Chapter 311

Ning Cui nodded and said with a serious face, "Princess, leave it to me. I'll move tonight!"

"Mm!"

Princess Luoying took out paper and drew several locations.

Although she had not been exposed to many royal secrets, she still knew a few places the royal family used to imprison some formidable criminals.

Magicians and knights had powerful individual strength; ordinary cells couldn't hold them at all, so specialized cells were required.

These cells generally had magic arrays within them, which could prevent the magician from sensing magical power, essentially producing a magic-suppressing effect.

When night fell, Ning Cui began to act.

She put on a suit of night-travel clothes and began to move covertly through Wang Cheng.

In the Wang Cheng of the Xiling Kingdom, a curfew took effect after 8 p. m.

This was to reduce the occurrence of criminal incidents.

There were hardly any people on the streets of Wang Cheng, only squads of patrolling soldiers.

Ning Cui did not travel along the ground, but leapt from one rooftop to another.

As a Fourth-Rank warrior, this kind of wall-climbing and roof-running posed no problem for her.

Meanwhile, in the Princess's residence, Princess Luoying was still poring through books through the night.

These books recorded a great many deeds of the gods.

Princess Luoying wanted to find within them cases of gods attaching themselves to mortals, and then hoped to find a method!

She had already found several, but those few were not much help.

For example, in a distant kingdom, when it was being founded, there was a great battle that looked like it was about to be lost, and then a god descended with power and attached a wisp of consciousness to a knight, who then slaughtered in all directions; that knight later became king as well.

As for what ultimately became of that god's consciousness, it was not described.

For the people of the Gods' Continent, sometimes being possessed by a god was not a bad thing.

The god would not remain attached to your body for long anyway.

Some people even regarded it as a kind of honor.

But this time, Princess Luoying felt that her father being possessed by a god was not a good thing!

Because it was not an isolated incident!

Combining the various events that had occurred over the past month, Princess Luoying felt that this matter was extremely disadvantageous to her father, to the royal family, and to her!

Especially her aunt's inexplicable disappearance.

One night passed quickly, and by dawn Princess Luoying had finally fallen into a drowsy sleep.

But soon, the sound of Ning Cui returning woke her again.

"Did you find it, Ning Cui?"

Princess Luoying asked.

Ning Cui shook her head and said:

"Not yet, Princess. During the day I'll go out and gather some information, and tonight I'll go look again. Princess, don't go out these next couple of days—someone may have set their sights on you."

Princess Luoying nodded.

Taking advantage of the daytime, Princess Luoying slept for a while and recovered a good deal of stamina.

That night, Ning Cui went out again.

As a result, by the middle of the night, Ning Cui had already returned.

"Princess, I found it. The eldest princess should be held by them in the dungeon beneath the Dongcheng church, but that dungeon has a large number of magical locks, and I have no way to open them. Princess, I'm afraid you'll have to go yourself."

Ning Cui said.

Her luck was good—she had searched through all the locations Princess Luoying gave without finding anything, but when passing by the Dongcheng church, she heard the bishop of that church talking with someone, saying that the Church headquarters had withdrawn the Sixth Rank Temple Knights guarding this place, and he was a little uneasy, worried that the prisoners in the dungeon would break out!

Ning Cui then made the connection, and after carefully observing for quite some time, finally arrived at a preliminary conjecture and judgment!
