Chapter 158. Princess Luo Ying’s most terrible guess!
The lights were on.
In the palace, a dinner party was in progress.
The fox girl Qing Ling hosted a banquet for Princess Luo Ying.
Princess Luo Ying, who was knowledgeable about the mainland, took the initiative to talk to the fox girl Qing Ling and Meng Ying about what she had seen on the mainland.
If it was someone else, she might have tried to get some secrets about the royal family from Princess Luo Ying, but here there wasn’t any need to do that.
Although the status of several of them was noble, they were young girls of about the same age.
So once they started talking, there were lots of topics that they could talk about.
The princess was already a third ranked magister, and as a royal princess, she had the best teacher and the best resources. So, naturally she grew faster than Meng Ying, who was in Xi Ling Kingdom before.
However, this growth was also limited.
After chatting with Meng Ying, Princess Luo Ying had a feeling that although Meng Ying was rich in knowledge and had no childish ideas at all, Meng Ying was really like a teenager!
That discovery made Princess Luo Ying startled!
A teenage Grand Magister!
Even the magisters in the church of the Xi Ling Kingdom who were especially favored by the gods did not have such a fast promotion speed, right?
However, she was not sure yet. And asking about her age, especially under this kind of occasion, was impolite behavior.
So Princess Luo Ying suppressed her doubts.
.
“Your Highness, I want to stay in the City of Miracles for a few more days. I wonder if it’s okay?”
Later, Princess Luo Ying asked.
Fox girl Qing Ling nodded gracefully and said, “Of course it is possible.”
She was not worried about what would happen if Princess Luo Ying found anything confidential in the City of Miracles. Most of the important decisions regarding the Yan Nation were only discussed between Qing Ling and several Saints, and there was no possibility of them being revealed at all.
After the dinner, the princess was eager to come to the square outside the temple to watch the drama about the Lord of Flame’s deeds in the temple square.
There were many people involved in these plays, and they were even aided by magic when they performed.
It looked very exciting.
There were only three performances at night.
It took several days for them to finish all the performances.
Then they start performing those plays again.
Although it was a loop, many people didn’t get bored watching it dozens of times!
At night, it was the biggest event in the City of Miracles.
“Princess, there are so many people.”
Ning Cui said.
Princess Luo Ying nodded: “Well, it’s really lively as well!”
By the time they arrived, one play was nearing its end.
Then the second play started.
The drama was about the climax of the battle with the Priest of the Lion tribe.
The story was about the Lion tribe Priest, Who was possessed by the power and consciousness sent down by the Demon God of the Abyss to wipe out the 40,000 strong army of the City of Miracles, and then was burnt to ashes by the Lord of Flames.
Well, although the people at that time did not know that the lion tribe priest of the Lion tribe was possessed by the consciousness of the Abyssal Demon God, Lin Yan had mentioned it inadvertently when he gave the revelation to Qing Ling and Meng Ying.
Qing Ling and Meng Ying were his holy saints, and Lin Yan was actually subconsciously teaching and watching them, and helping them to grow.
So when giving the revelation, occasionally he let them know more things.
Only when their vision was more open they could make better decisions.
“With God’s means of revelation, is it possible that you can deal with the little sixth ranked magister, hahahaha.”
On the stage, a Lion warrior played the role of the Lion tribe’s Priest and stood there repeating the words of the Lion tribe Priest at the beginning.
The lion warrior was quite a good imitator of the lion tribe’s priest after being possessed by the Abyssal Demon God.
Seeing this, Princess Luo Ying’s heart was slightly moved.
Because of this drama, the Princess started to think of something.
Thinking of this, Princess Luo Ying told Ning Cui to ask the people in the square. And finally, after asking around she found a centaur warrior who had personally participated in the battle of the Lion tribe’s war.
This centaur warrior told Princess Luo Ying what he had seen with his own eyes.
“Are you saying that the priest of the Lion tribe was really possessed by a demon god?”
Princess Luo Ying asked.
The centaur warrior said, “This story came out later, but at that time, the words said by the priest of the lion tribe did not sound like the words of a lion man.”
Speaking of this, the centaur warrior, who still had a trace of fear, showed a pious expression and said:
“We have to thank the Great Lord of Flames. If not for the Great Lord of Flame, we would have been all destroyed by the power of the Demon god!”
After hearing this, Princess Luo Ying turned silent.
After watching this performance, Princess Luo Ying suddenly lost her mood to do the sightseeing.
The fox girl Qing Ling sent someone to accompany her and also arranged a place for her to stay.
That was the palace on the edge of the Temple dedicated to receiving guests.
