Roland quickly estimated the size of the underground cave. It was almost the size of a football field and was surrounded by steep mountain walls. The junction that connected it was right in the center of the mountain and there was a narrow stone staircase beside the cave that extended further down.
"I guess you didn't cut out these steps." He squatted and put the torch near the ground. The carving marks on the stone steps could be seen clearly under the light and there were a lot of chips and dust accumulated in the carvings.
"Of course not, Your Highness. The stone steps were already here when we found it." Carter shrugged. "I'm guessing it's been there for decades."
"Or centuries," Anna suddenly said.
"I think so too." Lightning nodded. "Border Town has only been established for 70 years so far, so the stone ladder is unlikely to be related to the locals or the kingdom."
