Aksai's group moved through the wide streets of Torah and slowly approached the central region of the city.
The buildings around them became larger and more refined. Guards could be seen at every important turn. The flow of common people also became thinner as they moved closer to the heart of the capital.
Soon, a grand palace came into view.
Tall white walls surrounded it. The gates were large and made of heavy metal, with fine carvings on them. Several guards stood outside. Unlike the ones at the city entrance, these guards included Spirit cultivators as well.
Lurina stepped forward and showed the mission token. The guards checked it carefully before nodding. The gates slowly opened. Aksai followed the group inside.
The palace grounds were wide and clean. Stone paths ran through well-kept gardens. Small water streams flowed quietly, adding a calm feeling to the place.
Palace workers were already waiting for them.
As soon as the group entered, they were greeted politely.
