The protection of the Lord of Scalefeather was especially potent during the night.
Even as Avalon and Star Antimony waged war, Aiwass, Counselor, Grape, and Olive, a party of four, still managed to avoid both sides and safely reach the Hall of Silver and Tin under the cover of night.
However, by this time, the Hall of Silver and Tin had completely lost its original shape.
The palace, now occupied by the Flame Demons, had entirely transformed into a stronghold for the Flame Demons—the walls and floor were scorching hot, and merely entering one would feel an unbearable burning sensation and difficulty breathing; the soles of one's boots partially melted due to the high temperature, creating a sticky sensation and a tearing sound when walking, and direct contact with the walls would instantly cause blisters.
Knights still patrolled the area, and servants roamed the court.
