“You really saw the sinkhole in that manner?” Roland stood up in shock.

“My apologies…” Camila Dary was somewhat embarrassed. “My drawing skill is only of this standard.”

The image spread across the work desk was the illustration drawn up by Camilla Dary according to Joan’s memories. Ignoring Scroll and Soraya’s drawing skills, even the apprentices at the art school had standards far above hers—the numerous short lines represented grasslands, the crooked and imperfect circle was the sinkhole, the bulging mounds at the sides were mountains and the wave lines represented seawater. To any outsider, this drawing was nothing special and could not be used for reference at all.

But it was different for Roland.

He had encountered the legendary Bottomless Land in the Dream World.

It was also the ‘final location’ for the Battle of Divine Will and the passageway for the victorious race to upgrade. Although it would ultimately be be devoured by tsunamis and volcanoes and the cities built above would still be destroyed, the terrain above would remain unchanged. It was still as flat and bumpy as before with the faintly visible towering continent.

Before personally witnessing it, it had always been a vague legend, since the Northern Region above the Land of Dawn extended over a thousand kilometers and people before the Union never drew a detailed map for it. There were even doubts to its existence.

From the beginning to the end, only Lan had mentioned the location of the Bottomless Land.

But now, Joan had personally experienced it turning into a reality.

“No, this is already enough.” Roland impatiently moved the map of the continent from the bookcase and spread it across the floor. He placed the drawing north east of the continent. “It should roughly be here.”

“What is that exactly?” Camilla couldn’t resist asking, “I don’t think it is a naturally formed sinkhole.”

“Why do you say that?” Roland challenged her statement.

“It clearly doesn’t look like one.” She folded her arms. “How is it possible for the sinkhole to form so perfectly. And there is that strange seabed, and the position of the sky and water; everything looks so strange.”

Roland was silent for a moment. “I think that there never really was what you will call natural.”

“What do you mean?”

“For example, the Misty Forest and plains to the west of Neverwinter were most probably barren land in the past, but some birds and beasts that brought along seeds gradually transformed the land to what it is today. With sufficient time, this hypothesis is bound to come to fruition. But people after that would assume that this is how the world is fixed to be. Don’t you find it strange?”

Camilla frowned. “I don’t understand what you’re saying.”

Roland sighed in his heart. Right, these principles are too complicated for people of this age, it’s normal for them to be unable to comprehend it.

“I see.” Nightingale, who was chewing on dried fish, suddenly clapped her hands. “What you’re trying to say is that we are no different from the birds and the beasts, right?”
