Kyle walked into the town with his disguise, and nobody paid him any attention.
Plenty of powerful people traveled through the town, and the appearance of a Fire Sorcerer was not unusual.
Kyle walked around the town, listening to a couple of people talking on the street.
Sadly, it took quite a long while until someone mentioned the Divine Light. People generally didn't talk about stuff like that in their everyday lives.
When he heard somebody talking about the Divine Light, he stopped and approached that person.
"You do know that all of that is bullshit, right?" Kyle commented with a snort. "What Divine Light? Everything in this world has a natural explanation."
In order to gain information, Kyle decided to channel his inner Reddit atheist.
"Do not disrespect the Divine Light! The enemies of the Divine Light will be punished when Judgment Day arrives!" the man shouted with anger.
"Oh, yeah? I'm talking about the Divine Light however I want. I don't see anyone stopping me."
Over the next minutes, Kyle entered a vicious religious argument with the man, and as was normal with such direct confrontations, shows of dominance started to appear more and more frequently.
"Yeah? What are you gonna do about it?"
"You wanna go right now?"
"Oh, is that so?"
"Find someone of your own size!"
"You're a Sorcerer! I'm a regular smith! If you want to argue, go talk to Servant Matthew! He will show you!"
"Oh yeah? And where is this Servant Matthew?" freewёbnoνel.com
"They left just one day ago. They went to Sunrise! If you're so tough, tell him what you told me!"
"I will! You will see!"
Then, Kyle stormed off.
As soon as he left, his emotions calmed down almost immediately, and a smirk appeared on his face.
'Gottem!'
Kyle got rid of his disguise and assumed his old appearance again before going back to his group.
"They left for Sunrise about a day ago," he reported.
The others furrowed their brows.
This was bad.
Sunrise was the biggest city between Starkhold and Deep Cove. It was about as big as Starkhold, and it also acted as the headquarters for the Sandsuns.
"What would you suggest we do?" Horatio asked Kyle.
"Go to Sunrise, find them, and wait outside the city," Kyle said.
"Sounds like a plan," Horatio said. "Everyone, let's do as Kyle suggested."
The others agreed and traveled further east.
Some minutes later, they arrived in front of a massive crater.
Lava from the surrounding black spires gathered in the crater, creating a thick river of lava around it.
The lava entered underground channels of the city and traveled through it.
While the city was quite hot due to the lava around it, it also had a couple of unique amenities.
For example, every house had a thick trapdoor that could be lifted to gain access to the actual lava river, which they could then use to cook.
Even more, lava was a great heating tool for smithing, and when Fire Ether fused with lots of Earth Ether, it could create valuable and unique minerals.
Sunrise made its money with ore exports and forging services.
In essence, Sunrise was the arms manufacturer for most humans in a 500-kilometer radius.
The next forging city was Forthing's Hold, which was around a thousand kilometers to the east of Sunrise.
In terms of fortifications, Sunrise was even stronger than Starkhold since it had many powerful families living there.
It also acted as the primary home for one of the Dukes, and every Duke was at least in the Late Third Realm.
These were people who could even attempt fighting Theodor, though chances of victory were low.
Just like earlier, Kyle disguised himself and entered the city.
It wasn't difficult to find the target.
