It's not the protagonist, what does it matter if you are trapped in the Shura field

Chapter 522 Ayi Ning's Glance Back

After saying this, Baron Rizzan did not die in front of Lowe.

This made Luo Wei subconsciously nervous, thinking that he would have to pay a price for hearing it.

But these people are really crazy in another sense, pursuing alien demons, and creatures from other worlds to descend upon them and transform their bodies. After the other party had confessed everything that needed to be confessed and everything about the ritual was recorded, Luo Wei had the magic projection of the interrogation sent to Lord Red Needle, and Baron Rizzan was imprisoned.

He also kept a copy of the ceremony.

This is a rather complicated ceremony, requiring as many as 88 participants. The number of people who assist in the planning is even higher if you include them. This explains why the agent was not able to capture all these people after the ceremony was completed. This is comparable to the protective formations of some temples. It is amazing that this ceremony could be successfully carried out silently.

And such a ceremony cost 88 lives just to get a word?

"When all revelations are complete, the Red Devouring Star will descend on time."

What does this mean?
Peering into fate does come at a price, and from an occult perspective, this is a typical timing prophecy, similar to the structure of “when…conditions are met, then…execution occurs.”

However, two time concepts are mentioned here. "When everything is revealed" seems to imply an adjustable time interval, while "on time" is an absolute concept.

This has a meaning in mysticism.

If the "coming of the Red-Eating Star" is regarded as an absolute concept, then to some extent it is inevitable, and "the revelation of everything" is just a countdown.

What's more, this is itself a foreshadowing ritual.

Just like "there must be a war on the mainland during this period", this was the prophecy about the stars that Luo Wei knew in the last round, and there must be a profound causal relationship among them.

And the one who can understand all this...

That face flashed through his mind subconsciously, and Luo Wei's face darkened and he shook his head. He usually didn't believe in the guidance of the stars or fate the most. He was now prepared for the possibility that the guy would not come back.

Then it's up to him to interpret it.

He had no idea about the first half of the sentence, but as for this "Red Devouring Star" - he might know something.

That's not certain.

Referring to the upcoming fire in Melendelle.

There is still no conclusion on what happened in the last round. The fire is only a manifestation of chaos, not the essence. Given the current situation, anyone could be the one to ignite the fire. Preventive measures can minimize the impact of the fire. As for whether the "Red Devouring Star" refers to a certain person or force among them, Luo Wei cannot interpret it.

It is worth noting that the Grand Duke knew what he was investigating and did not hide this fact.

Otherwise, he would never have the chance to contact Baron Rizzan.

What exactly is this blood-red lion planning?
……

Melendel, Golden Wind Tavern.

After inquiring with Red Needle Man about the situation, Lowe called Ryan, Kidd and Goodman to the tavern.

Ryan was silent for a while after listening.

"A fire broke out in the capital?" Kidd asked in astonishment.

"Ah."

In fact, Rowe had asked Nununi to spread similar rumors in various taverns in the royal capital yesterday. If Lord Red Needle's idea was to let them know and then leave them with the mess of explaining to the public, then he might have miscalculated, because Rowe would never take the bait.

People should have the right to know.

But this matter must not be done in the name of the princess and the little devil. This is the capital of Lion Garden, with a population of more than one million. The two people with higher power are indifferent and tell people to seek refuge without any basis. Not to mention who will support these people, it is easy to cause a riot and leave the capital of a country as big as the continent empty. The consequences are no joke.

Once the backlash comes, no matter how high Loveli's reputation is now, she will suffer a heavy loss.

"I've heard similar rumors," Ryan nodded, "I didn't expect such a thing to be written in the prophecy."

"The delegation is fine," Kidd shrugged. "It's all thanks to the fact that we're working for the Fifth Princess. Although these clever old guys have sensed a change in the wind, they don't feel nervous."

"Lowei, what do you think about this fire?" Ryan looked at him and said.

Luo Wei closed his eyes in thought.

It is indeed difficult for the delegations of various countries to do anything wrong under the constraints of this round of sword fighting competition, but apart from this, there are too many conditions that can trigger fate, and the Third World must be waiting for such an opportunity.

