The center of Sagareggio Town wasn't at the inn but rather on the small hill to the east of town—there stood a circular hall constructed from logs. Compared to the ruins of Tbilisi, Sagareggio's remnants were sparse, so the biochemically altered beings here mainly used wood to build their homes. Most were single-story buildings, with only the circular hall boasting a second floor.
The news of Malin's visit had already been disseminated—Malin had seen the messenger riding on a war dog, confirming the existence of wild war dog nests and communities in this area.
Malin hadn't ridden a war dog to get here because he wanted to identify the local flora and fauna. Along the way, however, Malin discovered that his aura made even ordinary animals flee in panic, not to mention the spirits. Only Milani could spot small birds and creatures, such as relatives of hers, in the trees.
