"Maybe we can find the answers in the royal family's forbidden area," Lena responded earnestly.
While they were talking, the two of them had passed through the two rows of dragon pillars and reached the end of the passage. They found themselves blocked by a relief stone wall engraved with nine dragons. They looked for gaps on the wall but there were none.
"Have we arrived already? Is this it?" Rocky curiously looked at Lena and asked.
"This wall must be the entrance, but it seems that we have to open it in some special way. In fact, the secret room of the Witch Palace has a structure like this. I'll try to open it in the way I open the Witch Palace's secret room," Lena pondered. The forbidden area and the Witch Palace's secret room were both built by the first Witch, so there was a chance that the opening ways might be the same.
When Lena waved her gauze sleeve and whispered something into the wall, many beams of golden light immediately flashed from the wall, and then quickly disappeared.
However, there was no change in the stone wall.
"It did not work." Lena shook her head with disappointment. She felt defeated since she did not have any ideas anymore on how to open the passage.
"Let's observe every corner of the stone wall to see if we can find any odd marks," Rocky said to Lena after thinking for a while.
So, the two of them began to check the whole stone wall. One checked the left side and the other checked the right side. They also checked the carvings on the side of the wall but found nothing.
"There's no mark whatsoever here," Lena said to Rocky in dismay.
"What on earth is the way to enter the forbidden area? Alston had been trying to enter it for more than half a year. I believe that he had used almost all the methods he could think of. This only means that the way to open the passage to the forbidden area must be unique. Alston and the Dragon Master Clan obviously hid my father. However, even the Dragon Master Clan did not know how to enter it. Maybe something that was mentioned in The Witch's Book is needed to open it. But what is it? I have no clue," Rocky said in confusion. He thought about it over and over again.
He looked up at the stone wall when suddenly he felt that he had seen one of the dragon carvings before. It looked very inconspicuous because it was mixed with other dragon carvings. If he didn't look carefully, he would definitely have ignored it!
Rocky suddenly thought of something and immediately took out the jade token that his father had given him. The dragon carving on the back of the jade token was exactly the same as the dragon carving that he noticed.
"Wait, Basil, do you think..." When she saw that Rocky took out the jade token, Lena thought of the same thing as Rocky.