What they want is definitely not as simple as a big fire. This may indicate that there is some information they are eager to obtain.

He had already solved the troublesome part in private. It would be better not to let Lovely know about this matter. Otherwise, if she was pushed into a situation where she had to explain the situation to the public, she would be in a dilemma on whether to take the initiative to guide them to evacuate, and her opponents would also know that they had obtained the intelligence.

"First, pay attention to the recent suspicious movements in the city," Luo Wei said as he looked at them, "Since it has come to this, we will always be able to catch something."

"Okay." Ryan nodded without hesitation.

"Then I will be responsible for confirming the intelligence of various countries on the mission side," Kidd smiled and shook his head, "Oh, this is not an easy task."

After Ryan and Kidd left, only Lowe and Goodman, who remained silent, were left at the table.

"I didn't realize you had such a strong sense of justice." Goodman smiled.

"what?"

"As for notifying the public," Goodman glanced at him, "you were the one who spread the news, right? This was an unnecessary action for you."

"What are you thinking about?" Luo Wei said coldly, crossing his arms. "I just don't want the situation to become too chaotic."

"So that's how it is," Goodman grinned, holding his glass, and changed the subject, "Do you often find this kind of purposeful excuse to convince yourself to do good things?"

Luo Wei shook his head and looked at him helplessly, "I didn't ask you to come here to listen to your sarcastic remarks."

Goodman smiled and didn't mention it again. He raised his head and drank a glass of wine, then looked at the other party and said, "You asked me to come here to ask what I think about that prophecy, right? Unfortunately, I didn't inherit my knowledge in this area, so I can't give you an answer."

"When all revelations are complete, the Red Devouring Star will descend on time."

He put down his wine glass and shook his head unconsciously, feeling that he could not interpret as much as the other party.

Luo Wei was not even surprised. He looked at the newly served pudding, hesitated for a moment, and slowly pushed it to the side of the table.

Since the stars are mentioned in the foreshadowing.

Although this sounds a bit unbelievable, and probably no one would ask the moon directly about this matter, but the moon is still a celestial body, right?
The moon looked at it and shook its head.

Ok.

After waiting for a long time without getting the expected answer, Luo Wei, in a desperate attempt to find a solution, did not intend to force it and took back the manuscript related to the ceremony.

Until Rowe left.

Goodman still looked in the direction he left, smiled and said, "This kid is really good, isn't he?"

"..."

"We can't let him bear all the consequences alone when encountering this kind of thing," Goodman said seriously, looking away. "After all, this is also our business. Is there nothing we can do to help?"

The untouched glass of wine on the table moved slightly, and the wine inside slowly flowed out in lines onto the table, forming special rune characters.

"Yes."

Then the wine faded away and turned into new words.

"Now, someone is waiting for him."

……

After confirming once again that there was no new movement from Red Needle Lord, Luo Wei went to more than a dozen taverns to confirm people's response to the rumors. After a busy day, Luo Wei got into the carriage and pondered over Red Needle Lord's intentions.

What was his purpose in revealing the foreshadowing to himself, if he did not want to tie them onto the moral battleship?
There are pros and cons to choosing to convey the news of the fire to the public. As he told Goodman, this will prevent the situation from being too chaotic, but the flow of information will also make the opponent more alert, which is equivalent to the opponent not knowing that they know the prophecy, but everyone knows the appearance of the fire. But there is no other way.

It is difficult to turn a big ship around. Loveli has grown into such a powerful force this time. She can't take all the good things without taking any responsibility. Even if those two choose to play dead, as the new favorites of the royal capital whose power is not yet stable, she has to express her position. If she leaves it alone, it is more likely to cause great trouble in the future.

Before we knew it, the carriage arrived at the station.

Luo Wei rubbed his forehead and jumped off the carriage. The bustling streets were no different from before. It seemed that even if people knew about the fire, they were willing to stick with the city.

However, the prices of fire-fighting materials may increase recently.

Taking advantage of the dusk scenery, Luo Wei stepped into the building next to the Adventurer's Guild, greeted the knight inside, and went up the stairs to the second floor.

He turned the handle, originally just intending to come over to take a look, but the person inside was sitting behind the table in a daze, and didn't come to his senses until he came in.

