"Do you know who I am?"
Luciemia looked arrogant.
“Does it matter who you are?”
Li Xini continued to play badly: "Even if you are His Majesty, I still doubt you!"
Lucimia was silent for a long time, and suddenly remembered what her father had said to her.
If you can't accept criticism with an open mind, you will never make progress.
"Very good, Valerius Licinius!" she said coldly.
Licinius thought she was finally enraged, and happily stepped forward to be detained by her.
As a result, he heard the next sentence.
“I admire you even more!”
Luciemia curled her red lips.
Licinius: "Fuck!"
"Although you don't have a talent for magic, you have a noble character, outstanding abilities, and most importantly, you dare to speak. Talents like you shouldn't be buried like this. So, do you want to come to the military headquarters for a visit? If I'm really wrong, then prove it to me." Lucimia said meaningfully.
Licinius: "..."
o
The City Lord's Mansion has a large courtyard with birds singing and flowers blooming.
Under the cool shade of the tree, the empress, in a white military uniform, sat lazily on a recliner, her long legs crossed, and she lowered her head to flip through an ancient book: "Sir Neil, how is it going?"
The people in the Control Bureau are not easy to deal with. They are known as a group of living Shuras and they are not easily persuaded by any tactics or soft tactics.
So far, the empress still has no way to deal with them.
Old Neil stood beside her, hesitant to speak.
"Although I am reluctant, if the people from the Bureau of Control come, they will definitely turn Roma City upside down, and my hidden troops will have to retreat. No matter what, Licinius must be saved. The knowledge of dark magic in his head is too important."
The empress said calmly: "As for the death of those prisoners, let's put it aside for now."
Old Neil held it in for a long time: "Your Majesty..."
The empress raised her head, a hint of doubt appeared on her beautiful face: "Hmm?"
"I just received a message from Tria that Miss Luciemia has started arresting people at the Royal National Knight Academy."
Old Neil said awkwardly: "As for Li Xini, he followed Miss Lucimia into the military."
Empress: “…”
Chapter 21 Novia, the Secret of Reunion
North of Loma City, military restricted area.
Lucimia walked in the front, her golden twin ponytails rising and falling with the swaying of her waist, and her pair of long snow-white legs under her white windbreaker trembled intentionally or unintentionally, so white that it was dazzling.
The sunlight shone on her fair and delicate face, and her white windbreaker fluttered in the wind.
Those burly and stern soldiers followed behind her.
Licinius followed behind and was surprised to see that wherever the woman passed, all the soldiers bowed and saluted.
This shows that her status is indeed very high.
He is even very powerful in the military.
No wonder Tria also found this woman difficult to deal with.
"Ms. Lucimia, I'm really not a person of noble character. To me, those people are nothing more than a bunch of lowly people. I don't have a good relationship with them. The reason why I chose to save them yesterday was indeed because I wanted to improve my reputation in front of the girls."
Li Xini's face was full of worry: "Tria, it's because of Tria, the girl who came with me. Cecil and I are rivals in love, so things are really not what you think!"
Luciemia hummed, "I know, the girl who came with you was Tria. Before I left, I sent someone to ask her, and she said you are a very good and gentle boy."
Licinius' face darkened. How could this damned lustful demon slander someone's innocence with his empty mouth
"I didn't expect you to be such a stubborn person."
Lucimia nodded in satisfaction. "Is this what all honest people do? I've seen too many spineless people. This is the first time I've met someone like you who can do this for his companions."
This kind of persistence does show that he has the potential to be a detective.
"I really didn't do this for them."
Licinius thought, what can I say to make you believe it
"They slandered you and wanted to take away your credit and honor. You are actually willing to repay evil with kindness. Is it because you were ostracized in the capital that you cherish life here? Do you want to gain their recognition? I understand you, but you should just give up. Those civilians are not worth your efforts."
Lucimia smiled and said, "But if they are really okay, I will let them go."
Licinius's eye twitched.
"The Valerius family doesn't have a very good eye for people."
Lucimia said casually, "They actually exiled you to a place like this."
"Oh, what the hell is it to you?"
Licinius gave up for the moment the idea of persuading her.
I have to say that the Empress's move was really too brilliant.
People are often willing to believe answers that can only be obtained through hard thinking.
By taking advantage of this psychology, many superficial things can easily be overlooked.
And he always felt that although this woman was a detective, she was actually not very smart.
"Loma City is a very dangerous place. There are a group of dark magic users roaming around here. These people are often extremely dangerous. My mother died at the hands of a dark magic user."
