Chapter 117: The Bright Sword Tomb-3
Meanwhile, Seon Woo-jin, who had chosen the left path and been running for quite some time, slowed his pace upon sensing no signs of pursuit from behind.
Then she whispered softly to Dang Yeo-eun.
“Lady Dang Yeo-eun, it seems they went the other way. There’s no need to rush.”
“Ah, yes.”
Having stopped walking, the two could now finally take their time to look around.
The cave interior consisted of a circular passageway built from large bricks.
The bricks were meticulously fitted together, almost seamlessly connected, as if crafted with great care.
Moreover, despite being deep inside the cave, the two could easily make out their surroundings with their own eyes.
This was because a faint green light flowed throughout the entire cave.
Dang Yeo-eun gazed at the green glow of the night pearls irregularly embedded in the ceiling along the passageway and remarked with wonder.
“I’ve never seen so many night-shining pearls before. Even if we brought all the night-shining pearls from the Dang family, we wouldn’t have this many, right?”
Seon Woo-jin replied with a wry smile.
“So that’s a night pearl. I’d only heard about them before—this is my first time seeing one in person. I heard they’re incredibly expensive, so using one instead of a torch is a bit mind-boggling. Well, at least it saves the trouble of lighting a torch.”
He then studied the arrangement of the night pearls and the characters carved into the surrounding stones before speaking again.
