Carson Flores and his two companions flew along the lake, with occasional glances falling on them from the islands around.
Carson seemed oblivious, strolling leisurely over the vast expanse of the lake.
This journey lasted half a day.
Suddenly, Carson halted and pulled out the map he had hidden in his clothes.
The black map, made of an unknown material, began to glow with faint golden light along its lines.
There's a reaction!
The cave mansion must be nearby!
Carson surveyed his surroundings; the water's surface was calm, with no anomalies, not even a single island—nothing that stood out.
Carson circled the water, then hovered in mid-air, taking out a Water-Repelling Pearl he obtained from the Crystal Palace in the East Sea.
"Let's go!"
The two followed Carson into the water, and the Water-Repelling Pearl instantly created a large light sphere, enveloping the three of them.
Carson spread out the map in his hand; the glowing lines on the map were much brighter than before.
