After arranging everything, Asuna arrived at the entrance to the underground first level.
The entrance had been sealed tightly by a massive iron door, with rows of black workers standing guard, always ready at a moment's notice. Upon seeing Asuna, they were so stirred with emotion, they could hardly stop themselves from falling to their knees to kiss her toes in a show of loyalty.
However, they restrained themselves. It wasn't that they didn't want to, but Asuna had made it clear from the very beginning that following the rules here was the greatest expression of loyalty to her.
They certainly didn't want to betray Asuna's expectations and be banished to the Cold Palace, never to see the esteemed Asuna again.
Asuna didn't so much as glance at the black workers but went straight to the Manager who was fiddling with the Crystal Ball, "How goes it? Can you see the situation inside?"
