Chapitre 120: Chapter 122 - Aecilia's Small World

"This way, my Lord."

The woman in the cloak glanced back at Avendial as they reached the end of the corridor, halting to gesture for him to enter the door ahead.

The door opened on its own, revealing an elevator or lift.

Aecilia stepped inside, and Avendial followed closely, positioning himself beside her before looking back towards the cloaked woman, who bowed as the door slid shut before them and the lift began its descent.

"How on earth did you manage to dig this deep?"

Avendial asked, the reality of being now two hundred meters underground settling in.

The thought that such a feat could be accomplished without the government taking notice seemed almost unfathomable.

As they continued deeper, the lift's movement indicated they were descending much further than he had first anticipated.
