As the Chaos continued to ensue outside of Ress, the kingdom enclosed within the isolation barrier had never been better. Refugees who came in were in for a shock.
They had never seen so many high rise buildings (which Jin and his mage engineers had managed to fix after the loss of the isolation barrier) and the city was enormous compared to their kingdoms.
There were no horses or carts on the streets and everything was running through metal carriages that were capable of carrying more than a dozen people through the roads. Speaking of roads, the cobblestone roads were so neatly done that there were long metal tracks that allowed those metal carriages to carry people from one area to another.
The streets were filled with a variety of plants and trees which made the city lush and beautiful. But this was compounded by the fact that the citizens had a different kind of streetwear than the refugees.
