“I guess this staircase wasn't cut out by you,” Roland said while he squatted down and brought his torch near the ground In the torchlight, he could clearly see marks carved out by knives and axes, with piles of dust and rock bits that ithin the notches
“Of course not, Your Highness At the time we discovered the cave, the stone steps had already existed” Carter said and shrugged his shoulders, ”I guess they must have already been here for decades”
“Or since hundreds of years,” Anna suddenly spoke
“I think so too,” Lightning nodded in agreement, “It is only seventy years since Border Town has been established, it is unlikely for the stone staircase to be related to the locals here or even the kingdom”
“There were already so in the Western Territory several hundred of years ago?” Carter questioned, “Graycastle hadn’t even existed back then”
Roland patted the knight’s shoulder, “Four hundred and fifty years ago, there existed a group of people who have already been forgotten by history” Then he lifted the torch and said, “Let’s go down and take a look”
Twenty to thirty soldiers of the First Ar at the center of the cave, so he took the knight and the witches then went next to one of the God's Punishe of this stone pillar was he finally able to realize how huge this actually was Even by extending his arms as far as he could, he still wasn't able to surround even a tenth of it

Roland also noted that although the God's Stone of Retaliation had a crystal's commonly seen prism shape, its surface didn't have the veined pattern that calass

“You want to give it to the nobles to slaughter witches?” Nightingale asked with a fierce glare
“Uh, this isn't what I ht answered quickly, while unconsciously ht
“It is the first time that I have seen God's Stone of Retaliation shi+ne in these colors, shouldn't they be transparent white—” Lightning curiously looked at the pillars, “In case you take them back with you, won't it be unnecessary to use a candle in the evening?”
“I’d rather bring a candle into an already stuffy roohtingaleboth her hands on her chest, ”For us witches, they are a prison cage, the stocks and chains that are held by the Church! If the world didn't have these damnable stones, it would be better off”
“Oh, Sister Nightingale, you couldn't read a sentence in the evening anyway…” The little girl licked her lips, picked up a stone froround and looked at Roland “Can I take a piece of it back with me as my spoils of adventure?”
Roland nodded, “If you don't hate these kind of things”
