At this moment, Novia spoke again: "It's been so long since we last met, why don't you come and greet your sister?"
Licinius paused again, still using that condescending tone that was annoying.
Lucimia watched this scene with great interest, then waved to appease the soldiers who cast inquiring glances at her, signaling them to stay calm and watch the show.
Licinius was silent for a moment, then turned around and stood at the door of the room, smiling and saying, "I am just an abandoned child exiled to the borderland. How can I get close to the great Valerius Novia?"
"Um?"
Novia had also imagined the scenario where the two siblings would meet again.
I thought he must have suffered a lot during this time outside, and would beg me to help him get home when we meet again.
But the fact seems not to be the case.
"Are you still upset about what happened back then?"
“It was my father’s decision,” she said.
"How could that be? I know it was my father's decision."
Li Xini turned to look at her companions, smiling brightly, "Are these my sister's teammates? As expected, they are legendary adventurers. And this priest, it turns out they are all our own. Please forgive me for not recognizing them when we first met. However, even if I don't know their identities, I can tell that some of them are outstanding people."
Klein felt that the atmosphere was a little off, but he didn't know why, so he could only smile politely.
Moon was not good at socializing, so he could only grin.
Among the four people, only Sphinx had a bright smile and charming red lips: "Oh, you look like a sweet-mouthed child. This seems to be different from what you said, Novia."
Novia said nothing.
Li Xini looked at the red-haired lady and said with a smile, "This lady is so beautiful."
After receiving the compliment, Stephanie covered her red lips and smiled particularly charmingly.
"sister."
Licinius suddenly asked, "Is this red-haired sister your new partner?"
Novia's delicate body suddenly stiffened, and she revealed an expression of disbelief.
"companion?"
Stephanie didn't understand what this meant, so she smiled and said, "We are good friends."
Novia's full chest rose and fell slightly, then she stood up with a cold face and walked straight to the door.
He stared coldly at his younger brother who was half a head taller than him.
"What do you mean?"
She lowered her voice and spoke each word with emphasis.
Every word is cold...
Li Xini smiled slightly, lowered his head to his sister's ear, stared at the crystal earlobe so close, and whispered: "Novia, I have given you enough face in front of outsiders. Don't think that you can talk to me in such a condescending manner just because you have become a fifth-level warlock. Don't forget what you rely on to rise."
Novia's beautiful eyes suddenly turned cold, as if a violent storm had been set off.
However, the next words the boy said made her completely stunned.
"Finally, I would like to remind you that even if you drive me out of the capital, it will be useless. I will always remember your secret."
Licinius paused: "Unless you kill me."
Snap…
Novia clenched her palms, and her knuckles made a crisp sound.
"You're a Ji."
Licinius blew into her ear teasingly: "My sister, you like women."
In silence, Novia discovered a fact that she was unwilling to admit.
This boy has changed.
It's completely different from before.
Chapter 22 Humiliate Me as Much as You Want
Novia has been a fifth-level warlock for half a year. With her strength and family background, she is admired wherever she goes. What's more, she is still so young and beautiful, and has a bright future.
No matter who you face, you have an overwhelming psychological advantage.
Until she came to Roma City, she was still thinking about what attitude she should adopt towards her younger brother, whether she should give him some care as an eldest sister, or continue to maintain high psychological pressure.
But either way, she was condescending.
Until this moment, her psychological advantage was broken, shattered and disappeared.
"Are you curious about how I know this? Who would have thought that the famous Miss Novia would secretly crave to roll and pant with a girl? When you teamed up to divide up the Norn family's property and planned to drive me out of the capital, I'm afraid you didn't think of this day, did you?"
Li Xini admired the exquisite profile of the silver-haired beauty. His gaze moved downward from her cheek, lingering on her delicate collarbone, and finally fixed on her full chest that rose and fell.
"Well, you've developed well, Novia."
He took a half step back and regained his harmless look: "Nice to meet you."
"You are very good."
Novia took a deep breath, stared at him intently, and clenched her teeth.
She didn't know how her biggest secret was exposed to the other person.
But it is obvious that the other party has undergone earth-shaking changes in these ten months.
At first, the boy didn't even dare to open his eyes and look at himself.
Now he actually dares to stare at my chest with a teasing look.
The onlookers felt puzzled. The reunion of the two siblings seemed to be a warm greeting, but there always seemed to be a hint of inexplicable tension.
"Of course I'm fine. Thanks to my sister, I've been doing pretty well lately."
