Chapter 712: Key
In the underground Prison Hall, at that very moment, a young man of 25 years found himself being escorted by two guards, each step echoing through the narrow staircase that spiraled downward into the dark basement.
As they descended, the oppressive atmosphere of the underground prison enveloped them. With hands bound, Charles exchanged glances with the guards and stealthily cast the [Curse of the Overlord] spell on both.
"How long have you guys been working in this place?" He started the conversation as they walked down.
The flickering torches on the damp stone walls cast eerie shadows, revealing the worn steps beneath their feet.
After a short silence, a bald guard answered without finding anything odd.
"I have been working here for over fifty years, young man. Why did you ask that?"
"I was just curious." Charles shrugged his shoulder and then added with a trace of disappointment.
