What's going on?

Roland suddenly had a bad premonition.

The study is spotless, and the decoration of all utensils is placed just right. But Roland just thinks it's weird.

Not only that, but there seemed to be an uncomfortable aura in this room, somewhat familiar and very intense.

Roland walked in the direction of his desk, only to notice that the aura seemed to become a little stronger. Faintly, the closer you get to the bookshelf at the back, the more obvious the breath becomes. It seems that that weird aura is overflowing from there.

Roland fumbled carefully with the bookshelf. The placement of the ornaments on the bookshelf is terrible, and if you touch it carefully, you will find that it is the switch of the dark room.

Roland carefully twisted a silver candlestick on the left. The bookshelves slowly turned, revealing a narrow passageway. For a while, that kind of breath rushed to his face, directly impacting Roland's nerves, making him feel extremely hot and uncomfortable.

In the depths of the passage, there were faint lights.

It was not uncommon for the prince's mansion to have secret passages, so Roland didn't find it new. So after a little pause, Roland quickly closed the door of the dark passage and began to walk into the dark passage.

The road is dark and narrow, allowing only one person to pass through. Roland groped as he moved forward, and he didn't know if it was because of the stuffiness and lack of ventilation in the dark tunnel, he actually started to sweat.

It's the first time I've done such a thing as an assassination, and I didn't expect to be nervous. Roland secretly laughed at his uncalmness, and reconfirmed whether the sword in his hand was smooth.

A small room suddenly appeared in front of him, and then the road became two. Roland sensed that the breath was coming from the left, so he followed his instinct to the left, then encountered a fork in the road, and walked again...... After making five or six choices, a stone gate finally appeared in front of me.

The road is still narrow, and the stone gate is carved with strange and strange magic circles, which Roland has never seen before, and it should not belong to the human magic system.

But the layout rules of the magic circle made Roland feel a little familiar, why is this?

Roland tried to push the door open, but found that the stone door was heavy and unmoving. Roland was surprised, and then tried to activate the strange circle on the door. Roland slowly poured mana into the groove of the circle until it was filled, and then the door slowly opened.

A wave of heat hit, accompanied by a fishy smell. Roland struggled to calm down so that he would not faint from being disgusted. He also somewhat understood what Archimedes said that only he could do about it.

Ordinary mages can only draw out their own strength through the magic circle with the existing spell system, so when they face the unfamiliar magic circle on the stone gate, they will naturally become helpless and unable to open it.

Roland, on the other hand, is different. The mana in his body was originally naturally gushing out, and he didn't need the guidance of the magic circle. Therefore, Roland's power does not come from the circle itself, but can actively stimulate the effect of the circle.

From time to time, there were bursts of heat in the stone gate.

With the heat wave, Roland could smell a fishy smell, which gave Roland a very bad premonition. What kind of thing is put in a prince's secret room that emits such a foul smell?

Roland poked his head into the stone door and found that there seemed to be a lot of space inside.

There was a cacophony in his ears. But because the sound source is a little far away, Roland can't tell what it is for the time being.

Roland cautiously walked behind the stone door.

The strange smell and foul smell are getting heavier and heavier. The sound in Roland's ears became clearer and clearer, and he seemed to be able to vaguely hear what it was.

Finally, Roland came to a hidden door.

The façade looks a little old, with a slight dark red patch on it.

Through the crack in the door, Roland could see that there was light seeping out inside, and the faint yellow light and shadow were constantly beating, a little hideous and terrifying.

Roland gently pushed the door open, then quickly stepped sideways. But he was stunned by what he saw!

The pungent smell of blood was coming to his face, which was stimulating Roland's nerves all the time. In front of him was a dark chamber with dimly lit lights.

There were twenty or thirty human corpses hanging from the top! Some have no heads, others have only flesh and bones, and no outer skin. The ground is full of mutilated limbs, which is simply shocking!

Although Roland had seen a similar scene in the secret passage of the palace at the beginning, he still couldn't digest the scene in front of him well, because it was really cruel!

Roland felt that the noisy sound in his ears began to gradually become clear, it was the choking and wailing of human beings!

Roland couldn't bear to look at any more scenes like this, so he turned his head sideways and continued to walk towards the inner room.

When Roland came to the inner room, he was once again shocked by the scene in front of him!

The situation in the inner room is not much better than the outside, or it can be said to be worse.

It's a cell lined up in a long corridor, and it's bloody!

The cells on either side were filled with flesh and blood, most of them haggard, most of them invisible. Some had their eyes gouged out, some had their tongues cut out, and many more had lost their hands and feet, and could only crawl on the ground, wailing incessantly!

What the hell does Laner want to do!

Roland felt extremely uncomfortable in his heart, and the blood in his eyes seemed to shake his will. Roland's resentment towards Laner in his heart also increased a little unconsciously.

Even if it's a prisoner, Lanll can't treat them like that!

"Please! Kill me...... Kill me! A prisoner with still able to move his fingers reached out from the cage and grabbed Roland's ankle with a trembling hand. His eyes were bloodshot and his eyes were full of despair!

Roland's mind seemed to sober up again. He looked at the prisoner's figureless body, and his fingers began to tremble. Roland took a deep breath, then pulled out his dagger from behind him, closed his eyes, and slashed at the prisoner's head!

"Thank you......" he spat out the last two words, his expression frozen in the last moment of his smile.

The emotions in Roland's heart are becoming more and more obvious. He tried to remind himself that he must hold back. Then Roland rolled sideways into the shadows and continued to walk quickly inside. Roland's mood suddenly became firm from the entanglement and hesitation at the beginning. Not to mention anything else, with Lan'er's inhumane behavior now, he deserves to die!

Although Roland didn't know what kind of mistakes these people had committed, he knew that if he left Lan'er and made him king, there would only be one more disgusting tyrant in this world!

Finally, Roland turned to a room at the end. He hid in the shadows, silently observing his surroundings. The strange and familiar aura grew stronger.

From here, the room began to be clean and gorgeous again, and the surroundings were neat and tidy, which should be where Laner was. Roland vaguely heard someone talking in the side room, so he carefully moved to the side of the door to inquire about the situation.

This stone chamber is not complicated, but the area is not small. Stone screens and curtains are set up on all sides to make it difficult to see inside. A figure faintly emerged from the gauze tent, and at the same time, Lan'er's voice was clearly heard.

"You must help me this time! I'm at my point! Lan's voice came from the inner room.

Roland was stunned when he heard this: Is there a second person here? Otherwise, who is Lan'er talking to?

"You lied to me! You've been lying to me all along! Isn't it enough that I have brought so many people as sacrifices for you? I'll give you as much as you want, as long as I become a king, I can give you as much as you want......" Lan'er's voice trembled from behind the gauze tent, and he could hear that he was very excited now!

Then Roland saw Lan'er retreat step by step, and at the same time get closer and closer to him, and finally leaned against the gauze tent!

Now is the time!
