When morning came and the sun rose into the sky, Shin and Lilia walked out of the tower after eating a hearty breakfast of grilled monster meat. It was only a day of eating only monster meat, but it was already getting old.
The tough meat never grew softer, and Lilia started to find it boring. She asked Shin if they could find something else in the forest, like berries. He didn't know if they could or not.
For now, the fastest way for them to get better food is to finish this trial.
The massive city seems to be made of three rings of walls. The outer wall that they stand on, and then two more inner walls before reaching the castle that nests in the middle.
The next inner wall looked close enough from above the wall, but it wasn't. Shin frowned as he counted the buildings between them and the next wall, then compared it with the ones near it.
Hundreds, if not thousands, of buildings. It'll take them hours to reach the next wall, so they should start moving.
