Lord of Secrets

Traqi felt some pain in her head and something strange in her nose. She twitched slightly and suddenly woke up from the stimulation.

It seemed that Trachi's cry was different from before, which gave the remaining numb and desperate children a glimmer of hope, and then they slowly opened their eyes.

Traqi frowned and quickly covered his nose with his hand, then stood up and looked around.

At this time, her mind was filled with doubts.

Where are you?

Horus, where have you gone?

…

However, she had no time to think about it. Looking at the dim corridor, she just hesitated for a moment, then took a step forward and turned to look at the basement with the open door.

Traqi was not a fool, but she knew that she was fine for the time being, because she remembered that she had made a noise when she woke up before, and if there was anyone around, they must have been there long ago.

And there should be the entrance not far away, so her first reaction was that she wanted to understand the surrounding environment instead of leaving directly.

But the basement was very dark, there was no candlelight, but Traqi felt something was wrong inside, which made her a little scared.

…

The children opened their eyes in the darkness, but made no sound. They were afraid that it was just the devil coming back.

…

Just take a look...

With this thought, Traqi endured the vomiting smell, picked up the match on the candle holder on the wall, and lit the candle with a light stroke.

As the light flashed, Traqi could see his surroundings clearly, his face turned pale, he couldn't help but vomited, and then quickly escaped from here.

At that moment, Traqi felt that her body, which should have been weakened by fear, was supporting her to escape quickly.

I want to tell Bellucci, Kitra... and my father... Damn, this is definitely that Forner's basement... I know why the other party looks so ugly... Traqi forced this Free yourself from that hellish image.

…

"help me……"

Those children suddenly saw the beautiful sister, but the other party seemed to be frightened and ran away quickly. They could only make weak sounds, hoping to beg the other party for help.

…

"It's my turn next!" Horus came out from a corner, picked up the key on the table, and opened the iron cage.

The children did not know why another person suddenly appeared, but this did not prevent them from being happy because of Horus's behavior.

Immediately, Horus said softly: "I know you want to escape from this place, but you must know that the other party still has a lot of people outside."

Not to mention that their own physical strength was almost exhausted in the torture, those children instantly fell from heaven to hell when they heard these words.

Horus looked at the only 6 children left among them. Some of them had lost their eyes or certain parts... Horus felt that in Forner's mind, they might be described as livestock.

With a slight sigh, Horus continued: "But there are other nobles coming here outside. Some of them are not afraid of the master here. Don't run too far. Follow me. They will protect you."

A light seemed to flash in the children's desperate eyes, and one of the six-year-old boys said tremblingly and weakly: "Really!"

He is in the best condition here, but his face looks pale, and there are some marks on his body from beatings, as well as some small holes, which seem to be used for bleeding.

Horus did not bring despair to them: "Of course it is true, don't be afraid next, just follow my instructions."

"Yes, sir!" The children's eyes were full of hope, and the tears became moist again. They said with their remaining strength.

…

Walking in the corridor, Traqi felt her stomach churn and swallowed a few mouthfuls of saliva. Within a few dozen seconds, she saw several people talking not far away.

There was a flash of joy in her eyes, and she quickly stepped forward, removed the palm covering her mouth, and said hurriedly: "Bellucci, Kitra!"

The two gorgeously dressed aristocratic ladies looked at Traqi who was in a bad situation and quickly asked: "Traqi, what's wrong with you?"

Traqi shook his head, and then said: "Hurry up and tell my father Melari, and by the way, there are others... Forner murdered those children in the basement."

Bellucci and Kitra were her friends and also belonged to the Mailari faction, so Trachi told them the truth.

To be honest, if she only read about this in the newspaper, Traqi might not care so much, because those civilian children have nothing to do with her.

But now, this kind of thing happened in front of her. Even if she usually turned a blind eye to the homeless people begging on the street, it was difficult to pretend that nothing happened.

Not to mention, her father Mailari could use this incident to ruin Forner's reputation, after all, there were so many nobles present.

