Lucas stopped and contemplated his options; he made it his goal to reveal the truth behind the SHADOW SEARCH and its motives however, what Merlin said weighed heavily.
Merlin being part of the creator knew things no one did; doubting his word was no different than doubting the creator of the game itself.
"What do you propose I do?"
Merlin looked at the young man and closed his eyes. As per his creator's decree, he had to ensure that the knowledge of the White Room is passed down to whoever found the catacombs first.
He placed his ethereal staff on Lucas's forehead and began to channel information to the latter about the White Room and how to call it to his aid.
[Shikigami]
[Holder of the White Room]
[Do you accept the key Yes/No]
Lucas blinked after having his head infiltrated by the information. He looked at the system notification and confirmed the system's request to give him the key to the White Room.
