Chapter 468: Ronin's Redemption

Ronin raised his head, and the pair of dark green eyes under the thick fiery red hair were looking into the distance in a bit of bewilderment.

He had a scar on his nose from the hand of a fellow apprentice, but regardless of the skill of the perpetrator, Rhonin never tried to fix it.

Even so, Ronin is far from ugly—he has a strong, graceful chin and an angular face. A pair of arched eyebrows make his expression always full of irony and suspicion.

The vast majority of people are superficial. Before they understand the other party's inner beauty, they will often deny the other party from the bottom of their hearts because of the bad habits brought about by the appearance association.

Luo Ning was also treated in the same way.

His appearance caused him trouble in communicating with high-level people more than once. Whenever he tried to alleviate all this, however, his vicious expression and slightly large body language could only play a role in the situation. Negative effects.

Dressed in elegant midnight-blue robes, he was tall and handsome, an eye-catcher, even for mages.

Luo Ning was silent, because he sacrificed five excellent companions in the last mission. For him who is locked up and awaiting interrogation, any extra words will make the accusations against him more severe.

He stood straight in the center of the room, looking back at the door, waiting for some mage to come in through the door and speak to him.

Interrogation, or the direct sentence of a certain big man on him.

The gates that seemed to be made of hard metal disappeared without a sound, and the gates built with magic power were all like this, controlled by a set of magic control programs that ordinary mages could not understand. You know, the Kirin Tor Council has used this cage system to imprison a very large number of felons in the Violet Prison below Dalaran, and has done so for hundreds of years.

The sudden light from the gate made Luo Ning turn his head sideways, his eyes slightly closed. But soon, he opened his eyes again and looked directly at the past.

Unexpectedly, what came was not the imposing judges and assistants, nor the familiar Krasus who was half his mentor, but a young mage with a handful of snow-white silver strands in his black hair. His hair color doesn't look dyed, but it doesn't match his too young face.

Luo Ning looked at the person who came, and the person who came was naturally Duke.

Duke was also looking at Ronin, and he saw a pair of dark green eyes as calm as a lake before a storm. There is no fear, and neither anger nor hatred. He could clearly see the ugly scar on Luo Ning's nose, and he could also see the helplessness under that vicious expression.

Not only that, even anger is hard to find - this feeling of incongruity makes it difficult for Duke to connect this person in front of him with the incomparably brilliant Kirin Tor Archmage in history.

It was the first time Duke had seen such an expression since he traveled through time. That is the expression that will appear after being abandoned by the teacher, scolded by colleagues, insulted by the world, and almost the enemy of the whole world.

If it is an ordinary person, most of them will hunched their bodies and lowered their heads when facing high-ranking people, trying to show a humble and pitiful posture as much as possible.

But Ronin didn't.

From opening the door to now, his posture has been upright and straight, without raising his chin, nor lowering his eyes, he just looked directly into Duke's eyes calmly.

right!

Luo Ning is not afraid of death, nor is he afraid of interrogation, he is just waiting for the result of a trial.

Is it eternal perdition, or... redemption?

"Hello Ronin, my name is Duke Marcus, first time meeting you."

Duke Marcus! ?

The year and a half of the Dark Portal War had spread Duke's name across the two continents.

For the first time, Luo Ning showed astonishment on his face. Why did such a well-known big shot come to see him?

"Sorry, please forgive my stupidity, my lord? I don't understand how a sinner like me can help you. Or, seeing someone like me, aren't you afraid that you will bring misfortune to you?"

Duke smiled.

"If it is really the power of the Goddess of Misfortune, maybe anyone who looks at it will encounter misfortune." Duke replied: "But your level of misfortune, for me who has suffered the curse of Sargeras, the boss of the Burning Legion, and only has one month of life left You really can bring misfortune, so now I should die in front of you immediately. Do you want to count down one? Three... two... one... I'm dead... Eh It seems that I am not dead yet. It seems that your misfortune is useless to me, so why don't you hang out with me for a while?"

Luo Ning was dumbfounded, he really couldn't keep up with the thoughts of the big man in front of him.

He felt that he was about to lose the ability to think. He thought he was on the verge of release from this awful mage life, and even this cursed life, when he was horribly held in place by the menacing Kirin Tor internal affairs forces and dragged away almost like a bag of trash.

But after the door was opened, Luo Ning found that what he ushered in was not the result of the trial-execution or destruction of the magic circuit in the whole body, and he would become a mortal who could not use magic in this life, but a superhero who should only appear in legends. Big people mix?

Ronin was a little confused.

Duke rubbed his head: "It seems that my sign doesn't work well! Then, for the sake of the alliance, for the sake of all humans, dwarves and high elves, can you do me a favor? This is a very dangerous situation. high task..."

When Duke said this, Luo Ning suddenly came to his senses.

Luo Ning lowered his head for the first time, and then raised it up quickly, but there were a few tears in the corners of his eyes. He shouted hoarsely: "Yes! I am willing to do anything! I don't ask for any credit, as long as I can Let me wash away the sins on my body a little bit, so that I don't have to think of the faces of the victims' families every night, and make my heart feel better, even if I die, I am willing!"

Duke was taken aback, and immediately came to his senses.

The historical process of Azeroth still retains the original inertia. But this is different from the original historical point in time. At the original node, Luo Ning ran to rescue the Red Dragon Queen, that was after the war ended and he was imprisoned for a long time. At that time, Luo Ning's mood had already calmed down, or his heart was ashamed.

But now, after Luo Ning committed the crime, he felt the most painful and his conscience was most condemned.

Just as he was at a loss before the cliff and couldn't find his way, when he was venting his inner pain, Duke stretched out a simple wooden bridge on the other side of the cliff.

Although it seems unsafe, despite all kinds of puzzles, there is no doubt that this is the only salvation for Ronin at this moment.

Duke lowered his head and sighed: "Ronin, since you're messing with me, let me tell you why your magic keeps getting out of control."
