No Time for Poisons 2

Once out of the building, Daniel walked towards the inhabited area of Ton Bes' only city, along with Aeron.

Despite the fact that the city was mostly home to poison masters, it was oddly clean, and strangely advanced. Thanks to his comprehension of the elements, Daniel could feel that the buildings were made of an unusual mixture of lime, sand, gravel, and water, which had mixed into massive blocks of hard material. Inside these large blocks, he could also feel a skeleton made of bars of pure steel, which made the building even more resistant.

To a person used to simple cities with cobblestone ground, and buildings made out of blocks carved from larger stones, bricks, and wood, a city like this seemed to have come straight from the future. Shops, restaurants, company building, all covered in glass, and showing their elegant interiors to the people that walked the streets.
