It's not the protagonist, what does it matter if you are trapped in the Shura field

Chapter 540 Flowers and Steel (3700 words)
Loveli, who had used all her strength, was a little dazed for a moment.

Win, win?
As she watched the huge figure disappear, she finally felt a sense of reality on her face. She took a deep breath and adjusted her breathing.

Although she knew that most of the credit was due to that jerk, but...

This... this is just a demon god! He still lost to me! This must be my contribution, right?
Well, as far as an actual combat is concerned, it did perform quite well.

Luo Wei didn't have the heart to burst her fantasy. As long as she knew her own strength, she wouldn't be needed to fight. But it was good to have such an experience. In the past, things like this had to be conquered by forming a subjugation team, and not everyone had the opportunity to experience it in person. It was just that his and Saya's combat power was beyond the standard.

Looking not far away, the monk was lying lifeless on the ground, his body gradually turning into a point of light.

"He committed suicide..." Saya turned around and said with difficulty.

"Ah."

Luo Wei was not surprised. After all, there was no one here that he could take away before he died. What surprised him was Saya. He was able to defeat the agent by only using 50% of her power.

She's really about to get promoted.

"Hasn't he ever thought about opening a teleportation array to escape or something?" Saya frowned and said, holding the gun.

"We will track him down," Luo Wei closed his eyes. "He probably realized that I have been keeping an eye on him, and he seems to want to hide the fact that he has no contact with the outside world until his death."

"Is this important?"

"I hope it's not important."

Luo Wei glanced at the far end of the venue. He had noticed when they first came in that next to a door at the end, there was also a large pit for loading red crystal columns.

The three of them came to the door together.

"What is this door?" Lovely said as she looked at the patterns on it.

"A seal," Luo Wei looked up and said, "or in other words, a door that separates what's inside from the outside world."

This is different from the gate of qualification at the goddess of life, Daisy Terry. It is full of ancient words about suppression. Although Luo Wei cannot read it, he has opened many such gates in the last round. They are all hidden deep in the maze and ruins. Most of them suppress evil spirits that cause trouble to the local area. Considering where this place is, it is probably the suppression place of an ancient king of the Lion Garden. It is not worthy of living with the heroic spirits and is therefore sealed here.

But this door is no longer functional.

Luo Wei tried to push the door open with his bare hands, and sure enough, there was no resistance and it opened easily.

"??? Didn't you say seal?"

"It means someone has opened it." Luo Wei walked in.

And inside was empty. There was nothing in the secret room as big as a library. Not to mention the sleeping evil spirits, there was not even a cup left for them to be buried with.

After walking around, I didn't find anything. The useful parts of the sealing vessel had been removed, leaving only an empty sarcophagus.

"A thief, or is he?" Lovely frowned.

"It can only be said that someone moved all the things away before us." Luo Wei looked around and said.

It seemed as if they didn't want him to see anything, as the ground was covered with thick dust. After checking everywhere, the golden eyes scanned but didn't find anything worth noting.

But no matter what, they found the sixth red crystal column. The next step is to let Felicia be responsible for dismantling it. Lovely may need to be contacted with the palace. The knights of the royal city will not ignore such a thing.

After finishing these matters and coming out of the palace, the three were about to check on the situation of another group, but they received some unexpected news.

Randall went to town.

……

Lion Garden Capital, main city area, Saint Laurent Square.

"People of Lion Court—"

The people in the square surged like a tide, raising their hands in joy, and large numbers of people continued to gather on the streets.

"I know that you have been troubled by some things in the capital recently and are deeply worried about it. The rumor about the flame has been considered to be true."

When Luo Wei, Shaye and Luo Fuli arrived, the speech was already halfway through. The prime minister, dressed in an orthodox Lion military uniform and guarded by the regular army of the Lion Garden, stood majestically on the podium and delivered a speech.

Lovely: “……!”

Looking at the huge crowds of people around him, Luo Wei cast his gaze towards the middle-aged man standing on the stage.

So majestic.

The calls and support are totally on a different level from those of the Princess and the Little Devil. Her mere appearance is enough to arouse the enthusiasm of the people.

This is probably the difference between flowers and steel.

Flowers can make people happy, bring confidence and yearning; while steel brings authority and strength, as well as unquestionable laws.

Even if Lovellie was at the height of her power during this period, her popularity was still too immature compared to the absolute ruler who had held power in Lion Court for more than a decade. Even if she ascended the throne as the heir candidate, I'm afraid people would call for the prime minister to continue ruling the country, or for the two to rule together.

In fact, the last round ended in a similar way.

Lovely and the others ended up in a draw with Randall. No one could say they won, but no one could say they lost either. The situation in Lion Garden was only temporarily eased with the two of them in power.

"But..." Randall's voice rose several degrees, "Lion Garden will never tolerate such a crude evil, Melendel will never tolerate such a crude evil!"

"Oh oh oh--!!!"

The sound of the crowd was as deafening as a rushing torrent.

This man can infect other people's emotions without deliberately creating an atmosphere. His personal charm when appearing in front of everyone is enough to convince people. He is a natural orator.

He is also a strategist, politician and doer.

The fanaticism of the people in the royal capital is not just empty belief. The changes that Randall has brought to the Lion Garden over the past decade, the countless battles he has won, and the continuous improvement in living standards have all been reflected in the people's daily lives. They are even enough to make them spontaneously donate war taxes, feel proud of being one of the most powerful countries in the continent, and will not bow down or compromise with any country.

