''W-what in Mivera is this?'' Lily stuttered, as soon as they got to the merchants' guild basement, where Jerouch had once been.
Aldis also frowned, and his forehead wrinkled, flustered by what he saw.
The pool of blood still filled the basement and contrary to what one would expect, the blood remained fresh as ever.
And at the centre, lay the coffin of the god knows what. However, the coffin had long stopped draining, which further added to Aldis's headaches.
'What's a coffin doing here? And this pool of blood?' Aldis observed the wall from the distance, being careful not to get too close to the centre.
It wasn't long before Aldis also guessed what happened here. In fact, it was surprising since he didn't see the coffin sucking the blood as Jerouch did.
''This wall, this building… the entire city is a formation for a ritual,'' Aldis murmured and his frown deepened.
