Chapter 748
Randel and Syl arrive in front of the closest black cube, the most common entrance point from the Ellipsia Citadel Fast Travel Orbs.
Usually, a visiting party would be guided through a number of checkpoints and surveillance levels before accessing the long-term storage areas of the fortress.
While this takes quite a while, the more time-consuming part is getting on the waitlist to be guided in. For an average Lord, this may take months, or even up to a year. That would be if you have a storage box already and are just trying to access it. Beginning the process to rent a space could take years or even decades to be accepted and reviewed to make it on the list.
Just a few years is not long to wait when most of the storage cubes here have lasted longer than most of the workers that man the security checkpoints—hundreds of thousands of years.
Though, the schedule for picking up this package is much more urgent.
Randel scans the entrance platform that the two of them step onto, and once their ether transport orb dissipates, the slow walk toward hundreds of doors with guards in front of them begins.
His heart rate increases as more standard default welcoming messages and instructions on how to enter the Citadel ring through his mind.
A majority of the guards lined up in front of the one-kilometer-tall black door are very familiar Demonic Servant Avatars, yet he steers clear from trying to enter one of those doors.
While some may lead him near the location he's heading, a majority are mostly demon-owned entrances and only lead to private facilities and demon-only storage rooms he wants no part of.
