Restarting Life After Forcibly Marrying the Demon King

The cat's tail was stained with sewage. Nicole lifted the tail weakly and sniffed again.

Her wrists were bound by chains, and she could only use her arms to wipe away her tears.

She lowered her head and apologized softly to the old man in the next cell.

"I'm sorry, Grandpa Village Chief..."

"Hey, you are so far away from the village, and you stand alone on the hill... You could have escaped the clutches of the empire."

"Sorry……"

"Forget it, there's no need to apologize..."

The old man sighed helplessly, and after a moment of silence, he asked again.

"I'm just curious, why don't you go?"

Nicole pinched the hem of her clothes, and tenderly glanced at the old grandma who was sleeping beside her with red eyes.

She responded in a low voice: "Because, there are important people..."

"Only at home can we wait for important people... If Nicole moves away without authorization, important people will not be able to find Nicole."

"An important person..."

The aged village chief sighed, looking at the vast night sky outside the window with cloudy eyes.

"But you've all been arrested now. For you, it's hard to see important people again."

"Well... Nicole is sorry for the master... Nicole will apologize to the master, if we can see each other again..."

………………

"This is the main city of the Crotal Empire—Clotar City?"

Looking at the brightly lit city-state not far away, Luo Ning muttered to himself.

Unfortunately, Luo Ning did not meet Maria and the others on the way.

Fortunately, he successfully found the main city of the Crotal Empire.

It seems that there is nothing special about the main city of the empire.

The only word that can describe it is...big.

The larger and denser buildings are too vast to see the edge.

The sight at night is still too dark, and the angle of looking down will be hindered. Apart from feeling big, I can't see anything special at all.

This is the entire human continent, and it can even be said to be the most prosperous center in the world. Luo Ning is always a little curious.

But in fact, he is not very interested in this place.

If he hadn't wanted to find Nicole and Maria, he probably wouldn't have come to this place.

"The royal family of the empire..."

Luo Ning fixed his eyes on the huge castle in the center.

Like all main cities, the ruler and the most majestic buildings of the main city of the empire are still built in the central location.

Only, there is a slight difference.

this height...

The sky-reaching towers have no apex in sight.

The towering buildings seem to take the entire sky for themselves.

It is clearly something that emerges from the lowest ground, but it is touching the sky with its hands, wishing to reach the stars and hold the moon.

Such a height undoubtedly reveals the empire's ambitions, or in other words, its ambitions.

It's a pity that Luo Ning has no interest in the royal family in that castle.

He is not yet able to directly attack the royal family of the empire.

When one royal family falls, tens of thousands of royal families will stand up.

Even if the current emperor dies on the throne, for the empire, it is only necessary to elect another emperor.

And in those endless turmoil, only the common people suffered.

Cutting the weeds requires eradicating the roots, and Luo Ning will not act rashly until he has grasped all the 'roots' of the enemy.

They are in the light, while Luo Ning is in the dark.

Including this surprise attack, it is better to end as soon as possible.

"Crack,"

As Luo Ning kept approaching the sky above the main city of the empire, a sound similar to glass cracking entered Luo Ning's ears.

He was quite familiar with this sound.

This is the sound of shattered enchantment magic that will be produced every time he pushes away from Lilulu's room.

Luo Ning sighed badly, grabbed the white feather dragon's feathers and landed.

After all, this is the most prosperous city-state of human beings, and the magic technology is at the top of the world. It is normal to set up a few defensive magic.

However, Luo Ning didn't expect that this kind of magic would be so fragile that it would break when touched.

Fortunately, Luo Ning didn't find anything unusual except for the crisp cracking sound.

He landed the White Feathered Dragon on the ground.

The outermost circle of the main city of the empire is a place similar to the suburbs. It is not as prosperous as it is close to the central city.

There are very few houses, and there are no people on the street. It is deserted, only a few street lamps that are not bright enough emit light on the side of the street.

Luo Ning opened the song of Leviathan, and covered the white feathered dragon with a layer of invisibility magic.

"Follow me and don't make any noise."

"... Chirp?" Bai Yulong tilted his head.

"If you don't want to be stewed by a big dragon in an iron pot, just shut up obediently."

Luo Ning's eyes could see through the invisibility magic, and the white feathered dragon hiding behind him heard it, retracted its wings, and silently shrank behind Luo Ning's buttocks.

