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

Chapter 564 The Real Culprit of the Fire in the Royal City

Under the burning tower, more than twenty agents stood oppressively in the open space.

All members of the joint delegation were covered in wounds, except for Viscount Ulysses. Only Rowe Brooke and his group who had just arrived were in good condition.

Want to fight?
Ryan didn't intend to let Rowe bear it alone. After a moment's respite, he readjusted his state, holding the sword and staring ahead with a sharp gaze.

The atmosphere on both sides was tense.

Luo Wei simply glanced at the sky and said, "You go first."

"what?"

Not only Ryan, but also Shuger, Thorin and others looked at him.

However, before they could ask why, there was a movement in the clouds, and a red meteorite tore a big hole in the sky and fell rapidly towards the direction of the giant tower.

"What!!"

Ryan looked at this scene in astonishment. The red star was like a flash of light with a long flame tail, and in the blink of an eye it fell to the top of the dark red tower.

boom! ! ! ! !
Almost at the same time, the agents immediately retreated to the side of the tower, and a huge golden-blue light curtain enveloped the other people present - that was the barrier magic cast by Vimir, and everyone in it also activated magic shields and divine powers, and raised their hands to resist the impact.

"...!!"

The girl continued to infuse magic power, and Irus supported her from behind.

The vibration in the barrier lasted for dozens of seconds, and a circular storm centered on the dark red tower swept across the entire Melendel, even the Sky Wing in the sky was affected.

Countless red flame magic eggs in the city exploded with shockwaves. Ayining finally figured out why this kind of thing was spread all over the royal city, even on the cliffs where no one would go.

Because that's part of the ritual.

Although I don’t know if it has anything to do with fate, the area covered by the flames is probably turned into some kind of ritual site, which is what the agents want.

Is this the so-called... "Red-Eating Star" coming?

When the shaking completely subsided, everyone looked up in surprise and saw a huge dark red star hanging on the top of the giant tower. Compared with the size of the tower, it looked like a ball poking on a matchstick, and it was still slowly rotating.

A strange and dark red light shone on everyone's face. It was completely different from the color of fire. It seemed as if the world was left with only this color, and everyone's expression looked wrong.

Ryan looked at the agents in astonishment.

What on earth did you summon?
"So that's how it is," the girl with long blue-silver hair in the crowd suddenly said, "This tower is really just a foundation."

"?"

All of a sudden everyone looked at her.

Not only the envoys from various countries had questioning looks on their faces, but even the agents looked at her.

Mena looked at them calmly with a dark red face: "You are not even willing to build a disguised ritual building. The purpose of this tower is only to summon the "Red Star". "

what?
Ryan had a look of surprise on his face. Listening to the words of this girl whom he had seen before, it seemed as if there was something they were still kept in the dark about.

"Let me think..." Mena looked at the reactions of the agents and said without hesitation, "Is there any other place in the city that is under the control of the enemy camp and can be used as a large-scale ceremony site facing the starry sky?"

"Eh?"

Vimir remembered the information she had heard on the way, that "Red Needle Man"...

“Hahahaha!” The red nun suddenly laughed. “Isn’t this very interesting? Doesn’t fate exclude astrologers who try to discern the truth?”

"Maybe I'm just too persistent." Mena said reasonably.

At this moment, a slashing attack vibrated through the air. Luo Wei, who was standing in place, coldly raised his sword to block it for Mena.

"So that's how it is. Are you standing there motionless, waiting for the astrologer to see the result?" asked Beixing.

"If you say so, then so be it." Luo Wei responded disdainfully.

He wasn't waiting for Mena.

But he was waiting for something else. Now the chessboard was on fire, and if the chess player didn't make a move, there would be no space for others to make moves.

Therefore, he needs to see what the other party has up his sleeve in order to know whether it will interfere with his subsequent plans.

"You go first." He looked at Ryan and others and said.

Someone who had escaped from the direction of the palace had already conveyed the news that the Lion Garden Palace had been occupied by Lord Red Needle. Ryan and Ulysses both looked in that direction for a moment, and then looked at him with serious expressions.

You actually plan to take on this situation alone?!
Under the enchanting red light, the black-haired figure seemed exceptionally calm, especially when facing the huge star, there was an atmosphere as if he was trying to turn the tide on his own.

"hehe…"

Suddenly there was a laugh in the air.

Along with the projection in the void, at the entrance under the tower, a tall young man wearing a rusty ancient coat slowly walked out.

The young man did not cover his face. He had long, gray and black hair, revealing a cold face with handsome features and a strong chin. His voice had a cold, magnetic texture.

"I didn't expect that our trick would be exposed in just a few words."

who is it! ?
Ryan and the others were stunned. They had never expected that there was someone else in the tower. The other person's aura gave people the feeling that he was completely different from that of an ordinary person.

"Who are you? Are you also an agent?!" Gavin asked as he got up.

"I'm not an agent." The young man closed his eyes and said.

The two sword masters present at the same time looked gloomy, and Ulysses's gaze was particularly deep.

Then the young man opened his silver-gray eyes and said, "Nice to meet you. I am the Execution Pillar of the Third World. You can call me Xie Lun. I can be considered the person in charge of all the agents here."

Vermeer: ​​"!"

Shaye: “!”

Ayi Ning: “!!!”

The third world... the other party actually claims to be from the third world? !

Luo Wei cast a cold look at him. Unlike his usual style, the people from the third world actually admitted it in front of them. What was he planning?

"The appearance of the astrologer did surprise me," the man named Xie Lun said calmly, "but I think what surprised me more was what happened in the Crownless City."

