Chapter Ten
The Secrets Revealer Introduced Himself
Pete was now convinced in his heart that there must be a possibility of escaping the land of gold. If a few wealthy and powerful men in the world had access to the land due to their affiliation with the land gods, then there must be a safe portal that could lead to the outside walls of the land of gold. The arrow markings, in red, blue, black, green, or yellow, indicated the path to the next chamber or passage. Pete believed that by following the blue, green, or yellow arrows, he and his sister Jenny could escape the land of gold.
After waking up in the golden chamber, Pete found Jenny still in bed, feeling very sick. He went to the opposite room to greet the secret revealer, whose name was Pauli. Pete shared Jenny's health condition with Pauli, who suggested they visit the garden of herbs for medicine. They quickly made their way to the garden, where Pauli identified the right herbs for Jenny's healing.
Using a teleporting machine in the garden, Pauli and Pete returned to Jenny's side with the medicine. Pauli prepared the herbs, and Jenny soon felt better after taking them. Pauli then suggested they explore more of the land of gold once Jenny was fully recovered.
Meanwhile, in Zinatano city, rumors spread about Mr. Tolen's death, with some speculating about a family curse. Mrs. Tolen, with her daughter Mary, worked in the garden and later hung framed photos of Mary's siblings on the wall. Mary discovered she had siblings who went missing twelve years ago, leading to an emotional conversation with her mother about their disappearance.
As Mary learned the truth about her missing siblings, she and Mrs. Tolen shared a heartfelt moment of grief and reflection. The Tolen family's tragic history weighed heavily on them, but they found solace in coming together and facing their past.
