A few days later—
When Neonidas and his team stepped out of the teleportation portal, they saw the vast walls of a large city ahead of them. The city was enormous, and behind it, on top of a hill, stood a grand castle-manor. This place belonged to Marquis Alexsaz, and even from a distance, one could see how wealthy the Marquis was. To the west of the city lay an endless ocean, and this city was one of the empire's important port cities. Of course, it had been losing its importance over time, but during Duke Leonardo's reign, this city was undoubtedly the most important port in the empire.
