Chapter 262 Captain Duncan's Gift

In the voluminous document brought by Morris, only a short section was connected to the mysterious symbol—and that symbol was just an inconspicuous part of that section. The author of the document had not devoted a single stroke to interpret the symbol or the relief patterns surrounding it.