Li Xini showed a face that asked for a beating: "In Roma City, if you have any problems, just come to me."
He was very familiar with his sister's personality.
If there were no outsiders around, the two siblings would have started "intimate interaction" long ago.
"It looks like you've become more capable, right? But you'd better think it over carefully."
Novia had a cold expression on her face. She lip-synched these words and turned around, leaving behind a slim and beautiful figure.
With a bang, the door was slammed shut.
Oh, I'm anxious and panicked.
Li Xini shrugged his shoulders. He would have to deal with this woman sooner or later.
But now, he has no interest in her.
Because Novia is also an out-and-out close combat warrior. In addition to strengthening magic, she also masters higher-level compound magic, that is, the ability to control metal. Although her combat power is exceptionally strong, she is just a barbarian woman who deals physical damage.
Not capable of killing him.
Bah, you vulgar warrior!
"The relationship between you and your sister seems a little subtle?"
Luciemia raised her eyebrows and said intentionally or unintentionally.
Li Xini spread his hands: "It's just a small conflict, it's normal, let's go."
Lucimia looked at him deeply. This young man was impeccable in terms of family background. It was a pity that he didn't have a good relationship with his family and couldn't practice magic. Otherwise, he would have great potential.
"Actually, I can understand you. My relationship with my family isn't very good either."
She raised her lips and said, "Let's go..."
The encounter of the Moonlit Kiss Adventure Group was just a small episode.
After all, this is in the military headquarters, and there are confidential personnel running around in various departments. This military base was built seventy years ago. The building has a total of five floors, and there are four floors underground.
As for the four underground floors, they are all prisons.
It holds important military criminals and five-star good citizens in the city.
"Snap! Ah! Snap! Ah!"
Screams and the sound of whips could be heard from the prison cells.
In the last interrogation room, former good classmates were shivering inside.
Including the four-member group, everyone looked pale and trembling like a sieve.
Lucimia had been hanging out in places like this for many years, and perhaps her mind had become distorted, but when she heard these voices, her face turned red and her thighs shook with excitement.
"Are you OK?"
Li Xini’s face had the look of an old man on the subway looking at his phone.
Luciemia replied shyly, "It's okay. Don't you think the sound is beautiful?"
Licinius didn't know what to say. This was his first time in the military headquarters, and he had entered such a heavy-tasting place. He saw rows of prison cells with all kinds of horrific torture instruments on the walls.
Branding iron, wooden yoke, and clamps.
And whips, collars, blindfolds, and so on.
"How terrible!" said Licinius.
“It’s really scary for some people.”
Lucimia said, “But some people get really excited when they get here.”
Licinius looked suspicious; he was not sure if the woman was talking about herself.
At this time, an officer walked over quickly and said respectfully, "Lady Lucimia! The suspect has been taken to the interrogation room for trial. We have prepared the confession room and it can be used at any time."
"Confessional?" Licinius asked curiously.
Lucimia raised her chin and pointed to the end of the corridor.
It was a dark room, and one could vaguely see a huge cross standing there, with a suffering saint tied to it, looking down as if staring at sinners.
And below the cross is an open bronze coffin.
"That is a set of magic tools from the Church, generally used to punish heretics. When you lie in it, you will be illuminated by the holy light. If you are innocent, you will only feel warm and relaxed. As for those who have learned black magic or obtained forbidden knowledge, they will be swallowed by the holy light and their souls will be purified into nothingness. Sounds scary, right? Don't be afraid..."
Lucimia was halfway through her words when she was suddenly stunned: "Licinius, eh? Licinius!?"
The silver-haired young man was found lying in the bronze coffin with his hands folded in front of his chest.
A holy light shone on his face, and he looked as peaceful as a corpse.
"Lady Lucimia, is the boy you brought back sick?"
The officer pointed to his head.
Luciemia was stunned.
"Forget it, forget about him and go interrogate the prisoner."
She snorted: "I don't want to lose the bet..."
o
An hour later, a group of people rushed into the basement.
Major Hayden rushed to the front with a livid face.
He had clearly made deliberate arrangements for today, and it should have been foolproof, but for some reason the young man still entered the military. This was a matter of life and death.
If the knowledge of the Dark Arts were to leak out, all would be lost.
Therefore, the empress issued a death order to rescue the people at all costs.
Major Hayden had no choice but to go to the military headquarters and prepare to face the storm.
"Lucimia Barron?"
He murmured, "What a difficult person to deal with..."
But the next moment, he was dumbfounded.
