Sterl's disguise granted him access to a string of code carried by the unconscious workers he encountered.
After observing the actions of others around him, he swiftly ordered a few dishes and activated the Law of Time, briefly swapping the unconscious worker into his place to execute the necessary code contact, then switched back to his original position seamlessly.
Afterward, Sterl sat calmly, listening intently to everything around him, hoping to gather some intel on Giant City.
The result? Sterl couldn't help but feel exasperated.
It was clear he had logged on at a rather inconvenient time.
The royal capital of Orichalcum was under complete lockdown.
No one was permitted to enter from outside, and no one was allowed to leave the city.
The reason was a massive, ongoing war between this new faction and the forces of Ashen.
The battle had already been raging for three years.
