The undercurrent of Maple Leaf City is surging but the public certainly has no idea it. Tomorrow is the day when the royal princess and the young Duke Chiao get married. Tonight, there is destined to be an all-night party in Maple Leaf City.
Lin Luoran travels on her sword and she is soon back to Maple Leaf City.
The capital is magnificent. The sky, the underground, and the city walls are all well-guarded. Even the spiritual mind scan will trigger the alarm.
The Nami Alliance is not a frill. Nami Star has shown the signs of weakening for hundreds of years. However, its royal family is still there and it also has advanced technology. As a woman who received the education before the New Era on the earth, Lin Luoran can not foresee its decline and what is happening tonight… Windsor said that the principalities had started a revolution, which showed that Duke Chiao had taken control of the palace.
The royal wedding has been canceled but others have no idea about this news. Duke Chiao Frank, who deliberately trapped Windsor in a barren mountain that day, did not seem to make that decision out of impulse.
The defense here is much stronger than the Edward and there will be no little traitor like “Xiaozhi” to help her this time. Lin Luoran frowns. She finally realizes that if the technology is advanced enough, but it will still be a huge threat for cultivators.
Maybe her personal ability is still not good enough? What’s worse, she is seriously injured now.
Lin Luoran is hidden in the crowd. Nami people in Maple Leaf City party all night and the city is filled with the fragrance of beer and bread. Many people keep watch on “Hot Girl”. Red-haired young man Derek who she hired feels very happy. He feels that the business is good today. The kid doesn’t even notice what is happening.
The most innocent people are the happiest.
Lin Luoran coughs badly and her spiritual mind gets into space to ask White Fairy if she knows some shape shifting spells.
“Only the arts of nature can help you disguise yourself. Do you think you can acquire them overnight?”
Lin Luoran is not lack of self-knowledge and she gives up this method. How can she get in the palace without being caught by guards? What helps them recognize guests seems to be a genetic lock. She will definitely be discovered before she sneaks into the palace.
Lin imagines the feeling of being locked in by weapons from all directions as soon as she appears. This is obviously more difficult than dealing with a starship in the vast interstellar—Nami Capital is a place that seems to value returning to nature a lot but actually owns countless high-tech weapons secretly.
She can not enter the palace but she still has other choices.
Anyone in the streets of Maple Leaf City can show her where Chiao is. Duke Chiao is from a principality of the Nami Empire. He has his own castle on the outskirts of Maple Leaf City. As the protagonist of the royal wedding, Duke Chiao has attracted a lot of attention. A middle-aged woman holds Lin Luoran’s hand earnestly and tells her that Princess Windsor is dignified and elegant and Lin has no chance.
Lin Luoran finds it both funny and annoying. She doesn’t know if she should feel happy that people think highly of the royal family or she should look in the mirror to check why she looks like a nympho.
There is still a lot of time before dawn. Lin Luoran follows people out of the city.
There is a custom in Nami. Families that marry the daughters should go to the wheat fields at night to pick wheat seedlings or wheat ears, which is the best blessing for the new couple. Windsor has always been a good princess in the eyes of her people. The citizens of Maple Leaf City are also willing to bless their princess.
After all, the principality is not on the Nami Star. After the princess gets married, she will follow Duke Chiao to the planet where his principality is.
The citizens of Maple Leaf City are singing and practicing ancient customs along the way. Lin Luoran follows them out of the city and then turns into another trail. The road is dark at night. No one notices this foreigner who leaves the team stealthily.
She almost merges with the night.
Duke Chiao’s castle is fifty miles away from the outskirts of Maple Leaf City. Lin Luoran finds many hidden places along the way. She simply discerns the direction and chooses to use Earth Escape. Nobles own most land outside the city. No one has so much time that he installs some detectors tens of meters underground, except for the duke who has bad intentions.
When Lin Luoran feels some kind of faint fluctuation, she knows that she arrives and jumps out of the ground.
Before she stands upright, lasers gather where she was standing. If Lin Luoran had not escaped swiftly, she would have ended up as the ground being hit into a pit with black smoke at this moment.
“You are here.”
Duke Chiao’s low but beautiful voice comes out from the third floor. There are dozens of black windows and Lin doesn’t know where he is hiding.
Lin Luoran doesn’t move at all. At least 20 weapons have locked her from her feet to her head from all directions. The most important thing is that she is trying to scan the mysterious duke with her spiritual mind for beating him with one shot. When her spiritual mind approaches where he is, it fails unexpectedly.
