It's not the protagonist, what does it matter if you are trapped in the Shura field
Chapter 445 A Routine Day
Chapter 445 A Routine Day
Five days later, midsummer highlands.
At daybreak, the encampment at the foot of the manor hillside was peaceful, and the morning light illuminated the figures of the knights coming and going.
After the materials for building the camp were replenished, the knights no longer had to endure the dew on the grass every morning, and they planned the training ground given to them by the five princesses in an orderly manner.
This made the knights look very energetic.
Unlike the Royal City Knights, the Royal Knights' duty from the beginning was to serve as the initial armed force of the royal family. Most of them were descendants of branches of major families who did not have the right of inheritance. They had received a good education and combat training. When they took the oath, they understood the importance of their responsibilities and were prepared to travel far away with their lord even if he married far away. Therefore, when Lovely was expelled from the capital last time, they were given a chance to leave voluntarily, but very few of them defected.
In fact, the situation is much better than the Cavaliers expected.
What could be more hopeless than choosing to follow a princess who was expelled from the circle of power for the rest of her life? Along the way, they witnessed the beast tide that flooded the plains, dealt with the main god of the orcs face to face, witnessed the destructive power of the goddess of machinery, and even boarded the spectacular floating city, fought side by side with Senkamanda's monster army and the dragon clan, and were shocked and speechless before the punishment brought down by the present god.
Although they had suffered the humiliation of having their battleship controlled by the Cult of the Mechanical God, their experiences along the way were simply incomparable to those Knights of the Royal City who thought highly of themselves after winning a few battles.
So they have no reason not to be proud.
Especially the news I heard in the past few days, with the help of Luo Wei, Her Highness Luo Fuli's recent momentum can be said to be unstoppable.
In the manor.
Sparks of swords collided in the open space in front of the main house. The white-haired girl calmly gripped the hilt of the sword, giving the black-haired swordsman opposite a moment to catch his breath.
The ground around the two people was covered with crisscrossing gullies several meters deep, and there was almost no complete flat ground to stand on.
"Thanks for your hard work."
Felicia, who rarely watched the whole process, jumped down from the edge of the venue and seemed to have climbed over several trenches along the way. On the other side, Ayining handed the towel in her hand to the two of them one after another.
"Do you do such intense sparring early in the morning every day?" Felicia asked.
"I'm used to it." Luo Wei panted and put the sword back into the scabbard. He wiped his face and hair with a towel with one hand. "I want to let him win. Do you think he agrees?"
On the opposite side, Ananing, who had been fighting until now without any disorder in her breath, looked up at the sky with a calm face.
"I've been wanting to ask you since a while ago, what are those things floating in the sky?"
Several people raised their eyes at the same time. Since early in the morning, Felicia had arranged for people to place these dark spheres above the manor.
Saya spread her wings with an unhappy look on her face and placed them one by one in the designated positions.
Ayining seemed somewhat familiar with that thing.
It looked like the round magical devices she and Rowe had found in the sewers of No Crown City.
"That's why I came here," Felicia said as she stood beside Rowe. "I made some prototypes based on the original magic beacons you found underground in the Crownless City."
Luo Wei looked at it and nodded, "You mean the ones that the craftsmen would bury?"
Under the Crownless City, he and Ryan led people to eliminate thousands of such things. Their original intention was to pour the power of the Goddess of Mechanics to make cannons from under the Crownless City. This was how the Crownless City was destroyed in the last round, but their plan was disrupted, and this time the Craftsmen's Guild did not adopt this plan in the end.
"You're not planning to raze the manor to the ground with a single blow?" Luo Wei looked at her with trembling lips.
"Of course not. These things are just media and have no power themselves," Felicia said. "Also, the prototype has too many functions. I only took some of the functions I needed."
“What can they do?”
"You'll know when you see it."
Felicia snapped her fingers, and the spheres that were originally in the air suddenly entered a hidden state and disappeared one by one. Saya, who was on the outside, flew in the air, looking down with a dumbfounded look on her face.
"What did she see?" Luo Wei asked with a frown.
"What she saw was an empty manor," Felica explained, "which means that when these beacons were activated, it seemed that all of us had 'disappeared' from the outside world's sight."
"I see."
Luo Wei quickly understood what Felicia meant. It would be easy to understand if those spheres were regarded as barrier generators. They were connected to each other, and the power generated covered the manor like a protective shield, preventing people outside from seeing what was happening inside and thinking that there was no one in the manor.
