Outside the city of Huyie, Lin State.
On the east side of the main road, extending ten kilometers out along the coast, on a desolate beach, a circular portal appeared in mid-air, and immediately two figures, one large and one small, leaped out from it.
"Antonio, is this the place Mr. Jack mentioned?"
Noah stepped on the fine gravel, making a crunching sound. He turned around and asked a cow. The cow mooed twice and twitched its ears.
"I don't know. Alec said Antonio is 'illiterate,' so Antonio doesn't know if this is the place, but Antonio can sense the presence of extraordinary humans approaching... hmm, and there's a strong fishy and bloody smell."
"Then it seems this is indeed the place."
Noah smiled.
He looked down at a key hanging from his neck, carved out of white bone, and gently grasped it in his hand, murmuring to himself:
"I mustn't disappoint Mr. Jack. Soon, I'll need your help to finish the painting, Mr. 'Gallery'."
