Chapter 246: A New Plan
The secret room that the guards had entered just now was nothing more than an illusion that Fania had constructed in an ordinary room with illusion. Even Queen Irene, who was frozen in ice, was just a large chunk of ice that Ronin had piled up with magic. The real dark chamber was across the street from this room, and was magically disguised by Ronin into a huge mural several meters high.
The Ronin master and servant came to the foot of the mural, withdrew the magic, chanted a spell and pushed open the iron door to the feet of the real Queen Irene. Unlike when Ronin first saw the huge piece of ice, the outer layer of ice was as crystal clear as before, as smooth as a mirror, but the center of the ice cube was visibly hit by some kind of magical energy, becoming cratered and filled with an unknown liquid of emerald green.
Queen Irene's body was soaked in this emerald luster, frowning from time to time, her arms swaying back and forth, as if she was in a nightmare.
Ronin's gaze didn't linger on the mature carcass, which was almost completely exposed, but ordered Fanya to drag the two maids huddled together from the ground.
These two were originally Logan's spies planted by Princess Lena's side. It's just that Princess Lena is cautious on weekdays, and the magic bell is always hidden by her side to protect, so the two have never found a chance to obtain information.
When Princess Lena went out to confront Logan and the others just now, the two finally waited for a chance to get a glimpse of the princess's secrets. But just as they were about to slip into the room, they were suddenly knocked unconscious by Luo Ning from behind, their hands and feet were tied with ropes, and their mouths were blocked by Fanya with magic, and they were suddenly locked in this dark and cold secret room, and they were really frightened.
Luo Ning saw that the two of them were full of tears and snot, and his eyes were staring at him like bells, knowing that they were scared, he deliberately scratched his chin and groaned: "Well, it seems that there is no way to get useful information from the two of them." Or...... Soul searching, soul searching, you'll be able to?"
Fanya let out a sinister laugh in cooperation, quietly unenchanting the magic from their mouths, and placed her palms on the top of their heads: "Of course, my master!"
The two maids visibly felt a biting chill above their heads, as if someone had pierced their scalps with a layer of sharp ice slag, cold, numb, and stinging.
In fact, this is not a soul search, but an illusion created by Fania with illusions. But the two maids didn't know anything, only that they were about to be tragically searched, and they were so frightened that their souls did not possess their bodies, and hurriedly begged: "Let's say everything! Please let us go, we'll say everything!"
The two maids brought a big surprise to the Ronin master and servant: although they were only two minions, because of their close relationship with a middle-level person, they accidentally heard a secret thing: Prince Rogan was not a believer in the Monotheistic Religion, but he had a secret meeting with the Archbishop of Auerbach not long ago. Although the content of the meeting is unknown, Luo Ning has a hunch that Princess Lena was suddenly taken away tonight, and it must be inseparable from this matter.
In the end, Luo Ning did not let go of the two maids, because he knew very well when to be ruthless, and when to show his mercy and tolerance.
After dealing with the two of them, Fania couldn't help but complain, "It's that damn prince again! Master, you shouldn't have stopped me just now, you should have let me kill that guy!"
Luo Ning smiled bitterly: "How can it be so simple? Do you remember the necklace that Prince Logan wore around his neck?"
Fanya asked, "It's studded with rubies, shiny, and it exudes a nasty magical aura!"
"Don't underestimate this magical aura. The ruby was the work of a dwarven blacksmith in ancient times. Sealed inside is a magical forbidden spell that has been lost for thousands of years, the Radiance of the Stars! This forbidden spell has no attack power, but it can withstand five deadly attacks for its target. Do you think he's going to give us a chance to kill him six times?"
Fanya muttered unconvinced, "If I use the illusion, I can definitely do it!"
Luo Ning smiled without saying a word, raised his head and stretched: "Okay, the matter here has been settled." Next, let's go to the black market and rescue Princess Lena first. Otherwise, with the temper of the magic bell, I'm afraid I will do something stupid on impulse again!"
"Don't worry, master, she's still asleep in the academy after my hypnotism. With Wendy next to her, no accidents will happen!"
"Probably...... Ronin recalled Wendy's cold expression when she saw her holding the sleeping magic bell, and her heart was a little empty.
"Anyway, let's go quickly, and ask the old woman to help make a human skin mask in the shape of Princess Lena. ”
Fanya clapped her hands and said, "Did the master say that you let the puppet disguise itself as you before?"
"That's right, but it's not necessarily what you think!" Ronin nodded, thinking of a new plan.
When they were young, the two came to the door of the cottage where the blue-haired old lady was located in the black market in the lower city. It was early in the morning, and everything was silent. Luo Ning didn't dare to disturb the blue-haired old lady's sleep, so he wanted to wait here for a few hours. Anyway, he came by sneaking, and he wasn't afraid of being seen by someone with a heart.
He leaned against the wall of the hut, and the wooden door next to him opened by itself with a "creak". The blue-haired old lady poked her head out of the room, pinpointed Luo Ning's location, and stared at him for a few seconds: "Why are you still stunned? Get in!"
Luo Ning's face turned red, and then he realized that this old lady's perception ability was far better than his own, and he was afraid that he would be discovered by her as soon as he arrived nearby.
The blue-haired old lady poured hot tea for Luo Ning, and snorted coldly: "Although I am not as good at fighting as a young man like you, but in terms of perception ability, hum, there are no more than three people in the entire king who are better than me!
Luo Ning was not verbose, and went straight to the point: "Princess Lena was framed and captured by Prince Logan!
The blue-haired old lady smiled disdainfully: "How can you save it? Do you want me to make a human skin mask for Princess Lena, and then steal the beams and change the pillars, and replace her with your magical little puppets? Innocent little guy! Paper can't contain fire! If your little trick is discovered, it will only put the princess in more trouble! The royal family is not a felony to kill a few nobles, but it is different to disobey the king's orders! Understand?"
Luo Ning chuckled: "Of course I understand! So I didn't plan to replace Lena, but to clear her name for the roots! Although Prince Logan would find other reasons to put her under house arrest sooner or later." But at least this time, I'm going to give Lena back!"
The blue-haired old lady was amazed: "Huh, little one, what do you want to do?"
Luo Ning sneered: "There are a lot of nobles in this Shangcheng District, and after their deaths, someone has come forward to clean up these moths!"
