together in a strange type of bond.

Ten years was short in the eyes of the G.o.ds but in the eyes of Mortals it was anything but that, and it was enough for this group of royals to form a bond akin to siblings with each other, and this only served to strengthen the bonds of their kingdoms pushing them forward to new heights.

The rules changed overtime as people interacted with each other, slowly putting away their differences as they grew closer. The city was on it's way to it's Golden Age.

One thing however that was constantly on the minds of everyone, the thing that brought all of them together under the same banner, The Golden Gate. It had been more then 10 years since the opening of the gate, and thousands of Adventures soldiers and even commoners who wished to test their luck were lost inside as not even one managed to return.

The mood around the table was gloomy as Darius the prince of the Drarus Kingdom looked at his fellows all of which had somber looks on their faces, he spoke up with a deep authoritative voice that made everyone pay attention to him.

"As all of you know today marks the 10th year since the opening of the gate, we have long since lost countless of man trying to explore it but to no avail. the recent expedition with the mages has been deemed a failure, all magic connections to them is lost once they entered so we have no idea how to track them and if they are dead or alive." His red hair fluttered as he smashed his hand on the table in anger."

Nadia the youngest one present cleared her throat her dark brown eyes were somber as she spoke.

"We have completely lost connections to the G.o.ds as well..."

All those present turned to look at her in shock.

Rose covered her mouth with her hand as she asked "You mean?"

William of the Wiles interrupted her saying "Impossible! You mean to tell the G.o.ds abandoned us?!"

The room turned quiet at his question, before Darius broke the silence "There was a prophecy thar warned us of this wasn't there?"

To his question Nadia nodded her head "Indeed, however with the Dragons disappearing and their continent turning into a living h.e.l.l, most seemed to forget about the prophecy."

William scratched his well trimmed beard as he asked "It shall be on the day that legends becomes history and G.o.ds nothing but Mystery, that the silver haired one will bring an end to the stagnation wether it's for good or worse? Right? But what does that even mean?"

To that question it was Rose who answered "I think a part of it is self explanatory by now, on the day legends becomes history and G.o.ds nothing but mystery. We have already lost contact with the G.o.ds and I think we are witnessing the end of an Era..."

Silence reigned over the room as realization of what could this imply to creeped on them.

"May Ysion watch over us..." a silent prayer escaped from Darius mouth as he nervously clutched his hands together.