Lucimia was not angry and said, "Perhaps it would be more appropriate to call them heretics. These people are extremely crazy and irrational, but I will definitely catch them before they act next time."
Licinius asked, "What will happen if we catch him?"
Lucimia thought for a moment and said, "Find a way to send them to the court and sentence them to death."
Licinius suddenly spasmed with excitement: "Let me tell you, I am a user of black magic!"
Lucimia smiled slightly: "I'll tell you a secret, I'm your Majesty's illegitimate daughter."
Licinius: "You look about the same age as His Majesty at most. Why are you making trouble with me?"
Luciemia said calmly: "You were the one who started the trouble."
Licinius: "..."
How the hell did you become a detective!
I wish this woman had half the wisdom of the empress.
"Don't try to be cunning in front of me. I'll get the result after I'm done interrogating those people."
Luciemia said confidently.
Licinius calculated that about fifty people were sent to the military.
I don’t know if there is any hidden agent of the Empress here.
However, with Major Hayden's help from both inside and outside, it should be possible to extract most of the people.
The fact that Tria was not suspected is a good proof.
"Oh, just you?"
Licinius shrugged: "Forget it..."
"Really? It seems like you are really dissatisfied with me."
Luciemia was still not angry, and a playful smile appeared on her lips: "How about we make a bet? If I lose, I will find a way to get you back to the capital, but if you lose..."
"No, what's the point of such a boring bet?"
Li Xini snorted coldly and said: "How about this..."
So and so.
After hearing this, Luciemia trembled and wanted to refuse.
But it was the first time that she met a young man who didn't care about her family background and dared to question and contradict her.
Out of her sinister desire to win, she pursed her lips and nodded with forced calmness.
"Okay, it's a deal!"
o
o
With a bang, the door was closed gently.
"Novia! Guess who I met at the Royal National Knight Academy today?" After Klein returned to the military headquarters, he couldn't wait to share what he saw and heard at the academy with his companions.
Novia was sitting on the sofa meditating at the moment, without even raising her eyes: "Hmm? My brother?"
Sifanny sat beside her, holding a cigarette between her slender fingers, puffing out smoke: "Hey, even if you guessed it, don't be so anxious to say it. You are a good woman in every way, but you are too smart."
"He went to the Royal National School of Knights, and I only have two acquaintances there."
Novia finally raised her beautiful eyes. Her pupils were a breathtaking black, but the pure white outside the black had a very hidden temptation and charm. Her voice was cold and clear: "Licinius, and Norn."
Klein shrugged, thinking that nothing could be hidden from this woman.
"It's really hard to keep Novia in suspense."
Moon said, "Klein, have you made any progress in investigating the black magic?"
Klein smiled mysteriously: "Not yet, but I saw something very interesting at the Royal National Knight Academy. Novia, do you want to come out with me to see who is here?"
The room they were in was the military's VIP lounge.
Suddenly, hurried footsteps were heard outside.
Novia raised her carefully painted eyebrows, raised her white palm, and pushed into the air.
With a click, the door was pushed open by an invisible force.
Outside the corridor, Lucimia was seen striding towards the prison area surrounded by a group of officers. Among the crowd was a familiar yet unfamiliar figure, looking around with a distracted look on his face.
Licinius…
Novia narrowed her eyes. Even though she hadn't seen him for almost a year, she recognized him at a glance.
He actually appeared in the military.
"Valerius Licinius."
She spoke directly, her cold voice echoing in the corridor.
Licinius suddenly stopped in his tracks; this voice was extremely familiar to him.
Damn, I never expected to see this woman here!
That makes sense. There's a war on the front line, and as legendary adventurers, they will definitely go and join in the fun.
Whether it is to gild your resume in the military or to improve your resume.
Licinius should have thought of that earlier.
"Someone is calling you."
Lucimia reminded him. She knew that the Moonlit Kiss Adventure Group was now in the military, and the strongest sword ghost among them was the sister of the young man in front of her.
"Ah, I know."
Licinius nodded, then turned and looked at the open door on the side.
The silver-haired beauty was sitting on the sofa, looking at him from afar. She was still so beautiful after not seeing her for so long, with a always carefully painted cold face, an otherworldly temperament, and cold elegance.
However, no matter how glamorous she is in the eyes of others, she is just a little bitch in his eyes.
He withdrew his gaze and did not intend to say hello, but wanted to turn around and leave.
"Licinius..."
