Chapter 23 - City of Neversetting Sun

This chapter has been translated by wychwe, all credits belong to them.

This was the largest fortress town in the south of the Kaya Empire — called the Neversetting Sun.

Neversetting Sun. This described the enormity of this area. It would take a whole day to cross from the east to the west. When it was in the wee hours on the east side, the sun had not yet set on the west side

Luska's Radiance Continent was divided into the north and the south by the Great Forest of the Neversettting Sun. The forest bisected the entire continent. It was hundreds of thousands of miles long, and ten thousand miles wide which formed a natural barrier between the north and the south. If one travelled by foot, it would take half a year to pass through. Also, there were numerous dangers in the forest. Even many spirit magisters and sacred swordsmen did not dare to cross it alone. This caused the communication between north and south to be difficult and caused a state where the north was prosperous and the south was behind.

In the north was the Kaya Empire, Tisse Republic, the Kingdom of Padoric, and the Kingdom of Hezekistan. These were the four great countries. In the south, there were only some relatively small countries. None of the southern countries to compare to the four countries in the north. The Kaya Empire's borders reached the south, but only a small part.

Due to this, it was not strange at all that a small city like Qin City would rarely see a senior magister.

The City of the Neversetting Sun was the biggest fortress on the south side of the Forest of the Neversetting Sun for the Kaya Empire. It relied on the abundant resources of the Forest of the Neversetting Sun. Explorers, businessmen, and mercenary companies constantly came to this city. This was the hub for heading to the four big countries in the north. It could rival the famed northern city Liscia in scale and was twenty times the size of a normal city.

Near the evening, as the sun came down, a youth wearing a tattered long black robe stared with a shocked expression at everything at the gates of the Fortress of the Neversetting Sun.

City walls over a hundred meters tall that reached into the sky. They were more than seven meters in thickness. There was a green layer of pitch painted over the city walls. The city was ancient and vast. At the top of the city walls were more than a dozen towers, some with staging areas for magus crystal cannons. Standing guard at the two sides of the fortress were soldiers on alert dressed in heavy armor. Lion-vulture squads flew in the air in teams. They occasionally patrolled the ground. Everything was so solemn, grand and vast.

The black-robed youth couldn't help but murmur in shock, "I hadn't thought that I would encounter such a magnificent city here."

This youth had a head of long black hair, strong and handsome brows. While not tall, the youth gave off a reliable presence. Everyone passing by couldn't help but take a few more seconds to look at the elegant and handsome silver wolf that was half a person tall next to the youth. But when they saw the youth's expression and ragged clothing, they all showed disdainful expressions.

The classic country bumpkin coming to the city, never had seen anything before, even if the other was a magus beast and probably a magister!

In the City of the Neversetting Sun, it was not rare to see magisters above seven-sword or higher. It was even possible to see many strong nine-sword magisters, and senior magisters with their magus beasts. Wind wolves, sabretooth tigers, patterned panthers, snow monsters, mountain spirit cats, and many magus beasts that people could not name.

"Liao Ya, let's go." After a short pause, the black-robed youth stepped out and was going to enter this vast fortress city.

"Stop! Suspicious person are not allowed to enter the Fortress of Neversetting Sun!" A soldier dressed in heavy armor who had been observing the other for a long time suddenly raised his sharp spear and blocked the youth. His cold gaze carried some threads of disdain.
