Chapter 255: Opportunity

Probably sensing Roy's psychological changes, Lan Ke smiled slightly: "But don't despair just because the king knows that you are doing things for Archimedes. For you, things are still turning around. Do you know why the king didn't dispose of you, a traitor? That's because he also wants to give you a chance, a chance to atone for your sins. ”

"Opportunity? What do you mean? Roy almost blurted out.

The expression on Lan Ke's face finally became serious, and he slowly spoke: "I won't hide it from you, Archimedes is the king's henchman, and His Majesty will definitely find a way to get rid of him as soon as possible." However, Archimedes seems to have grasped some of the king's handles, and used it to contain the king, so that His Highness was restrained everywhere, and it was almost impossible to move an inch. But fortunately, now I have discovered Archimedes' secret, and now the Holy Court is also dissatisfied with Archimedes. So now is the best chance to get rid of his henchman completely. And you ......"

As he spoke, Lan Ke turned his head to look into Roy's eyes, and the expression on his face became very serious: "What I want you to do is to completely eliminate the threat that Archimedes poses to the king." It would be better to co-opt his intelligence network at the same time and make it available to the king. This shouldn't be difficult for you now, right? ”

Listening to Lan Ke's words, Roy couldn't help but fall into deep thought. Then, his heart couldn't help but become conflicted again: "But, I've already killed ......"

"Those are a thing of the past. It's not too late to make amends. Lan Ke interrupted Roy's words, and said in a firm tone: "What Archimedes can give you, the king can too." I know what you're scrupling about right now. But those things can only be explained to the king by yourself, and this knot can be solved! Now that His Majesty has extended an olive branch to you, you should also show him some sincerity. I've said that, it's up to you to decide what to do. ”

After saying these words, Lan Ke glanced at Roy, and then turned around, intending to leave the rooftop.

"Wait! You guys...... When are you going to do it? Finally, when Lan Ke was about to reach the staircase, Roy finally couldn't help but ask.

Lan Ke didn't look back, but a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he replied, "It's tonight, on the outskirts of the city." ”

In the evening, news soon reached the palace that Archimedes had led a group of men and horses to the back hills on the outskirts of the city, as Sharon had expected.

Archimedes' purpose in doing this is obvious, which is to dig up the soul crystals that have just been buried.

After receiving the news, the king, together with a group of holy court personnel in the palace, also led the soldiers to the outskirts according to the plan.

They were going to catch turtles in an urn for Archimedes.

Although Roland put on a big robe to cover his face, he only thought that he was an ordinary member of the Holy Court and participated in this mission, but in his heart, he still had a slight doubt about this mission.

Isn't it easy for the Holy Court to deal with an Archimedes? Wouldn't it be more convenient to be arrested and interrogated directly? Why bother to cooperate with the king to catch turtles in such an urn?

Moreover, is it really necessary for the king to personally lead the team in this operation? Roland really couldn't see the purpose of having the king on the scene. Because in terms of status alone, the identity of the Sheron Dragon Knight is obviously more respected, isn't it enough to have her in a town?

Dingeniel's performance at this time was very calm.

Although Roland can't see Dingenil's full expression now, through the corners of Dingenel's mouth that are faintly peeking out under the brim of Dingeniel's hat, Roland can clearly feel that his facial muscles are very relaxed at this time, and it seems that he has already been in his chest.

Finally, the group gradually got closer and closer to the place where the crystal was buried.

Sharon narrowed his eyes slightly, then lowered his voice and told everyone to dismount and sneak forward. According to her, Archimedes should have almost begun to order people to dig the deep pit that was just buried in the morning, and Archimedes should be extra careful about every move around him now, so everything should be careful.

Due to the complex terrain, all hands must be divided into multiple groups to move around in order to prevent detection. But in this case, there will not be many men left around the king, only three or four.

I don't know what Sharon thinks, she actually sent Roland to follow the king to protect him, which made Roland feel a little uncomfortable. Although the king could not see his face now, Roland still couldn't help but feel nervous when he stayed by Rand's side: What if he found out my true face?

"This lord, in two or three hundred meters is the place where the demon's corpse is buried, should we sneak up and get closer next?" The king looked at Roland and whispered.

Roland was slightly stunned, then nodded slightly, not daring to make a sound at all, after all, the king was too familiar with his voice. And as they got closer and closer to their destination, Roland's heart became a little nervous, because no one knew what secrets Archimedes was hiding in that old thing, and maybe something else would happen!

Gradually, as they advanced, a faint light began to come from the woods in front of them, which was supposed to be the place where the soul crystals were buried.

They all lay in ambush in the bushes.

It didn't take long for Roland to find the place where the soul crystal had been buried, surrounded by a small group of people, who should be dressed as mages, and they had already begun to dig into the deep pit.

Somehow, Roland observed Archimedes, and always felt that he seemed to be a little impatient waiting for him, and he couldn't wait to get that fragment?

Because at this time, Sharon still did not move. So Roland had no choice but to remain lurking in the bushes.

Roland knew that Sharon was waiting for her time, but what was she waiting for?

If you want to catch the current situation, you can take action now? Do you really have to wait for them all to dig up? We'll have to wait a while.

Roland squatted on the ground, and it didn't take long for his legs and feet to feel a little numb. Presumably, the other people in ambush should not be comfortable either, right? Thinking of this, Roland involuntarily glanced at the king, and Rand was now engrossed in the situation ahead. His pupils trembled slightly, as if he was worried about something. Was he afraid to see Augustin's body again?

If it was about this, the king probably thought too much. After the demon dies, the body will be carbonized, and it will not be long before it will turn into dust and disappear from its original appearance, and it is estimated that it will not be able to distinguish anything when it is dug up now.

Fortunately, the night wind was strong tonight, and the trees in the woods were rustling. As a result, the people in ambush, even if they change their posture a little, will not attract attention if they make some noises. Roland felt a little tired of squatting, so he sat on the ground, trying to relax his already stiff limbs a little. The other people who were in a group with Roland all sat down one after another when they saw Roland, an adult from the Holy Court, like this.

The king saw that everyone had changed their postures, and his expression was a little hesitant, and finally he estimated that he was also tired of squatting, so he also sat down. But what he didn't expect was that because there was a clump of dead branches at the back of the king's position, he sat down like this, and the dead branches hung on his belt, and the dead branches and the belt were entwined together, and it became inseparable.

The king glanced at the withered branch with a helpless expression. He was about to reach out to unravel the mess, but he was suddenly stunned. Because Rand is now wearing a pair of long leather gloves, it is actually very inconvenient to untie these things. And he had a demonic seal on the back of his hand, so it was impossible for him to take off his gloves and expose that seal to others!

The other guards were clearly unable to pay attention to the king's current awkward situation. In their impression, the king of Rand has always liked to do it himself, so he probably doesn't need their help to untie those dead branches, right? But seeing the king's tangled face, it seems that he needs help, so what should he do?

Looking at everyone's blank and embarrassed expressions, Roland involuntarily stretched out his hand to break the dead branches on Rand's body!

Randt's expression was a little surprised, somewhat surprised by Roland's unexpected behavior, but he immediately said to Roland, "Uh...... Thank you. ”
