The World We Do Not Know 92 The Upper Land

"Huh? Are you perhaps happy that you are leaving me? Why would be so happy when you are leaving your aunt?" Keith asks Faust with a disappointing face.

"Or is it because you are going to spend more time with Caitlyn now?" Keith asks with a smirk on her face.

Faust has become all red upon hearing the words from Neith! "N-not at all Aunt! You come first no matter what!" Faust even stumbles and stutters to say these words to Neith.

"And did you put your two swords?" Neith asks as a final finish up.

Faust is now using two swords, both being katana. One of them is f.u.kitsuna Masamune. The sword given to him by Gus.

The other sword 'Kusanagi' a purple katana which he got in the mainland.

"Yes, I have everything packed, I will script you, whenever I can. Make sure to keep checking your COM's (Communication by Magnetic Field)." Faust replies with a bright smile.

The COM device is a magnetic script that delivers messages as a scrip. It contains two blocks of magnets that are attached to each other. Upon receiving a text, the user pulls both magnets in opposite sides, where a blue screen appears with text containing in it. This is also used by the help of elemental stones.

The electricity, the busses and fuel that is required is in the form of elemental stones. A purple stone is used as the core to bring power to a whole city.

Faust leaves Neith and starts heading towards the House of Asuras. He was told to take certain directions to reach the house.

He first went to a nearby city where the towers that balance the upper land exists. It was silver in colour with certain diode marks on the outside. The still walls are carved perfectly.

Upon reaching the tower, Faust's heart skipped a beat due to its height. It is going into the clouds. The way is pretty busy with lots of people and soldiers going in and coming out from two different openings in the tower.

"Hey kid, you are not allowed inside de." A security guard who is observing the people that are pa.s.sing by stops Faust, as the tower is forbidden for common people and kids. Only those with special code marked on their pa.s.ses or any badge is allowed to enter.

"Oh! I almost forgot this step. I have this!" Faust takes out the badge of his house to show it to the guard.

"Oh no! You can't trick me with a game one, you know showing such ident.i.ty could get you arrested." The guard tells Faust with a smile. It is very rare for a fourteen-year-old to join the powerhouses.

"It is a real one! You can check the badge if you like" Faust says seriously, the guard who thought this was all a prank gave it a serious thought and went ahead to check the badge.

"Ok, you can pa.s.s the checking, if your badge doesn't have the access the security alarm will ring and we will have to send you off." He informs Faust about the rules. 

Pa.s.sing the security guard is a sensor that is placed in a pa.s.sway. It checks the pa.s.scode of each and every pa.s.sed and evaluates it and distinguishes Original from fake.

Faust walks like every other adult that is pa.s.sing through and he goes in without any unnecessary check. 

The guard just blames it on the world that made this kid working for the military at such a young age.

The inside of this tower is very vast and huge, there are stairs on all sides of the walls. Each start leading to a gla.s.s door. Beside the stairs is a round cylindrical way that goes up.

And that is the elevator that carries ten-twenty people to the upper territory. 

Faust goes to the elevator that has the number nine on it. Which is the one that takes him close to the House.

The elevator is huge and there are twenty safety bindings on the walls. Every person is going to the safety binding, standing with their backs against the wall, they get ready as the safety bindings come down locking on their shoulders.

"Hmmm h.e.l.lo? My one is kinda?" Faust asks the person managing the elevator. 

"This is why the kids are not allowed here" The managing person replies. The safety binding did bit grip the shoulders of Faust due to him being small.

"It is okay, you will fit into it once the thigh gets started." Saying that the person leaves the huge room.

Faust did not understand what the managing person meant but slowly the elevator started. Faust tucked his body against the wall while holding the safety binding with his hands.

*Riiiffffff~~*

The elevator took off with rocket speed, Faust instantly lost his footing because of the speed the elevator is going up where he tightly gripped his hands around the safety.

After the elevator, he came out feeling tired, his hair is all messed up and his legs wobbling like a newborn's.

 But everything faded away as soon as he saw the upper land.

It is nothing like the lower land that he is from, the roads are black and very clean as if they are newly laid. The city is nothing like concrete but wooden.

The air he breathes is so refreshing and aromatic, there is no cl.u.s.ter of vehicles and traffic. It is plain, simple and calm.

Faust somehow reaches the House of Asura with the details he was told. Is there going to be a huge black gate? A Palace that is as big as his city? Number of soldiers who are walking in their daily drill? 

Faust's imagination ran wild and he could bit stop until he sees the house with his own eyes.

-

And there is a tall two-storey bulging in front of him. Which looks worn out than the buildings surrounding it. Faust stands with his mouth open looking at the small building.

He checks if he was in the wrong address but everything is fine. He rechecks again and the address pointed him the same old two-storey building.
