Chapter 590: Meditation
Alex kept looking at Sylas' side profile as they ran.
"Pay attention to yourself." Sylas said, suddenly snapping Alex out of his thoughts.
The man looked ahead to find that Cairith was already coming into view...
As did the pyramids.
Many who had never been to this part of the Africor Continent underestimated just how intertwined the pyramids were with the citizens of Cairith.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
The pyramids were practically a part of the city line, integrated into the very fabric of the city itself.
One could also see the sheer amount of respect that the people here held for it. Despite having the technology to do so, there wasn't a single building here taller than the pyramids, as though acknowledging their superiority in a silent, somber sort of way.
As expected, though, Alex and Sylas couldn't even get close... at least not without getting into a battle or finding themselves another identity. These robes weren't going to cut it.
However, they had their own plan for that.
Stopping a long distance away, Alex pulled out the Glass Monkey.
Cairith was an interesting place for more reasons than just the proximity to the pyramids and how city life seemed to blend perfectly into it. There were two more reasons to be specific.
First, the Aether here was quite exceptional. It wasn't quite as good as what one would see from the Aether Plane, but it was about 80% similar, making it more than good enough for battle.
And second, they seemed to have still managed to find a way to perfectly control the beast population so that it didn't influence things.
Alex forced the Glass Monkey's jaw open and poured a Healing Elixir down its throat. Then, after getting as close as they could, they buried it into the ground.
According to their plan, the Glass Monkey, much like all beasts, would make its way toward the higher concentration of Aether. Once it did that, all hell would break loose.
That was because, unlike the two of them, the Glass Monkey had a fondness and ability to do two things...
The first was traveling underground, especially sandy ground.
