By nightfall, they reached a small village nestled at the edge of the forest. The village was quaint, with simple, thatched-roof cottages and lanterns illuminating the cobblestone streets. The villagers, intrigued by the newcomers, offered warm hospitality and a place to rest for the night.
As they settled into their accommodations, the team discussed their next steps. The map indicated that their next destination was an ancient observatory located on a distant plateau. This site was renowned for its astronomical significance and was believed to hold crucial information about the celestial alignments crucial to their mission.
Over a hearty meal provided by the villagers, Wei Lin addressed the team. "We have a long journey ahead to reach the observatory. We need to be prepared for any challenges we might encounter."
