Chapter Fifty-Six: The Fire Descends
Luo Ning's expression darkened, and he shook his head and said, "The person in charge of the furnace is not officially located in me. In fact, when I teleported from the Goddess Palace to the Sky Forge that day, the other Sect Masters in it had all been killed by a lizard-like Outer Heaven Demon!
Lena didn't expect such a tragedy to happen, and hurriedly got up and apologized: "I'm sorry!
Luo Ning waved his hand and smiled: "It's okay, it's all in the past." And what you said is right, if the end of the fire is approaching today, with my nature, it is impossible to stay out of it. I have come here for two purposes, one of which is to loot your royal treasure house and take all the precious materials that can be used!"
Lena grinned and said, "It's okay to take it away, let's trade fairly." As long as the price you offer makes me excited, the entire Goddess Palace can give it to you!"
Luo Ning's expression was solemn, and he lowered his voice and said, "My price is related to my second purpose here. Lena, Duke Logan's widow, you probably don't know about it, do you?!"
Lena's expression froze when she heard this, and a fierce color flashed in her eyes: "Duke Logan's widow? do you mean Julia Winston, who disappeared earlier, and she's still alive?"
"Not only is he alive, but he is also mixed with the people of the Star Temple, and it seems that some conspiracy is brewing. A friend of mine happened to find out where she was—Snow Lion Ridge, Red Maple Castle! If the information was correct, the head of the Star Temple, the Star God who should have died on Dongxian Island, was also with her. If you need it, I can personally help you get the former Duchess back alive. ”
Lina sneered twice, and her voice softened: "You don't need to be captured, just kill and crush the soul directly after seeing it! You are one of my most trusted people, I don't need to doubt you!"
"Hehe, flattered!" Luo Ning was not polite to her, leaned back on the soft sofa and said with a smile: "Then Your Majesty Lina, what is the price? You must know that what you got this time is the opportunity for a great magistur-level powerhouse to take action in person! Hehe, the price can't be too low!"
Lena shook her head and smiled: "Don't worry, as long as you can see it, I am willing to offer it with both hands!!"
"I refuse!"
Luo Ning was the first to speak, choking Lina's eyes and her face flushed.
"You're asking me what I'm going to do to stop the Doomsday Fire?!"
Lena pouted unconvinced, but could only nod obediently.
"It's useless. From your point of view, my solution is nothing short of whimsical! You just need to know that I am in dire need of precious materials!"
Lina thought for a moment, glanced at Luo Ning indignantly, and took out a key from the space ring: "Follow me! This is the treasure house key of the Morrowind royal family! Let's go to the treasure house to choose! But if you fancy it, I will never pick the door!" 228 Literature Network
"A word is a deal!" Luo Ning got his wish and happily got up and followed.
A day later, the southern part of the Snow Lion Territory on the western border of the Morrowind Kingdom. Luo Ning stood on the back of the iron-winged white dragon, and then under the cover of the clouds, overlooking the magnificent ancient castle directly below. Suddenly, as if he had discovered something, a sneering smile appeared on his face.
"Master, have you discovered that Extraterrestrial Demon?" Bai Xue's voice was slightly immature. After all, compared to the long lifespan of hundreds or thousands of years of dragons, Bai Xue, who had just learned to speak, was only less than ten years old, equivalent to a baby in a human race.
"It's just that I found the breath of the star god, and it may not be the essence of the star god. It's not real here, let's find a chance to sneak in and see what the hell this duchess is trying to do!!"
Ronin had wanted to enter Red Maple Fort by stealth, but as soon as he approached the moat surrounding the castle, he rushed to the front and there was a hidden but continuous wave of magical power. If it weren't for his vigilance, he would have really fallen into this trap.
"Magic Enchantment, and there are two layers inside and outside?!Hmph, this woman has arranged such a tight defense in her residence, and she really has a ghost in her heart!" Luo Ning sneered and turned over and grabbed the fence next to the moat, and a devouring force was condensed in his palm, but in a few seconds, he unknowingly opened a hole in the surface of the magic enchantment and drilled into it.
Outside the Red Maple Fort was a grassland full of redbud flowers, and Luo Ning had just passed by here, and all he could hear was the gentle sound of the breeze blowing through the grass. However, when he entered the Red Maple Castle, he immediately heard the noisy and noisy sounds of fighting and shouting. Sealing the hole in the barrier, Ronin flew up a stone wall to an arrow tower on the outer level of the castle. The soldiers standing guard on the arrow tower were concentrating on the lively scene in the outer courtyard at this time, and they were completely unprepared for the sneak attack behind them, and were instantly put to the ground by Luo Ning.
Glancing at the soldier's face, Luo Ning secretly screamed in his heart that he was lucky, and then took out a magic mask and put it on, turning into a gray-haired middle-aged man who was seven or eight points similar to this soldier.
Picking up the weapon shield on the ground and looking into the courtyard, Luo Ning couldn't help frowning.
The sound of fighting he heard just now was actually two groups of soldiers wearing black and red armor practicing battle. What made him unhappy was that the number one hundred and ten soldiers in black armor had a dark golden four-pointed star engraved on their backs. He had seen this pattern many times on that group of Star Hall Heavenly Kings, so he could guess the origin of this group of black-armored soldiers at a glance.
And the belonging of the group of soldiers in red armor is also easy to distinguish. When you see the red dragon on their chests outlined in black lines, you can understand: they are all elite troops under the Duchess.
The two groups of soldiers who were fighting were still a minority, and many more soldiers were standing around the courtyard to watch the excitement. In the courtyard, about the size of a football field, there were more than a thousand heavily armed soldiers. If the Duchess hadn't planned something, the fat pigs in the pigsty wouldn't have believed it! You know, the population of Morrowind Kingdom was not as prosperous as the kingdom of Ronin in his previous life. Even if it is a full number of royal city guards, there are only one or two hundred people. The elite troops of the First Legion of the Arch Guardian Morrowind Royal Clan had an establishment of only three thousand.
"Hmph, it's all this time, is this duchess still thinking of rebelling and overthrowing the Morrowind royal family?! However, these miscellaneous fish alone are probably not enough for those strong people to warm up, right?!"
As soon as Luo Ning thought of this, he sneered and continued to observe, and sure enough, he waited for several big shots to appear.
One of the two men who walked out of the inner layer of the castle, dressed in a long black dress with a black veil, bowed to her when she walked into the sidelines, and it was none other than Duke Logan's widow: Julia Winston. The man next to her was wrapped in a purple robe, with three golden stars on his forehead and the sides of his cheeks, like a master from the Star Temple
