[Charles' POV]
With the Luminite Mine being the main priority, I embarked on an adventure outside of Chrome. The city of Gontz is to the west of Chrome, and if I were to calculate the walking distance, it would take me eight hours to get there.
I had zoomed through there in minutes, concealing my presence. I had gone through the city gate without being noticed.
The city of Gontz was similar to that of Chrome. It wasn't a surprise since we were in the world's backwaters.
Countries and Empires were easily hundreds to thousands of times larger than Chrome. Starting small wasn't a bad thing. It was better than those who didn't even have a starting point.
I had to find a way to get information to keep myself from sidetracking. The best way to do so was to get the information from a higher-ranking person in this city.
