lord and his dragon

The first prince and the third prince gathered their troops and rushed to West Street as quickly as possible, and Weiss and Negrim also went to help together.

The riot this time was not because several swordsmen went mad together, but a protest by some swordsmen and the relatives of those swordsmen who died or were captured due to this incident.

The eldest prince sighed, and said: "I think you should already know the response we made to contain this incident before, we killed some guys with malicious intentions, and some honest swordsmen were conscious After realizing that I might hurt more people, I... decided to kill myself."

The third prince's face was a little heavy, and Weiss also sighed.

"But now, about the news from the person behind it, there are rumors that the potion will not make people completely crazy at all. The early symptoms are just some side effects. After they get over it, they will return to normal and regain Your own power," the eldest prince lowered his eyes, and said, "We all know that this possibility is very small, but we can't produce absolute evidence, and those people who lost their loved ones are more willing to believe this statement when they are excited, so the king Similar riots began to occur one after another in Tokyo."

The eldest prince sighed worriedly: "Shaking people's hearts is more difficult to deal with than pure violence. If the matter cannot be resolved quickly and everyone is told the truth, the matter may develop to the point of irreversibility."

While speaking, they had already arrived at the scene of the incident. The defense line composed of seven or eight guards was crumbling under the impact of dozens of people, not to mention the leaders including swordsmen. Once Negrim and the others arrived, those few The guards were overturned to the ground, and the people who brought them hurriedly made up for it, so they didn't rush to the eldest prince.

The First Prince's prestige among the people is obviously very high. Those people were just fighting against the guards meaninglessly before, but when they saw the First Prince, they immediately became excited.

Negrim heard the person in the front row shout loudly: "Your Highness! Don't you think of us the most? Everyone respects and adores you so much, how can you do such a thing with them? !"

Before the eldest prince could speak, another person said: "The magic medicine is harmless! It was made by that kind pharmacist to save us! Why don't you believe us?!"

Just as the first prince opened his mouth, the people next to him cried and begged again: "Please listen to what they said, you will be fine after taking the medicine, it's just some side effects, please release my husband, you Know he is a good man, he served in the Blade Guard, he was wounded for our country! Don't kill him, please, don't kill him... woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

"It's true what they say! Please! Let my father go!"

"Did you hear that? You demons! You killed my son! You have to pay for him! I won't let you go! He obviously...he can survive, he was going to be saved Already!"

If it hadn't been known earlier that this was a conspiracy by the Dragon Clan, even Negrim would have been shaken for a second after hearing so many people's complaints. The same is true for the First Prince and the Third Prince. Although the reporter wanted to be more angry, he couldn't hide the sadness in his eyes.

Weiss rolled his eyes, patted the First Prince on the shoulder, and said: "You know the truth is not like this, no one wants such a thing to happen, those deaths are not your fault, but the guy who tricked them into taking the potion Responsibility."

The eldest prince shook his head at Weiss sadly, turned his head and said loudly: "Everyone, please believe us, we have already got a clue about this matter, that potion is a conspiracy against the Blade Empire, and what you have heard is also true." It's all fake, I'm sorry, I'm equally saddened by what you've been through, but—"

"you liar!"

"Pristine guy, the promises you made before are all false! What protect us, shelter us, you raised the butcher knife to us with your own hands!"

"You deserve to step down from the position of Prince Chu, you are not worthy at all!"

"Guys who only say nice words, I don't want to hear them at all, I just want you to return them!"

"roll!"

I don't know who in the crowd threw a rotten egg at the first prince. He couldn't dodge it and was hit all over his body. An indescribable stench emanated from his body. The third prince exploded all of a sudden and shouted: "Brother! These bastards-"

"Look, they have revealed their true nature!"

"If we don't resist, their knives will come to us sooner or later!"

"I have nothing left, so what's the point of keeping this life? I'll fight with you!"

The desperate people gave up communicating and began to push and attack the guards instead, screaming, crying, berating, and cursing, and the scene suddenly became chaotic.

"Damn..." The third prince cursed secretly, and then he planned to go forward to help. Like Weiss, he is also a swordsman.

The eldest prince quickly stopped him and said: "Our identities should not conflict with the people, this will only cause greater misunderstandings, let the guards go, those leading people should be swordsmen who have taken medicine, put them Grab them, and the rest of the ordinary people should be scattered."

