Chapter 1022: Paradise Representatives



"Will goddess Ilse truly be able to replicate the divine artefact?" Seth asked.

This was one of the most crucial details for Orion's plan to succeed. He knew Orion was trying to build a good relationship with Ilse to persuade her to stay in Paradise. He was slightly worried about the effort involved, fearing the plan might fail and render their efforts useless.

"She will," Orion responded, his tone confident. How can she continue to call herself a goddess if she can't? It will work depending on whether they have a god or someone skilled enough to confirm its authenticity. If that's the case, we can gauge the kind of force we're dealing with, which will benefit us regardless. We can proceed as planned if they can't distinguish the original from the replica."

A look of realization emerged on Seth's face as he nodded in understanding. Their conversation fell silent as they descended the stairs, passing through various building sections until they exited.

When they arrived outside, they noticed several individuals gathered: the Pixies, High Prince Alden and High Princess Morgana, Prince Delmy and Princess Lemy, the Prismerions, former clan leader Olivia Quarwraith, and Jadues Quarwraith, Ralias Prismaflow and Dialia Prismaflow, each accompanied by a Vylkr warrior standing within the defensive line.

Several pieces of luggage containing their belongings were by their sides as they prepared to venture into the outside world to fulfil the tasks given to them by the Key Leaders of Paradise and resume their roles within the Runaway Cities.

"Are all of you prepared?" Orion asked, his gaze sweeping across the individuals before him. They all nodded readily in response.

Orion gestured for them to follow as he rose and ascended into the sky. They had all been taught the flying technique months before, so he needed to witness how far they had progressed. It was a life-saving technique that would make him feel more secure about their safety.

Seth and the Vylkr warriors followed closely behind Orion, ascending into the sky alongside the Pixies. The Prismerions exchanged glances, gritted their teeth, and, despite some difficulty, grabbed their luggage and began their ascent, determined to catch up with the others.

...

Upon arriving at the Sleeping Fox Runaway City, Orion and the others descended onto the

tower.

Lakul and the Sleeping Fox Runaway City leaders stepped forward to greet them. They bowed respectfully before straightening their postures.

Orion nodded, then gestured for High Prince Alden and the Pixies to step forward. "They will be your leaders. High Prince Alden will be the Supreme Leader of the Sleeping Fox Runaway City. High Princess Morgana will become the Supreme Chief of Commerce and the Market Burrows. Prince Delmy will take over as Supreme Master of Natural Resources, and Princess Lemy will become the Supreme Chief of Diplomacy and Envoy."

This was the first time he felt his existence depended on giving a tour of the Runaway City.

Orion nodded, breaking the silence. "Okay. We can use this opportunity to look around the Sleeping Fox Runaway City before we leave."

Lakul's expression immediately brightened, "Follow me; I'll lead the way," he said, walking toward a platform at the tower's entrance that would take them down. Three gods' chosens accompanied him.

Orion and the others followed, arriving at the platform. It was wide enough to accommodate all fourteen of them. Once everyone was on board, the platform descended automatically, passing through several levels within the tower until it reached the Royal Den, the head of the Sleeping Fox Runaway City.

....

Lakul guided Orion and the others through the Sleeping Fox Runaway City, starting from the neck and upper regions, where nobles, high-ranking families, and influential individuals resided. They then moved to the market burrows located at the chest and forearms-this area served as the Runaway City's economic heart.

Next, they explored the Communal Warrens at the back, divided into upper, middle, and lower sections. The upper warren housed the wealthiest residents, while the lower warren, with its dilapidated conditions, resembled a slum the deeper one ventured.

Continuing their tour, they visited the Bastion located at the legs. This area served as the city's defence zone, armoury, primary training ground, and others housing many of the gods' chosen. It was also the most fortified location after the Royal Den.

As they ascended back upwards, they passed through the underbelly-an underground network used for discreet movement between areas. The abdomen, the most crucial part of the Sleeping Fox Runaway City, was responsible for its maintenance and functionality. Among the locations they visited, Orion marked the abdomen for a later visit to better understand its inner workings.

The Tail, also known as the Sky Spire, served as a high vantage point apart from the Ears, providing a sweeping view of the surrounding environment. It also housed most of the gods'

chosens residents.

Lakul spent five and a half hours guiding them through the Sleeping Fox Runaway City, focusing on the most prominent areas. He knew giving a complete tour in just a day or two was impossible, but he was satisfied with the brief overview.

"Whenever you're free and want a closer look at the forge palace, I'll ensure you get a detailed tour," Lakul offered sternly. Despite the Supreme Leader of Paradise's varied questions about each location, most inquiries centred on the forge palace.

Lakul wasn't surprised-it controlled the very structure of the Sleeping Fox Runaway City, making it a natural point of interest for anyone eager to uncover its secrets.
