Xiuxian became the king of witches

The excited and high-pitched voice seemed to be teaching Chebman, and it also seemed to be soothing the last remaining guilt in his heart.

"It is true that I sent someone to set the fire, but it had to be set! Horta's bastards who oppose the truth have already caught our feet, and this is the only way to turn defeat into victory!"

Hearing that his father actually confessed to that heavy crime, Chebman's terrified eyes shone with unbelievable light.

"The truth will understand me. Many times...sacrifice is the step forward!"

The Duke of Muttburg slowly closed his eyes. In his eyes, those civilian believers who died in vain were pawns that could be sacrificed at will, but why not himself and his family in the eyes of those big shots?

If I pity the common people, who will pity me again!

Chebman stared blankly at his father, who seemed to be going mad, but for some reason, the beautiful but terrifying figure of Higrit catching his full-strength sword with two fingers at the Knights Club that day suddenly appeared in his mind. .

"father……"

An ominous premonition suddenly enveloped his heart, and Chebman squirmed his lips subconsciously to remind his father to be careful of that witch, but he swallowed the words after all.

Being completely frightened by a woman is something that I am ashamed to say, but the result of speaking is nothing more than a burst of severe abuse from my father.

Maybe it's just overthinking...

And just when Chebman was completely lost in the boundary between justice and evil, the terrifying shadow that enveloped his heart was sitting lazily in the reception room of the city hall at this moment, accepting inquiries.

"Miss Herman, I hope you can be more frank and cooperate with the city hall to investigate, otherwise you reserve the possibility of taking further coercive measures!"

The stern threats were ignored by those shining starry eyes. Higrit still just looked through the books in her hands and sipped the black tea on the table from time to time, making outsiders feel that the witch is the real owner of this living room. .

"Please listen to me carefully! If you continue to adopt this attitude, then don't blame us for disregarding the Herman family's favor!"

The city hall official who was in charge of the inquiry had originally maintained a rather gentlemanly attitude towards the beautiful girl in front of him, but the other party's indifference had already exhausted his patience.

The witch finally raised her head slowly while scolding dryly, but there was a rather puzzled look in her star pupils.

"Are you talking to me?"

Those innocent but provocative words completely ignited the suppressed anger of the official. He stood up and knocked on the table with all his strength, almost spilling the black tea in the witch's cup.

"Don't think that the name of the Herman family can scare me! According to my understanding, the Herman family has already severed ties with you! No one can protect you now! Now—"

boom--

However, before he finished roaring his anger, the body in formal leather shoes flew out like a cannonball, and was firmly embedded in the wall of the living room in an instant.

The swaying limbs match the mottled cracks, but it adds a distorted color of post-impressionism to the huge rococo-style wax mural.

"When I'm reading, please be quiet."

The witch opened the old book in her arms again, as if nothing had happened.However, he was also thinking about what the Stuart family was planning by deliberately arranging an ordinary official who didn't know his details to ask him.

dong dong——

Before reading two pages of the witch's book, the intrusion of noisy footsteps from the corridor outside the house broke the silence of the room again.

"Miss Hermann! What are you doing!"

Chapter 49 The Farce of the City Hall

In the blink of an eye, the crowd in the corridor poured into the living room.The dark lights and shadows joined together, pointing all hostile spearheads at the graceful figure in front of the wooden table.

"What am I doing, do I need to explain to you?"

It's just that this oppressive arrogance was easily shaken by Higrit's cold eyes.Feeling the faint chill spreading around the girl, everyone crowded into a semicircle for a while but no one dared to take half a step forward.

"Just taking a picture of a noisy bug is worth so many people's efforts. I'm really flattered."

Most of the group of people in front of them are the staff of the city hall, and there are also a few demonstration leaders who came to negotiate.The few people standing behind noticed the cracks spreading on the wall, and hurriedly opened the wall to rescue the official who was embedded in the stone bricks.

"You... dare to commit murder in the city hall! Blatantly attack the official officials of the kingdom!"

Glancing at the rampant man who was threatening and intimidating just now, he has completely fallen into a coma while bleeding profusely.

For this miserable appearance, Higrit could only return him with a leisurely smile.

"This is just a small punishment. Send him to treatment now, and his life will not be in danger. But if you want to delay deliberately and then charge me with murder, that's a different matter."

And this light smile made the menacing crowd stupefied for a moment.After a while, most people's rationality struggled out of their bewildered minds, and they realized how sarcastic the witch's sharp words were just now.

They looked around at the dying official on the ground, looking at each other for a while, feeling a little at a loss.After exchanging glances for a while, the leader still ordered his subordinates to send the seriously injured official out, and turned to look at the witch again with more fear in his eyes.

Before the implementation of the plan, the core members have been told countless times, "Try to avoid looking directly at that woman's face", "Try to imagine her as the scariest appearance in my heart" and other inexplicable words.Some people even suggested using magic to temporarily change the vision to avoid the influence of the witch's charm.

