Chapter 109

Cobra solemnly led Lynn and Nico Robin deep into the royal mausoleum. The ancient staircase descended into the dim, yellowish light, looking like a mystical passageway connecting history to reality. With every step they took, they could feel the profound weight of the stone blocks beneath their feet, as though the stones were whispering of stories sealed away by the passage of time. As they walked forward, torches suddenly flared to life along the walls on either side. The flames burned steadily with no wind present, their warm glow banishing the gloomy shadows and casting the entire space in an atmosphere of mystery and solemnity. The flickering candlelight felt like an ancient ritual welcoming their arrival as visitors.
