Ibro held his fists tightly from excitement. He felt very grateful for Palry. This fool never used this scroll even once.
What caught his eyes next was the map of the world of Apidon that he acquired from Palry. Although he still felt very puzzled about the name of this world that he was in, was it Apidon or Pnro.
So what was the relationship between the world of Apidon or Pnro or what was its name and Rioneed game?
Was this world really in control of the game or the game controlled this world or were both like partners?
The map was in the shape of a small stone. It was about the size of the palm, polished smoothly on the sides, with a faint orange color that radiated light every few seconds.
He felt a heat coming out of the stone when he tightened his grip on it. Nothing happened when he pressed the stone, so he took it from hand to hand carefully examining it. Ibro finally used his observing skill to find himself standing in a strange place surrounded by clouds in every direction.
It looked as if he was in the sky and the ground was down below him, with strange lines and shapes on it. The map was surprisingly gigantic.
He was located at one end of the map. The map was bordered by a large wall on which was written the name ‘Apidon Wall’. The wall was surrounding the giant map majestically.
Ibro wondered if he would move parallel to the wall as he was thinking before, then how many years he would have taken until he reached just half of it. He started looking around the area near his location.
After examining the surrounding area, he was able to discover the existence of a small city located nearly 80 kilometers away from him. He noticed that the map had different colors, as the area adjacent to the wall was dark red.
Next to that area, there is an orange region, followed by a yellow area, then pale green, then emerald green, then gray, then brown, then dark gray, and finally black. He noted that the black area was the narrowest area on the map and was in the center of this map.
He also noticed that the Mythic city of Apidon was located on the outskirts of this region. He felt surprised that the Mythic city of Apidon was not at the center of the current world.
He looked at the city and then at his current location. Palry wasn’t lying. Ibro was too far from the Mythic city of Apidon.
He tried to guess what these colors meant. Were they referring to the degree of danger? Or referring to the political state of the world? Like the maps of countries in his real world.
These also might mean the geographical features of every place. He moved this issue to join the long non-ending list of his questions.
To be safe he decided to consider these colors as a measure of danger. He re-checked that small town near him to find it within the orange color zone.
That meant it might not be as dangerous as the place he was at now. Ibro’s place was dark red.
He thought about leaving to find that he had come out of the map back again on the branch of the towering tree.
“Should I use the scroll to move to the area near the city or not?”
That was an important question that he should now decide. He was unable to discover the presence of the monster in the region around him.
Not to mention that the monster was not alone and there must be a whole herd like this terrifying monster.
The problem was if he died, he would lose all of his legendary equipment. He would also lose all the coins he held.
He wasn’t sure about his safety if he used the scroll, as he would appear away from that city by nearly 20 kilometers.
He thought a bit and then decided to play it safe and send most of the legendary equipment and many Apidon coins to Oya. He would only leave three legendary weapons in his Inventory and only a few of the Apidon coins.
He was not afraid of losing these coins, as his master coin now was with Oya.
The three equipment that he left in his Inventory needed a very high-level requirement. The weakest of them needed a hundred and sixty levels.
He did not know the situation in the city he was going to, but he might need to exchange those weapons for Apidon coins if he needed to buy something from there.
After he finished all his preparations he grabbed the scroll and opened it to find it divided into two halves.
One of which was for fighting and the other was for teleportation. He pronounced the teleportation activation chants without any hesitation.
After five seconds, he felt that his sight went suddenly very far away. It surprised him completely.
He stood still in his place, wondering what to do. After a few seconds, he was able to understand almost what was going on to feel comfortable and happy.
One of the factors he was afraid of was moving to a place away from the city, and then he would face the dangers of Apidon himself.
When he activated the scroll, he sensed that he could move the place where he could teleport. Not only that but also when he tried to move his eyesight, the area that he could see would change dramatically.
That meant he could now see where he would teleport. So, he could choose somewhere safe near that city.
What he saw was land covered with brown grass and many trees.
The most prominent feature was the presence of a large number of monsters with fur covering their heads. Some of which resemble humans in its outer form, but their faces carried the distinctive red fur of these monsters.
He looked at the brown earth around the monsters. He kept scouting trying to find out if there were monsters like the one he met here or not with no avail.
Then he tried to move his eyesight from the area to be surprised that he could move inward. But he couldn’t move a distance exceeding a hundred kilometers.
He remembered the city’s location roughly and took about an hour in his tireless search until he found it. Contrary to what he felt from the map, the city in front of him was very huge.
The five-hundred-meter giant wall stretched along his line of sight. He tried to set his gaze into the city, but he discovered an aura shielding the city a hundred meters away from its wall.
He moved his gaze around the wall until he found a gate. He wasn’t in a hurry, so he took his time looking towards the giant gate.
It reached the height of the wall itself. It was surrounded by two great towers protruding on both sides of the gate in a semi-circle way. The two towers were rising far more than the height of the walls.
Ibro did not rush to teleport near the gate, as he watched it closely for about two hours.
During that time he saw a number of people entering and exiting the city gate smoothly and without being attacked by monsters or any enemy. He noticed the presence of guards stationed at the city gate.
He felt more reassured. He made up his mind to move immediately towards a place near the city gate.
He found the place around him had turned dark for a few seconds, after which he appeared in the place he was seeing through the scroll.
He quickly put the scroll away and turned around to scout the area with caution. He confirmed that the place was free of any monsters.
He looked towards the gate to find that his sudden appearance attracted the attention of the guards there.
So, two of them moved towards him in quick steps. Ibro felt danger from them, as their level was much higher than his current level.
“Welcome, stranger, why didn’t you move straight into the city? You know very well how dangerous it is to be outside the walls of the city of Shonty.”
