Like everything that hid its secrets in secret places, Miss Gong Linna's coachman, Mr. Zamas, could deeply feel the mystery of this place after entering the passage of the secret tunnel.
White candles naturally lit up along the walls, while neatly arranged statues of bat-men lined both sides of the passage... What were bat-man statues? They were figures as tall as humans, with their wings folded and their bodies half-crouched.
Looking down the row, it was impossible to tell exactly how many there were.
There was also that chilly wind, bringing wave after wave of cold... As Miss Gong Linna's coachman, Zamas himself was a vampire, but even he was slightly startled by the strangeness of this place.
He held the Living Map and kept moving forward while continuously expanding the path ahead through the map. It was precisely because of the Living Map that Zamas could determine whether the road ahead was dangerous.
At least, it did not seem dangerous for now... But the map's expansion speed seemed to have slowed down.
Previously, when expanding into an unknown area, the distance from his position on the map had been nearly the length of one finger... But now, the distance expanded seemed to cover only two finger joints.
Zamas even instinctively felt that this distance was continuing to shrink bit by bit, as though some mysterious force were resisting the Living Map's expansion.
Fortunately, judging from the Living Map, the people in the banquet hall still had not left. That meant his actions had not yet been discovered. It seemed Miss Gong Linna was doing her best to keep Mr. Vali and the others occupied, creating more time for him.
I must do something for the Young Lady. I can't let her down... Zamas.
He silently prayed in his heart.
