Chapter 785: Secret Movements

Holy City - Civilian District.

A chaotic accumulation, a densily packed zone of poor and dirty shacks with no planning involved.

The narrow winding roads are overflowing with sewage.

The overly damp environment has fostered a great amount of fungi; you can see mushrooms and moss growing everywhere, from the cracks in the walls to the stones on the ground.

Shaggy mice scurry hither and thither underfoot.

However, these mice are rather 'friendly' towards humans. They make an effort to stay outdoors, scavenging for food in garbage piles and not deliberately spreading diseases.

They seem fully aware that their survival is due to the humans having established the Holy City.

Even the lowest ranking sheriffs avoid this area when they can, haphazardly scribbling in the patrol report to signify this zone has been checked.

At this moment.

A stranger clad in a high-collared trench coat, his face completely obscured, walks into the area.
