Efter touren var slut, stod Jakob og kiggede på nogle gamle kort, da Sofie nærmede sig.

Jakob smilede.

"Kasper nævnte nogle mindre kendte steder i ruinerne," svarede han.

"Kasper mentioned some lesser-known spots in the ruins," he replied.

"Vil du med på opdagelse?"

"Would you like to go exploring?"

Sofie tøvede et øjeblik, men hendes nysgerrighed blev vakt.

Sofie hesitated for a moment, but her curiosity was piqued.

"Ja, det tror jeg, jeg vil.

"Yes, I think I would.

Lad os se, hvad vi kan finde!"

Let's see what we can find!"
