Da Fei climbed along the ceiling to reach the entrance leading to the lower underground levels. The door at the entrance was tightly shut, guarded heavily by sentinels. In this situation, he would probably need to turn into a fly to get through. Ultimately, disguise was still necessary; it all depended on whether he could blend in.
Da Fei began observing intently from the ceiling. He saw the gatekeeping sentinels question everyone entering the lower levels before opening the door to let them in, which made Da Fei feel quite frustrated.
"Where to?" "What are you doing?" "Looking for whom?" Although they were simple questions, Da Fei wasn't sure he could answer them all. Especially with the dwarfs' way of speaking—who knows if he'd give himself away the moment he opened his mouth? After all, the task hint required him to avoid the sentinels as much as possible.
Just then, a patrol team passed beneath him, seemingly heading to the next level.