And when they really faced Higrit, they realized that those warnings were not mixed with the slightest exaggeration. Every frown and smile of this woman seemed to be accompanied by natural magic power. As long as they were not paying attention, they would get lost in the beauty soul.

And they also know that there is actually an unfathomable heart hidden under the peerless appearance. The existence of such a witch in the world may be the test of truth for pious belief.

"Miss Herman, we invited you here today because we sincerely want to understand the situation of the arrest operation in Bittle Lane with you that day, and resolve any possible misunderstandings between us!"

The deputy chief executive headed by the city hall took a deep breath, and first suppressed the noisy and indignant discussions behind him.Then he strode up to Higrit. After saluting respectfully, his raised face was full of grief.

"I heard that Miss Herman was once framed by some radical believers because of her identity as a witch. I deeply regret this. But His Majesty the King has made a fair ruling on that matter, and you should not continue now. Treat Truth believers with prejudice."

The deputy manager's earnest expression seemed sincere, but what he said directly confirmed the charge of the witch's personal revenge.

"These behind me are all well-known pastors in various regions. Our city hall invited you here today because we want to ask questions and at the same time eliminate everyone's prejudices and resolve the current conflict peacefully. "

In the middle of the dense black formal uniforms of the city hall, several white priest's robes with blue borders stand out.

The Ota law expressly prohibits the Church of Truth from setting up bishops in the country, so these old priests in front of us are the most senior clergymen of the Church of Truth in Otamin.

"But your uncooperative attitude makes it difficult for us to continue our work. If the next peace negotiations are delayed and the peaceful relationship between Orta and the Empire of Truth is affected for many years, I can't afford such a responsibility."

Speaking of which, the deputy manager's superficial attitude still looked extremely respectful, but the staring eyes seemed to be directly questioning the witch.

Can you afford it?

"Since you know you can't afford it, how dare you stand in front of me?"

However, the witch's indifferent answer was overbearing beyond expectations, directly blocking all the words the deputy manager had prepared in advance, and he could only stare blankly at the beautiful but trembling face of the witch for a while.

"When your city hall came to invite me, you told me that the Duke of Stuart wanted to see me, so I reluctantly agreed to give Andre a face."

For this kind of meaningless inquiry, no one would dare to force her even if she directly refused in her current capacity as a witch.And in order to test the idea of ​​the Red Dragon Duke, Higrit agreed to the inquiry request of the city hall.

But after the other party brought her, they only arranged a few low-level officials who didn't know the inside story to threaten and intimidate him.This made the witch have to suspect that the Stuart family's anticlimactic behavior was just to disgust herself.

"Otherwise, just because you are also qualified to see me?"

Shaking the pages of the book between her fingers, the witch's calm and calm expression became the most contemptuous mockery in the eyes of everyone at this moment, and the people who were only a little quiet became angry in an instant.

"Also, please keep quiet while I read."

The shining star pupils suddenly flowed, and the vast immortal power contained in the sea of ​​consciousness was gradually awakened.The unknowable force descending from another world instantly crushed everyone's hearts, causing all the surging anger to return directly to the silence of nothingness.

"you……"

The angry reprimand was forced to stop on the tip of his tongue, and there was a breath of embarrassment in the silence.

Here, only the deputy chief with a slightly higher level of magic power and the priests and noble representatives behind him still have the strength to resist, and the rest of them can only freeze in place and cannot move.

Seeing that his side fell into a passive situation, just when the trembling manager was about to bite the bullet and continue to speak, the long-awaited voice finally came from outside the door.

"Then, are you qualified, Miss Herman?"

The deep momentum resisted the solid coercion in the room, allowing the tense atmosphere in the room to temporarily find a chance to breathe.

The tall body walked slowly towards Higrit amidst the concessions of others. Feeling the powerful magic power that was gradually approaching, the witch finally took her eyes off the book in her hand.

"So it was you who wanted to see me, Mr. Nelson."

In fact, the mind's eye had already detected the traces of the Duke's eldest son. He hid outside the house in order to enter the battlefield at a critical moment.He scrutinized the witch up and down with a frown, and the hostility exuded was much purer than that of other people in the room.

"It was my subordinates who were rude. I apologize for their offensive behavior. But you shouldn't directly hit people and seriously injure them. This is despising the authority of the city hall, Miss Herman."

Dawn City Hall is set up in Whitehall, one of the landmark buildings in the inner city. Except for the military defense in the city, which is in charge of the Sun Knights, the other big and small things are basically planned and arranged by the city hall.And to challenge its majesty, it can be said that it is challenging the entire management system of Dawn City.

"Oh, so how do you think this should be handled?"

The witch looked up at Nelson's serious face. As the eldest brother, although he was nearly 20 years older than Aisha, he could still find some similarities in his handsomeness.

It's just that the arrogance hidden in the subtle expression on that face made the witch frowned, not at all as cute as his sister.

"Since both parties have made mistakes, I don't ask Miss Herman to make additional compensation, as long as you can apologize to each other later, that's enough."

The simple request aroused Higrit's smile again, but it was hard for people to indulge in the icy chill.

