And she's not the only one trying to reach it...

CLVIII. The Mythic Temple.

Vanilla took Avrevm Bacvlvm from her inner pockets, and the Patriarch and she began to descend the vertical tunnel that led to the location of those ruins where the Sacred Chamber awaited to be open.

"It was an incredibly hard labor for us to make this tunnel," He said as they entered it. He lit a torch, and Vanilla kept pressed the Citrine in Avrevm Bacvlvm. "The foundations of this church are complex. We had to make sure we did not take them down while we shattered the dirt below."

"When did you start digging this?" She asked. "I bet it didn't take you a simple couple of days."

"Not even money can accelerate a process like this," He said. "We had already the equipment down here in the crypts ready to begin the digging. We started about one month after the last time you visited us in St. Agnes street. That is almost 1 year."
