Don't call me evil god

Chapter 677 Obstructions are Everywhere
After some somewhat laborious communication, the three finally understood what had happened.

These farmers were hired by Marquis Madison. They only need to focus on farming and don't need to worry about anything else.

They also handed over all the sales of agricultural products to Marquis Madison.

In terms of process.

All harvested and processed crops will be taken away by the transport caravans arranged by Marquis Madison. Farmers don't have to worry about being cheated by merchants at too low a price, or not having enough time to sell fruits and vegetables that are difficult to store, causing them to rot and be wasted.

After Marquis Madison receives the payment from the caravan, he will give the farmers their share.

Now that Madison is dead, these farmers are at a loss.

They don't know where to go to get the money that belongs to them, nor do they know what to do next.

Prince Fradin had a headache. He tried hard to explain to these people:

"Everyone, the LG Chamber of Commerce is responsible for guaranteeing the agreement, so even if something happens to Marquis Madison, you don't have to worry. The people in the Chamber of Commerce will handle these matters."

But the farmers don’t know anything about chambers of commerce.

They only focus on the things that are most relevant and important to them:
"When will the people from the Chamber of Commerce arrive?"

“How are they going to fix it, and how long will it take for us to get the money?”

"Sir, will there be a new Marquis here in the future?"

Prince Fradin scratched his head helplessly: "Is this ok? Everyone, I will help you find someone from the LG Chamber of Commerce!"

"He will be here to help you solve your problem before dark today!"

If it were someone else.

Faced with the demands raised by these farmers, they can simply turn a blind eye and pretend that they do not exist.

But not Fradin.

He is the future king of this kingdom, and he has the responsibility and obligation to take good care of any citizen of the kingdom.

It’s okay if you don’t know.

The farmers actively sought his help, so he had to do everything he could to help them.

Turning his head helplessly, Fradin apologized to both Pete and Reina.

"You've seen it, too. Sorry, I can't go with you to investigate the Marquis's estate."

"I have to go back to the capital first and find the person from LG Chamber of Commerce who is in charge of this matter."

Pete and Lena naturally had no objection.

"Don't worry, Your Highness. Leave the investigation to us. If we find anything, we will tell you."

……

Prince Fradin turned around and got on the same carriage he had taken and headed back to the capital.

Pete and Reina were the only ones left at the scene.

"Let's go and see what happened in the manor."

The two held hands and walked towards the "main entrance" of the Marquis's estate.

It is called the main gate, but in fact, after being burned by fire, only half of the collapsed wall and a large gap are left. The originally magnificent arched gate has completely collapsed.

Four people from the Church of the Glowing God were standing outside the door, dressed like crusaders.

Pete and Reina walked forward.

"Hey, don't come near!"

When one of them saw Pete and Reina, he immediately clenched the silver one-handed hammer in his hand and shouted to stop them.

"It's very dangerous here. No one is allowed to approach. This is for your safety!"

Pete raised his hand helplessly and rubbed out an arcane spark.

"Sir, we are not unrelated." "You may have heard of my name. I am Pete Chinal. I just had an audience with His Majesty the King a few days ago."

"We have heard about the Marquis Madison's manor. We can help you investigate and see if there are any useful clues here."

Upon hearing this, the other party looked at Pete with a little suspicion.

Finally, he shook his head firmly:

"Excuse me, sir, ma'am."

"The order we received is to protect this place. Only those who are allowed to enter can enter. There are still dangerous evil powers remaining inside."

"I can't let you in without orders."

Pete frowned, "Then how can I get permission?"

The other party shook his head in a very single manner: "Sorry, I don't know either."

"The order I received came from my superior. Perhaps you can go to the Holy Land of Glory. There should be someone there who is specifically responsible for this matter."

I hit a snag at the entrance to the manor.

Pete didn't expect that they wouldn't be able to get in!
Although from a procedural point of view, there was nothing wrong with the actions of these Crusaders, on the one hand it was to prevent unrelated personnel from accidentally entering and getting hurt, and on the other hand it also avoided the scene being destroyed due to too many people and too many eyes.

But this made Pete very uncomfortable.

Just leave now?

That would be a wasted trip and no clues would be found.

But they had no reason to force their way in.

What made Pete even more helpless was that when they arrived, they took Prince Fladin's carriage.

The carriage was well-equipped in every aspect, both in terms of speed and comfort, so it took less than half a day to get here.

If you want to return to the capital by walking, it will take a long time!
Prince Fradin had to return early to help the nearby farmers, and Pete and Reina lost the means to return to the capital quickly.

Calculate the time.

They might as well just wait where they are and wait for Prince Fradin to come over with the head of the LG Chamber of Commerce.

I believe that with Prince Fradin's identity, if he wants to enter the Marquis's manor, no one would dare to stop him.

"How could it be such a coincidence? Tsk...it would be better if the prince could leave a little later."

Pete frowned, and he had that strange feeling again, just as he instinctively suspected that there was something wrong with Rune Monge.

Since they arrived here, obstructions everywhere have been trying to hold them back and prevent them from entering the Marquis Madison's estate.

Reina suddenly sniffed carefully in the direction of the Marquis's manor:
"Suck—suck—"

Then a surprised nasal sound came out:
"Um?!"

"What's wrong?" Pete shook his head, putting aside his instinct for the moment.

Reina leaned close to Pete's ear and whispered in a low voice:

"I smell the sulfur of the devil's magic!"

Pete felt his heart leap.

If we talk about the person who is most closely connected with the devil near the royal capital of Starosh, there is only one person, and that is Rune Monger!
think carefully.

The Marquis of Madison was indeed very close to Rune Monge.

I usually stay at Monger Manor.

His presence was also very felt at that banquet.

Even these local farmers, in the agreement they signed with Marquis Madison, the LG Chamber of Commerce, which served as the intermediary guarantor, was also an industry under the name of Rune Monge!
This fire was inextricably linked to Rune Monge.

This richest man has once again become the key figure in the incident!
