บท 372: Secret of the Lakes

Extending from the entrance to stretch out like a fibrous root system was a series of mountain ranges, the sole stable structures of existence in the Brimgan Empire.

As to why they were the sole stable structures in such a massive Empire? The answer lay beyond the fibrous network of mountain ranges.

A stretch of water, extending from one end to the other of the Lotus Range. But, it wasn't a uniform stretch like a sea. No, it was a series of lakes placed adjacent to one another.

The walls of each lake spanned a thickness ranging between a kilometre to a dozen kilometres. But they weren't mountains in the sense of being stable entities. No, they were like sponges, expanding out of the ground when necessary before contracting into nonexistence.

One such lake was situated close to a mountain range. The walls of the lake reached a height of ten metres above sea level, appearing porous, resembling coral at first glance, but one covered by dirt and moss.
