Gritting his teeth in frustration, Lith made sure one more time that no one was around and that his arrival had triggered no silent alarm that might have escaped the Eyes of Menadion from the outside.

He waited in a nearby alley for a few minutes, but no sound nor person came.
At that point, Lith used Gravity Fusion to quickly climb the nearest wall and reach a vantage point on the top of the tallest building he found.
As he looked at the landscape, he noticed that just like Reghia, the city of the children of Glemos was a patchwork of different city blocks, each built to help members of different species to cope with their semi-fallen state.

The buildings that reached all the way up to the ceiling were inhabited by goblins who needed space to house enough of them to practice high-level magic despite their individually weak cores.
Entire city blocks were comprised of lush green areas that were too thick with trees and wild to be a park.

Even though light spread evenly from the arrays, several city blocks were pitch black from a darkness of magical origin. Some houses were as luxurious as mansions while others were little more than burrows, their entrances marked by circular holes in the ground.
'My bet is that reverted ogres live in the green, Balors and Fomors in the Mansions, trolls in the darkened areas, while Hati and wargs live in the burrows.' Lith thought. 'Which leaves out where the reverted orcs live.
'They descend from the elves just like the goblins so they should like trees and stuff.' Yet looking at what he had already assumed was the goblins' nest, he found the idea ridiculous himself.

'I'll worry about this later. My first priority is to find Solus. Let's check why earlier she cut the mind link without a word.' Lith opened the connection again, noticing a very long blue strand that extended from him and moved past the horizon.

'Fuck me sideways, that's why!' He thought while shutting the link down before it was even fully formed. 'Aside from orc shamans, fallen races can't Awaken, but many of them have outstanding mana perception.
'If any of them is close enough, they would not only uncover my position, but even Solus'!'
Cursing his bad luck, Lith returned to the alley and summoned Valia, Varegrave, Trion, and Locrias. With the Demons on the lookout, he could afford to enter a meditative state to try and use his bond with the tower to locate Solus.

While sitting down on the ground with his eyes closed, he sensed her presence somewhere on the east side of the city, but he had no idea how far and deep she was. Then, he put inside Soluspedia a scroll reading: "Where are you?".
The answer came out of the pocket dimension in the form of a piece of paper that said: "City Hall".

'Any idea which building might be the city hall?' Lith asked and the four Demons shrugged in confusion.
descend from humans so we have to search for a human-ish settling.'
'You are the one who interacts with Emperor Beasts on a daily basis.' Locrias said. 'You are the one who should know.'
