The capital was still brightly lit at night.
Her Highness Princess Nuo Nuo was going to hold a palace ball tonight. This kind of news was somewhat interesting to hear in this troubled time.
The ball was nominally for Her Royal Highness's sixteenth birthday.
Although a palace banquet had been held on this birthday more than ten days ago, there was no ball because Princess Nono was not feeling well at the time.
Nominally, this ball was made up.
But the influential people in the capital knew that Her Royal Highness's ball was definitely not so ordinary.
Almost all the dignitaries in the capital were invited on the invitation list.
Except for His Majesty the King who might not appear at the ball because he was feeling unwell recently, everyone else was invited.
Including the High Priest of the Temple of Light.
…
"Ball?"
In the Great Shadow Shrine, Capella sneered as he looked at the invitation in his hand, "Her brother is about to be executed, and she still has the mood to hold a ball?"
"Who can say for sure about the affairs of the royal family? It is said that Prince Aragon and Princess Nono have an excellent relationship. But with the Nottingham royal family in this state, the possibility of the first queen in history cannot be ruled out. "
The attendant on the side said respectfully, "In my opinion, she specially invited you to preserve the bloodline of the Nottingham royal family."
Capella muttered, "Or, does she want to fight to the death?"
The attendant shook his head and said, "The old king no longer has that ability, and how much power does that little girl have? How big of a wave can she make?"
"Aragon volunteered to be imprisoned, and now he is locked in the divine water dungeon. Even if he wants to escape, he will alarm the four priests."
"With the four sirs working together, he will never escape."
"But if you are really not interested, you naturally don't have to care."
Capella said indifferently, "Just say that I'm not feeling well."
The attendant nodded slowly. He was just about to bend over to inform the people outside the door when the always decisive High Priest suddenly changed his mind.
"Wait!"
"I'll go."
"Nono is not that simple. The people she secretly roped in are not as good as her brother, but they also have some power of their own. "
"All these years, the old King seems to have intentionally given her power. He must have foreseen something."
"They certainly wouldn't dare to have a falling out with the Temple, but Aragon's actions will undoubtedly anger the Temple. If she really wants to leave a bloodline for the Nottingham royal family, I'd like to see how she's going to please the Temple tonight. If not, tonight is also a good opportunity. "
"Nottingham Forest has ruled Thompson for so many years. It's not surprising that it's over now."
After saying that, she stood up slowly and waved her robe.
"I'm going to change."
"When was the last time you danced?"
…
Outside the Great Shadow Shrine, the supreme high priest and the others got on the carriage and slowly drove towards the capital.
The King's Path was built from the capital all the way to the foot of the Snowy Mountains of the East Pole. It was the smoothest and safest route.
It wouldn't take more than fifteen minutes to reach the palace from here.
However, these 15 minutes were enough for Ma Wen to take action.
In the dark shadows, the nightwalkers moved quietly.
His whereabouts were erratic, but his ultimate goal was the high and mighty Shadow Shrine!
The high priest was the Shadow Prince's Chosen One. Although she did not have legendary strength, every corner of the Shadow Shrine was within her perception range!
She usually stayed in the Shrine and rarely went out.
The key to Ma Wen's plan this time was to draw the high priest out of the Shrine at all costs.
The princess' ball was just a smokescreen, a cover.
Of course, if the high priest did not leave the Shrine, Ma Wen still had a trick up his sleeve.
"The first step is going well. This high priest is really suspicious."
Ma Wen sneered in his heart. He suddenly accelerated and swept past the two guards.
The two seemed to feel nothing at all. They just stood there.
This was the benefit of 180 points of super sneak.
With Erikson's brooch, Ma Wen had the confidence to fight against the Shadow Shrine.
He had to make it quick!
The princess could not be delayed for long!
Ma Wen quickly shuttled through the Shadow Shrine according to the route in his memory.
Soon, he bypassed a group of clerics and came to the prayer hall.
In the center of the hall, there were thousands of candles, and the statue of the Shadow Prince was a man wearing a mask.
The stone statue shone with the light of shadows.
"Glenos …"
Ma Wen stared coldly at the stone statue with divinity. The stone statue did not feel anything at all.
Erikson's brooch could even deceive the Celestial Insight Envoy, let alone a god statue blessed with detection magic!
The next second, Ma Wen did not stay any longer. He bypassed the prayer hall and found an entrance leading down.
This was the Divine Cage.
There were all kinds of prisoners at the bottom of the stairs, and the prisoners were often more dangerous.
There were also all kinds of experts on this staircase.
As far as Ma Wen knew, the strongest on this staircase should be the four old farts.
They had been guarding the last layer of the seal for many years.
The whole Divine Cage had a total of six layers.
Ma Wen slipped into the cage with ease.
He had to be careful when he was here.
Although detection magic could not find Ma Wen, it would be troublesome if he stepped on any alarm.
"Time is running out."
He wiped his sweat and directly skipped the first three layers.
A felon like Aragon must be in the fourth or fifth layer of the water dungeon.
Sure enough, he found Aragon stripped naked in the fourth layer of the water dungeon.
There were many whip marks on his body. His lower body was soaked in green liquid, and two handcuffs were tightly wrapped around his wrists.
There were a total of six guards on this floor.
Each guard was a level-15 Paladin.
Ma Wen quietly walked over.
"Are you ready?"
A mosquito-like voice came into Aragon's ears.
The distressed prince suddenly raised his head.
The six Paladins noticed the abnormality here at the same time. One of them sneered: "What are you looking at?"
"Filthy creature that defies the will of God, if not for the High Priest's order, I would burn you to death with divine fire right now!"
Aragon slowly raised his head, looked at the Paladin seriously, and said:
"Give me a sword."
The six Paladins were stunned for a moment, and in the next second, they laughed wildly:
"What's wrong with you? Why should we give you a sword? "
But at this moment, a cold light suddenly flashed in the darkness.
Clang! Clang!
Two crisp sounds, the Burning Prairie of Fury directly cut the divine shackles!
Under the shocked gaze of the Paladins, Aragon took the sword and stepped out of the acid pool.
His eyes were as calm as ever:
"After tonight, there will be no more Paladins."
