"How dare you!" The voice growled again. It sounded like the person was gritting their teeth.
Adrian took a step back as he looked at the pillar, puzzled and wary.
[So there indeed was a security measure.]
Evelyn spoke with a sigh. Then with a slight nervousness in her tone, she whispered again.
[Adrian, that's the voice of Duke Versicos. The only good news for you is that he isn't here. Rather a part of his consciousness keeps this pillar secured.]
"How do you know it's his voice?" Adrian muttered lightly, afraid the pillar would hear his words.
[ That shouldn't be your worry at this moment. As I said before, you shall get to know things the people of Zenim have no idea of. ]
Before Adrian could reply anything, the voice came back from the iron pillar.
"You tried melting the pillar itself without harming any of the materials within huh? You seem to have a great deal of mastery over your arts." The voice almost sounded impressed.
