Chapter 175 Besieged in front of the palace

The door of the palace slowly opened, and Fred and Safi stepped out from the door.

Seeing the appearance of the crown prince, the civilians were even more excited. Everyone wanted to rush forward. The knights who were maintaining order at the door felt a lot of pressure. They spent all their strength to barely block the excited civilians and let them

Stay at least three meters away from Fred.

"Everyone, calm down," Fred's voice rang out, using wind magic to spread the sound far away. He stood there and naturally attracted everyone's attention. The invisible pressure overflowed from him, making everyone

People obey involuntarily, "Please calm down and listen to me."

The crowd was no longer restless, and all eyes were focused on Fred.

Fred glanced at Safi first and nodded to her. Safi understood and recited a spell, and an ice platform slowly rose under Fred's feet, supporting him as he continued to rise.

"I know you have many questions in your mind, but what I can answer at the moment is that there is no rebellion in the south and everything is calm."

The words coming from Fred's mouth were naturally quite convincing. Just when everyone was patting their chests and lamenting that it was a false alarm, a shrill and earth-shattering scream suddenly sounded: "Lie!"

Suddenly everyone's eyes turned towards that point, as if the tide was ebbing, it retreated away from that person, leaving that person to form an isolated island.

Fred's eyes glanced over casually: "Bring the person here."

A knight caught the man over. Fred looked at the man and saw that he was a slovenly, middle-aged man. The clothes on his body had not been washed for who knows how many days and were stained with obvious stains.

, a large beard was messy and looked like it hadn't been groomed for several days.

Not knowing what this person was going to do, Fred narrowed his eyes and prepared to wait and see.

"What's your name? What's the basis for you to say I lied?" Fred's attitude was very gentle, and he even asked the knight to let him go and let him move freely.

Of course, all this is based on the premise that if he makes any changes, the knight standing next to him and Safi not far away can kill him immediately.

The man rubbed his wrist and snorted coldly: "My name is Crow, and I'm here to ask you noble gentlemen for an explanation."

"What's the meaning?"

Crowe wiped his mouth roughly: "I was just a small trader. My only good friend is Oke. Oke is a passenger transporter. His most frequent trade routes are the Royal City and the south.

He fled back from the south in embarrassment, with wounds all over his body, and told me that there was a rebellion in the south and they were about to attack the royal city, so he told me to leave quickly."

He sniffed loudly and seemed to be very sad: "I believe His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, but we have waited for two days and haven't seen any movement from the royal family. Not even a single soldier has been dispatched. Oak wanted to send a warning in the morning.

But he was killed by the nobles. I just want to ask you nobles, what is your intention in dragging everyone to die together?"

By the end of the sentence, he was already choking. The tears of a middle-aged man were heartbreaking to watch, and some people even began to sob slightly.

If Felicia were here, she would probably sigh that "I am weak but I am justified" is an eternal truth.

Common people have a natural disadvantage to nobles. In addition, most of the people present are common people, so they are more likely to empathize with similar people.

Fred's authority was broken by Crowe's few words, and the crowd rioted. The civilians subconsciously stayed away from Fred, for fear of being affected by his anger.

Was he originally waiting for him here?

Oak is dead, and the person who did it has not yet been found. They can't produce any evidence to say that it was not done by the nobles. Even if everything is only Crow's one-sided story, they have no strong evidence to refute him.

Fred dared to appear in front of the public like this, and of course he was not unprepared, but it would still take some time.

"What evidence do you have that what you say is true?" Fred asked.

Crowe laughed desolately as if he had heard a joke: "Evidence, people have been killed by you, come and tell me the evidence, I have no evidence, just kill me too!"

What a great acting skill. If Fred wasn't 100% sure that his information was correct, even he couldn't help but wonder if a noble had done something behind his back.

Crow had bitten the Oak to death, and put the blame on the noble, clamoring for an explanation.

The matter was not done by the nobles at all, and there is no way to explain it. From the perspective of those who do not know the truth, the royal family has a guilty conscience.

Faced with such entanglement, Fred could only stall for time with his nonsense.

Until he saw Felissa appearing from a distance, Safi deftly used the blind spot in her sight to retreat and faced Felissa: "Did you get the things?"

Felissa gasped and nodded, and she saw that she was running over: "Well, I told you right. I went to the orphanage and got the information."

This was expected by Safi. It was absolutely not wrong for Old Rhodes to check things that Ulysses could not find. After all, Ulysses' hands had not yet reached out to the people on the abandoned avenue. Old

Rhodes has survived on the abandoned avenue for decades, so it is absolutely right to ask him to investigate people.

After getting what Old Rod gave her, Safi quickly glanced at it.

Hey, a thief on an abandoned road who sells stolen goods can also be called a small trader.

Safi turned around and returned to the scene, flew directly onto the ice platform, and stood side by side with Fred.

"Crow?" Safi asked with a sneer, "You are the famous stolen goods dealer on the abandoned avenue, right?"

As soon as the words "Abandoned Avenue" came out, those who originally sympathized with this man instantly fell silent.

After all, it was a place that had been declared to be in collusion with the demons. In the eyes of civilians, the people on the abandoned road were demons.

For a moment, the development of the whole situation was incomprehensible, and the smart ones closed their mouths and watched quietly.

"If I'm not wrong, you know magic, right?" Safi's cold eyes fell on Crowe, "Didn't you kill Oak and then want to take the opportunity to blame the royal family?"

Crowe's face changed instantly, and then he looked indignant: "What do you mean, because I was once a person on the abandoned road, I don't even have a chance to start over? You clearly promised not to let the past go by the way!"

"

"That's right!" Safi said coldly, "But I also said that if you commit another crime again, you will have to settle old and new accounts together. Are you ready to be settled?"

"I don't accept it!" Crowe roared, "You are using your power to oppress others, and I don't accept it!"

He kept saying he was dissatisfied, but avoided all questions about magic. Perhaps this was the subconscious avoidance of a weak-minded person.
