Map [40]

Kai and Sarya slept on the cold rock floor. It's already night, temperatures can really drop to lethal levels at the height they are at right now.

Lily tapped their heads lightly with her staff, their bodies started to hover in zero gravity like the astronoughts at the International Space Station.

Lily slowly went her way towards the platform, carrying Kai and Sarya as if they were balloons.

"were heading down, it's freezing up here, aren't you coming" Lily asked

"I'll stay here for a while, make sure to re activate the pressure plate once you go down so it'll go back up for me to use"

"don't stay here for to long then"

Lily disappeared into the dark carrying the two, soon Ferris heard the noise that the platform made, it sounded like a Hydraulic, the platform was just a flat plane, no gears but it had four bluish crystals that were floating at the sides.

The noise grew further down, eventually he only heard the dead silence of the night, he saw no animals, just plants and plants alone, not even birds can reach that high. The only noise he heard was the crackling noise the torches made, it seemed like the torches automatically opened when it was night time.

He went towards the pool of golden treasures, what kind of treasure does he seek, he already has the systems store which can give him whatever he wants as long he has the coins. He jumped to the pool like a professional diver. Like a rat, he looked for the prize.

He finally found it. It didn't really took him that long, it was pure luck that he found it. A giant scroll probably 2 times bigger than him and probably 3 times bigger than him when it's fully unrolled. The case was made up of aged wood, words were carved saying, World Map. In this giant earth, fully detailed maps are rare and its only given to people with high status and the lower ranking people only had maps of what continent they were currently at, He went to a flat area to open the scroll, as the paper rolled open, dust shot up to the air. It looks like it has aged more than the wood.

"(if only the system had a map, now that's what I call a bad design...)"

Like a detective, he looked for something specific, it was an old map so the changes today won't appear on the map, countries that probably fell long ago would probably still appear right on the map and new countries wouldn't appear. He knows just a tiny bit of history so he used it to get the options down to only one continent to look at.

(there!..... The bizta empire a coastal empire, it fell into anarchy and got wiped from the map, that's where the country of Aussi lies... And just twenty kilometers north is.... the orphanage)

Lucky for him, the continent was right next to the continent where he is right now at. He re rolled the entire scroll and shoved it inside his infinite inventory.

" their bodies can't hold it" Lily said to Ferris

"what do you mean they can't hold it?" Ferris questioned to her

"the magical energy inside them is rapidly building up exponentially, it sounds like great news but their bodies can't take the load." Lily answered

"I heard she's the so called hero, what she needs to do is rest and let her body adapt to the new power, everytime she rest, her load capacity gets bigger and problems like this would never happen"

"wow I never knew you were so educated" Ferris pointed out to her while chuckling

"well... I really fantasized about heroes when I was a kid, in fact I know the full details of approximately 79 heroe-

" ok let's stop here, it's night and I'm tired" Ferris said

Before Ferris was about to sleep on the grass floor with the other, he was stopped by Lily with another question, luckily for Ferris he was about to hit his head on some random rock.

"hey Ferris, do you think this Kingdom could recover?" she asked

"this kingdom is under Gracia so it'll probably recover... Ive been to their capital, I think that's the second capital I ever even went too"

"oh.. Then what's the first?" she asked again

"it's.... Pretty far away from here, I'm planning to leave by tomorrow"

"I see, you can go to sleep now"

Ferris nodded and continued to lower his head into the soft grass, he went down full speed expecting that the soft grass would cushion all the impact, or so he thought. He landed on the hard rock at full speed.

"ow!" Ferris screamed

The scream woke up the nearby survivors, and well you expect what happened next, everyone except for the unconscious Sarya, Kai, and Sieg got really pissed.
