"No need." Luo Ning decisively rejected the city lord's proposal.
It's hard to say whether the lamp was engraved with magic. Luo Ning was afraid that if he touched it with his body immune to magic, the lamp might break.
He kept a little distance from the city lord, and slowly approached the ice cone in the center.
After walking in, Luo Ning was surprised to find out.
There was actually a human face in it.
160 Frozen Girl
Frozen in the middle is a girl's face.
Looking back, he could see the curled body of a girl.
The girl hugged her body, her clothes fluttered as if soaked in water, her brown hair also rose like flowing water, and her whole body was frozen.
Her eyelashes were long and thick, and they were gently closed, and at first glance she seemed to be sleeping soundly.
Luo Ning turned his gaze back to the city lord.
At this time, the city lord completely ignored the severe cold, leaning half of his body on the ice, with his eyes closed and his brows furrowed.
He obviously had a haggard look on his face, but when he touched the cold ice, he felt a little relaxed and moved.
The person frozen here must be the close relative of the city lord. Judging by the age difference, it is probably... the daughter?
"Master Traveler, this is...my little daughter."
The city lord's hand gently brushed the surface of the ice, and there was a little attachment and faint anger on his face.
"It looks like an ice-type sealing magic." Raz popped out a pair of eyes, helping Luo Ning, who didn't understand magic, make some judgments.
"Yes, it is a kind of sealing magic, the sealing magic from the hands of the ice element magician of the empire."
The little guy behind the boy could tell the type of magic at a glance, which surprised the city owner a little.
Before that, he always thought that little guy was just a good-looking mascot.
"Using sealing magic, that is to say, the other party did not intend to kill your daughter? If it is creating magic, being frozen in such a space without air will only take a few minutes to die from lack of oxygen." Raz leaned on Luo Ning's shoulder curiously.
"Your analysis is correct..." The city lord nodded in praise.
"Empire?" Luo Ning didn't focus on Raz's analysis, he cared more about what the city lord said before.
"You are the lord of the west city of the Crotal Empire, but your daughter was sealed here by the empire's ice magician?" Luo Ning asked puzzled.
The city lord took a deep breath and buried his head:
"That's true...Although he is the city lord of the west city, he is just a small city lord. A border city lord like us can't even compare with half of the nobles in the empire... He has a high position in the west city, but in the eyes of the entire empire , it’s just a small shrimp.”
He stroked the sharp edge of the ice pick and recalled: "My youngest daughter went to the imperial capital to study magic half a year ago. She already has certain magical aptitude. As a father, I naturally want to send her to a better place." Studying, she was unwilling to go, but I insisted on sending her away..."
"I killed her." The voice of the city lord trembled slightly, and his expression fluctuated:
"In the academy in the imperial capital, she was bullied by the nobles and the royal family. People from border areas like us go to the imperial capital, even if they are the daughter of the city lord, they can't hold up their heads in front of the imperial nobles. Although I taught my daughter, going to that kind of place only needs Just focus on studying, don't provoke anyone, and hide away if you can..."
Speaking of this, the corners of the city lord's eyes began to get wet: "But three months ago, I went to see my daughter in the imperial capital. After I came out of the teleportation array, I looked for her for a long time... Finally, in an inconspicuous corner of the academy, Found her."
"She became... like this..."
The city lord was sobbing, and people's emotions are fragile when facing their closest relatives.
After Luo Jing quietly listened to the experiences and stories of the city lord, he took a closer look at the situation inside the ice pick.
The girl's expression was not in pain, but rather peaceful, as if she was falling asleep naturally.
But if you look closely, you can find different degrees of frostbite on the girl's torso.
I'm afraid it was the ice mage who sealed her, and it wasn't the first or two times he targeted her.
But these things are irrelevant to Luo Ning, he is just a passerby at best.
When Luo Ning came out of Demon King City, he was already burdened with heavy responsibilities, so he didn't have the heart to deal with other people's sophistication.
"I spent a lot of money to teleport my daughter back from the imperial capital... Hidden in this small basement, I don't even know who made her become like this, the instructor in the academy told me not to ask, I had no choice but to bring it back like this."
"Bring it back and keep it here for three months?" Luo Ning walked around the ice pick.
"Yes..." The city lord nodded heavily.
"Three months, you didn't ask someone to help you unlock the seal? Even if the city lord you said is not a high-ranking official, after so many years of taxation, your personal income will not even afford to hire a magician, right? ?" Luo Ning asked doubtfully.
"Please be able to afford it..." The city lord hunched his back, his face a bit vicissitudes:
"But all the magicians in the city know that my daughter was cast with sealing magic in the imperial capital, and the caster was either a royal family or a nobleman. No matter how much money I spend, they are not willing to provoke those people... "
"What about the adventurers? Didn't the number of adventurers suddenly increase in your place a while ago?"
"Indeed, during that time I asked many adventurers for help...but their goal was to go to the territory of the demons, so why would they care about such a small thing like me. Furthermore, although adventurers have no direct relationship with the empire, they Most adventurers are still unwilling to provoke the imperial forces... So, no one is willing to take action at all."
The city lord's expression was exhausted, especially after the strong mood swings, the relaxed mood made the whole person weak and even more decadent.
From the words of the city lord, Luo Ning finally understood why the other party was so excited after knowing that he was a traveler from a foreign land.
