Dwarves and Elves, Mysterious Prisoner

There's someone?

Yasen noticed the subtle change in Ji Chen's expression and quickly asked, "What's going on?"

"There seems to be someone inside." 

Upon hearing this, Yasen's expression darkened, and he immediately ordered the elves and soldiers of the principality to stop moving the goods and remain on guard.

"Your Excellency, we don't know what or who is inside. Should we send a team in for reconnaissance first?" 

Ji Chen nodded, not refusing. While he had confidence in his own abilities, a confined and narrow space like this was not conducive to unleashing his powers. Charging ahead wasn't the role befitting a mage like him.

A mixed team of elves and soldiers entered, and their green markers on the map slowly moved deeper along the narrow passage. When they stopped dozens of meters away from the red marker, they split into two groups and circled around, conducting an internal inspection before returning.
