into an underground chamber.

00:11:06,600 --> 00:11:07,840
new question arose.

Speaker 1: Les Graviore de si di sa lissa an de couvert Can.

137
00:11:18,639 --> 00:11:22,240
Speaker 4: The engravings showed unknown scenes and symbols, suggesting that their

138
00:11:22,320 --> 00:11:23,720
discovery was just a beginning.

139
00:11:24,840 --> 00:11:26,519
Speaker 1: Elodi, Eloro.

140
00:11:29,720 --> 00:11:31,679

144
00:11:54,200 --> 00:11:58,120
Speaker 4: Alodi understood that intuition was her guide, but Laurents skepticism

145
00:11:58,240 --> 00:12:01,000
had its place, keeping the duo grounded in reality.

146
00:12:02,080 --> 00:12:08,440

148
00:12:13,799 --> 00:12:16,279
Speaker 4: For his part, Laurent opened up to the idea that

149
00:12:16,399 --> 00:12:20,879
mysteries could still elude human understanding, even beyond established facts.

150

152
00:12:35,039 --> 00:12:37,960
Speaker 4: As the sun set behind the trees. The duo, united

153
00:12:38,000 --> 00:12:40,960
by this ordeal, knew that their journey of exploration was

154
00:12:41,120 --> 00:12:41,679
just beginning.

157
00:12:51,759 --> 00:12:54,720
Speaker 4: The ancient Ruins had revealed a secret but much more

158
00:12:54,720 --> 00:12:56,200
awaited discovery.

hope and anticipation.
