Chapter 2589 - 1129: World Traveler Guild (Part 2)
When climbing the stairs, with just a light effort, the Card Queen easily crossed four or five steps. Not only was it further and faster, but the energy consumption was also less than before.
The Card Queen couldn’t help but praise, "I was overthinking. These travel boots of yours, sir, seem to be tailor-made for us travelers. I dare guarantee that if you open a store here, as long as the funds allow, every Boundary Traveler will surely own a pair.
I’ll take on the endorsement; it’s best to give these shoes a catchy name."
"I’m planning to call them the Endless Heavenly Ladder Travel Boots," Gaven pointed to the travel boots under the Card Queen’s feet, and a spiral staircase-shaped emblem appeared on the side immediately, "What do you think of this pattern? What color do you like?"
"Great!" The Card Queen exclaimed joyfully, "What a creative idea, red, I like red!"
Before she finished speaking, the emblem on her travel boots had already turned fiery red, complementing her long hair.
The Card Queen couldn’t help giving Gaven a thumbs up, saying, "I can already foresee the booming business of your shoe store, you’re really business-minded."
"He is now blessed by a Goddess of Trade and Wealth, it’s hard for his business not to thrive!" Taharissi said sourly from the side.
The methods of the man in front of her were beyond imagination; wherever he went, he seemed to become the focus.
Not long ago, he caused a huge scene in Azegrat, and countless people were searching the world for him.
Now he’s already at the Endless Heavenly Ladder, making friends and talking business.
This kind of ability to quickly integrate with the locals in a short time makes people both envious and jealous, something she feels she can never learn in her lifetime.
"That too is because the gentleman has ideas, so he can be blessed by the Goddess of Trade and Wealth, the Endless Heavenly Ladder has existed for so many years, yet no one ever thought of opening a shoe store here." The Card Queen complimented with a smile, "If the two of you have finished eating, we can pack up and get on the road; the dimensional inn of the World Traveler Guild is much more comfortable than camping in the wild."
"Alright." Gaven agreed readily, swiftly packing up his luggage.
He didn’t really intend to camp here but was planning to fish.
The target for fishing was those ever-elusive, following winged snake women, being local natives, they naturally also held a wealth of portal information.
Unexpectedly, he struck it lucky, directly encountering the Card Queen, naturally no longer needing those winged snake women.
He only simply packed up the perishable ingredients, leaving the ordinary items behind for any climbers with fate, these items that could be shaped with divine power were not worth occupying the space of his Portable Dimensional Bag, just the right opportunity to clear them out.
Traveling with the Card Queen, there was never a worry about boredom or loneliness.
She seemed to have endless stories to tell, when in high spirits, she might recite a poem, sing a song, or play an instrument as they walked.
Free-spirited yet not pretentious, never causing annoyance.
No wonder a considerable number of winged snake women would accompany her along the way.
To them, the Card Queen was walking spiritual nourishment, gaining greatly just by traveling with her for a while.
And the earlier passionate dance obviously opened a completely new door for that daughter of the demon, even in climbing the ladder, the shadows of dance steps were evident, full of rhythm.
In comparison, Gaven seemed a bit absent-minded, his attention not only on the Endless Heavenly Ladder but also on the Tears of Sulun.
Strictly speaking, Gaven had never truly mastered this High Tier Divine Artifact before; borrowing it was just to save face for himself, it was outright theft, as the Moon Goddess Sulun had never agreed to it.
After destruction and reshaping, Gaven began to glimpse the secrets of this High Tier Divine Artifact.
Through the Tears of Sulun, he saw things invisible to the naked eye from the Endless Heavenly Ladder, like its twisted and folded manner.
This was not merely a ladder where one could simply climb upwards.
At certain staircases, they had to retrace their steps, descend a few levels, and then fold back, which was the correct climbing route.
If one just blindly followed the stairs upwards, they might end up going in circles, or directly skip over certain parts of the ladder.
This was also why Gaven asked the Card Queen to lead the way, instead of just giving directions.
Gaven faintly perceived some operational patterns of the Endless Heavenly Ladder, closely linked with the phases of the moon.
This awaits further verification.
What attracted Gaven’s attention most was the wind tunnel in the middle of the spiral staircase, where colorful figures would occasionally dart through, those were the winged snake women flying at high speed.
Their patterned avian wings were not just decoration, naturally enabling fast travel in the Endless Heavenly Ladder.
This also made them difficult to provoke, as provoking one meant provoking a group, with numerous winged snake women coming upon hearing the news.
Others could also mimic their clever flying, but newcomers were always warned not to try it lightly.
Even if one must try flying, it’s best to do so close to the stairs rather than diving straight into the wind tunnel, or hiring a winged snake woman to guide them.
Otherwise, it’s easy to get lost in the wind tunnel, eventually getting dizzy from the extremely similar stairs and folded spaces.
It’s actually more efficient to climb the stairs honestly.
