Between Timore Mountain and the marshland where Grokter’s tomb was located, I decided to start digging in the swamp.
The reason I chose the swamp was simple—digging the marshland would be more difficult than the mountain. It seemed like Grokter would have chosen the more challenging location rather than the easier one.
Haven, who had partially demolished the historic Trivia Castle just in case to uncover a secret passage, nodded without a word when I shared my decision.
We left behind the Trivia Castle, which had crumbled pitifully despite its glorious six-century history. Then I reached the entrance of the marshland.
After setting up a base in a nearby village, we went to see the swamp, a place only known through rumors.
"... Wow, it really is a swamp."
Even a light step was enough to sink deep into the mud—it was literally a marsh, the kind where you could lose an earring forever if it fell.
‘Is it even possible to dig through this?’
