"Thanks for your service, girls, it was really fun. Sadly, I can't spend more time with you, I have a ship to catch. Hopefully, we'll meet again someday."

Ed, while getting ready, spoke emotionally to the two women with whom he had spent the last four hours, what he could truly call the most wonderful four hours of his life. Even Raila paled in comparison, of course, but only when it came to sex. In all other things, they were nowhere near as good as her. How could two strangers be compared to his beloved wife?

Blondie and the black-haired woman, both very satisfied with Ed, who seemed to have infinite stamina, also felt regretful that they wouldn't meet him again. But such was life. In their profession, it was normal to share a bed with someone and then never meet again. Their sadness lasted only a moment before they returned to their usual selves.

Ed gave them each a final, tight kiss, which they returned more enthusiastically than he did, since they would genuinely miss him. After all, it was hard to find a client who didn't lack stamina and could f*ck them until they lost consciousness. Before leaving, he gave each of them a silver snake as a farewell gift and a tip for their wonderful service, then walked out of the room.

Sigh, ten silver snakes… I can't believe I spent a full ten coins just on pleasure. How could it be so expensive?

Ed checked his inventory's money section and was dumbfounded. Before entering the love house, he had 18 silver snakes, now only 8 remained. He had spent 2 to buy two women for four hours, then 1 on two stamina potions. Then, to maintain his performance and the facade of unlimited stamina, he had pretended to step out for something important, hurried to the reception, and bought ten more stamina potions for another 5 silver snakes. And now, he had given away 2 more as tips. He was burning money like water.

"Next time, unless I have a major breakthrough in my strength or enough money to waste, I am never doing a threesome again."

With his mind made up, Ed walked out of the love house. As expected, he didn't find Jason. God knew where that bastard had gone. Shaking his head, he returned to the harbor—there was nothing else that interested him now that he had entered saint mode.

Boarding the Blue Fist again, the deck was empty; no one was there. It seemed those remaining on board were either in their rooms or cabins.

Ed went straight to his room and changed his clothes, which now smelled unpleasant. He first took out Lucilia's mirror from his inventory and placed it on the table before sitting on the bed.

Setting aside his colorful afternoon, he focused his attention back on the main point. This treasure hunt could be described as simple, mainly because the treasure itself was something Thaad had hidden in his younger days, when he wasn't yet experienced in being a pain in the ass.

Ed already knew a great deal about Thaad and had ample information, so after discovering the treasure's location, the system immediately revealed the details. Furthermore, since this item had been hidden by Thaad in his youth without any deliberate preparations to make things difficult, Ed had obtained it very easily.

In Ed's mind, the treasures shown on the map generally fell into two categories.

One type consisted of things casually discarded, buried, or hidden away. These items were generally not difficult to find; once the hiding place was located, they were easy to retrieve. Examples included Turan's relics and his private stash of money. This type of treasure constituted the majority.

The other type was deliberately hidden, concealed in unexpected places, often with traps or challenges. Examples included Jack's legacy and Thaad's treasury. This type of treasure comprised a smaller portion.

He sat down at the table, placed the map of Sacred Armor Island on it, and blinked.

The blue light had dimmed.

[Land of Buried Dreams (Harvested)

Difficulty: Adult

Fame: 0

Treasure Information: In his youth, Sade was also a renowned treasure hunter and adventurer. The severing of his dream path led him to leave behind the things he had prepared for that path forever here.

Treasure Harvest: Nautical Logbook, "The Land of Dreams," Map, Locking Compass.]

No additional information was provided; the harvest only showed the items he had obtained.

He picked up the item wrapped in gray cloth and unfolded it.

The booklet was the nautical logbook, and the thick, ancient book was the so-called The Land of Dreams. The rolled-up scroll was a map.

Then, Ed focused on picking up the disc-like object.

"Is this a compass?"

It was about the size of a palm, somewhat jade-like in appearance. The back was smooth, while the front was engraved with patterns and runes.

"The [Pointer] spell."

Lucilia, who had somehow emerged from her mirror and was now sitting beside him, casually pointed to the inscription on the compass as she spoke.

The spell was clearly etched onto the object's surface.

Seeing that Lucilia had recognized yet another unknown spell, Ed couldn't help but glance at her.

"You're truly knowledgeable," He said, giving her a thumbs-up. Having finally released all his pent-up pressure, he was in an extremely good mood. Even if Elena dragged him out for advanced training and beat him now, he might just let it go, writing it off as childish behavior.

Hearing Ed's praise, Lucilia smiled sweetly. "Hehehe, thank you. This is nothing. When I was alive, my friends all called me a scholar... Back then..."

Seeing Lucilia about to wander off-topic in the middle of the serious conversation, Ed hurriedly pulled her back. "What is the function of this spell?"

"The [Pointer] is generally carved onto various objects. It can always point to a specific place, object, or person."

So that's why it's called the 'Locking Compass.' That makes sense, Ed thought, observing the disc seriously.
