Chapter 163 - Secret Of The Scroll

Calling Hannah over to help with the drawings while he holds them close to the lamp. It took about an hour for her to draw everything before sitting down to massage her wrist. 

Taking all the drawings as he lay them down before observing them, the view that was before him is more of a map. 

"It seems to be a world map and take a look at those four places that are marked x, there must be something hidden there" said Jason with his hand on his chin as he focused on the map.

"It is really a map, do you think you will be able to recognize any of those places" asked the bracelet.

"No, they don't look familiar to me. Let me ask my mother, maybe she will be able to recognize them" reply Jason before turning to his mother, who was sitting on the bed while watching them doing so until she saw Jason looking at her.

"What is it" Clara asked.

"Well, I don't know if you will be able to recognize any of these places" replied Jason as he took the map to her.

Looking at the map, Clara first frowned before looking at Jason as she said.

"Get me the map I bought earlier from Carpie town".

Jason left for a minute before returning with the map as he handed it to her. 

"Do you manage to recognize any of the places?" asked Jason.

"Some places look familiar but I have to confirm first before saying anything" replied Clara.

Placing the map down, she began to compare the two maps and after some time, she lifted her head to look at the map that Jason brought to her before she spoke up.

"They seem to be the same thing".

"That nice, so mother, where is this place" asked Jason with a smile on his face as he pointed at one of the x marks.

"That is a forest close to the Platton family territory while this is the temple of seal and here is the warberry forest and here is the Mccray territory" replied Clara.

But when she mentioned the Mccray territory, she couldn't help but turn to the map once more before turning to Jason as she asked.

"Jason, what does all this marking means".

"At first I thought it was just a place where a treasure is hidden but since you said the warberry is also among those x marks, I think it is a map that leads to where some ruins are" reply Jason.

"There are ruins in all this location" mutters Clara to herself for some time before asking Jason.

"Can you tell me where you say this map".

"I found it inside a treasure vault inside the ruin we went to, back in the Fox territory" replied Jason. 

"Then could it be that the reason we were attacked has nothing to do with the grudge the other family have against us but rather it was because there was a ruin hidden in our territory" said Clara as it dawned on her.

"You mean it could be possible that we were attacked because they discovered that a ruin was in our family territory" asked Jason.

"That could be possible" replied Clara with a nod.

"If that is the case, then how come the Platton family still exists?" asked Jason.

"That could likely be because they have not known of its existence" replied Clara.

"I see, well now that I know where the ruins are hidden, all that I have to do now is make preparations" said Jason with a smile on his face as he took the map, ready to leave only for his mother to stop him in his tracks.

"Where do you think you are going, young man" asked Clara with a frown.

"I am going to make preparations to explore those ruins" replied Jason.

"You are not going anywhere Jason, going into a ruin is no different from hanging your life on a thin thread so there is no way I am going to let you go that place alone" said Clara.

"But I will be alright mother, so you don't have to worry about my safety" replied Jason.

"I still don't agree with you going there on your own and since I won't be there to protect you due to the restriction that was set in place in place by whoever made it" reply Clara.

"But I won't be going alone" said Jason.

"Then who do you plan on going with because if my memory doesn't fail me, you don't have any friends" replied Clara as she stare at Jason.

"I have Austin and Diana from the Platton family" said Jason.

"It's still not enough to guarantee your safety" reply, Clara.

"But I am not as weak as you think I am" said Jason as he release his aura.

Feeling the aura that Jason was hearing, Clara couldn't help but open her mouth in surprise as she said. 

"Since when did you breakthrough into the eighth stage of the foundation realm".

"It should be two days ago after residing inside this apartment" reply Jason with an awkward laugh.

"I see" said Clara with a nod before thinking.

"So do you think I am qualified to go with my friends" asked Jason seeing that his mother is no longer saying anything.

"It shouldn't be a problem for you and your friends to roam the ruins but the thing is how do you plan on getting to them because there is no way I am letting you go back to that place where your life could be taken at any time" replied Clara.

"I will think of a way to get them to come here" said Jason.

"If you can do that then I will be able to let you explore the ruin" replied Clara.

After getting his mother to agree on him going to the ruin, Jason took the map that belongs to his mother and put the marking on the right spot since it is the easiest to read before making his way back to his resting place.

"I just have a question for you, how do you plan to get Austin and Diana to come here" asked the bracelet.

"I haven't thought about that but it shouldn't be that difficult to get in touch with those that are far away" reply Jason.

Just as he and the bracelet were discussing, Amanda suddenly came in which put a smile on Jason's face since he can't go out. Getting up to go meet up with her was the only thing Jason could think of now that he knew where he can go hunting for resources.

"Hello Amanda how are things going" said Jason with a smile. 

"OK.. What is happening here" asked Amanda as she became confused by Jason's attitude since knowing him, this is the first time that she has seen him acting like this.

"He probably wants something from you that is for sure" reply Hannah with a twitched face as she stare at Jason. 

"Go play at the side. This is not the best place for a kid like you to be around" said Jason as he chased her away.

"I don't see a reason why I can't place here but since Amanda is in a hurry, I guess I will excuse you for a while but don't think that I only left because you asked me too" replied Hannah before leaving. 

Watching as Hannah is making her way to their mother, Jason couldn't help but grit his teeth in anger, and seeing this, Amanda couldn't help but giggle which drew Jason's attention as he asked.

"What is it".

"You should have seen the look on your face" replies Amanda as she tries to stop herself from laughing.

"That's how she is some days, always thinking of a way to piss me off" said Jason.

"You should be glad to have a sister like her at least you won't be bored all the time" reply Amanda with a smile. 

"Believe me when I say you don't need someone like this she-devil as a little sister" said Jason.

"Hahaha, now you are calling her a she-devil, this is really funny. So tell what is it that you want to talk about that makes you chase your little sister away" asked Amanda after calming herself down.

"I wanted to ask if there is a way to send messages to love ones and friends that are far from us" reply Jason. 

"Well there is one but it seems to be a little far from here. Do you want to send a message to a friend" asked Amanda.

"Yes, and it is very important that they receive the message as soon as possible" reply Jason.

"Is that the reason why you chased your sister away" asked Amanda.

"Something like that, so tell me how long will it take me to get there" reply Jason.

"You should be able to get to the message tower in an hour or two" said Amanda.

"I will have to trouble you to show me the direction to get to this tower you speak of" reply Jason.
