Standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, one can see the black-armored knights marching in a grand procession.
Linda took a deep breath and gradually relaxed her body.
The other party is looking for the mysterious light staircase; what does that have to do with me?
I guess these people didn't have much hope. They just went through the motions, asked a couple of questions, and that was it.
But one woman caught Linda's attention.
The floor-to-ceiling windows are one-way glass, so people inside can see outside, but not vice versa.
Among the imposing, solemn, and menacing black-armored knights, there was a woman dressed in a light blue dress. Her attire was somewhat like that of a commoner, making her stand out from the knights.
The woman was about 1.7 meters tall, her face was covered with a white veil, and her long silver hair, like silk flowing with moonlight, gently fell onto her pert buttocks.
Linda couldn't detect any magic from the other person; he seemed to be an ordinary person through and through.
Why are they hanging out with the Knights of Judgment?
Linda thought suspiciously.
Before long, the group of black-armored knights arrived downstairs.
“Directly under the Royal Capital, this is my badge. You can infuse it with magic to view it.”
A knight wearing the badge of "Sacred Tree and Crown" spoke in a cold, hard voice.
"How shall I address you?" Linda confirmed the badge was correct before letting the black-armored knight into the house.
"You can call me Captain Leo. Names are just a name, please answer the questions truthfully."
Captain Leo waved his hand, and twelve black-armored knights surrounded Linda and the others.
The members of the Phoenix Flower team had already received Linda's orders and behaved quite obediently.
As per Captain Leo's instructions, each person was taken to a room for individual questioning.
In the living room, only Captain Leo and the woman with long silver hair remained.
The other person sat on the sofa with a straight back and hands seemingly casually placed on their knees, a posture most conducive to drawing a sword, easily suggesting that the other person had received combat training.
Linda: "Captain Rio, who is this?"
"Don't ask about things that don't concern you."
Captain Leo, with a stern face, asked, "Where were you last night, and what did you do?"
I heard that Luanwei suffered a major defeat on the 20th floor?
Will you be re-entering the next day?
Linda answered each question one by one.
Then they asked many more questions.
Knowing full well that the Black Armor Knights were coming, Linda responded methodically according to plan.
Ten minutes later.
The members of the Phoenix Flower were taken back to the hall by the black-armored knights.
They shook their heads at Leo, seemingly having gotten nothing useful out of him.
In truth, Leo knew in his heart that it couldn't possibly be related to Linda.
A Light-rank individual couldn't hide their presence from them. Leo himself was a Light-rank adventurer, and the moment he saw Linda, he determined that she was an unrelated Moon-rank individual.
This inquiry is solely in response to an order from the capital.
"We will notify you if there are any further issues. Also, please be careful lately, as cult members are quite active and they are also searching for that mysterious luminous figure."
Leo's attitude softened somewhat.
After saying that, he respectfully walked up to the silver-haired woman and said in a low voice, "Sir, it's time to go to the next place."
The woman was facing Linda's direction, seemingly deep in thought, and did not answer Captain Leo.
In fact, Leo wasn't quite sure about the woman's identity either. His superiors had only issued an emergency order, stating that this person would temporarily take over the South White-Red area.
She must be a young lady from the capital. Her influence is so great that she can even control the Knights of Judgment; a mere captain like him can't afford to offend someone like that.
Leo patiently repeated, "Sir, the search here is complete. We should move on to the next place."
At this moment, Linda pretended to be very busy, flipping through adventurer books. While she appeared to be reading, ninety percent of her attention was actually on the outside world.
As soon as Captain Leo finished speaking, the woman suddenly pointed a finger at Linda: "Are you [The Dark Shadow] Dailian?"
The voice was as cold and indifferent as moonlight, and one could clearly sense the indifference in the other party's attitude.
Although they couldn't see each other's faces, everyone in the living room could guess that the other person must be good-looking.
However, the question the woman asked was rather strange.
Captain Leo, the group of black-armored knights, and Lulu and the others were all stunned for a moment.
How could such an unrelated question suddenly pop up?
Aren't the Knights of Judgment here to find the Mysterious Light Rank?
Captain Leo coughed awkwardly and hinted indirectly, "Sir, the one you mentioned hasn't been heard from in three years. I think he must have died at the hands of the demons long ago."
As a native of the capital, Leo naturally knew about the once-unrivaled Dark Shadow, Dalian.
The captain of the Phoenix Flower in front of me is different from Dai Lian in every way except for his physique.
Leo chuckled and said, "You're also a fan of Dai Lian? Then I can tell you, you've mistaken me for someone else."
There was no 'light' in Dai Lian's eyes.
Even the legendary adventurer, Lady Evelyn, known as the "Cold Moon Flame," believed that Dailian was a puppet born for battle.
But as you saw during my questioning of Captain Lush Flower, she is a refined, easy-going, and cooperative citizen.
“—Yes.” Linda said in a daze.
Upon hearing this, Captain Leo revealed a "I knew it" expression.
The members of the Phoenix Flower team also breathed a sigh of relief, fearing that Linda might accidentally reveal the truth.
"Hmm, it seems I guessed right." The silver-haired woman stroked her chin thoughtfully.
For the next few minutes, the living room fell into a deathly silence.
Captain Luanweihua, what did you just say?