"I'm surprised you understand so quickly," Felicia commented.
"..."
Isn't this optical camouflage?
"In addition, this barrier also has protective capabilities and can isolate sound from the inside out. No matter how loud a noise you make in the mansion, the outside world won't be able to hear it. At the same time, anything that breaks in will be warned by Femi."
"Thank you," Luo Wei nodded, "It's a great help."
In this way, the manor has an iron wall of defense, and there is no need to worry about someone sneaking in in the middle of the night or eavesdropping on the manor's information through remote means.
Even if he pinned someone down on the grass in the open air and did it to them, no one outside would know about it, um...
She probably didn't develop it just to make it easier for him to do this.
Saya flapped her wings and flew back and forth between the two sides of the barrier, looking confused. Why could she see when she came in but not when she went out?
"This shouldn't rely on Femi's maintenance, right?" Luo Wei suddenly asked with trembling lips.
"really."
The two of them looked in the same direction at the same time. In the center of the main house, Vimir was facing a huge magic stake and continuously infusing magic power into it.
Vimeer: Generating electricity...zzzzzz...
Luo Wei: "..."
It really gave her something to do, such as electrical palu.
Felicia also looked speechless. In fact, the converter between magic power and magic conduction had no practical value at all. After her repeated improvements, the conversion rate barely reached 1%. It was a pity that she could find such a thing in the manor that did not need to consider the loss of magic power at all.
"That's all," Felicia nodded at the experimental results. "I'll arrange for someone to bury the underground ones later. It just so happens that your training has damaged the ground like this. As for the knights' bases and farms outside the main house, I won't consider them for now. I need to concentrate on my research recently. Don't disturb me if you don't have anything else."
"Ah."
Luo Wei glanced to one side and saw that the chimney of Clothes' newly built workshop next to the main house was continuously spewing black smoke - it was obviously her work that was being blasted at a high frequency.
Because she was taken to Hannah's place once, the little wild cat has been pestering her every day to take her to continue looking for the other party.
"In fact, you and Hannah don't even know each other."
Felicia paused for a moment before walking down the gully.
"But thanks."
She left without saying anything else.
Luo Wei stood there with a pout, then looked in the direction of the main house. It was time for him to take a cold shower and then play those crime-solving games with those nobles.
...Mellendell, Court of Lords.
When Luo Wei walked in as if doing nothing but a routine matter, the atmosphere in the audience had become completely different from the first time.
Accusations against the five princesses appeared every day, and he sent out investigation teams on the spot to bring back the real culprit. This happened every day, and it had reached the point where viewing seats in the courtroom had to be booked in advance and could only be transferred from other nobles at a high price.
Therefore, the entire Holy Stone Hall was packed with people, all of them came to see how the fifth princess solved the case on the spot.
The "Sword Saint of the Dawn" Viscount Ulysses Beckpanga was among them.
The ladies were fanning themselves with their small fans while laughing and talking about Rowe Brooke's appearance. The entire courtroom had become a hot media arena for hearing first-hand news about the capital, attracting many people who were originally not interested in it. It had become a popular trend in the capital.
Saya, who was waiting on the field, glared at the ladies fiercely.
You are not allowed to set your sights on him!!
Luo Wei: "..."
Although it was expected that things would get to this point, he couldn't help but complain as he looked at the Lion Garden Sword Master sitting there motionless.
Calling you Viscount Ulysses instead of Viscount Beckpanga is giving you face. As a sword master, please don't sit there and take it for granted!
There's not much to say about the trial process. It's not like the prisoners thickened three layers of walls overnight only to have them kicked open by Saya, or destroyed the evidence secretly only to have it discovered by Nunnuni's people. As more and more names were crossed out in the book, this kind of thing would become easier and easier to do, and gradually become procedural.
However, the nobles were still as excited as on the first day.
Maybe it’s because these weird things happen around them, so they feel particularly involved.
"Stimulate!"
"There really is someone whose wife is her uncle's illegitimate daughter..."
"No, I have to ask my wife when I get back..."
What kind of conspiracy is hidden behind the royal city? Is the person sleeping beside you at the ball really someone you know? Why did the 90-year-old woman come back to life? Why did screams frequently come from the stable in the middle of the night? Is this a distortion of human nature or a loss of morality?
The situation can be replicated, but the topic never goes out of date.
