Shard still didn't understand the appearance of that mysterious note, whether Clara the maid's sister had truly left a clue, or if it was the Deity deliberately providing an unexpected clue to increase the fun of the journey.
But just as the Deity said last time, they were merely travelers, not detectives, so Shard knew he didn't need to understand everything.
"The unexpectedly appearing Ice Crystal brought a new challenge for the travelers. An Angel provided guidance, a Witch left a key, and the key unlocked a new map. The faithful Hound felt secretly distressed over that map, while the Unicorn was full of hope. The travelers camped at noon to rest, so what will you do in the afternoon? Continue to hurry forward to face new unknown challenges, or follow the map's guidance to climb the Snow Mountain, in search of that faint hope?"
