The Journey of the Demon Hunter

Then a new voice appeared in the crowd of onlookers.

"Kartan must be spreading the rumors, he wants to take the opportunity to disturb us."

"Yes, yes, I heard that the **** stole a hen from the lord's house in the past, how could this kind of scum say good things."

"Saqiya's servant said..."

As soon as Love was about to speak, he was interrupted by Sigat.

"May I ask where the servant is? If he has something to say, why hide like a thief? The answer is obvious, he is a liar!"

"Yes, that kid must be a liar." A farmer turned his head and shared information that only he knew to other people around him. "Although I have never seen that kid, I know from his appearance, he is definitely not a good person."

"That's right." The other person scratched his cheek. "How can a noble man like a prince do such a thing?"

"He hid because of you!" Kartan held out his **** to Sigat. "If he hadn't been protected by the Squirrel Party, he would have died!"

"What's the matter?" Zelin looked at Iofis on the side. "What's wrong with Willie?"

"This city has too many high platforms and tunnels. Someone attacked it with a bow and arrow from a distance." Eofes explained to Zelin. "If it hadn't been for one of my young men to see the reflection of the arrow, that young serf would have died."

"It was the prince who sent someone to murder the witness!" There was a shout from the crowd of onlookers. "The prince must come out and stand trial!"

"You landlords don't want to shelter criminals!"

"Then let me ask one last question." Sigart raised his hand and motioned for the crowd to be quiet. "You said, how does the prince poison Saqiya? Everyone knows that before the saint’s lips touch the wine, the servant will try it from the wine barrel! So there is only one truth, and the real suspects are you civilians. !"

"It must be Kartan who wants to poison the saint." The whispers in the crowd changed again. "There is no doubt that the saint was poisoned, so he jumped out to question the prince. Maybe it was his poison so that he could become a leader."

"Then tell me, who would do this kind of thing?! Common people will hurt the saint? Impossible! Because of her, your noble dogs will value us!" Kaltan walked forward angrily, standing in Sigat In front of him. "Pigs are not stupid enough to commit suicide, and civilians are not stupid enough to resist our savior!"

"But even if it wasn't made by a commoner, there is no proof that the prince did it, idiot!"

"Enough, you idiots!"

The door was opened, and Sdennis came out in armor.

"Your Majesty, this is very dangerous. I hope you can go back as soon as possible." Xigart persuaded worriedly. "These mobs don't know anything about etiquette, they have no education."

"I'm not afraid. Fear is the privilege of common people. It doesn't belong to people of royal blood like me." Sdennis looked arrogantly at the crowd gathered in the front courtyard. "What the **** are you going to do? Trial me? Will a prince steal eggs like ordinary thieves? The royal family standing in front of you, and you dare to disobey me?!"

No one spoke, no one refuted.

"In this world, some crimes can be forgiven, and some crimes can never be forgiven!" Sdennis paced back and forth, the anger between his brows seemed to burst into flames. "A mother who kills a baby or a person who cuts the throat of a brother cannot be forgiven. A rebellious son who murders his parents or a butcher who slaughters an unarmed person cannot be forgiven. Offending to rule this in the name of the gods People from a piece of land cannot be forgiven! Those who resist the power of the gods are not worthy to live in this world."

Only Kartan came to the prince.

"Where is the murderer who poisoned the saint of Aden?"

"First, Saqiya is still alive, and no one can convict me for her death. Second, none of you have evidence that I want to murder her. Third, I assure everyone present that I will never Will despise the law. We can convene a council of the wise elders, a court composed of the oldest, wise, educated, and fair-known people in this land to judge whether I am guilty."

After speaking, Sdennis took a step back, stretched out his hand and waved in front of him, waving away the smell of sweat from the farmer.

"This is the demeanor of the prince of a country!"

The nobles cheered.

"I am the one you should worship." Sdennis said to the crowd with his arms open. "Let my work illuminate your darkness like a flame!"

"Bald head, with his golden armor." Zoltan snorted. "It's really like an oil lamp."

"So you asked me to help you convince people that if you were innocent, forget it now?" Zelin asked suddenly. "But now it seems that you did a good job yourself."

"What?" A farmer noticed Zelin's words. "Who is the prince going to bribe to justify his crime?"

"You have no evidence or witnesses, Demon Hunter." Sdennis said coldly. "We are about to hold a meeting for the elderly."

