Blake, who was in the lead, quickly ordered the Henckles’ disciples to light up their pre-prepared torches.
However, just as he was about to light his torch, candles on both sides of the tunnel began to burn. The entire tunnel was instantly awash in light, but the sudden appearance of the two rows of red pillar candles made everything seem all the more bizarre.
Naturally, that startled quite a few people. “There’s no need to panic, Mr. Gordon,” Blake reassured. “Oxygen entered the tomb when we opened it, and it’s merely the reaction with phosphorous in the air that ignited the candles.”
Warren nodded and turned to the group of people behind him. “Don’t panic, everyone. Try to keep up. There are death traps everywhere, so please watch yourselves!”
After saying that, Warren continued to advance into the tomb with Blake. Now that there was light in the tunnel, they could all finally pick up the pace.
