After having full rest Mr. Blake invite me for dinner that night at restaurants to discuss our next move I was told Victor found and old scroll buried inside sunken tomb the scroll told about a city lies within desert of Arabia peninsula. I was bit excited about it but Victor the location which believe located at Empty quarter I was unsure at first but Victor manage to convince me.
He already gathering the team of professionals most of them were former military while the rest were scholar and students. Victor inform me the expedition team will gather at Cairo Egypt while at his room Victor shown me the scroll I can translate only few unlike my friend Garrett Carter who actually works as Linguists and interpretation I hope he was here with me.
I slowly examine the scroll it written in Arabic mix with Hebrew it tells about a unknown king who rule a city in the middle of the desert the Scrolls also for told how majestic the city made by gold and silver. I was intrigued by it even I can translate few of it but the details about the city was amazed me I told Victor if this scroll was authentic Victor only smile at me as usual he was.
