她好奇心泛滥，掀开盖子，发现了一叠用磨损的丝带捆在一起的发黄的纸张。
Nestled within was a map unlike any she had ever seen, its edges fringed and ink faded to sepia.
其中藏着一张她从未见过的地图，边缘破损，墨迹褪色成褐色。
The parchment depicted a landscape unfamiliar to Emma—a labyrinth of forests, rivers, and mountains adorned with cryptic symbols that hinted at buried treasure.
羊皮纸描绘了一片艾玛不熟悉的景观——一个由森林、河流和山脉组成的迷宫，上面点缀着暗示埋藏宝藏的神秘符号。
Enthralled by the mystery, she traced the lines with her fingertips, wondering about the hands that had drawn them centuries ago.

Each step brought her closer to the heart of the map's enigma.

As days turned into weeks, Emma encountered fellow travelers—a nomadic storyteller who spoke of lost civilizations, a wise herbalist who shared remedies brewed from forest herbs, and a solitary hunter who warned of dangers lurking in the shadows.
日复一日，艾玛遇到了同路人——一个讲述失落文明的游牧说书人，一个分享用森林草药酿制的疗法的智慧草药师，以及一个警告她有潜伏危险的孤独猎人。
