"This thing, it seems to be a map?"
After returning to his room, Ye Xuan immediately wiped the dust off the black fragment and, after carefully studying it for a while, concluded that it was undoubtedly an ancient map, though damaged. The fragment bore mysterious patterns akin to a route map and some markings that resembled terrain features. However, there were no annotations indicating the marked places, nor any clues as to what locations the map pointed toward.
"Even if this map is out of the ordinary, without any hints, it's no different from junk. It probably takes someone with an extensive knowledge of the Tiannan Region's geography to discern anything significant from it."
After toying with the fragment for a while without result, Ye Xuan couldn't help but feel a sense of disappointment. He had regarded it as a treasure, but it now seemed like a false delight.
Thump, thump, thump!
Just then, someone knocked on the door.