After arriving at the palace, Princess Luo Ying took out a large number of books from her magic bag and started reading them all night long, as if she wanted to find something in those books.
It was late at night, but she still kept looking for something in the books.
“Princess, it’s too late. You should rest.”
Ning Cui said.
But Princess Luo Ying shook her head and kept on searching.
Until the next morning, Ning Cui found out that Princess Luo Ying had not slept the whole night.
As a third rank magister, a night without sleep would not affect the magister in terms of the mental state, but physical fatigue could not be avoided.
“Princess, the hot water is ready. The water here is so convenient, it comes out as soon as you twist it.”
From outside, she heard Ning Cui’s voice.
Princess Luo Ying walked out and said, “Ning Cui, let’s go back today.”
Ning Cui was a little surprised: “Princess, don’t you want to stay here for a few more days?”
Princess Luo Ying shook her head and said, “No, I’m going to confirm something.”
Ning Cui asked, “Princess, what is it?”
Princess Luo Ying looked at Ning Cui and asked, “Ning Cui, don’t you feel that father has been a bit strange these past half months.”
“Strange? I don’t think so.”
Ning Cui said.
The princess then remembered that Ning Chu had only seen the king of the Xi Ling Kingdom once in the past half month, and before coming for this trip in the main hall for less than a minute, and her father had merely said a few words at that time.
What else could Ning Cui feel about His Highness?
In fact, Princess Luo Ying had not seen much of her father these half months as well, her father had not summoned her alone at all.
And that was quite strange, because her father used to call her for at least one family meeting every ten days to keep an eye on the progress of all his children’s studies.
However, before the trip, her father summoned her once in the secret chamber of the palace, but at that time she was not alone at all.
She still remembered the situation at that time, there were two ministers and two… people from the church in the secret chamber of the palace!
At that time, Princess Luo Ying found it strange because her father never met the people from church, especially in the secret chamber. He used to meet them outside in one of the council halls!
It had been like that for as long as she remembered.
“Maybe there is something particularly important.”
At that time, that’s what Princess Luo Ying thought about it.
And the next thing that she suddenly remembered was the tone of her father’s speech at that time.
As the king, the tone of his father’s voice was always faintly majestic, but usually when he spoke to her, his tone would be softer while talking to her.
Even in public, the father’s tone was still formal, but she could still feel the love and kindness for her in his tone.
But at that time, the tone of her father’s voice made her feel distant.
This sense of alienation, another person would have never felt it.
But Princess Luo Ying felt it.
Because she was the daughter, and the other person was none other than her beloved father.
In addition to that, she also felt a strangeness in her father’s tone of voice and demeanor.
She tried to understand it for a long time, and now she was finally able to understand why she was having such an unsettling feeling.
High above, contemptuous of all beings!
And that was the indifference!
Incomparable indifference!
Although father being a king did have the arrogance of a king, but at?that time father gave her a feeling that was completely different.
It made her feel as if that was not her father.
“Maybe Father had met something that put him in a bad mood.”
Princess Luo Ying thought at that time.
Although she was a princess, she had no idea about the defeat of the god of the Xi Ling kingdom in the divine war. That event was only known to few people in the Xi Ling kingdom, because they blocked the news.
It was also because this news might bring a disaster for the church! So they suppressed this news from spreading.
Otherwise she wouldn’t have been confused earlier about why her father asked her to send so many benefits to the Yan Nation, who had destroyed a noble family of the Xi Ling Kingdom!
Although it didn’t feel right, Princess Luo Ying didn’t make too many assumptions at that time.
When a person’s in a bad mood, there would be small changes, whether it’s their look and attitude and so on, Father was a little bit wrong, So she tried to understand.
Only now when she watched the drama of the priest of the lion tribe being possessed by the Abyssal Demon God in the square of the temple!
It made her realize lots of things.
And Princess Luo Ying remembered another incident.
That was, almost a month ago, her father had a bad relationship with the Church!
She didn’t know what the reason was, as her father had never told her the reason.
But during that time, there were frequent messengers from other kingdoms going in and out of father’s palace. And father had also sent messengers frequently, not knowing to which kingdom he had sent them.
And once, in the garden, she had heard her father seemingly speaking ill of God!
She still remembered the situation at that time. Her father only said a few words before he saw her coming and then shut his mouth.
And during that half-month period, the guards of the royal palace of Xi Ling Kingdom were strengthened several times. And even her aunt, her father’s sister, the powerful great Mage tutor, returned from a distant place to stay in the royal palace of Xi Ling Kingdom.
But half a month later, her aunt was nowhere to be seen. It was said that she left the Xi Ling Kingdom and went to a distant place to study.
