Bab 538: The Secret Underground Tunnel

"Your Majesty, do you really feel that the thing we are looking for is underneath the palace?"

In the dark tunnel, a huge group of mages fumbled forward while holding up torches. Elemental shields of various colours protected them, to prevent anything from springing out of the darkness in front of them.

The mage at the very front turned his head and turned to ask the Queen, who was being guarded in the middle of the team.

"This was recorded in the royal ancient books so it should not be wrong." The Queen looked forward and answered calmly, "This secret tunnel that runs under the palace really existed. This shows that the contents of the ancient books are not wrong."

Right now, they were roughly a few hundred meters under Gealorre. The secret tunnel was rather wide; the dark grey walls had been here for who knew how many years and on them were carved ancient runes and decorative patterns. Withered, yellowing moss climbed on them and there was a slightly pungent smell in the air.
