The main streets in the city center were still crowded with people.
Trade continued.
Cart wheels creaked on the stone pavement.
Merchants haggled over prices.
Adventurers returned toward the guild carrying their spoils.
From the outside, everything looked ordinary.
But that was only appearance.
Inside the city, movement had already begun.
Aurora's arrival had put everyone on alert.
And the factions had no intention of remaining silent.
A little away from the city center stood an old stone building.
This building was one of the merchants' guild warehouses.
From outside it looked like an ordinary trade warehouse.
But inside, something else took place.
Today a small meeting was being held here.
But this was not an ordinary meeting.
Here two major guilds were meeting.
The Merchants' Guild.
And
The Adventurers' Guild.
Their alliance controlled half of the city's economy.

The large room on the upper floor was closed off.
