The portal opened before their eyes. A hissing sound made Erend, Billy, and Lt. Boartusk felt a little surprised. It was unusual for such a hissing sound to appear when the Portal was open.
But they didn't see Aurdis worried. He didn't even say anything and continued to stretch her arms towards the Portal.
The Portal then opened completely and revealed what was on the other side. A dark study room appeared. But no one seemed to be working behind the counter.
Aurdis looked behind her. "Can we get in already?"
"Can you tell if there's someone there waiting for us?" Lt. Boartusk asked.
"There's no one there," Aurdis replied. "At least for now."
"All right. Then, let's go in." Lt. Boartusk gave the order. "Erend takes the point."
Erend nodded and walked to the front towards the Portal. In his hand was an Elf dagger just like what Billy and Lt. Boartusk have.
Thanks for your support. The extra chapter will release when Power Stone reaches 50. :)
