Chapter 178 Lost Expedition

Soon, another map was spread on the table This one was drawn on a piece of crude parchment made out ofon the wall

Well, that was understandable Because the second otten Shore itself Sunny stared at it in stunned silence

…Yeah Nephis had not wasted any ti these three athered all this information, but there was a lot ined

At the center of it, a straight black like depicted the Cri the parchment like an ocean of blood To the east, a small circle of black ink with a symbol of a white tower inside of it marked the Dark City

The city was perched on the edge of another, nize the cyclopean crater — after all, Sunny had traversed it on a rickety boat once, a lifeti at it in scale, did he finally realize just how giant the crater was, and how vast the Forgotten Shore itself appeared

Back on Earth, it would have been as large as a continent

The Dreaer than their own planet, considering that just one of its nuions was this enormous

There were other synize However, several of them attracted his attention especially

On the other side of the crater, almost exactly opposite the Dark City, a symbol of a tree depicted the Ashen Barrow Soht line, there was a mark in the shape of a red cross

Another red cross was drawn inside the crater just outside the eastern side of the Dark City The third one was about a week's worth of traveling tirotesque, misshapen skull The fourth one was halfway between the ruins and the Crimson Spire The fifth one lay to the south, about the sa bridge

The last red cross was at the very edge of the parchment, far away to the south, beyond the Labyrinth Near it, two symbols were drawn: one was a crown, and the other one was a question mark

Neph nodded

Sunny frowned He felt as though she was not telling hi Maybe what little trust reh to share those secrets Maybe she didn't want soain, he didn't really care Changing Star's business was her own Sunny was just here as a potentialas the reorth it, he was ready to not ask any questions

Provided that not knowing the ansas not going to get hi his hesitation, Nephis added:

"The way to the erous as you think There is… a method we can use to reach them comparatively safely But once we're there that's where we'll need your talents Having you with us will s easier"
