Chapter 16: Underground tunnel
Zane walked into the house, and Lucy was already there.
"That was fast," he said.
"Their guards are exceptionally weak," she replied.
Zane looked around the house a bit. The lights inside were off, but he could still see the layout and everything like it was day.
If his memory served him right, the path that led to the underground arena was built under the cellar, and the path to the cell was the store, which was close to the kitchen.
He walked toward the kitchen and then straight to the thick wooden door of the store. There was a large lock on the door, so he grabbed it and pulled it, snapping it off.
He pushed the door and walked in. The warm smell of grains and other produce wafted into his nose. Bags and bags of different foodstuffs filled the room. At the center of the room was a wooden trapdoor that led down to the cellar.
He pulled the door open and climbed down. Lucy followed, using the ladder and getting down into the cellar. The moment they stepped in, the smell of fermented grapes mixed with beer.
It was heavy and potent, almost distracting, as vampires had a much better and more sensitive sense of smell. Zane sniffled a few times before he reached the ground. He looked around—large barrels stood from left to right, all around.
’I can’t recall where exactly the door that leads to the underground tunnel is, but it shouldn’t be hard to find if I focus,’ Zane thought.
"Master, behind the last three barrels, there is a gap behind the walls," Lucy casually said.
"Gahhhh!" Zane’s mouth opened wide. He didn’t even get to try and look. He looked at her with teary eyes, and she immediately panicked and started waving her hands.