"Do you know who is behind me? How dare you arrest me? Do you know what the consequences of this will be?!"
He was dragged away in an ugly state of impotence and rage, and the nobles all looked at him with sighs and comments. Seeing people of similar status to oneself in trouble is sometimes a source of self-satisfaction, and it is also worth reflecting on and remembering the lessons. Even if one's life is not going as planned, so what? These people's fate is much worse than theirs.
Isn't that how the stress of life disappears?
What's more, rumors heard from others are far less impressive than the shock of the truth revealed with one's own eyes.
The five princesses were indeed changing some things in the capital. They thought that no monarch had ever given them such an opportunity to reflect and think calmly.
And when the accusers actively changed their strategies, the situation began to develop towards another extreme - under the pressure of the great nobles behind them, some people began to accuse themselves of incidents that they did not commit, but they knew that other nobles were involved.
Yes, that’s right, they themselves have not done anything, they are completely innocent.
But when the nobles in the gallery were taken away by the judge, the whole thing began to get out of control. This opened a Pandemic that should never have been opened, and the atmosphere of suspicion spread directly from the trial platform to the entire venue, including the gallery.
The accusing nobles began to be suspicious of each other and no longer trusted each other, so they decided to strike first - once this thought came to mind, the trial's gallows could no longer be stopped.
But the nobles who were truly unrelated felt it was even more exciting.
Shocked! The real murderer is right next to me?!
This is almost the ladies' favorite plot, and who can remember that the initiators of the accusations, who are now showing signs of falling apart, initially held an absolute advantage here.
The fifth princess won.
No matter how hard those nobles who had no evidence tried to defend themselves, the princess' agent named Luo Wei had solved more major cases in the past few days than many excellent judges had solved in their entire lives. It would not be an exaggeration for the old chief judge to make him an honorary judge.
As today's trial was about to end, someone suddenly stood up from the prosecution seat and asked an extremely pointed question:
"What do you think of the Second Prince trying to win over the nobles of the Western Territory and seize the military power of the entire Western Territory?"
The scene fell silent for a moment.
Scarlett, the second prince's aide, had been present alone on the first day of the siege.
But since then, neither she nor the second prince came again.
Luo Wei turned around without hesitation and looked at the noble who had falsely accused him of having poor conduct today.
"I am only the Fifth Princess's agent, speaking on behalf of the busy Fifth Prince. All the clues related to the trial were given to me by the wise and powerful Princess after prior investigation. However, I am sorry that I cannot answer any questions about the relevant contents that were not disclosed to me."
After saying some polite words, Luo Wei walked straight to the exit of the courtroom without looking back, punched in, and left work.
And at this time in the manor.
While accompanying Irus and confirming how to plan the territory for the knight's family, Lovely suddenly sneezed several times in succession for no reason.
"What's wrong?" Irus looked at her with a faint smile.
"Nothing." Lovely frowned and searched for her handkerchief. "Isn't it trial time now? Is that guy saying bad things about me in the court?"
The witch chuckled softly, "Really? I think maybe it's the other way around."
Lovelli didn't take it seriously.
What else can that guy say to praise her? That's really rare. Right now, she should focus on the things she needs to deal with. Now that she has returned to the palace to see her father, the queen, and the queen mother, she will never mistreat her knights who have followed her away from home for a long time. Although she has arranged a visit for relatives in the royal city, if possible, she wants to set aside an area in the manor to build a separate town, specifically for the families of the knights who are willing to accompany them to live. Anyway, the area of the manor is large enough, there is nothing to worry about...
Lovely suddenly raised her head halfway through her thought.
She gradually began to realize that something was wrong and glanced at Irus warily.
"You don't mean to say that the guy defeated those nobles in the Inquisition and gave all the credit to me, right?"
Irus's smiling eyes revealed the answer.
Do you think the Lord of Wuguan City is someone who is willing to get into all these troubles?
Lovely: “……!!”
And to the west of the Lion Garden, in the Crownless City, which was reestablished as an independent city, in the Executive Office on North Artisan Street.
After reading the letter asking him to accept the squire's family, Marcus threw it on the table with a self-deprecating look and sneered.
"People throw everything here at my place. Do you think this is a trash can?"
"What about us?" asked the craftswoman Bena.
Marcus put his boots off the table with a curse.
"Find them a bigger place. Do you think that guy only did this once?"
Bena: “…”
