The floor where Severo was locked up was completely hidden and was only used to lock up the most important prisoners.
At the moment, there were not many people locked up here, only five or six. When eli looked over, they were all lying inside, having completely lost their desire to live.
âMy lord, seviro is in the innermost area.â The guard said as he walked in front.
Soon, they came to the end of the corridor and came to a huge iron door. There was only a ten-centimeter long and five-centimeter wide iron window on the iron door that allowed them to see inside.
Eli looked through the window, and the scene inside was reflected in his eyes.
In the lightless prison, seviroâs feet were shackled with thick chains, and so were his hands. He was strung in the air, his hair disheveled, and his head lowered as if he had lost all sense of the outside world.
And if Eli wasnât wrong, seviroâs body was covered in wounds, and his life force was like a weak flame. In fact, Eli felt like he would die in the next second.
There was no hope.
âWhat happened?â Looking at seviroâs expression, Eli felt sad, which was very rare.
âMaster, you donât know how terrifying that old man was. He fought dozens of Knights and killed dozens of advanced Knights. He didnât care about his life at all. He even killed a Grand Knight, and another grand Knight was seriously injured. In the end, he couldnât hold on anymore. Otherwise, he would have run away. Now, he is dying.â The guard said with a face full of fear.
âYes, all of you, leave. I want to go in and take a look.â Eli said.
âBut, my Lord, thereâs still a certain level of danger.â The guard dissuaded.
âMaster, you canât go in. Itâs too dangerous.â Eliâs guards also tried their best to dissuade him.
âGet lost. I want to go in!â Eli stared at the two of them.
âAlright!â The guard hesitated for a moment, then immediately went to get the key. He quickly returned and opened the door.
Eliâs guard took a look and left hesitantly as well.
âSeviro!â Eli walked straight into the darkness.
In the darkness, Severo coughed twice. In the darkness, under his loose hair, he couldnât see Eli.
âWho are you? Am I going to die?â He panted with difficulty.
âYou are indeed dying. Your life force is about to be extinguished.â Eli said softly.
This time, seviro didnât say anything.
In the darkness, he could only hear the sound but not see Eliâs face.
âJust like before, letâs talk about what youâve encountered this time. Letâs catch up, â Eli said with a smile.
Seviro was speechless.
Why did it feel a little familiar?
âSigh, you really make me worry. Old friend, I told you not to do this.â Eli shook his head and slowly approached. His appearance gradually changed, and he returned to his original appearance.
This time, the distance was close enough for Seviro to see Eli.
His eyes widened.
âEli!â Seviroâs eyes widened in disbelief.
Wasnât this the deepest part of the prison? How did he get in?
âHow did you get in?â Seviro coughed up a mouthful of blood, and his expression changed.
âDidnât you write me a letter? You didnât clearly state what you found, so I came to find you,â Eli replied.
Seviro, ââŚâ
He understood that, but how the hell did Eli get in?
âLetâs have a chat. What did you discover this time?â Eli sat on the ground and then took out a bottle of rum from his arms.
âYou bastard.â When he smelled the wine, the corners of seviroâs shriveled mouth curled up, but he found himself trapped and unable to move at all.
Suddenly, two gusts of wind passed by.
The sound of metal being cut rang out. Seviro fell from the air. He was dumbfounded when he saw the chains on both sides of his hands break.
âWhat is this?â Seviro said, trembling.
âSit down and have a drink,â Eli said.
âAlright!â With all his doubts, Seviro sat down and gritted his teeth. This was because his injuries were too severe.
âLetâs talk about your matter first,â Eli said.
âAlright!â Severo picked up the rum with difficulty and took a sip.
âSince I left Jun Lin for the last time, Iâd already harbored the thought of dying outside if I donât find anything. I knew my condition was getting worse and worse.
âThen, three months ago, I finally finished searching all the places I wanted to check. There were only two places left, and the Empireâs imperial mausoleum was one of them.â Seviro didnât hold back at all as he spoke. he took a sip of wine and spat out a mouthful of blood.
Eli sat opposite him and looked at him calmly.
âAnd what did you find there?â Eli asked.
âNo, thereâs nothing inside. Itâs just an empty shell.â Seviro laughed and coughed out a few more mouthfuls of blood. â I was discovered instead. I wanted to escape, but there were too many of them. I ended up like this. â
Eli took a sip of rum as well and then said, âThen what about your letter?â
âDidnât I tell you that there are only two places left? If thereâs nothing at the mausoleum, then it has to be at the other place.â Seviro cast a glance at Eli and spat out another mouthful of blood. This time, there was some flesh and internal organs.
Eli didnât stop him.
Because of Seviroâs condition, he was really beyond saving.
âWhere is it?â
âThe underground of the palaceâs main hall.â Seviro didnât beat around the bush and said directly.
âUnder the main hall?â Eli raised an eyebrow. âThen how can you be sure that itâs not somewhere else in the palace?â
âHa, I searched every inch of the palace when I was the director, except for that place. Now that I think about it, it doesnât seem right. That place was solid, but I once felt a slight echo from underground. If I wasnât a top Grand Knight, I wouldnât have heard it. But I didnât think too much about it at that time.
âIt also seemed that Saleen metatrin had been there before he died.
âIâm sure his trace could be found under the main hall,â Seviro said bitterly.
If only he had noticed this more than a decade ago.
âIs that so?â Eli was also very shocked.
He didnât expect this revelation.
However, if it were really there, he would have to think about how about to go about this.
âWhat about you? Whatâs going on with you?â seviro mesa then looked at eli.
Eli didnât answer. He moved his right palm, and a burning fireball appeared.
The light from the fire illuminated their faces, and seviro Mesa was completely dumbfounded.
He looked at Eli and didnât make a sound for a long time.
âSo my dream was realized long ago?â A few minutes later, Seviro spoke with a trembling voice.
âIâm sorry!â Eli apologized.
âItâs okay, haha. I found it. I told you, mages do exist. Haha! â Seviro Mesa suddenly laughed out loud, and his internal organs spurted out along with the blood.
âThank you, â he said to Eli. âI have no regrets in this life! I can feel that Iâm going to die soon. Can you go out? I donât want you to see me in such a sorry state.
âAlso, I still have a daughter in Junlin. After I die, sheâll be in danger. Can you help me send her away from Junlin?â
âAlright!â Eli picked up the rum and walked out of the room.
Five minutes later.
Eli felt the aura of the door behind him disappear.
He entered again.
Seviro had already fallen to the ground with a smile on his face. He had lost his life.
