Chapter 25: A colossal gold mine
"Map?" Ethan's eyes lit up as he looked down at Cicero in his arms. "Mission accomplished?"
"Chirp, chirp..."
Cicero puffed out his chest proudly, looking like a little boss showing off. His whole demeanor screamed, Piece of cake!
Ethan immediately brightened up and turned to Elynn. "Alright, you keep drawing. Don't mind me."
"I'm actually almost done. My esteemed master, you just need to wait a little longer..." Elynn replied before continuing her work.
Before long, a vividly colored map appeared before Ethan.
On the left side of the map, there was a lush green valley, while the right side was dominated by ominous black mountains, smoke rising into the sky.
Between them, in the lower-left section, lay a massive canyon.
At the canyon's far end stretched an endless ancient forest.
As for the location of Emerald Castle, it was roughly in the lower third of the left side of the map, right at the edge of the canyon, bordering the black mountains.
The map wasn't particularly detailed—if anything, it was a bit rough—but it was clear and easy to understand. One glance was all Ethan needed to grasp its contents.
