While Minos and his wives were heading to the place in the Holy Sect where they could order their techniques, Troy and Ford were walking around the outside area of that sect.
The Holy Sect had a headquarters city where most of its members lived together with the locals. There were focal points in this city where only authorized people could go, but places such as the commercial area and others were freely accessible.
In the case of where these two individuals were at the moment, this was where the stores of the elders and their disciples were located, one of the most important places in this city.
This area was open to anyone since this organization, like others in this state, was open for business and did not limit who its members did business with.
