Inside the stone-built secret chamber.
A middle-aged Snake-man clad in a red robe opened his eyes and looked towards the door.
Thump, thump!
The sound of footsteps and knocking at the door only then rose, with a familiar voice coming through.
"City Lord, people from the Snake God Temple have arrived."
"Oh?"
His vertical pupil flashed, the middle-aged Snake-man somewhat surprised.
As he rose to his feet, it could be seen that not just his face, but his entire body was covered in red scales.
Furthermore, behind him.
There was even a thick red snake tail.
If not for some traces of skin shedding around his eyebrows and eyes, it would be hard to determine his age.
"Don't they usually prefer to come a couple of days late?"
"Why have they shown up early this time?"
He walked to the doorway and asked.
The person who came was a Half-snake youth with some human traits, who immediately indicated his ignorance upon hearing the question.
"Alright, lead the way."
