The palace of Lut Gholein, unlike any palace Duanmu Huai has seen. Typically, palaces are built upward, the higher the better. However, the palace of Lut Gholein is quite the opposite, with only two levels above ground, and dug very deep underground... It's understandable, in this desert city full of swirling sands, opening a window means getting covered with dust. Compared to that, the underground might be dim, but at least it's not as hot as the surface, which is quite comfortable, isn't it?
Of course, for the guards stationed here, it's a nightmare.

Duanmu Huai looked at the dark staircase ahead and asked. Hearing his inquiry, the guard beside him replied tremblingly.
"Y-yes, Brave Lord... The demons appear below, and we have no way to deal with them..."
