While Richard was observing, Molly and the Long-haired Woman's group also emerged from the passageway.
Molly raised her eyes toward the stone wall and said, "This is the entrance to the ruins. We tried for a long time before and discovered that a single seal truly couldn't open it. Left with no choice, we had to seek your cooperation. I hope what you said before was true. Don't let this expedition fail before it even begins... otherwise, it would be an outright joke."
"Don't worry. I want that to happen even less than you do," Richard said.
"Good. Take out your seals. See those two small holes? Just insert them separately. I'll handle the rest," Molly said.
"Alright." Richard did not waste words. He reached out and took out two seals, one red and one blue, then walked up to the stone wall and inserted them into the two small holes.
After inserting them, he twisted them. With a crisp click, the stone wall suddenly shook. A crack appeared in the middle, and it slowly opened like a massive stone door.
The gap gradually widened, but at a very slow pace. It was estimated that the stone door would take dozens of minutes to open completely.
Buzzz!
Creak, creak, creak!
Molly watched, blinked, and pointed forward. The healed wound on her fingertip split open, and drops of thick crimson blood flew out and landed on the stone wall.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Explosive sounds rang out from inside the stone wall as large amounts of stone debris fell from its surface.
With two swishes, the two seals embedded in the wall popped out and were collected by Richard. Then the entire wall flashed with blue-violet colored lights. Like a rusty iron gate that had been oiled, its opening speed abruptly increased.