The third prince gritted his teeth and stopped. He looked at his elder brother, feeling sad and wronged: "But elder brother, are you being scolded by them for nothing? Or..."

The young man who couldn't control his emotions had a sore nose, and raised his hand to try to wipe off the stains on the eldest prince's body with his sleeve, but the latter smiled gently, grabbed his hand, and said, "These are nothing, If you wipe it again, we will both be stinky."

Seeing this, Nigrim stretched out his hand to Abel in silence. The latter always wears a handkerchief when he goes out with him, and this time is no exception. Nigrim handed the handkerchief to the First Prince, and he heard twice. Thanks.

The eldest prince sighed lightly, and said, "I really made you laugh."

Negrim shook his head: "They don't know the truth, but you are a good prince."

If little Milwes could be half as kind as the great prince of the Blade Empire, he wouldn't end up in the current situation in the end.

The eldest prince showed a shameful expression when he heard Negrim's words. If he was really a good prince, he would not see his people fall into the current desperate situation.

He was about to say something, but he heard a high-pitched scream from the crowd. Everyone turned their heads, and saw a swordsman who had been fighting against the guards with the crowd just now suddenly went berserk and pointed the weapon in his hand. When the ordinary people around him, Negrim and the others saw, there was already a young woman lying on the ground with a bloody head, her life and death unknown.

People screamed and wanted to disperse, but they were crowded too tightly before and surrounded by guards, and they would not be able to escape for a while. What was even more frightening was that, like a chain reaction, after the swordsman went mad, everyone in the crowd Several other swordsmen also lost their minds one after another!

The street at night turned into a purgatory in an instant. Several people fell to the ground, blood smeared all over the ground. At this time, the eldest prince didn't care about anything else, and immediately drew out the sword at his waist and rushed forward, commanding loudly: "Let the ordinary people out! Catch those crazy guys!"

The guards immediately carried out his order, but it was still a bit too late. An old woman was pushed to the ground, and a swordsman in front of her raised a weapon towards her. Seeing this, the First Prince burst out The speed that ordinary people can't match stopped in front of the old woman.

The third prince was startled when he saw this, and immediately shouted: "Brother! Be careful!"

While speaking, the swordsman's weapon had already been swung down, and the First Prince assumed a skilled and standard posture, subconsciously wanting to catch it with his sword.

The First Prince's swordsmanship looks very proficient and exquisite, but he seems to be just an ordinary person. When the two weapons meet, the First Prince's face immediately shows a strenuous expression, and within almost a second, the sword in his hand Cut off by the mighty power of the swordsman!Fortunately, just when the eldest prince was about to be split into two, the third prince arrived. In desperation, he could only kick his brother out, and instead caught the swordsman's spear instead of him. attack.

"Drink ah ah ah!!!"

The swordsman was extremely powerful due to the effect of the potion. The third prince was also a swordsman, and his forehead was also bulging. After a loud shout, he swung the opponent away and brought other guards to fight with him. Only then did I have the time to look at the situation of my brother.

Although the third prince wanted to protect his elder brother, the first prince fell to the ground in embarrassment when he kicked it down. When he looked at the back of his younger brother fighting, the first prince had an uncontrollable expression of loneliness on his face. But when the third prince looked over, he forced a smile again, and slowly got up from the ground like all ordinary people.

The third prince hurried over to help him: "I'm sorry! Are you okay, brother?"

But then he said angrily: "Why are you so careless? I know you are eager to save people, but can you tell me to go? You are just an ordinary person who can't fight!"

The smile on the eldest prince's face finally showed a crack at this moment. The third prince was taken aback for a moment, and then realized what he said, and said nervously and remorsefully: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, brother, I, I just accidentally, I didn't mean that, I was just too scared of you getting hurt..."

The eldest prince shook his head and said: "It's nothing, what you said was not wrong, I was too impulsive, if you hadn't arrived just now, not only would I die, I'm afraid the old lady would suffer as well."

As he spoke, he looked back at the chaotic crowd, only to see that the old woman had already taken advantage of the chaos and fled. This made him heave a sigh of relief, but also felt a little uncomfortable.

