Chapter 358 – Utopia

When Zero arrived at the Sky Garden that was located outside the Great Hall, he had already become known as the new rich and young in Asgard. On the main platform, which was the focus of everyone’s attention, the names Zero, Feng and Su were bestowed with the names of the Holy Spirit. In the ranking system of the Hall of Heroic Spirits, the Holy Spirit was a upper middle class, equivalent to a lieutenant in the Dark Council.

Although the three of them were simultaneously awarded the title of Holy Spirit, only Zero received much attention. Besides Zero’s own battle achievements, it was also inseparable from his strength. Even though Feng and Su had passed Jodtenheim’s test, their strength had already reached the critical point of the eighth step. However, their genes were undergoing a series of evolution. Only by stabilizing, would they be able to truly evolve and become high-ranked espers of their respective professions.

As for Zero, it had already completed its metamorphosis. The slight time difference on the road of evolution already shows the advantages and disadvantages of its potential. Without a doubt, in the eyes of these people, although he was also a high-level esper, his potential was far greater than the other two teammates. Thus, after the ceremony ended, Zero noticed that there were more aristocratic ladies around him.

In the end, he managed to get rid of the small aristocrats who wanted to recruit him by going to the washroom, and instead came to this aerial garden.

The Sky Garden was quieter than the banquet hall, and a well-dressed blonde was playing for the guests a serenade by Chopin, the famous old music master. The beautiful and gentle sounds of music came from the moving fingers, and from the black piano case, they floated about in every corner of the floating garden.

The ancient styled lamp post s cleverly designed it between the rocks behind the trees. The light was gentle and full of ambiguity, causing the garden in the sky to be overflowing with a kind of old era affluence.

In the garden, there were rows and rows of flowery tables. On each table, there was a beautiful lampstand. Within the lace lampshade, there was a flickering candle light, illuminating the lively faces of the people who talked and talked.

Zero managed to find an empty table near the edge of the stone railing and sat down. As soon as he sat down, Helper served him drinks, ordered a cocktail for him, and leaned against the chair, looking at Asgard in the darkness.

Looking from this direction, most of the buildings in Asgard were hidden in the darkness. The Milky Way stars calculated by the holographic electronic board filled the city with a romantic atmosphere. Under the night sky, the bustling lights of the city turned into another bright galaxy on the ground.

For a moment, Zero was dumbfounded.

“Pretty, right?”

A clear and cold voice came from the side. When Zero came back to his senses, he discovered that Valkyrie, dressed in a silver dress, was standing next to him. The goddess of the night had her sea-blue hair pulled up high, and on her smooth forehead was a flowered crown adorned with a water diamond. Other than that, Valkyrie did not have any other accessories. On top of that, her beauty did not need anything else to adorn it.

“Aren’t you going to ask me to sit down?” Valkyrie asked softly.

Then, he pulled out a chair for Valkyrie and said: “Please have a seat.”

Valkyrie smiled sweetly and said: “I can tell. Teacher Rhine has taught you a lot of things. He is a strict man, and he taught me etiquette. ”

Zero thought about that old man’s stern face and said, “I’m afraid that won’t be a pleasant experience.”

“That’s right.” Valkyrie laughed again. Her smile tonight was especially plentiful, it was completely different from her usual icy beauty.

The smile disappeared with a single glance. Valkyrie stopped smiling and looked towards the city in the distance, saying, “Before I was five years old, I lived in a pile of ruins and trash. I don’t even know who my parents are. I just remember that from the moment I started being sensible, I had to go out with adults into the dangerous wilderness in search of food. That kind of life was something that most people in the city would not understand. Among the refugees in the wilderness, the elderly and children weren’t given special treatment. Instead, because they were not the main force of labor, they could only eat the leftovers of the able-bodied men. To me, life before the age of five was hell, until I met my current father. ”

“Ben?”

Valkyrie nodded and said, “The founder of Hall of Heroic Spirits, was my father. He found me in a ruined supermarket and I came here. At that time, the Asgard was not as large as it is now. It was only a little larger than a normal living area, but to me, this city is already no different from heaven. Here, I don’t have to worry about whether or not there’s food for the next meal. What I need to do is to take Teacher Callio’s training with the children my father brought back from all over the world. The training was hard, but I worked hard to learn everything. History, economics, the military, philosophy, even art, as long as the teacher taught me something, I put my life into it. Because I know that this is the only way to escape that hellish fate. ”

Looking at Valkyrie who was dressed in a luxurious robe, it was hard for Zero to associate her with the wilderness.

