"Ah." Zoe immediately exclaimed excitedly, "Finally, I can check out that room in the sky."

She wanted to sprint up the spiral staircase right away, but was stopped by the Order Knight here.

Before entering the Council Hall, weapons must be handed over for them to watch over.

Elaphia had mentioned this, so today Li Ang had the young girls dressed in casual clothes, although weapons were still carried normally, just in case because the Holy City had been invaded by the Fairy Dragon.

After laying down the weapons, Zoe took the lead and dashed up the spiral staircase.

The cloud-hosted open Council Hall is the most imaginative place in the Holy City. Though the Gate of Brilliance is majestic, tourists can ascend it, while this Council Hall may only be accessed by twenty or thirty people over a century.

Dorothy clearly understood the importance of the situation, she didn't miss any detail, keeping an eye on every aspect from ascending the golden spiral staircase.

ALulu understood the sanctity here, her pure little face serious and solemn, though with her physique, it appeared not too serious to others.

Andasu lightly tapped on some things she saw, trying to understand their constructs.

Sisyphus chuckled lightly as he walked, "Today's Council has indeed welcomed some unique visitors."

Mort was comparably tense; he never thought this lone mercenary would have the qualification to come here.

Due to the need to lay down weapons, Li Ang found that in the Council Hall, Elaphia rarely put away her Flying Sword and walked on the ground.

So today she wore exquisite little leather shoes, not revealing her rounded toes outside the ankle socks.

Noticing Li Ang's gaze, Aifei blushed and patted her skirt, her little short legs swiftly moving forward.

The Council Hall was constructed somewhat like a courtroom; the Speaker presiding would sit with his back to the Gate of Brilliance, while the remaining thirteen chairs were arranged in a circle around a circular table.

In the center of the circle was a solitary podium for speaking, with vacancies beside each seat allowing access to the middle. Standing upon it, one would reach the highest point in the venue.

The Speaker's seat was also elevated above the ground, Sisyphus wielded the Golden Staff, constructing six chairs from Pure Magic Material nearby, specially prepared for Li Ang's group and Mort.

"The council members should arrive soon." Sisyphus said gently.

There was still half an hour before the meeting time; Li Ang's group arrived early, coincidentally encountering the troublemaker Yosain Cha'Ain.

The young girls walked to the edge of the Council Hall; from a visual standpoint, there was nothing obstructing them ahead, a misstep would result in a plummet from hundreds of meters high.

Zoe cautiously reached out her hand, then was stopped by an invisible wall.

"There really is a barrier." she exclaimed in surprise.

"Of course, otherwise at such a high place, how strong do you think the wind would be? With your body weight, you might be blown away directly."

"Hmm."

Assured of their safety, the young girls began to admire the cityscape viewed from the clouds.

Though sailing in the sky allows a glimpse of some sights, that's due to the Arcane Shield, with only blurry shadows visible from the high sky outside. It's necessary to stand here to experience the impact of the view when architecture's height surpasses biological limits and breaches the boundaries of usual imagination.

The Holy City's white terraced houses had become microscopic, the meticulously planned wide avenues and colorful city landscaping adorned it into a refined garden.

Viewing the scenery here brings a sense of physical and mental relaxation; perhaps building the tower so high serves as both a symbol and the founder's intent to remind all—in whatever capacity they hold—of certain matters, whether council members or ordinary citizens.

Seeing Zoe's rapt expression, Li Ang thought about her background.

Lichman Cha'Ain, Yosain Cha'Ain, and the Cha'Ain whom Zoe's father had dealings with.

Zoe's father mentioned Cha'Ain in his notes quite some time ago.

Could it be Yosain? This person is much older than Li Ang, if he had known Zoe's father eight years ago, at that time he would have been in his twenties, which is feasible.

Li Ang felt uneasy.

Given that person's demeanor, he hoped the Cha'Ain Zoe's father knew wasn't the same as Yosain.

However, he might have other blood relatives. The good news is they at least knew where to start searching.

Not knowing what he was thinking, Zoe returned his gaze with a smile.

Andasu, gazing at the sky, seemed to contemplate, noticing Li Ang's gaze, the beast-eared maiden said, "Usually when sailing, we also fly so high, but why isn't there a strong wind here?"

This indeed is a common question from Nebis; many ask it before embarking on overseas journeys.

"That's because the wind of the islands is produced by the natural circulation of the Material Dimension. In the cycle, the higher the place, the stronger the wind, until moving out of the island's boundary. Outside the island, the wind above is the irregular movement of the Wind Element."

"Noted," White Wolf nodded.

Nearby, Elaphia asked Sisyphus, "Where are the other nuisances? Taking too long."

"Since the meeting was suddenly convened, a few can't make it." Sisyphus shook his head, saying "Supreme Glory" is tackling dire straits, and the leader of "the Fellowship of Fortunate Stars" is unreachable, the responses from individual merit holders were erratic, everyone had engagements, none of the top three ranked were present.

A Xiang chuckled, "Honestly, I thought I was casual enough."

Li Ang approached them and asked A Xiang, "Is your sword the 'Bone-Deep Passion and Scorn'?"
