"Here, dangerous places. Deadly natural formations. Territories of ancient beasts. Areas where even I avoided entering."
He pointed again.
"Here, territories of other fourth-level forces and above. The White Tower is located in this region, stay away if you don't want to end up fighting them."
Dong Zhen stepped back.
"This map will not help you reach the Central Territory. The Northern Territory is vast, far too vast for a single map to guide you there. But it will at least help you reach the center of the Northern Territory. From there, you will find other maps, other routes, and other travelers."
Kyrian rolled up the scroll carefully and stored it in his spatial ring.
"Thank you." He said.
Dong Zhen nodded.
"It is the least I can do. You deserve more."
The two remained in silence for a long moment. Then, Dong Zhen placed a hand on Kyrian's shoulder, a rare gesture.
