Thousands of Luxurious carriages decorated with priceless jewels and rare mana crystals being pulled by all kinds of domesticated energy beasts came to a stop outside the courtyard. Well-dressed men and women descended those carriages and made their way inside the courtyard. These were all important guests from all over the continent, rich, powerful people, all putting on their most expensive clothes and riding in the most expensive carriages.
