Chapter 40: The Secret in Sating Castle

Sating Castle was not close to North Mountain Manor; it could not even be considered part of the jurisdiction of Yulang City.

Departing from North Mountain Manor by carriage, it took a full day and night to arrive.

Sitting in the carriage, Kaios looked at the solitary castle standing in the middle of a desolate wasteland, his expression calm.

After Sharvella, who was driving the carriage, called out twice, a head peeked over the top of the castle to take a look, followed by the sound of the main gate opening.

This territory was essentially a wasteland. For several kilometers around, there were no other buildings besides this castle, nor were there any farms, factories, or other economic units. It was quite far from the main city and fell outside the patrol range of the Punishment Knight Order.

Therefore, Sating Castle had to guard against wild beasts and potential lone-Wolf bandits. The castle's gates were usually kept tightly shut, and the drawbridge was raised.
