Chapter 328: The Temple’s Secret Passage
The day after the trial of the corrupt nobles, Renjun had to keep meeting with more families to compensate or punish them, depending on why they were there.
Before he started, we asked him if he knew anything about the core that was supposedly hidden under the palace.
Renjun told us that he had heard the story of an ancient treasure buried under, but he thought that it was just a tale as he had never seen it.
He explained that he had walked all over the underground tunnels and knew them well enough to avoid getting lost. Even then, he had never seen an ancient relic down there.
I was about to ask him to give us access so that we could inspect the tunnels, but Nessa interrupted us first, saying that she had seen a strange door inside Phelena’s temple.
The temple was relatively close to the palace, so if it somehow had an underground passage, it was possible that it reached under it.
"I found the door at the back of the temple, but it was sealed with some strange magic..." said Nessa.
She explained that if the door hadn’t been sealed with that spell but with demonic energy, she would have been able to open it with no problem. Nonetheless, it was something she hadn’t seen before.
While Renjun kept doing his job as the new emperor, our group visited the temple to check out the mystery door.
