173 Elder Drake & Dragon (1/2)

---

The entrance that was blocking the hidden passage moved.

It was a circular door that parted in the middle, this also the same thing that prevented Raven's spying. This door opened as soon as the guy earlier disappeared, maybe he's the one who opened it for them or he contacted others to do it for him.

Nevertheless, the two entered the tunnel behind the circular door. Victor lit up a torch and gave one to Raven as well, he then said:

\”No matter how bright or dim this place is, no matter how good your eyesight, remember that we are only allowed to use regular torches as a light source and nothing else. Anyone who enters this tunnel must light up a torch or else they will be treated as infiltrators. Keep this in mind.\”

Victor's tone was full of solemnness which meant that he was serious, Raven kept this information inside his mind, and with how good his memory is, it is very unlikely that he will forget about his warning.

Seeing him nod to his warnings, Victor smiled and the two kept walking. Eventually, they reached the end of a tunnel. Once outside, they were greeted by a sea grass and trees. Raven looked up and saw that there is a sun hanging at the sky, he frowned as told himself that this shouldn't be possible, it was night time when they entered the tunnel and it didn't took them that long to traverse it for it to be day time once again.

Raven narrowed his eyes and inspected this scene with his ocular technique, then everything became clear to him. He was right, it was still night time and the sun that he's seeing right now is man made one, created from a high grade array formation. He's guessing that this array should be connected outside, that's the only way that it could mimic the sun this good that it almost fooled him.

Victor was about to explain this to him but for some reason, he could tell that Raven already knew the answer. Well, he actually wasn't sure if Raven truly managed to come up with the correct answer but his instincts told him that he did so he didn't bother explaining.

They arrived at a tall metal gate, in front of the gate there are two hooded figures. These people blocked the way and prevented them from moving forward.

Victor stepped forward and greeted them, he showed them his badge and signaled Raven to do the same. The guards checked the authenticity of the badges and saw no fault so they stepped towards the side and opened the gate for them.

The gates then revealed a very expansive mansion. There are several people who roamed around the mansion, some are servants who tends to the place, others are similar to the both of them, here for the gathering. They made their way towards the main doors of the mansion, they were once again asked to show their badges and they did, then they were allowed in.

Raven inspected everyone here. Just like them, most of the people here are wearing some sort of a disguise, the only people who aren't wearing one are the servants that roamed around.

Raven followed Victor around and they ended up inside a spacious room with some people waiting.

\”Goat's here.\”

\”Took him long enough.\”

\”Since when was he on time anyway.\”

The people around them suddenly became active and started talking about Victor. Raven inspected these people one by one and came to a realization that everyone here had a cultivation level of at least Knight Realm and above.

\”Oh, he brought someone.\”

\”A little Soldier? Why are you dragging a kid here Goat?\”

\”Will you shut up people? Why don't you allow Goat to explain first?\”

Victor was a bit overwhelmed by the enthusiasm of the people around him that he was actually finding it hard to reply to each of their questions. Raven on the other hand wasn't paying attention to any of their words, instead he was focused onto something else.

'That's one scary dude.' He thought.
