Chapter 1287 - The Elders' Summons

"Sister, welcome. The elder will see you soon."

"Hmm." Replies the cloaked woman while calmly making her through the staff doors and down the cellars.Rêạd new chapters at novelhall.com

~Creak. Creak. Creak. Creak.~

The wooden floors creaked with every step the woman took. And soon, she was already standing before the room designated to her.

Catchack!

The lady leading her to the room opened the door, allowing her to step in.

"Sister, this is where you'll be staying."

"Hmmm." The cloaked woman responded.

With that, the one escorting her stepped out of the room and left her to herself.

But suddenly, the woman just stood tall and mighty, quickly fell to the ground and started breathing heavily.

Woooh~~ Woooh~ Woooh~

She curled on the wooden floors as she trembled and held her belly tightly.

Dammit! The fatal wound on her belly had opened up again.

That's right. She had been travelling with so much pain, which was one of the reasons why she wasted time leaving the wagon earlier on.

It was only because she had been trying to pull herself together, as well as check on her injuries before moving around in the manner she did.

After all, she had walked around the city, jumped over fences when needed and did several feats to ensure that she wasn't followed.

The wound unravelled, and pain quickly slapped her body as though she were stabbed in the gut.

The woman's entire cheeks began trembling while gritting her teeth in pain.

Breathe in, breathe out.

She quickly tried to control herself.

And while in this mode, she began dragging her body towards the desks and bed at the very end of the room.

Where is it? Where is it?

The woman scanned the locker on the desk before checking under or at the back of the beds for any medical supplies.

Instead, they would be trying to steal all the rum and goods around them.

~Din. Din. Din. Din. Din. Din.~~

The floors here didn't creak, as though they were newer and well-maintained than those above. The revelation might make one both confused and shocked. But the better the floors, the stealthier they could move.

Whatever was down here was their secret, and they took extra precautions to ensure that it remained hidden.

The duo walked straight past everything within the room, making their way towards the tiny janitor closet instead.

"Authority insufficient. Please stand back and turn around."

"Yes." The woman replied while doing as she was told.

It was clear that her authority wasn't enough to know how to unlock or open the secret passage within the closet.

Different materials make different sounds.

But unfortunately, even if she wanted to listen in and guess the sounds echoed out, she still couldn't.

Why? Because the person who escorted her maneuvered things around as though she were a ghost.

And in not more than 5 seconds, the secret door opened up.

"Please... After you."

"Hmmm..."

The woman stealthily passed over a few cleaning supplies and took her first step into the secret room.

And after the lady behind her entered, she closed the secret portal, and from there, the duo continued their journey.

In a far distance, a torch was already lit across the hallway, showing them the way.

And once they got to the end, they walked down a stairway, going deeper below.

There was no question about it. The floor they were heading to should be the most treasured in the tavern.

And the more they descended, the more high-maintained the floors were.

The duo walked past another hallway with several doors along its walls.

Until finally, they reached the very end of the hallway, standing before a large iron door.

"Number 5.. The elders will see you now."
