The port city—Diptus.

Its architectural style bore a strong resemblance to Zion,

or rather, the humans across this continent all favored modern Gothic architecture (Gothic Revival) when building large cities. Its main features were tall, slender spires and steeples.

The plague colonies of the Old World seemed to favor this architectural style as well, preserving it completely.

Or perhaps the Tooth Hall did not reject human culture. It was also quite receptive and willing to change.

Yue!

Even William felt nauseated