Of course, there is no such thing as free favors in this world. In the past decade or so, as Lion Garden has grown increasingly powerful, countless countries and territories have disappeared from the map.

There was nothing for Luo Wei to judge about this. Randall was an out-and-out ambitious man, and an ambitious man should do what an ambitious man should do. As for whether he had forgotten the original intention of the founding of Lion Garden and the inheritance of thousands of years, this was not something for him to judge. Politics and power themselves were tools used to gain greater favors.

The lives of the people of Lion Garden did become better, because they believed that Randall would definitely bring victory, and the more stable the peace would be after the war, the better the benefits would be returned to the people. When this feeling became a habit, it was imprinted in the minds of an entire generation.

Lovelli watched from the audience with her fists clenched.

In her heart, she did not actually deny the prime minister's achievements, and to say that his political achievements were biased was just deceiving herself.

But the Lion Garden was not without its heyday in history. Should the war continue? The current prime minister can continue to do this. Who will bear all the responsibilities when he is no longer in power? Who will face the anger of the dozens of countries that were destroyed on the continent? Will it not be the Lion Garden itself? Or does he intend to sit in the position of regent for hundreds of years like those previous kings who ended up in different ways, making all the kings during this period puppets, and finally bring disaster to the Lion Garden?
Lion Garden was not founded for this reason.

Our ancestors who sacrificed their eternal lives to maintain the kingdom did not awaken for such reasons.

Randall stood at the podium, closed his eyes and smiled, and said in a steady and powerful voice, "It is an honor to meet you all here today."

Lovely: “!!”

The prime minister noticed him.

The other person was standing on the podium where she had delivered a speech a few days ago. He suddenly mentioned this as if he was talking to her. Loveli felt only shame.

"I am very pleased to hear that many people in the capital have made efforts recently. Especially under the leadership of Her Highness the Fifth Princess, the response to the fire was carried out in an orderly manner without our presence. It must be a blessing for us to have such an outstanding heir to the kingdom."

"oh oh!!"

"Long live Her Highness the Fifth Princess!!"

"Long live the Prime Minister!!"

Listening to the cheers of the crowd, Luo Wei looked at Lovely's livid face, crossed his arms and shook his head helplessly.

I just told you not to provoke me so easily.

"However, how can such a difficult task be undertaken by the princess alone?" Randall said solemnly, "I have often worried about what efforts we should make in this situation. Fortunately, I did not disappoint Her Royal Highness the Princess. Last night, I finally captured one of the culprits!"

"What?!" Saya was stunned.

Luo Wei also narrowed his eyes and looked over. A man in a black robe was escorted to the podium by the knights of the regular army.

This is……

"These people are trying to commit the crime of fire in the capital. They are the most heinous people in the kingdom." Randall said solemnly, "And they are not the only one in charge. The others are still hiding in various corners of Melendel, trying to continue to commit unforgivable crimes."

"Damn it!"

"Damn!!"

The people threw stones, vegetable leaves and eggs at the kneeling man, and someone even took out a throwing knife and stabbed it into the floor.

The man was in a daze, as if he couldn't concentrate on all this.

"..."

Luo Wei recognized him.

This was the man who said the Grand Duke had betrayed them that night when the Red Needle Duke burned the cultists.

Although they didn't look like the same person, Luo Wei still remembered his aura. At least the man in front of him did not hide his aura.

"This man's crime is indeed unforgivable," Randall said in a deep voice, "So today we hope to give the public an explanation and express our position. The Lion Garden will never tolerate the existence of such thugs."

"what?"

When he saw the knight in charge of execution walking forward, Lowe frowned.

Lovely also reacted in surprise, this is going to -

Executed in front of the public?

After a brief hesitation, people came to their senses. They would not have much mercy on those who attempted to burn down the entire royal city and kill their relatives and children.

Shaye frowned and turned around, "We finally caught him alive, and you're planning to execute him in front of the public?"

Luo Wei shook his head.

Judging from the man's condition, he seemed to have been brainwashed. I'm afraid that everything in his head had been drained out long ago, otherwise Randall would not have been able to say that the other party was the person in charge.

Did Randall get any other clues from this?

While Luo Wei was thinking, the knight in charge of the execution had already approached and put the sword on the man's neck.

The people's anger was growing more and more intense, and Randall responded to the people's demands at this time and raised his hand high on the podium.

"This is our determination!"

When he swung down, the knight's sword fell with a sound, but the scene waiting for the people was not what they had imagined. The man's neck was cut off and merged into a complicated filament, which connected the hideous head and stretched out towards the crowd.

That was not the hatred of a dying person, but the smile of a hideous person that only appeared in nightmares.

"Haha! You will all die, don't worry... don't worry..."

What awaits him is the judgment to be carried out by the third-level god himself.

When everything was settled, Randall stood on the podium and solemnly reminded the public: "It's not over yet--"

"This man and his accomplices are still hiding in Melendell. We must find them all and crush their plans."

"Before that, I hope the whole city will make fire prevention a top priority! These people are all inhumane evil people who will try every means to threaten our lives. Don't have any luck. Prepare for fires on the premise that they will still happen. I will fully support you."

At this time, Randall smiled and glanced at the five princesses standing in the crowd.

"Before everything is settled——"

“We all have to find ways to get through this.”
