The dirty floor was covered in dust, which made the dark red blood trail very conspicuous.

Angele did not find any other strange things in the room.

He followed the trail of blood to the wall.

It seemed like the blood came from the other side.

The surface of the wall was gray with a silver glint to it. Angele raised his head and saw a head-sized glowing sapphire inserted into the surface of the wall.

The clean blue light cast a reflection on Angele’s robe, and on the sapphire, there was a hidden bloody handprint. It was quite difficult to see and Angele assumed that the handprint was left there by the injured person.

He raised his hand and pressed on the sapphire.

*Crack*

The sapphire was pressed into the wall and moved to the left, revealing a small hidden compartment.

A thin book with a yellow cover lay in there quietly. There was nothing written on it, and it looked old.

Angele grabbed the book and found a set of black metal keys under it.
