Vimana rose all the way up and flew in the blue sky. Fang Zheng sat on the chair, looking at the scenery in front of him without saying a word. Ram and Rem stood quietly on both sides of Fang Zheng. Although they tried hard to appear calm, they could not calm down. After all, they were going to the capital of a kingdom and they were going to meet the actual ruler of that kingdom. This was really too exciting for the two girls who had just lived in the village.

"Don't worry."

Looking at the two people's slightly stiff expressions, Fang Zheng smiled slightly.

"Nothing will go wrong."

"But, Master Fang Zheng, things are not that simple..."

Ram looked at Fang Zheng with some uneasiness. She was not stupid. After knowing the identity of the person killed by Fang Zheng, Ram was also very worried.

"This is not something you need to worry about, but something the other party needs to worry about."

Having said this, Fang Zheng snorted.

"I want to see how these people are going to explain how their nobles got mixed up with the cultists!"

“…”

After hearing Fang Zheng's answer, Ram and Rem looked at each other in surprise. They were obviously going to be interrogated, but why did Fang Zheng look like he was the one going to interrogate the criminal?

Vimana's speed was naturally not slow. Not long after, the three of them arrived at the royal city of Lugnica. Then Fang Zheng tapped the handrail lightly a few times, and soon the golden flying boat circled in the air and then landed directly at the gate of the Lugnica Palace. At this time, the guards who discovered the golden flying boat also hurried forward, raised their weapons and surrounded the flying boat.

"Who are you? Why are you trespassing into the palace?"

The leading captain of the guards tightly grasped the long sword at his waist, looking at the golden flying boat in front of him with doubt and amazement - it was the first time he saw such a thing that could fly freely in the sky, and he had no idea what to do.

"The Sages have invited us here. Go and inform them."

Fang Zheng casually threw the letter over, and the captain of the guards took the letter and immediately opened it and took a few glances at it, then quickly restrained his expression.

"Just a moment please."

As he spoke, the captain of the guards quickly ran into the palace. Only the soldiers nearby were still surrounding Vimana, but they were just pretending - after all, this was a flying boat, and as long as Fang Zheng flew a little higher, these soldiers would be able to do nothing but stare.

"Huh...this is so boring."

Fang Zheng leaned back in his seat, yawned lazily, and then snapped his fingers.

"Ram, come and have some tea."

"Okay, Master Fangzheng."

As he spoke, Ram picked up the tea tray that appeared out of thin air in front of him and skillfully brewed tea. Then the three of them each had a cup and drank tea while being surrounded by heavy troops.

Seeing this, the soldiers looked at each other in bewilderment, not knowing what to do. They had never seen such a person before... He did not take their guards seriously at all!

After a while, the captain of the guard came out again.

"Sorry to have kept you waiting. Please follow me."

"Um."

After hearing the captain of the guard's words, Fang Zheng nodded, then took Ram and Rem off the flying boat and entered the palace.

The heavy door slowly opened, and then the voice of the captain of the guards was heard.

"Sorry to have kept you waiting. Lord Fang Zheng and his party have arrived."

As the door opened, Fang Zheng slowly walked into the hall, and at this time, almost everyone turned their heads involuntarily to look at him.

At the same time, Fang Zheng was also looking at the people in front of him.

There were two groups of people in different clothes on both sides of the hall. Judging from their appearance, the people in white on the left were military officers, and the people in purple on the right were civil officials. The throne in the middle of the hall was empty. There were two rows of tables on the left and right sides of the throne, with six old men with white hair and beards sitting on them.

If Fang Zheng guessed correctly, this was a member of the Society of Sages.

"Are you Fang Zheng?"

An old man sitting in the middle of the left table asked, and Fang Zheng nodded.

"Yes, that's me."

"Then you should know why we summoned you."

"About me killing Roswaal?"

“——!?”

As soon as Fang Zheng finished speaking, everyone present except the Sages Association showed surprised expressions. Apparently, this matter was considered a secret within the Kingdom of Lugnica, and probably only a very small number of people knew about it.

"That's right. Roswaal is the Border Earl of Lugnica and the Chief Mage of the Palace. Although we have learned the situation from the envoy of the Kingdom of Re-Estize, we still want to hear your explanation in person."

"Lord Miklotov! What on earth is going on?!"

At this moment, a man who looked very ugly in the civil service team immediately screamed.

"Lord Roswaal was killed? Was this done by the Kingdom of Re-Estize? Do they want to go to war with us, Lugnica?"

"Just be patient."

The old man named Miklotov coughed and looked at Fang Zheng again.

"Then please explain."

“Seeing is believing.”

However, to their surprise, Fang Zheng did not start explaining immediately as everyone thought, but instead laughed and took half a step forward.

"You'll probably overthink it if you listen to it, and I'm too lazy to waste my breath on it, so I'll just let you watch it."

As he spoke, Fang Zheng opened his personal terminal. Soon, a holographic image was projected into the air and appeared in front of everyone. Looking at the image in front of them, everyone's eyes widened in surprise, and some even exclaimed in surprise, but soon, they were attracted by the content of the image.

The picture showed the village that had been attacked by the Witch Cult before, as well as the Witch Cultists roaming around in it, and Fang Zheng also spoke at this time.