“Fortunately, I, Tyre, Sol, Loki and the others all have potential that Father is satisfied with. The reason we have what we have today is because of Father’s painstaking nurturing. If Father can be said to be a gardener, then the Asgard is a fertile land for us to grow up in. Father brought us into a wider world, and the Asgard is the hope of our hearts. Father said before that the capital of a Divine Kingdom like this will one day appear in every corner of the world. ” Valkyrie looked at Zero, and said: “We have been fighting with this kind of conviction. In order to let more children like us escape this tragic fate, we are willing to give it our all!”

Ling Yun’s heart trembled. Valkyrie’s seemingly weak body, contained a light of unwavering conviction. Her ice-cold exterior hid a fiery heart. In front of her, those so-called aristocratic families were gradually becoming inferior to her. This was the difference between righteousness and personal gain.

“I once heard it from a friend.” “She said that her dream was to find someone to love and stay in a house. She would take care of her children and quietly wait for her husband to come back to work. But in this world, this dream seemed so ridiculous. It wasn’t until she died that I realized she was trying to change the world with her own life. “So …”

Zero clenched his fist and said, “Although saying this may be a bit overestimating yourself, I want to give it a try.” Try to create a country she wants! ”

“Is this your utopia?” Valkyrie asked indifferently.

“Utopia? Perhaps it is. In everyone’s heart, there will always be a dream country of their own. ” Zero laughed.

“Actually, this is very good.” Valkyrie looked at the night sky and said, “We have similar dreams, so let’s work hard to realize them together!”

The goddess raised the alcohol in her hand and said, “For my dream.”

“For our utopia.” Zero smiled.

As a result, the two wine cups intersected in the air, and with a ding sound, they clashed together.

After he finished drinking, Valkyrie stood up and said, “I’m leaving. Tonight, your socialization will definitely be more, and there will be more in the future. But don’t forget, everything is based on power. Only power can make the world hear our voices. ”

After saying that, Valkyrie left with a smile. As she stared at the distant silver-colored silhouette, she felt a sense of disappointment. At this time, a shadow flashed in front of her eyes, and an old man dressed in the attire of a butler walked over to Zero and said: “This must be Mr. Zero.”

Thinking about what Valkyrie had said, it seemed like it was another social gathering. He thought, and said, “I am, and may I ask who you are?”

The old man smiled and said: “I am Black Rose Family’s butler, Cassero. My master would like to invite Mr. Zero to meet me in private.

How could Black Rose Home, one of the Three Wealthy Classes, not give him face? Su Xin Xin said, and stood up and said: Please lead the way, Mr. Cassero.

Cassero said indifferently: “Mr. Zero, please call me Leo. Please follow me.”

Under the guidance of the old steward, he circled around the aerial garden for a long time. As they walked, Ling Yun pondered on the intentions of the Black Rose Home. Thinking about it, although he had been promoted to Holy Spirit, with the power of a small noble, he had the power to set up a personal guard. With his current status, he could be considered a lowly noble to form a relationship with, but he could not see where he would be worthy of being invited by one of the Three Wealthy Classes s, the Black Rose Home.

As they passed through the aerial garden, Zero heard whispers coming from every corner. There were many middle-class and upper-class aristocrats who did not put warriors like Su Ming in their eyes, but they recognized Cassero, who was leading the way. When Rhine was talking about Asgard’s Three Wealthy Classes, only Black Rose Family’s butler, Cassero, was compared to the current Patriarch, Biansi. This was a special honor that the other two noble families did not have.

The reason why Cassero was worth paying attention to, was not only because he had the qualifications to be the Patriarch of two generations of Patriarchs in Black Rose Home, but also because Cassero himself was a Tenth Order warrior. However, even with a Sovereign level of strength, Cassero was willing to hide under the radiance released at home. As for the reason, outsiders could only guess that he had something to do with the first clan head, Gaffney.

It was rumored that there was an ambiguous relationship between Cassero and the current Patriarch of the Jayden Family, but the relationship between Cassero and the Patriarch was very different. In order to obtain the same status as Gaffney, Cassero had been ordered to go on an expedition and attempt to raise his status through meritorious military service. But when he returned, he was already in critical condition.

When she was in danger, she entrusted Cassero to take care of her daughter, who was also the current Patriarch, Biansi. Ever since then, Cassero put down the longsword that he had been fighting for many years, changed into the butler’s uniform, and wore it for twenty years!

It could be said that Cassero was an important figure that was able to contend against the two other Wealthy Classes in the Black Rose Home. If not for him, the high rank powerhouse, being in charge, regardless of whether it was in terms of resources or talent, the two other Wealthy Class Black Rose Home s would have long since been swallowed.
