Chapter 181: Throne Room Of Shorekeeper
He could see thousands of steps rising from the mountain towards the palace. He could see the torches burning brightly despite the heavy snowfall on the roads. He could see the enormous Shorekeeper crest carved into the massive mountain.
It was truly a masterpiece. Cassandra had created a true work of art.
When Atlas looked around, he saw the beauty of the roads. He saw the statues of himself and his sister Eva standing at the entrance to the city as if to say that they would always watch those entering the city.
He saw dozens of ordinary people of different races walking around the city, laughing and having a good time.
Over two hundred thousand people, consisting of slaves from various backgrounds such as former sex slaves, labourers, and many others, had already begun living in this city, and even if Atlas did not notice, millions more would come to live here in the future.
Each of the 7 Sages and their leader, Duke Shorekeeper himself, who resided in the grand Shadowfall Palace... He would watch over millions of them like the apple of his eye.
"So... This is Shorekeeper City."
After taking a deep breath, Atlas felt a sense of peace wash over him beneath the falling snow. It was a strange feeling, one he hadn’t felt in a long time. War, development, and the resulting stress had worn him out so much that, after a long time, he was finally able to take a deep breath for the first time as he entered the massive city gates that belonged to him.
He began to walk slowly. He seemed to ignore Cassandra, Juliet, and Irene, who were following him. With a gentle smile on his face, he continued to walk, hearing the cheerful voices of street vendors, musicians, and even woodcarvers working in the middle of the street as he passed through each area.
To be honest, Atlas was struggling to resist turning around and giving Cassandra a big hug. The Ancient Woman had truly done an excellent job.
Cassandra had not only done an excellent job, she had created a masterpiece. Even if Atlas did not know it, Cassandra had had to spend nearly four billion gold pieces over the course of two years for this city.
