Chapter 163: Plan to rescue the Eldest princess!

In her palace, Princess Luo Ying walked back and forth.

In her mind, she kept recalling the scene that happened in the royal palace.

Since she already had doubts in her mind, Princess Luo Ying noticed some more details that she might have ignored otherwise.

For example, her father’s eyes. Those were not the eyes that a human should have at all.

They were too indifferent.

Those eyes didn’t have any emotions that belonged to human beings.

The expression on her father’s face was also very stiff. In fact, her father’s face had no expression at all!

And when Princess Luo Ying took action, when she deliberately lied about a top secret mission, Princess Luo Ying became almost certain.

That was not her father!

Her father was possessed by the consciousness of the gods!

However, although Princess Luo Ying couldn’t be sure, she couldn’t think of any other way to refute this.

Although she was a princess, she had no one on her side.

It could be said that, besides Ning Cui, there was no one who could help her.

The guards outside her palace were also completely unreliable.

After all, she was a princess who was destined to have no relationship with the throne, and she was still very young. Why would she think of cultivating her own power?

The most crucial thing was that her own personal strength was not strong enough.

She was only a third-ranked magister!

In a small city, a 3rd ranked magister could be considered strong.

But in her current situation, if she wanted to destroy the conspiracy with absolute strength, she was weak, way too weak!

Now that the god had taken control of the overall situation after possessing her father, the guards of the entire royal palace had been replaced by the people of the church!

The Church was full of experts. Princess Luo Ying even saw a sixth-ranked Temple knight!

She had no strength and manpower at all!

If she went out to tell others about this, there won’t be anyone who would believe her!

And if she revealed the slightest bit of information, she would probably face a heavy blow from the Church.

The consciousness of the god, even if it was just a wisp of consciousness. It was not something she could deal with as a third-rank magister.

Besides, there was a huge Church!

The strength of the Church was not much weaker than the royal family!

Therefore, Princess Luo Ying could not think of any solution!

Princess Luo Ying thought of her aunt.

Her aunt was a powerful seventh-ranked magister. A month ago, she had returned to the royal palace to stay in the palace. But half a month ago, she vanished.

The people of the palace said that she left, but before she left, she would have at least come to say goodbye to Princess Luo Ying, but she didn’t come to say goodbye!



“Auntie has probably met with an untimely death.”

Princess Luo Ying thought.

Thinking of this, she couldn’t help but feel uncomfortable.

“It is also possible that they have locked her up.”

Princess Luo Ying tried to comfort herself.

However, the more she thought about it, the more likely she felt that the possibility of her aunt being locked up was higher. After all, she was a seventh ranked magister; the Church wouldn’t be willing to kill her, as they only had two seventh ranked magisters.

“If only I could find where my aunt was locked up.”

The princess thought about it and felt that this might be the most workable solution for her.

The first thing she needed to do was to find her aunt and then rescue her. Her aunt grew up alone and went to faraway places to study. She had a wide range of knowledge and powerful strength. She might find a way with her help!

Thinking of this, Princess Luo Ying called Ning Cui in.

“Princess, what happened?”

The sword maiden Ning Cui had long noticed that Princess Luo Ying was not doing well.

In the City of Miracles, Princess Luo Ying had not slept all night.

And even after returning to the palace, Princess Luo Ying still slept little at night. She went to the palace during the day, and at night, she looked up at various books related to God!

Princess Luo Ying’s behavior was very abnormal. If Ning Cui had not noticed it, she wouldn’t be Princess’s confidant. The strength of Ning Cui was not weak at all. She was a fourth-rank warrior, and her sword skills were very high. Never underestimate her. The princess thought about it for a while and then ran to the door and looked outside.

In fact, the princess’ residence was very large. As this was the core area, no one would come here without permission at all.

After closing the door behind her, Princess Luo Ying cast several small magic spells to eliminate any possibility of eavesdropping.

Then, with a grave expression, she said to Ning Cui.

“Ning Cui, Father is probably possessed by the gods!”

Ning Cui heard Princess Luo Ying’s words and let out an “ah“.

“Princess, is what you said true? Why would the gods possess the king?”

Ning Cui asked.

