Chapter 312

"Dongcheng Church!"

Princess Luoying knew that church.

Dongcheng Church was once the largest church in Wang Cheng, but over a decade ago it was surpassed by the newly built Central Church, and its status among the city's several churches plummeted accordingly.

Today, Dongcheng Church is managed by a Chengquzhu Sect, and its sole function is to serve as a place for residents of the Dongcheng District to pray each weekend.

Who would have thought the Church had locked her aunt away there!

"I remember—once, the Church imprisoned a powerful enemy nation mage in the dungeon beneath Dongcheng Church; there must be a complete magic array down there!"

Princess Luoying recalled, saying.

Ningcui asked: "Princess, are you certain?"

Princess Luoying thought for a moment, then pulled a magic scripture from her magic pouch.

She flipped to a page, studied it for a while, then smiled.

"Found it."

She said.

"If it were another magic array, my magical expertise wouldn't be enough to break it—but this one is documented. Come, Ningcui, let's go there."

Princess Luoying said, excited.

Ningcui grabbed her arm: "Princess, it's still daytime!"

"Ah!"

Princess Luoying finally realized she'd gotten too carried away.

"At night, I'll take you."

Ningcui said.

"Mm!"

That day, Princess Luoying studied the magic scripture nonstop, determined to fully master the method to break the magic array!

Meanwhile, Ningcui left the princess's residence, changed her attire, and disguised herself as an ordinary citizen to familiarize herself with Dongcheng Church's conditions.

Soon, night fell.

"Father King never summoned me."

Princess Luoying said, disappointed.

At Wang Gong, when Princess Luoying rushed in to test him, "Father King" had said he would summon her after the meeting to reward her.

But two days have passed, and there's still no sign of a summons.

Over these days, Princess Luoying read many books about deities and gained some understanding of their behavioral logic.

Even if the deity's consciousness on "Father King" suspected Princess Luoying had discovered the truth, as long as she didn't shout it aloud, the deity likely didn't regard her at all.

That's the logic of gods.

The deity's descent must be for something monumental—details and trivialities mean nothing to them!

Gods are too powerful.

Princess Luoying, a Third Rank mage, is like an ant to a god—so what if she knows?

So the deity's consciousness on her father simply ignored her.

Of course, the Church may have quietly placed her under surveillance—if she makes any radical move, the Church will strike!

But that's perfect—it lets Princess Luoying carry out her plan in secret.

Under Ningcui's guidance, the two hurried toward Dongcheng Church.

About three hours later, they arrived near Dongcheng Church.

This time they were breaking into a prison; to avoid drawing attention, both wore black martial attire.

Curfew had been in effect for some time already.

The two women hid near Dongcheng Church, waiting.

After ten at night, all lights inside Dongcheng Church went out completely!

Of course, the Chengquzhu Sect still lived inside the church.

Outside, patrols of soldiers kept moving continuously.

"Princess, follow me—I did something to this window behind it during the day."

Ningcui led Princess Luoying to the back of the church.

Then she carefully pushed open a glass window covered in colorful stickers and leapt inside first.
