Chapter 216: The Guillotine

The sky is clear and the sun is shining, and the weather is really nice today!

It's a day to go to the guillotine.

Roland sat in the bumpy prison cart and couldn't help but think like this, but his eyes couldn't help but look around.

There are a lot of people on the streets now, a lot more than usual.

They were all hustling in the streets, and their expressions were full of anger when they looked at Roland. It seems that they probably all came to see Roland, a "heinous crime" person, with his head on the ground, right?

From time to time, there was people's abuse in his ears, what did he say that Roland was a beast ~ a monster, and cursed him for why he didn't die sooner...... It seems that everyone is very interested in the fact that the king wants to personally behead Roland, a "sinner", and the scene is as enthusiastic as a grand ceremony!

Roland looked at the ugly faces of the people, but somehow he didn't feel sad.

He just sighed in his heart: Rand, Rand, your status in the eyes of the people is really high! I could not have imagined that so many people would be filled with righteous indignation at the depravity of the retainers when the king was still a prince. It was as if Roland's existence would bring stigma to their "noble king".

The environment inside the prisoner cart is not bad, quite neat and tidy, and the area is also large.

Roland glanced around at the guards guarding him: Good guy, they are all professional mages in disguise, it seems that Rand really attaches great importance to Roland! It's just that the king did this because he was afraid that Roland would make some trouble in the process of being sent to the execution ground?

Although Roland's peculiar physique gives him the advantage of not needing a magic circle when casting spells compared to ordinary mages. But after all, Roland is just a student who doesn't have much practical experience, and he doesn't need so many people to guard him, right? Would anyone still be robbing him in order to save him, a notorious sinner?

The corners of Roland's mouth couldn't help but raise a miserable smile, a little bitter.

There are more and more people on the streets.

Somehow, the road where the prisoner cart passed began to become blocked, and even the prisoner cart escorting Roland was forced to temporarily stop the queue that was advancing.

Roland temporarily rested on the iron pillar of the prisoner cart, only to feel cold on his body.

In the end, it was winter, although it was a sunny day, but with the north wind, the thin and shabby prison clothes on Roland's body could not keep him warm at all. Roland felt that his right hand was numb from the cold again, and the thick black wound on his hand was itchy and swollen, and he felt that even his arm was a little unconscious.

At this moment, two familiar figures suddenly broke out of the crowd of onlookers, and they simply squeezed in front of the prisoner car from the bustling crowd. The mages disguised as guards had tried to stop the visitors from approaching, but when they could see their faces clearly, they let them come with water again.

Hehe, in the end, it is a noble lady who grew up with the king's childhood sweetheart, and the people in this Shuangyue City really know when to flatter someone.

Roland couldn't help but think like this, but he felt a trace of warmth in his heart as Sakura Wind approached: it turned out that he had not been completely forgotten by this world, and there were still people who would think about him.

And the other person who came with Sakura was a little unexpected by Roland. He turned out to be a cultivator who was not too familiar with Roland.

Sakura Feng lay outside the prisoner car with a solemn expression, and asked Roland with tears in her eyes: "Roland, what the hell is going on?" Rand, why the hell did he do this to you......"

Before Roland could answer, Xiu interjected and said, "Roland, tell me honestly, did you kill those people?" Have you colluded with the devil......"

Roland looked at the two of them and smiled. His mood began to become calm: "Did I do it, does it still matter?" The key is...... The king has decided that I did those things, and that is enough......"

"So, is there a misunderstanding in this matter? Does Narant know? I'm going to find him......"

"Forget it......" Roland looked up at the sky and found that the sky had become a little gloomy at some point: "This is a matter between me and him, only we can solve it......"

Before Sakura could say anything more, the road became clear again. The team escorting Roland began to move, and Sakura and Shu were isolated in place.

Roland could only watch Sakura Wind being blocked behind him, getting farther and farther away from him......

At that moment, Roland suddenly had a feeling of heartache, as if he had made a final farewell to this world. This is probably Roland's last nostalgia for this world!

The weather is turning cloudy.

The location of the execution platform is in a corner of the main stage in the city. It was surrounded by an empty square, and generally only the most heinous people would be dragged here and executed in full view.

Roland never imagined that one day he would enjoy this "honor".

Near the execution platform, a large group of people had also gathered at this time, and they were bustling around the square, and they seemed to be excited about this execution scene that they had not seen for several years. People seem to think that through Roland's "head on the ground", they can wash away the sadness and despair left behind after the demonic invasion of Two Moon City these days, so that everyone can gain new hope and bring morale.

Roland thinks that this is probably why the king had to execute him publicly!

Roland was tied up by the mages and taken to the execution ground. The sharp blades on the guillotine, even in this gloomy weather, seemed to reflect light.

And on the main platform in the city, at this time, there were already heavy troops, and they were full of people.

It won't be long before the king will also appear there.

Only after witnessing the demise of Roland, the "rebel", can the king of Rand say goodbye to his obscure past completely, block the mouths of the people, and extricate himself from this chaotic situation, becoming a real and unscrupulous "Ming Jun".

Sure enough, after about a quarter of an hour, to the cheers of the crowd, the king slowly ascended the stage.

Rand was on the stage, condescending, looking at Roland with a blank face, as if he was despising an ant.

Roland also looked up at Rand carefully. As a result, he found that after a few days of not being seen, Rand had become thinner than before, and his face was a little pale. It seems that in the past few days before ensuring that Roland's head has fallen to the ground, Rand is afraid that he has not slept well, right?

Soon, the hustle and bustle around them was replaced by silence, and Roland knew that the time for the execution was approaching.

The King's eyes remained on Roland, refusing to miss a moment, as if he was worried about what would happen at this last moment.
