Vimona rose all the way and flew across the clear blue sky. Fangzheng sat on a chair and looked at the scenery in front of him without saying a word. Rahm and Rehm stood quietly on both sides of Fangzheng. Although they tried their best to appear calm, they could not. After all, they were heading to the capital of a kingdom, and they had to meet the actual ruler of that kingdom. This was a little too exciting for the two girls who had been living in an ordinary village until now.
"Don't worry."
Fangzheng smiled when he saw their slightly stiff expressions.
"Nothing will go wrong."
"But, Lord Fangzheng, things aren't that simple …."
Rahm looked at Fangzheng uneasily. She was no fool. After knowing the identity of the person Fangzheng killed, Rahm was also very worried.
"That's not something you should worry about. It's the other party who should worry."
Having said that, Fangzheng snorted lightly.
"I'd like to see how these people explain how their nobles are mixed up with the cultists!"
"…."
Rahm and Rehm looked at each other in surprise when they heard Fangzheng's answer. They were obviously going to be interrogated, but why did Fangzheng look like he was the one going to interrogate the criminal?
Vimona was naturally not slow. It didn't take long for the three of them to arrive at the capital of Luganica. Fangzheng tapped on the armrest a few times, and the golden airship circled in the air and landed directly at the gate of Luganica's palace. At that moment, the guards who saw the golden airship hurried forward and surrounded the airship with their weapons raised.
"Who are you? Why are you trespassing into the palace? "
The captain of the guards clenched the longsword at his waist and looked at the golden airship in front of him in bewilderment. It was the first time he had seen something that could fly freely in the sky. He had no idea what to do.
"The Sage Society invited us here. Go and inform them."
Fangzheng casually tossed the letter over. After catching the letter, the guard captain immediately opened it and glanced at it. Then, he quickly hid his expression.
"Please wait a moment."
As he spoke, the captain of the guards quickly ran into the palace. Only the soldiers were still surrounding Vimona, but they were just putting on a show. After all, this was a flying ship. If Fangzheng flew a little higher, the soldiers could only stare at him.
"Phew … How boring."
Fangzheng leaned back in his seat, yawned lazily, and snapped his fingers.
"Lahm, have some tea."
"Yes, Lord Fangzheng."
As he spoke, Lahm picked up a tea tray that appeared out of thin air in front of him and skillfully brewed tea. The three of them drank tea while being surrounded by the guards.
Seeing this, the soldiers looked at each other in dismay, not knowing what to do. They had never seen such a person before …. He was completely looking down on them, the guards!
After a while, the captain of the guards came out again.
"Sorry to keep you waiting. Please follow me."
"Okay."
Upon hearing the captain's words, Fangzheng nodded, then led Lahm and Rehm down the airship and into the palace.
The heavy gate slowly opened. The voice of the captain of the guards was heard.
"Sorry to keep you waiting. Lord Fangzheng and his entourage have arrived."
As the gate opened, Fangzheng slowly walked into the hall. Almost everyone involuntarily turned to look at him.
At the same time, Fangzheng also looked at the people in front of him.
There were two groups of people in different clothes on both sides of the hall. Judging from their appearance, the people on the left in white should be military officials, while the people on the right in purple should be civil officials. The throne in the middle of the hall was empty. There was a row of tables on both sides of the throne, and six old men with white hair and beards were sitting there.
If Fangzheng's guess was right, they were the members of the Society of Sages.
"You're Fangzheng?"
Asked an old man in the middle of the table on the left. Fangzheng nodded.
"Yes, that's me."
"Then, you should know why we summoned you."
"Is it about me killing Rozwald?"
"— — —!?"
As soon as Fangzheng's voice fell, everyone except for the members of the Society of Sages looked surprised. Obviously, this matter was considered a secret within the Kingdom of Lugnica, and probably only a few people knew about it.
"That's right. Rozval is the Count of Luganica's border and the chief mage of the court. Although we've learned about the situation from the messenger of the Kingdom of Reystij, we still want to hear your explanation in person."
"Lord Myrotov! What the hell is going on?! "
At this moment, an ugly looking man among the civil officials immediately screamed.
"Lord Rozwald was killed? Is this the doing of the Kingdom of Reystij? Are they trying to start a war with Lugnica? "
"Don't be impatient."
The old man named Myrotov coughed and looked at Fangzheng again.
"Well then, please explain."
"As the saying goes, seeing is believing."
However, to their surprise, Fangzheng did not immediately explain as everyone thought he would. Instead, he chuckled and took half a step forward.
"You'll overthink it, and I'm too lazy to explain, so I'll just show you."
As he spoke, Fangzheng turned on his personal terminal. Soon, a holographic image was projected in the air and appeared in front of everyone. Looking at the image in front of them, everyone couldn't help but widen their eyes in surprise. Some even exclaimed, but soon, they were attracted by the content of the image.
On the image was the village that was attacked by the Witch Cult before, as well as the Witch Cult members who were running around in it. At this time, Fangzheng also spoke.
