The inn prepared for the delegation by the Azure Sky Kingdom was located in the upper left corner of the nine-square grid, known as the “Hospitality Zone.”
The “Hospitality Zone” could also be referred to as the “Living Zone (Outside).” It is a region similar to the “Living Zone” located in the lower right corner of the Sky City, but in the opposite direction.
Due to the cultural differences among different races, especially between local winged beings and immigrant guests, living together could potentially lead to inconveniences and conflicts. Therefore, the Azure Sky Kingdom deliberately divided these two areas to provide separate living spaces for local residents and outsiders.
The reason it’s called the “Hospitality Zone” is also to avoid criticism and accusations of official discrimination against local residents and immigrants. It can be seen as a somewhat reluctant decision.
The current location of the delegation is in the port where Leviathan’s son is docked, also one of the nine major zones, straightforwardly named the “Port Zone.” Its position is to the east of the Sky City, adjacent to the “Hospitality Zone.”
Similar to their time on the Spruce Isle, the delegation spent about half an hour reaching their destination through the vehicle provided by the Azure Sky Kingdom.
Perhaps due to the zoning, Violet didn’t see any bustling night markets along the way. Although there were shops, residences, and pedestrians on the sides of the roads, it clearly didn’t meet the standards of a bustling metropolis. Even upon entering the “Hospitality Zone,” there weren’t too many changes.

After all, this is the capital of the winged beings and is situated at an altitude of at least six thousand meters. Immigrants and travelers are still a minority.
While staying in the vehicle, Violet didn’t exert much effort to carefully identify the occasional passerby who cast curious glances. She wondered about their races.
The inn was a luxurious multi-story building with two or three gardens the size of football fields, capable of accommodating around a thousand people.
Sigrid’s winged troop continued escorting the convoy to the inn. Some of them stationed nearby, while another group, under the command of the captain, departed, likely for rest or to carry out other tasks.
Felina was systematically arranging the accommodations for her subordinates, while Sigrid, who seemed to have completed all her tasks, went straight to Violet, who had just stepped off the vehicle, with only her own pet by her side.
“Sigrid? Are you here to bid farewell?”
Violet had initially intended to add a line like “If you can’t bear to leave us, you can stay a few more days,” but considering what had happened earlier, she reluctantly kept her mouth shut.
“Why bid farewell? You make it sound like I’m about to... do something drastic. Actually, I’ve been on an assignment outside for quite some time. I was planning to come back and take a temporary break. I shouldn’t be leaving the Sky City in the short term.”
“I see...”
Violet neither confirmed nor denied. After all, this person hadn’t clearly expressed what she came for by making this special trip. However, at this level, it would be more appropriate to tell Felina directly.
Sure enough, after a brief hesitation, Sigrid continued to speak.
“I say, Violet, what do you plan to do next? Or to put it more bluntly, what specific goals do you have coming to our capital this time? I can see that you and your group are, at most, colleagues with the Kingdom delegation, more like cooperation. Is it really, as you mentioned before, a special trip for tourism?”
Hmm...
Considering Sigrid’s identity, Violet pondered for a moment.
“Let me confirm first, are these questions from your personal curiosity, or are you making inquiries on behalf of the Azure Sky Kingdom officials?”
“Wow... there’s no need to be so guarded.”
Facing the priestess who had stated her stance from the beginning, Sigrid could only shake her head with a wry smile.
In the battle on Omo Island, she witnessed Violet helping Dorina, who was only at the Earth level, to forcefully transcend to the Transcendent level and defeat the rampaging Abyss Worm.
The subsequent series of earth-shattering events and anomalies, though not explicitly explained by Violet, were evidently related to her sudden disappearance at that time.
Violet is very powerful, likely a transcendent comparable to Her Majesty, the Feathered Emperor, or even more formidable, a fact Sigrid is well aware of.
Even those girls who were always playing around during this time, including the two fellow White Feathers, Leila and Rene, are at least of legendary level.
For some reason, powerful individuals always revolve around this beautiful, sometimes frivolous, yet incredibly reliable black-haired girl in critical moments.
Such a tremendous force, even in the Sky City, if mishandled, would undoubtedly lead to quite serious consequences. Therefore, Sigrid, as a high-ranking member of the Wings of Freedom and a trusted aide of the Feathered Emperor, coming to test the situation is quite normal.
However, what’s strange is that Miss Captain nodded first but then shook her head for some reason.
“We’re not strangers, and there are some things I’ll just say directly. Your situation has indeed been reported to Her Majesty, it’s my duty.”
“But there’s no clear instruction from above to gather intelligence. On this issue, it’s my personal stance, coming from a friend’s perspective. I don’t want any friction or misunderstandings between you all and the Wings of Freedom, as well as the official authorities.”
Violet stared at the short-haired girl with a calm expression for a few seconds.
Having been together for so long, she knew Sigrid’s personality and character like the back of her hand, at least in general terms.
Unless the other person is the type to hide their true nature perfectly from start to finish, she’s just an outgoing girl, and there are only a few like Menna Melchior who are truly cunning.
In that case, trusting her a little this time shouldn’t be a big deal. After all, some things will have to be clarified with the winged people sooner or later.
“I am here to pay a visit to the Goddess of the Sky.”
Upon hearing this, Sigrid was slightly surprised.
“Meeting with the Goddess of the Sky? Why?”
“Well... seeking answers to some questions, I suppose. Just preparing to sit down and have a peaceful conversation, as long as She isn’t too arrogant and unreasonable.”
“Hehe...”
“The way you say it, it sounds like you’re about to start a fight if things don’t go well? That’s a divine being we’re talking about.”
Violet didn’t argue with her, just shrugged helplessly.
“So, it’s more like diplomacy before resorting to force. I’m a pacifist, and I won’t easily resort to violence unless absolutely necessary.”
“Well, well~”
Sigrid clearly took this as Violet giving her an excuse and didn’t think much about it.
“In that case, you’ve found the right person.”
“Huh? What do you mean?”
The white-feathered girl smiled and extended her arm, rolling up her sleeve to reveal a bracelet-like magical device against her fair skin, adorned with delicate wing imprints engraved with special magic.
“By the way, Violet probably doesn’t know this.”
She took off the bracelet, exposing the pale skin underneath, adorned with a refined pair of wings imprinted with special magic.
“Don’t be fooled by appearances. In a way, I’m also one of the candidates for the next generation sacrifice to the god.”
