Alexio Fernandes and his colleagues followed the boy to inspect the arms workshops. While they were boarding a carriage and heading to their destination, Andre Sousa noticed something unusual about the carriage ride. He did not notice it before because they were still in the outskirts of the city when they met with Thomas, but now that he looked at it, the whole carriage ride was very smooth. Out of curiosity, Andre pulled the curtain of the carriage aside only to see a neatly paved grey road stretching in a straight line to the heart of the city.
Out of curiosity, he had the carriage stop, got out, and personally inspected the road. He even took the sphere the guard soldier was holding and hit the road with all the force he could muster. To the surprise of everyone around him, except for Laksh and the residents of Vijayanagara, there was no substantial visible damage.
