Max reviewed the Five Knots attempt with Anna the following morning.
The viewing screen showed the burial passage after the instance reset. The sentinels had returned to their alcoves, and the preparation-room guardian once again stood beside the bell rope.
Max had built the passage as an old burial road connecting the cemetery to the fortress crypt. It provided a shorter way through the outer wall, not a safe one.

"They crossed the outer wall faster than Matthew's corpse wagon attempt."
"They also found the inner gate." Max said.
"With three injured party members, almost no mana, and an alarm behind them."
Quin stood beside the screen. "The tunnel did its job. It gave them a shorter road. They wasted what the road saved. Maybe next time they can make it through without triggering the alarm."
