Chapter 172. The Rightful Master
Kim Do-Joon followed Laoha into the city.
Instead of ordinary stone or marble, the pristine white city's buildings were of unknown materials.
The streets teemed with members of the Mahal Tribe. Some guarded the gates, while others were busy inside the buildings, tending to their livelihoods. Unlike the Mahal Tribe of the forest, these city dwellers were dressed in pure white togas. Their attire was similar to Laoha's, but it lacked the intricate, antique patterns.
Yet, they shared some commonalities with the forest tribe. Horns jutted from their heads, and each carried a sword on their back or at their waist. Even the children running through the streets carried wooden swords proportionate to their small sizes.

The Mahal Tribe must have been created and nurtured by the Holy Spirit Lord. However, they differed greatly from the humans of Siwelin's world, who lived ordinary lives centered on prayer and wishes.
Seeing these people, whose lives revolved around martial prowess, made Kim Do-Joon wonder.
Are they preparing for war?
The thought seemed plausible. Of course, unless he asked directly, it was all assumptions.
“Ah, High Chieftain Laoha!”
“High Chieftain, you’ve returned!”
