The inscription didn't end there. It continued on a new line, its tone clearly smug and provocative.
"To the loyal hounds of the 'Eye of Order'—you must have turned the whole Empire upside down hunting for us, right? I bet you never expected us to be hiding in your precious granary. Quite the surprise, isn't it?"
The next line seemed to carry a silent mockery.
"What a pity, what a pity. You're still one step too late."
"That 'certain something' you've been so desperate to find, digging three feet deep for... well, hehe, it's right here somewhere in Sui Cang Hall. But as for where exactly?"
The last line of text was deliberately drawn out, filled with the glee of a successful prank.
"Hahahaha... So please, by all means, take your time... take your sweet, sweet time searching for it! Good luck!"
"Holland?"
Gazing at the mocking inscription on the wall, Roland furrowed his brow.
