At this moment, Roland heard slow footsteps begin to come from the corridor not far away, and at the same time it became clearer and closer.

In a short time, the door to the cell's chamber was slowly opened.

Roland saw a familiar figure appear in front of him. Old, rickety and still on crutches. Yes, the person who came was the prime minister who had been in the city of Two Moons recently-Archimedes.

Roland saw that it was Archimedes, and then laughed mockingly: "Hehe, Prime Minister, today is the coronation of the new king, you, the biggest celebrity in front of the king, why don't you go to the scene of the ceremony, but are interested in coming to see me, a death row prisoner with heinous crimes?" ”

Archimedes, supported by his attendants, sat down on the ground on the other side of the iron prison tremblingly, so that he could be closer to Roland. Then he said with great interest: "Looking at your appearance, it seems that you are not surprised at all by my arrival? ”

Roland straightened the straw beside him a little, and then lay down on it all at once, only to feel a little cold on his back. Then Roland casually said to Archimedes: "Your plan has been achieved, are you satisfied now?" Hehe...... I really didn't expect that I would have been toyed with by you a long time ago. It's a pity that I found out too late! ”

"Huh...... Is it? Tell me, then, what did I plan? Archimedes looked down at Roland condescendingly, with a hint of cunning in his eyes.

Roland yawned and said a little carelessly: "I finally know now that your initial goal was Rand!" You never thought of assisting other princes. The knife you gave me when you first found me and asked me to assassinate the second prince Lan'er was specially remade according to my movement habits, and the blade was thin and small, so that I could not let him die with one blow, but would leave him with one last respite! You know that Lan'er has always been narrow-minded, and he will definitely find a backpad when he dies, and he will definitely make a last stand. And what he has in mind is nothing more than the throne. Since he couldn't get it himself, he wouldn't let his brothers get it...... It's just that the demon's contract pays attention to equivalent exchange, and he can't give much to the demon as a dying person, so in the end, he just dragged a few of them into Castlevania Ivanger and couldn't kill them...... Unfortunately, I found out too late. I can't imagine that I will not be able to escape your calculations until I die. ”

As he spoke, a trace of desolation flashed in Roland's heart. Because there are so many bizarre twists and turns that have happened these days, neither Roland nor Rand Zuize has gained anything, but both have paid an extremely painful price!

Unexpectedly, the final winner would be this old man who was inconspicuous at the beginning!

Archimedes smiled contemptuously: "You are right, but you still say some things wrong. I didn't take Rand seriously until you appeared in front of me. When I sent someone to spy on you, I took care of him by the way. As a result, I found that he has a kind personality and no big ambitions, so he is the most suitable to be a puppet. ”

Then, Archimedes changed his sinister expression and continued: "But I understand that although he is amiable, you are not a fuel-efficient lamp. If he stays with you after his coronation, with the relationship between the two of you, I'm afraid he won't listen to me honestly anymore. So I'm going to use a little trick to ruin your relationship a little bit...... Tell him some of your little secrets. Judging from the results, your friendship from childhood to adulthood is nothing more than that. Now you can finally die in peace, Rand's side...... Hehe, although the result was different from what I expected, I didn't expect him to change his mind and make a contract with the demon...... But that's just the right thing to do in my hands. So you see, although he is in power now, and he has the help of demons, he still has to listen to my ...... obediently."

Roland listened to Archimedes' narration expressionlessly, but his heart tingled like blood.

It turned out that all the efforts Roland had made these days were nothing more than getting deeper and deeper step by step in the chess game calculated by others, and finally sent himself to a dead end, not to mention that the harmful Rand became what he is now.

"Hehe......" Roland laughed under his breath, and began to feel sorry for himself, he had always been conceited that he was one of the few people who understood in this prosperous and hypocritical world, but he did not expect that he was actually the one who was deeply trapped in it.

But what's the use of mentioning it now?

The bell rings in the middle of the night, heralding the end of another day.

The guards guarding Roland were sleepy-eyed, but in the end, they couldn't resist the effects of drowsiness, and they all fell asleep one by one.

Roland lay on the cold ground, tossing and turning.

The wind seeping into the corner of the wall was constant, cold and biting, making it difficult for Roland to sleep.

Roland opened his eyes slightly, the light in the cage was very dim and dim, faintly revealing a little evil aura.

Roland saw that from the gap in the corner, some faint black mist gradually filled. The black fog grew thicker and thicker, and finally it enveloped the entire room!

In the dead of night, no one noticed the anomaly in the secret room.

The black mist got closer and closer, passing through the iron pillar and entering the interior of the cage, eventually enveloping Roland's entire body. In the darkness, Roland did not feel a trace of panic. Because he felt a familiar aura, it was the undead who almost killed Rand when he and Rand came here to explore together, and the undead who were entrenched here!

“…… The imp ...... "The undead spoke first.

Hearing the voice, Roland could already be sure that the other party was him.

However, Roland did not speak, just sat up, crossed his knees and closed his eyes to recuperate.

"Huh...... Little ghost, I'm going to guillotine tomorrow, are you still so calm now? The undead continued.

Roland sighed slightly and said, "What, are you happy to see that I am about to die?" ”

Hearing Roland's answer, the black fog around him gradually dissipated a little. Then, the other party's entire body began to appear in front of Roland, which was also the first time Roland saw the other party's appearance clearly.

With long black hair mopping the floor, dark green light in his eyes, pale complexion, and a thin body, a half-solid figure appeared in front of Roland's eyes. It seems that the hair of the undead that Roland burned last time has all grown back for some reason.

The undead looked at Roland and smiled, "You're going to die soon?" At least you're alive now...... I, on the other hand, have been dead for hundreds of years. ”

As he spoke, the undead's body began to sway upward. His hands caressed the cold iron pillar, and he said, "Hehe...... Remember the last time we met? At that time, you were really desperate to save that kid! It made me suffer a lot...... But look at the present...... In just a few months, you'll be a prisoner, and you're about to die at his hands...... Oh, that's why I said that none of the people in their family have a good thing, and every one of them is a perfidious villain......"

Roland looked at the figure of the undead constantly floating back and forth, and was a little surprised by his calmness at this time. In Roland's impression, whether it was the first time he saw him, or the old ghost he saw in Evener City, he was all stubborn and tyrannical and terrible. The only undead spirit Roland knows who has a peaceful personality is Xiu. But because cultivating such an undead is a special case, it seems that the undead in front of Roland is a little strange.
