Chapter 290

Today was definitely not a peaceful day for the Royal Capital.

In less than a few hours, the news of the annihilation of the Royal Knights in the Adol Canyon had spread throughout the streets and alleys of the Royal City.

This was a piece of news that could not be blocked.

After all, the incident was too serious. The wasteland outside the Adol Canyon was still there, and the knights and adventurers who were scared back were rushing back to the Royal Capital in groups. Many people had seen this with their own eyes. Coupled with the previous lockdown of the Royal Capital and the abnormal magical beasts, the people of the Royal Capital had been paying close attention to the recent events.

Under such circumstances, the speed at which the news spread was extremely fast. It was impossible to block the news in time.

Hence, the Royal Capital was in an uproar today. There was no way to calm it down at all.

Of course, this was just the appetizer.

The real unrest only began after that.

First of all, a dragon was seen flying into the capital city, causing great panic.

As the king of magical beasts, the dragon actually flew into the Royal Capital in such a dignified manner. If Rosie had not sent someone to the Royal Capital to inform them in advance, the Royal Knights would have been dispatched.

Then, Shien and the others who rode You Lin back to the Royal Capital were also summoned by the Royal Palace. They did not have the time to go home to eat and rest, and were hurriedly led into the Royal Palace by the Royal Knights.

This was especially so for Sean, who was You Lin's master. There was also news that he had gone to the Adol Canyon before the incident, had a conflict with the Royal Knights, and finally stayed in the canyon for a whole night. All of this information had been passed on to others, so he would not be uninvolved.

Since that was the case, it was natural that the Royal Capital wanted to question him.

And Shien did not hide anything. In the hall of audience, in front of all the royal family and nobles, he readily admitted it.

"I was indeed the one who annihilated the Royal Knights that were guarding the canyon."

At that time, all the nobles in the hall fell into a deathly silence. Even Anxi could not remain calm and was in a state of confusion.

It could not be helped. They had never seen such an arrogant criminal who dared to admit his crimes in front of the Royal Throne. He even admitted it so readily and in such a refreshing and refined manner.

However, soon after, they realized that this matter was unusual.

"The Galuoli Family secretly joined forces with the Old Demons to carry out an evil magic ritual in the Adol Canyon in an attempt to harm the Royal Capital."

Shien told everyone the truth.

He did not mention the young Demons, nor did he mention the Alchemy Ritual. He merely told them that the Galuoli Family had joined forces with the Old Demons to carry out an evil magic ritual.

The evidence was that they ignored the instructions of Her Royal Highness Rosie and completely excluded others from entering the Adol Canyon. This behavior was abnormal in itself.

In addition, there were still many alchemy demons in the Adol Gorge that had yet to be dealt with. The kingdom only needed to send people into the gorge to investigate, and they would be able to discover these facts.

Apart from that, Sean also provided news that the Galuoli Family had secretly brought their private army to the Adol Canyon, and that many nobles had joined forces with them to commit crimes in the Adol Canyon.

These things could be investigated..

The corpses of the Galuoli Family's Black Knights were still in the Adol Canyon, including the two Deputy Commanders of the Royal Knights. The Royal Capital could send people to investigate.

It was the same for those noble families. A simple investigation would reveal that they had been gathering frequently recently and had left the Royal Capital en masse. Their whereabouts were unknown.

These were all suspicious points, and there were traces to follow.

"I've decided to punish these foolish nobles and knights for the sake of the Royal Capital and the people."

Shien claimed so.

In the end, the palace discussed this matter for a long time. In the end, as Shien had expected, they decided not to pursue the matter due to the strength that Shien had displayed and the suspicious actions of the Royal Knights.

Although many nobles also claimed that Sean had committed a great crime and caused the royal palace to lose so many troops, he should be arrested. Some even claimed that Sean was a spy sent by the neighboring country to harm the kingdom, just like Tierre's mother ten years ago. However, these people could not produce any evidence at all, and they were afraid of what Sean had done. In the end, they could not make any waves.

It was mainly because the fact that Shien had become the master of the Black Dragon of Adol made many people fearful.

And because of this matter, the Royal Capital paid more attention to Shien.

"To be able to tame such a high-level dragon, this adventurer has most likely learned a rather high-level [Taming] skill."

The higher-ups of the Royal Capital, led by Anxi, thought of this, and looked at Shien in a different light.

After all, the large number of wyverns that the Taming Master of the Royal Capital had tamed was a considerable combat power and assistance.

The Knights of the Royal Guards could be said to be invincible when they rode on wyverns.

If Shien could tame a real dragon, it would be unimaginably useful to the Royal Capital.

For this reason alone, as long as it was not confirmed that Shien was harming the Royal Capital, the Kingdom would definitely not do anything to him.

Not to mention, Rosie had chosen to stand on Shien's side in this matter. The nobles led by the Lazahad Family also claimed that the actions of the Royal Knights were very suspicious. In the end, even Jacinta appeared in the meeting hall and expressed his support for Shien. How could the Royal Capital find trouble with Shien?

Hence, after a whole day of fermenting, a piece of news spread in the Royal Capital.

"Many nobles led by the Galuoli Family have secretly colluded with the Old Demons, intending to hold evil magic rituals in the Adol Canyon to harm the Royal Capital. Now, all the participants, including the mastermind Farpion Galuoli, have been sanctioned.

"From now on, the royal family will deprive the multiple nobles led by the Galuoli Family of their titles and demote them to commoners.

"The Royal Knights will be re-established in the next few days. The Commander, Deputy Commander, and the holders of various positions will be re-elected later.

"Moreover, the Adol Canyon will be completely sealed off by the Royal Capital from now on. It will not be reopened until the follow-up issues of the ritual are resolved.

"In this incident, the adventurer Shien has made great contributions and will be rewarded by the Royal Capital."

This piece of news exploded in the Royal Capital and once again spread through the streets and alleys.

Only then did the people know that so many things had happened.

Next, the Royal Capital would also encounter various problems.

For example, with the great loss of the Royal Knights, what actions would the neighboring countries take? They had to be fully monitored and responded.

Another example was that the Royal Capital had to re-establish the Royal Knights and select a noble family to lead the Royal Knights.

The follow-up issues of the Adol Canyon also had to be resolved.

All of these required the Royal Capital to formulate countermeasures and carry out decisions.

Then, no matter what, there was a person whose name was destined to spread through the streets and alleys along with these deeds.

That person's name was Shien.
