The hole below the ground was as bright as day.
Although there was only one luminous ball, the hole wasn't very big, so it was quite illuminated.
Only the passage that was broken by Roland's' brute force 'was as dark as ink in the depths where the light couldn't reach. Moreover, there was a faint muffled sound, as if some terrifying monster was growling in the darkness.
Evelyn, who was sitting on the ground against the wall, subconsciously hugged her legs and rested her chin on her knees.
Roland was sitting quietly on her opposite side. His eyes were even closed.
Women and men had different ways of thinking. To put it simply, women were more emotional.
Their thinking was more divergent, and it was easy for them to make associations, especially in some special situations.
For example, Evelyn was making associations for no reason at this moment.
"There are only two of us. Will he become a beast?"
How long will he stay? Is he intentionally creating an opportunity for the two of them to be alone?
Veronica can hold on for a few days, but the sooner I deliver the antidote, the sooner her pain can be alleviated.
He's not talking. Is he thinking about something that he shouldn't be thinking?
It's so dark and scary over there.
Similar thoughts were popping up in Evelyn's head. It wasn't because Evelyn had a lot of thoughts, but because that was how most women thought.
Their minds were very open and messy.
Roland, on the other hand, had his eyes closed. He was actually reading the forum.
He estimated that the enemy would leave two to three people behind, so he wasn't in a hurry.
It was already midnight, and the battle just now had caused quite a stir. The city guards would come to check in half an hour at most.
He didn't believe that the enemy had bribed all the city guards.
In that case, the royal family would really be doomed.
Roland had a great time reading the forum. Seeing that he didn't do anything special, Evelyn was gradually reassured.
Instead of letting his imagination run wild, he turned to worry about his sister, Veronica.
She was still lying in bed in pain because of the poison.
However, as she worried and worried, her eyes gradually became blurry. Then, she fell asleep on her knees.
After all, she was a weak young girl. Her physique wasn't very good, and it was easy for her to get sleepy.
On the ground, Morahu and the other two Black Robes waited for more than ten minutes. Seeing that there was no movement down there, he looked into the distance again and found that someone seemed to have noticed them. He made a gesture, and the three of them quickened their footsteps and ran away.
Roland was browsing the forum when he heard faint footsteps. He simply raised his eyes and looked up, before he closed his eyes and continued browsing the forum.
Evelyn was still sleeping.
On the ground, about four minutes later, eight men in black suddenly appeared on the roofs on both sides of the street. They stared at the place where Roland disappeared for five minutes and disappeared again.
After another six minutes, Morahu and the other three Black Robes appeared again. However, this time, they only took a glance and left.
Ten minutes later, the city guards appeared at the scene.
Antis was the captain. He looked at the stone wall in the middle of the road and raised his eyebrows. He walked forward and pressed his hand on it. He then realized that the stone wall was very hard.
He waved his hand, and the city guards immediately left. About half an hour later, they returned with a simple battering ram.
More than ten people worked together to break the stone wall. Antis stepped over the broken stone wall and looked around. He didn't find any enemies, but then he noticed the obvious rock marks on the street. After all, the color was different.
Right when Antis was about to examine it, Roland suddenly appeared several meters ahead of him.
Antis was so shocked that he drew his sword and leaped four meters back.
Seeing that it was Roland, he heaved a sigh of relief. "It's you. What happened here?"
"Somebody tried to kidnap the princess." Roland shrugged.
Antis had a weird, surprised, and matter-of-fact expression on his face. "Princess Evelyn?"
It was Roland's turn to be surprised. He even grew wary. "How did you know?"
"I guessed it." Antis put on a mocking expression. "I'm a member of the royal family after all. I can guess what His Majesty is thinking."
Did it have something to do with the king?
Antis took a deep breath. "Where is Princess Evelyn right now?"
Roland didn't say anything.
Antis continued, "Don't worry. I mean no harm to the princess, although we're not on good terms. But at least I'm not her enemy. "
"Then who's her enemy?"
"Someone who wants to make use of her." Antis smiled.
Roland was silent for a moment. The rocks next to him began to roll and soon revealed a giant hole.
Antis walked to the hole and looked down, only to discover that a person in a black robe was sitting at the bottom of the hole. Looking closer, he found that it was Evelyn who was asleep.
"Your Highness, Princess Evelyn," Antis shouted.
Evelyn was suddenly woken up. She raised her head, only to find that Roland and Antis were both above her. Delighted, she looked around and was trying to find a way up, when she found a stone staircase in the hole before her.
She stepped up and was relieved to see the city guards behind Antis. "Great. We're safe now."
Antis looked at Evelyn and asked, "Why are you here, Your Highness?"
Roland was slightly surprised. Didn't Antis know that something happened to Princess Evelyn?
As if sensing Roland's surprise, Antis turned around and explained to him, "I only know the cause and the result, but I don't know what happened."
"Why am I here?" Evelyn, however, was puzzled. "Didn't you send someone to inform me that Veronica was poisoned and asked me to bring the antidote from Isnas? Because the antidote is very precious, I had to deliver it in person. "
Antis asked, "Who told you that?"
"Medar, the manager."
Antis nodded. "As far as I know, the antidote that Princess Veronica needs can only be produced in the alchemical workshop in Isnas, but you don't need to deliver it in person."
Roland listened for a while and already understood what was going on.
Evelyn, on the other hand, understood it too. Her face turned gloomy. "It was Medar who helped me contact the black robes of the Guild of Assassins. Why? He's served the royal family for more than thirty years. He should be reliable. "
"I assume that Medar has already left Isnas." Antis chuckled.
At this moment, Roland received a system notification. The quest had been completed, the princess was safe, and he had received 132 EXP. Also, his friendliness with the royal family dropped from -50 to -35.
He was about to leave, when Antis suddenly said, "Roland, you should be a good man to the end. Escort the princess to the royal palace. Also, the king asked me to invite you to the royal palace when he sees you again! "
Roland slightly raised his eyebrow. "Huh? Is he going to punish me?"
