I, the sinner, will never die on the guillotine

Chapter 54: Her Highness Olivia is truly the wisdom of the empire (bushi)

Everyone stood there in astonishment.

I watched helplessly as a giant slime fell from the sky, splashing up a large amount of dust.

Kino smiled cruelly yet happily.

The armed head maid was surprised and admired.

The majesty of the two giant dragons paused for a moment, and there was a hint of weirdness in their eyes.

As for the leader of the Pigeon Group, "Colossus".

The war to wipe out the remnants of the Mad King, in which he lost countless brothers, left him with the scars of war;

The fear and helplessness of encountering the Undead King again;
Under the cold, cruel and foul magic of the New Book of the Dead, the fear was recalled again.

At this moment, a meteorite fell from the sky along with a giant slime and was crushed to pieces.

His muscles were tensed to the extreme, his eyes were wide open, and he was excited for a long time, but in the end he could only utter a simple word.

"Fuck!"

At this moment, everyone was awakened. The wave of magic power emitted by the magic book was instantly dissolved by Rimuru under everyone's doubtful gaze.

Some people watched helplessly as this inheritance, which symbolized the ultimate in necromancy magic, eventually turned into foam in the slime, and they were unable to accept it for a moment.

In the Star Continent where the people are simple and honest, top-level inheritances like this one, even if they have huge hidden dangers, will usually be confiscated and hidden for careful research.

But now someone has directly destroyed the inheritance of a magic king.

Louis snorted coldly: "If we don't destroy the magic book, will it be left for someone with ulterior motives to rise up again?"

Louis dared to swear on his own experience of reading through online novels that there was no telling how many traps the old silver coins had dug behind this magic book.

This group of people must have eight hundred schemes.

If you stay, I might really do something like "The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber" for you.

What are you staying for?!
If anything unexpected happens and puts Beatrice in more danger, he will have to clean up the mess.

It’s better to destroy it directly and be done with it!
At this time, someone seemed unwilling to accept this and shouted sinisterly:
"Are you trying to destroy it, or are you in a hurry to deal with the evidence?!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the adventure group of several hundred people began to riot.

Then someone else shouted:
"If I remember correctly, you should be Caesar, the bastard who shamelessly bullied the peasant girl and didn't even give her a penny!"

This caused a real commotion among the group of adventurers.

hiss!
The little swan who was clapping and cheering for Louis took a breath.

Logically speaking, she should be very happy to see Huoguo being humiliated.

But Little Swan is not a fool, so how could he not know that someone is instigating the trouble?

And what did Huoguo do to arouse so many adventurers' hatred?
She frowned slightly and looked at Lumi.

What Louis did was very secretive in the eyes of most people, but it could not be hidden from the royal family.

The head maid told Little Swan the whole story.

The little swan frowned slightly.

"Is it Louis who arranged for the adventurers to come to Dragon Bone Grassland? Is the purpose to expose the mastermind while saving people?"

“Maybe I really thought so.”

Lumi nodded and whispered:
"After all, the news about the living dead was discovered by His Royal Highness Louis, and..."

"And His Highness used his own personal treasury. It is said that when His Highness returned to the Prince's Palace, he was so heartbroken that he couldn't sleep for a long time."

I have to say, as expected of the head maid who was entrusted by the deceased princess, she has a deep knowledge of news from all sides.

"His Highness Louis made the girl kneel before the White Tower Mage statue. This must have been intentional."

"There was more than one newspaper on that road, and almost all of them were reminded at the same time to cover the big news."

"His Highness also directly issued the light and dark mission contracts through the guild in his capacity as a prince."

"When I came to see you, I found that the Dark Crows were suppressing a group of zombie monsters."

"If the royal guards and adventurers were not here this time, I'm afraid something serious would have happened here."

The little swan nodded:

"I see. And it seems this guy has also made a distinction between the adventurer's identity?"

Lumi nodded: "I'm afraid they are afraid that the disturbance will affect His Highness..."

Lumi watched helplessly as the usually heartless little swan's face darkened. The little swan said unhappily with a stern face:
"Mad King Rudelson was beaten to death by my father."

"Whether the New Book of the Dead needs to be preserved depends on us. When will it be the turn of others to comment on it?"

“I’m afraid it’s not whoever shouts louder who will be the interested party!”

"Lumi, have the guards arrest the ones who were shouting the loudest just now."

Lumi's face paused, and she said in a deep voice:
"Yes, Your Highness."

The royal guards didn't say a word and just started to act.

When they rushed to Longgu Grassland, they still thought that the little princess was so willful to run away from home.

But after seeing the chaos on Longgu Grassland, I finally understood what it meant to see the big picture from the small details.

Now, hearing this top-level strong man at the exemplary level mention the prince, my scalp tingles.

Is this the world of the wise?
The two wise men, who had not communicated with each other in advance, sensed the crisis from different angles almost at the same time.

A princess escaped personally, leading the royal guards to rush to her rescue.

A prince intervenes in the game himself, hiding adventurers as a backup.

Seriously——

The wisdom of the empire!

What else is there to say?

If Your Highness says that someone has a problem, then that person must have a problem!

Grasp!
At this time, our clever little Olivia was also frowning.

In fact, she wasn't sure that the person who had just started the commotion was really a stakeholder, but she instinctively felt that there was something wrong with that person.

I was still hesitating whether to arrest him.

But inexplicably, a fire suddenly rose in my heart.

"Even I am targeting Huo Guo within reasonable limits."

"Now you're trying to play this kind of trick of secretly implying that someone has no morals in a small department, and then using this as an excuse to smear someone?"

"Do you look down on Huoguo or do you look down on me?"

"I, Olivia, want to defeat Yinghuoguo. That is also a fair proof that he is incompetent!"

"It doesn't mean you can just throw dirty water on him."

Perhaps there is still a little bit of feeling wronged for the country?

So the little swan bared her teeth and decided not to be a stubborn duck today. She wanted to be a duck-billed fire dragon and gave a loud order:

"Catch the ones who are shouting the loudest! I want to ask them something!"

The scene was bustling with noise.

Before the adventurers on the field had the chance to denounce "the inherently evil adventurer Caesar", they found that several royal guards had come down and arrested several people.

The giant came to his senses and finally understood what happened from the others. He was furious on the spot:
"You are a bunch of idiots. Don't let others lead you!"

"Think carefully about why you accepted the mission and came to Dragon Bone Grassland. Think again about why they would directly confront the King of the Living Dead!"

"Find out who is our enemy and who is our friend!"

The royal guards came out first, and then the colossus came out to take sides.

Some of the adventurers also understood something and took a deep breath after thinking for a moment.

What an adventurer Caesar is.

What a great plan to conceal the truth.

Louis looked at Olivia in surprise.

Originally, he had prepared an excuse like "Adventurer Caesar commissioned Honorary Prince Louis to help him issue the light and dark contract missions."

It doesn’t matter whether these people believe it or not. Anyway, Caesar’s identity is to make it easier for him to handle the dirty and tiring work. As long as there is a reasonable explanation, it’s fine.

As for the possible slander?

What does it have to do with me, Louis? You can curse Caesar as much as you want!

Unexpectedly, before it was his turn to take action, the matter was suppressed by Cygnet and Colossus together.
