Chapter 76: Chapter 63: Narumi Technology Treaty
In the opulent King's office of Aurestear Kingdom royal castle, bathed in warm golden light, the King stood near the grand balcony overlooking the sprawling royal capital. His eyes scanned the panorama before him, taking in the dramatic transformation that had occurred in just a few short years. The city had been touched by the profound impact of Narumi's technological advancements and inventions.
The once modest skyline of royal capital had been forever altered, now dominated by impressive high-rise towers that pierced the heavens. Each tower served a specific purpose, housing institutions that represented the pinnacle of progress. Majestic technology schools stood as beacons of knowledge and innovation, nurturing the brightest minds of the kingdom. Nearby, research academies buzzed with activity, where modern scholars and ancient scholars toiled tirelessly to unlock the secrets of the world.
The cityscape was adorned with vital infrastructures that catered to the needs of its residents. Gleaming hospitals offered state-of-the-art medical care, ensuring the well-being of the kingdom's inhabitants. The Goddess Ira shrine, a magnificent testament to faith, emanated an aura of tranquility and reverence. Vibrant shopping malls bustled with life, offering an array of goods and services to satisfy every desire. Luxurious hotels welcomed visitors from far and wide, providing comfort and respite in the heart of the kingdom. Modern apartments stood as symbols of contemporary living, where families and individuals found solace within their walls.
The towers were not solely the domain of educational and commercial institutions. Guilds and firms, representing a multitude of trades and professions, found their home within these architectural marvels. Each office, adorned with emblems of expertise and craftsmanship, buzzed with activity as guild members and employees pursued their respective vocations.
As the King took in the breathtaking transformation of the royal capital, his heart swelled with pride and gratitude. The invention of Narumi had turned an orthodox royal capital into a thriving metropolis, a testament to the endless possibilities of human endeavor. The once narrow horizons of Aurestear Kingdom had expanded, embracing progress and ushering in an era of unprecedented growth and development. In the midst of this, the King's advisor stood respectfully by his side, sharing in his awe and wonder. The two men exchanged glances, acknowledging the profound impact Narumi's presence had made on their kingdom.
"It's been almost three years since Narumi arrived in this world, hasn't it?" the King mumbled pensively to his advisor, who stood beside him, their gazes fixed on the ever-evolving royal capital. The King's fingers absentmindedly traced the intricate patterns on the balcony railing.
The advisor, his eyes surveying the city's landscape, nodded in agreement. "Indeed, Your Majesty. Thanks to Lord Narumi, our kingdom stands strong, flourishing under his guidance and technological marvels." As he spoke, the advisor's hand lightly rested on the hilt of his ceremonial scepter, a symbol of his unwavering loyalty and readiness to protect the realm. "Yet, I can't help but feel a sense of unease at the rapid pace of change. It seems like the world spins faster with each passing day, and I sometimes wonder if I am growing too old to keep up."
Chuckling softly, the King's laughter echoed against the regal chamber walls. "Ha ha ha, you speak the truth. Age may be creeping upon us, but retirement is a notion I'm not yet ready to embrace. There is still much to witness, to be part of the tapestry of our kingdom's destiny in the upcoming decade." His arm, adorned with regal regalia, gestured expansively, encompassing the grandeur of their surroundings.
The advisor's eyes gleamed with a shared anticipation. "Indeed, Your Majesty. With the signing of the treaty by every country, the path forward is paved with greater cooperation and mutual understanding." He clasped his hands behind his back, a gesture reflecting his confidence and preparedness for the challenges ahead.
"To have convinced the Cloudwhale Kingdom, known for their stubbornness, to join the treaty is no small feat," the King mused, his tone laced with admiration. With a playful glint in his eyes, he continued, "Princess Valentia's relentless efforts surely played a vital role in breaking through their resistance." The King's hand, adorned with a regal signet ring, rose to brush his chin thoughtfully, emphasizing his contemplation.
"Princess Valentia's relentless efforts are truly commendable, but even the most stubborn nobles of the Cloudwhale Kingdom had little choice but to acknowledge the glaring disparity in power," the advisor mused, his gaze fixed upon the distant horizon. His words carried a sense of introspection and understanding, reflecting the weight of the situation at hand.
"In the span of just a few short years, the Cloudwhale Kingdom has found itself falling behind other country, trailing in progress and innovation. It is a stark contrast to their previous standing. Even a small country that was once considered insignificant now proudly flaunts a formidable squadron of airborne knights—an undeniable testament to the shifting tides of the future."
As he continued, the advisor's tone carried a faint hint of weariness. "Confronted with these undeniable realities, the Cloudwhale Kingdom found itself with no viable alternative but to face the inevitable head-on and embrace it willingly. Thus, their path led them to sign the treaty, an act that bound them irrevocably to the shifting currents of history."
The treaty in question, known as the Narumi Technology Treaty, had garnered the signatures of every nation across the continent. Its provisions were carefully crafted to ensure the responsible and constructive utilization of Narumi's technology and inventions:
The first clause strictly forbade the use of Narumi technology or inventions as tools of aggression or territorial encroachment upon other nations.
The second clause emphasized the imperative of preventing any misuse or illicit activities involving Narumi's technological or inventions.
The third clause mandated active cooperation in apprehending and extraditing offenders to face justice within the realm of Goddess Ira's religion.
The fourth clause imposed an obligation upon all signatories to extend unwavering support, ease of access, and assistance in Narumi's arduous battles against the colossal biomachine monsters.
As the King and his advisor engaged in thoughtful conversation, their minds brimming with possibilities, a palpable sense of excitement and anticipation permeated the air. The Narumi Technology Treaty heralded the dawn of a transformative era, wherein the continent's nations stood united in their pursuit of common goals, driven by the promise of a resplendent future.
