Update:
Before we begin our secret quest, here's a quick update on the secret token. The price is starting to stabilize gradually, increasing to 0.07 per unit. Don’t forget to sell some unless you're waiting for it to rise further—the choice is yours.
We still have 600 in circulation. There are always offers on the sales wall for those who want to try their luck at obtaining some without playing and to finance our legend's quest.
The one who listed a sale at 0.9 might get lucky one day (but not today). The tokens are rising slowly to maintain stability.
486+145 = 631

After a good night's sleep, the legend found herself at a crossroads. Should she continue her exploration of the city to uncover more of its hidden mysteries? This city, once prosperous, now seemed shrouded in a veil of mystery and buried secrets. The ruins and dilapidated buildings stood as silent witnesses to a forgotten past.
The idea of taking the mysterious path discovered behind the door of the church hotel tempted her. This dark and enigmatic passage might hold revelations about the city's history and the reasons for its decline. However, another path lay before her: following the river upstream in a perilous quest to climb the mountain. This majestic and imposing mountain was home to the water source, a natural enigma seemingly connected to the figure of the great angel. This angelic symbol, almost mythical, could be the key to many answers.
While waiting to make a decision, the legend knew she had to rely on her companions. These brave and determined adventurers had chosen to follow her on this odyssey. Their return was eagerly anticipated, as they would bring back valuable information from their personal explorations. Their discoveries and "secrets" could provide crucial clues to unravel the surrounding mysteries.
To pass the time and avoid remaining idle, the legend decided to embark on her own investigation. She roamed the deserted streets, observing the remnants of the city's former grandeur. Every corner, every alley could contain a fragment of history. She questioned the few remaining inhabitants, trying to understand why such a great city was now almost empty. The answers were often evasive, tinged with fear or resignation. Nevertheless, she did not become discouraged.
The buildings, though dilapidated, told a story. The cracked facades and broken windows whispered tales of glory and downfall. While exploring an old library, she discovered ancient documents, scrolls, and maps that might contain valuable clues. Each discovery, no matter how small, was another step toward understanding the mystery of this ruined city.
Thus, the legend pressed on, balancing urban exploration and reflection, patiently awaiting the return of her companions. Together, they hoped to untangle the threads of this complex enigma and find the truth hidden behind the deceptive appearances of this fallen city.
While talking with the few residents willing to share information, one of them revealed a crucial detail. This man, his features marked by time and the harsh life in the declining city, explained that to learn more about the current state of the city, she should seek out a legendary figure: the one who was once considered the master of these lands. This former lord, once powerful and respected, might hold the keys to understanding the mysteries surrounding the city. However, no one knew for certain if he was still alive. The resident pointed the legend to a winding, overgrown path that led to an old ancestral castle, now in ruins.
Intrigued by this new lead, the legend decided to follow the path. The trail, lined with ancient trees and thorny bushes, seemed seldom used, adding an air of mystery to her journey. As she progressed, the sounds of the city faded, replaced by the whisper of the wind through the foliage and the distant cries of birds.
After several hours of walking, she finally saw the imposing outlines of the ruined castle. The stone walls, once majestic, were now covered in ivy and cracked by time. The entrance, once grand and welcoming, was now a gaping archway, threatening to collapse. She advanced cautiously, crossing the threshold of the ancient fortress.
Inside, the castle told a story of past grandeur and inevitable decline. The large halls were empty, the floors littered with debris and broken furniture. Yet, something in the air indicated that this place was not completely abandoned. In a central room, she discovered signs of recent habitation: a still-warm fireplace, a few books open on a table, and footprints in the dust.
The legend decided to leave the castle, sending her loyal four-legged companion to fetch the rest of her troupe to join her and perhaps await the owner of the place. The legend also hoped that upon their arrival, the adventurers who had followed her in her quest had managed to obtain more information than she had about the city or about the significance of the great angel depicted on a gigantic wall.
