Princess Cromwell and Her Six Brothers
In the darkness, they appeared especially fierce, exuding an oppressive majesty.
The two walked side by side, their footsteps echoing dully in the vast hall, spreading out step by step, only to be swallowed by the boundless darkness.
After walking for about ten minutes, a staircase leading deeper inside suddenly appeared ahead. The steps were made of lapis lazuli, deep blue in color and covered with intricate patterns, seemingly ancient runes. On either side of the staircase were carvings of various mythical beasts: Kylin, White Tiger, Phoenix, and Northern Cosmic Protector. However, the passage of time had eroded some of the carvings, leaving mottled traces and adding a sense of desolation.