Looking at her expression, she was not yet worried, obviously she had not yet realized the seriousness of this matter.

Although she could not think of any solution for the time being, Princess Luo Ying did not panic. She was in a rather calm mood, because only by calming down could she find a way. Just panicking won’t work at all!

Princess Luo Ying said: “There must be something big happening that I don’t know about, not only is my father possessed, but they might have also locked my aunt up.”

“Ah! ”

Ning Cui let out another “ah“.

She finally realized the seriousness of the matter!

Ning Cui asked, “Princess, do you know where the eldest Princess is being held?”

Princess Luo Ying’s aunt was the king’s sister, and the other people addressed her as the eldest princess!

Princess Luo Ying shook her head and said, “I don’t know, that’s why I’m looking for you. Ning Cui, you are good at hiding, I’ll give you a few locations, can you help me find out if my aunt is locked up in any of those places?”

Ning Cui nodded and said with a serious face, “Princess, leave it to me. I’ll act at night!”

“Hmm!”

Princess Luo Ying took out paper and drew several locations.

Although she hadn’t been exposed to too many royal secrets, she knew several places that the royal family used to detain some powerful prisoners.

The magicians and knights were powerful individuals, and couldn’t be locked up in ordinary cells. Hence they used special cells for them.

These cells had a magic array, which could isolate the magician from feeling any ?magic at all, which was equivalent to a forbidden magic’s effect.

After the evening arrived, Ning Cui acted.

She put on a night suit and sneaked up in the royal city. In the royal city of the Xi Ling Kingdom, there was a curfew after 8 o’clock in the evening.

The purpose of this curfew was to reduce the occurrence of crimes.

That’s why in the evening there were very few people in the streets of the Xi Ling kingdom. There was only a group of soldiers patrolling.

Ning Cui did not walk on the ground, but jumped from one roof to another.

As a fourth-ranked warrior, this kind of flying was not a problem for her.

In her palace, Princess Liao Ying was still flipping through books all night.

These books had recorded a lot of God’s deeds.

Princess Luo Ying wanted to find cases in which the gods possessed mortals and then hoped to find a way!

She had already found several cases, but those few cases were not very helpful.

For example, in a distant kingdom, when it was founded, there was a great battle, and it looked like they were about to lose the battle. Just then the gods descended their power and attached the consciousness to a knight. As a result, that knight killed four enemies in one strike. This knight later also became the king.

As for how the consciousness of the god ended up, it was not recorded in the books.

For the people of the continent of the gods, sometimes being possessed by a god was not a bad thing.

The gods wouldn’t stay attached to the mortal body for so long.

Some people even took it as an honor.

But this time, Princess Luo Ying felt that it was not a good thing for her father to be possessed by the gods!

Because lots of events were happening because of it!

Combined with all the events that happened in the past month, Princess Luo Ying felt that this matter was extremely unfavorable for her father, for the royal family, and for her as well!

Especially her aunt’s unexplained disappearance.

The night passed quickly, and Princess Luo Ying fell asleep in a daze at dawn.

But soon, the sound of Ning Cui’s return woke her up again.

“Have you found it, Ning Cui?”

Princess Luo Ying asked.

Ning Cui shook her head and said.

“Not yet, Princess. I’ll go out during the day to get some information, and I’ll look for it again at night.”

Princess Luo Ying nodded her head.

During the daytime, Princess Luo Ying took advantage of the time, slept for hours and replenished her physical strength.

In the evening, Ning Cui went out again.

And at midnight, Ning Cui came back.

“Princess, I found it. They locked the eldest Princess up in the dungeon under the East City Church, but there are a lot of magical locks in that dungeon. I can’t unlock it. Princess. I’m afraid you will have to go out.”

Ning Cui said.

Her luck was good. She searched all the locations given by Princess Luo Ying but did not find any clue, but when she was passing by the East City Church. She overheard the bishop of that church talking to someone, saying that the Church headquarters drew away the sixth-ranked Temple knight guarding this place. He was a little uneasy and worried that the prisoners in the dungeon might escape!

Ning Cui decided to check the church on a whim, and after careful observation for a long time. She finally had preliminary speculation and judgment!
