"Although they say three years, we have at most two. If we wait until the island is completely submerged by the sea, even if we do manage to bring back the Darkness, it would be too late," said Charles, his brow slightly furrowed, to Hahod in front of him.
"Mm, indeed. That's why we need to cooperate with each other. By the way, I heard they've found clues about the Darkness above? How's the progress?"
"We can go to the Explorer's Association right now. They have a map there, and it'll give you a clearer picture."
Hahod nodded, got to his feet, and followed behind Charles, heading towards the Explorer Association.
The hall of the Explorer's Association was bustling with activity, with most exploration ship captains handing over their missions. It was as noisy as a marketplace inside.
The map of Earth's surface hung on the wall, its scope ever-expanding, with various symbols marking dangerous areas.
