Two long-extinguished torches were hanging on the walls on both sides. Angele walked down for about five meters and a brown door appeared in his front. He heard the blood giant killing the guards, but there was no dead body on the floor.

The door was made of wooden planks and there were large gaps between each of the plank.

The arched door had the height of an average human being.

Angele tried to push the door, but it did not move.

There was a keyhole on the left. He raised his right hand and put the tip of the dagger in the keyhole. The tip of the silver dagger melted and went into the keyhole, turning into the key.

*CRACK*

The wooden door was unlocked.

Behind the door, there was a yellow sacrificial altar and there were two burning candles standing on their stands. Their orange light brightened the area.

In the center of the altar, there was a thick book with a red cover lying on a wooden stand.

Angele made sure that there was no one behind him. He stepped into the door and closed it.

He wiped the thick white dust off the surface of the book and revealed its title: The Book of the Dead.

The characters were written in the ancient language and they looked like a terrifying black skull with two horns.

'The Book of the Dead?' Angele looked a bit confused. 'Some people will compile their greatest achievements into books before passing away and this is definitely one of them, so what the blood giant said was correct-this is someone's tomb...'

He opened the book and saw a colorful picture on the first page.

It was a cavalryman with red heavy armor and a war horse. Burning flames surrounded the cavalryman's body and he was raising a white scimitar into the air.

There was a short sentence written under the picture: Burning Knight Orlando, his bravery shall be remembered.

The rest of the book recorded the knight's achievements and how many wars he had served in. However, Angele had never heard of any countries mentioned in it.

There was no valuable information in the book and Angele returned it onto the wooden stand.

He glanced around and saw two tunnels leading to the same exit. The torches inside the tomb were still burning and the bright light warmed the place up.

A rotten smell permeated the air, it was mixed with the intense smell of pine oil. The only sound in the tomb came from the flames on the torches.

Angele turned left and passed through a short tunnel, reaching another wooden door on the other side

He unlocked the door quickly with the same trick.

Behind the door, there was a spacious hall.

There was a stone staircase on the other side of the hall, the stairs led to another altar with a plate on it. Yellow flame was burning on the plate.

There were six small caves on both sides of the hall-each side had three caves. Inside each cave, there was a book with a red cover on top of a small platform.

There was a total of six books lying on the inclined wooden stands quietly.

In the center of the hall, there was a rectangular stone coffin, small pieces of red rubies inserted into its edges. Each ruby had the size of an eyeball and was reflecting the light from the flame.
