An ancient totem was carved at the city gate, the edge of the half-crescent silver moon sharp like a beast's fang. On closer inspection, that new moon seemed to hide a beastly silhouette, vaguely hinting at something more.
Shen Tang didn't fully understand it at the moment, her attention more drawn to the numbers beneath the totem—
Nineteen Cities.
She turned to Bai Lei beside her and curiously asked, "Ah Lei, why is this place called the Nineteen Cities?"
Bai Lei smiled and explained, "Although the Purification Zone covers less than 10% of the planet's area, there are many factions and cities within. Here, we belong to the outermost jurisdiction, the Nineteenth City, and above us are the Eighteenth City, Seventeenth City... even the legendary First Royal City!"