The eldest prince took a deep breath, adjusted his mood, and said, "It's almost over, let's go, go and have a look."

Only the few three or four swordsmen who were really capable of causing trouble to the guards, under the siege of the guards, they were quickly controlled, and there were still some people around who were unwilling to let go, still staying where they were, hostile Looking at the two princes and the guards.

The eldest prince rubbed his eyebrows and said: "Put them in prison, and the rest of the ordinary people... Forget it, let them go, they are all innocent and have no ability to do anything—"

"Why not kill them?!"

The eldest prince was taken aback, and looked at the source of the sound, only to see that the closed doors and windows of the houses on both sides had been opened a crack, it was the residents here, who had already fallen asleep, and were woken up by the scolding , but after seeing who was gathering outside, they could only close the doors and windows, pretending to be asleep, until the First Prince dealt with the mob before they dared to poke their heads out.

I don't know who said that sentence just now, but soon there were echoes from both sides.

Someone spat at the relatives of the death swordsman who was still standing there, and cursed: "Your relatives are human, but our relatives are not human? It's not us innocent people who let those crazy demons out!" People suffer?! Sooner or later, he will kill you too!"

"Don't put them back in some prison, kill them directly! Your Royal Highness, we are all innocent!"

"Your Royal Highness, we are also afraid! Are we going to be killed by lunatics for no reason without doing anything?"

"Someone was beaten to death on the East Street two days ago, how pitiful, who is going to appeal for him? If His Majesty hadn't issued a pension, those whose family members were victims would have to gather to oppose their punishment for those murderers. The devil of the world will be punished leniently?"

The relatives of the group of swordsmen were trembling from the scolding, and their faces were flushed with anger. One of the women screamed: "You ungrateful bastards! My husband lost his strength just to protect you! How can you now? Say something like that?!"

"Why can't you say it? They deserve it!" Someone shouted: "Why do they have to pursue power like this?! Has our country, our Majesty, treated them badly? Who is the tax we pay supporting?! They usually Don't you receive enough respect?"

"Don't there be neighbors who give you things and take care of you on weekdays? Even if you can't fight anymore, has anyone ever given them a discriminating look? They don't have to work, and you don't have to work. You live with pensions. Living a life without worrying about food and drink, you are already so happy, why do you have to take medicine and pursue strength?!"

"They just want to be superior to others!" Someone said: "Can't control their desires, don't know how to be satisfied, this is what they deserve! Your Royal Highness, listen to the voices of us ordinary people, please eradicate these dangerous guys as soon as possible !"

The First Prince opened his mouth and said, "No, they don't..."

It's not that they want to be superior to others, it's just that the gap in life after losing their power is too great. Any trivial matter that others don't need to care about may be breaking their psychological defenses—if they have the ability to fight If so, who wants to hide behind forever and receive offerings?

However, at this moment, the crowd was so angry that many relatives of the swordsmen who had been aggressive were scolded and ran away, and the eldest prince couldn't say anything more. He just looked at the angry and excited faces of those people blankly and disappointedly. In the end, he could only hoarse his voice. Said: "I, I understand everyone's feelings, but they are not only soldiers who once sacrificed their lives for us, but also... are also important...helpers in researching the source of antidote and medicine..."

The eldest prince said with difficulty: "I will try my best to resolve this matter. I promise, it won't be too long. When the matter is over, I will definitely give everyone an explanation."

People obviously don't want to give up just like this, but because the eldest prince has already made a promise, and he is very respected and loved in everyone's hearts, they are willing to believe in this eldest prince who has never disappointed them before, so they are unwilling He closed the doors and windows again, and stopped peeking or talking.

The eldest prince looked wearily at the relatives of the swordsmen who stayed where they were, and said, "You guys also leave quickly, I'm afraid you will suffer everyone's revenge when we leave...Those soldiers did do something wrong, But I believe they didn't have any malice at first, so don't pay too much attention to what other people say."

"I'm sorry for those who have died. I will apply to the emperor for consolation money. For those who are still alive, please don't despair. We have already begun to find a way to develop an antidote, but you must not listen to those words anymore. It was the black hands behind the scenes who came to lie to you."

Someone asked: "Will their old wounds heal after taking the antidote? Or will they return to the state where they can't even do heavy work?"

