BXBX NOVEL Chapter 530 Meeting At The Tomb Of Kings
After passing by hundreds of doors, he finally arrived at the correct door. The correct door was imposing and carved with royal symbols.
Andrew recognized the same symbols he had seen in the visions, confirming that he was on the right path. Without wasting any time, he pushed open the heavy door and entered the space ahead, which proved to be a different room from the others. It was smaller and more decorated, with murals on the walls depicting battle scenes and important moments in the kingdom\'s history.
In the center of the room was a large door, as he expected a vault door to be. The door was made of a dark, gleaming metal, adorned with enigmatic symbols and intricate carvings. It was clearly a protective barrier, designed to keep intruders away from what had become the tomb of the ancient kings.
Upon coming upon this door, Andrew was motivated and at the same time annoyed, for contrary to what the visions showed, the door was not open.
"Here it is, the door that leads to the tomb of the ancient kings and where the princesses are hiding. I cannot waste time now, I must keep moving forward..." Andrew stated.
With his sword in hand, Andrew approached the door and tried to push, but the door didn\'t even move. He hadn\'t expected to encounter such an imposing challenge in his path. The door seemed almost indestructible, and a sense of hopelessness tried to seize him. Moreover, it was reinforced with metal bars, with sturdy hinges and a complex locking mechanism.
"It won\'t be easy to open this door, but I can\'t give up now," muttered Andrew to himself, feeling the adrenaline rush through his veins.
Despite everything, Andrew was someone who was resilient. He knew he couldn\'t let doubt and fear overwhelm him. Taking a deep breath, he approached the door once more, studying it carefully this time.
His eyes scanned the symbols and carvings, looking for clues or any hint of how to open it.
It was then that he noticed an unusual pattern in the notches. Some seemed to fit together perfectly, forming a set of pieces that could be moved. It was a puzzle. A mixture of excitement and determination came over Andrew. Immediately, he began to manipulate the pieces, moving them carefully, testing different combinations. Each movement was a step toward the solution. His deft fingers glided across the pieces as he tried to decipher the riddle of the door.
Minutes passed, but Andrew did not give up. He was focused on finding the right combination. His effort and concentration were evident on his tense face.
Finally, after a sequence of movements, a metallic sound echoed through the underground chamber. The door latches began to slowly open, and when they were all open, Andrew pushed the door open, revealing a path ahead.
Andrew felt a mixture of relief and triumph as he saw the door open before him. Carefully, he stepped forward along the path revealed by the door, entering a dark and mysterious corridor. The darkness seemed to envelop him, but he was not shaken. His determination was unshakable, and he continued to advance, confident that he was following the right path.
As he made his way down the corridor, thanks to his class Andrew could feel the pulsing energy in the air. He knew he was approaching a sacred place, charged with history and power. His senses were heightened, alert to any sign of danger or obstacle he might encounter along the way.
After two minutes of walking, Andrew finally spotted a dim light at the end of the corridor. He picked up his pace, eager to find out what awaited him.
When he reached the end of the corridor, he came upon a vast underground chamber, lit by torches on the walls. The place was grandiose, with high pillars and a vaulted ceiling. In the center of the chamber was an imposing sarcophagus adorned with symbols and inscriptions.
In the vast underground chamber, the light from the torches revealed the presence of a dozen guards, King Steveren and the head of the royal guard, Arthas. Princesses Lidia and Ravastine stood beside them, visibly frightened, but protected.
The guards stood in defensive formation, ready to protect the royal family from the threat.
Arthas, with a serious expression, looked at Andrew suspiciously and pointed his sword.
"Who are you and what are you doing here?" asked Arthas in his firm, authoritative voice.
Andrew, lowered his sword, took a deep breath and tried to remain calm. He knew he needed to explain his mission and prove his good intention.
"My name is Andrew," he began, keeping his tone respectful. "I have been sent by Klaus to find and protect the princesses Lidia and Ravastine. I am here to fulfill a mission of utmost importance."
"Klaus?" Ravastine\'s eyes widened upon hearing the name. She knew that name was a private Kaizen name, a secret name.
The eyes of the king and the guards narrowed in suspicion. "How can we know you are telling the truth?"
"I understand your suspicion, but the orb I found at the entrance guided me here, showing me the way to the tomb of the ancient kings and the hiding place of the princesses. You should know that the orb only shows the way to those who are well-meaning... I know I may not look familiar, but I\'m here to help, not to cause trouble," Andrew explained, standing firm in his words.
Lidia, the king\'s eldest daughter, stepped forward and looked into Andrew\'s eyes. "Have you really been sent by Klaus? Where is he?"
"At that moment? I don\'t know, but the last time I saw him, he was fighting in the sky against some kind of strange, humanoid gargoyle."
Suddenly a voice echoed through the chamber, coming from Andrew\'s back. "Oh, you\'re probably talking about my friend Sículo. He\'s a bit eccentric, but certainly very powerful."
