Luo Ning returned to the golden hall.
Aristocrats and officials gathered together, wine glasses clinked, and the nectar swirled in goblets before being drunk by bright red lips with flattering smiles.
This itself is a social gathering to welcome the princess Sophia.
But for most noble ladies, the purpose of this banquet is to get to know some people from the empire through this banquet.
Especially for the current Elan King City, being able to interact with the people of the empire will undoubtedly increase their survival rate.
Their goals are very clear, those men with power in the empire.And the targets of those imperial men... are nothing more than the beautiful and plump skins of those noble ladies in Elan King City.
The man took the noble lady's hand, and kissed gently on the back of that hand, his eyes seemed to be smiling but not smiling.
Luo Ning stood in the crowd, he didn't have any interest in everything around him, but locked his eyes on the woman on the high platform.
Sophia was still sitting there lazily, with a plate of crystal clear grapes in her hand.
She picked up a grape, brought it to her mouth, raised her fair neck, opened her red lips, and took a bite.
One golden and one red pupils of different colors looked a little cheerful and bright under the crystal lamp, and those slightly restrained eyes scanned the audience with a faint drunkenness.
I don't know if it was Luo Ning's illusion, but he felt that the princess was looking at him.
Luo Ning glanced around the stage indiscriminately, but he didn't see the 'Grandma Ash' deacon.
"It really is you, Miss Wendy..."
Next to Luo Ning's ear, he accidentally caught a high-pitched male voice.
The man's voice was high and deep, and it sounded like a rough voice caused by hypertrophy of the vocal cords.
"I heard that you came out of ice, oh no, from the ice magic... I thought it was fake, but I didn't expect to meet you here~"
"Remember, we met at Imperial College, when you were slipped by the water on the ground, I even picked you up specially~~"
The man's voice was obviously rough, but when he deliberately raised his voice and said it between his throat, there was a strange soft voice that made goosebumps all over his body.
Luo Ning would like to call it 'yin and yang strange qi'.
"Well, yes, sorry... I don't seem to remember those things."
Wendy stood in the corner, facing the man approaching constantly, she chose to step back step by step.
"Huh?" The man paused, the fat on his face was trying to make an expression similar to disappointment and sadness.
"How can I not remember...Miss Wendy was really rude. When I helped you up, you didn't even say thank you, and ran away like a rabbit..."
"Hey, if I hadn't helped you stop those colleges chasing you, would you have left? Why didn't you thank me then?"
It seemed that the more cowardly and pitiful Wendy's expression was, the more excited those bullies would be.
The man laughed a few times, and reached out to grab Wendy's hair, just like they used to do when they bullied the weak.
But Wendy backed away to avoid it, but the man didn't want to stop there, he wanted to hold Wendy's hand again.
"You can't bully Wen...Huh?"
Raz, who was sitting on the ground and eating the cake with relish, finally noticed the abnormality here. She wiped her mouth and planned to teach the bad guy a lesson.
But out of the corner of his eye, he saw the god-sama who was walking faster, Raz was stunned for a moment, and chose not to intervene.
Luo Ning grabbed the man's collar and pulled it hard.
The man's center of gravity was a little unstable due to the sudden recoil, he staggered a few steps backwards, and almost fell down.
"Who?" He turned around ferociously, and his guilt-ridden gaze became calm again after he glanced around at Luo Ning.
Luo Ning didn't have the lion badge of the empire on him, which meant that he was not from the empire, but just a certain nobleman from Elan King City.
"What did you misunderstand, I just want to catch up with Miss Wendy."
There was a trace of disdain in the man's eyes.
Luo Ning thought about whether he wanted to question this man at this time.
But when he saw this man's ugly face, he didn't want to talk nonsense with this man.
Luo Ning just said a word from his mouth.
"roll."
The man was taken aback for a moment.
In this high-class dinner party, there should be some elegant people. Even the nobles of Yilan King City should pay attention to etiquette...
"..."
But after seeing Luo Ning's calm black pupils, the man was suddenly shaken.
His throat was suddenly tense, and he didn't know where the chill came from. The boy in front of him looked calm and harmless.
Then he set his gaze on the magic book in the boy's arms.
A magician who can master the magic book... must not be easily provoked.
After weighing the pros and cons for a few seconds, the man chose to back down.
At least for him, it was not enough for him to make trouble at Queen Sophia's dinner just to bully a former cowardly classmate.
"Miss Wendy, come to the academy often when you have time, everyone misses you very much."
The man smiled lightly at the girl, then gave Luo Ning a vicious look, turned around and took back the wine glass he had put on the table, and left in a hurry.
Wendy watched the man leave silently.
Usually at this time, she would curl up in fear... But when she saw Luo Ning appearing, all the anxiety and fear disappeared.
Luo Ning took a step forward and took Wendy's hand.
"Sorry, I've been away for a long time." Luo Ning's tone was gentle, completely different from the word 'scroll' just now.
Wendy shook her head: "Lord Luo Ning, I'm fine..."
"When you were studying in the empire, were you often bullied by this kind of person?"
Recalling Wendy's frightened eyes just now, Luo Ning didn't know how many times this frail girl had faced such fear alone.
