He knocked on the door.
The thick wooden door made a dull sound.
The quarrel inside stopped abruptly.
After about ten seconds of silence, Luo Ning vaguely heard them whispering something in an extremely flustered tone.
Luo Ning also heard fragmentary metal clashes, which sounded like some kind of weapon.
Someone was walking slowly, very lightly.
With the sound of the door opening, Luo Ning involuntarily took half a step back.
"call out--!"
Fortunately, he retreated, otherwise this cold dagger would have pierced his forehead.
The dagger was linked by a silver chain, seeing that it missed the target, the man who used the chain was slightly taken aback.
He pulled the chain back with all his strength, and spun half a circle in the air, intending to stab Luo Ning again.
Luo Ning still didn't understand the situation.
But the method of attacking at the door like this... Maybe because I overheard their secret conversation, so I wanted to kill them?
Although Luo Ning did not have any special training, the aisle here is not spacious, and there are fragile vases and weapon racks around. When the dagger on the chain attacked Luo Ning again, it clanged against the vase, Obviously off track.
Even though the man who used the chain attack was proficient, he was too fat and his movements were as slow as Tai Chi.
"Wait a minute, wait a minute!"
From the height of the audience room, the old city lord's aged voice came hurriedly.
He put it away violently, and the fat man with the chain in his hand quickly put away his weapon when he saw this.
The iron chain rattled as it dragged on the ground, and the man turned his head to look at the old castellan on the chair, wondering.
"Your Majesty, our secrets have been heard... don't you want to kill this person?"
"It's okay, it's okay." The old city lord pressed his palm, signaling the man to calm down.
He coughed slightly again, and said slowly: "Master Luo Ning has known my secret for a long time. Although he didn't participate, he is by no means our enemy..."
Under the gaze of many people, Luo Ning stepped into the room.
There are more people here than Luo Ning guessed.
There were about seven or eight of them. Among them, the headmistress Luo Ning had seen was standing not far from the old king. They were the ones who were discussing the matter just now, and the rest of them were listening quietly.
"Luo Ning...'Master'?" The fat man with the chain in his hand was obviously surprised by the name Luo Ning used in the old kingdom.
How could His Majesty the King use such an honorific title for a young man?
"Luoning, I'm curious how you got in here."
The person who asked the question was the headmistress of Santa Zemaria College.
The people in the room were tall, short, fat, thin, male and female.
For a moment, everyone fixed their eyes on Luo Ning.
Luo Ning looked a little uncomfortable, but he still walked forward without any fear.
He basically glanced at all the people present, and there was no Milia, which made Luo Ning a little disappointed.
"He just came in. Apart from the guards guarding the gate, there is no defense inside, right?" Luo Ning replied casually.
The woman was stunned, and stepped on the ground with her thin purple high-heeled shoes.
"How could it be? Although the guards at the entrance of the aisle and the audience room, as well as the castle inspectors, have been called to patrol the streets, I have set up ten magical defenses here..."
The headmistress is confused.
She even wondered if her defensive magic had failed.
But she is a great magician of the earth attribute, and what the earth attribute is best at is defensive magic, so it is impossible for her to be broken and guessed so easily.
Just when she felt strange, she tried to use her magic power to perceive the defensive magic she had arranged before.
It's okay if she doesn't perceive it, but once she perceives it, she takes a few steps back.
"How... how... the defense I spent the whole morning setting up—all disappeared?!"
"It's not simply breaking, but disappearing directly!"
Those defenses consumed too much mana of the principal.
This was originally the last line of defense after being invaded by the imperial knights, but now, these lines of defense have all disappeared out of thin air? !
For a moment, they all stared at Luo Ning with wide eyes, full of guard.
Luo Ning was very puzzled.
But he probably guessed why.
He can easily break through the magic defense carefully arranged by the great demon king Lilulu, let alone the defense set up by a human mage...
"...It should be my problem." Luo Ning felt that this matter still had to be admitted by himself.
"Should?!" The headmistress was surprised.
She even wondered if Luo Ning was in Versailles.
"Maria, you have seen Lord Luo Ning's magic, so don't panic..."
"But, Your Majesty..."
Of course Maria knew, but she also had confidence in her magic.
That is, even if the great magician of the empire comes, it is impossible to destroy it easily... It is even more impossible to destroy it silently like this.
However, when Maria saw the comforting gesture of the king closing his eyes and shaking his head, she restrained her emotions.
