Chapter 1608 (1/2)

The guide of the key soon reached the end. It was a broken wooden single door, standing silently on the stone brick corridor, like a patch on a good dress. The wooden door is so old that its edges have been uneven. Cold winds hiss slightly along the gap, like naughty children whistling outside the door.

There was no lock on the door. Of course, there was a neat triangular gap at the position that should have been the handle, which was just the same size as the iron block in the female mage's hand. Kate did not hesitate. It was not the first time she opened the door, so she naturally put the key into the gap.

The size of the key was the same as the gap, but the key that should have been inserted tightly failed to enter the door smoothly as expected. The female mage's face changed and explained in a slightly flustered tone,

”I'm sorry, I'm in the wrong direction. I always forget that this triangular pyramid key has up and down. It can't be inserted until the pattern on the side matches the pattern on each side of the door.”

”It doesn't matter. We don't care.”

Yes, of course Atta and Kairas don't care, because if the female mage doesn't apologize, they won't know it's a wrong attempt.

The opening of the magic door does not depend entirely on the key, but also on how to use the key. Cheese has talked about this many times in gossip. The action of opening the door is essentially a ritual in magic. Some rituals are simple and some rituals are complex, which is the case.

But unlike Atta, who answered immediately, Kalas shook his ears a little. A mistake? It's really normal. Anyway, the female mage is under coercion. Although he and atta don't look so scary, Kate can't guarantee her fate after opening the door.

Maybe they will let her go, maybe she will be taken to the prison full of goblins, stabbed to death by a sword, and the body will be shared by the goblins. But are these mages appreciated by the grey robe really so unbearable? Although Kate's body expression expresses her anxiety and tension, why hasn't this tension appeared before? What is she nervous about? What is she thinking?

”It's open! Thanks for the magic.”

Kate said with some relief. Part of the triangular prism in her hand fell into the gap on the door, leaving a part slightly longer than half, but the thin wooden door firmly stuck it on her body.

It can be seen that the density of keys is uneven, and the weight distribution is probably uneven. One of the keys to opening the door may be how to achieve balance on both sides of the door and use fragile fulcrum to keep the heavy metal strip stable.

The wooden door opened inward in a shaking, revealing the downward extending corridor. The wind blowing out of the dark corridor smelled of soil, as if they were going to enter not the underground test site, but the tomb.

”You can go back. Thank you.”

Atta looked inside the door and said to Kate. Further down, the female mage's position as a member of the city of ten thousand laws will become awkward. Helping to find the key can also be regarded as being coerced. If she follows into the experimental field where the goblins are detained, Kate has the obligation to stop for the interests of the school, even if the price of doing so is her life safety.

However, this is not true as long as she is not present.

The female mage showed a grateful expression. She almost said goodbye to atta, but a few seconds later, she swallowed her words again,
