Chapter 175: The End
Without the slightest hesitation, Roland rushed forward with an arrow, and before Lan'er could react, he grabbed his neck and cut the artery in Lan'er's neck with that short knife as Ellis had told him before!
The blood spurted out in a straight line, forming a beautiful arc on the gauze tent, and Roland's face was splashed with a little warmth.
As soon as Roland's hand was released, Laner's body fell straight to the ground, his two eyes widened, looking directly at Roland, as if telling how dead he was!
Roland didn't want to look at him, but his body had already rushed into the veil.
Since there are other people here, then Roland can only do nothing! Anyway, it won't be a good thing to collude with Lan'er and be embarrassed!
Roland looked around the stone chamber and tried to find the figure of the third person, but found that it was empty! And Roland can also be sure that no one left in the process!
What's going on?
Roland took a closer look at his surroundings and checked the decorations. He found that there were no other secret doors in the dark room that could get out, and he couldn't help but think: Is it really that he is too careful?
Roland thought back to what Laner had just said, and found that it was indeed only his voice. Maybe just now, it was really Lan'er who was talking to himself, right?
Lan'er's blood seeped down the carpet.
Roland looked down at the ground, only to find a two-meter-wide circle on the ground. The circle was black, with intricate shapes and distorted text, similar to the previous pattern on the stone door.
It's a demonic summoning array!
It's a demon again!
Roland knew that Lan'er had always been suspicious and fearful, and he wanted to become a king, so he would never give away his soul at will. But all this in front of him is enough to prove that Lan'er has indeed colluded with the demon!
Is the throne really that important? Isn't the lesson of Lear twenty years ago in the royal family heavy enough!
Lanl is afraid of death, so he won't give his soul. But to make a deal with the devil, you have to pay a price. Then those corpses outside should be the victims of Lan'er's deal with the demons. And those prisoners with mutilated bodies, their eyes, tongues, hands and feet, I am afraid that they were also sacrificed as part of the sacrifice by Lan'er, right?
Roland only felt a chill behind him: how could anyone be so cruel? Is it just for the sake of one's own desires that one can hurt others at will?
Looks like I'm right, Ran's damned, really damned!
Roland wiped the blood from his face, then took a deep breath to free himself from his anger: it was far from over.
Although it was a bit cruel for Rand to lose his father and brother at the same time, Roland at least kept the dignity of the Wang family. No one will know what the prince Lan'er has done.
Roland quietly left the Chamber of Secrets and Lan's mansion and returned to the back streets.
Roland's body was walking mechanically on the road, but his thoughts seemed to be no longer in him. Roland's body seemed to be collapsed, with relief and emptiness.
Roland glanced down at his hand and saw that it was shaking so badly that he couldn't control it. Roland's emotions have obviously not yet detached from the tension just now!
The clock in the city's towers began to ring the time. It's time, it's time to go back. Roland still has something to do.
Roland sneaked back to his room and changed into his morning outfit to make himself look as normal as possible. At this time, the groom also came to the door in a carriage.
It seems that Rand and they have also returned.
Roland looked at his uncontrollable trembling hands, and became a little nervous: what if he was seen?
As soon as Gray came back, he rushed to Roland's room, and he changed back to his original appearance in a flash, but his tone was a little eager: "I have something to tell you......" But before he could finish speaking, Gray swallowed the words again. When Roland looked up, he found that Rand had appeared at the door of the room at some point!
Roland was stunned for a moment, and his heart beat a little: why is he standing here? Did he find something?
Roland noticed that Lanter's slender fingers were somehow slowly beginning to close, and the expression on his face was a little subtle.
"Has Gray been in your room all the time? When did you get on top of that? Rand squeezed out a smile on his face and said this gently. But Roland could see from Rand's eyes that he was smiling very hard now.
Roland's heart felt a little sad. In the past, Rand would always tell him very bluntly what he had in mind, instead of deliberately saying subtle things like now.
Roland suddenly felt a trace of guilt in his heart, and he couldn't speak for a while, and the scene became a little silent.
Rand said again: "Roland, are you free later...... I want to talk to you about it, there's been so much going on lately. ”
Roland looked at him, and his heartbeat began to speed up somehow, but Roland still tried to maintain a calm state on his face: "...... Good. ”
It was a somewhat oppressive dinner.
After Xiaomi's dishes were served, several people at the table didn't talk much.
Except for Gray who said a few words without a match, and Rand who took a few words casually, there was silence.
Roland tried his best not to shake his hand, and he carefully stirred the soup in the bowl with the spoon in his hand.
Rand looked at Roland's somewhat inflexible hand, and his expression was slightly desolate. Rand suddenly spoke, slowly spitting out a few words: "Roland, do you know? Today my second brother, Laner, is dead. ”
Roland felt a "pimple" in his heart, and didn't dare to look up at Rand's eyes: "Really?" It's really unfortunate......"
"Unfortunately...... Tell me, where have you been today? Rand looked up at Roland with a slight waver in his eyes.
Roland squeezed out a smile in embarrassment: "What's the matter, Rand?" Haven't I been with you all the time today? ”
"Tell me, then, what did she say to me when I met Ellis?" Rand said lightly, and his body began to slowly approach Roland.
He knew!
Roland suddenly understood the intention of Rand to suddenly appear at the door of his room after returning today, and he did this so that Roland would not have time to communicate with Gray about the details of today's stay in the palace!
Roland knew that he couldn't hide it anymore, so he had to smile bitterly and shake his head: "I can't answer your question." ”
"Someone saw you passing through the back street of Lan's mansion today, and you still have blood stains on your body......" Rand lowered his voice, and his expression became painful: "You...... Why, exactly? ”
Randt's voice trembled with anger, and Roland could feel his anger.
But Roland couldn't tell him why. So at this time, Roland's heart was full of guilt. Roland didn't dare to look at Rand, but whispered, "I just hope to protect you......"
"Protect me...... Is it? Rand turned his head away from Roland, and his voice began to become softer: "Roland, you say...... If you and my mother hadn't made that vow, would you still be by my side and protect me as you are now? ”
Rand's voice was not loud, but it exploded in Roland's heart like thunder!
He knew everything!