It is an extremely rare case that her spiritual mind fails. Maybe it is similar to the interference of the Kalahari Desert underground world?
Anyway, Lin Luoran “looks” all the way. The exterior wall of the towering castle is covered with faint golden and pink light. The castle seems to be coated with some special unknown substance.
Is this substance specially made to prevent cultivator or just for an alien with great spiritual power?
“Are you feeling strange that your useful spirit power scan is useless at this moment?”
Duke Chiao’s voice echoes in dozens of semi-circular windows. With sarcasm and gloom in his voice, even his “hearty” smile sounds cold.
“Every member of the Hidal family gets a family crest when he is born. It represents the glory of the Hidal family and every family member should always carry it. It has only one function, transmitting the picture back to the family when its owner’s physiological function is in danger. For one thing, it asks for help. For the other thing, it is for taking revenge in the future. ”
Lin Luoran coughs violently. She is no stranger to such things. Huaxia, which got the inheritance of Yulee Civilization Technology 300 years ago, also developed similar devices.
Civilizations among alliances have a lot in common. She is not afraid that her murder will be exposed but the background of the one whom she killed is beyond her expectation. However, she has learned one thing. To deal with people from the Star Alliance, she must burn devices like these on them before she starts.
“So, you have already known that it’s me who killed your brother?”
Duke Chiao laughs gently with a twisted voice. Lin Luoran really hopes he can keep laughing. In this case, she can identify his position soon. Unfortunately, the laughter stops abruptly. There is actually no more sound from Duke Chiao who is hiding in the castle.
“It’s useless to feed the three of you. I always have to rely on a fairy to help me…” Lin Luoran whispers. The fire phoenix feels angry out of embarrassment and it is taken away by wood wolf and silver fish. White Fairy knows that Lin Luoran is actually injured badly. She is now just pretending to be fine so she discusses the plan with her.
Lin Luoran listens and moves a little bit as the fair says. Her body disappears in the gunfire and escapes into the ground.
White Fairy changes into Lin Luoran. She is like a burst of light smoke drifting towards the castle. Artillery fires on her. As a fallen mighty of the Misty Peaks on the earth, White Fairy is really lucky to witness bombs which are like tiny dust for her on the other side of the stars after a thousand years. She doesn’t know how she should react.
She is not a real person with flesh and blood but a soul without roots and five elements. Even if her body is blown up, there is no actual harm to her as long as it is not the power that can dissolve souls.
Commanders in the castle stand serious. They can’t figure out what creature can resist gunfire with flesh and blood.
“Duke, our enemy seems to be abnormal.”
There is no one in front of him. This handsome and gloomy young man is so cautious that he is not in the defense control room.
“Well, you guys are totally trash. The thing coming for the castle now is not the woman at all!”
Looking exactly the same doesn’t mean anything. There is no sign of life but a pure energy fluctuation.
When Chiao gets angry, White Fairy has already submerged into the outer wall of the castle. Those attacks come to an abrupt end because there is no reason to beat their own men.
The outside and the inside of the castle are both well-guarded.
Duke Chiao is moving. He has set up many barriers for the White Fairy. At first, he is at a loss until a weird-looking instrument appears.
After adjusting the wavelength for a while, the person operating the instrument is pleased to see that “Lin Luoran” has slowed down. There is even a painful expression on her face.
“Increase the output!”
Lin Luoran frowns under the ground. Her spiritual mind is still blocked outside the castle. With the “eyes” of White Fairy, she can still see the situation inside the castle.
Are the painted walls of the castle and the strange-looking instruments aiming at the soul body just some coincidences?
A blue sword light rushes forward. Chiao finally laughs loudly, “Isn’t she just a cultivator? Do you think there is not a cultivator in our Hilda family?!”
Lin Luoran feels that her whole body is almost frozen in the soil. It is Baojia who comes with the sword.
Baojia belongs to the same family as Duke Chiao? Chiao’s sudden revolution, the paint layer of the castle, the instrument which can harm souls…the previously unexplainable situation suddenly becomes clear. These things have to be done by a designer who knows cultivators very well.
Nolan Mancia lands and points her sword at where Lin Luoran is hiding, “Come out. Don’t force me to do it.”
Lin Luoran is kind of lost. For Baojia’s new life, she has long prepared and she is ready for the long process of re-establishing friendship. However, even if she is nourished by Reiki on Mount Penglai for another three hundred years, she will never predict that they will meet again one day as enemies but not friends.
