"But why are there undead here?" asked Roland, incredulous.

"Do you remember the key you showed me just now?" said Randt, "I remember now, that my father had the same key, but my father's one was inlaid with rubies, and the key you showed me was inlaid with sapphires." I heard my father tell me that the key was made by my ancestor Laurie. There were two in all, one in Laurie's own hands, and then passed down in the hands of each generation of monarchs. And the other one," Randt paused, and then said, "the sapphire we just saw." It is said that it was originally given to Lowry's most trusted subordinate and best friend at the time, and a minister named Harry fought with him. But somehow, not long after Laurie took the throne, that Harry disappeared. ”

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

"No way! Laurie and Harry grew up together, best friends, and friends of 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 Laury, where did this look like a person who had been with him for most of his life? How could such a person be Harry?" 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 Harry disappeared," Roland felt his throat a little dry, and his voice was 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."

"Roland, have you lost too much blood and are dizzy, why did you start talking nonsense?" Rand interrupted Roland's words, although his tone was still very gentle, but from his eyes, Roland could tell that he was already a little displeased.

Roland gave a rare smile: "I'm just assuming ......"

"No assumptions!" Rand's tone hardened a little, and then immediately softened, "What's wrong with you today?

Not like your usual self?

Roland was slightly stunned, and then reacted a little: Is it because he saw Catherine again, which brought back those bad memories?

Roland smiled again: "I'm sorry, I'm just a little tired. ”

After that, neither of them spoke, but walked slowly.

Because Roland's back was injured and his bones were broken, and his whole back couldn't move, Rand could only walk very slowly with him. But fortunately, the passage gradually brightened, and I could feel some wind blowing, and it was almost at the end.

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

Roland was sweating profusely, and the sweat was painful, itchy, and uncomfortable when it ran into the wound. Rand was worried that he would not be able to hold it up, so he stopped.

Roland shook his head at him and motioned to continue. Finally, they came to the exit, but they were almost stunned by the heat wave and the stench on their faces, and the scene in front of them was something they will never forget!

In front of me was a huge pit, bottomless, and there seemed to be a faint red light shining through the pit, 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. The blood flowed down the pillars to make the pillars take on that dark red color, and the corpses on the pillars were old and new, and some of the old ones had been dried or turned into bones by the heat from the bottom of the cave, and some of the fresh corpses were still bleeding, and the stench was emitted from these corpses. It seems that the real reason why this part of the land is encircled by the royal family is this!

Roland and Rand were so disgusted that they almost threw up.

Roland held back the nausea in his heart and looked around. As a result, he found that the number of corpses on one side of the pit seemed to be unusually large. Roland looked closely at that side, and found a hole in the side wall above it. Looks like the bodies must have fallen from there.

Roland turned his head away and asked Rand, "Why haven't you mentioned it, there is still this way of disposing of corpses in the palace?"

Rand covered his nose with his hand and frowned, "Don't talk nonsense! Judging by the length of the tunnel, this place is long out of the palace." Besides, if you look at the way these corpses are dressed, it's obviously the style of the arena, which 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, it is only in a bloody place like the fighting arena that there are so many corpses. And Roland also found that near the corpse pile, there were several corpses of flame lizards that had been torn beyond recognition. It seems that this is the day when the Arena exhibited the Behemoth, those flame lizards that were torn apart by the War Behemoth!

Roland finally figured out why the arena was built on the highest ground in Two Moon City, so that those corpses could fall here smoothly!

Another wave of heat blew from the bottom of the cave, and the accompanying stench was suffocating. Gradually, Roland felt that he could not support himself, and finally, he finally lost consciousness......
