Published at 4th of July 2023 08:15:47 AM



The Forbidden Capital of the Sun Empire was absolutely stunning to behold.

Imagine nine enormous mountains arranged in a perfect circle, defying the laws of gravity. It was an extraordinary sight that left onlookers in awe. Each mountain had its own unique appeal, with vibrant greenery, cascading waterfalls, and intricate structures adorning their rugged surfaces.

What made this sight even more remarkable was the fact that all nine mountains were interconnected by robust stone bridges. These bridges served as sturdy pathways, allowing visitors to traverse between the majestic peaks.

And at the heart of this enchanting landscape stood a colossal gate. It was no ordinary gate but a long-distance teleporter, a true masterpiece of intricate craftsmanship made by the finest alchemists of the empire. Its design was nothing short of awe-inspiring, captivating the imagination of all who gazed upon it.

In front of the grand gates stood guards dressed in shining silver armor, holding sturdy spears. They presented a formidable presence, standing tall and vigilant.

Suddenly, the gates shimmered with a mystical glow, and a mesmerizing blue vortex appeared at their center.

Emerging from this magical gateway were a group of intriguing individuals, each with their own distinct disposition and aura.

Leading the way was a strong and muscular figure, bald but with an air of confidence. He wore khaki clothing and a turban, emanating an aura of power.

Walking alongside him was a strikingly handsome man dressed in flowing black robes that seemed to radiate an otherworldly charm. His presence resembled that of an immortal being as if he had stepped out from a painting.

Standing beside the enigmatic figure was another equally captivating individual. If the first person had a devilishly handsome appearance, this second person possessed an angelic beauty. Their features were so flawless that it seemed as if they had been cast out from heaven itself.

This odd group also had a pair of half-elves, sharing an uncanny resemblance that captivated all who saw them.

Following closely behind them were four women, each possessing their own unique allure.

Two of them were adorned with exceptional beauty, capturing the attention of all with their radiant presence.

The other two had a more endearing charm, an irresistibly cute quality.

All four were dressed in magnificent attire, reflecting the fact that they came from a well-off family and were not to be messed with!

The guards stationed before the towering gates barked, "Halt! Who are you?"

Arlo confidently displayed a gleaming medallion.

"I have seen the scaleless."

Upon glimpsing the medallion, the captain of the guards dropped to his knees, a look of profound reverence etched on his face.

This response stemmed from a vital understanding shared among those in important positions within the capital. They had been entrusted with the knowledge to identify the Hidden Blades of the Sun by the Sun.

The Sun, valuing and cherishing these exceptional individuals, had explicitly instructed his subordinates to treat the Hidden Blades with the same respect as they would offer to him. This decree was born out of the Sun's deep affection and unwavering trust in the Hidden Blades, ensuring that they would receive the utmost honor and deference when they set foot in his home ground.

It should be mentioned that this understanding permeated the ranks of those in significant roles in the entire empire. So no matter where Arlo goes, the powerhouses in that area will treat him with respect the moment he shows them the proof of his true identity!

"We have seen the scaleless!"

Witnessing their leader's reaction, the other guards swiftly followed suit, kneeling before Arlo.

What a shocking scene this was!

ƥαṇdαηθνε Arlo gestured for them to rise, his voice filled with reassurance. "Rise, good guards. There is no need for such formality."

The guards, no longer burdened by formality, swiftly regained their composure and stood upright.

With the guard no longer obstructing their path, the group was granted passage into the revered Forbidden Capital. The grand gates swung open, revealing a majestic staircase that led to the different mountains.

"It has been far too long since we last shared a drink together, my old friend," The Empire's Sun remarked with a hint of nostalgia in his voice. Although he was sitting on a throne deep within a majestic palace, his eyes reflected the figure of Arlo, who had just set inside the Forbidden Capital.

Arlo, caught off guard by Sun's sentiment, couldn't help but smile warmly.

"Indeed, our responsibilities have kept us apart for too long," Arlo replied to the Sun telepathically, his voice laced with a mix of fondness and longing.

Hearing his reply, a mischievous glint twinkled in the eye of the Sun, who extended an invitation to party with a hearty chuckle.

"Why don't we rectify that tonight? Come, let's revel in the joys of friendship and partake in the finest drink this Forbidden Capital that we have painstakingly created has to offer."

"I would be honored to join you, my dear friend," Arlo accepted Sun's invitation with a nod.

After the talk with the emperor, Arlo made the decision to part ways with Roy and the rest of the group.

Roy, puzzled by this sudden change, couldn't help but inquire, "Where are you headed?"

"I am off to reunite with an old friend," Arlo responded, a knowing smile playing on his lips.

Those enigmatic words were still hanging in the air when Arlo leaped towards the most glorious of the floating mountains like a rocket. He disappeared from Roy and the other's sight in an instant.

Delilah chimed in, "I should go too."

The Female Siren couldn't help but inquire, "Where is she headed?"

Roy, keeping his response brief yet intriguing, replied, "She's taking care of some business for me."

Delilah's objective was to infiltrate the Asura Gate Organization in order to gather valuable information about Rose Charlotte's misdeeds on behalf of Roy. The evidence she sought to obtain would expose Rose's involvement in hiring assassins to kill Roy. It would provide crucial leverage for Roy's plans to confront her during the upcoming awakening ceremony. He wanted to get rid of her once and for all without destroying his own reputation or life!
