The Scale (4)

Normally, every time a trade at the scale failed, the rule was that the wall would move toward the scale.

But the moment the lock on the firmly sealed trap door opened.

I could see the wall very slowly beginning to push toward us.

I realized that the red words TRAP and DANGER written on the wall meant that the wall itself, not the door, was the trap.

I considered opening the door just like that, but.

“Haaah.. Mr. Elf.”

“Hmm?”

“..There is a good chance that what's beyond this is the exit.”...
