Asiala—East City Gate
The towering city gate was so high that one had to crane one's neck at a ninety-degree angle just to see the top.
Black stone formed its main structure. The blocks were neat and tightly fitted, reflecting a heavy metallic sheen.
Straining her eyes, Moss could vaguely see streams of light flashing between the gaps in the masonry.
They were fine and intricate... Even with Moss's astonishing eyesight, she could barely make out the faintly flickering incantations beneath those streams of light.
Black Goldstone, a heavy and hard metallic ore with nearly eighty percent magic resistance.
Its unique material structure makes it even heavier and harder than refined steel.
I heard it's a controlled resource that the Empire has forbidden people from mining and trading.
They even used a large amount of Mithril in the gaps between the walls to construct defensive magic arrays?
How many layers are there? They're really rich.
Moss gazed at the towering city walls, which were comparable to a mountain of Gold Coins, and could not help sighing inwardly.
"We're going this way, Mr. Moss."
Yulia's voice came from beside her, interrupting her thoughts.
Moss turned her head and looked at Yulia in confusion.
Yulia raised her hand and pointed toward the inspection checkpoint beside the city gate, then said to Moss with a smile:
"That's the passage reserved for the cavalry. Mr. Moss, come with us."
"Then I'll trouble you."
Moss did not refuse. She nodded with a light smile.
Although it was only just past dawn, a large crowd of people wanting to enter or leave the city had already gathered on the other side.
If she did not want to stand in line and wait bitterly, following Yulia and the others was indeed a good choice.
"Giddy-up."
Clatter, clatter...
