Start With Contracting Sprites

Chapter 319: Union Headquarters, City of Glow (2 / 3)

It was only early spring at this time. The island where the Union Headquarters was located was in the north of Europe. Su Hao originally thought that what he was about to see was a snow-covered City of Ice.

When he got closer, he realized that it wasn’t the case at all.

Looking from afar, he saw a tall building with flashing neon lights. Thick trees were planted neatly on both sides of the road. The branches were lush, and some blooming flowers could be seen. It was colorful.

Only in the periphery of the island and a few relatively barren areas could one see the snow covering the ground.

Without waiting for Su Hao to observe any further, the Great Roc gradually landed on an empty field that looked like a hangar.

Su Hao looked around. Nearby, there were Dragon Nation words written with the words “airport” and some other national languages.

On the other empty venues, large flying sprites also flew down slowly from time to time, raising circles of smoke and dust.

At the airport.

At the Sprite Airport.

Great Roc was really behaving just like a passenger plane!

Su Hao remembered that when he came, he even saw a harbor. At that time, he didn’t look carefully. Now that he thought about it, it probably was a Sprite port.

“They’re all coming down.”

Heavenly King Lie Kong waved his hand and said, “We’re at the Union headquarters. This is the City of Glow.”

The airport outside the City of Glow.

Su Hao added.

In front, a few staff members who should be from the Dragon Nation were asking, “Heavenly King Ji, may I ask if your big bird…?”

“Same old rules, bring it to a large-scale sprite rest area, feed it well.”

“Alright.”

The staff member led… Ah, no, guided the Great Roc, which had now folded its wings, to the side of the airport.

Over there, there were real huge trees that were hundreds of meters tall. On the thick branches, there were many tree houses, and many large-sized sprites appeared from the huge trees.

Under the contrast of the huge trees, the giant sprites’ figures became much “smaller”. They were resting and moving around under the trees like ordinary sprites.

It didn’t seem easy either.

“So, this is also why I don’t really want to raise super-large sprites.”

Although extraordinary-level sprites, no matter how big they were, couldn’t reach the size of the Great Roc.

The Corpse Leviathan just now was even larger than the Great Roc.

…

After registering their identities and leaving the airport, the bustling metropolis finally appeared in front of the group of ‘newbies’.

In the city, the roads were wide, and pedestrians were rare. Instead, sprites bounced and ran past them.

When the green light turned into a red light, the sprite that was running suddenly braked and stopped steadily in front of the white solid line.

And it was a group of sprites who followed the traffic rules.

Well, no wonder they didn’t need their Sprite Trainers.

Su Hao thought about it, then glanced at the interface and randomly chose a few icons to open.

The surrounding weak sprites were only at the entry-level and elite-level but the strong ones were at the monarch-level. Su Hao easily found two monarch-level sprites from his random sampling.

One of them was a Hell Warhorse burning with black flames 100 meters ahead.

It was quietly parked in front of a red light. The hooves stained with terrifying black flames stepped on the ground, but it didn’t leave any traces, as if the flames of the hooves were just decorations.

However, it was much deeper in color than ordinary Hell Warhorses. If one carefully sensed it, they would be able to discover the terrifying energy contained in the black flames. The biggest difference was that on the horse’s back, there was a shadow figure with a spear formed by black flames.

Even if they converged all their auras, it still made some sprites with sharp senses flinch.

So was it a Hell Warhorse or a Hell Knight?

“As expected of the Union Headquarters, monarch rank is occasionally seen, extraordinary rank is everywhere. Of course, there’s still weak elite-level sprites and entry-level sprites are nothing more than trash…”

Su Hao sighed as he heard the notification sound of “Ding-Dong”.

It was an alert for the unfamiliar monarch rank Su Hao just saw. It was the first time he saw one with his own eyes, and with some of his previous accumulation, his Intelligence Points finally increased by 1.

“If I have time, I should go shopping.”

He thought, took out his phone and took a picture of the airport behind him and the tall buildings.

He also zoomed in on some sprites.

The pictures he took were all ordinary sprites. That Hell Warhorse had a unique appearance, but Su Hao listened to his gut feeling and didn’t dare to randomly take pictures of it.

At this moment, his phone rang. It was Fatty Ren tagging him among the Four Little Heavenly Kings group chat. The messages were already 99+. He couldn’t find the one that tagged him.

Without thinking any further, he immediately understood why Fatty Ren was looking for him.

There were also others who were asking about the situation of the Supernova Cup. They were curious and wanted to know if they had already arrived at the Union headquarters… At this moment, the signal had just been recovered. The news came a little late, and Su Hao’s phone kept buzzing and shaking.

Su Hao thought about it and decided that he might as well make a post for everyone to see.

“I am at the headquarters. I just got off the Great Roc.”

“[Image], [Image]… [Image].”

After attaching nine pictures to his post, he put his phone on silent mode and threw it into his pocket. He was done.

…

At the Union Headquarters, in the City of Glow, apart from rare sprites and some obvious black technology, the shops here were quite different from ordinary cities.

It mainly sold sprite items.

On both sides of the road, there were several flagship stores of world-renowned sprite products. There was a Green Shade Supermarket that everyone knew about. Here, it was even larger. There was one on this street, and there was another one on the next street.

Other well-known companies such as Red Lotus Mining and Hei Guang Technology also had their branches here and even office buildings.

There weren’t many people in City of Glow, but the shops on both sides of the road were just like the shops in ordinary cities. Music was playing, and it was a bustling city. There were even sprite attendants standing in front of the shops, shouting loudly. They were doing promotional advertisements.

“You can get a 20% discount or even a 50% discount if you buy enough…”

“Those who succeed in the challenge can pick anything they like… prizes are worth millions!”

“The Top Ranking Tournament of Sprite Trainers, if you’re a Sprite Trainer, come and participate…”

Some of the shops seemed somewhat shady.

Su Hao clicked his tongue in wonder.

The whole City of Glow seemed to be a futuristic city that had completely integrated with its sprites. Many shops’ promotions and activities were related to sprites.

In fact, even the doorman who served the guests at the hotel were Moon Dancers.

Well, extraordinary-level.

As expected, extraordinary sprites were everywhere here.

Under the Heavenly King Lie Kong’s lead, they headed to their temporary residence.

Su Hao didn’t notice that above his head, Butterfly was looking at the shops on both sides of the street and the dazzling promotional activities. Its eyes were already shining with the light of money.

…

On the way to his residence, photos of Su Hao’s post had already been seen by many Sprite Trainers of his age.

Nine pictures.

There were tall buildings and streets of the City of Glow… These were still considered normal.

It was a relatively developed city with many sprites, which satisfied the curiosity many Sprite Trainers had towards the Union headquarters.

The hundreds of meters tall Giant Wood Forest, the airport outside the city, as well as the huge sprites that were dozens and even hundreds of meters in size, on the other hand, were quite shocking.

Normally, it was impossible to see so many giant sprites.

But…

In the last three photos of Su Hao’s posts…

The first photo was taken on the back of the giant roc.

The second photo was taken facing the sea and the morning light slightly warm.

There was no problem with these pictures.

But the last picture… featured a person standing on the back of the Great Roc, looking down. However, there was no sea below. Instead, there was a huge abyssal mouth that terrifyingly broke through the sea surface, as if wanting to devour everything in its way.

That’s right, it wasn’t just a picture. It was a gif.

It was as if there was a terrifying aura spreading through the photo, making the hearts of many people who were staring at the beautiful photo jump suddenly.

How addicting!