"Lord Luo Ning came here to see me this time, is there something important?"
The old king lowered his voice very slowly, slowly, which was completely different from the excitement that Luo Ning overheard just now.
Luo Ning calmly watched the king sitting on the throne, and he took a step forward.
"Milia, has she ever been to your place?"
"Milia, what Milia said, she has indeed been here."
The old king's voice was obviously hesitant, and he scanned the people in the hall before continuing.
"Maria, you stay, and the others go out first."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Several people in the audience room looked at each other, facing the old king's order, they still chose to leave the room.

(We are about to apply for the cover illustration, which character do you want to see?
Lilulu, Rafael, Milia, you should choose one of these three at the moment, everyone vote =w=)

The thick mahogany door slammed shut.
Luo Ning didn't know what the old king was planning. He actually came to ask about Milia's whereabouts. If the old king wanted to, he could just answer it directly. There was no need to go to war like this.
"Lord Luo Ning, before I answer your question, I want you to answer one of my questions first."
The old king's voice became particularly heavy, and his eyes were also dark.
For a moment, Luo Ning couldn't figure out what was contemplating in his deep eyes.
"You ask."
But as the demand side, Luo Ning knew that he had to exchange something if he wanted the other party to speak up.
"Lord Luo Ning, please don't blame me. Although I also want to meet all your demands unconditionally. But now, the crisis of Elan King City is imminent, and I must seize every opportunity around me."
"go ahead."
Perhaps the tone just now was too cold, which frightened the old king, so Luo Ning changed to a relaxed tone.
"Lord Luo Ning, were you in Elan King City yesterday morning?"
"..." Luo Ning was silent, looking at him quietly.
The two looked at each other, and the old king had a complicated expression, Luo Ning answered him.
"What's the matter, you just say it directly, there's no need to beat around the bush, I'm running out of time now."
"It's Luo Ning like this," the woman standing beside the old king walked up to Luo Ning on crisp high heels.
What she said was not as tactful as the old king's.The woman's voice was mature and stable, far from the gaffe just now.
"From early morning to afternoon yesterday, a group of knights from the Crotal Empire came to Elan King City from Crotal City. Just as they were about to arrive at Elan King City, this knight team disappeared out of thin air."
"Not only the knights disappeared, but also the leader of the knights, the red dragon of the knights, and the great magician who is very important to the empire... That great magician belongs to the peak level in the empire, and is the former An important person who came to help adventurers break through the demon barrier."
"The current situation is that the important person disappeared together with the knights. The empire suspected that he was kidnapped or killed by the people of Ilan King City, so this time they sent more knights to investigate."
"Now, you just came over. Your Majesty and I mentioned you before."
Maria's voice was high-pitched, and even though she lowered her voice, her voice still echoed in the empty audience room.
"So what do you want to ask?"
Luo Ning's expression gradually sank.
But he still wanted to get Miria's information from them, so he held back.
"We analyzed the conclusions and compared the strength and time of everyone who entered and exited the Royal City of Elan during this period. The result is only one possibility."
"The Knights of the Empire..."
"You did it?"
Before Luo Ning could answer, the woman asked another question on her own.
"Did you tie them up, or did you kill them?"
Luo Ning looked at her and said.
"What if I say no?"
A faint smile appeared on his face.
It's just that anyone with a discerning eye knows that such a smile is actually a dangerous signal.
"If you say 'no,' there's nothing we can do about you."
Maria also smiled.
There was a confident certainty in her words.
Combining the time when they left and the time when Milia returned to the city last night, carefully analyze and analyze the only few strong men in Elan King City... When Luo Ning appeared here today, Maria was [-]% sure of what to do. The person is Luo Ning.
"killed."
Luo Ning saw the determination in her eyes, so he simply stopped talking nonsense.
His short syllables were spoken forcefully, with a hint of threat.
It seemed that the next person to be 'killed' was the two people in front of him.
"Where did you hide Miria?"
Luo Ning's gaze was terrifyingly calm.
Luo Ning subconsciously felt that they hid Milia, and they planned to threaten him with this matter.
Maria was a little afraid of Luo Ning's eyes.
Although the king said that Luo Ning was the messenger of light, she actually felt that Luo Ning came out of the darkness.
"We didn't hide Milia, she went by herself." The old king replied.
"Where did she go?"
"..."
