"Commander Qian, where did you buy all this?" The Queen voiced the question on Tang Wen's mind.
He was desperate to know: Where had technological civilization re-emerged? And just how far had civilization in this world progressed!
Commander Qian didn't answer right away. Instead, he ordered someone to bring a Scroll from his carriage.
The Scroll was slowly unfurled by two Dancing Girls, revealing a map.
The map's starting point was their camp, and everything around it—the Black Mountain Camp, lakes, and mountain ranges—was marked with perfect clarity.
Following the route west, camps, strongholds, and villages were scattered like stars in the sky.
Commander Qian explained with a voice full of emotion, "I have led my team through every single place on this map. As for the goods from this trip, they came from a place called 'Xia City'."
Tang Wen stared intently at the map. The words "Xia City" were not on it.
"You went to Xia City?"