The eldest prince was dumbfounded for a long time, and could only say: "Sorry, the antidote hasn't been developed yet, and I can't guarantee it, but I can regain my sanity, stop going crazy and live, I think this is... enough, right?"

Those people looked at the eldest prince with complicated eyes, but they didn't say anything, but left one by one in silence.

Those swordsmen who were arrested still hadn't regained their senses. The eldest prince waved his hand, signaling the guards to take them away, and thanked Negrim, "Thank you so much for coming to help tonight."

There was a swordsman who was very difficult to deal with, and it was Abel who helped to restrain him.

Negrim shook his head and said, "It's not a big deal, and it's not just helping you, it's helping everyone."

The eldest prince smiled at him gently, and said with admiration: "You are really an upright and wise lord, there is a reason why the Marginal Forest and the No Man's Land can become the famous Gaiden of the whole continent in your hands. "

"It's ridiculous."

The eldest prince said to Weiss: "I'm sorry to trouble you tonight. We already know the matter, so we will leave it to us. You can take the Dragon Lord back to rest first."

Hearing this, Weiss glanced at the two of them with some concern, and then said to the third prince, "Don't make your brother angry."

The third prince rolled his eyes at him: "Are you too embarrassed to say such things to others?"

Wes: "You know the way you roll your eyes like an idiot?"

The third prince: "..."

Before the third prince raised his hammer violently, Weiss stepped aside and led the two of Negrim towards the hotel: "Slip away, don't play with children."

The third prince was so angry that Weiss stomped on the spot: "Brother, look at him!"

The eldest prince was amused by Weiss, but the smile only appeared for a brief moment, and then disappeared from his face.

The eldest prince didn't know what he was thinking, he looked at the dark and dense night around him, he felt as if he was surrounded by invisible pressure, he couldn't help but looked at his younger brother worriedly and sadly, and asked: "Little brother, you... ...Do you also think those people are self-inflicted?"

After the third prince was stunned for a moment, he realized that the first prince was talking about those swordsmen, he immediately put on a straight face, and said seriously: "You can't say that it's self-inflicted, after all, no one thought that the consequences would be so serious, but they were indeed wrong. There should be no greedy pursuit of strength, if they were strong enough, our country would not suffer such turmoil at all."

The eldest prince seemed a little relieved, but he was a little unwilling, and couldn't help but said: "What if something happens to you? If one day you lose your own strength—"

"Then I will never blame others," the third prince said firmly, "I will stick to my heart, do what I can, and dedicate my last strength to this country!"

The eldest prince was taken aback for a moment, but his face became paler.

The third prince didn't expect his elder brother to show such a reaction, and subconsciously asked, "What's wrong with you?"

The eldest prince gave him a complicated look, shook his head, lowered his eyes and said: "It's nothing, it's late at night, let's go back and rest, there are still many things to be busy tomorrow."

The third prince responded inexplicably, walked to the side of the eldest prince and left with him.

He didn't observe his brother's footsteps from behind, so he didn't realize how lonely and dejected the Eldest Prince's back was.

When Weiss sent Negrim back to the hotel, everyone else had already fallen asleep. Weiss himself yawned, waved to Nigrim and Abel at the door, and said, "I have to, too. Go back to sleep, if you want to find me, send someone directly to my manor, everyone in the capital knows where I live, just ask casually."

He was about to leave when Negrim stopped him.

"What's wrong? Is there anything else?" Weiss turned around and blinked his eyes in a daze.

Negrim looked at him and asked, "What happened to the First Prince?"

This question made Weiss wake up all of a sudden. He looked at Negrim, then at Abel, and said with some embarrassment, "Did Abel see it?"

Negrim nodded.

After the first prince and the crazy swordsman had a move, Abel told Negrim that the first prince's posture and starting hands are typical swordsmen's sword skills in battle, because the physique is different from ordinary people, Even if ordinary people also practice swordsmanship, their moves are completely different from those of swordsmen.

From this it can be seen that at least when the eldest prince was receiving swordsmanship training, he learned the swordsmanship that only swordsmen would use.

Either his teacher at the time thought that the First Prince would become a swordsman, or the First Prince was already a swordsman at that time, but even Nigrim could see that the current First Prince is just an ordinary person, he What happened to him?
