Chamber of Chaos

Below the golden pagoda, a solitary temple stood in the vast snowy meadows.

When Padmapani informed them of their arrival, Hermes slowed down the chariot and gently landed on a patch of thin snow near the temple.

The temple wasn't extremely conspicuous, but the architecture was unique.

It was a fusion between the Buddhist temples of India, which incorporated tall and rounded spikes, and East Asian architecture, which prioritized symmetry and sharp roofs.

Padmapani bowed a few times to the temple and invited them in.

The three removed their footwear and then entered through a sliding door.

The temple was quite large and centered around a courtyard.

Padmapani turned to Hermes and Ashoka, "Sirs, The Buddha requests only Sir Alex, I will lead you to a waiting room."

Hermes pouted and jokingly replied, "We're being chased off~~?"

"I'll be quick, Hermes," Alex rolled his eyes at Hermes' childish attitude.
