Lumian had briefly informed Ryan and the others about the black thorn symbol on Guillaume Bénet's chest, "Inevitability" in the hidden entity's honorific, gray amber, tulips, cloves, and deer musk for the corresponding domain. He claimed the source was the padre, and it had nothing to do with him.
Hearing this, Leah, Ryan, and Valentine immediately grew alert with guesses.
"The sacrificial site?" Ryan muttered.
As he spoke, all looked to the basement.
With dim light trickling down the stairs, they could barely see inside.
The space under the cathedral was bigger than Lumian's whole first floor. The floor was grayish-white stone slabs, and it looked pitch black due to the lack of light. In the middle stood a stone platform half a man's height.
The top of the stone platform caved in slightly, as if hiding something, but nobody could see clearly.