"It's really a good suggestion, so you borrowed the name of your parents and went to great lengths to trick me out, just to perform a comedy?"

Nelson's eyes sank slightly, he didn't expect that the witch would still be merciless in the face of his blunt irony.

"I don't understand what Miss Herman means, can I think you are refusing to have a joint conversation with us?"

The magic power ignited on Nelson seemed to be declaring his majesty. The level of magic power at level 29 was only half a step away from the high position, but unfortunately, this close distance had blocked him for three years.

"Since you don't understand, call your father. I don't know when you have inherited the title of Duke of Stuart, Nelson."

Nelson's cliched and lame performance completely exhausted Higrit's interest in continuing to watch the farce. She picked up the book in her hand and slowly stood up.

"If that's the case, then I'll take my leave first."

Just as the witch was about to leave the seat, Nelson turned sideways and directly blocked Higrit's path, with red shining lines showing on the outstretched strong arm.

"Miss Herman, don't you plan to give an explanation before leaving?"

The scale of the red dragon, this is the natural ability inherited from the blood of the Stuart family.During the awakening period, the owner's physical fitness and defense can be greatly improved. For a warrior, this is enough to increase his combat effectiveness by several magic levels.

"Do you still want to fight with me?"

Faced with such a threat of force, Higrit probably smiled brighter.

"If it's not a last resort, I don't want to take rough measures against a beautiful lady like you, but I must seek justice for those citizens who died in the fire!"

The awe-inspiring statement immediately attracted everyone in the room to applaud. In their eyes, Higrit, as a representative of the domestic opposition to Shinrikyo, was naturally a major suspect in the fire.

"Unfortunately you are not worthy either, Nelson."

boom--

Hearing this insinuating attack, the light overflowing in the witch's star eyes became brighter and brighter, and the two slender fingers of her right hand stretched out and lightly tapped on the body covered with dragon scales, and Nelson's body was also touched in the next moment. It flew out like a cannonball.

"Do you really think I dare not embed you into the wall? You haven't reached a high position yet, and you don't even have the qualifications to fight with me."

The witch rubbed her fingertips, relieving the slight pain in the phalanx from the aftershocks.Looking at the red light and shadow slowly coming out of the smoke and dust, this simple attack seemed to fail to cause effective damage to Nelson, who was protected by dragon scales.

"Even if I am not your opponent! But are you planning to attack everyone here! Are you planning to challenge the Stuart family! Or are you planning to destroy the entire Whitehall! Guards!"

The furious scolding reverberated in the room, and everyone around them recovered from their stunned stupefaction. They never imagined that the witch would directly attack Nelson. The conflict had escalated to such an extent that they dared not speak casually. They were afraid that they would It was accidentally embedded in the wall.

But at this moment, the witch didn't care about the embarrassed Nelson in front of her. Her mind suddenly detected familiar footsteps outside the house, which made her understand many problems instantly.

boom--

The brilliant gold rushing in from the door instantly found the haughty and lonely darkness in the room, and quickly approached without the slightest hesitation.

"I'm late, Miss Higrit! Are you all right!"

Turning a blind eye to the tense atmosphere around her, Janna held Higrit's hands directly, her two emerald eyes filled with worry.

"What can happen to me, you should worry about them."

After struggling to withdraw her right hand, Higrit smiled and rubbed the girl's head. When Jana appeared in the city hall, she already understood Nelson's insidious intentions.

"His Royal Highness Rhine!"

When everyone saw the face of the visitor, they hurriedly restrained their aggressive expressions, and saluted Janna respectfully. The guards called by Nelson were also blocked by the guards of Her Royal Highness the Princess.

"Your Highness, did you come here in such a hurry to deal with this presumptuous witch?"

After the dusty Nelson bowed in the same standard, Janna raised her eyebrows at the words she said.Nowadays, almost no one in the nobles of Dawn City knows about her intimate relationship with Higrit, such words can be said to be a naked provocation.

"Mr. Nelson, I heard that your city hall only asked Miss Higrit for some simple inquiries, so please tell me that this is what an inquiry should be like!"

Janna's stern gaze slowly swept over the people around her, as if she wanted to remember all these faces in her mind, and the participants who were just pretending to be there were naturally panicked.

"That's because Ms. Herman refused to cooperate with our inquiry, and directly injured our staff."

Nelson quickly hid the look of rage just now, and he really looked like a victim of this incident in his disheveled face.

"Then I will check the inquiry records now to see what questions you are all asking."

Seeing Janna guarding the witch behind her and showing hostility towards him, Nelson suddenly had a strange smile on the corner of his staid mouth, and he said unhurriedly:

"Since Your Highness said so, it must be that I misunderstood Miss Herman. Here I apologize to myself and my subordinates for the offense, and I will take them out of here."

Such an easy concession made Janna, who was about to refute, slightly taken aback, trying to find out the hidden conspiracy in that sincere expression, but Nelson actually led everyone slowly out of the living room.

"Their target is actually you."
