The lift platform descended, and contrary to what everyone imagined, they hadn't reached the surface of the Eagle's Beak Cliff Base, but had arrived underground.
"Count, what's going on? Why are we underground?" The royal envoy showed a curious expression and asked Perfikot.
"The Eagle's Beak Cliff Base was built for the Arctic research project, intended to test how humans can survive in the extreme cold of the Arctic, so the main structures are buried underground, as are the streets." Perfikot explained to the group as she walked forward, pointing to a map hanging on the wall: "This is the plan of the Eagle's Beak Cliff Base, and each intersection has a corresponding sign. If you get lost, just look at the signs.
My maid automaton will take you to the lodging area, where accommodations have been arranged for you. Later, please come to dine with me, envoy, as I need to discuss the matter of enfeoffment with you. Please excuse me for leaving now."
