Sylas’ neck craned to the skies, watching the movement of the bodies.
There were very clear tracks to follow. Not only could you watch the planets, stars, and moons move, but you knew exactly where they were going as well. From time to time you would be surprised by a sudden crossing over, but even then that only occurred when tracks had intersections between one another.
Sylas didn’t step into the observatory, at least not yet. He stood at the very edge of the roadway of arching trees.
Deep inside, he knew that once he took this step there was no going back. But he also knew that at this point, going backward also wasn’t an option. It certainly wouldn’t allow him to do that.
This odd space… it might as well be another world entirely.
Luckily, Sylas was pretty sure that this was still within Earth’s time warp, so he wouldn’t be dealing with a ridiculous situation again. Otherwise, he probably wouldn’t be so calm.
’Fascinating…’
After three minutes or so, Sylas finally found what he was trying to spot. But then he paused again.
’No, that isn’t the complete picture, I’m still missing something.’
The map in Sylas’ head was whirring. It looked like a normal series of mazes, but if there was anything Sylas had learned from the Mountains of Giza, nothing was as it seemed.
In the pyramids, the map he had deduced as a youth ended up being mapped onto spatial nodes that teleported them to all sorts of places and nearly killed him every time.
In this case, it felt like the map in his head might be a dummy of sorts. The reason he hadn’t found the place it corresponded to was because that place didn’t exist. But more importantly than that…
’The Lost City of Gold Points Toward the Sea. The Mountains of Giza Point Toward the Stars…’
It was an interesting line, and one that he had heard many times before.
There was a puzzle here, as expected. But the puzzle was only half of what it was meant to be.
Why were there two of these places?
Was it that there were two places like he thought? Or was it that there were two entrances and just one location? Was he already standing in the place he hoped to reach in Eurpeia?
But in that case, if this was the Stars… free𝑤ebnovel.com
Then where was the Sea?
Sylas looked down.
The ground was unassuming, a smooth, polished marble. It was easy to ignore. Who would care to observe the ground they walked on very closely?

Sylas looked at it for a moment and then back up. Then he looked down again.
’The Lost City of Gold Points Toward the Sea…’
Sylas frowned. He felt like something was on the tip of his tongue, but he couldn’t quite understand it.
The Amazonian Wilds… Earth had been forcefully integrated with it, and the result was the Lost City of Gold expanding into the ocean a great deal. It had completely changed the landscape of York City.
But was that what was meant by pointing toward the Sea?
’What’s the relationship between Stars and the Sea…’
Even if he took it literally, quite a lot. The heat that came from the Sun had a huge effect on how the oceans of Earth read and reacted to things.
