Chapter 705 - The Erveronians' City

-----

Veronica and Ervas group were joined by a silvery-white-haired beauty with gray eyes and slender, tall figure, this was Yggdrasil, the Tree made by the twins to deal with the Hivemind and the Crystal Tree they had spoken with before.

Due to her fear of them messing around with the Erveronians she was taking care of with a lot of care, she decided to join them in their stupid little trip to entertain themselves, ending up interacting with people for the first time in such a personal level as this.

The Erveronians acted pretty much like any other people they had ever met in Kritias, their society wasn't different at all in terms of structure, although there were certain things that were obviously different, such as that there wasn't any class system, and everyone had the same opportunities since being born and depending in their own efforts is where they would get to.

There were other things such as the buildings, the professions, and the shops. The entire structure of the society was very much like Kritias, maintained by the vast resources everywhere, people was also peaceful, and conflicts only happened to incentivize growth, such as tournaments of magic or physical strength.

There were professions such as Alchemists, Magicians, Scientists, and so on, and each person helped society a bit, pursuing their own dreams in the way. Of course not everyone had to be confined in closed doors, adventuring souls had the chance to become Hunters, which were like Adventurers, there was even a Hunters Association where they could register after passing certain tests, and there was even a Hunter Academy for people to learn basic combat skills, foraging skills, survival, and so on.

All of this was an interesting way of investigating the society, and the group ended mixing pretty well with the people anyways, Ervas and Veronica were simply seen as another citizens and so did everyone else, although some of their pigments and air colors were rarer such as the blue hair of Aurora, it wasn't rare for such mutations to occur on their varied genes (mostly thanks to their Ervas descendance, as he was a chimera of many races through his evolution awakening ancient genes within his bloodline).

The power of each citizen was unique, as they were all descendants of Anastacia and Juliette who were unique clones made up of two detached soul and flesh pieces from the fused form of Ervas and Veronica, they were born as a descendant of a fusion and not of the two separated.

Therefore they developed mixed abilities at random. Genes were usually random too and the parents usually had children which might or might not look like them, looking like their grandpas instead, or even older ancestry.

However as they slowly gathered genes from one another, distinct races within the species were formed, such as the smaller halfling-like adorable Small Folk, who had small bodies and usually retained youthful appearances after reaching their mid to upper teen years, looking like young and beautiful teens even after dozens of years… these ones developed great agility, dexterity, and magic capacity. There were also the Beast Folk, who had the most beast features of them all, and had the greatest physical strength and agility, with great talent for techniques. And then there were rarer ones such as the Armor Folk and the Phantom Folk, which often came combined too, these were the ones that natural grew all sorts of armor exoskeletons over their bodies and were even able to control this at later stages of their lives, being able to form specialized armors or weapons to fight, and the phantom folk who were like half-ghosts and developed the power of using spirit form and more.

Small Folk, Beast Folk, Armor Folk, and Phantom Folk made the four major groups in the Erveronian Species, although there were also many in between as well, so there wasn't much to say aside from this, there were also many that developed many traits from all the Folks, which were often known as the Talented Ones, who could utilize all the special abilities of all the Folks.

Getting to know more about the Erveronians only made the twins even more fascinated about their kin, these people were truly fascinating individuals that could do a variety of amazing things, they were also progressing as a society at a steady pace and were advancing in many things by themselves, it was amazing to see them slowly develop. Although their very children had not been born yet, the two already felt like they had made a big civilization of children indirectly…

However, Yggdrasil was against that idea, saying that they were the children of her mothers, not of them, and that they shouldn't think that they were theirs. She was very selfish, but it was also better to think this instead, it also saved them the slack of feeling the responsibility of teaching these people anything.

"You're not their parents, the Erveronians are the children of my mothers, Anastacia and Juliette! Not of you! Don't think you own them or something!

" she said angrily.

"Okay, calm down…

" sighed Veronica.

"I suppose its better that way, for now let's think in that way.

" Said Ervas while nodding.

"Huh? I thought you would end up caring more… I guess you didn't.

" sighed Yggdrasil.

"Well we do but there's no point in beating the bush over it, just leave you be is enough, they're doing fine and that's what important.

" Said Ervas.

"We are very grateful you're here, Yggdrasil. Thanks to you these people were able to thrive and survive after the Fall… even after all the tragedies they had multiplied once more and are thriving and living happy and peaceful lives…

" said Veronica.

"Yes, thank you for being so nice to them and helping them.

" Said Ervas.

"E-Eh?! N-Naturally! I would never leave behind these children of my mothers, they're all like my older siblings in a way…

" said Yggdrasil.

"Hey how about we go down there some days later so you can meet with the bird squid people?

" asked Veronica.