If there is no evidence, even if they know what Forner has done, those nobles will not pay attention to this kind of thing, but will easily get into trouble.

But now, there is.

Bellucci and Kitra were stunned for a moment, and then under Traqi's explanation, one went to inform their father, and the other went to inform the others.

Traqi breathed a sigh of relief, but still did not dare to stay here. He just walked quickly with her and her two friends, but found that every once in a while, there were nobles chatting there.

And it’s from their faction!

In this way, they quickly notified those people, and some brave nobles even went directly to the destination.

…

Horus placed the children outside Room 341, with several skeletons protecting them.

The children's original fear of the skeletons turned into gratitude to the god of death, and they were grateful to the messenger of death who summoned the skeletons.

However, as time passed, Horus felt something was wrong. According to his estimate, it would take about 10 minutes to get here from the banquet hall.

But now, before four minutes had passed, someone approached here, and Horus hid immediately, but did not evacuate the skeletons.

…

"Oh my God!"

The nobles who saw the skeletons and the children not far away exclaimed instantly. They were relatively brave, so when Trachi told them about this, they came here immediately.

"God of death, what did I see?"

Yuri's belief in the god of death is deeply rooted. Even though many nobles do not believe in the god of death now, they occasionally talk about it in daily conversations.

The male nobles were relieved when they saw that the skeletons did not react. Only then did they really notice the children.

Even though they were cold-blooded, it was hard for them to imagine what happened to these children to make them so miserable.

But at the same time, they were also happy. If this matter went well, then Forna would step down, and their family could also get a share of the pie.

As time passed, a large number of nobles had gathered around. The Merari faction and the Forna faction were in a stalemate.

And the children were a little afraid, like monkeys being watched, but they didn't dare to speak, because they remembered that the messenger of death told them that they could only speak when someone asked them.

At this time, Forna seemed to have received the news and rushed over in an instant.

Forna's face was black at this time. He couldn't figure out why he was exposed. He remembered that he had arranged a superhuman to monitor this room, and the entire banquet hall was also surrounded by his eyes.

Logically, he could have reacted before others came here, and then arranged for people to stop them, and then clean up these traces.

But it seemed that everything went wrong.

Before he received the news, others had gathered here.

At this moment, Forna smelled the breath of conspiracy. Someone wanted to attack him, and he had long lost control of the surroundings.

Seeing Forna, Mai Lali said in a deep voice: "Forna, I didn't expect you to be such a person. If you become the city lord, then the people imprisoned in the basement will not only be those children, but the people of Xisong."

Forna stared at his opponent Mai Lali, with a flash of violence in his eyes. Although this may happen in the future, it is all illusory now, and the other party is trying to black him anyway.

"That's right, Viscount Forna, I didn't expect you to have such a dark personality."

"We will tell this matter to Lord Ganar, and the people of Xisong will know your true face."

...

The nobles began to make a fuss.

"I'm a little worried. If Forna becomes the city lord, will those of us who disobey his orders also be imprisoned in the basement and subjected to cruel punishment..."

When these words came out, even Forna's allies showed strange colors on their faces, and some strangeness in their hearts.

No one wants their controller to be a cruel and ruthless person, because that means that once they anger the other party, they are likely to lose their lives, which is unacceptable to them.

Forna was almost losing his mind at this time. He fully understood that this matter was out of control.

He didn't say all the people present, at least some people also did this kind of thing, but this kind of thing was done secretly.

Even if he was discovered, he could perfunctorily explain it as a slave. After all, the nobles had control over the slaves, and others couldn't say anything.

However, now he has understood that someone has already killed him, and this can no longer be perfunctorily passed.

So, Forna had the urge to kill everyone at this moment. On the contrary, these nobles came to the banquet at this time without too many guards around them.

If he killed them here, no one in Xisong would be able to resist him, and he, Forna, was Xisong's master.

Watching the people around him performing like clowns, Forna showed a hideous smile, and then a patchwork of rotten corpses rushed in instantly and started to slaughter.

Everything happened so quickly that even Mai Lali couldn't believe it. Forna was so decisive and killed them directly.
