Chapter 568: Assassination!

The emperor of the Fire Kirin Empire, Tian Haoyu, was an expert in ancient architecture. He studied history and loved the style of ancient buildings. The entire imperial palace of the empire was composed of brick and tile structures.

According to a statement he made while drunk, metal houses were meant for keeping dogs.

Regardless of the reason behind this statement, many martial artists and nobles within the empire began to appreciate and favor this architectural style, making brick and tile structures popular.

Furthermore, brick and tile houses were considered a luxury in the Fire Kirin Empire and were associated with noble constructions which average people could not afford to live in.

While these houses were certainly beautiful, their insufficient sturdiness was a fatal flaw. Not only were they prone to damage from earthquakes, they could easily be torn apart by enraged martial artists who lost their control, which made them unaffordable for common people.
