The Martial Unity

Rui whiled away his time in various ways. He appreciated how smooth the carriage moved despite moving at incredibly high speeds, even faster than what he could accomplish by himself on foot. His senses told him that the carriage had actually begun levitating off the ground in order to maintain its high velocity.

Not only could they not feel the motion, but even the acceleration to top speed had been incredibly smooth and painless as though there were inertial stabilizers that allowed them to not experience the adverse effects of such extreme acceleration. While he and Master Deivon would have been just fine due to their Martial Bodies, the human staff would certainly die due to the sheer amount of stress this would ordinarily cause.

"This carriage sure is incredible," Rui admitted at one point. "The Virodhabhasa Faith is quite adept at esoteric technology if it is able to develop such fantastic solutions."

"These were not developed by us," Master Deivos shook his head. "The only forms of technology that the church has invested in is technology that is relevant to Martial Art. We generally are not bothered with other forms of technology."

"Then…?"

"This class of carriage technology that we are in right now is actually acquired through our partnership with our various partners. Veline Motor Co., the Esocline Institute of Technology, Bradt Distribution Services, and other international powerhouses with specialization in this sector."

Rui exercised perfect control over his non-verbal expression at the mention of Bradt Distribution Services.

It turned out that the man truly was an extremely well-connected business magnate. It certainly made sense that his company possessed a great foundation in regards to carriage technology. Since the sole point of his company was to distribute information, commodities, products, and services to incredibly distant destinations, it was no surprise whatsoever that the man had invested immensely in developing powerful and viable auto-carriages that could reliably transport things over large distances.
