In the empty palace, only the sound of water droplets sounded out of nowhere, corresponding to Anne's self-talk. Anne glanced up at the tin puppet and chuckled, "I'm so stupid!

She sighed softly and continued to speak to the air around her about her sensitive anxiety: "You know, you iron lump! I'm scared now! I'm afraid that Brother Barry will kill me as a sacrifice for that ceremony! I'm also afraid that my father will really rescue me, which means that she handed over that treasure because of me! My father will be angry with me because of this, and I will be worse off than dead!"

"However, I will not show this fear in front of others! Hehe, my mother taught me: a really strong person will never let anyone see his weak side! Fortunately, you have no soul and can't understand what I'm saying. Otherwise, I guess I wouldn't have told you that! Hmph, I'm a good girl who is strong and brave!"

"I agree with that!"

According to your self-talk, you are suddenly interrupted by a cold boy. She looked up at the place where the voice came from in amazement, and saw a young man with red hair and black eyes approaching quickly at the entrance of the palace. Although his voice was cold, the smile that unintentionally hung on the corner of his mouth still made Anne feel reassured.

"You, who are you? You, too, are you with the Barry brothers, are you here to kill me? I, I'm not afraid of you!!!Kill if you want!!" With that, Anne closed her eyes, bit her lip lightly, and her expression was resolute.

However, just as she was waiting for death, the iron golem behind her suddenly moved. Anne only felt that her right arm was loosened, and half of her body suddenly regained its freedom. She opened her eyes and looked upwards, only to see the flames in the eyes of the tin puppet scarlet as blood, and a dazzling red beam of light condensed from her palms.

"Fania, since you're here, help me get rid of it!" Ronin called out to the demon pet who had quietly returned to the astral plane. Fania appeared, stepping forward before the red beam was about to hit Ronin, spewing out a stream of diamond breath.

Although the figure of the iron puppet is burly, it is only a low-level puppet with no emotion. As soon as the red beam touched the diamond's breath, it collapsed under the impact of the incredible energy. The diamond breath was unstoppable, rushing towards the iron golem until it pierced the head that held the energy core.

While Fanya countered the tin puppet, Ronin did not stand still, but directly ignored the guards left by Rick Barry, and came to stand in front of Anne: "You are the youngest daughter of Duke Rosen, Anne?"

Anne looked up at the red-haired boy who was struggling to squeeze out a stiff smile, and for some reason, she suddenly felt that this guy's expression was a little funny, and she couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"Ahem!" Ronin coughed dryly, deciding to abandon the stupid plan of "acting more relatable". After all, there are some things that he has no talent for, and it is difficult to do them well from beginning to end!

Anne covered her mouth, her eyes wide, for fear that her actions had angered the strange young man of unknown origin.

"Don't worry, I'm here to save you! As for your father, alas, this guy must have snuck to Rick Barry! It seems that he has never given up that half of the twin mask, what a persistent guy!"

"My father is here too?" Anne's eyes showed a hint of anticipation, but then quickly dimmed, "I was taken hostage by the Barry brothers, he must be very angry with me, right?!"

"I heard what you just said!" Luo Ning replied, which made Anne stunned when she heard this, and then her cheeks quickly turned red and hot.

"You are wrong about one thing! In my opinion, try to make yourself better, and face the powerful enemy who is far superior to you! In my opinion, you are a brave and strong good girl!!"

"Plop, plop!" Anne's heart beat fast. But she knew that it was not because she was attracted to Luo Ning, but because Luo Ning had poked at the deepest secret in her heart. Grievances, gratification, excitement, and all kinds of mixed feelings instantly blended together, making her head begin to become dizzy, until she was awakened by Luo Ning's order: "Fanya, I still have an invisibility cloak here, you take this child back to Lonely Mountain City first and wait for me! I will go back to you after solving the matter here!"

"Yes, master!" Fanya turned into an invisible cloak, smiled sweetly at the corner of her mouth, dressed Anne neatly, took her little hand and smiled: "Follow me, no matter what you see or hear, don't make a sound!"

With that, an invisible air flow appeared and circulated under the feet of the two of them, and Fania and Anne hid in the air current, floating silently and sneaking around, and soon disappeared into the palace.

"Alright, it's time for a showdown! Although I don't care about one more enemy, I still don't want her to see her father killed by me!

In his own words, Ronin took on the form of a demon hunter and followed the energy fluctuations in the air around him to the place where Duke Rosen and Rick Barry were fighting.

This is a valley-like location in the Panga Ruins, just a few hundred meters from the palace where Anne was held.

Although it was a battle, it was not until Luo Ning got closer that he realized that it was more appropriate to describe it as a one-sided attack.

Unable to use combo magic, Rick Barry is like a tiger without fangs, and his threat to Duke Rosen is greatly reduced. What's more, Duke Rosen had already seen the power of the twin masks, so he didn't give Rick Barry a chance to put on the mask at all.

After quietly leaving Ronin's side to follow Rick Barry, he did not appear immediately, but only suddenly made a move when the other party stopped to look for the traces of the two of them, activated the dark purple arm containing the power of the demon outside the sky, and launched a continuous onslaught at Rick Barry.

Rick Barry felt for the twin masks in his pocket at the first moment. However, although he touched the treasure, he did not have a chance to wear it on his face to activate the effect. Whenever he made a move, Duke Lawson would suddenly speed up his speed and swing a claw at him like a lightning bolt! Although this claw looked like nothing more than five deep purple light marks, it was not difficult to judge with Rick Barry's strength: either he would release his defensive magic with all his strength to block the deep purple light marks, or he would be torn to pieces by these light marks!

Duke Rosen even squeezed his eyebrows and quipped: "Tolke, you haven't spoken, are you reluctant to let the chicks around you risk their lives?" Hmph, now is a very moment, the more strength we gather, the safer a few of us! Don't you pick on the petty family at this time?!"