"What's wrong?" Luo Wei looked at her and said with a smile.

Ayi Ning: "...!"

She stood up from the chair as if she suddenly woke up, walked quickly to his side but passed him, and turned around with her back against the door handle.

"You..." She looked at Luo Wei hesitantly, "Can you go to the inner room for a while?"

Luo Wei heard the sound of her locking the door with her hands behind her back and was stunned for a moment.

"……it is good."

When he walked into the inner room of the office, Ayining closed the door for him without hesitation, which made Luo Wei even begin to suspect whether she was going outside to sharpen her knife.

…Not really?
He waited inside like this for a while. He couldn't hear any noise from outside, and after a while, even the lights were turned off.

Luo Wei: "..."

He was sweating coldly. It was obviously she who was hesitant. It wouldn't be like this that she would end up like this, right?

Luo Wei came to the door and knocked tentatively.

"Can I come in?"

no respond.

He took a tentative look at the window in the inner room, considering the possibility of escaping by jumping out of the window, but he still knocked on the door again.

"If you don't answer, I'll open the door and come in."

After waiting for five seconds, Luo Wei gently turned the handle.

There is no lock.

The office was pitch dark. I don't know what she used to cover the windows. It was pitch dark. But this was not a problem for Luo Wei.

Just as he closed the door behind him and was about to use his golden pupils to confirm the environment, lanterns suddenly lit up in the entire room.

"?"

lantern?

Before he could confirm, the sound of a piano suddenly rang out, and a young girl in an oriental robe turned her back to him and slowly turned towards him.

Luo Wei's eyes paused for a moment.

The girl was obviously dressed up carefully. I had never seen her wearing such traditional clothes and hair accessories on her head. She was incredibly beautiful under the light of the lanterns.

The girl stared at him.

Suddenly, in this scene where the lights were just coming on, she became the most breathtaking scene.

Luo Wei could not help but stare in amazement, and as the sound of the piano became more graceful, the girl's figure also danced before his eyes, as light as a delicate bird, and as soft as flowing water.

A light lift and a flick of the sleeves;

A lean, a pull, a glance back.

The graceful waist, slender enough to be held in one hand, was presented before him in the most gentle posture. The clothes fluttered in the dance, and she descended into the world in an otherworldly manner.

Luo Wei forgot to blink for a moment.

And when this scene slowly froze in an instant, the girl looked back under the light, and he seemed to see a glimpse of a beautiful woman.

The gaze finally fixed on him.

"I thought about picking something more... that, but I ended up choosing this one."

"I... really shouldn't have left you alone."

"I don't know if this...will satisfy you?"

Luo Wei's eyes never left her.

He walked up slowly and gently pulled her hand. Ayining's eyes trembled slightly, and she leaned into his arms.

She gently placed her hand on his chest.

"I like you, Luo Wei...I don't want to be separated from you."

She was responded by the warm lips that leaned over, and the two embraced and kissed each other. At this moment, there was no need to say anything more.

Ayining's eyelashes trembled slightly as she concentrated on indulging in his scent. Even if she had to do this behind her sister's back, she could no longer sit back and watch her feelings being possessed by someone else.

Their kiss became more and more passionate. Luo Wei put his arm around her waist and led her towards the table where they usually sat.

Ayining naturally knew what he wanted to do.

This time, she didn't shirk her responsibility.

"Actually, the hem of this dress..." She blushed and turned to the side, "Actually, you..."

Luo Wei had already noticed that compared to the layers of clothes she wore in the past, she was not wearing any plain clothes today.

Ayining closed her eyes and felt that there was no need for her to explain anything further.

"Easy...be gentle..."

She blushed slightly, like a graceful little bird.

…………

……

Neither of them returned to the manor that night.

In the Crownless City, on South Artisan Street, in a workshop decorated with rose and wine glass patterns, a girl covered in a rag cloak knocked on the door in the night.

The orc receptionist rubbed his eyes and opened the door after a while.

Before she could ask, the other party stretched out a slender white hand towards her, and supported her tremblingly.

"My name is... Mena von Christona."

The girl dropped the cane in her hand and spoke breathlessly.

"Please tell Luo Wei...I must see him..."
