"But why are there undead here?" I asked, incredible. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

"Do you remember the key you showed me?" Rand continued: "I remember now that my father had the same key, but my father's one was set with rubies, and that key was set with sapphires. I heard my father tell me that the key was made by Laurie back then, and there were two of them, one in Laurie's own hand, and then passed down in the hands of each generation of monarchs. And the other one," he paused, and then continued, "the one we just saw was the one we saw, but unfortunately we didn't bring it out." It is said that it was originally given to Laury's most trusted subordinate and close friend at the time, and a minister named Liszt fought with him. But somehow, not long after Laurie ascended the throne, that Liszt disappeared. ”

"So you say, could that undead just now be Liszt?"

"Impossible! Laurie and Liszt grew up together, they are best friends, and they are friends in life and death, just like you and me. But look at the undead just now, he kept reading Laurie's name in his mouth, and he could only feel his resentment and hatred for Laurie, where is this like a person who has been with him for most of his life? How could such a person be Liszt? Rand's tone was a little fluctuating, a little different from his usual appearance, and he didn't seem to be very confident in what he had just said.

"But no one knows how Liszt disappeared," I felt a little dry in my throat and a little hoarse, "after all, we don't know what happened at that time, not to mention that lovers have turned against each other." And the two of us might ...... one day."

"Rosa, did you lose too much blood and get dizzy? How did you start talking nonsense? Rand interrupted, though still gentle, but I could tell from his eyes that he was a little upset.

I laughed a little: "I'm just assuming ......"

"No ifs!" Rant's tone hardened a little, and then immediately softened: "Rosa, what's wrong with you today?" Always cranky, this is not like your usual you! ”

Not like me?

I reacted a little: yes, I also feel that I am a little abnormal today, am I originally so sentimental people?

Apparently not.

So what's wrong with me today?

I smiled, "Sorry, I'm just a little tired." ”

After that, neither of us spoke, just walked slowly. Because I was injured in the back, it hurt my bones, and my whole back couldn't move, so Rand could only walk very slowly with me, but fortunately the passage was getting brighter, and I could feel some wind blowing, and I was almost at the end.

For some reason, the closer we got to the exit, the hotter we felt, and the light coming in from outside was dimmer and redder than natural light.

I was sweating profusely, and the sweat was painful, itchy, and uncomfortable when it ran into the wound. Rand was worried that I wouldn't be able to hold it up, so he stopped, and I shook my head at him and motioned to continue. Finally, we came to the exit, and I was almost stunned by the heat and the stench, and the scene in front of me was something we will never forget.

In front of me was a huge pit, bottomless, and there seemed to be a faint red light in the pit, and only a small path stretched crookedly on the edge of the pit into the distance. A heat wave came from the bottom of the pit, as if it was about to roast people. And on the edge of the pit near above, there are countless stones with sharp thorns gathered together one after another, which seem to be a faint red, and at first glance look like delicate flowers.

But if you look closely at those stone flowers, you will feel nauseous and want to vomit. On those stone pillars, there were people pierced with them, and they were human corpses! The blood flowed down the stone pillars, which made the stone pillars take on that dark red color, the corpses on the stone pillars were old and new, the old ones had been dried or turned into white bones by the heat from the bottom of the cave, and some of the fresh corpses were still bleeding, and the stench was emitted by these corpses. It seems that the real reason why this part of the land is encircled by the royal family is this!

The two of us were so disgusted that we almost threw up. I resisted the nausea in my heart, looked around, and noticed that there were a lot of corpses on one side of the pit. I looked over there and saw a hole in the side wall above that side, and it looked like the bodies had fallen from there.

I turned my head around and asked Randt, "Why haven't you mentioned that there is still this way of disposing of corpses in the palace?" ”

Rand covered his mouth with his hand, frowned, and said, "Don't talk nonsense! Judging by the length of the tunnel, this is long outside the boundaries of the palace. Besides, if you look at the way these corpses are dressed, it's obviously the style of the fighting arena, and this is supposed to be the prisoners who died in the fight. Besides, where did so many corpses come from in the palace? ”

This explanation seems to make sense. Except for war, only bloody places like the fighting arena can have so many corpses. I've finally figured out why the arena was built on the highest part of the capital, so that the corpses could fall here.

Another wave of heat blew from the bottom of the cave, and the accompanying stench was suffocating, and gradually, I felt a little unbearable. Finally lost consciousness.

－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－

When I woke up, I found myself in my room at 13 Duchy Road.

I just felt a terrible pain all over my body - especially in my right hand, and there was a burning sensation. I opened my eyes and looked in the direction of my right hand, only to see that Gray had untied the bandage that had been tied to my hand, and was holding my hand and not knowing what to put on it. I slapped his hand away, only to feel another tingling pain, all over the body, not just in the right hand.

Seeing this, he glared at me: "You deserve it!" Then he continued to grab my hand and put a new bandage around it, much rougher than before.

I couldn't stand the pain: "You're light!" ”

"Do you know how heavy it is? It's good that I didn't burn my nails this time, so what else do you think? "When the bandage was done, he threw my hand on the bed.

"How did I get here? What about the others? Why are you the only one? I asked, trying to sit up, only to find that my back hurt.

"Rand carried you back, he has something to do to go to the academy now, and the Barrow you brought back last time, Xiao Mi arranged for him to raise horses in the mansion," Gray helped me sit up, poured another glass of water and handed it to me: "When you were asleep, Alexander, they and Red Luo all came to see you." By the way, and your favorite Aonira, who also came to see you, and held your hand and said a lot of things! ”

I almost didn't squirt out a mouthful of water, almost choked: "What are you talking about! "My back started hurting again.

"You think you know how to read words? Although you usually hide it well, my eyes are not covered! Last time I was in the Academy, I could tell at a glance that you were interested in that little girl of Onira. Gray crossed Erlang's legs and said a little proudly: "For the sake of your good treatment of me, I won't rob this chick from you!" But that kid at Rand also seems to be a little interesting to Onira, I advise you to make a move as soon as possible......"

I didn't want to talk to him for a moment.

Seeing me like this, Gray instantly changed his serious expression and said, "Forget it, let's talk about something serious." The test results for that drug that was on the airship last time are out. ”

"What's that?"

"It's a special drug, and taking it can make people delirious and go crazy."

Madness? Why didn't they kill Rand and just want him to go crazy? If it's for revenge, wouldn't it be more convenient to kill Rand directly? But if not, then for what? I can't figure it out.

Gray glanced at me and said, "The wound on your back is a little hurt to the bone, and it won't get better for a while, so let's lie down well, and don't always think about something to make a mess for yourself." With that, he pushed me down on the bed and covered me with two thick quilts before leaving.

I don't know if it was because Gray's two quilts were too heavy, I slept very unsteadily, and because my back and right hand could not move at will, I felt even more uncomfortable, and after a while, I felt tightness in my chest. The feeling was similar and different from what it felt in a darkroom, only a lot mild.

It turned out that everything Catherine said was true.

Previously, the heart did not feel because Rand had not been in a life-threatening danger.

I still remember the feeling of my heart bursting when Rand was in distress.

If Rand had died at that time, maybe my heart would have really burst out, and I still have palpitations when I think about it now, what a cruel woman! And this also means that in the future, whenever I encounter a dangerous situation, I must jump out desperately, and protect Rand without self-awareness, like a tool, never at peace. And the days after this are destined to not be peaceful. I don't know how long I can last, so I'm just waiting to be played to death by Catherine?

Thinking of this, I felt a resentment in my heart, very uncomfortable, uncomfortable, and nowhere to vent.
