Chapter 130. Darkness is dawning!
Katiran continued down the dark staircase that swirled, and the candles lit in the dungeon did not dispel the darkness of the night, but rather added a cold and eerie aura to the damp and bloody land. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
The fishy smell in the air continued to penetrate his nostrils, which made Catilan, who had been accustomed to the aristocratic life since childhood, obviously uncomfortable, but when he thought that this time it was the order of the new Emperor Fordes himself, he had to endure the discomfort in his heart.
It is the largest dungeon in the palace and the most heavily guarded, with hundreds of criminals housed all year round.
The dungeon is built in the center of the Starfall Lake, and the seemingly clear water of the lake is home to all kinds of fierce water creatures, and any prisoner who wants to escape, even if he can escape the heavy guards in the dungeon, has no way to do anything about this starfall lake that is isolated from the outside passage.
In the nearly 100 years since the dungeon was built, it is not that no one has successfully escaped from it, but there is no way to face the starfall lake outside.
A few daring fugitives tried to cross the lake, but in the end, they were reduced to the food of the countless beasts inside, and they could only let out a hysterical roar before falling into an eternal slumber.
The dungeon has three floors, and the walls around it are all made of solid granite. It was the first time Katiran had come to such a place, he had never seen such shady things as a nobleman, but now, for the sake of his family's survival, he had to start touching them.
The further down you go, the narrower the passage, the less area the dungeon occupies, and the smaller the number of cells inside.
Unlike the prisoners on the first and second floors, the third floor was filled with death row inmates, whose fate was sealed from the moment they entered the cell.
And the purpose of his trip is these death row prisoners.
The later he went, the stronger the foul smell in the cell became, and no matter how much he tried to keep his mouth and nose shut, it would be useless.
There are only about 30 cells on the third floor, but at the moment there are only about 20 cells where death row inmates are held.
Xu already knew his fate, and these guys were staring blank and staring like corpses in their cells.
"Take these guys away."
After glancing at these guys a few times, Katiran said impatiently, he didn't want to waste any time on these dead people, although he didn't know what His Majesty wanted these death row prisoners to do, but now it was obviously a great opportunity for their family to cut ties with the old King Frie Samochi and gain the trust of His Majesty the new Emperor Fudes.
"Yes, Viscount Catiran."
A small group of knights who followed him answered in unison, and then led the condemned prisoner out of his prison with steady steps.
"Be careful."
Although these death row inmates all have heavy shackles on their hands and feet, it is better to be careful when dealing with these guys.
"Catiran, you traitor!"
In the hoarse and suppressed voice, there was a monstrous rage that seemed to burn down the entire gloomy dungeon.
"Tsk, isn't this Count Landry? Weren't you a former minister of His Majesty abroad, but now you are a prisoner on death row? β
Looking at one of the death row inmates, Katilan's slightly exaggerated voice rang out.
The other man was wearing only a single coat, his hair and beard were all messy, and he didn't know how much dirt he had stained, but compared to the rest of the prisoners who seemed lifeless, he seemed much more energetic.
Most of the retainers under Frey Samochi, with the exception of the one or two who narrowly escaped, were killed on the spot during the bloody night, except for the other party, who was imprisoned here along with the condemned prisoners.
"Damn traitor, if you hadn't ordered your soldiers to secretly open the gates of the royal capital and let those rebels in, how could we have lost to them."
"Landry, you are wrong, whether I defect or not, the outcome of this war is beyond doubt, at most it is only a matter of time."
With a slightly deep and ethereal voice, Katilan's dark eyes couldn't help but have a look of sarcasm.
"But right now, it's useless to say anything, take it all."
**********
In a secret basement of the palace, Fordes was holding a long wooden table with his hands, his brow furrowed slightly, as if he was thinking about something.
Behind the other party, four statue-like "Knights of Judgment" stood silently, their swords standing on the ground like arrow towers, resisting all possible dangers.
In the entire basement, only Landry was the only one who was curling frantically curling in the basement, and the other death row inmates were all huddled in the corners one by one, their bodies trembling uncontrollably.
In the face of the other party's curses, Fordes was indifferent, and as for the four "Judgment Knights" behind him, they didn't seem to hear anything.
But at this moment, the originally bright candlelight suddenly dimmed as if it had been suppressed by something.
It's just a little frightening that under the faint candlelight, you can faintly see that Forders is reflected next to the phantom on the ground, and I don't know when, there is another phantom!
"Someone has sent you, you can start."
Noticing this scene, instead of showing a hint of panic on his face, Fordes was as natural as if he was chatting with a friend.
"Assert ......"
As Fordes' voice rang out, hoarse and manic laughter rang out unbridled in the chamber.
"Bangββ, bangββ, bang-"
It was as if another thousand pounds of weight was constantly smashing on the ground, and bursts of dense and thorough sounds kept ringing.
Looking at the figure in front of him, who was completely beyond his knowledge, Landry forgot to curse for a moment.
In the black mist that drifted from nowhere, the silhouette of a humanoid figure loomed, and the faintly visible face was as hideous and terrifying as the devil.
"Monster! Monster! β
Landry had always thought that he was not even afraid of death, and naturally there was nothing to fear, but after seeing this figure, the tide of fear was like air, drilling into his body all the time.
"Feast, feast...... It's about to begin! β
With the light of those blood-colored pupils, an unimaginably huge fear also enveloped all the death row inmates.
