Linsey and Wala Wala stopped in the center of the ruins.
A damp sea breeze blew in from the distant Sea of Wandering and struck their faces, its icy touch seeming to recount this place's past.
What was the end of an expedition?
At least in Linsey's era, setting out meant a final farewell.
Going to the End of the Universe and exploring the utterly unknown—this had always been an endless undertaking filled with uncertainty.
It had been even more so in more ancient times.
"Whew..."
"Since this place was also the end of an expedition."
"Then no matter why they came here, these things should be properly preserved."
As he spoke, Linsey used his skills to stabilize and reconstruct the surrounding Ruins of Buildings.
He ensured that they would not be eroded by nature for a very long time to come.
Wala Wala said nothing, assisting him from the side.
Neither of them minded spending a little time and effort to preserve this monument left behind by those before them.
A few minutes later, Linsey slowly rose to his feet.
"Wala Wala, there's still one question."
"The ruins are here, so where are their bodies?"
Linsey analyzed the matter in detail.
"According to the message on the Stone Tablet, their supplies ran out here. Their final end should also have been on this island."
Wala Wala brought up a piece of information from the Stone Tablet.
"After they subdued Soroya, they did not kill it."
"So even if they died in the end, they should have been captured by this evil beast's power and turned into stone statues, standing here forever."
The two looked around.
Whether within their field of vision or on the Map Skill, they could not find any Human Stone Statues.
