The Shadow Guards’ Strength

After receiving his arrangements, Callon was taken to a secret facility that was located underground. There were numerous high-level runes inscribed all over the place, making it impossible for even the top experts to sneak inside. He also noticed some high-grade traps along the narrow path they passed through. His back was covered in sweat as he followed a Shadow Guard. This person didn't speak to him so the entire journey was silent. Only the sounds of their footsteps echoing in the empty passageway could be heard. 

The Shadow Guard suddenly stopped in his tracks and said. "We're here. From now on, you will be Shadow Guard Number 144. Your uniform and items are inside this storage ring. Everything inside will be yours, but you are not allowed to sell them or give them to others." He then handed a ring to Callon.