"It's really interesting, prince," Zelin said. "You didn't declare whether you were guilty or innocent. You only said that justice is needed and a parliament must be convened. But who will participate in that parliament? Are there civilians? No, only people appointed by you. Those who make the right judgment can get it. The land is the lord of rewards? Let these people decide whether you are guilty or not? A pig knows the outcome of such a meeting."

"This **** just wants to exonerate himself!"

"Kill him! Let him pay his life for the saint!"

The originally calm crowd boiled again, and the knights raised their swords one after another, preparing to fight the mob that might rush over. The dwarven guards grabbed the axe nervously. They knew that once the riot started, it would be difficult to control its scale. It would swallow everyone like a beast.

"But the prince has the right to a fair trial. After Saqiya wakes up, she will naturally make a judgment on this matter. Don't doubt whether Saqiya can wake up, I, and the sorcerer Philippa, will be able to do it right away. Let Saqiya open his eyes again. All we need now is a trivial amount of time." Zelin's voice spread into everyone's ears, and he secretly gestured to the loudest people who called Axie. The runes of Fayin calmed them down. "Just as you can stand here and accuse the prince, the prince should also have the right to refute the allegations."

"Do these dog nobles have this kind of power? They don't!"

"This is exactly what we want to eliminate, Kartan." Following Zelin's words, Eofis and Cecil also walked to him and looked at the excited civilians. "If you condone lynching, what will be the consequences? Did everyone in the crowd think Sdennis was a criminal from the beginning? Didn't any of you think that Kaltan was the real culprit who poisoned Saqiya?"

Some of them lowered their heads, and some raised their heads higher, triumphantly.

"If we were lynching from the beginning, would anyone hear the rumors and allegations and run over to kill Sdennis? Then they heard other news the next day, and went to the workshop to kill Kaltan. Then on the third day, new rumors appeared, and people enthusiastically executed the executioner? Can everyone guarantee that what they heard and did it was correct? No, everything may not look like it seems on the surface. That way, and what we need is a man who can investigate and a person who can make a fair judgment."

Kartan scratched his mouth and closed it.

"Yes." Mayor Cecil was finally able to speak again. "Before accepting the verdict, we will take Sdennis into the dungeon of Frogen, and will be guarded by the best dwarf guards. Neither aristocrats nor civilians will be able to approach him until the saint wakes up, and she will find out based on our investigation. The evidence to make a judgment."

This time, neither the nobles nor the commoners raised any objections. Sdennis looked at the nobles behind him. Some of them were fortunate to avoid a riot, and some avoided the prince's sight. Several knights are agreeing with Mayor Cecil's words, Cecil is the archon here, no matter his origin or identity, they have no reason to refute.

Two dwarf guards came up, pushing Sdennis out of the castle and towards the dungeon. The crowd crowded like ants automatically separated from the middle to make way. As he passed by the demon hunter, the prince glared at Zelin, but then he was pushed hard by the guards.

Zelin sighed.

In any case, this is acceptable to nobles and commoners.

At least, he doesn't need to worry that there will be a riot to completely destroy Fujian.

Chapter 1842: The Arrival of the Messenger

As Zelin had expected, that night, someone brought the mountain rat koji grass with a commission. In the middle of the night, Zelin was lying on the bed to rest while thinking about the next move when the dwarf came over. Knocked on his door.

"Master?!" The door creaked. "Master, are you there?"

Zelin sat up, looked at the door, and rubbed his eyes. For an instant, he filtered all the possibilities he could think of in his mind. It is unlikely that someone caused a riot. The prince was in jail, but he has not yet been tried. There is no reason for nobles or civilians to continue to cause a riot. Cecil's dwarf guards entered a state of martial law this afternoon, to prevent similar incidents from happening again. Moreover, if there is a riot, the noise outside will definitely be heard here instead of being as quiet as it is now.

"I'm here, come in."

The door was pushed open, and a guard stood outside.

"What's the matter?" Zelin rubbed his eyes, picked up the kettle on the bedside table, and poured himself a glass of water. "Who sent you here?"

"I am the guard at the gate of the city, master." The guard saluted Zelin. "A traveler came at the door. She said that she knew you and was here to give you something. It was too dark. It stands to reason that we could not open the city gate, but since she said it was related to the master, we were worried whether it would be very important. So I ran over to inform you."

After a few seconds, Zelin nodded. "Ah, that's right, someone is indeed going to send me something, a very important thing, related to saving the saint. Is she here yet?"

"Yes, she was waiting in the guard room at the gate of the city."
