Let's start over, Your Majesty.

Chapter 149 Ita is hiding something
"I feel like I've smelled that scent somewhere before," Mu Yue said, tilting her head.

"Does it smell familiar?" Caesar asked.

"Well"

Mu Yue closed her glasses in distress, seemingly deep in thought, before finally hanging her head in defeat.

"I can't remember, but it does feel very familiar."

Hearing her say that, Caesar seemed to come to his senses as well. Mu Yue's sense of smell was indeed more sensitive than his. At this moment, the red light did indeed carry a familiar scent to him.

But it was only a small change, and it had already changed a lot, that made him unable to respond for a while. To put it simply, it was like a familiar dish that had been mixed with various other ingredients, making it difficult to distinguish the taste.

The only thing he could sense was that this aura made him feel somewhat disgusted.

"It's a taste I don't really like," Mu Yue said, frowning.

“Indeed.” Caesar nodded.

Speaking of which, haven't I run into a lot of familiar faces lately?
Meanwhile, Muirna's struggles continued, but the red light's reaction intensified. Beads of sweat appeared on Muirna's forehead, indicating that she was also in pain.

"Organize the formation! Assist the professor!" the captain shouted.

All members of the Krall Bureau immediately sprang into action, rushing to the rooftops and unleashing binding spells.

The red light trembled underground, and then the large crack in the street expanded again, causing the earth to tremble.

Immediately afterwards, a piercing and sharp sound wave spread out from the crack, and everyone present immediately felt their internal organs begin to tremble, as if they were about to be shattered at any moment.

At this moment, the pill that Muirna had given them earlier came into play, limiting the effect of the sound waves to a single point and preventing further damage.

As for Muirna, she seemed to be struggling to control her, focusing all her energy on dealing with the threat posed by the unknown life form.

Under her suppression, the red light could no longer rampage and could only wait for the binding spell to be activated.

But just then, Muirna suddenly felt something coming from behind her.

It was a huge wave of magical light, carrying a chilling killing intent, that shot towards her. With a loud bang, it exploded within a five-meter radius of her, the shockwave billowing her coat.

She had set up defensive spells around her body, but after blocking the attack, unstable fluctuations appeared.

Her heart tightened; she clearly sensed that the spell was specifically designed to target her, carrying a corrosive power that eroded her life force. However, all her energy was focused on fighting back, and this attack was completely unexpected.

The next moment, several more cursors appeared in the darkness, hurtling towards her.

At this moment, she had no choice but to spare a move to defend herself. Just as she was about to make her move, a purplish-black figure appeared behind her in a flash, raised a long sword in his hand, blocked the attack, and split it in two, causing it to explode in mid-air.

The commotion attracted the attention of those around them, and soon most of them noticed that a tall figure shrouded in purplish-black armor had appeared in mid-air.

"That's... the legendary Night Knight?"

Someone noticed this.

In the crowd, Angori, who was maintaining the group restraint spell, opened his eyes and immediately realized that the person was the one he was looking for who had taken the Book of No Thought!

But now he needed to maintain the operation of the spell, so he could only grit his teeth and stare at his opponent.

Muirner stared at the figure, opened his mouth as if to speak, but quickly regained his composure and continued to suppress the red light.

Caesar's gaze swept through the darkness, searching for the location of the attack.

He soon discovered that on the balcony of a building, there were still remnants of magic left over from the casting of spells.

His figure vanished from everyone's sight in an instant.

"He left? Why would he be here?" the captain wondered.

Angori clicked his tongue, the sound forced out through clenched teeth:
"I'll definitely catch you next time."

The man ran to the fountain in Linhu Park, ripped off the necklace around his neck, broke free from the barrier's influence, and returned to "reality."

He was breathing heavily, rubbing his chest, and glanced back into the darkness. Finding himself unaccounted for, he headed towards a nearby building. He turned into a small alley, where a man wearing a bowler hat was already waiting for him.

"Looks like you failed?" the other person said, looking at his disheveled appearance.

"It's not that easy." The man clicked his tongue and tossed the staff he was holding onto the table.

"It's destroyed and unusable."

"What happened?" the man in the bowler hat asked, frowning.

This is a high-level spellcasting medium, how could it break so easily?
"Do you remember that Night Rider from before? The one who appeared during the Expo attack?" the man said.

The man in the bowler hat nodded.

"He appeared, and when he locked onto it, the staff seemed to malfunction; the magic fluctuated, and then it broke," the man sighed.

The man in the bowler hat crouched down to examine the staff.

"It seems to be an internal problem with overloaded spell circuits; it should be able to be fixed."

"But we don't have another chance." A hint of fear lingered in the man's voice. "This mission wasn't completed, and the master..."

“Lord Enled doesn’t need that elf to die so soon,” the bowler-hatted man said in a much lighter tone than his companion. “He just wants to teach her a lesson, to let her know what the consequences of her actions are, understand?”
Moreover, no one expected to kill her at this level; otherwise, there would have been far more opportunities to do so in the past.

The man was silent for a moment, then said, "By the way, sir, is it really alright that he offended that person?"

"You're scared? Then why did you take this mission?"

"There's a lot of money."

"Hehe." The man in the bowler hat chuckled and flicked the dust off his shoulder.

"All you need to know is that in this kingdom now, the will of the adults represents everything. That elf is nothing more than a pawn. Grinvor, Rhys, Heriel, and the Frederick family are all just pawns of the adults."

"Fatih is considered one too?" The man seemed somewhat surprised.

“Of course, I can tell you something,” the bowler hat said. “The Ferit family has already been caught red-handed by the adults. Once the plan is completed, they will all be wiped out and used as fuel for the Ungol faction. That so-called family head is just a little girl. When we get rid of Ferit, her dragon bloodline will be of great use.”

He patted his clothes and said, "Alright, look at you, you're a mess. Go home as soon as possible and get yourself ready. Hmm?"

Just then, they both suddenly felt a heavy pressure enveloping their entire bodies.

Turning around, I saw a figure in full purple-black armor slowly walking towards me from the dark end of the alley.

"?!"

Both of them stared in astonishment, and were about to draw their weapons to fight back when they were grabbed by the throat.

An oppressive aura emanated from all directions, enveloping their entire bodies. The person before them spoke in a deep, authoritative voice:
"Tell me, what leverage do you have over the Frederick family?"

"Ugh..."

The man in the bowler hat turned purplish-black and fell silent before he could answer him.

The other person at their feet was in the same situation; their bodies were protected by forbidden techniques that would automatically eliminate them at crucial moments.

"Tsk." Caesar tossed it to the ground, his face grim.

It seems that the Frederick family was also involved in this matter, but Ita has always kept it a secret from her.

According to them, they were even seriously threatened.

Was it to avoid worrying herself? Or was it for some other reason?
Regardless, I have to get involved.

However, he was given another identity.