Luo Ning is neither a magician of the empire, nor does he belong to the Adventurer's Guild, so it can be said that he is not involved in any forces.
But the element mastered by such a person is actually the fire element that restrains the ice element.
"So, what are you going to pay me for?"
To be honest, Luo Ning is not very interested in this kind of thing. What kind of father-daughter relationship, Luo Ning has no sense of substitution, so he can't be moved.
Moreover, the city lord does not look like a wise monarch, and it is not a matter of a day or two to abuse his power.He was able to 'invite' Luo Ning here with the excuse of compensation, which has already explained a lot of things.
It can only be said that it is not black and white, but for Luo Ning, if he can exchange for the most scarce coins at this stage, this job is not unacceptable.
"What do you want?"
"money."
Luo Ning's answer was quite decisive.
The city lord paused when he heard this.
Luo Ning immediately added: "There is still some information."
"I do have the money...I still have three hundred gold coins left here. If Lord Traveler is willing to help, I am willing to give you all the money." The city lord's tone was sincere. It is already the last hope.
161 transactions
The tone of the city lord can be regarded as straightforward and generous, but there is a look of sincerity and fear on his face.
He went on to say:
"But the 'intelligence' you mentioned... Of course I will tell you what I know, but the news in remote towns like ours is relatively closed, I'm afraid..."
"It's okay, I don't ask those complicated news." Luo Ning waved his hand:
"You also know that I am a foreigner, and I know little about Clothar, so I also want to know something about the empire... and a magic teacher I am looking for."
"Magic mentor?" The city lord was slightly taken aback, "You are such a powerful great magician, do you still need a mentor...?"
"We'll talk about this later," Luo Ning interrupted him, "You go and prepare coins first, and my place is almost over after you come back."
"So fast?" The city lord was overjoyed, and his eyes brightened.
"I'm going to get ready!"
Thinking of seeing his daughter who was about to reunite after a long absence, the city lord's eyes turned red, and he hurriedly started to prepare while wiping away his tears.
After waiting for the huge room to be empty, Luo Ning took a step forward.
"Laz, close the door."
"Okay, okay, Laz will go now."
Although it wasn't very romantic, Raz still climbed off Luo Ning's back.
After losing their wings, they can only walk on their feet, which is very inconvenient for angels.
I saw Raz running over with a 'da da da', with two chubby little hands sticking to the edge of the door, pressing the door hard, and then galloping back with his calves.
"Hoo hoo, it's so cold outside, my lord."
Raz shrank into Luo Ning's clothes like a meatball, trying to find a warm place.
Luo Ning didn't feel cold at all, but felt that this little guy was very hot.
"Sealing magic..."
He raised his head and looked at the huge piece of ice.
When it comes to sealing magic, Luo Ning is too good at it.
Starting from repeatedly breaking the seal magic in Demon King Lilulu's room, Luo Ning went to break the seal of the strongest dungeon in the entire Demon King City.
Compared with those black magic that can be called top-notch in the mainland casually, the big ice block in front of Luo Ning will appear much weaker.
"Razz, can you breathe fire?"
Before his fingers touched the ice, Luo Ning turned to ask Raz.
Raz found a comfortable place to lie down on Luo Ning's cloak.
She was very happy when she thought that Lord Shenming could take her to eat steak after taking the money.
"Razz can spray water!"
Luo Ning: "?"
"Hey, just kidding... Laz is an angel who masters light magic, how could he breathe fire..."
"Bright magic can also ignite things. To put it another way, the flames burned by the gathered light can also be regarded as fire."
"You can also say that..."
"Then you light up this room first."
"Eh……?"
With Laz's little brain, of course he couldn't think of what Luo Ning was going to do.
"At least I have to pretend that I am a fire mage." Luo Ning decided to solve the doubts in her head, "Otherwise, when the city lord comes in later, he finds that there is no heat in the room. How can I explain it?"
"He doesn't care how the gods undo the seal..." Raz pouted and muttered.
"You have to pay attention to details when doing things. If you are suspected in the future, it will be very troublesome to deal with."
"But..." Raz, who was hiding under Luo Ning's cloak, twisted his butt, looking tired and lazy:
"The light element needs to use magic that can burn flames, which will consume a lot of magic power. Raz is almost out of power, and it's night outside..."
"I see." Luo Ning nodded.
He paused for a second, then said, "Double-fried steak, plus an egg."
"Okay! Long live my lord! Back off, Laz will release the magic!"
When it came to food, Raz wasn't tired.
Immediately climbed up two steps, put his arms on Luo Ning's shoulders, and a round of golden magic circle quickly lit up the whole room.
At the same time, Luo Ning stretched out a hand, and gently pressed his palm against the cold ice.
"click, click"
The ice cubes cracked and the flames ignited the wrapped rattan.
The moment the huge ice cone was about to fall obliquely, the ice suddenly exploded and shattered into countless tiny powder crystals.
The powder returned to its original state of ice element and dissipated in the field of vision.
The fallen ice cube disappeared, but the girl sealed in it didn't stop falling.
Luo Ning caught the girl firmly with his arm.
The young girl's skin was surprisingly cold, and there was not a single trace of blood on her pale complexion.
If he hadn't seen her breathing in small mouths, Luo Ning would have wondered if this person was a corpse.
"Light the pillows on the floor and heat up."
"Good Le!"
