Sorcerer’s Handbook Chapter 74

Chapter 74

Ashe and Sonya sat in a small boat, intently reading the leather-bound Sorcerer's Handbook.

Like the previous handbooks, this one did not contain any personal information about its owner, who could only be referred to as "The Explorer". Why was he called that? Because his greatest passion was exploring various natural landscapes, and the contents of this handbook were about the various sites he had visited in the past.

"Lava Cave"

"After working at the construction site for over a year across three phases, the project finally ended. I should be able to visit the lava cave before my foreman takes on another job."

"I went to the village closest to the lava cave, but my foreman said he had another big project coming up. Oh well."

"A few months later, I made ti to explore the lava cave again. I got lucky this ti - I paid a local a good amount of money to guide

inside."

"It was amazing - lava flowing across the ground, explosive pollen from the blooming flowers, yet inside the lava cave it was a cool and refreshing underground river... An incredible spectacle!"

"I'm so happy, so thrilled! I encountered a female green fire dragon that must have escaped from the Virtual World long ago and made a nest in the lava cave! Haha, I took photos - the submission fee I earned from that alone would be enough for

to co here again!"

This was generally the format - the Explorer would often go through twists and turns before starting his journeys, sotis having to interrupt due to work. He lanted the present circumstances but did not forget about poetry and distant places.

"He was probably a civil engineer," Sonya remarked, and Ashe nodded in agreent.

Living on construction sites long-term, working nonstop when there was a project and having no inco when there wasn't, and travelling solo... The Explorer would probably remain single well into old age. Civil engineers really were the sa no matter which world you were in.

The first half of the handbook contained sites the Explorer had visited in the real world, while the second half contained sites in the Sea of Knowledge - to the Explorer, the Virtual World was also a scenic destination.

If they ca across a Sorcerer who enjoyed fishing, Ashe had no doubt they would go fishing in the Sea of Knowledge. But fishing there was extrely risky and unrewarding - either the fish would fly away or the knowledge creature would have no fish.

There were many sights to see in the Sea of Knowledge, including the "Maelstrom
