Soon after this, Lyrian and Jue, along with the other two Black Petal Sect members, made their way up the hill that this part of the city was built on.
As they traveled up, more and more big buildings began to appear.
Finally, at the very top of the hill was a large Edo-period Japanese-style building that had many connecting buildings near it.
It was blocked off by a large gate, and within this estate were several smaller versions of the same building.
At the start of the gate was a large courtyard that connected all of these buildings.
Jue led Lyrian to the one in the middle, the largest one. It had a small 2 case flight elevating the building's porch a foot off of the ground.
Here, Jue's two acquaintances stood beside the doorway and allowed Jue and Lyrian to enter alone.
As soon as Lyrian entered he was met with an expansive interior.
Several rooms existed to the sides filled with many workers completing paperwork.
