Jeong Yeonshin aimed for the window at the rear, not the entrance of the Fortress Lord's office. It was because he was wary of the Head of the Council of Elders Shin Byeok's Qi Sense at this time. If he took a long route, the chances of being discovered were great.
'The Heaven-Defiance Martial Scripture, once fully mastered, is said to make the range of Qi Sense freely adjustable to a great degree.' He did not know if that was true. Jeong Yeonshin climbed through the wide-open window and immediately faced a sight he had missed.
A room where thickly spreading tree trunks clung to the walls and ceiling. It was a sight not seen in the present Fortress Lord's office. It felt more solitary than the office from when Jeong Yeonshin was the Fortress Lord.
Perhaps because every blade of grass felt like a part of his master. Even the wood scent of the World Tree, the Calamity Demon Tree, was deep and quiet.
