Back at the hotel, everyone was gathered together. Gu Fan unfolded the two maps. After staring, studying, and deliberating for a good while, they all came to one chilling conclusion: they could not decipher them.
"I can't believe there's a basement beneath this palace, Gu Fan, you're a relic thief. I am going to arrest you," Su Hui exclaimed, half-jokingly. Gu Fan could only laugh it off, though, unable to find humor at the moment.
Lin Xi suggested, "It's clear that the maps alone aren't enough – we need an expert in foreign cultures and history to help us understand their meanings."
"Such people do exist, but they're experts. We don't know them," Gu Fan scratched his head, expressing frustration.
Unable to hold back, Lu Yi asked, "What does the second drawing mean? Is that Empress something a demon? Can she cast magic?"
