Volume Eight: Gathering Storm Chapter One: A Guest Arrives_2

This wall looked utterly ordinary from the outside, but upon closer observation, one could see that its structure was slightly different. Unlike other walls built from large stones, this wall was constructed from many small stone strips, with gaps between them so tight that nearly no trace could be seen. However, if you approached it with a preconceived notion and examined it carefully, you could detect that a few gaps were not quite like the others. By gently tracing these gaps, you could feel a winding gap line extend downwards along the direction of the stones, all the way to the base of the wall. Yet, at the base, everything appeared obvious, showing nothing out of the ordinary, no matter if you stepped or stomped on it. It was clear that the secret was in the wall itself.
