Brand did not reply. He thought Albton sounded truthful, but he wouldn't trust easily. He pondered what Jade Lake, Holy White Mountain, and Stone in Stone exactly were.
He suddenly noticed the phrase about the silent dual-faced statue and shuddered uncontrollably.
The silent dual-faced statue - could it be referring to the stone sage in the southern basin of Jandener? The more he thought about it, the more likely it seemed. If the revelation was on that stone sage, it would indeed be troublesome. To make the stone sage speak, they would at least need the Sage Stone Tablet.
But where could they get the Sage Stone Tablet? The nearest one should arrive in Brags in about half a month, and its black-market price was fifty thousand Thor, not a small sum at all.
The only consolation was that the basin where the stone sage was located was in the same direction as his next goal, which would save a lot of time. Brand didn't have much time left.