When all these incidents were connected together, Princess Luo Ying had a terrible suspicion in her heart; her father was probably occupied by the consciousness sent down by God!
Just like the priest of the lion tribe!
But this guess lacked a certain key point to support it.
And the key point, in fact, was confirmed by the holy maidens Qing Ling and Meng Ying. The god of the Xi Ling Kingdom had lost the war!
If Princess Luo Ying knew this key point from the start, she would have been able to confirm her suspicions! However, she didn’t know this yet, so Princess Luo Ying decided to go back and confirm it.
If she didn’t find out, she wouldn’t be able to feel comfortable at all!
That morning, Princess Luo Ying came to the temple and found the fox girl Qing Ling.
She had come to say goodbye.
This was the first time she came to the temple of the Lord of Flames.
The fox girl Qing Ling usually lived in the divine temple. The last time she specially stayed at the palace to entertain her, and this morning when the princess suddenly decided to go back, naturally only fox girl Qing Ling met her here!
The shrine was filled with a sacred atmosphere.
On the altar in the middle of the shrine, a flame was always burning.
That flame was not Lin Yan, but a flame burning with firewood. Lin Yan would occasionally descend and rest there for a moment.
“Didn’t the princess say she would stay for a few days? Is there something urgent?”
Fox girl Qing Ling asked.
Princess Luo Ying nodded and said, “Well, there is indeed something that happened so I need to rush back as soon as possible. I can’t stay for long, sorry, Your Highness.”
The fox girl Qing Ling said: “It’s okay, then I won’t keep you. By the way, this time you came from afar and gave us such a heavy gift. I haven’t returned the gift yet. Wait a moment.”
Fox girl Qing Ling spoke, clapped her hands, and several shrine maids brought up something.
It was a multicolored magic stone!
This magic stone was still a collection of the Slow family and was quite precious to magisters.
Princess Luo Ying did not pretend. She thanked the fox girl Qing Ling and accepted the gift in return.
Then the fox girl Qing Ling sent Princess Luo Ying out of the temple.
After walking out of the temple, Princess Luo Ying suddenly turned back and said,
“Your Highness, if I ever encounter any danger, can I pray for the help of the Great Lord of Flame?”
Her question, on the contrary, caused the fox girl Qing Ling to stare.
As a royal princess, Princess Luo Ying naturally had to follow the royal family’s belief in the god of the Xi Ling Kingdom.
Of course, that faith might be superficial.
But the superficial faiths were also beliefs.
But Princess Luo Ying asked if she could pray for the help of the Lord of Flame when faced with danger!
Instinctively, the fox girl Qing Ling felt that what Princess Luo Ying said at this time was related to the reason why she had to leave in a hurry!
Although frozen for a moment, the fox girl Qing Ling’s reaction was still quick.
She revealed a smile and said.
“Of course you can, my god is generous and merciful!”
Having said that, she thought of something and removed a pendant from her neck!
On this pendant was a tiny black, burning flame!
That was the Abyssal Demon Flame. There was no need to look down at this flame. Although it was very tiny, there were a lot of energy points inside which were enough for this Abyssal Demon Flame to burn for a year in its tiny state.
This was made by the fox girl Qing Ling under Lin Yan’s revelation, which gave the fox girl Qing Ling a powerful soul protection!
She was not the only one who had this pendant. All of Lin Yan’s saints had a pendant like this one. With this pendant, even God’s consciousness wouldn’t be able to attack their souls, and if they ever attacked, Lin Yan could feel it.
“Princess, this is a gift from my god. Now I’m giving it to you. With it, no evil can harm you.”
After saying that, the fox girl Qing Ling hung that pendant on the neck of Princess Luo Ying.
As for herself, she’ll just make one for herself later!
On the flying warcraft, Princess Luo Ying turned her head back and looked at the City of Miracles in the back.
It was only when the City of Miracles completely disappeared from view that she finally turned her head to the front.
Her fingers were holding the pendant tightly. The abyssal magic flame was bound in the pendant and was naturally harmless to the person wearing it.
Although she only spent less than a day in the City of Miracles, this trip to the City of Miracles had left an incomparably deep impression on her.
The kindness of the fox girl also made her feel very affectionate.
And there was the Lord of Flames.
Great, Lord of Flames!
As the misty mountains disappeared behind her and the Xi Ling Kingdom appeared in front of her eyes, Princess Luo Ying’s thoughts finally returned to the Xi Ling Kingdom.
“I hope it’s not what I think it is.”
Princess Luo Ying thought.
If that was the case, it would be the worst and most desperate situation for her!
