At present, the territory only had the expedition team led by Zoe Babbitt.
And its true core figure was Jacques Picard, the deceased great adventurer in ghost form.
Although the team included more than a dozen apprentices who had volunteered based on their interests.
The adventuring trade differed from other technical crafts.
It required extensive practical exploration to build up experience in dealing with all kinds of different ruins.
