Near Monopolizing

Shirley and Schleya returned to their floating island. The moment they set foot on the island, Shirley heaved a sigh of relief, feeling the air turn lighter. She was afraid that something worse would happen when she set out, but fortunately, she encountered no problem while traversing out.

"The Aurora Cloud Gate is quite safe!"

She declared as she turned to look at Schleya. The latter nodded, having the same opinion.

The patrols walked over the public spaces and even in the designated air routes… everything was protected. Almost every public island had an elder in charge, and the treasury seemed to be well-guarded. The people whom she saw may be old people, but Nadia was unable to sense anything from them, making it possible that they were peak existences within the surface of the Aurora Cloud Gate since they were standing- no, sitting guard outside.
