Chapter 359 - A diffrent type of town (2/2)

[Dragon's truth skill activated]

”Tell me, why is Zrey so special?”

[Skill failed: The ability has been blocked by outside forces]

For the first time, Ray's Dragon's truth ability didn't work. He left Bob be and went back to the roof of the carriage while they continued the journey.

For some reason, Ray felt his heart beating louder with excitement.

'Someone was able to block my ability, well that's a first.' He thought, amused with the circ.u.mstance. 'There are so many possibilities. Could it have something to do with the werewolves? Or was it something else?'

While using his Dragon's eyes skill, he could tell that Bob wasn't a werewolf. Hence, it was clear that not everyone knew about where Zrey was.

Which meant that there might be something else going on in there that was bigger than he thought. What could a town be hiding so much that they needed to keep being so secretive?

Finally, they had reached a fairly large wall. It was red in colour and seemed like it stretched far from either side. The path only allowed one to go left or right, eliminating the possibility of going around the place, but Bob had pointed to go forward.

On the spot that Bob pointed at, there was a stone slab displayed. Written on that slab was a strange script that not even Ray could recognise.

Jack looked at the writing and announced the words out loud.

”To the original land, I have returned.” After speaking those words, a piece of the wall started to shift. A large piece of the wall, shaped in an arch, started to descend to the ground until eventually, it revealed a stone pathway lit up by torches.

”It looks like you really are from Zrey?” Bob inquired. ”If you know the password, then the door shall open. Come on then, let's go.”

The carriage continued to move along the stone pathway. Once they passed the entrance, it began to close again, barring their way of escape, away from the sight of the outside world.

”I thought you said you couldn't remember your way home, yet you remember the code?” Bob asked, curious of the uncanny excuse that Jack said to him earlier.

Although Jack had kept silent, for he really didn't know the code, he was just reading the words that had been written on the stone slab.

The path was quite long, and even with the carriage, it took them five minutes to arrive at their destination.

”Well, here we are,” Bob said.

It was an underground town, but it didn't look like any other town. The buildings were mostly made out of gold and silver and was decorated with jewels all over. Just from the look it, one could tell that the town was wealthy.

The jewels magnificently sparkled as they reflected the surrounding lights. Even the people who were walking about donned high-end articles of clothing, with different types of jewels and accessories riddling them.

”This is it!” Jack said excitedly. ”This is my hometown!”

”Jack, it was a pretty big detail you left out that the town you grew up in was underground, don't you think so?” Ray said with an annoyed tone, looking at Jack like he cheated him.
