"The Korusta Empire?" Mr. Pratt's expression shifted almost instantly, a mix of concern and caution crossing his features. "That place is rife with monsters from the desert, a perilous and treacherous land."
Rosalind nodded, acknowledging the dangers associated with Korusta. The desert was harsh, but it was still a better option than the North. The creatures inhabiting the area were relatively weaker, making it a slightly less daunting prospect. Situated near an active volcano, Korusta held the reputation of being one of the most hazardous empires among the seven. Its strategic location posed a constant threat, with formidable mountains guarding its rear and an expansive desert stretching out in front.
"To reach Korusta, one must traverse the desert, unless, of course, they dare to brave the rumored ruins within the mountains," Rosalind explained, her voice filled with a hint of caution.
