Erik and June approached the outpost. It was much bigger and better defended than they thought.
That wasn't the only surprising thing, though, because the outpost looked ancient but had modern technology mounted in various parts.
<Well… That is something I never expected to find.>
The place was basically a castle, and it had tall and old stone walls, with watchtowers all around. A barrier and many alloy parts covered the whole place and closed the breaches that had been made by the passage of time, or by the thaids that had used this place as home.
<The problem is, to understand whether the barrier is kept up by people or Etrium's technology,> Erik said to himself, forgetting that he and June were connected.
<The place is small enough for just a couple of barrier masters to shield the entire area, master.>
