A chilly sensation swept through the room, though not overwhelming—it felt like a warm energy subtly encircling them. Minerva and Naviga moved cautiously, scanning for hidden dangers or traps as they proceeded further.
As they approached the end of the room, the floor shifted to a reddish-brown color, similar to the tunnel walls they had traversed earlier.
Here, blue and white magic bulbs attached in grey walls. The white bulbs were particularly concentrated at the center of the grey walls.
Below the white bulbs, racks made of smooth white marble lined the walls. Upon these racks stood peculiar machines, round and encased in laminated glass. Each machine was about 2.5 feet tall and resembled a container tube designed for storing experiments.
