This is the entrance to an estate that at first glance seems rather ordinary.
However, this so-called ordinariness is judged from the perspective of Dragon Nation's modern and even ancient standards.
This estate lacked tall buildings, somewhat resembling traditional ancient residences. However, it wasn't quite like the gardens south of the Yangtze River with their red walls and green tiles; instead, it was more akin to the deep courtyards of the north.
Of course, Beihai City, where it was located, is indeed in the far north.
The most striking difference, leaving a lasting impression at first sight, was the pair of objects flanking the estate's entrance. These were not the typical stone lion sculptures.
Instead, there were two extremely bizarre things.
Two giant Toads sitting on stone pedestals.
That's right, two large Toad sculptures were positioned on either side of the gate.
They lent this majestic and solemn estate an indescribable atmosphere.
However, that wasn't all.
