before he was crowned king

There are creepy sounds in this tunnel, and the dark and oppressive environment is like a deep sea world six hundred feet below.

Ordinary people might have given up the struggle for survival if they were in such a hopeless situation.But for Sean, who had died once, he was able to put reason above emotion and keep himself absolutely calm at all times.

It is not difficult for Sean's memory and sense of space to accurately find the escape path in a chaotic environment, but... His luck is really bad, the bent iron rod is as complicated as a spider web Form blocked the path ahead of him.

Sean couldn't turn back the same way, he turned and ran into another intersection.Many prisons are designed very complicated inside, and it is even more common to deliberately design a few dead ends, such as the most famous Devil's Island prison in the Saint Via Empire, where the architectural design even incorporates the elements of the magic circle. This ensures that there is no possibility of escape for the extremely evil people detained inside.

Sean didn't know how many traps were hidden in Baron Toland's private prison to prevent prisoners from escaping, and he didn't know whether the road he chose was a desperate dead end.The only thing he can ensure is the correct direction of escape. Judging from the actual distance, he will soon be able to reach the position of the stairs.

The sound in your ears is getting more and more intense, like a huge carriage that is about to fall apart, driving back and forth above your head.At this time, the anxiety about when it will collapse is far more frightening than the bang itself.

To a certain extent, Sean made the right bet. The road he chose was open, and he returned to the fork in the road where he and Alex met for the first time.

However, unfortunately, the ladder to escape from the sky began to fall from a certain step in the middle before Sean's eyes, like a pushed domino gradually collapsed towards both ends until it completely collapsed.

"I can't get out for the time being." Sean made such a judgment. Under the current situation, he can only find a solid corner to hide from.As for whether it will be crushed by the falling boulder, it depends on personal luck.

Sheen doesn't mind being a crazy gambler when it comes to resolutions, but he's never had much hope for his luck.He has a clear understanding of himself, and he doesn't think that the balance of Xuan Ao's fate will tilt to his side without a bargaining chip.After all, if he recalled what he had experienced in his memory, he could find that he was definitely not a lucky person.

Dust was falling down in strands like overturned rainwater. At this moment, Sean seemed to be in an hourglass, waiting for the space he was in to slowly disintegrate.

"Sheen! Sheen!" Amidst the roar, someone shouted.

Sean froze, it was Alex's voice.In those fragmented memories, once, without knowing the specific time, it seemed that in the intertwined illusion of flames and darkness, someone called his name like this before he closed his eyes to arouse his will to live.In the darkness, Sean's pupils shrank suddenly, and the torch fell to the ground. Someone rushed over and hugged him tightly, and the strong momentum brought them to hit the wall.

Almost out of some kind of instinctive protection, Sean held the man in his arms, and the hard raised stone wall slammed into his back.Sean clenched his teeth, and a fishy-sweet taste rolled up his throat and spread throughout his mouth.

The boulder crashed down, and the falling torch was crushed into pieces, and the starlight disappeared completely in the darkness.

"[Guardian]." Sean yelled hoarsely with blood spilling from the corner of his mouth.

The shock was not over yet, and Sean's voice reached the man's ears, and he came back to his senses suddenly. A thin film barrier that glowed with light completely covered the two people's bodies, and the sharp stones were blocked. Outside, it landed on the film with a muffled thumping sound.

Erics lowered his head, and saw the young man leaning against the wall, his blond hair was stained with dust and no longer dazzled, and a slender streak of blood left from the corner of his mouth.

"You are injured." Alex wanted to check Sean's injury, but was refused.

"No." Sean raised the back of his hand and wiped the corner of his mouth, his eyes still calm, "Why are you still here, don't you remember what I said?"

"Now is not the time to talk about this, Sean, you are hurt." Alex's voice was pleading, "Please let me see, I can use light magic to heal you—"

"I know my body." Sean interrupted the other person with a serious voice, "Listen, Alex, from now on, you must save your energy, don't talk too much, and don't do anything meaningless Thing. All your energy is going to support the magic, that's the key. If you can't hold on before the shock, then we will all be buried here alive, understand?"

Erics froze for a moment, then nodded.

"Now tell me honestly, how long can you last." Sean said softly.

"One, one... two hours." Erics suddenly changed his tone, "I can persist until the end, and I will definitely protect you."

Sean was silent for a moment, and said slowly, "Persisting until the end of the collapse does not mean we will be alive. We will be trapped under the ruins. Without water and food, people can only survive for two to three days. If you press I can tell, and I can find someone to rescue me after the landslide is over."

