Lynn held the Monocle between his fingers and asked without betraying his thoughts.
"Yes."
Dragon Guard Lan waved her hand, and a map appeared before them, reflected in her eyes.
"With this Castle at the center, refugees appeared here, here, and in these places as well. Their arrival points varied, but almost all the coordinates fell within an eight-hundred-kilometer radius of this Castle. So I suspect the entrance to that region is very likely somewhere inside this Castle."
She marked every arrival point she had investigated on the map. Centered on the Castle, the points grew sparser farther out, eventually spreading across the entire area within an eight-hundred-kilometer radius.
"At first, there weren't many Polluters in the Fate God Kingdom. They hadn't even stationed anyone in many places."
"But after living people began appearing here, they increased their deployment."
Something stirred in Lynn's mind, and he said:
"You only arrived recently, didn't you?"
The Fox-Eared Girl thought hard, then widened her eyes and said:
"It should have been a little over three months ago. Before Lady Dragon Guard found us, my little sister and I probably wandered around for a while, but altogether, it shouldn't have been more than four months. After that, though... we never heard of anyone else arriving."
In other words, if those Polluters were also searching for that region, they probably still hadn't made any substantial progress at least three months ago.

If this really involved a lead on the Time Divine Spark, they certainly wouldn't let the opportunity slip away.
Lynn returned to his senses, the enormous Castle reflected in his eyes, and said:
"Since we're here, let's go inside and have a look."
The Castle still existed, which meant
