Chapter 76: Arriving at Jiluoduo City

Ebert and his companions finally arrived at the legendary city of Giralda. As they passed through the city gates, the sight before them was breathtaking. The grandeur of the city far exceeded their imaginations and even reminded Ebert of the Berlin he had seen in 1943.

The city wall towers into the sky and is made of huge granite blocks. Each stone is carefully carved and fit together perfectly. The city walls are dotted with exquisite reliefs, telling the city's long history and legends. Ebott noticed that there were almost no visible gaps at the joints of these stones, showing the superb skills of the craftsmen.

Stepping into the city, wide avenues come into view. On both sides of the road are neat granite pavements, as smooth as a mirror, reflecting the sun. Ebert was surprised to find that even on the busy street, the ground was still clean and tidy, with no water or stains. He soon discovered the reason: the city's drainage system was extremely advanced, with carefully designed ditches on both sides of the streets to quickly drain away rainwater and sewage.

"This is incredible," Ebert whispered to Saraswati next to him. "Can you believe it? The infrastructure of this city is even more advanced than the Berlin I know in 1943. Although The architectural styles and materials were completely different, but in terms of urban planning and engineering technology, Giralta was definitely centuries ahead."

Saraswati nodded, equally shocked by the sight before her. "It's really unbelievable. This city seems to be a fusion of ancient wisdom and future technology." But he was confused about the year 1943 mentioned by Ebott.

They continued to walk along the avenue. The buildings on both sides were staggered in height but harmonious. Each building is a work of art, with walls made of marble and granite of various colors, forming complex and beautiful geometric patterns. Ebott noticed that many buildings had solar panel-like devices on top, apparently designed to collect and utilize natural energy.

The streets are bustling with life and energy. Merchants from all over set up stalls on the streets, selling colorful goods. The air is filled with the smell of various spices and delicacies, making people want to eat. Ebert saw many strange fruits and vegetables he had never seen before, as well as some gadgets that looked like high-tech gadgets.

Yet despite the atmosphere of joy and excitement around him, Ebert felt a twinge of unease. He couldn't say exactly why, but he had a strange feeling that something important was about to happen. He tried to push the feeling away and focus on the task at hand.

When they arrived at the main square in the center of the city, a crowd had gathered to greet them. Ebert recognized several members of the Hand of Brahma Council, with relieved smiles on their faces. Among the crowd, a woman wearing a white robe was particularly eye-catching. She was Lila, the mother of the legendary Son of Light.

Lila's appearance aroused everyone's curiosity and discussion. Ebert heard people talking quietly around him. Some said that she was younger and more beautiful than they thought, while others were in awe of the mysterious aura exuding from her. Ebert tried to observe Lila's expression, hoping to read some information from it, but her face always remained calm and peaceful.

An older member of the Council stepped forward and greeted Ebert and others: "Welcome, brave warriors. Your return has filled the entire city of Giradu with joy. We can't wait to hear from you. Mission report."

Captain Akash nodded in greeting, "Thank you for your welcome. We did complete the task, but many unexpected things happened during the process. We need to report the details to the council as soon as possible."

The older congressman showed a thoughtful expression, "Of course, we will arrange a meeting immediately. But before that, I think you must be tired. We have prepared accommodation for you so that you can take a rest first. Recover your strength."

At this moment, Ebert noticed something strange about Captain Akash's expression. He seemed to want to say something, but ultimately remained silent. This deepened Ebert's uneasiness.

As they were led to their resting place, Ebert couldn't help but glance back at Lila. She still stood there, staring calmly at their departing figures. At that moment, Ebert thought he saw a flash of worry in her eyes, but the expression was fleeting, making him wonder if it was just his imagination.

Walking on the streets of Giralda City, Ebert's thoughts were confused. The city's splendor and advancement were breathtaking, but he couldn't fully immerse himself in this beauty. Various questions in the mission, Lila's mysterious identity, and Akash's abnormal behavior, all swirled in his mind, forming mysteries one after another.

Before taking a break, Ebert took one last look at the city of Giralda outside the window. Under the sun, the city shines with golden light and is incredibly beautiful. However, he couldn't get rid of the lingering uneasiness in his heart. What kind of secrets are hidden under this seemingly perfect city?
