After a night of rest, Anke left the Gold Fortress early the next morning.
He believed that the sooner he eliminated Charles, the more important he would become in Everett's eyes. So, he had to act quickly.
Half an hour after Anke left the Gold Fortress, Harbor also quietly slipped out.
Maxwell wanted to follow, but Harbor didn't allow him to come along.
After all, Maxwell was still too weak. In the course of their mission, he would be easy to spot.
Although Maxwell was disappointed, he had no choice but to follow Harbor's orders. In the end, he stayed behind at Gold Fortress to manage the other Ancient Academy members.
Having grown familiar with the Atacama Desert during the journey, Anke quickly found the nearest path to Serpent's Eye Lake Oasis.
By the afternoon, he had successfully reached the oasis.
