In the waiting space of the Hot Spring Ruins, Ethan opened the "Chronicles of the Lost City."
This wasn't a hefty tome, unlike some biographies that spanned hundreds of pages.
It only contained a little over ten pages, resembling less a book and more a sort of booklet.
However, the steep price in the exchange store ensured that Ethan didn't dare underestimate it.
That was a whole 5,000 points!
Subsequently, Ethan opened the book. It didn't dally with superfluous words but delved straight into the main topic.
[...The Lost City, a term denoting a forsaken city.]
[What constitutes being forsaken?]
[Destroyed. Annihilated, or conquered and trampled by monsters? No, no, none of these. To be forsaken means to be forgotten by the whole world, to have no mention in any historical record, to be thoroughly forgotten, left in a corner of the world!]
"Is that so?"
