The brightly lit reception hall.
Sunan and the Traveler sat across from each other, engaged in pleasant conversation.
"How have you been these past three days?"
"Very well," the Traveler replied with a smile. "I haven't stayed in such comfortable quarters in the underground world for quite some time. Before, for convenience, I always stayed in caves, and when I entered a city-state, I could only afford a simple inn."
Upon hearing this, Sunan became curious and asked, "Which city-state was that?"
"The Dark Elves' city-state, over a thousand kilometers from here."
"Could you tell me more about it?"
"Of course," the Traveler agreed readily.
During his three-day stay in Ghost Lake City, he explored the entire city-state. Although he didn't get to visit the intriguing Base No. 2, he gained a general understanding of the power dynamics in Ghost Lake City.
Currently, the military strength of Ghost Lake City far exceeds that of eight years ago.