“What!” “What!!”

Ryan's voice drowned out Shaye. He could never imagine that the man in front of him was actually related to the incident in Wuguan City? !
Ayi Ning looked at Luo Wei calmly. Could it be...

Ah.

Luo Wei smiled coldly in his heart, he really caught a big fish.

However, we cannot take it lightly as to why the other party showed up and did such a thing.

"You are the ones behind the events in No Crown City!" Ryan said, taking a step forward with his pupils in his eyes. "You are the ones who... turned the Artisan Society into that?!"

The man named Xie Lun did not answer him.

It's not that he seems unwilling to answer, but he doesn't take it to heart.

"And now, you are controlling Grand Duke Oaklandti and trying to do something to the Royal City of Lion Garden?!" Ryan asked relentlessly.

"Haha, where does this speculation come from?" Sister Red answered him, "No one is being manipulated in this whole thing, right?"

what! ?

"Are you trying to say that the Grand Duke volunteered to help you?"

“Pfft…Hahaha, hahahaha!” Sister Red seemed to have heard something funny and couldn’t help but burst into laughter. She looked at them with such joy that she couldn’t straighten her back. “I didn’t expect…No wonder you would have such a misunderstanding.”

Everyone's face darkened.

Sister Red couldn't bear to look at them and said, "In this whole thing, the Grand Duke is a complete and utter Lion Garden loyalist."

Ryan: “!”

Thorinn: “!?”

Ayi Ning: "?"

What does it mean?
"Charlie." Xie Lun reminded her.

"I'm sorry..." Sister Red, or Charel, said, trying not to laugh. "I'm just so moved that I almost cry when I think of what the Grand Duke has done. Even if I search the entire Melendel, I'm afraid I can't find another person who cares more about the Lion Court than the Grand Duke."

"...What?" Ryan looked at the scene in astonishment.

Is Grand Duke Aucklandti a loyal subject of the Lion Court?
This... How is it possible! The Grand Duke is clearly not here right now——!
"It's okay to tell you," Xie Lun said calmly, "Red Needle Lord is not our assistant. We have someone else as our assistant, and Red Needle Lord is that person's assistant."

"Who?"

Xie Lun seemed to feel pity for those who still had such doubts, and he lowered his head and smiled.

"Prime Minister of Lion Court, Randall."

Everyone in the audience: "!!!!"

Hearing this name, everyone present was shocked for a moment!

Xie Lun explained lightly, "Because the Grand Duke cares about the Lion Court, he has always supported Randall's decision. But he also cares about the Lion Court, so he doesn't want to see Randall cooperate with us. That's why he repeatedly sent you news, hoping that you can stop this."

"But unfortunately, his actions have only made our plan more successful. The harder you try to stop us, the more successful our plan will be."

"Grand Duke Oaklandti - nothing can be changed from the beginning."

Ayining looked at Luo Wei with hesitation.

On the one hand, the Grand Duke has always supported the Prime Minister's decision, but on the other hand, he doesn't want to see Lion Garden get involved with the Third World, so he revealed the information to them... right?

This is why the Grand Duke's behavior is so abnormal... Duke Hongzhen has always been assisting Prime Minister Shiyuan as the Grand Duke, and the Prime Minister is the collaborator of the third world?
Luo Wei closed his eyes and said nothing.

But this can explain why the old monster has been silent all this time.

It wasn't like he wasn't moving at all.

Instead, the Red Needle Duke took the blame for everything, making them mistakenly believe that it was the Grand Duke who did it. So who gave them the cane, who set the fire in the arena, why the agent was nearby when the Grand Duke was attacked in the Upper City, and the information about the "Red Star" was passed to them through the Baron, and Thorinn took him to the Old City to investigate, and even found the base of the agent -

All of this, all of this, all of this——

I'm afraid this was all arranged by Randall.

Luo Wei suddenly remembered what he and Solin heard Red Needle say after he killed the Agent that night - "If you want to cooperate, you should distinguish who is the main body of the cooperation. I won't teach you this kind of thing next time."

At first I thought the Archduke was expressing his dominant position in the whole matter, but now it seems that he was clearly warning the Third World of the consequences of daring to tamper with the Prime Minister.

I didn’t expect that O’Duin, who appears to be so outspoken on the surface, is actually such a conservative and restrained person on the inside. I didn’t see that at all in the last round?

Randall took advantage of everything, including the loyalty of Red Needle Man. The so-called public execution of the agent was probably because he already knew that he could be resurrected.

Is this so...

That’s when things start to get interesting.

Everyone present was shocked after hearing this, especially Thorin, who was almost completely unable to accept such a thing and stood up shakily.

What on earth do you regard that gentleman's loyalty to the country as?!
Everyone else was so caught up in hearing the truth that the Prime Minister of Lion Court was the mastermind behind all this that even the fire that was burning the entire city right now—

Did the prime minister light the fire himself?

Ryan: "..."

Ulysses: "..."

Gavin: “…”

Xie Lun looked at their reactions and raised his hand at this moment——

"There's no need to be so sad about fate."

"Since you have all come here and witnessed this scene, it would be a pity not to use the power of the "Misfortune Star". There must be many people in the city who were struggling without waiting for rescue. As a reward, I decided to give everyone in this city a gift-"

Ryan and the others raised their heads and looked at each other in confusion.

Xie Lun's expression hardened at this moment, "That's a chance to re-roll your fate."

The next moment, Luo Wei drew out the "Salvation Prayer Dagger" and slashed at him fiercely -