"I received an invitation from Cang Qiang, saying that a cult called the Witch Cult had appeared in the border area of the kingdom. In order to investigate, I went to the border with Cang Qiang's people. However, I found the village that was attacked by the Witch Cult. By the time I arrived, the Witch Disciples had already won a great victory. "
Looking at the slaughtered bodies of the villagers and the fleeing Witch Cult members on the screen, many of the military officers frowned and showed an angry expression. On the other hand, the military officers were much calmer. As for Lahm and Liam, they couldn't help but think of their own village when they saw the scene in front of them. At this moment, they also lowered their heads and clenched their hands.
The image in the video was shot from Fangzheng's perspective. After all, it was recorded by Fangzheng's personal terminal, and the angle of the video was similar to that of a law enforcement camera. However, compared to those shaky cameras, the personal terminal was more stable, and the image wouldn't shake.
Then, everyone saw Fangzheng arriving, defeating the Witch Cult members and rescuing a pair of sisters. Then, Rozval appeared and launched an attack on Fangzheng. Then, he was killed by Fangzheng.
When Rozval's figure bloomed into a gorgeous firework in the night sky, the video ended there.
"Okay, that's the gist of it."
Fangzheng turned off his personal terminal and shrugged.
"At the time, I only thought he was a high-ranking member of the Witch Cult. Later, I found out that he was some sort of court mage …. That's it."
"Nonsense!"
At this time, the military officer who spoke before also reacted and loudly rebuked Rozval.
"You obviously did it on purpose! Look at Lord Rozval's clothes. Can't you tell that he's a noble? "
"I really can't. If he was even a little bit like a normal person, I wouldn't have acted so quickly."
"Ugh …."
In the face of Fangzheng's indifferent rebuttal, everyone was speechless for a while. After all, Rozval's clothes and actions were far from normal. It was not entirely impossible for Fangzheng to say that he mistook Rozval for a Witch Cult member.
"This, this is all nonsense! You must have faked this video! "
However, the military officer's face turned green, but he soon spoke again. He glared at Fangzheng and roared.
"Oh, what's the reason?"
"Lord Rozval is the court's chief mage. His strength is unquestionable! But in that video, you killed him with just one swing of your sword. That's absolutely impossible! "
Although the military officer's words were a little unreasonable, many people nodded in agreement. As he said, although Rozval's character was a well-known problem, his strength was also well-known. Otherwise, the kingdom would not have appointed him as the Earl of the Border.
The young man in front of them looked to be in his early twenties, and no one had heard of his name on this continent before. It was hard to believe that such an unknown young man could kill the chief mage Rozval with one strike.
"What do you think? What else do you have to say? "
"I don't have anything to say."
Fangzheng shrugged calmly.
"Maybe to you, that Rozval guy is very strong, but unfortunately, he couldn't even withstand one strike from me. He's nothing but a piece of trash."
"What …."
"And this time, it's your turn to answer my questions."
At this point, Fangzheng's expression suddenly changed. At the same time, everyone felt the air suddenly become a lot heavier.
"What do you mean by asking me to come here this time? Are you just here to find out about the situation in the name of the Kingdom of Luganica? Or … Are you here to avenge your companions? "
"What do you mean by that?"
"I mean exactly what I mean."
Fangzheng narrowed his eyes and glanced around at the people around him. He then stretched out his hand and pressed it on the shoulders of the two girls beside him.
"As you can see, these two children are the survivors of this tragedy. I've adopted them. But I won't tolerate a cult like the Witch's Cult to continue running rampant. They destroyed the hometown of these two children, so I've decided to destroy the Witch's Cult. So, if anyone here is an accomplice of Rozval, step forward and accept your death. Don't waste my time. "
"You … you mean Lord Rozval is a Witch's Cult? That's ridiculous! "
"Can you guarantee that? Can you guarantee that Rozval has nothing to do with the Witch's Cult? Then why did he appear at the scene of the Witch's Cult's attack? That's the territory of the Kingdom of Reyestij. Why would a border Count of Luganica go to a remote forest in another country? For a vacation? "
"I …"
Faced with Fangzheng's question, the civil servant immediately shut up.
How could he guarantee that?
He couldn't even guarantee a normal person's safety, let alone a well-known freak like Rozval! In fact, if Rozval really had something to do with the Witch's Cult, it wouldn't be surprising at all!
"That's enough."
At this time, the old man from the Society of Sages finally spoke.
"Mr. Fangzheng, let's not talk about why Rozval went there or whether he has anything to do with the Witch's Cult. There's no concrete evidence at the moment. These are just your own words."
"Oh, so what?"
"In any case, Rozval is the border Count of Luganica, the chief court mage. Shouldn't you give us an explanation for killing him?"
"Yes, I should give you an explanation."
Faced with the old man's question, Fangzheng nodded.
"That's why I'm here, isn't it? Well, that's all. If there's nothing else, I'll go back. I can still make it for lunch. "
"…"
Faced with Fangzheng's unexpected answer, everyone was stunned. After a while, the old man frowned and said, "It's not a big deal."
"That's your … explanation?"
"That's right, I stepped on an ant and told you why I wanted to kill it. I think that's enough," Wang Zhong said.
Fangzheng spread his hands and looked at the people in front of him with a rather innocent look.
"What else do you want?"
Hearing this, everyone was stunned.
