Just like yesterday, they had a quick but hearty breakfast before Emilia took Mimi to the place where she would be receiving her compensation treasure—the Silvervein Sacred Clan Vault.
This ancient place had a name: the Sanctuary of Ten Thousand Stars.
There was no building in sight, only a colossal stone gate carved directly into the face of a towering mountain. Rising nearly two hundred meters tall, the gate loomed like the entrance to another world. Its massive surface was etched with intricate designs—dragons soaring through the skies, constellations of stars surrounding them, and at the very center, the sigil of the Silvervein Clan: a dragon's head with eyes set with two giant sapphires.
On either side of the gate stood two terrifying statues. Their bodies were tall and muscular like men, but their heads were those of dragons, jaws open in silent roars. Each held a torch burning with eternal blue flame.
