The gates into the settlement were open, tied with ropes, and held up by strong boulders on the other side. Moving through the gateway, Ace couldn't help but ask, "Why is there such a big wall here? Something attacks you people?"
But that must be impossible since all kinds of threat this close to royalty would be annihilated by the Guards or even the King himself might interfere if need be.
Who can resist him?
Rome shook his head from the back of the horse, "Nothing attacks us, but sometimes, there are landslides or earthquakes that quake the entire settlement, but this Wall, our chief used some magical method on it to make it impervious to quakes and all, so it's really safe inside."
'Gu?' Ace thought inside, after all, only a Gu can change such fundamental properties of something and last this long.
Passing through the last layer of shadows that hid from him what lay ahead, Ace looked infront of him. He couldn't help his heart beating faster.
