The raindrops pattered against the canvas, threads of rain passing through the torchlight, causing the light to flicker over a map laid out flat. A line drawn with charcoal, thick and black, wound tortuously through the region of Panier and came to a heavy stop at one point. The charcoal's powder burst out, glistening under the torchlight.
That point was marked with a small line of text reading 'Idus' — written in Colin Ishurian's wavy artistic script.
Seeing this line of text, Fang Hong's gaze seemed to penetrate the parchment, envisioning the ancient city ruins standing by the gray-red cliffs.
Reed put down the charcoal, patted the dust off his paws, and said, "The Dragonfire Guild is making such a big fuss here, they might have a stronghold near Idus. Considering the news from Elfendo, the Blood Shark Pirates are also gathering in the vicinity; there might be some connection between them."
