Shiyu Ling whistled: "Welcome to Hundred Birds City, the city-state on ancient tree branches!"

Gongsun Ce docked the Dawn Star at the uppermost "Main Crown Airport" of Hundred Birds City. He thought he'd be grabbing long vines or riding giant ants down the tree, but instead, the airport had elevators connecting the layers of the giant tree. The staff told him this place's structure is unique and particularly easy to get lost in. "You'd better find a local guide who knows the area, man. People used to living on the ground get easily confused in vertical cities; they can't even read maps."
"What if I could fly?" Gongsun Ce joked.
The staff he was chatting with was named Husto Reine, who had two long, shiny silver whip-like prosthetics. Listening to this, he laughed, the kind of friendly smile you give when you hear a common misconception.
"A solo flying device would make things worse; you can't possibly know which area under the canopy has the clinic you're looking for."
