After leaving the first pirate city that they visited, Clark and Arthur continued their journey through the enormous world of gold.
As 3rd rank high-grade soldiers, their journey was super-efficient compared to when Clark was still in the expedition team. Any exobeast or desert beast that they met, they simply killed and continued their journey.
Unless they met a desert beast with 4th rank high-grade strength, they could not be stopped and passing was as easy as eating pie to them.
With such a speedy traveling rate, it did not take them much time before they arrived at the city that the clues left by the Pirate Queen Anamel led to. They arrived after 3 hours of constant traveling.
Compared to the previous pirate city that they visited, this was even more deserted and strange. Every building in the pirate city was built with sand, even that of the pirate leader of the city.
