Chen Ke pulled out his Nokia E63, and unsurprisingly, there was no signal. He used the 2-megapixel camera to snap a panoramic shot of the kingdom below the cliff.
The cliff was considerably high; he estimated that heading down to the city would be about 300 meters. The entire kingdom wasn't all that large. Chen Ke looked around, noting two city walls that divided the urban area, with buildings linked one after another almost without gaps. Most buildings outside the walls had tiled roofs with chimneys, while those inside were adorned with spires and flying buttresses.
The building cluster extended from the distant King's City right to the cliff beneath Chen Ke's feet. As he lay on the edge and peered down, he saw a large white steepled cathedral built against the cliff.
