Pillar of Yita

And Tata was using the strength of the Mind World to tell Fang Hong that the circular hall they saw earlier was right behind this cell.

But when Fang Hong looked up, he saw that this cell was already the end of the underground passage—there was no way forward.

However, it was at this moment that he felt the Ring of Golden Flame in his hand begin to heat up faintly.

From behind came a series of low footsteps.

A voice said:

”Unbelievable, did you hear? His Majesty the King is actually going to hold a celebration in Golande.”

Fang Hong looked in that direction, certain he had heard this voice before, but it was not any of the Praetor Garcia, the Great Elder, or the Wandering Alte. He thought for a moment before recalling the image of a prison guard.

And the next voice, too, belonged to another prison guard:

”What? The Harvest Festival just happened, and it’s still more than two months until the next holiday. It’s a pity that Idus doesn’t hold the Harvest Festival, and the Istania people here only have their Harvest Festival, which won’t be until next year.”

”And since it doesn’t snow in Idus, the Winter Hunting Festival is rarely held either. This place really isn’t fit for people to stay.”

Fang Hong saw two people emerge from the darkness.

The first shook his head: ”It’s unrelated. It’s just His Majesty the King’s wedding for his daughter.”

”Oh, which guy got so lucky to catch the eye of the Princess,” the second person asked curiously: ”Let me guess, is it Lord Kalatu?”

”Exactly,” the first nodded: ”But it’s not just him; there’s also someone familiar to us here.”

”Who?”

”Of course, it’s the descendant of the Dragon Slayer. They say he returned from the Ancient Tower just to make it to the wedding.”

As they talked, they glanced sympathetically in the direction where Fang Hong stood.

But Fang Hong naturally understood they weren’t looking at him. He turned around and indeed saw Eve standing pale behind the iron door, almost shivering as she asked, ”The person you’re talking about, who is it?”

”Hey, miss,” the two prison guards looked over here: ”Are you asking us?”

Eve slowly nodded.

”But why should we answer you?” the first prison guard replied with a smirk: ”The last time you tattled on us to the lord, we were in a terrible fix. Now, look at you, you’ve come to this place yourself, and we had to be moved into this lower level because of you too.”

Eve bit her lip, looking pitifully at these two people.

The prison guards chuckled darkly, adding: ”Actually, it’s not that we can’t be flexible. If you let us touch your small hand, maybe we can consider it. Last time you falsely accused us of being grabby, but we hadn’t even touched you before you broke free—”

”You made us miserable, so shouldn’t you give us some benefit?”

”You!”

”It’s fine if not,” the prison guard replied: ”We’re far from you this time, are you going to say we’re trying something again?”

The second prison guard also said coldly: ”Let’s just leave this wretched woman here alone, pitifully waiting for her lover who will never come for a rescue. Ha, how laughable, an ignorant, foolish woman.”

As they spoke, they walked back the way they came.

But Eve clenched her fists tightly, her nails digging into her flesh, almost drawing blood from the palm.

She hesitated several times, and only when they were about to reach the end of the dark prison did the girl finally couldn’t help calling after them: ”Wait!”

The two prison guards exchanged glances and turned back to look at her.

The girl looked at them miserably, responding with a loathing in her eyes: ”I agree... but if you dare to lay a hand on me, don’t forget how you ended up here... and if you dare to deceive me...”

She closed her mouth and said no more.

Fang Hong watched this scene from the side, opening his mouth involuntarily. He wanted so much to tell the girl that it was all lies, that Yoshude never married any of His Majesty the King’s princess, and his later wife was just a clanswoman.

Moreover, he had single-handedly taken a Floating Ship from the Ancient Tower, just to rush back and save him. The Dragon Slaying Hero was probably already at Long Lake and very close to Idus.

It’s just a pity, those words lost in time.

A century long.

The girl trembled as she stretched out her hand, forcing herself not to feel nauseated, letting the two prison guards hold her hand. The prison guards laughed deeply, and Eve almost began to shake, closing her eyes as she asked: ”Who exactly is this person you speak of?”

”Who else could it be? It’s naturally the person you mentioned.”

”Your Yoshude is about to become the Princess’s husband!”

”Impossible!”

Eve suddenly opened her eyes wide, enraged. She pulled back one hand abruptly, but when she was about to withdraw the other, the prison guard grabbed her, intending to drag her back and press her against the cell door.

”What are you doing!” the girl exclaimed in shock and anger.

Fang Hong was also shocked and angry.

He couldn’t bear it any longer, even forgetting that this was merely a Phantom Realm.

He raised Pride of the Lonely King, ’bang’ a fist slammed against the wall, making a loud noise. He looked at the two and shouted furiously: ”What are you two doing!?”

But after yelling, he paused, realizing he’d probably made a mistake. But before this thought could settle, he saw the two prison guards turn their heads in astonishment, looking at him frantically.
