Fated to the Cursed Lycan Prince by Dark Knight
Chapter 560 Looking For The Key Hole
Sylvia’s POV:
Judging from what Ashley had just said and the runes in the stone chamber, I was almost certain that this was the domain of a powerful witch.
As for the key…
“My intuition tells me that this pendant is the key to this stone chamber, or the pendant wouldn’t have reacted so abnormally, right? And after it glowed hot and red, the black mist appeared and brought us here,” Flora concluded seriously, holding up the pendant.
“Where did you get that pendant?” Ashley suddenly asked.
“We found it in Geoffrey’s secret room. Rufus said that Noreen’s scent is on it,” I answered honestly.
Flora immediately shivered. “Noreen? Isn’t she the most difficult black witch to deal with?”
“Yes. And if I’m not mistaken, we might have accidentally entered Noreen’s domain…” I said slowly.
Flora froze in horror. “This is too much. I had no idea that one day I’d be so close to a legend.”
I couldn’t help but burst into laughter. Flora wasn’t wrong. Noreen’s notorious name and horrible deeds had spread far and wide among the werewolves.
“Well, I hope we won’t face Noreen herself. We won’t stand a chance against her,” I said grimly.
“If the pendant got us into this place, maybe it can get us out,” Layla, who had been quiet this whole time, suddenly suggested.
“But there’s nothing here. I just fumbled around the walls, but I didn’t find a place to put the key.” I frowned. This was tricky. I had explored every part of the small stone chamber, but I found no clues.
“Try again.” As Flora spoke, she hurried to feel the walls for a key hole.
We ran the length of the walls a few more times but still found nothing.
“Perhaps we need to chant something in order to activate the key…” Disappointed, Flora couldn’t help but whine. “These witches just had to use spells for everything! How troublesome!”
I leaned against the stone wall in a daze, clutching the pendant in my hand tightly.
Did we draw the wrong conclusion?
I doubted it. The black mist didn’t appear until the pendant started to burn, which was enough to prove that the pendant had something to do with the stone chamber.
Maybe Flora was right and we needed an incantation to get out.
I turned to Ashley and asked, “Did Hobson say anything about a spell needed?”
Ashley seemed to be racking her brains. Finally, she shook her head. “No. He didn’t say anything.”
Just then, Layla suddenly shouted excitedly, “There’s a small hole here! Check it out!”
Flora and I hurried to where she was pointing. The small hole Layla mentioned was under a stone lamp. It was very well hidden.
“Oh, my God! Layla, you’re amazing. You found it!” Flora practically pounced on Layla and gave her a bear hug.
“Don’t thank me yet. We don’t know if it’s the key hole or not.” Layla chuckled. Then, she looked at me meaningfully, urging me to put the pendant into the hole.
I held the pendant up against the small hole and compared them. The shape and size of the hole were similar to those of the pendant.
Sure enough, when I pressed the pendant into the hole, the solid stone wall instantly swung open, revealing a wide room inside.
“Oh, my God! It was a door all along!” Flora was overjoyed and looked out the door curiously.
In the center of the room, there was a huge crystal ball. A soft, mysterious blue light emanated from it, lighting up the whole stone chamber.
Shelves lined the walls of the room, covered with all kinds of magic medicine and glassvials.
My eyes lit up. Perhaps the antidote that’d break the curses on Blair and Rufus was among them!
I couldn’t hide my excitement and rushed into the room, closely followed by Flora.
But as soon as we stepped into the room, the floor collapsed from under our feet.
