While Minos was testing his mental toughness with Brooke, the lives of the hundreds of thousands of local inhabitants went on as usual.
Things in this city continued to flourish despite the difficult times this territory was experiencing.
But this was natural. After all, with the many protections this place had, the average citizen of this urban area had only to worry about living their lives.
Hence, even though they were in a territory in rebellion, the local population continued with their activities. Many were working to support their families, others cultivated, growing stronger while taking advantage of the opportunities of this city.
And believe it or not, some were experiencing the pleasures of life, enjoying the happiness of spiritual and economic development.
