The next day, the Lyra citizens who took the gear train to work all saw a scene that shocked them immensely.
One third of the Fourth District's subsidiary tower, which had been constructed alongside the Sky Tower and had stood in Lyra for hundreds of years, was destroyed, and the top part was completely in a mess, still emitting billowing smoke even now.
"I heard that the Fourth District's subsidiary tower had an accident last night."
"Yes, it seems there was an explosion, the entire top level was damaged, and the fire was not completely out this morning."
"So, what could this be about?"
"I don't know, it's never happened in Lyra before."
Unease spread among the people on the gear train and soon would spread throughout all of Lyra. By the end of the morning, all the Lyra people would know about the Fourth District tower incident.
Such a major accident compelled the highest commander of the Skeleton Corps, Fenli, to rush to the scene as well.
