Shadow Slave
Chapter 564
The interior of the somber cathedral was as bizarre as its exterior. Sunny expected the actual floors to be constructed properly, and some of the corridors they walked through were. But other parts of Night Temple were upside-down, as well, the flat floors serving as ceilings and the arching ceiling serving as uneven floors.
And that was just the outward ring. He didn't even want to imagine how the temple itself and the inner sanctum looked.
As they walked, he saw several Lost silently going about the mundane business of maintaining the Citadel. They were dressed in the same crude clothes he was now wearing, and wielded no weapons.
However, every one of them, from a person calmly changing the oil in the wall lamps to a man sweeping the floors, radiated the same aura of strength and lethality as the two sentinels that had met them at the gate.
They were all battle-hardened, veteran elites.
'...Just what is this place?'
After descending a few sets of twisting stairs, Sunny and Cassie were led to another, slightly bigger room. That one had a large table in its center.
The sentinel gestured at it and said, his voice not betraying any emotions:
"Sir Pierce is on his way. Please, present the items you brought from the outside for inspection."
Cassie took a step forward and place her belt and scabbard on the table. The Lost shifted his gaze to Sunny and waited.
"Uh… all my things are stored inside a Memory."
He considered hiding the existence of the Covetous Coffer, but thought better of it. There was nothing inside of it worth hiding, anyway... or rather, almost nothing.
The sentinel frowned, then said in a dark tone:
"Summon it."
Soon, the small box was sitting on the table. Sunny opened it and started producing item after item, slowly building a large pile. They were spices, cooking utensils, hygienic products, several packs of underwear… both male and female, which earned him a strange look… a piece of a broken mirror, a couple of soul shards, a folding chair, various snacks, packs of tea and coffee, and many more.
As the pile slowly became larger and larger, the sentinel's face grew more and more incredulous. Finally, his eye twitched.
"How much trash do you have in that box?"
Sunny smiled.
"Almost finished!"
He fished out a tube of sunscreen and several sticks of lip balm, threw them into the pile, then thrust his arm into the maw of the Coverous Coffer up to the shoulder, swept its bottom a few times, ignoring Weaver's needle and diamond string, then finally took a step back.
"That is all."
