Toward the Sacred Land.

Hundreds of meters beneath the ground, a long, narrow tunnel snaked through the earth like a serpent's spine.

The air was thick and heavy, illuminated only by the dim, flickering glow of strange crystals clinging to the damp walls.

In the lead was an old Necoris walking with a fluent gait. Under the dim light, his steps were unfaltering and quick. 

Behind him were Orzall and two other Necoris elders, each carrying their weapons with firm gazes.

Zimo and his men followed behind, their expressions tinged with amazement. Who would have expected such an ancient passage to exist beneath the Necoris kingdom?

Even after walking for hundreds of meters, the end of the narrow tunnel remained far out of sight. 

According to Orzall, the sacred land could not be reached from the surface. Only through this ancient passage could it be located.
