Rising from the Ashes (Andrew) novel Chapter 3380

About half a day's travel later, Andrew and the other three arrived at the location marked on the map.

An ancient mountain range lay stretched in front of them.

From the outer area, it was clear, just as Cormac had said, that this had once been old Cavendish royal family territory. There were signs of mining operations and the remains of barracks, showing that the Cavendish royal family had once stationed troops there.

As Andrew led the way, he asked, "Shiloh, about your past memories, can you recall anything else?"

Shiloh looked puzzled. "I have remembered quite a bit, but it is all fragmented. There was a man. I feel like I met him a very long time ago, and he may have even deceived me."

Andrew felt his heart jolt. He had heard her mention this long ago.

Back at Gabo Creek, Shiloh had vaguely started recalling many past events, and she had mentioned a man.

Andrew asked again, "Can you remember what that man looked like?"

Shiloh smiled faintly. "I can remember everything, but it doesn't really matter. That was at least over 100 years ago, and that man is probably long dead."

Andrew fell silent.

Nyx, however, looked stunned. "Shiloh, over 100 years ago? Are you saying you are more than 100 years old? That has to be a joke. You look about my age!"

Shiloh thought for a moment and smiled. "Nyx, I can be certain I'm much older than you. In fact, I am at least over 100 years old. But as I said, I have ageless syndrome, so I don't age. It is a curse every Saintess of the Greene family is born with."

Her eyes dimmed slightly after she said that.

Not far into the mountains, they followed the map carefully.

Soon, Andrew and the others stopped in front of a smooth stone wall.

Nyx looked around and said with disappointment, "There's nothing here except this rock face. Could we have gotten the direction wrong?"

Andrew frowned but did not speak.

This spot was very close to the Cavendish royal family's current activity zone. If the Greene family treasure site had been here all along, it probably would have been discovered by now.

Andrew did not answer and instead studied the wall again.

It was incredibly smooth, with no cracks or markings. At times, it even gave the illusion of being a mirror.

They each examined and felt along the surface. Before they knew it, night had fallen.

The moon rose high overhead.

Then, a faint, translucent entrance slowly appeared.

Joe reached out and touched it. "There's wind coming from inside!"

Andrew made a quick decision. "I'll go first and check it out."

Excited and alert, the four of them immediately stepped inside.
