When the huge sound came, Fang Plover was about to rush out, but he naturally stopped subconsciously. He looked back and realized that there were three people standing behind him.

A guard in armor, a sluggish old man, and a man with a big belly.

Fang Yu couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

The guard had no face, as if he only had a pair of hollow armor and an empty iron gauntlet, which was not connected to the main body and floated in mid-air.

One hand held the shining halberd, and the other hand stretched out to open the rusty iron door.

The huge noise before was the heartbreaking sound of opening the door.

"Lord Archon..."

From the darkness behind him, the girl's frightened voice came.

The man was like a mountain of flesh, the greed in his eyes was gushing out without modification, and he was just staring straight in the direction of the dark cell.

When Fang Plover saw that look, he couldn't help but shudder.

Is that the gaze that humans should have? There is an abyss of desire that cannot be filled.

But the other party still maintained a carefully crafted reserve, silently stroking the seal ring on his hand, keeping a straight face and saying nothing.

The old man came in first.

At this moment, Fang Yu couldn't see the situation on Eve's side.

I just saw a very forced smile on the old man's face.

"Eve, in a week, the Archon will publicly announce your pardon at the next big gathering."

But the girl in the dark was not as excited as she imagined.

She just clasped her hands tightly on the wall behind her, convulsing: "...Really? But they said the same thing last time, can I really go out?"

"Of course it's true, Eve."

"Lord Archon, you are here too."

Then the man spoke: "Miss Eve, please don't worry, the kingdom will definitely return your innocence."

The girl looked at the three of them, tears bursting from her eyes, and she couldn't help but murmur to herself: "It's great, I have finally waited for this day."

"I want to meet my parents... and also Yue Xiude, can I meet them?"

"Of course, of course." the old man replied.

"That's great."

Eve leaned over and changed the bars of the cell door one by one, with a hint of unrealistic fantasy in her eyes: "...then, can I leave this place first?"

She looked at the three of them, looking forward to the answer in her heart.

"I, I don't want to stay here anymore. I haven't seen the sun for a long time. Since I am innocent, can I leave this place first?"

"At least change to another cell, please."

"The jailers are also...manipulative. Can you tell them that I, I am not a prisoner, I, I was just misunderstood."

The old man looked back.

But the man said seriously: "Of course not. What do you think this is, Miss Eve? I am the consul of the kingdom and represent the face of the king."

"Even if you are innocent, you still have to abide by the minimum rules before a public trial."

He replied sternly: "You must understand that it is not me who is responsible for your innocence, but the law of the kingdom. Although I understand privately, I cannot show personal favoritism to you."

"Trial, trial?"

"That's just a statement," the old man replied: "It's just an opportunity to publicly declare your innocence, but people don't know this."

"I understand, I understand."

The girl bit her lower lip: "Then... I'll just wait a little longer."

There was infinite disappointment in her tone, but also a hint of final hope: "Is it really only one week, only seven days?"

"There are only seven days," the man said impatiently: "It's not more than one day. Have I explained it clearly enough to you?"

"Yes, sorry."

The cell door opened again.

The three people filed out and left the place.

In the darkness, the girl was the only one left, leaning against the railing and sitting down with a pale face.

She put her hands around her weak shoulders, buried her head, and let out a soft sob. She didn't know if it was tears of joy, or a sense of relief after endless despair.

Fang Yu watched this scene silently.

But he didn't lean over.

Because the girl's phantom has gradually faded in the darkness. When all the light disappears, all that is left in the dark prison is just a field of gravel. The traces left by a hundred years of time here have long been obliterated.

everything that happened.

Fang Yu silently looked at that place and was stunned for a long time.

The innocent and kind-hearted girl in my impression once sat there, waiting endlessly in the darkness, waiting for a non-existent hope that she might never wait for.

He silently clenched his fist.

Attila walked up from behind, probably seeing that he was feeling a little heavy, but she opened her mouth, not knowing how to start comforting him.

But Fang Yu knew what he should do, so he just sighed softly and continued walking forward.

The situation ahead was not beyond his expectation

Under the dark cell, the girls' arguments were more intense than ever:

"A week has passed, why can't you let me out!?"

"I'm sorry, Miss Eve, something new has happened."

"What's the situation, but the consul promised me"

"I'm sorry, sir, he is in a difficult position too."

"What about my adoptive father? I want to see my adoptive father!"

"He can't see you either."

"Why……?"

Then comes an even longer time.

Even the official no longer appears. In fact, fewer and fewer people appear in the prison.

The girl became more and more haggard day by day, even nervous, and became a little suspicious.

Her original beautiful and innocent character seemed to be worn away bit by bit in the darkness, and she became weird and difficult to get along with. Those few people who came to visit her were often driven away by her with harsh words.

gone.

Only wanderers still appear in the dark prison from time to time.

But no matter how hysterical the girl was, he always behaved like a hard-working caregiver, seemingly enduring it silently, waiting for the day when he could take his adopted daughter out of this dark underground.

And one day, the girl finally completely lost her former disguise in front of her adoptive father. She seemed to have returned to her former weak look, and tears finally burst out from her eyes.

"When will Yue Xiude come to save me?"

"I'm going crazy, father..."

"There seems to be a voice in my head that doesn't stop talking to me."

"I'm scared. I don't know if it's an illusion..."

"I am not sure……"

"The things it told me weren't true, were they?"

"I'm not a dragon witch..."

"I have never used the power of darkness."

"I have never killed anyone..."

"I don't……"

"Woooooooo..."

And for the first time, Fang Plover saw an moved look on the homeless man's face.

He finally raised his head, looked at his adopted daughter, and said slowly: "I'm sorry, Eve, I don't have much ability. Although I have never given up, there is one thing that I have never told you the truth about."

The girl looked at him blankly.

The wanderer took out something and handed it to the girl: "Our messenger encountered a sandstorm on the way. He arrived late. Yoshid had already gone to Elpaxin and transferred from there to Baobao.

"Stand Coast"

"I was worried that you would lose confidence because of this, so I never told you anything."