It folded its wings and took a sneaky step, looking very much like a chick hiding behind an old hen.

452 Who is Your Master

Luo Ning searched all the way to the entrance of the dungeon from the suburban streets of the main city of the empire.

Just don't go too smoothly.

There are even signs on the ground to guide him.

Although those road signs hanging on the street pointing in all directions are most likely just guide signs.

However, this is the first time for Luo Ning who came to the main city of the empire, and it can even be said that he came to attack the main city of the empire at night...

Is it a little too easy?

It was as if something was guiding him.

When Luo Ning entered the city, he clearly felt that some kind of defensive magic had been broken, but in the end it had no effect at all.

The guards surrounding the city wall were more like decorations, and they didn't notice the arrival of Luo Ning, an unexpected guest at all.

Although Luo Ning felt strange, he didn't think much about it.

Follow the signposts and walk forward.

Luo Ning didn't go far.

He stopped in front of the dungeon called 'Elan Judgment Asylum'.

Standing at the entrance of the dungeon, Luo Ning thought about the eye-catching wooden sign with red letters and the bottomless underground passage.

The wall skin here has decayed to scum, and there is no one to handle the huge dungeon door.

It even opened it directly, as if welcoming Luo Ning's entry.

This reminded Luo Ning of what he had encountered in the Holy See of Light.

The reason why they captured Maria and Nicole was to lure the snake out of the hole.

Although they did have such a purpose, it was only possible to attract the old king of Elan King City to surrender.

It should have nothing to do with Luo Ning.

Even if the empire wanted to do this, it would be impossible to count on Luo Ning.

Few people in the entire human continent knew Luo Ning's identity and power, and it was even more impossible for this group of people from the distant empire to know.

Therefore, Luo Ning felt that he was just thinking too much.

Furthermore, even if this is really a trap specially prepared for Luo Ning, Luo Ning will choose to step into it.

In order not to startle the snake, he chose a safe and low-key approach.

But if no one can be found, Luo Ning doesn't mind turning this place upside down.

Luo Ning waved to Bai Yulong, and then walked in on his own.

Since the White Feather Dragon needs to be covered with invisibility magic all over its body, Luo Ning specifically told it to keep half a meter away from him and not to touch Luo Ning.

But this dragon is very cowardly, so big he is blind for nothing.

It forcibly rolled itself into a ball, Luo Ning took a step, and Bai Yulong rolled forward.

Luo Ning didn't bother to take care of this little coward.

Along the long, dark steps, he went all the way down.

………………

"You are all the names of the villages that live around the Elan King City, right?"

In the dim cell, silver moonlight fell through the narrow iron window.

Anxiety and fear spread here.

Even in the middle of the night, it is difficult to fall asleep.

"you are……?"

The old man grabbed the cold iron bars, tried to squeeze his eyes through the gap, and struggled to recognize the woman in the prison next door.

The woman sat on a slab of hay and sighed wearily.

"His Majesty the King wants me to come out to investigate and then sneak you into the safe royal city. However, the speed of the imperial army is too fast, and I am one step too late."

The woman is tall and tall, with brown hair and brown eyes, and she has no obvious characteristics.

The old man looked at Maria in disbelief, and after a while of identification, he opened his mouth in surprise.

"Are you...Principal Maria of...Saint Zemaria College?"

Combined with the fact that the other party was detained today and was detained in the same prison as them, the old man quickly recognized the other party's identity.

In fact, Maria's appearance is very recognizable. She is the principal of the highest academy in the entire Kingdom of Elan, and is a close confidant of His Majesty the King. She is considered a celebrity in Elan King City.

Maria shook her head and looked at the moonlight outside the window.

"Whether it's the principal or a commoner, I'm the same as you. As long as I'm imprisoned here, that's the bargaining chip that the Crotal Empire will use to negotiate with the Kingdom of Elan..."

Maria's eyes revealed the helplessness and remorse.

"I'm still too reckless..."

Maria murmured, her eyes swept over the dozens of cells.

She felt that if her life was risked, it would be risked, even if she was executed here, it didn't matter.

But there are still many women and children of the Kingdom of Elan imprisoned here, and these children are all innocent.

But even so, Maria still hopes that His Majesty the King can treat it rationally and not be as reckless as her.

After all, there are tens of thousands of lives in Wangcheng that need to be protected.

"Principal, if you are imprisoned here...then the king, the city lord..."
