Chapter 3: Thorne City
Nestled within two towering mountains, Thorne City stood as a testament to the legacy and power of the House of Thorne. A city filled with grandeur and sophistication that served as the main headquarters where the Thorne family resided. Its walls, forged from the two mountains that flanked its sides, exuded an ancient aura.
Various runes were carved into it, which only increased its majestic appeal to any who saw it. However, right now, Adrian's attention wasn't on the magnificent walls, but rather on the city gates.
Multiple array flags could be spotted in various areas around the two city gates. They definitely werent there the last time he departed from the city.
For some reason, staring at those array of flags planted outside the city gates, Adrian became increasingly anxious.
What was even weirder was that the guards at the city gate were preventing people from leaving the city. The second city gate, which people used to leave the city was closed. This meant that People could only enter the city, but none could leave. This made him even more skeptical of the situation.
Thorne city was run solely by the members of the Thorne family. No other noble family besides them could reside in the city.
All the shops in the city were either run by the Thorne family or had to pay tax to them.
This was the situation in basically all the major cities run by the great families.
'What's going on?' he thought. He didn't rashly enter the city. Who knew what kind of arrays were set up? Perhaps rashly entering would trigger something unexpected.