"I received an invitation from Blue Rose, saying that a cult called the Witch Cult appeared in the border area of ​​the kingdom. In order to investigate, I went to the border with the Blue Rose people. However, I found this village attacked by the Witch Cult. When I arrived, the Witch Cult had already won a great victory."

Looking at the bodies of the villagers being slaughtered and the witch cultists flying among them, many of the military officers frowned and showed angry expressions. The civil officials were much calmer. As for Ram and Rem, looking at the scene in front of them, they couldn't help but think of what happened in their own village. At this moment, they also lowered their heads and clenched their hands.

The video was shot from Fang Zheng's perspective. After all, it was recorded by Fang Zheng's personal terminal, and the shooting angle was similar to that of a law enforcement camera. However, compared to those shaky cameras, personal terminals are more stable and the picture will not shake.

Then everyone saw Fang Zheng arrive, defeat the witch cultist and rescue a pair of sisters. Immediately afterwards, Roswaal appeared, attacked Fang Zheng, and was then killed instantly by Fang Zheng.

When Roswaal's figure bloomed into a gorgeous firework in the night sky, the image ended there.

"Okay, that's basically what happened."

Fang Zheng closed his personal terminal and shrugged.

"For me, at the time I just thought he was just a high-ranking figure in the Witch Cult. Later I found out that he seemed to be the chief mage of your palace... That's it."

"What nonsense!"

At this time, the civil servant who had spoken before also reacted and loudly rebuked.

"You obviously did it on purpose! Looking at Lord Roswaal's attire, can't you tell he's a noble?"

"I really can't tell. If he were a normal person, I'm afraid he wouldn't act so quickly."

“Woo…”

Faced with Fang Zheng's indifferent rebuttal, everyone was speechless for a moment - after all, Roswaal's attire and behavior were far from normal. Fang Zheng said that it was not completely impossible that he mistook the other party for a witch cultist.

"This, this is all nonsense! This image must have been faked by you!"

However, the civil servant also turned pale, but soon spoke again, staring at Fang Zheng and roaring.

"Oh, what's the reason?"

"Lord Roswaal is the chief mage of the palace, and his strength is unquestionable! And in that video, you just swung your sword and killed him directly. This is absolutely impossible!"

Although the civil servant's words were a bit specious, many people nodded. As he said, although Roswaal's character was a well-known problem, his strength was also well known. Otherwise, the kingdom would not have appointed him as the Border Earl.

The young man in front of him looked to be in his early twenties, and his name had never been heard of on this continent before. It was hard to believe that such an unknown young man could kill the chief wizard Roswaal with a single sword.

"How is it? Do you have anything else to say?"

"I have nothing to say."

Fang Zheng shrugged his shoulders, looking calm.

"Perhaps to you, the man called Roswaal is very strong, but unfortunately, under my hands, he couldn't even withstand a single sword blow, and he is nothing more than a waste."

"Varied……"

"Besides, this time it's your turn to answer my questions."

Having said this, Fang Zheng's expression suddenly changed. At the same time, everyone felt that the air suddenly became much heavier.

"What's your intention in calling me here this time? Do you simply want to know the situation in the name of the Kingdom of Lugnica? Or... do you want to avenge your companions?"

"What do you mean?"

“That’s what it means.”

Fang Zheng narrowed his eyes, glanced at the people around him, then reached out and placed his hands on the shoulders of the two girls beside him.

"You have all seen that these two children are the survivors of this tragedy and are now adopted by me. However, I will not tolerate the continued rampage of the Witch Cult. They destroyed the hometown of these two children, so I have decided to destroy the Witch Cult. So if there is anyone here who is Roswaal's accomplice, please stand up and die quickly, so as not to waste my time."

"You, you mean that Lord Roswaal is a witch cultist? That's ridiculous!"

"Can you guarantee that? Can you guarantee that Roswaal has nothing to do with the Witch Cult? Then why did he appear at the scene of the Witch Cult's attack? That place is the territory of the Kingdom of Re-Estize. Why would a border earl of Lugnica go to a remote forest in another country? Is he traveling?"

"I……"

Faced with Fang Zheng's question, the civil servant immediately shut up.

How can he guarantee that?

Even for a normal person, he couldn't guarantee it, let alone a well-known freak like Roswaal! In fact, if Roswaal really had a connection with the Witch Cult, it wouldn't be surprising at all!

"That's it."

At this time, the old man from the Sages' Association finally spoke.

"Mr. Fang Zheng, let's not discuss why Roswaal went there and whether he has any connection with the Witch Cult. There is no solid evidence for these things at the moment. It's just your own words."

"Oh, so?"

"No matter what, Roswaal was the Border Earl of Lugnica and the Chief Mage of the Palace, and you killed him. Shouldn't you give us an explanation?"

"I should give you an explanation."

Facing the old man's question, Fang Zheng nodded.

"So I'm here now, right? Well, now that I've finished talking, if there's nothing else I'll go back and still make it in time for lunch."

“…”

Faced with Fang Zheng's unexpected answer, everyone was stunned. After a long while, the old man frowned and spoke.

"Is this your...explanation?"

"Yes, I stepped on an ant and killed it. I was kind enough to tell you why I stepped on it. I think that's enough."

Fang Zheng spread his hands and looked at the people in front of him with a rather innocent look.

"What else do you want?"

Hearing this, everyone was stunned.