"And now no one knows that we are trapped here, that is to say, no one will come to rescue us." Sean looked at Alex's face, his voice became extremely soft, "Knowing what a stupid thing I did something?"

"I'm sorry, Sean. I remember what you said, but I can't do it." Alex lowered his head, his short black hair covering his eyes, "but I don't want to do this, I want to do it right away this time What... Sean, I am not as smart as you, I am as dull as a tortoise, I want to use a hard shell to protect my relatives, friends, and all the people I love, but when they are really in danger, But I couldn't be by their side... By the time I arrived with the carapace on my back, they had all left."

"I'm very guilty," Alex's voice trembled, and the sharp thorn in his heart began to hurt, "but it was too late. Looking back, the most unacceptable thing is that I didn't do anything... I Unforgivable..."

"Your mood swings are too big, it's a waste of energy." Sean cut off Erics' words coldly. Contrary to his tone, he made a gentle movement, and put his cool palm against Alex's. Rex's face, fingertips wiped away the tears that hadn't fallen on his cheeks, "Even a god can't save everyone, you think too much of yourself."

Erics was stunned, the hand touching him suddenly trembled, and then he coughed heart-piercingly, which made him flustered.

"Xion." Alex hugged the weak figure in his arms, his hand touched the back of Xien, and touched a large sticky and warm blood.

The coughing stopped and Sean passed out.

"I want to calm down." Alex looked at his blood-stained lips and trembled, and the words Sean said to him kept replaying in his mind.

Don't waste energy, his energy can only be reserved for the most important things at the moment.

Erics took off his coat and cut it into cloth strips one by one with the short knife he carried. Saint Via College taught simple rescue courses, and he knew some methods to stop bleeding.

After briefly treating Sean's back injury, Alex hugged Sean tightly, protecting the weak man in his arms.

The whole world was trembling, and only the two of them were left hugging each other tightly, curled up in a small corner.

In the middle of the night, a symphony of thunderstorms roared over the ruins.

The rainwater crackled on the leaves, and the water splashed until the black umbrella surface gathered together, like a swollen stream, rushing down.

"Go back, it's raining so hard, all clues have been washed away by the water." Irene held up a small flower umbrella, she lowered her head and stepped on the pond on the ground boredly, "Anyway, it's that What kind of baron messed up, what else is there to investigate."

Under the black umbrella, Lambert pursed his lips tightly. He and Irene pretended to follow Baron Toland out of the territory, just not wanting to arouse the other party's suspicion, and waited for the opportunity to return to investigate today.

However, the sudden rainstorm made their plans come to naught.

"I told you a long time ago that the time should be advanced." Lambert said in a cold tone, "Just to waste half an hour waiting for your plate of beef stew."

"Hey, hey, how could this be the fault of the beef stew, smart people would not blame the food for their mistakes." Irene touched her nose and whispered, "Obviously someone got the wrong direction and caused us to go around Long way."

The rain was so loud that Lambert couldn't hear what Irene was saying, but he knew it was useless complaints if he didn't listen.

The guards patrolling the perimeter are still there, but because of the bad weather, their attitude on duty has obviously become lax.When the two teams of guards crossed, Lambert glanced at his pocket watch, and the time was 10 full minutes longer than he had observed before.

"I said! Let's go back! My skirt and shoes are all wet, and I'm so uncomfortable sticking to my body." Irene was completely tired of this terrible environment, "Do nothing, is it interesting for us to get wet here? "

"Where do you want to go back?" Lambert said lightly, "Are you going to continue to be under house arrest?"

"Then find a place to shelter from the rain!" Irene said loudly.

"There will be no place to stay until dawn, and you should have known that when you came out with me," Lambert said.

Irene held the umbrella handle tightly and let out a mouthful slowly. She was about to be pissed off by this man.If she wasn't a fool, how could she not know what the situation was like now.

But she is still a girl anyway, can't you just comfort her with a word or two?

If it was Princess Ornis, this guy must have a different face.

Irene pouted her mouth unhappily. She was still wearing a thin skirt. This fabric was very comfortable to wear in summer, but now after being wet by the rain, it stuck to her skin like ice cubes.

She breathed hot air into her hands and hugged her cold arms.

"Hold it." A gray-blue men's coat was handed under her umbrella, "Wait a while, this rain won't be very long."

"Big idiot Lambert." Irene froze for a moment, then snorted softly, and put the coat with the man's body temperature on her shoulders.
