When Angel's gaze fell on the keyhole of the Clear Sky Poem Room's door, Adanis and Olao, separated from him by only a wall, both held their breath.
What would they do next? He had discovered the door's lock... Did he have a key?
"They absolutely cannot have a key. Absolutely not." Adanis spoke with utter certainty, trying to bolster herself psychologically.
Olao did not answer, but inwardly, he agreed with Adanis.
Adanis had once exiled a great number of Noah descendants. Throughout those repeated exiles, she had learned that the blueprint for forging the Clear Sky Poem Room's key had already been lost by the Noah descendants.
And the Noah descendants of today were very likely unaware that the Clear Sky Poem Room even required a key.
Even if the Noah Clan had somehow found the blueprint again, they would most likely fail to recognize that it represented the key to the Clear Sky Poem Room.
Because what the alchemical blueprint forged was not an ordinary key, but a dagger!
This dagger was a genuine alchemical weapon of astonishing power. Even if someone forged it, it would be difficult to connect it with the word "key."
Taking all that into account, Olao did not believe they possessed the Clear Sky Poem Room's door key.
Still, Olao held onto a sliver of hope.
Because beyond things governed by rules, this world also contained things beyond the rules, things not controlled by them.
For instance, the Universal Key—a key that could open every lock.
And the Wild-Growing Plant Kingdom, a length of vine. Anything it touched would become part of the Plant Kingdom. Even a locked door could be effortlessly transformed into a curtain of wisteria blossoms. At that point, whether there was a lock or not would no longer matter.