"Hmm... The magic academies in the empire are all outstanding, but I'm an underachiever who only has magic power but can't control magic, and I come from a small place like West City, so..."
Wendy bit her lip and didn't continue speaking.
She once thought that because she was a waste, it was only natural for her to be bullied.
Until she met the first person who treated her well...
Luo Ning's gentle face was imprinted in Wendy's eyes, and the tip of her nose suddenly felt a little sour, and her vision was also covered with mist.
"It's okay, Wendy, you are excellent... And, now that I'm with you, you don't have to be afraid anymore."
Luo Ning put his tone softly.
At the beginning, Luo Ning was willing to contact Wendy because he knew that she was the original witch.
The initial contact was indeed purposeful, just like Wendy obeying her father's wishes.It was only later that the girl's sincerity and when she mustered up the courage to express her heart to Luo Ning were somewhat touching.
"If you want, I'll get rid of him." Luo Ning said slowly.
He has always been helping relatives but not helping others. Once he is labeled as an 'enemy', there is no room for maneuver.
"...Lord Luo Ning."
Wendy looked up and shook her head.
"Those things have already passed, Lord Luo Ning, don't provoke the people of the empire because of me... I will blame myself."
"Okay." Luo Ning sighed.
In fact, for the future Wendy, the "powerful empire" in her eyes is just a group of human beings huddling together for warmth.
Once the primordial witch is fully awakened, she will immediately stand at the top of the empire.
"Speaking of which, have you ever had the dreams you told me about last time?" Luo Ning gently stroked Wendy's hair, talking in a low voice in this noisy hall.
Wendy nodded, her hazy eyes gradually became clear, she wiped her eyes with the back of her hand, and replied.
"Those dreams still appear frequently, and they become more and more real..."
"Compared to this, Lord Luo Ning, I feel... my past memories are beginning to blur."
"The memory is blurred?" Luo Ning frowned.
The crystal lamp above his head was extremely gorgeous, and he was surrounded by delicious food and wine, but Luo Ning's eyes were only on Wendy.
"Hmm... I don't seem to remember what happened when I was a child. The incident when my father sent me to the Imperial Academy of Magic seemed to be a watershed moment. Before that, my memory is so vague... I even forgot who my mother was. In an instant, I even forgot my father's surname, and it was only after I found out my student badge that I suddenly remembered it."
"My name is Wendy Closso, but why is it 'Closso'...I am so unfamiliar with this surname."
Wendy spoke softly, a trance of fragmented things appeared in her mind.
Those things flashed through my mind like light, but they burned like flames and disappeared into dust.
Her head was aching, she leaned against Luo Ning's arms and gasped for breath.
Luo Ning hugged her tightly, narrowing his eyes slightly, as if he was thinking about various possibilities.
The dinner party is still going on.
The students called from Saint Zemaria College are already waiting in every corner.
With the movement of the host waving his hands, the melodious and crisp sound of musical instruments played from all directions.
The imperial officer held the hand of the noble girl, and they danced in this dimly lit hall.
The gorgeous long skirt was flying, covering up the man's triumphant smile.
The man couldn't help puffing out his chest under the light, and proudly held up the medal on his chest. The lion of the empire on the badge was their most confident weapon in this 'war' without gunpowder tonight.
The magic lamp is adjusted to produce five-color light spots, and the light spots shine on people's bodies. Coupled with the rhythmic music, people's nerves and limbs can't help being touched.
Wendy lay in Luo Ning's arms and took several breaths until the pain in her head disappeared completely.
She stretched out a hand towards Luo Ning: "Lord Luo Ning, do you want to dance together..."
The girl's eyes shone with her unique light in the colorful neon lights.
Her eyes seemed to be printed with colorful stars, locked on the young man with great anticipation.
Luo Ning smiled: "Shouldn't I invite you?"
The music of the dinner will be pushed to the climax, the boy's somewhat clumsy footsteps and the girl's graceful but timid footsteps match surprisingly well...
The singing and dancing continued.
Outside the window, under the moonlight.
The cherry-colored long hair fluttered under the bright moon.
There was light flickering in those light red eyes, and then went out after flickering.
She looked at the castle hall where the joyous music was being played, but around her, there was only solitude.
The long sword in her hand exuded a strange red light, and her hand holding the long sword was trembling.
311 Strange Competition
After singing and dancing, the colored lights were replaced by golden and elegant crystal lamps.
Princess Sophia was still sitting on the throne, eating the grapes in her hand.
She doesn't like dancing, and she seems to enjoy enjoying the 'maggots' more than going to the dance floor and shaking like a maggot.
Of course, the second princess Sophia is not so vicious. In her eyes, the wriggling men and women are more like a special snack of a country in the East - twisted twist.
So she thought it was quite funny, and she couldn't help but put a smile on her face.
The host who was in charge of hosting the dinner secretly breathed a sigh of relief after seeing Her Royal Highness smiling.
The host clapped his hands, and all the music stopped playing.
Soon, a dozen or so people trotted forward and took away the almost eaten meals and the table.
Looks like it's time for the next project.
Sophia, who was sitting lazily on the throne, changed her legs and crossed her legs, put her hands on the armrests, and looked at the audience jokingly.
The deacon of 'grandma gray' bent down and whispered something in Sophia's ear.
