The crimson sun dipped into the deep mountains, a time when traders should be sparse and travelers rare.
Today, however, was different from usual. Even though it was already seven or eight o'clock, large and small boats and carriages were arriving from all directions.
These boats and carriages often covered with black cloth, and the people stepping out looked mournful.
Among these people, familiar faces of quite a few prominent figures could be seen.
Including County Governor Louise of Northern Black Snake Bay County, Speaker Ottatila of Black Snake Bay Federation, not to mention the governors of several nearby counties.
Even some idle Battle Commanders and many Corps Commanders came as well.
Just looking at the people who have shown up, it was already a gathering of the Holy Alliance's high-level officials.
Traveling merchants soon found out that the founding elder of the Holy Alliance, Patrick, had passed away due to illness.
