They walked through grey corridors and into silent and empty dungeon-like halls. Just when Saul opened his mouth to ask where they were going, the man stopped, turned, and pulled out a key. He put it into a small keyhole in what looked like more of the stone wall. He slid the concealed door into the crack of the wall and stepped inside a dimly lit room that smelled like fresh soil.
